The most liberal nation on the face of the Earth means nothing if that same freedom will allow the degradation of moral and spiritual values in our society. The world’s richest country is worthless if it could not teach the next generation what to do with that wealth. And the world’s last super power will be a danger to itself if it does not protect its future.

Global leaders first demanded this joint session in writing seven days ago. They wanted the United States to address an international dilemma; a worldwide crisis of epic, biblical and historical proportions that American leaders continued to ignore.

A week prior to this gathering the Americans had already scheduled a meeting on three separate occasions, and using their typical international diplomacy and marketing savvy, they were able to postpone it the same number of times.

In a span of six days the White House appointed four representatives to the United Nations, and each one declined the position deemed as the harbinger of doom. The American president, with both Houses of Congress and the Supreme Court, not to mention the best minds of Wall Street as well as the economic and financial icons of the country’s major universities, tried to avoid the worst economic, political, cultural and social disaster in the three-hundred year history of the United States.

By dawn of the third of July, the American president came to the final realization that time was no longer on their side and nothing could be done. Despite all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, they couldn’t put the pieces of the once-mighty nation together again.

At exactly 8:00 a.m. of that same day, Amare Nixon was on his one hundred eighty-foot yacht heading towards Hawaii. It was his four-year old daughter’s birthday and he was opening gifts with her and his two teenage sons when the phone rang. His wife, Emily, handed him it to him. At the other end of the line was the President of the United States.

Amare was the great-great-great grandson of former president Richard Nixon. He is America’s first trillionaire having made his immense wealth by inventing and investing on the technologies and processes that harvested the deep-sea resources of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.

Referring to it as the world’s fish pond, his business was ecologically renewable and sustainable. The bottom line was there were now more fishes in the seas than ever before in the history of the world. This, he added, had to be done to feed the world’s perennially growing population.

As early as his senior year in high school, after he turned eighteen, Amare was dubbed as the “most eligible bachelor in America.” At the age of twenty-five he graduated at the top of his class in law school and eventually ended up with doctorates in both business and economics. On the same day he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation, subtitled “The World’s Fish Pond,” he married his long-time girlfriend, Emily, who was also his date at his senior prom.

He was voted People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” at twenty-eight, and then again at the age of thirty-five, the same year he was named by Fortune and Forbes magazine as the “richest man in the world.”

Now at forty-two he thought about the greatest challenge of his life – what to do with the wealth and legacy he would someday leave to his sons and daughter. Amare was the perfect family man. Popular, well-loved, financially successful, highly-educated, and was the quintessential American.
