**Anthem of Iris: "Forever Bloom"**
(Verse 1)
In the heart where dreams take flight,
Lies our land, so pure and bright,
From the mountains to the seas,
We stand united, strong and free.
(Chorus)
Iris, forever bloom,
In our hearts, dispel the gloom,
With strength and hope, we rise anew,
Under skies of gold and blue.
(Verse 2)
Through the trials, we've stood tall,
Hand in hand, we've faced them all,
In our unity, we find,
A bond unbreakable, hearts aligned.
(Chorus)
Iris, forever bloom,
In our hearts, dispel the gloom,
With strength and hope, we rise anew,
Under skies of gold and blue.
(Bridge)
Red for strength, and white for light,
Green for hope that shines so bright,
Orange for our optimism’s flame,
Blue for inspiration’s name.
(Chorus)
Iris, forever bloom,
In our hearts, dispel the gloom,
With strength and hope, we rise anew,
Under skies of gold and blue.
(Outro)
As one people, proud and free,
We sing our anthem, unity,
In Iris, our homeland true,
Forever bloom, we honor you.

King’s Speech"Welcome, esteemed members of the Executive Council and the House of Nobles. First Councilor Jackelliemolly, Lord President Jacob Montreux, congratulations to both of you on your appointments as First Councilor and Lord President. Your leadership is crucial as we embark on this new term. To my citizens of Iris, I stand before you with great pride and optimism for our future. This term, my government pledges to achieve the following: 1. We will host the G3 Summit on July 4th, bringing together our region with the Walbard Union and the Kodiak Republic. This summit will be a testament to our commitment to strong, international relations and mutual cooperation. 2. We will pass a budget and set up our economy, ensuring a stable and prosperous financial future for all citizens of Iris. Economic growth and stability are paramount to our continued success and welfare. 3. We will encourage role-playing activities within our community. These engagements not only provide entertainment but also foster creativity, camaraderie, and a deeper connection among our citizens. 4. We will strengthen our cities and develop them into bustling communities. Palm Springs, Cosgrove Mountains, and Chesapeake Bay will receive focused attention to ensure they thrive and serve as beacons of our region’s vitality. This term is 70 days long, and time will surely pass quickly. We must make every day count. Tonight, let us celebrate this special occasion, and tomorrow, be ready to work diligently towards these goals. I now yield the floor for this Address In Reply to our First Councilor and head of government, jackelliemolly. Let us move forward together, united and determined to make Iris shine brighter than ever." Thank you.

Fellow citizens of Iris,
Today marks a momentous occasion in the history of our beloved nation as we inaugurate the fifth government of Iris. It is with profound honor and a deep sense of responsibility that I stand before you as your First Councillor. Together, we embark on a new chapter, one that will be defined by unity, progress, and the unwavering commitment to the principles that have long guided our great nation.
In the past years, we have faced numerous challenges, each one testing our resolve and our spirit. Yet, through our collective effort and determination, we have emerged stronger, more resilient, and more united. As we move forward, it is imperative that we harness this strength and unity to build a future that is brighter and more prosperous for all.
Our government is committed to fostering an environment where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive. We will prioritize education, ensuring that our youth are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead and innovate. We will invest in our healthcare system, making certain that every individual has access to quality care. We will champion economic growth that is sustainable and inclusive, creating jobs and opportunities that benefit every corner of our nation.
Moreover, we will address the pressing issue of climate change with the urgency it demands. Our policies will reflect our dedication to preserving the natural beauty of Iris for future generations, promoting renewable energy, and implementing sustainable practices across all sectors.
Transparency and accountability will be the cornerstones of our administration. We will govern with integrity, always placing the interests of our citizens above all else. Our decisions will be guided by the values of fairness, justice, and equality.
But government alone cannot achieve the vision we have for Iris. It requires the active participation of every citizen. I call upon each of you to engage, to contribute, and to hold us accountable. Together, we can create a society where everyone has a voice and everyone can succeed.
As we embark on this journey, let us remember the words of our founding leader: "The strength of Iris lies in the hearts and minds of its people." It is in this spirit that we will work tirelessly to ensure that Iris remains a beacon of hope, progress, and prosperity.
Thank you for your trust, your support, and your dedication to our shared vision. Together, let us build a future that we can all be proud of.
Thank you.

The crowd applauds to the First Councilor’s speech. The King returns to the stage.
Thank you for your opening statement First Councilor. I’m going to do something that’s a first here for our team. I will open the floor to anyone who wishes to speak, wish the government good luck this term, or to ask a question for myself, the First Councilor, Lord President or anyone in the government.
