"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Felix suggested, "our colonial territories are continuously expanding. It is essential to establish a Colonial Department dedicated to managing colonial affairs."

Prime Minister Felix suggested, "Your Majesty, how about appointing Count József Jellacic as the Colonial Minister?"
