Begin transmission:

Friends and fellow Ambassadors. I write today to announce the arrival of Stoddenia to the UN. Stoddenia is a radically egalitarian and radically democratic state in the region of "Revolutionary Socialism". We have consolidated our revolution within our own country, have successfully rebuffed the aggression of one Torontia (who was then destroyed) and have re-established our Neutrality in all matters.

We hope to accomplish the following things:
1) Represent the interests of Stoddenia to the world.
2) Represent the interests of the poor and underpower nations of the world within the UN.
3) Organize a non-aligned movement of organizations that stand outside of treaty organizations and hegemonic institutions.
4) Providing THE example of radical egalitarianism in the world.

We look forward to working with you all. Please feel free to send diplomatic agents to our Country, and we will happily exchange ambassadors with all willing.

Serenely,
The Ambassador of the United Socialist States of Stoddenia to the United Nations.

Please See the following link for more information about our territory.

The link for NSwiki is http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php: make your page at http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Stoddenia. If you need any help, let me know by TG or by a note on http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/User_talk:Gruenberg2.

As for the reason you can't see his signature, check your settings. Go to 'Profile' (top left, under the N of NationStates), then 'Edit Options' (fourth down, left-hand side), then check that 'View Signatures' is checked with a green mark (you'll need to scroll down).

Finally, welcome to the UN. More RP stuff probably goes in other forums; however, if your ambassador wants to make an IC , I recommend popping into the Strangers' Bar (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=310853), where Neville will fix you up with whatever you want.

*stepping up to the mic* If someone will happily tell us how, we will happily include our information in the Wiki. It's not a problem, its just that this technology is more than we are used to in our small country. We barely electrified the country just a month ago...

Welcome to the UN, Stoddenia! If you need help with your Wiki you should ask Gruenberg.

Ahem. *The UN Ambassador clears his throat*

Thank you everyone for their warm welcomes to our Nation at this Prestigious body.

As for getting our information into the World Log, called the Wiki, our government this morning innitiated "Operation: Code Swipe" and were able, through cunning and ingenuity, enter the data with only a few, not insurmountable problems. We were successful in that operation and you can now see our entry. I will be providing business cards with all the requisite information you will need at the end of this speech, as well as the address to our Department of State, should any of you decide to send diplomats to our National Port of Oatmeal City.

Again, thank you all for attention, and if we can be any help in ensuring world peace, let us know.

The Ambassador of Stoddenia to the UN

The inflatable Gandalfs in the Sultanate of Cluichstan speak 69 different languages, which makes them cunnilingual.

To my new associates in the UN:

Just to show that I am not without a sense of humor, I shall gracefully accept an office in the basement, so long as I am provided with a personal elevator, a fully stocked soda mess, and a new calendar. Concerning the elevator, I want one that rises directly from my office up through the floor of the Assembly chambers, and I want a switch on the elevator that turns off all the lights and triggers spotlights, discoballs and Parliament Funkadelic music over the PA. This trigger will be set off whenever the floor opens from the elevator. At least one of the spotlights must be trained on the elevator as it rises, but the others can flash around the rest of the assembly; that's ok... Anything to pump up the crowd. If you like, you can put a podium for the elevator to rise onto, but it would probably be better (logistically, at least) if I were just to step out of the elevator and have no choice but to walk up onto the platform. Your choice. An MC, announcing my arrival is optional.

Concerning the Soda mess, I would like it full of sodas that are non cafinated and have been de-carbonized. That's not too difficult, just open several 7-Ups and let them sit for a day and then close them up and put them back in the Fridge. Also, as we are a revolutionary socialist state, I would like all M&M's that are placed into the soda mess to be ONLY the color of Red. If this is not possible, then please, at the very least, remove all of the Greens... I don't need any liberal influences in my soda mess.

Concerning a new calendar. Just a new one for next year so I can keep appointments... If you like, you can make it a 16 month calendar, but this is not necessary. I just will ask for a new one next month.

This is all. I appreciate your offer and will accept it. *nods respectfully and steps away from the Mic*

Underneath "The People's Limousine" would most assuredly not be a good place for an office.

[OOC]: Come on guys, we're supposed to do this when someone announces that they are leaving the UN, not arriving.

Do you know how hard it is to resist the urge to say "disused ladies toliets? That's nothing!" and launch in to a whole diatribe about being cut in two by the ambassedor every night?

I'm sure the gnomes will get on with your requests right away. In the meantime, we're sure Neville has some flat Sprite stored away somewhere.

And I assume the Ambassador is adept at ping-pong?

Our national sport is grenade toss... Though, I suppose, with a strong enough force, one could play ping-pong with Grenades.

Grenade toss players train with the pin in, but the actual competions are litterally a blast...

Acutally when it comes to alterations to the building it falls under our jurisdiction, and we'll get on your requests as soon as possible. Please bear in mind that we're currently understaffed so it may be a while before your requests are fulfilled, possibly up to a year before we can even get started. Thank you for your patience.

Well, I've forwarded your requests to the chief archetect of the building and once he stopped laughing, he told me that he'd look over the proposed changes and see if they can be implemented without disrupting any vital UN building services (things like water supply, power conduits, happy hour at the Strangers Bar, etc.). But it will most likely take some time especially as he has to remember where he put the blueprints for the building.
