Through a sudden series of events, namely the Los Cocos Ambassador's fear of the number 13, a strict protocol, three military coups, and a revolution, all successful in the same day, with many changes in governments, and ambassadors, Lopitos becomes the ambassador--just when a powerful international struggle is taking place and the Red and Green factions are vying to attract all the yet-undecided votes among the nations of the world, to convene soon in an international conference to decide who will govern the world. All of the nations have either lined up behind the "Green" banner, led by the money-oriented Dolaronia, or the "Red" ideology, whose figurehead is the prime minister of socialist Pepeslavia; except, of course, the recently appointed civil government of Los Cocos. With the votes divided 50-50 between the Red and Green factions, diplomacy, bribery, and personal corruption fall heavily on the shoulders of His Excellency Lopitos to gain his vote. His speech will be the last at the large assembly, after long tirades from adepts of both factions, and it is a speech to end all speeches.
