Interlude The UN Speech:
You took a breath and focused on not only the words in your head and in front of you. But of the many numerous faces that were among this place. This hallowed place of diplomacy, of compromise. You would also call it a farce, but the Soviets had already done that back in the 50s when they left and almost immediately helped start a war in Korea. Good times, and you almost wished you were born back in the 30s to fight for whoever paid you the most. Probably the Russians, but you did not rule out the Americans.
However, despite all that, you were happy. You were happy, that in a moment, some people would listen. And others would denounce you. But you had a captive audience, the entire world.
Though you also knew for a fact that after your homeland had made a mockery of the United States Navy, despite the literal act of God that occurred on that aircraft carrier. You knew it scared the shit out of everyone, but it also prevented everyone from really caring about your little escapades in Africa. After all, with that shit happening, you wouldn't be surprised that they would think your homeland was hiding giant robots or some evil laser shit.
Eh, you didn't really pay attention, maybe they were just drunk when they made up their statement.
"Good morning everyone, it is an honor to be invited to speak to you today." You decided to speak English because at the moment, you were speaking to the West, and your Russian was terrible. "I'm sure most of you have heard of my ambitions for my nation, so I will not waste your time repeating myself."
There was silence, as everyone seemed to look at you, who stood before them. A Crazy woman who was deciding to play dictator. But at least you knew you weren't insane, and you were going to prove it. And also laugh in their face when they argue if you were lying or not. "Instead I will tell you what we have done since then. We have fed and housed our people, organized our mercenary corps into companies, and set up light industry so that we have something to offer our neighbors even in times of peace."
There was murmuring, before you rolled your eyes, and smiled as you face the delegations from Africa, your new compatriots, who may soon join you in this wonderful game of politics, and life. "This, sadly, is not such a time. Our neighbors have both ended up in three-way civil wars, and we have taken advantage of our relative stability to set up refugee camps for civilians displaced by the conflict."
You saw the Egyptian and Sudanese delegations stare bullets at you, and you shrugged them off like they were actually bullets from their nations, ineffective and poorly used. "If you doubt my claims feel free to send your people by for a tour. In fact, even if you do trust me we'd like to welcome a delegation to have a look around. I'll be the first to admit that refugee camps are not a specialty of mine, and your experience in such matters could stand to improve our operation for the people we're trying to help."
That declaration made the murmuring increase, as the Delegations from many neutral nations, and your new friend in Costa Rica, nod approvingly. The Irish delegation was very surprised that your statement was made.
But many of the Eastern nations, the Soviets, in particular, were unhappy with such proclamations, especially when it came from an upjumped mercenary.
Mostly because they had backed the wrong horse when trying to take over the region. "Still, I can't imagine we've done such a bad job that it warranted the attack on our Egyptian camp from the Egyptian government. Your people are there freely and are free to rejoin Egyptian society at any time they wish. I applaud the Sudanese government for not making the same mistake, despite sharing Egypt's misplaced misgivings. It is unfortunate that we were forced to engage in hostilities while trying to keep the peace, but we do not fuck around when it comes to the lives of our people, or those under our care."
If that man was armed, you were sure the Egyptian Delegate would have tried to shoot you. But again, you were sure he would miss because if their army was anything to go by, he would not know how to use his firearm properly. And attack an unarmed woman.
"And what of your nation's illegal actions within the State of Zimbabwe?" The General Secretary asked, interrupting you.
You frowned. "As to the matter of Rhodesia, I was in a difficult position. Both sides sought to create racist tiered societies, and my employers wanted me dead. Thankfully I was able to depose both dictators, and Zimbabwe-Rhodesia has elected Mr. Muzorewa as its first president. The Elections which might I add had been overseen by neutral overseers from Botswana and Kenya. They considered the elections, despite the chaos, to be legitimate."
"I doubt I will always have the freedom to follow my conscience in the middle of a warzone, but I will always try. It seems that many of the missions you engage in here have similar aims, and we would be pleased to work with the UN under such circumstances. For our fee of course, for we are not soldiers of the State, but free men who have found a home."
You paused and finally found the flourish to finish. "Of course, we are also available to hear the pleas of individual nations. As for my nation, I simply ask that you keep watching, as we demonstrate we are just as I have claimed."
"We are a nation outside of Heaven. That means that despite our pettiness, and our wish for-profit and coin, we are not wishing to destroy nations, or invade them, not without ever possible avenue taken to prevent it."
You ended with a smile. "Thank you all for your time. We're open for business."

You got your response immediately.
Well a few days later, over half the nations on earth, recognized you as a free and independent country.
You looked at the interesting fact and then smiled. "So… I have a question for you? How much is the UN willing to pay for my services?"
"A great deal." the secretary-general stated. "The Eyes of the world are upon you, even if your homeland refuses to take it."
"Well, tell the Ambassador I said hi, and tell his Gloriousleadnerless… that I am for hire, for a price of course."
