Speech
I would like to thank Jehoshua for nominating me to be the first emperor of this great nation.
These are vital times for Brazil, future mortal generations will look back on this period and say "that was the birth of our nation" and turn to immortals like myself to tell them of these times. Shall my undying fellows tell your children's children's children how we strode boldly into a bright future led by wise and strong rulers or that the children of Rio were hobbled by poor leadership and beleagured by heathens, heretics and barbarians as the foundations of our traditions were allowed to crumble in the name of 'progress'?
The office of emperor is newly created and its first incumbent will create many of the traditions and customs that his successors will be expected to abide by, therefore it is essential that you vote wisely. For even more than the Imperial Reform Act, this vote will affect the character of our nation for generations to come.
If you elect me to be your emperor the most important tradition I will establish can best be summed up by the old proverb - "power is like fire, when kept small and controlled it is a great boon to all men, but when stoked to high it may be set loose and consume all the works of man leaving nothing but ash". I swear to the spirits that I shall endeavour never to use the powers of veto and dissolution, but if the good of the nation requires their use I shall apply them unhesitatingly. Furthermore I will note use the position of emperor to propose or promote a policy. If a government asks my advice on any matter it shall be given but it will only be the advice of a man, not that the binding order of an emperor. Wisdom and restraint shall be the watchwords of my reign should I be elected and they shall be the example I will set those who follow.
