BROADCAST TO MEMBERS OF ATLANTICA AND GREATER PRUSSIA
I am calling for all members of regional government in both regions to meet in Kremlin Palace to discuss the newly formed alliance. If you wish, transportation can be provided, and there will be food and board provided by the Kremlin.

The meeting can either be formal or casual. A vote will be taken upon arrival.

Annuit Coeptis.

God Bless,
Czar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov III
Holy Monarch of the Protestant Prussian Czardom of Derscon
Arch-Chancellor of Greater Prussia
==============================
OOC: Okay, most, if not all, members of both regional governments should be present. Other nations may attend if they wish -- I did not send the formal invite for obvious reasons. Basically, the invite extends to:

ATLANTICA
Singular
Corneliu
Formal Dances

GREATER PRUSSIA
Reichskamphen
Cav
Jedi Revolutionists
Sude Reich

Emperor Cav will be in attendance, as well as Holy Minister Gregory Cardinal Clarke

OOC: Derscon, could you handle this for a little? I'm tied down a bit. I'll get there later, though.

Emperor Draviski will be in attendance.

Leo Savoy The Prime Singular is pleased to attend this meeting and look forward getting to know our new friends in GREATER PRUSSIA better.

Leo Savoy (The Singular)
Prime Minister of Atlantica

Carpe Diem

Don't bother posting that you accept, just post your arrival. You know, the plane ride, landing at the Rekjyavich Andropov Military City (the capitol) Airport (read as: Imperial Luftewaffe Airbase), and exiting the plane. There will be a motorcade consisting of:

>One M1A1 Abrams (remember, this capitol city is a military base)

>Four HUM-VEES with machine guns on three and an antitank gun on the other

>Three Black Cadellac(sp?) Escalades -- armored.

>one Apache gunship

> *secret* number of snipers in specific locations you do not need to know about (don't worry, no assassinations are going to occur -- the Czar is paranoid a bit, that's all)

Just RP landing, exiting the plane, and walking to the person waiting for you. I'll drive. ;)
================================
More OOC
There will be a raffle upon entrance to the Kremlin to win a special surprise. :D

What could it be???? :confused: :confused: :eek: :cool:

Samuel von Deutchreich will attend along with Pluskat von Rhundsteht Chief of Staff of Sudean military.

Empeor Draviski stepped out of the plane, onto the stairs. Below awaited his motorcade; In the center, three Cadillac Escalades, surrounded by several HummVees, and a tank. Down the runway, an attack helicopter was sitting, waiting for takeoff. Draviski nodded in approval.

"Come, Oleg."

Draviski walked down the stairway, dressed in a rich blue uniform, ceremonial sabre at his side.(http://www.khm.at/khm/data/page522/image1.x300.jpg) Behind came Imperial Minister of War Oleg Petrov, outfitted in a dark suit and tie. Several aides followed.

A man waited next to the cars.

"Hello. I am Emperor Draviski, of Kaspar. We operate the Greater Prussian News Service."

A Legio Dei Soldier bowed and saluted, and led them to the motorcade. The motorcade drove fast down the road, and in five minutes, approached the Gates of Kremlin Palace."

OOC: Have to cut it short -- must leave the internet. SOrry.

Leo Savoy steps out of the plane (its clear day he can see out to the coast)looks around sees
M1A1 Abrams
Four HUM-VEES
Three Cadillac Escalades

and in the distance one Apache gunship "They have really prepaired for this".
Leo Savoy thinks to himself finally things can get started we can get down
to bussiness(sp?) I am looking forward to this, he heads down the steps and sees a person signaling him towards the motorcade he acknoleges and walks towards it.

A Legio Dei walked up to Savoy and escorted him to the motorcade. He got Savoy in the car and the motorcade went off. The guard did not say a word, and the atmosphere was a little tense, but that was just how the Legio Dei was.

When the motorcade arrived at the gates of the Kremlin, the motorcade for the Kasparian delegate could be seen. Eventually, the Praeselli Dei soldiers opened the gates and let them in. The two motorcades drove up to their spot, and the doors of the cadallac's the delegates were in were opened by a few Knights Templar. Some Inquisition soldiers could be seen wandering around on the Palace grounds. The two Praeselli Dei led Savoy and Draviski up to the huge diamond doors of the Kremlin. (They are two-inch thick diamond doors, with a one-inch sheet of titanium-concrete alloy in the middle, so it is diamond-concrete-diamond, a total of five inches thick) THe gigantic doors took about three minutes to open, and the two people were led into the massive Grand Hall of the Czar. Above the door, a massive three story tall cross was hanging, and the Prussian Eagle was directly opposite. The flag of Derscon was on the left, with the flag of Reichskamphen on the right. A one story-large chandellier was hanging in the center, made of diamond and glass, and four smaller ones were around it. Pictures of past (and the current) Czar, and pictures of the Emperors of Greater Prussia were around the walls of the Grand Hall. The Leipzig-Thompson coat of arms was at the east, with the Rekyavich Andropov coat of arms at the west. Gold, Silver, and Bronze lined the entire hall. In the center of the Grand Hall, on the floor, laid a pentagon with the Rekjyavich Andropov coat of arms. Franz von Papen walked through the doors and appeared on the second-story balcony overlooking the Grand Hall.

