Her Imperial Majesty Empress Pavlina I Ananto flew to Magrathea, Ikradon today to represent Kalistan in the Artanian Conference.  Seen as an attempt to unite the poor, benighted Artanian States against their evil, bloodthirsty foreign oppressors, the Empress thought it would be prudent to be in attendance so that the Artanians do not conduct plans in secret which might affect Seleya.  Her Imperial Majesty took the rare moment to informally speak to our reporter before boarding the plane to Ikradon.

"We have asked Organizer if possible that we should attend conference on Artanian Security and cooperation," said Her Imperial Majesty.  "We see conference as running parallel to own efforts here in Kaliburg, as analog to effort that Seleyan nations are working on to resist Artanian incursion into continent.  We believe their effort to work together on their continent has long history and tradition in Artania, going back to Artanian Union of collective security.  It is history we understand, and validate, and we welcome opportunity to observe proceeding and be up to date in outcomes.  As all know, We were born and raised in Artania, in Kundrati, and still have most relatives there.  Naturally We are very interested in effort of Artania, and also Kundrati, to work together and cooperate.  It is our hope, that if Artania work together, they agree to leave our new home, Seleya alone, and focus on self."

The Empress flew with the Minor Princess Carolina first to Etxea Kundrati, where the Princess will stay with relatives while the Empress shuttles back and forth between the Anantos' home there and Ikradon.  "We intend to bring Carolina to proceeding few days, not only to meet President of Kundrati if possible, but also to observe how diplomats work in conference like this.  Someday, she will be Empress, and she need to begin observe these type of event.  We also seek to introduce her to more of world, and teach her that there is much to see and learn in travel.  She hardly remembers Kundrati, and we feel that it is link that must not be severed for her.  So we feel, is important to visit Artania from time to time just to reconnect with root."

Her Imperial Majesty said she has asked to be seated with Beitenese observers, who will also be in attendance.  "We have much to discuss during conference," said the Empress.  "Is necessary to talk with them and also with Lourennais, about rocket.  Both states have excellent experience, and it is our desire to take opportunity, while we are not allowed to speak in conference, to hold mini summit of our own at event.  We have been asked to remain silent during conference and not interrupt, but we think this was requested to allow Luthorian to hear self think.  We will honor request of Host Ikradon.  We also look forward to meeting with Esteemed Working Class servants at Conference.  Meeting them is far more interesting to us than meeting Luthorian delegation."

The Empress said she will stay at the conference as long as she can, but can and will return to Kalistan either as soon as the conference ends, or she is needed at home.  "Meanwhile, we asked Mark Ananto to act in our place, and he will work with Sir Bertram (Ames-Ananto, Chancellor of the Empire) in Government until we return."
