Imperial Visit to Haals

His Royal-Imperial Majesty, Vinther III of Darpar-Veld, made a lengthy trip to the Falleen Empire's youngest state, the Royal State of Haals, this afternoon in wake of the conclusion of the Federal Elections. The Emperor disembarked in the capital city of Örebro to much fanfare. He was warmly received by Federal Representative Dennis Faulconer. They shook hands, posed for the press, and then got in a motorcade headed for the Haalsian Assembly Building where the Emperor was eager to meet and thank the elected leaders for their hard work.
A large crowd was waiting behind police lines to see the Emperor's arrival at the legislative chamber. Upon arrival, the Emperor greeted State Chancellor Qasem Soleimani, and the three men stood out front of the Haalsian Assembly so that the Emperor could say a few words to his subjects who had gathered to see the historic visit - though there were more than a few hecklers and protestors towards the back of the gathering.

Thank you, citizens of Örebro, for the warm reception. I've come here today to thank your leaders for their successes - but I also know that the strong leadership is the reflection of a well-informed populace which is dedicating to making itself better every day than it was the day before. More than anyone else, I want to thank you, the people, for your determination. Thank you.
With that, the three entered the Haalsian Assembly where the Emperor offered to speak with each of the Assembly leaders. However, predictably, the Haalsian People's Party, Conservative Party of Haals, and Christian Democrats walked out in protest of the current position of Haals with the Falleen Empire, although for slightly different reasons. However this amounted to only about one-fourth of the Assembly, the rest remaining to take up the Emporer's offer. According to insiders, His Majesty had especially amicable talks with the leaders of the Conservative Loyalists and Social Democratic Unity Party, by far the two largest pro-Falleentium parties in the Assembly. 
As he departed at the end of his trip, thoughts about the increasingly questioned statuses of Veldunium, Hastiga, and Verzoonium hung heavy on Vinther's mind, as they often did these days with all of the constant independence talk. The Emperor hoped that his visit had in some way inspired the people of Haals to give the Empire a chance. The Falleen State Elections were only a few months away, and parties agitating for independence or decentralization were well-positioned to retain power in Hastiga, Veldunium, Verzoonium, and even Entloland; He hoped he had done enough to prevent another state from going down that path.