"Ah, nice of you to come." THe Foreign Minister walked down the marble steps to greet them. "I am Count Franz von Papen, the Foreign Minister to the Czar. Unfortunately, the Czar is tied up for the moment, but he will be here when the meeting starts. Now, the Czar wished me to ask you -- would you like a formal or informal discussion? Your choice will depend on the room we hold the talks in."

ooc- you said other nations can attend so as a member of Greater Prussia, the Cardinal will attend
ic- The Cardinal stepped of the aircraft. It was a bright sunny day. He was wearing black pants, a black clerical shirt with a Roman collar. It was trimmed with crimson. He then ducked into a limosine and was whisked off to the Kremlin. The guards let him in. He then exited the car and entered the kremlin. In the car, he left his team of 5 body guards. He didn't think he would need them. He walked down the hall and was told by a guard to have a seat.

OOC: There are no seats in the Grand Hall. And RP your thoughts about the design of the Hall -- I want some opinion. :)

ooc- then he standed and waited
ic- The Cardinal mused at the grand hall. He loved the chandelier. He loved the gold,silver, and bronze. He wasn't amazed at the flags themselves, because they were just flags but he wondered at the size of them. Then he saw it, his favorite thing in the hall...the giant cross. It was spectacular.
A guard walked past. "Hey You, when will I be called in"
"I don't know sir"
"Sorry for yelling at you, you wouldnt know how long it takes"
The Cardinal then pulled a rosary out of his pocket. He started to pray it.

OOC: Yay! You liked it!

Please pretend that Count Franz von Papen asks you the question upon arrival and after your amazement of the palace. ;)

That goes for everyone.

The Imperial Prince, Rev. Kyle Paisley walked into the hall. He saw the Cardinal with his rosary. "Papists..." he thought to himself. He threw a bright smile on his face and approached the Cardinal. "Good Day sir!" he shook hands with the Cardinal and smiled brightly. "I trust this day finds you well." Looking up at the giant cross he noted, "At least they don't have a graven Image on the Cross."

"Where are the Atlanticans?" he wondered aloud.

"How is your father?" von Papen enquired.

"He's wonderful, thankyou."

"Hello reverand Paisley. is your fatehr well?"
"he is wonderful'
"I saw the look on your face whenyou saw my rosary you were probably thinking to yourself that I was a papist"
*puts away rosary*

"I er um"
"Its alright, I see the look on every protestant leaders face I meet when he sees the rosary."

"Why do you think its a shame that the Lord isnt on the cross, thats the only thing I dont like. It reminds us of Christs sacrifice he made"

"I disagree" said rev. Paisley.

OOC: Does this guy read minds? If not, you may want to kinna...not read his mind. I will go on the assumption that he does.

IC: "I am of the position," Paisley responded calmly, "that the second commandmant (OOC: Catholics don't have the same second commandment as protestants, they threw the second in with the first.) forbids images of God. Not just idols...but all images. One should not bow before them or venerate them. One can say that Christ came in a form that we can understand him in. True, he did do so. But the commandmant says that we should not make any images of anything in the heavens above...and did not Christ corporeally ascend into Heaven?"

"In any case. I am delighted you have joined the Empire, and there will be plenty of time for discussion later. For now, we have more pressing business at hand."

ooc-no he doesn't BUT he knows that look on the face. He has seen it many times. LOL
ic- I will debate you later reverand, but for now, we do have more pressing issues. I will debate you later, and I will win"
They both grinned
"When will this show hit the road" the Cardinal asked Rev. Paisley

Emperor Cav's plane requested clearance and was granted it to land on the runway set up for the dignitaries' arrivals. His flight over was uneventful-- reading briefings, getting information on the latest football scores, talking with Cardinal Clarke about what to expect in the Kremlin. The Emperor didn't know what to expect when he got to the meeting, so he brought two sets of wardrobes; formal and casual.

Hopefully we'll go the casual route, he thought. Cav, although he wore his official garments a lot, preferred to wear even a jacket and tie over his ceremonial clothes.

The plane slowed to a halt by the awaiting vehicles. The door opened and the stairs extended downward. Cav knew that his host would provide the utmost security, which is why there were only two dark-suited men who stepped off in front of him. He stepped down, followed by Cardinal Clarke, and they walked to meet the appropriate dignitary that awaited them.

*cell phone rings*
"Cardinal, you may be intrested in knowing this, but Cardinal Clarke is here from CAv along with his Emperor. They just got off there plane." came a voice over the cell phone(bodyguard)
"I can't wait to meet Cardinal Clarke. I have anticipated this day."
he shut the phone and waited for the Cardinal to come.

OOC: Where is the Atlanticans???? Cav, you are allowed to RP the motorcade and the guards taking you to the kremlin.

IC: Count Franz von Papen looked over the crowd. "Where are the Atlanticans?" He shrugged and addressed all present delegates. "Now, we will have a vote, and votes will be counted as people arrive. Please vote for a formal setting for the talks or an informal one. Whichever one is fine with me, and both will suit the Czar just fine. Just say what you want." He took out a pen and a notepad to tally the votes. He marked one down for the Czar and himself, both under the "informal" category.

OOC:

TALLY SO FAR:

Formal: Zero (0)

Informal: Two (3)

"I vote for informal" said the Cardinal "I do not feel like changing into more formal wear.
ooc- i have to go for tonight

One of the bodyguards opened the door for The Emperor and the cardinal, then stepped in after them. The other guard sat in the front seat, next to the driver.

"I always liked the Escalade," Cav remarked. His guards used it for their transportation, but he always rode in the car. Whether it was for a limo or an armored luxury sedan, Cav overlooked the SUV and instead opted for even more decadence.

The motorcade rode through the empty streets. With tight security, Cav understood why there was nobody on the roads, and assumed that the citizens of the country probably had something better to do than stare at a foreign leader as he drove down the street.

It's certainly not a parade he thought to himself, hearing the Apache fly overhead.

