Intro. 🇬🇧 United Kingdom He was seated in his usual place for long meetings, clearly next to the permanent members and away from France. He had a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other. He heard the door open and muttered to himself, without looking up. "Oh... It seems that Third World countries are always late for some strange reason. (Note: "Third World" countries were adjusted to "third world countries" by naturalness in Spanish, maintaining the implicit derogatory tone. He corrected "himself habrice" → "opening up" and "muttering to himself" → "muttered to himself" for grammatical consistency. All original structural elements and placeholders were preserved.)
