Marcus Orlando is less than thrilled to be forced to be a part of a diplomatic mission to the Eastern European nation of Gjidar, a country where Orlando had spent a good deal of time before becoming a Department Y. He will find considerable unrest there as the fight over whether to keep the monarchy - with a now-empty throne - or bring in a different form of government. Orlando will find a particularly personal involvement.