The cars stopped. They were at the gates of the Kremlin, opening to let the motorcade through. The cars pulled up to the entrance where the men there opened the doors for their guests. The guard in the passenger seat stepped out and waited for his partner. They looked around and helped The Emperor out of the SUV.

They had plenty of time to admire the entrance. Slowly the monstrous yet beautiful doors opened up and allowed them to enter the Grand Hall. They looked around, taking in all of the imagery. It was something spectacular, one of those "one per nation" buildings that were ornately designed to impress their guests.

And impressed they were. Cav and Cardinal Clarke moved forward, the guards falling behind, as they were led into the building.

Draviski looked in awe at the Hall. Though he had seen many elegant palaces and places of government, Draviski still always admired architecutre and furnishings.

"I suppose there is no need for needless opposition. I will opt for an informal meeting."

"Indeed," concurred Paisley, "There is no need for anything needless." he smiled a bit. "Informal will be just fine."

two figures, seven foot 3" the other 8' and a half, marched through long dark winding corridors, they walked for a few minute untill they came to a hanger bay.

one was clothed in robes of black and gold, the other armoured in crimson and jet black, helmet in his left arm.

they strided side by side to the transport, the front ramp lowered as they neared and a rhino rolled forward, the right side hatch lowered and both entered the rhino.

the rhino then headed up into the transport ahead of a damolces and a second rhino. inside the vehicles were locked down and the flight to the surface began.

The Cardinal jumped upon seeing Emperor Cav and Cardinal Clarke.
"Hello Emperor" he said to the emperor.
He wasn't intrested in talking to the Enperor.
"Hello Cardinal Clarke, I anticipated meeting you" "I am Cardinal dEVito, archbishop of Cherry Ridge, and the Ruler of Cherry Ridge and all her holdings."

"Nice to meet you, I am Cardinal Clarke"

The Imperial Prince looked on as the two Cardinals converse. "I never thought I'd see the day..." he lamented in his mind, face emotionless. "Nevertheless, there is something to be said for freedom...and tolerance."

He looked upon two of the pictures on the wall. One was a picture of Emperor Viktor Leipzig with full 18th Century Crown Jewels and Coronation robes. It was painted in a Baroque style...he would have liked it. The other was a picture of his father, the current Emperor, merely in a suit and tie, holding a copy of the Westminster Larger Catechism to his chest with his left hand and a King James Bible in the other. "My...the times they are a changing." he glanced over at the Cardinals still talking. He tried to listen to what they were saying...but his ears refused...all he saw was moving lips. He felt a deep sinking feeling in his chest. Staring into the eyes of his father on the painting, if he could have fallen to his knees and cried out to heaven, he would have. He would have cried out, "Father! What have you done!? Oh God, save our Empire, give my father the strength to see how he has compromised with darkness!"

He remembered in one of his father's most famous sermons he had said, "If ever this heart of mine should want to compromise, put me in the ground, throw me in a box, take me out of this world! If ever Ian Paisley should compromise, I want to be through with this life!"

"Does he remember?" Kyle sighed, this time aloud, but softly as he continued to look into the glaring eyes of his larger-than-life Father.

"Is everything ok?" Cardinal Devito placed his hand on Kyle's shoulder and looked into his face, noticing the beginnings of a tear in the right corner of his eye.

"Yes." he unassumingly slid away from the cardinal's touch. "Everything is well. I think I ran into something I'm allergic to." he feigned a sneeze. "I need to use the bathroom." he made his way hastily towards the bathrooms and away from the prying eyes of the other delegates.

The Cardinal looked worried. He was worried about Ian paisley. He followed him into the bathroom. He was crying.
"No need to cry, you can tell me what is bothering you." said the Cardinal softly said to the visable younger Paisley.

Count Franz von Papen knew why Kyle Paisley was running off. I hope he doesn't get lost. He turned to the other delegates. "Well, it seems there is an overwhelming choice for informal, but the Atlanticans have not arrived yet. Not very punctual, are they." He turned up to the guard on the third story balcony. He waved to him and the guard disappeared.

Paisley refused to answer the Cardinal.
"Ok Kyle, I am leaving now. If you need to talk, I will listen. I don't know what is the matter but I will find out."
he left the bathroom. He went up to the Count.

"Why did he run off. He didn't answer when I asked him what was wrong. Do you know why? I never did anything against him" asked the Cardinal.

Paisley refused to answer the Cardinal.
"Ok Kyle, I am leaving now. If you need to talk, I will listen. I don't know what is the matter but I will find out."
he left the bathroom. He went up to the Count.

"Why did he run off. He didn't answer when I asked him what was wrong. Do you know why? I never did anything against him" asked the Cardinal.

"He has an allergy problem," Papen told the cardinal. "He is allergic to the plants over there in the corner," he said, motioning to the odd twisting shapes in the "corner" of the perfectly circular room.

"I don't think your telling me the whole truth" said the Cardinal
He went back into the bathroom

"OK Paisley, what is the matter. I know it isn't allergies. If it is you know that you can get some. NOW TELL ME. What is it. You dont like me? You don't like Catholics?I'm sick of people giving me the half truth. I always find out though. answer me boy!" the Cardinal said roughly

Paisley's eyes grew intense, he didnt take kindly to being called "boy" or having accusations leveled at him. But then he became calm again. He turned around slowly to face DeVito. "I have always liked Catholics. The individual Church goers have no responsibility for the doctrines that Rome propagates. I am merely upset about my father. He is ill with Cancer...and I think it is affecting his thinking and reasoning...and this is between you and I. He has not released this information to the public. I trust you to keep confidentiality." He patted the Cardinal on the back and smiled as he walked out of the Bathroom to await the Atlanticans.

