Since that meeting, things haven't improved that much. Due to several mistakes made by local government officials, nothing was done to accept any trade agreements or improve relations with other nations. Queen Mariana Varejão-Medellin issued new government officials to replace the "old, lazy officials." It came to be known as "Batigefaléan Laziness" to the country. After clearing up the mess, she talked about the economy to the people in the coastal city of Bonete. Even known the economy stayed the same for two years, she ensured the masses that it was only "temporary until better research is done." Most of the people were still generally confused by the Queen's decision to do nothing about the economy. Rogelio Alvizo, the Minister of Interior, defended the Queen's plan on the economy and said to the public in Millares, "Our country has been in wars and a civil war, we can handle another year of economic decline." Their words led to several small protests in the capital city for five weeks. During that time, the Second Takervian Uprising and Squall's End Riot happened in the matter of weeks. The Queen didn't want to give out any statements on the matters and left international news alone. Until the uprising got more interesting as Deli Husrev Pasha was captured and taken as a prisoner of the rebellion. The Queen, once again, didn't want to be trapped into one side until a clear winner presents itself. Things stayed quiet for the two years as the country slowly rebuilt itself once again. They requested trade agreements to Azrekan Kingdom and Gilbradia again and waited for their agreements to be approved. This trade agreement was made to Gilbradia again as soon as the "Batigefaléan Laziness" ended, hoping that will in some way influence the return of the Ávila family. The government waited for the right moment to demand the return, not pushing too early or too late. They wanted the remaining Ávila royalty to face punishment, even the children weren't saved. The idea of their punishment was public humiliation and then a public hanging. Afterwards, the Varejão-Medellin families will host a public celebration to proclaim the change in the country. Of course, no-one knew about the plan at all besides the families and high ranking officials. They didn't want the Gilbradin government to turn them down because of the plans. Only time could tell if the government got their request.
