Greater Prussia isn't just an Empire, it is a world of its own. Containing almost every differant conceivable religion and culture, Greater Prussia can offer a myriad of options for the international tourist.

Safety

When you enter a Greater Prussian country, your safety is practically guaranteed by the Emperor himself. Each nation is extremely secure, but avoids having an obtrusive police presence as this lowers the enjoyability of life for the citizens of the Empire as well as her guests. But be assured, should trouble meet you around a corner, the Gendarmes will not be far behind.

Culture

Imagine yourself sitting in a roadside cafe along cobblestoned streets in the early morning. The smoke is pouring out of the bakers chimneys and highlighting the brilliant blue sky. You gaze at the marvels of ornate 18th and 19th century Architecture while sipping a cup of what can only be described as the greatest coffee that money can buy. You aren't in Paris, or Vienna, or Rome...you are in Reichsburg.

The Capitol of the Greater Prussian Empire, an ancient city which is perhaps one of the most affluent in the world, can be your playground. Visit the ruins of the first Royal palace and walk beyond it to get a tour of the current Royal Palace which is home these days to the Prime Minister, Gerhardt Volcker.

Walk down the Via Victoria and view the friezes, statuary and monuments that have been errected down its length by the Kings of Reichskamphen since the city's foundation in 1567. It is practically a timeline of art history.

Stand in the Place de l'Empereur at the very centre of the city, and view the newly constructed monument to the Empire's 50th anniverary which dominates the Reichsburg skyline. It's three enormous golden plated eagles look out over the city as its guardians. Standing at nearly 1.5 times the size of the Eiffel tower it is something to be beheld indeed.

Hungry? You can choose to dine at any of the nearly 3000 Restaurants in the Capitol, 300 of which have been in operation in one aspect or another since the early 1800's. The fusion of traditional cuisine and modern flare is a trademark of Reichsburg's mostly French and Northern Italian-inspired dining scene. If you are thirsty, you can drop by the world famous Greater Prussian Wine and Spirits company and glance at their cellar of over 550,000 bottles.

If you are looking for entertainment, count on Reichburg to make it classy and affordable. Visit the Theatre Italien to view some of the greatest Italian Operas from Baroque era until Puccini. Or you can stop by the most grand Opera house on the face of the earth. Completed in 2010, the Reichsburg Imperial Opera House is decorated exclusively in the First Empire style and plays anything from Gluck's Orfeo to the newest and most recently published Operas. If you wish something a little less stuffy, you can visit any of the great traditional Art-Deco nightclubs. You will think you jumped into Paris in 1925 when those big bands start playing and the room starts swaying to the strains of those old tunes you can never forget.

Affordability

Life in Greater Prussia is opulent, but the standard cost of living is very low below the noble classes. You can find great bargains shopping the laborinths of little boutiques which sell everything from fine couture to expertly made glassware, to some of the finest antiques available today.

Rent a room in one of "Les Trois Hotels Anciens" either "La Grande Dame" which used to be the Palace for the Minister of Finance, "Napoleon II Royal Hotel" which was from the city's foundation in 1567 until 1823 one of the gigantic castle-style fortresses guarding the approach to the city, or "l'Aigle" hotel which was the home of a very wealthy Merchant that Napoleon I used as his headquarters during his Prussian Campaign, and the house that Napoleon II lived in during his reign as King. All of these hotels with their more than five star service and dining facilities will cost the guest no more than $275 US per night or nearly 100 Reichsmarks. There are smaller scale facilities as well taht run for under $100 US per night, but with the best so affordable, why bother with the rest?

One can eat extremely well in Reichsburg for only $40 US per day.

The Johnson family was sitting by their kitchen table watching different pamphlets about various vacation destinations. The usual blanked out spaces where evil Nephilim propaganda and blasphemous quotes had been showed the efficiency of the ever present ministerium of pure thoughts.

-“Look! There’s a really nice trip to Iesus Christi here!!” Mrs Johnson said.”I know you always wanted to visit the great Cathedral and its only 8 hours with the train or we could take the Autobahn and make it a road trip?”