The Cardinal conversed with DeVito for a few minutes before the situation began. Emperor Cav had gone off and spoken with some of the other national leaders while Clarke watched as the scene unfolded.

He could sense that the mood in the air was hostile, but he had no idea what was going on besides that. He looked up at the ceiling and grabbed onto the Crucifix hanging from his neck. "Forgive them, Father," he said, saying a prayer for the two men and their respective nations.

The Cardinal felt terrible. He left the bathroom. He went up to Paisley. He slipped a note into his hand. It read"
"Please Accept my dearest and humble apoligies. I feel terrible.And I promise.
-Cardinal DeVito"
It was stained with the Cardinals own tears.

Cardinal deVito ran up to Cardinal Clarke.
"Cardinal, please my confessor is in Cherry Ridge. I need a confession"
Cardinal Clarke gave abosolution to Cardinal DeVito.

"Where are the atlanticans" said the Cardinal outloud"

OOC: Sorry I thought I would be available yesterday
:headbang:

IC:

Leo looked around and started to take the setting of the Grand Hall,
the three story tall cross, Prussian Eagle, chandelier and the pictures all in all very stunning. Just as Leo was going to start a conversion with Count Franz von Papen & Draviski someone tapped Leo Savoy on the shoulder and a female voice said "Excuse me Savvy" Leo Savoy recognised the woman’s voice her turned around to face her it was Natasha Vial the head of Greater Prussia’s Diplomatic Corps, How does she keep managing to look younger every time I see her? Savoy thought to himself, there she was as radiant as ever. (Six feet tall red hair that goes down to her mid back, dark brown eyes and legs that went on into next week.) “Sorry gentlemen to take Prime Minister Savoy from you but this is urgent” before anyone else respond Natasha grabs Leo by his arm and leads him out the room at a very brisk pace.

As soon as they are out of the line of sight of the Grand Hall Leo whispers “Well Vi what do I owe the interruption to?” Natasha pulls a hand written note out of pocket and hands the note to Leo, he starts to read it by the handwriting he automatically knows it is from Basil Fox the Minister of Domestic Affairs, Leo’s eyes fall upon the words Sontaran Extremists Attack. Have you read this note Vi? “yes” she replies “ I know you want to go home but by the time you got home and came back the meeting would be over Savvy. All the Video Conferencing suites are in use except the two in my office, however most of the elevators decided to break down today we will have to take the stairs” said Natasha “Crap” replied Leo. Vial & Savoy ran all the way up to the third floor and go into her office.

OOC: Erm, OK...so what do WE do? Are people there to address us? What is going on?

we are waiting for his most effecientcy, derscon

lol

Within a few minutes Leo was talking to Basil Fox “How bad is it old friend” said Leo “The Sontaran‘s have hit three targets 1.Stornaway district 2.Ruby Towers and the worst of all 3. A Paediatrics hospital” said Basil. As Basil informed Savoy of the third target Leo Savoy slammed his fist against the wall of the videoconferencing suite, they have never stooped this low before he thought to himself.


“Unbelievable Basil the Sontaran‘s have always avoided making children targets!” said Leo. “Yes it’s their new leader Chandra Phoenix also the total dead from all three sites is 3000” said Basil “Can you get me anyone from the military Basil
so I can find out what’s been going on with their efforts to gather up those responsible for this attack” said Leo Vi put her hand on his shoulder “Your going to declare Marshal Law are you not?” Said Natasha

impatientce =


IC:

the party arrived at the hall, the two men stepped forward while the other members of the delegation waited at the entrance,


the taller of the two held a black and very ornate baton in his left hand, while the other began talking with papen about when he expected the atlantica delegation.

ooc- Im getting impatient so the Cardinal is going hom. i can't have him gone with nothing going on so im sending Father Antonio Antonette, a priest.
*Cardinal boards plane and goes back to CR. Father Antonnette arrives in the great Hall*

OOC: Me too. I'm getting a little impatient.

IC: The Imperial Prince, noticing the departure of the Cardinal decided, "He has the right idea." He turned to his companion, Duc Frederic de Centreville and asked him to remain to meet with the Atlanticans should they decide to show up. He had pressing matters to attend to in the palace.

OOC: Sorry for the long Absence! School is being a pain in the ass and didn't leave much time for me to do this!

As soon as I read through all pages, I'll post something meaningful!

IC:

From the President's Office:

To all concern,

President Rice has accepted to attend. Sorry for the long time in response but we have had some domestic trouble that has settled out. If anyone has any questions, please tell us.

Tina Jones
Secretary to the President

OOC2: I'll post the Presidential Arrival tomorrow when I get home from School!

President Server looked out the window of his shuttle.

"Well this is it." He stated as he strapped in for the final decent. Traveling with the President is his trusted aide as well as the Millersville.

"Agreed Mr. President. I'm looking forward to see His Majesty again."

"I wish I can say the samething"

The shuttle descended into the atmosphere. When they inserted, the pilot got on the radio:

"This is Millersville Shuttle Alpha! We are requesting landing clearence"

Father Antonette went over to Centreville," Guess its just us now with out our lead council now"

OOC: I will try to post later today Before 6:00 PM eastern

@ FD & Corneliu Glad you could make it

“Yes I am going to declare Marshall Law, what choice do I have Vi” said Leo. Just then Jacob Wolfe head of the military came on to the video line “Hello Leo your wondering when all this happened. Well the Sontarans timed this attack to happen just after you left” said Jacob “One of the first things I had done after the strike was to lockdown search all the Airports & Seaports for 2 ½ hours to make sure no Sontaran agents had managed to get into there areas”

Centreville leaned over to the Priest and whispered back, "Yep, looks like it. Don't you love being on the second string team?" he chuckled a bit.

