[center]República Dominicana[/center]

Fellow citizens of the Dominican Republic, I Pedro Santana come before you today not as a tyrant or a conqueror, but as a Great Emancipator. I struggled to for seventeen long years to wrangle the country away from the grasp of wicked men who only rob and maim. And today fellow citizens thanks to your Great Emancipator those villainous rapists of this virgin soil rest in shallow graves. The eyes of the world are upon us and they envy our collective successes; they mockingly call me the “Nero of the Caribbean” because they clearly are envious of my enlightened rule and need to result to childish jabs. It just goes to show that democracy is resulting in the degeneration of those forced to live under its shadow. 

However, despite the execution of our enemies on the homefront our work is from being done as it is crystal clear that our treacherous neighbor Haiti has been behind all this turmoil; they are akin to the parasitic vines that attempt to suck the life out of the mighty tree stealing the aforementioned tree’s well-earned sunlight. Those who once doubted my genius questioned why should the Dominican nation be reverted to a Spanish colony; it was obvious that those aforementioned men were Haitian spies and were promptly executed alongside their equally traitorous families. A true citizen knows that only Mother Spain can help stem this tide of Haitian refuse. 

 God favors me and thusly favors you my children.

- Pedro Santana, Great Emancipator, Liberator of the Nation, Governor-General of Santo Domingo, and President of the Dominican Republic
