As Alexandre Brune stared out the window of the Parliamentary Palace in New Geneva, Reichskamphen...the thought suddenly hit him. "This is the worst it has ever been."

Brune was once called, 'Marechal' Brune...because he was a Marechal of the Greater Prussian Empire. Now, the Empire was gone. Collapsed into nothingness, a thing he thought he would never see. And so was his title. Others tried to pretend that the titles of nobility infront of their name still meant something. Brune had no such pretensions.

After the brutal conflict that brought the Empire down, Brune was put in Charge of the nation's recovery by the new Parliament. He found that most of the nations infrastructure hadnt been completely annhialated, but that Reichskamphen, once the centre of a grand Empire...now had trouble feeding its people.

The only exception was New Geneva, the gradious city that once served as the Imperial Capitol. With the return of political activity, business also returned, and the economy was reving itself up there. But nationwide, there had been no such occurance.

Brune immediately sent out a host of letters to previously friendly nations, and even former enemies, begging for any type of help they could offer.

To whom it may concerne,

It is not an easy thing for a people as proud as the people of Reichskamphen to ask for help...and it is no light set of circumstances that brings us to do so. It is the ultimate collapse of our way of life and our economy that brings our government to beg for any assistance that we can possibly get.

Most importantly, we ask that any nation that is able invest in Reichskamphen. For, I swear to you...we may be low at this late hour, but the time is near where we will return and the investment will pay off. We ask for any foreign investment, be it businesses moving in, or even direct investment in business efforts undertaken by locals.

Further, was ask for Humanitarian aide to those people who are nolonger able to ensure their own survival and whose cities ahve been dessimated by war.

We further invite any nation that so wishes to establish an embassy here in New Geneva for we are in desperate need of foreign advisors to help us restore our nation.

Some of you may have been friends of Greater Prussia, some of you Enemies. But Greater Prussia is a thing of the past. We are all just human beings, and the Democratically elected Government of Reichskamphen has asked me to extend a hand of peace and friendship and pleas for help to even those nations which once found us so abhorrent.

I pray that God will greatly move you to come to our aide.

Sincerely,

Sen. Alexandre Brune.

Subject: Humanitarian aid

We have always looked favourable upon your lands as potential allies. We have never forgotten that you have sent an entourage to the death of our late King so long ago.

However, we cannot offer as much aid as we would like, due to impending troubles in the Klatch and with icy relations between others in Greater Prussia, such as Derscon and Allanea. Still, we will send the sum of one billion Klatchian kronors to assist in your reconstruction efforts and we hope that this will help your proud nation.

OOC: There is no more Greater Prussia in this thread...period. It got blowed up! But I appreciate the gift in any form.

To: The Vrak Ministry of Rites
From: Sen. Alexandre Brune

I appreciate your kind words, and every government of Reichskamphen in my living memory has held a similar view of your nation. We appreciate your generous donation, and we pray that the troubles in the Klatch will soon be resolved.

I would like to point out, however, that the Greater Prussian Empire has ceased to exist, and the newly formed government of Reichskamphen has no ties or allies to speak of (that we can count on atleast) until they have made themselves known to us. We would certainly be quite capable of accomidating an Ambassador in New Geneva, Walrus or Human, if it is your wish to pursue friendly relations. Further, we would be just as content to send a representative to the court of your King.

Further, I have been authorized to transfer the deed to an 18th Century 2nd Empire style Chateau to the Vrakian government in return for your generousity. This Chateau is just outside of New Geneva, and you will find the keys and deed enclosed to do with as you will...though we hope that this may serve as the future Vrakian consulate.

May Bok bless you in whatever you do. (OOC: If I recall thats the name of your God)

Sincerely,
Alexandre Brune

Matthew Forester, the new Secretary of Transportation squinted in the bright sun at a six year old Imperial roadmap of this particular area of Southern Reichskamphen that led into the main port city, Kampfstadt.

His finger traced the red line of Imperial Highway 3 that ran from the very north of the Scottan Provinces (in the very north of the country) all the way down the Sea. Finally his finger settled on the exit where he was. He moved the paper to look up. Even one year ago...this would have been a bustling highway. Two overpasses had collapsed and there were brokendown cars all over the highway. The highway also seemed to disappear into black, churned earth for about the length of a football field after that. "A missile." he reasoned to himself. "Or Satan..."

Order had only recently been restored in that province, so the Secretary was safely inside an old Imperial Tank that had been seized by the Government. On the side was still emblazoned the insignia of the Imperial Guard and words in black. "Soli Deo Gloria" and "Joseph-Napoleon, Emp. et Roi" The first words indicated that it was from the infamous Soli Deo Gloria division of the guard, and the last indicated that it was a relatively modern piece of equipment, made during the reign of the last legitimate Emperor.

Secretary Forrest took a keen interest in even the most minute details of his job and had chosen to tour the country with the official survey group. So far, they had found that the highways needed about 50 billion in repairs...but these were generally only on the main highways and most of the country roads and non-expressways were still relatively operational. The only problem was affording the gas to run a car. Matthew recalled seeing a few here and there, but was always astonished when he did. Most of the nation's automobiles were either abandoned on the highway where they ran out of gas, or sitting tightly tucked away in a garage, hoping for better times.

That is of course, outside of the now three functioning cities. The Army had moved its headquaters to another still functioning city of Kaiserstadt several months ago, and it looked like the move was paying off as business was returning. There was even a traffic jam at one point.

Kampfstadt still functioned as the main port and was relatively untouched by the war that went on farther in the North. People still hurt, but nowhere near as badly as those just 50 miles north of them. New Geneva continued to thrive, and the taxes taken in that city from approximately 1% of the people were paying for 70% of the Governmental expenses simply because no one anywhere else had any income to tax.

The Secretary was making good notes, as later in the week, they would be meeting with the Interim head of Reichskamphen and presenting before the Reconstruction Subcommittee. Once these evaluative measures had been taken, the problem would be more clearly in focus, and a solution more easily found.