He looked at his watch. "Where are those damn Atlanticans!? If they wait much longer, Paisley will switch me out for the Janitor." he again laughed, but this time a little nervously...because knowing Paisley he just might.

The 29 year old priest was getting bored. "Where are those atlanticans and when is this goiing to start" the priest said to Centreville.

"Personally," Centreville smirked, "I would expect the Second Coming of Christ first."

"I'm never coming to an atlantican meeting again."he laughed "But seriously, this is getting ridiculous. They shouldn't have done this."he said to Centreville

OOC: Did Derscon forget about this thread or what? I guess I'll just post my landing!

IC: The shuttle settled down on its proper landing grid and the President and his entourage emerged. After the arrival ceremony, They went to the limo and made their way to the site holding the ceremony.

When they got, President Server nodded in approval. "Just like how I remember it." He muttered to himself as he entered the building.

He looked around at all the guests and put on his best diplomatic smile and began to meet the people.

OOC2: I'm in Atlantica and believe it or not, School and Work come before Nationstates.

Regent Count Richard I said to his assistant "I'm sending to conference about Atlantica and Greater Prussia regional relations. I'm too busy to fuss with such matters". The assistant looked perplexed "Atlantica? We have no dealings with those nations.". The count said "Just go and pretend to look interested. Something interesting might arise, but I'm sure it will be interesting as a Billy Graham lecture on homosexual sex.". The assistant signed and left to fly to get packed for his flight.

OOC: You only need to post coming through the door. I also do not like the non-responsiveness of the Atlanticans. That is NOT a good first impression.

And having a life is not an excuse, Corneliu! :p

I did not respond because no one else was.
=====================
IC
===

Franz von Papen looked angry. He walked up to Centreville and Father Antonette. "Lord, what is wrong with the Atlanticans? Oh well, I'll start the meeting and late arrivals will be dealt with accordingly." He walked over to the doors and started to speak in a loud, booming voice.

"Okay! Delegates that happen to actualy BE here! Please follow me into the informal council room!" He smiled as he said that and led the delegates to the far side of the room. He opened the huge doors and led them into an anteroom. Two large gold (plated, with steel, insulation, and sound-proof stuff in the middle) doors, inscribed with the Rekjyavich Andropov coat of arms, were opened and they walked into the Grand Lounge. About half the size of a football field, it had a bar, a soda fountain, two seventy-inch plasma screen televisions at each end, a 127 book library, a pool table, a roulette table, a poker table, and a blackjack tabe. Huge windows overlooked the largest lake in Derscon, about 100 feet down over a cliff. Near the front of the room, there were five large, 4-person couches, each facing in on each other in the shape of a pentagon. At the vertecies there was an end table with a lamp. There were recliners near by, and a closet near a bookshelf. Three massive chandelliers lit the room with a pure, white light. Papen pressed a button and the closet opened up, and then the doors opened and a guard came in.

"Yessir?" the guard said to Papen.

"Please lead late arrivals into the lounge."

"Yessir." The guard then left for the Grand Hall. Papen grabbed a Hot Chocolate from the non-alcoholic section of the bar and turned to the delegates. "PLease, hang up your coats in the closet and sit down at one of the couches." He then did as he said and called on his cell phone.

Papen: John, most of them are here. Server is here, too.

Czar: Wonderful! And what made you call me by my English translation?

Papen: Boredom.

Czar: Ha! okay, I'll be right down. Five minutes later, Czar Rekyavich Ivan Andropov III, Czar of Derscon, entered the room. Standing at about five foot, eleven inches, he wasn't the tallest man in the room, but he was still fairly high up. large and muscular, being an ex-Special Forces soldier, he came in with informal dress. He scanned the delegates in the room when he spotted President Server. I'll have to talk with him later.

"I'm glad you all could come. Unfortunately, we have some late arrivals yet to come, but we shall start anyways. Please, make yourself at home, but I ask you not to have any alcoholic bevrages until AFTER the talks. I'm sure you can understand the reasons for that," Ivan (John) said with a grin. He stood by a couch and waited until everyone else sat down.

President Server waited till his host was done before speaking!

"People, I am President Server of Corneliu, On Behalf of Corneliu, I would like to thank our gracious hosts for this celebration of our alliance. I have been notified by the Chief Foreign Affairs of Atlantica that she will be arriving shortly. Thanks for your time."

thratus (the shorter one) sat on one of the couches with a warm beverage in-hand while the other stood behind him, he thought it would be un-fair to sit on the couche.

thratus looked around and noticed one of the delegates was missing.

"has anyone seen our counterpart from the singular?"

John looked at Server. "Thank you for coming. I look forward to speaking with you again." He then turned to Thratus. "No, I have not. He might not have realized we all left," he said, with a sly grin. He turned to a Praesillei Dei in the room. "Could you please go out and bring the Singular delegates in here?" The guard left the room and John turned back to the delegation. Realizing no one was sitting down, he figured he'd lead by example. He sat down, and looked at Server and Centreville and motioned for them to sit down also.

Emperor Cav took off his coat and gave it to one of the attendants to hang up. He got two cups of coffee from the bar and handed one to Clarke. Clarke thanked him and they made their ways over to one of the empty couches. There was some bad blood between Cav and Corneilu, something far in the past, but the countries hadn't had any relations since then. The Emperor could not even remember what had gotten them in that situation, but now they were together in a conference, and Cav wasn't going to bring anything up if the others didn't.

