Under such circumstances, Diego delivered a public, broadcast speech that could be received throughout the Lapar territory and surrounding areas.
To let more people know what he was going to say and when, they notified everyone three days in advance.
On the afternoon of January 1st at 2 o'clock, Diego appeared outside the President's Mansion, and the high-powered radio stations began to operate.
"Citizens of Lapar, I am your President, Diego..."
He went on to mention a string of names, two of which Lance was unsure how to pronounce.
Local people said these were names from the local language system, which had no accurate translation in the common language.
By reporting his full name with local dialect pronunciation in such a setting, Diego was actually proclaiming his legitimacy and authority.
This is akin to ancient emperors who, if not in their castle but outside, would emphasize their surnames during negotiations—Royalty!
