Empress Yi Dasom Ri visit to Infiny and response to Japanese slander

Following the ball in Vashnal Empress Yi Dasom Ri and Empress Valeria I both departed for Mogadishu for a previously unannounced state visit. While their the both attended a joint press conference, following the end of the big tent parties in Infiny. Following this, the two held a private meeting in Empress Valeria's office, upon the media leaving the room the two held a lengthy conversation. After their meeting, Yi departed for the airport where she would travel back to Europe. This time Berlin, Eraus. For the Korea-Yankee Peace Summit. Before taking off, she responded to the government of the Nationalist asian states, who had said 'they are like the Koreans, they can’t countries let live in peace'. In response Empress Yi Dasom Ri stated the following "Peace would have been possible in Asia, but the Japanese Empire raped and destroyed anything that stood in their way. This idea of peace between our two nations was destroyed when the first Jap stepped foot on Korean soil."

OOC: The following is the private conversation between Empress Yi Dasom Ri and Empress Valeria I

Empress Yi Dasom Ri: Finally loosening up since the media left “Well first all the stuff you are doing with the political parties here, seems someone has big plans for her nation”

Empress Valeria I: "Haha, it seems like I can't hide anything from you. Not that I was trying either. What Infiny needs is a strong monarch to guide it, not some lame-duck democratic council. Don't you agree?"

Empress Yi Dasom Ri: “Thank you, I've been saying that all along in Korea. Got my people to listen, and look at Korea now” she gets up and walks over to Valerias side of the desk, before sitting on the desk. Still facing her “you know, consolidating your power will be the hardest part. Especially since you don’t have the devout following that the Korean monarchies has back home”

Empress Valeria I: Definitely correct. A state religion might be very beneficial to Infiny. I was thinking about preserving democracy, but within a monarchy. After all, part of being a strong country is being proud of your institutions. And Infiny has a very long parliamentary one.

Empress Yi Dasom Ri: “Issues of a democracy, and copying Korean religion wouldn’t work here. As your people already have one in place. You need good old fashion public support, enough to make you untouchable”

Empress Valeria I: Interesting. Always good to know where your limits are - you are probably the best adviser I could have. Family always comes first, doesn't it! Either way, the public has expressed an anti-demcoratic sentiment in their vote... Do you think I could use that?

Empress Yi Dasom Ri: “Of course you could use that, the more polarized and passionate you can get them. More will blindly follow every word you do. For the love of sanity, people think our family are descendants of Dangun (Korean god). Sooner or later I trust you can carry that over here. And our bloodline will rule for generations to come” she lays down on the desk “you know you could always insure military loyalty, and then you are golden”

Empress Valeria I: "That would be very interesting. I think I know how to proceed. Thank you for your help cousin, you, uh, sure are lying on my desk right now! But that's alright, it seems you look good doing whatever."