The two men took their seats as the czar motioned to to the others to take theirs.

"What a great place you have here," Cav remarked. "Hopefully later we can partake of the leisure activities you've set up."

"What a great place you have here," Cav remarked. "Hopefully later we can partake of the leisure activities you've set up."

"Thank you," the Czar responded. "I am positive you will. I also have a shooting range with a wide variety of weapons in my palace, too," the Czar said, with a smile. "Anything from a muzzleloader to an M60."

"Now where is the Singular delegate?" He turned to Server. "How long do you think it will take for the Foreign Minister to arrive?"

Server made his way to see the Derscon Leader.

"Greetings sir! It is an honor to see you again. You may be pleased to know that our rebuilding from our Civil War is coming along and you are free to visit us for an offical state visit if you so desire.

As for our Foreign Minister, it should be anytime."

Father Antonette was wearing black pants and a clerical shirt with the roman collar.
He was busy getting himself a Baileys when he heard the Czar say not to.
"Damn Dersconians" he thought to himself.
He then got himself a French Vanilla and sat down on a couch.
He stood up
"I am sorry Cardinal DeVito left. He had more important matters to attend to than standing around but I am here to replace him."
Noticing Cardinal Clarke he walked over and kissed his ring. He then said,
"I feel that an alliance like this is benificial to both regions. I also hope that the Atlanticans will not be this late coming to our aid if we are at war" He laughed.
"I also hope we do not argue because I want a Baileys Irish Cream and a Sam Adams."
He then sat down and sipped his coffee.

The Czar laughed at Father Antonette's comment. "I understand, but I'm sure you can understand my wish not to have alcohol consumed during the meeting." He then turned to President Server.

"It is indeed an honour to speak with you once again. I hope this alliance will prove to be an event to even further strengthen ties between us. And I might take up that offer for the state visit. I just hope you have some Earth territory. My father shut down the space system awhile ago. It would be almost impossible to recreate it at the moment without any ability for contact to the Dersconi colonies in space."

(OOC: In other words, I'm ICly and now OOCly denouncing any link between Derscon in space and Derscon on Earth -- I will not RP them together)

The Czar laughed at Father Antonette's comment. "I understand, but I'm sure you can understand my wish not to have alcohol consumed during the meeting." He then turned to President Server.

(OOC: In other words, I'm ICly and now OOCly denouncing any link between Derscon in space and Derscon on Earth -- I will not RP them together)

"Of course we still have some Earth Territory. We maintain it and they are just as loyal as our citizens in space. They even have a vote in parliment!"

In a bright red fiery dress, President Rice strood in through the door.

As she took it all in, she nodded in approval.

"This is a nice place!" She stated to an aide as she continues too look around.

"Yes ma'am. I believe now would be a good time to meet up with our host?"

"Quite right."

She makes her way towards their gracious host.

President Server Looked up and noticed that Foreign Minister for the region.

"Sir, I believe that Miss Katherine Rice has arrived. She is the Foreign Minister of Atlantica."

Well, I'll Bump this up.

President Rice noticed that the President of Corneliu was already here, talking to the leader of Derscon. She walked up to them both and introduced herself.

"Greetings your highness! I am President Katherine Rice of Formal Dances and the Chief of Foreign Affairs for the Region of Atlantica. Sorry for my tardiness sir but we had a little problem back home that has now been taken care of. I would also like to thank you sir, for hosting this in honor of our alliance. Hopefully we will have a fruitfull relationship."

She turned to President Server. "It is an honor to see you too, Mr. President. It is about time that we meet together."

Father Atonette was getting sick of the delay. He finished up his cofee. He got up and got another cup of cofee ( French vanilla)
He then stood up and said
"Czar, I suggest that we get started. These latecomers will just have to miss part of it. That is their own problem. If we decide on something they don't like, too bad, it's their own fault for not being here"

"Greetings, Ms. Rice," the Czar said. He then turned to Father Atonette.

"Indeed," the Czar said to the Cherry. (OOC: I wanted to say that. :) ) He turned to the crowd. "Please, everyone, sit down."

OOC: Sorry, but I'm taking the liberty of RPing your characters sitting down without a fuss. Just to get things moving.

"Now, as you all know, permission has been given on both sides to have an alliance between our two regions. I have called you all here to make specific terms to a charter of sorts that shall be written up soon. There will be no extra government or anything, it is just a friendly 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine' kind of alliance. Now, I suppose Ms. Rice may speak first."

"Greetings, Ms. Rice," the Czar said. He then turned to Father Atonette.

"Indeed," the Czar said to the Cherry. (OOC: I wanted to say that. :) ) He turned to the crowd. "Please, everyone, sit down."

Katherine stood up and looked over the crowd. She took a dreep breath and proceeded with her speech.

"Thank you all for coming! First off, let me introduce myself. I am President Katherine Rice of Formal Dances. In an elections for the region, I was elected to the Post of Foreign Affairs. It took hard work to get this alliance off the ground. Between me and our Prime Minister coupled with the leaders of Greater Prussia, we were able to pull this off. That is why we are here today. To forge this alliance with all members that are present here today.

Thank you all."

She turned to the leader of Derscon, "Sir?"

