Though Hezago, with the help of his friends, had managed to fix the ‘Existencial decay’, rest simply could not come. A lot had to be done before he would render the outer decimation ring cancelled, so to his dismay and that of every of his other selves,

8:56 A.M.

Society of Nations Building
Lagos, New Ivory

The leaders of various countries flooded in, exhausted looks on their faces. They had been called for a mandatory emergency meeting regarding a gigantic land mass that had spontaneously appeared in the Atlantic Ocean at 8:30 a.m. on the dot.

However, that was not the most concerning aspect of the situation. The concerning part was that ships that neared what were now being considered the landmasses’ territorial waters either exploded, were forced backwards, or disappeared into a location that would not be found until weeks later, many of which included somewhere in a random forest or outer space.

And also, adding to the chaotic ordeal, satellites couldn't see what was on the land itself, only a plain green colour in an outline of the landmass. No other detail, no grass, no rivers, no nothing, was to be seen. Some hysterical people began to claim it as a soon to be alien invasion, or a coming of whatever religion they believed in, neither of which, as they would soon discover, was the case.

Anyway, the leaders of their respective nations sat down, the head of the global organisation, the Society of Nations, clambering onto the centre podium. The person, tall, dark, and curly haired, spoke. “I welcome you all to this emergency convening of the Society of Nations. A landmass has appeared in the North Atlantic Ocean, bringing chaos and turmoil. We are here this morning to discuss its presence, what we'll do about it, and how many set shipping lands have been affected by its existence.”

“Now, we will begin by going in alphabetical order, first starting with the diligent rulers of the Kingdom of Afghanistan-”

BANG
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVcPDAhXL2V
Went one of the gigantic double doors in the domed building, and in came a man. He was wearing a black top hat, white stripe across the bottom, a black suit with rather long coattails, and an umbrella in hand; gold and black in colour.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVA55AxuyOH
He walked swiftly to the centre podium, as if in a rush to present something. Someone spoke, alarmed by the lack of action. “Guards! Intruder! Why aren't they-?” The man then spoke, his voice seeming surprisingly loud. “They won't respond. And no, I didn't kill them.” He said, after seeing the look on some of their faces. “It was a simple knockout spell, they’ll be fine.” He said, proceeding to brandish his umbrella.
73Please respect copyright.PENANArjKf5XIlc4
“Anyways,” he said, shooing the head of the organisation, who looked reproachful, but complied, “You know that landmass that appeared about 30 minutes ago? That was me, but that’s not what I'm here to tell you about. I’m here to announce that magic is real, and-” The serious air in the room was instantly evaporated by the laughter that followed. Many of the prime ministers, presidents and kings and all were chuckling and laughing except a select few, which included the CNA's queen, Miss Varias, yes, still unmarried.

