Monday. Judgment day. The day where the world trembled on the brink of what could be another full-scale war. The International Senate was basically more busy than usual with nerves and chattering skyrocketing in all leaders, advisors, and diplomats. All of the major empires and city-states have appeared in front of the Senate, as well as many spectators and journalists. Emotions run high during these troubling times, with the nuclear missile crisis across Germany and Japan, and the Indian war against the Zulu kingdom. Massive droves of delegates arrived mostly wearing formal black morning clothes, most of which were the German, Greek, and Japanese delegations. Prince Loud Kiddington enters from inside the senate halls and calls to the attention of the delegates. The delegates clammer into the senate halls with the press coming in full. The delegates continue to chatter and, in an act of controversy, one more figure enters the senate, a figure no one expected to enter the building. It was Regne Houshakuji, the foreign advisor for Empress Malty. The Senate was up in a quarrel, why now of all times did any Roman delegation appeared in front of the senate? Prince Loud calls the Senate to order.

"Fellow delegates. I have called this emergency meeting of the International Senate, for these are grave times we are facing. We must decide... we must decide on an emergency resolution to declare a coalition war against the aggressive Roman Empire and their allies. Thousands of people have been killed because of the recklessness of the Roman military, who have dropped two nuclear bombs as of yesterday. Right now, Rome has declared a surprise war against the Germans and the Japanese. The Indians have also declared war against the Zulu Pride Lands. With the threat of war looming over the continent of Eurasia and Africa, we will now take reasons for or against war, and perhaps given the surprise of the delegates here, they will have a chance to defend themselves". The first one of these leaders was King Simba of the Zulu Empire. A regal lion of orange and red fur. The lion is fuming at the ponies who are invading them. 

"I know I am not one of the major powers, but I must condemn the actions of the Pony's Republic and The Empire of Rome. My people are being slaughtered by the thousands as we only have swords and spears and they have rifles and bombers. I can not express both anger and disconcertment I feel right now". Chairpony Twilight Sparkle just sighs in disgust. The rest of the chamber is in uproar against the Ponies.

"We have our right to do so" exclaimed Foreign Minister Rarity. "I do not see how any nation with the most hideous and backward technology aim to continue to live on in this century".

"You were the same as us!" Exclaimed Simba. "You too had only spears and swords until you struck a deal with the Romans. Now you are obliterating the Pridelands with your machines, plus, you have broken numerous treaties we had as well as those upheld by this very senate. I warn this senate that if no proper action is taken against aggression, you shall hear from us no more".

"Well that's fine. No one wants to hear from you anyway". The delegates shout furiously at Minister Rarity's remarks. "And as for all of you, what gives you the right to say anything on the matter. Ethiopia, the Germans. The Incan Empire, the Americans. China! The damned Russians, Japanese, and English. You are all imperial aggressors. Raging wars against these nations back in the 18th century". Rarity left out the imperial colonies that Rome had apparently. "Do you think that if they had allied with nations who had access to stronger weapons? You can not be hypocritical of us when you all took part in this action. I do not think that this is very fair. Therefore, it is our decision that we withdraw from this capitalist, disorder-loving, globalizing, ass-kissing organization". The delegates again rage against the delegation of Ponies who began to stand up from their seats, before Prince Loud calls the Senate to order.

"Madame Rarity, Chairpony Twilight. I am afraid that is against the protocol of this organization. When you signed the treaty back in the 1990s, you are made a member for life and are not allowed to leave this organization.