Father Antonette pulled out a cigarette. He began to smoke it. He was trying to quit but just couldn't shake the habit.
He stood up
"Before the Czar talks I just want to make a statment"
"I think that this alliance ,among all other things, should include trade agreements."
He took a drag on his cigarette.
We then scribbled down two notes.
He slipped one to Count Centre and one to the Czar.
NO ONE else could see them although they did try, but did not secede it read:
secret note to Count Centre and the Czar
-I wrote to you Centre, to because you represent Reichskamphen and the Emperor, and to you Czar because you are the arch-chancellor. DON't forget the trade agreements. It will help us raise funds. We can gain very much out of this.(ooc-like on the invision forum) for GP. That is why i mentioned it.
-Father Antonette
END NOTE
He then stood up and said"The note was just about why the
"That note was just about how good this alliance is for the both of us"
He sat down. He grinned at Centre and the Czar.
*takes final drag ans snuffs cigarette*

OOC: Decided to change my delegate's name. He's still the Duc de Centreville, but his first name is now Guillaume. Just in case you were wondering :P

IC: The Duc de Centreville sat silently among the delegates. He had been told to defer to the Czar of Derscon for Imperial matters until his higherups had arrived, but was authorized to speak for Reichskamphen and the various Kingdoms under its domain and protection.

The Czar turned to Father Antonette. "Could you please put that cigarette out?"


OOC: BUMP!

DAMNIT, SINGULAR, WHERE ARE YOU?

OOC: Sorry got very busy with school

IC:

Leo Savoy stood to speak "For those of you who do not know me let me introduce myself, I am Leo Savoy Prime Minister of Atlantica. Thank You Derscon for Agreeing to these talks about forming an alliance between Atlantica & Greater Prussia I believe these talks will lead to a golden age for both our regions may we grow stronger together, would you not agree Katherine? “

"Yes I do agree Mr. Prime Minister Savoy."

"Sorry Czar, I won't do it again"
He rolled his eyes, nobody saw.
"Enough chat, lets get to buisness" said Father Antonette.

“What shall we talk about first gentlemen?” Asked Leo “A joint space program that some of your diplomats have been talking about or something else?”

“What shall we talk about first gentlemen?” Asked Leo “A joint space program that some of your diplomats have been talking about or something else?”

Katherine Looks around! "Huh Prime Minister, there are also Ladies present you know."

OOC: Derscon, take this for a while, I have run into a busy schedule, after the Presidential debates are over, I will be able to do more.

Arch Duke Guillaume Richarde Lefebvre de Centreville stood up, arrayed in formal state attire, a circa 1808 design Royal Guard Uniform from Reichskamphen. "Gentlemen and Ladies, I propose we begin the discussion of a joint space programme. Working together, we can advance farther than if we struggled alone. Not only that, but the Empire will be able to provide many great services in the way of manufacturing and supplying through the state Corporation Kriegscorp which runs most of these things in the region."

The Duke then sat down. He stood very formally and held his head high. It was clear he was a born and raised Aristocrat.

OOC: I'll try.
==========

"I completely agree. Ever since the Kremlin lost contact with the Dersconi colonies in space when I ascended to the throne, we have had no space power at all, except for some assets which, although I can tell you, I won't," he stated, smiling.

"Now, a space system would be a great accomplishment with both of us. Granted, I understand it would be mostly you helping us, since you have the space tech, and we don't," the Czar said to Leo Savoy. "But either way, once we are started up, we could be a large part of the space community. I'd also like to contact Derscon's former space colonies. I believe the governor for it is Field Marschall Jack Higgens. Unfortunately, I feel that once I establish contact, they might not want to come back -- but that is a different subject altogether." (OOC: Hint for upcoming RP! :) )

"So let me put it this way," the Czar said. "You have the technology, we have endless supplies of materials. Oh -- and don't get me wrong -- I have one or two labs with some of our ex-tech," he said, not saying he had a Stargate, but he just couldn't use it, since the book for positioning the gate was taken with General Steiner to Nuernburg -- the capitol of the colonial planets. "but really no way of using it. Specifics can be worked out now, if you wish."

He nodded to a Praesilli Dei present in the lounge and he brought back a silver tray of tea. "Tea, for anyone? Coffee isn't my thing, for those who like it, sorry."

"I'll take some tea!" President Server said. "As for a space program, that would be great. We would like to offer our territory here on Planet for such a thing. We are a space power with numerous ships and expertise. If you like, I can get in contact with the leader of our Space Program and have him help in such a thing."

Katherine Looks around! "Huh Prime Minister, there are also Ladies present you know."
“Sorry about that Katherine It’s been a long day” said Leo (looks around to see if Vi is in the room) “I Apologise Ladies & Gentlemen
well it seems we are agreed the first topic for discussion is a joint space program. I who like to put for ward that this endeavour should be split into two areas Civilian & Military.”

“Sorry about that Katherine It’s been a long day” said Leo (looks around to see if Vi is in the room) “I Apologise Ladies & Gentlemen
well it seems we are agreed the first topic for discussion is a joint space program. I who like to put for ward that this endeavour should be split into two areas Civilian & Military.”

"In this I agree. We should have both of them. That way, everyone benefits. Sounds like your taking a page from our playbook Mr. Prime Minister. This can only benefit all sectors of business and on society as a whole."

"Yes, that would be okay," the Czar said, as a Praesilli Dei was pouring a cup of tea for President Server.

"Now, it seems to me the thing to do would be to have the civilian branch headed by a region, and the military by another." Then he stops and thinks. "Well, maybe not. It would serve to be best if we divided up the headings."

OOC: More later, probably.

"Dividing up the headings would be good. That way individual countries can work on their individual strength. We in Formal Dances don't have a space program but we are willing to help in this effort and it could help us out if we ever decide to start a space program." President Rice stated.

As he sipped his tea, President Server looked at President Rice.

"Madam President, if you want, we can help you establish such a space program."

He then turned to his host. "I agree with you entirely. We should seperate this via headings. That'll make the work alot easier to deal with and I think it would be cheaper too."