The man glared at them all, silver eyes that they hadn't noticed until now silencing them effectively. He smiled thinly, silently enraged. “Now, if we were to continue on-” He was then interrupted by somebody else. “Look, I don't know how you got past the guards, but you better get out-” The voice was then muffled followed by a silent choking noise. “Now, are there any more questions? None? Good. Let's get this started.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAoGIp0CaxTs
“Before I was so rudely interrupted, I mentioned magic being real. As apprehensive as some of you are to this idea, it is, sadly, your reality, and it will stay as such. Now,” the room went dark, and a gigantic holographic screen appeared, floating above the centre. “This, is a map of the landmass that conveniently appeared about an hour ago. This is a map of where most magical societies are!” most of the room gasped, not expecting such large amounts. “Some of you are magical, and already know of this information, whereas the vast majority of you aren't, meaning I'll have to give you all a quick presentation.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAkKbujkbhFX
Ignoring the room's slightly tense silence, he continued. “So magic. What was previously seen as mythical is now reality. However, you cannot just group every single magicking group under one umbrella! There needs to be some understanding, else your people just might overthrow you and kill you and your family, but we’ll ignore that. Anyways, magicking society is grouped into three somewhat distinct groups.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAOzdCvxh2df
“First we have sentient creatures! This means anything that can talk, and learn. This could range from full creature beings like unicorns to half creature beings like minotaurs. According to our law, New Galaxia, they have the same rights as humans, so I urge you to treat them as such.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAB1Opu4zZG5
“The next group we have are people with magic. This is essentially a person who can brandish a wand or a staff or something, they just don't look like they can. They are the most populous of the magicals, and are everywhere, even if you don't realise it.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAyURupFVg8i
“Then lastly, we have something that's a mix of both. A sentient creature that has access to human magic, a very common ordeal. Although not as common as the previous one, those who have the ability to wield other magics have more complex spells that most don't have time for to fit in and practice. Any questions? Oh, and, Mr Zealand, some of them have religion, but the vast majority don't.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANA1MyZWGvYQW
Mr Zealand sat, bewildered, surprised by what seemed like mind reading.
73Please respect copyright.PENANASk4hddOMhN
“So no questions? Fantastic. Now the other things. You see this map of concentration of magicals? Yes, well, magicals have been living in these undersea republics, kingdoms, etc of their choice! This means that your political waters now conflict with their airspace, so I recommend sorting that out if they desire to reveal themselves. Unification would likely be the easiest solution to that, but you decide! War or not, the choice is yours.”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQiNV0Rx4I2
“But forget that!” He said, with a new energy that seemed to come from nowhere. “Let's define the outline of our foreign policy!” The hologram changed, brightening the room instantly. A map of the landmass, plus Newfoundland and Labrador, appeared. “This, my fellow leaders, is New Galaxia! Now the most populated on Terra,” A stat saying so appeared, “And also the richest nation on the planet! It’s also a bunch of other things that I won’t bother to mention.” A plethora of other stats showed up, then promptly disappeared.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAchyc5zFLnz
“But down to the basics! This, is the capitol; Borealis City,” part of the map on the brightest most side brightened/highlighted before fading back to its norm. “These are our provinces,” said provinces highlighted before fading back to norm, “And this, is the transportation centre! If attacked I would make sure to kill every member if any single government authority authorised such a thing!” That last comment left a good chunk of people startled.
73Please respect copyright.PENANA8ggej9QZby
“Any questions?” The prime minister of New Anglsnd spoke. “Yes, why do you have Newfoundland in Labrador under your control?” “I was waiting for somebody to ask that! The population of said provinces are mostly if not completely magical, and have henceforth requested entrance into The Commonwealth of New Galaxia! It was also approved by the CNA, so…” murmur spread across the room, most unsure. “Oh, and, before you go around saying we stole it, they sold it to us for around $93 billion dollars, okay?” The murmurs continued, this time more calm. “Now that's been taken care of, I have one more thing.” The room went silent at this.
73Please respect copyright.PENANA83tet0KFY4
“If any atrocity, human rights violation, or act of blood spillage or something of the sort is committed against a magical, prepare for war. That is, if the Solicis clause is in effect. Check our government website if you're ever unsure.” He then suddenly brightened, leaning fashionably on his umbrella. “Hope I left a good first impression~!”
73Please respect copyright.PENANAf138B6nvwU
And some members’ slight worry and surprise, he disappeared, this time with a crack, as the guards stirred back to life.

Hi! Welcome to the Borealis’s list of fun facts!
73Please respect copyright.PENANACfcqSqsVWb
Did you know?
73Please respect copyright.PENANA0oj7miJtn1
The reveal to the [old] Galaxians of their ruler not being who they thought he was was the talk of the decade, at that point in time. Many political opponents would deem this unworthiness of the throne, but after nothing had changed in the Monarch Policy (the policy a monarchy holds) with said revelation, everybody just went on with their days not really caring. As of today, it is still a point of discussion of the people that are within Sol (Miss Marie Sue, Escalene, Flora Sephalis, Mr. Rosie Scribbleton, Mrs Rosalene, Mr. Owens, Commodore, etc.), but it rarely serves as point of conflict, as most have come to realise that it is how it is.
