The birth of Kamasta

From it's desertic country side to it's vast inland forests, Kamasta is a strange country wich is inhabited by once nomadic tribes. It's geography ressembles North African countries. It's people too. Their bodies are tanned due to generations under the sun.

Around the year 800 AD, these tribes became sedimentary and began to work hand in hand. By 1000 AD, after successful doplomatic initiatives, these hundreds of tribes became one unified nation. However, conflicts soon broke out as to who should govern this newly formed country. Alliances were made and agreements were signed. War soon led the way as this peaceful land was turned into a slaughterhouse, neighbors killing neighbors, friends killing friends. This "civil war" last for more than three decades before a real change would happen.

In 1032 AD, a warrior named Abu Al-Kamasta rose to power among his father's army. That same year, his father died, leaving him at the head of a stong and powerful army. Al-Kamasta was an apt strategist but also a keen politician. He was able to win the allegiance of many small factions who he then took thier armies and incorporated them into his own, ever growing legions. By 1039 AD, he had won 9 victories on the field and had besieged sucessfuly 14 cities. He had lost only one battle. In 1041 AD, he defeated the combined armies of Muhammad Al-Katawoui and Abdallah Jazirra-Rastafa, two major leaders. They were both caught and beheaded.

Now, he had no more major ennemies and sought to reunify his countrymen. He devised a scheme to unite his people to a same cause without them knowing. He brided mercenaries to attack villages on the countryside. This was then used by Al-Kamasta has a threat by bordering countries. In a matter of two years, no more factions were waging war. They were all behind Al-Kamasta. With the civil wars finished, he still had to walk a dangerous road of sovereignty. With still many ennemies, he had to prove his people and army that he was a true leader.

In 1044 AD, with an army of 100,000, he invaded his neighboring country of Lamagypt and within a year, annexed it. He gained an even better reputation during this Lamagyptian campaign when he defeated an ennemy force of 40,000 with a small army of 10,000. Returning to his capital as a champion, he decided to crown himself Sultan of his lands in 1047 AD. The next week, he died of unknown causes. To honor him, his people changed his name to Kamasta ("al" meaning "son of") as they believed he had come out of his father's shadow. A new Sultan was named and this country finally received a name; Kamasta. For a full 1000 years, further Kamastian Sultans expanded their borders as their country was fully unified.

Now, in modern times, Kamasta is a nation that is still mistifying people with their strange customs and way of life. The curant Sultan, Ahmed Bukabar-Saladi is working at the improvement of his country and his people. He his open to the world and wishes to receive diplomats from all over the world.

Jasmine is there at the helipad, and she climbs into the helicopter. She smiles broadly as a Temme man loads her suitcases into the back of the helicopter.

The Excessively Free Land of Ganurath wishes to hold a diplomatic meeting with Kamasta. We must give fair warning, however: Our culture has often been considered somewhat extreme. We will be tolerant of your traditions, have no doubt, but we request that your representative(s) try to do likewise for our traditions.

After Jasmine is onboard, the helicopter leaves in direction of Kamasta. After a few hours of flying, it reaches an helipad in Damasca, on top of the Sultan's palace. Jasmine is shown into the throne room where the Sultan Ahmed Bukabar-Saladi is awaiting her.

OOC: What is proper ettiquette for meeting the Sultan?

OOC: It's usually to bow and show respect to his higness. However, it depends on the mood of the Sultan and his character wich I have yet to decide.... But usually, people who meet him bow and begin to tell what they have to say.

Jasmine bowed. She then said, "Your Highness, I am Jasmine Tutara, the diplomat from the nation of Temme."

"Ah yes, you were the first nation to approach us. I thank you for it. Your embassy is now fully operational to receive your offices. I believe that my ambassadors are also on their way to your country. By the way, did your president had in mind alliances between us or any other agreement? If so, could you tell them to me?"
Temme
15-08-2004, 00:30
"Well, Your Highness, if you wished, our Chief Public Servant would like to sign a cultural-exchange treaty, permitting each others' students to study freely in the others' country, and also allowing artists to work and athletes to train."
Kamasta
15-08-2004, 02:38
"Ah yes, education. It is the most important thing for a nation. I agree. Let us also sign a defensive alliance as well as technological agreements whereas we could exchange freely and without any cost military technologies. What do you think?"
Temme
15-08-2004, 03:01
"Your Highness, Temme has a policy where we do not get involved in war unless another country is directly invading us. As well, owing to this policy, our technologies are very limited. However, we would sign a treaty offering peacekeepers should you be invaded."
Kamasta
15-08-2004, 15:36
"yes, that is what I was talking about. Kamasta also has finished it's expansion. So, we agree to send regiments of peace keepers if one of us is attacked?"
Temme

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Excellent, now, would you like to look at my army? I've assembled it and are currently parading in the streets of our glorious capital."

The Sultan then showed the way to Jasmine to his grand balcony where, from there, they could view almost the whole of Damasca. Below, long lines of soldiers with tanks, military trucks, apcs ... where parading. As the balcony was somewhat high, though the people below could clearly see their leader, the Sultan gave binoculars to Jasmine so that she could see the soldiers.

Nearly 600,000 soldiers, the full army of the Sultan, was marching in front of them. Their tan colored helmets had a distinctive form, as it was a Stalhelm 2000, (highly upgraded version of the M1942). Their uniforms also were in the color of sand (tan). Their weapons were mostly AK-74s. The parade itself was flawless. Soldiers were goosestepping perfectly, their timing exquisite.

"So, what do you think?" asked the Sultan to Jasmine.

"Your Highness, I think it is a marvelous sight to behold."