The Czar smiled. "I hope you all realized 'headings' is not really a word." OOC: :p

"Okay, then," he continued, sipping his tea. "I say the departments are divided up. Construction is for a region, tech development is for the other, etc. An interregional command system can be worked out, also. Of course, either a Prussian or an Atlantican Admiral would have to be at the top of the list -- not sharing power-- and of course the other region would either have more Admirals under him or the other region would have more civilian voiceing.

Personally, of course, having a brother that was in the ex-Dersconi Space Command, and being an ex-Field Marschall myself, I will suggest a Greater Prussian to be at the head of the space fleet."

The Czar smiled. "I hope you all realized 'headings' is not really a word." OOC: :p

"I object to this. My son has far more space experience in this matter. He is the head of all of our military forces. I'm sure that he'll be a great asset as head of the space fleet since he is already."

"I object to this. My son has far more space experience in this matter. He is the head of all of our military forces. I'm sure that he'll be a great asset as head of the space fleet since he is already."

The Czar shrugged. "I have no problem with that. I was just making a suggestion."

The Czar shrugged. "I have no problem with that. I was just making a suggestion."

"Good! Is that acceptable to the rest of you?"

OOC: Well at least it was 10 days I have been gone from this topic 10 days not 14 like last time. School & looking in on other NS nations of mine is what me away and some recruiting for Atlantica Sorry.


IC:
“The division of the different aspects of the joint venture Atlantica- Greater Prussia space is acceptable to me” said Leo

Leo Savoy thought about what should be done about the position as head of the space fleet. ”As to how we will determine who will head the Joint space fleet interested officers should submit their credentials to a committee consisting of 50/50 Atlantica- Greater Prussia 50/50 Civilian-Military 50/50 and they will decide. Would that be an acceptable compromise gentleman?”

Would that be an acceptable compromise gentleman?”

"This I would fine acceptable." Katherine Rice stated in agreement. "That way, no one gets preferential treatment."

“Since I brought up the topic of Space as the first area of discussion I think I hosts Greater Prussia should pick the next topic of this Summit” Said Leo Savoy

"Indeed," the Czar said. "How about we talk some trade agreements and then take a short break?"

"Indeed," the Czar said. "How about we talk some trade agreements and then take a short break?"

"I think we can discuss trade now"

OOC: Where's the rest of your group?

Leo turns towards Katherine “Why don’t you go first let’s hear your ideas on regional trade?” said Leo

Leo turns towards Katherine “Why don’t you go first let’s hear your ideas on regional trade?” said Leo

OOC: Sorry! School Work sucks!

IC: "My ideas of regional trade is that there should be no tariffs on eachother's goods. Our trading ships be able to traverse eachother's waters with no difficulty. WHat do you think Leo?"

"I don't mean to be rude and but in," (OOC: but if I don't, I'll forget to) the Czar said.

"But I completely agree with you here. It would be basically like the United States in the fictional war thriller TV Show War of Mesopotamia: Part Two. A very goos show, I might add. Anyways, the economies, although semi-seperate, would be semi-joined together." He paused and laughed to himself at that. "I hope you understood that better than I said it."

CR no longer a GP nation, Father Antonette walked out and returned to CR.

THe Czar looked at Father Antonette in confusion. My security did not catch this how?

ooc- can you please just let him go. I need him elsewhere

ooc- can you please just let him go. I need him elsewhere

OOC: Yeah.

OOC: Yeah.
ooc- thanks

Server looks at Derscon as he left.

"Do you want me to send the military after him? My forces are the best as you know!"

"Har!" the Czar said. "Bring it on, Server!" the Czar laughed in a joking manner.

"Nah, he is fine. The SS shall escort him out."

Ooc: Bump

OOC: Sorry! School Work sucks!

IC: "My ideas of regional trade is that there should be no tariffs on eachother's goods. Our trading ships be able to traverse eachother's waters with no difficulty. WHat do you think Leo?"
I would agree with that Katherine the elimination of trade tariffs should be phased in over a few months

"Fairly simple," the Czar responded.

"Destruction of tarrifs works. Anything else to cover?"

The only thing we have to make sure that the elimination of does not happen too quickly, that could shock our economies.


OOC: @ Corneliu & Formal Dances
Please see Regional Politics Forum & The White House Forum on our Board it is very important.

OOC: Posted regarding what you stated regarding the founder!

OOC: @ Corneliu & Formal Dances
I have created the region of Atlantica 2 Please Move there ASAP.
Also XC is back as Northern Atlantica & Jordasio is back as The Jord Chezh

OOC: @ Corneliu & Formal Dances

K! I'll tell her and I'll move there in abit!

OOC: Ahem, back on topic?

What about a common currency?

The Czar looked at him with curiousity. "Hmm, I didn't think of that.

"Athough this may seem like a good idea, it won't be happening anytime soon. Considering Greater Prussia does not even have a centralized economy, it is doubtful that we could synch with you. Nevertheless, if we don't even have one, you probably won't, either. Greater Prussia is an actual Empire, while you are just an alliance.

"I have previously proposed a common currency, but a former member, whose nation is now defunct to to a Greater Prussian invasion, struck it down. I may repropose, it. I shall get back to you on that."

OOC: Happy New Year 2005
On a happy note the founder of Atlantica had their nation restored so Atlantica is now safe from invasion I plan to talk to him about running Atlantica 2 & Atlantica as one region.


What about a Labour agreement to let workers move freely between Greater Prussia & Atlantica 2/Atlantica

THe czar nodded.

"Excellent idea." He looked at his watch.

"Well, I think that we've covered everything, and can end this meeting. Any last minute ideas?"
