*Xeron switches on a microphone and speaks to the assembled crowd*
"Recently, various York groups have been claiming large amounts of territory in the name of York. However, the issue is that York has no real government to govern this territory by.
Many people believe Serious Sam to hold something akin to this position, unfortunately, however, if he were to become a dictator it might inhibit his ability to make accusations of tyranny and corruption in enemy leaders. The same problem would occur with virtually any of the various patriot groups involved in this.
Naturally, due to the reasonable number of PKers in York, a democratic government could easily meet with problems.
As such, as a Yorksman with similar interests to those of groups such as the Greater Shartak Unification Coalition, I, Xeron, will be taking on the burden of governing the township of York and most likely the various conquered areas. While dealing with the issues we face will be a daunting task, I will take up the challenge for the sake of my people.
As emperor of York, I will be forced to find ways to appease the angry conquered peoples of Wiksik and Creedy. Rest assured that I plan to find a solution which will satisfy the needs of both sides and will bring about peace and prosperity during my regime.
Now, before the leaders of the conquered peoples raise unconditional objections to my coming to office, I would like to propose engaging in negotiations over the fate of these areas, and I hope to be able to do so as civilly and as peaceably as possible. Please, do not make assumptions about how little I am willing to compromise.
I would also hope to be able to engage with similar talks with those who would not wish me to compromise, those who wish to see the island united under the flag of York no matter what the cost and no matter what the violence. I would hope to address them as one Yorker to another.
In any case, rest assured that I do not intend to plunge the island into anarchy and darkness as some may believe: I will make certain that my regime is a time of peace and prosperity that will be remembered for years to come, and that people all across the island will look at us and be envious of our stability and strength.
*The crowd bursts into a riot of applause as Xeron waves*
...Or else.I will now be accepting questions from the press. Please be civil.
Anyone who cannot hold their tongue will have it cut out of them.
