A special meeting was held at noon with all the presidents of the participating countries. In short the outcome is: everyone will participate in the show, using their own models.
They’ve moderated our demands, but no contract was signed. ‘Mr Bond’ must take back what he said to a number of delegates, it’s not his show, he only gets paid when a great show is performed.
At the time the federation is saved, but there are still underground smoldering fires…
Where’s a white flag when you need one? 
Happy to hear things have settled down but the vase is cracked. I hope those at the head of the federation will address this issue seriously later on and make sure there’s no more hard feelings anywhere. I also hope that you are fine in spite of all those heart wrecking emotions.
Take care and may the rest of your Roman adventure be enjoyable. Yes, I never thought those smiley would come in handy!
Hugs
Jon