Mr. Johnson squirmed as he pictured himself standing in hour long queues after spending hours in a hot car on the autobahn.

-“Hun, Have you seen this? It seems like Reichburg is doing a commercial drive. We could go there and enjoy some Jazz music and it seems it is safe there. Remember Uncle Arthur who got mugged the last time he ventured outside The Reich for vacation?” He shivered by the thought of the hour long story told by that babbling old man….

-“Yes! And look at the pictures!” She peered through the black ink spots that had been placed over some comment by a sloppy censor who not only erased the comment but also parts of the pictures of gardens. “Reichburg seems to be a really nice place! But 40 $ for a meal!? Isn’t that terribly expensive? What is that in Earlings?”

They continued to read until they reached the bottom of the ad and saw the package deals. His eyes turned dark.

-“45,000 for a trip!? Who do they think I am? I can get a brand new car for that here! That’s it! We’re going to the lake as usual this summer!”

The recycling bin quickly filled up with paper that was sent to the mills to be pulp and thanks to the excellent vacation industry of other countries and the Johnson family, 3 new copies of the Reich Bible could be printed on brand new recycled paper that year.

OOC: 45,000 is assumed a 9,000 dollar 1st class plane ticket to Reichsburg. You can find a cheaper way if you would rather suffer lol. Plus all meals, entrance fees into the differant museum's Hotel prices, plus what are generally hefty entrance fees into the salons for people who are not of the upper class in Reichsburg and estimated shopping expenses. That is the largets trip available where you literally live like a King for two weeks. All you have to do is pay the money to the travel ministry and they take care of the rest. Quite convenient.

For the lower incomes the Historic Reichsburg trip is reccomended with the standard 9000 dollar roundrip 1st class ticket (which by RL standards is a good price)

Plus...40 dollars A DAY...not a meal...that's pretty good. Think 5 for breakfast, 10-15 for lunch, and 20-25 for dinner and this is for the best restaurants in the city, stuff that in New York or LA would cost upwards of 50 dollars a plate for dinner alone.

I think the Veganians should definately reconsider! ;P

OOC: A $9,000 plane ticket? o.0

-“45,000 for a trip!? Who do they think I am? I can get a brand new car for that here! That’s it! We’re going to the lake as usual this summer!”

o.o.c: indeed - thats a very wise reich sensible attitude.honor to vegana!
<considers sending a tourist for propoganda reasons but it is rather a high price>

Is their anything modern to do?

Very nice move Reichskamphen.

Like the ancient Asian culture, yet still want those modern commodities? Or are you into more extreme winter sports? Better yet, enjoy those backwoods camping trips, one with a good view of the ancient Buddah shrine and sword smith on the mountain side? Perhaps a beach trip is more your style? The Imperial Shogunate of Pschycotic Pschycos, located on the eastern coastline of Greater Prussia is an excellent travel destination.

Our capitol city is perhaps the largest of the region, combining the charm of wood and paper architecture at the street level with modern towers and skyscrapers looming over you. Many a quaint cafe or resturaunt sit along one of the many canals or on the shore of the Inland Sea, an expanse of fresh water that takes up half of the country.

Travel packages are completly customized, our travel agents are standing by.

*Warning: Due to extreme security measures, proof of residence in the Greater Prussian region is required upon entry to the nation. If you cannot provide it, your chances of survival are...wow, I've actually gotta look that one up, it must be pretty low. Sorry, our nation is closed to all foreigners outside of the region.*

OOC: Tommorrow, Im going to revise it and put some economy packages. Ill also add your blurb to the main part, PP.

Personalised areas for countries - Good idea!

Losing faith? A trip to Holy Land will recharge those batteries of faith. If you're Catholic, Protestant, Jewish or Moslem - Jeruselem is place for you.

While many may perceive us a medieval state, the country which is the home of the Arch-Chancellor of the Kingdom of Burgundy isn't a medieval backwater. We have modern cities as well as ancient places of worship as well as many historical sites for tourists to visit. Whether you like to party to latest techno tunes, pray at the altars of many faiths, view the ruins of Roman occupation or go adventuring in the desert - Jeruselem has something for everyone.

