| − | President of the Confederacy : Dr Humbert Humbert
| + | |
| − | This educated scholar with litterature capacities & a writer background has put his past in shade. Born in Provence with both vexinean and rheinish origins, it seems that he had such an ordinary childhood that no archives of any kind could mention about him. Graduated in litterature, able to speak between 12 and 18 languages (the exact number is unknown - as many other things about him), he began a diplomatic career, thought his lack of motivation provided him only with cultural charges all around Europe. However, it was the way he made an international network of friends & relatives, and it is said that this discreet character has worked for the MDK (ECE's secret services).
| + | |
| − | Eventually appointed ECE Ambassador in Erlangen-Ansbach, he worked there in silence, always vanishing behind the official statesmen such as former president Vandergraaf or minister Kate Bush. However, he has, here and everywhere else, a strong network of friends.
| + | |
| − | Surprizingly, this unknown character was appointed candidate to presidential elections for European Social-Democratic Party following the withdrawal of Mr Vandergraaf at the term of his charge. Dr Humbert agreed without hesitations anyway, and was elected with quite a large score. Since this day he acts as an iron hand in a velvet glove, still silent but more present than scheduled.

| + | |
| − | This vexinean diplomat is also part of the Vandergraaf network and was appointed chancellor after the legislative elections of 2002, when the newborn state decided to change his objectives as a mature nation. Promoter of the seafaring policy, he is extremely popular for being humoristic and highly educated in culture. His excellent french & english speaking made him popular even in ECE states that doesn't speak these languages. In the meantime, he is not well-known abroad.
| + | |
| − | The "most loved ECE politician" is to remain a long time in charge. Gathering the confidence of both his party and several opposition parties, he his the symbol of a stable union between states. His domestic politic, which is the main part of his charge, is always turned towards the whole ECE and never only one of the five member states : transportation network, consumer rights, education, etc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Minister of Foreign Affairs : Mrs Kate Bush
| + | |
| − | Thought this charge doesn't make her more important than any other ECE minister, Mrs Kate Bush has become so famous all around Europe that her interventions are always seen as golden words. She used to be the first Chancellor of ECE, until the changes of direction taken by former Pdt Vandergraaf lead her take only in charge the ministry of Foreign Affairs.
| + | |
| − | Since this day she has been the symbol of ECE all around the world, and highly popular even in ECE's unfriendly nations. Her campaigns, such as the great reconcilation with CI nations after the spying affair, made her a highly-skilled negociator and peace einforcer.

If a member of the trio is captured or KIA, the two others will welcome a new agent and act again as a trio.

| + | http://www.middelhuis.com/twente/RP/PSN-HST.png |
| | | | |
| − | The most important success of the MDK happenned when Europe was divided in a Cold War between democratic alliance EDF and communist alliance ComIntern : the MDK was able to introduce spies in the ComIntern (a fake-nation called "USS Amerindians") and had access to all the private debates of the CI in their private forum, and acted as influence agents sometimes. The spies were eventually captured after a betrayal from "friendly" intelligence services of the neutral alliance UAP.

| − | In the XIXth century, people coming from the whole world were looking for a shelter while dictatures and poverty were rising all over the world - inclunding in the nations that now composes Etat-Confédérés d'Europe. Many people entered Svalbard, which was an independent republic by these times. Svalbard government allowed poor people to enter if they were white and christian (the government was very conservative by these times) and if they aggreed to work in the fishing industry or minings. None of these immigrants was speaking the native language of Svalbard (norvegian bokmael), so they all used english as a common language to speak with each other and be understood by the Svalbardians. In the meantime, as their svalbardians chiefs were not really able to understand a good english-speaking, the immigrants spoke english in order not to be understood by them. Together, the poor immigrants, which were most of them not native english-speakers, succeeded in sharing their knowledge of english language and they transmitted this knowledge to their children, so that they also could speak a language that the rich Svalbardians will not be able to understand.
| + | '''Nationality''' |
| − | Today the community of the English-speaking Svalbardian is still represented, and a quarter of them do not speak any other language. They are 25 % population of Svalbard, and as Svalbard is not very large in population, it means that they are a very very few part of all the Confederal citizens.
