As the host and a ruler among the Powers, Arthur naturally received praise from numerous countries.
However, at this time, Arthur did not become conceited because of the flattery. To Arthur, verbal accolades were the least important, even lighter than a one Australian dollar bill.
Delegates who had the privilege to meet Arthur and engage in close communication were actually few and only included a handful of countries with good relations or the stronger Powers.
It's worth mentioning that among the Powers, the Island Nation might be the only one Arthur did not meet in person.
In the Australasian Government, Arthur's dislike for this country was no secret. Government officials tactfully intercepted the Island Nation's representatives, assigning a Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs from Australasia to make conversation with them.