Looking for God? Our many churches, synagogues and mosques, many dating back to middle ages, will spoil you. Don't forget the many Holy sites of the Abrahamic religions are here too. Please visit Jeruselem, for your faith.

Disclaimer: We have right to refuse entry to those promoting religious and secular views incompatible with the state of Jeruselem and Greater Prussia.

Your friendly neighborhood BUMPer. Don't take that the wrong way please.

Allaneans… possibly the wildest, strangest, and sickest people on Earth. Throughout the Empire, we are the people who run the nightclubs, the seedy establishments, who violate most nations’ moral codes. Yeah. You may dislike us - and you may not wish your nation were like ours. But this doesn’t mean you can’t visit Newport-Allanea - possibly the wildest place in the Empire.

Drugs are legal in Port-Allanea - and, unlike on the streets of most cities in the civilised world, they are guaranteed to be clean - without the lemon acid in your crack and glue in your marijuana. Prostitution and various perversions are legal and even socially acceptable. Gambling emporiums are open every day, all day, and all night.

In more way than one - Allanea is a way to relax of the conservatism of the metropoly.

Are you looking for a place to relax and enjoy a sunset on the beaches of the Dersconi Sea? Or maybe you're an adventurist, looking to climb The Stairway to Heaven, the largest mountain in Derscon, standing at fifty thousand seven hundred feet? Or maybe you're looking for ancient architecture, such as the Temple of the Sun, constructed over Four Thousand years ago and has never faltered?

Or is it song, dance, and food your looking for? Derscon is proud to brag about some of the best Jazz artists who reside in Derscon; names such as Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, as well as the jazz artist Louis Armstrong. Moscow Royal Theatre is home to many theatrical preformances such as the modern West Side Story to the Italian Turandot to the Shakespeareian Caesar. Moscow is also home to the oldest Church in Derscon, the Jesus Christ our Savior Cathedral, built over fifteen hundred years ago, as well as the second-largest church, Saint Basil's Basillica, towering over Red Square and the old Kremlin Palace that was the seat of Dersconi government for well over one thousand years, now open for tourism.

What about peace? Surely in a nation nearly one and a half times the size of the old Russian Empire has to have something. Well, you're right. All along the coast of the Dersconi Sea is a sea that is calm and relaxing, as well as clear as crystal. Or would you prefer to watch the sunset over the Dark Forest from Castle Neuschwanstein? What about fishing and swimming in Derscon's largest lake, Lake Romanov?

Or are you looking for something to challenge you? Try Rekjyavich Island in the warm southern waters of Greater Prussia, home to the Shah's Palace, one of the largest casinos in Greater Prussia. With water skiing, swimming, fishing, gambling, and five star resorts, you can't go wrong.

Ah, but what about food and drink? Derscon is the Empire's second-largest alchohol producer, and largest producer of vodka, and alchohol can be found at nearly any resturaunt, and at affordable prices. All resturaunts in Derscon are subject to strict guidelines on cleanliness and food quality, so you will never have a bad meal in Derscon. We even have vegetarian and kosher resturaunts in every city.

And of course, religion goes unsaid. Nearly every major religion is represented in Derscon, so in a major city, you will have no troubles looking for your belief structure.


However, Rekjyavich-Andropov Military City is off-limits to any and all foreigners.

DISCLAIMERS: Also, any citizen caught attempting to enter Derscon without a valid visa with the proper DNA, fingerprint, and paperwork identification will be blacklisted from ever entering the nation, as well as their family. If that person attempts to enter again, they will be thrown in prison.

THe only place to get a valid, official Dersconi Visa is at the Dersconi Embassy in your nation. If you do not have one, you may not apply for a visa, as Derscon does not have diplomatic relations with your nation. However, if you'd like to get an embassy exchange with Derscon, you may apply for one HERE (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9488060#post9488060) .

Notice: Derscon does not honour Diplomatic immunity in any way. Also, if a foreigner commits a crime in Derscon, they will be subject to the punishment of Dersconi law and will not be sent back to the home nation until the penalty is fully and completely paid.
