This press message was released by the Government of the Republic of Telamon.
Inauguration speech of President Thomas Kettering, of the Radical Party:
" I would first like to congratulate my predecessor, Natalya Petrovskaya-Guillaume, for her progressive and crucial term as President. Recently, Telamon has been wracked with short-ending governments and votes of no confidence, yet President Petrovskaya-Guillaume held up in the face of adversity and unified a previously-splintered Parliament.
As President, my key priorities for Telamon are a policy of fiscal neutrality, Parliamentary co-operation and an emphasis on prosperity. President Petrovskaya-Guillaume's 'Fair Deal' did much to heal the social rifts in Telamon, but my term will be focussing on financial prowess and aspiration.
This country has a great potential, and with organised and efficient government, and careful de-regulation, it can meet that potential to no end. "Signed,
the Government of the Republic of Telamon
