http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Cyril_MacLehose-Strangways-Jones

There, updated and everything

Born in Port Sir Richard in 1880, Sir Cyril attended the prestigious Riccardoton Girls school, due to a typing error and a short sighted preist, before attending Hailsham College, Port Sir Richard University; where he attained a double first class honours degree in Irritating Funny Foriegn people, the standard course for those whishing to join the Cobdenian Foriegn and Regional Office. He shewed promise as a young diplomat, and was single handedly responsible for the outbreak of the Dull and Fairly Short War of 1902 when he accidently assasinated Archduke Alexander Kapranos when the spoon he was weilding turned out to be loaded. Due to this, he was immeadiately made a Fellow of the Slightly Shambolic Order of the Governor (FOG). In 1920, he served as Ambassador to Omigodtheykilledkenny, and due to his stirling efforts to bring the two countries together, and the fact he actually didn't end up going to war with them, he was promoted to a Lieutnenant of the Slightly Shambolic Order of the Governor (LOG) by His Excellency the Governor-General, before leaving that position and replaicing Sir Leslie Featherstonehaugh-Mickelwhaite-Cholmondsey-Cholmondsey-Smythe, KCRC in 1930. Due to this appointment, he was made a Knight Commander of the Most Fantabulous Order of Sir Richard Cobden (KCRC).

As well as a Diplomat, Sir Cyril is also a champion Spaniel breeder and a fully qualified fireman.

Name: Pazu-Lenny Nero

http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Love_and_esterel#Pazu-Lenny_Nero:_Minister_of_Foreign-Affairs_and_.28de_facto.29_UN_Ambassador

Position: Minister of Foreign-Affairs and (de facto) UN Ambassador
He is the strong artisan of the involvement of Love and esterel in the UN affairs.

Place of Birth: Mongla, Bangladesh

Background: Journalist
A colourful personage, he never wore tie nor costume but always coloured clothes. He always tries his best not to become a member of the establishment and prefer to frequent the beach lounge bars of Little Vagator or Anjuna instead of the chic, class and trendy restaurants of the capital.

His nomination was highly controversial, because of his dressing style, his lack of mastery in the 4 national languages, and his impatience. He sometimes made big languages errors in its TV interview, which always set off giggles.
But to the general and his surprise he passed the senate vote. Even if there was not the single evidence, he knows that behind this was the invisible but powerful hand of Georges Shallmar (Minister of Economy and Trade)

Politics: favour:
-Human (and sentience) Rights;
-Education;
-New technologies;
-Economic freedom and development; free trade;
-Sustainable-Development & Environment; non profit organisations;
-Cultural, scientific, students and Information Exchange Programs,

Likes: travelling, roller-coasters, clubbing, house and progressive music, trekking, mountaineering-skiing, philosophy, mountain biking, rollerblading, running, gadgets, design furnitures

dislikes: wine, cigars, tie, but mostly obsolete technologies

Left/right: Pazu-Lenny Nero thinks this right/left opposition is obsolete
He is a proud liberal both on social and economic issues
He likes the sentence of John Stuart Mill “Liberty stops where someone else liberty begins”
And therefore, for him “regulation” is an essential and intrinsic part of Freedom

Federalist/Sovereignist: he doesn’t care, but for him the world is moving unrelentingly towards more globalisation and then will need more and more multilateralism and international co-operation and regulation, in order to avoid anarchy

Best book (novella): “Fast Times at Fairmont High”, by Vernor Vinge, he found it so fresh

Best tune ever: Delerium feat Sarah McLachlan - Silence (Fade's Sanctuary Mix) [unreleased live, Paul Oakenfold Essential Mix @ Sydney]

Best tune for 2005: Depeche Mode - A Pain That I Am Used To (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) … to be released 12th december 2005...

UN Accomplishments: author of #118 The Sex Education Act, and #121Adoption and IVF Rights, Co-author of #124 Repeal "Promotion of Solar Panels"

UN Failures: Worldwide Media Act (Co-author), failed also to prevent the repeal of PoDA

Where to meet him on the evening: at the open-air "Nine bar", for a magnificant sunset on the Arabian Sea behind coconut palm trees, surrounded by great house-prog and lounge music

In 1920, he served as Ambassador to Omigodtheykilledkenny, and due to his stirling efforts to bring the two countries together, and the fact he actually didn't end up going to war with them, he was promoted ...I also got a mention in one of Eco's profiles. I'm popular! And indeed, the Great Cobdenia-Omigodtheykilledkenny Non-war of the 1920s was a spectacular accomplishment for your deputy. We wish him our best, and fully intend to acquire a time machine in order to transport our best wishes back in time about 70-75 years. :eek:

The construction of a time machine is unneccessary, as although Cobdenia is, at present, only in 1930, a slight problem with a time machine, Jesus Christ, and a forklift truck, has caused Cobdenia to exist as a projection into the 2005, 1624, and 5428 and 1930 simultaneously.

We have a serious problem trying to import modern technology, as all modern and future and past tech stuff turns into a 1930's equivalent; but on the plus side our exports automatically become modern.

Are the people living in Cobdenia 2005, Cobenia 1624, Cobdenia 5428 and Cobdenia 1930 the same (ie: different avatars of the same person), or are they parents related?
What happen to his/her descendance (or his/her avatar) in Cobdenia 2005 when someone in Codenia 1930 die in an unexpected crash car for example?

Well, Cobdenia is itself only in the thirties, but we project ourselves into all those time periods. So, if you are in those time periods, you can visit Cobdenia in the 1930's. Like a time warp. And anything you take into Cobdenia or out of Cobdenia becomes appropriate for that time period, so if you were to take a computer from 2005 into Cobdenia it would turn into a typewriter, and if you were to take a typewriter out of Cobdenia through the1642 projection, it would turn into a quill.

It's all rather confusing.

Confusing, but astonishing and for sure a great experience for your citizens

They don't tend to leave Cobdenia, for fear of the future and past. However, it is bloody funny to see the looks on the faces of tourists coming from 2005 when there Boeing 747 turns into a Handley Page

What happen if you left Cobdenia 2005 to Cobenia 1624 with your IPod Nano?
Can you get it back when you come back in later in Cobdenia 2005?

Well, Cobdenia is ONLY 1930. However, if they were to travel from Love and esterel (assuming it's in 2005) and buy a i-pod, they would arrive to find themselves in possesion of a top of the range gramophone and thousands of jazz records; and if you took your top of the range gramophone from Cobdenia with there 100 Jazz records, they would get an Ipod when they exited Cobdenian airspace

whoooooooo, thats great

I haven't done one for my ambassador yet. I will do, though. In the meantime, I'm willing to help anyone trying to wikify their ambassador who's not familiar with the code, or is having problems with a particular something.

assasinated Archduke Alexander Kapranos

Anyone who understands that reference in it's entirity will get a Cobdenian Browny which uses the special computer made recipe...

I have heard tell of these brownies. (Franz Ferdinand.)

I need more information from My Esteemed Colleague before I can give him the Chocolate browny...

Hmm, well Kapranos is the lead singer/songwriter bod of FF. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo. And Franz Ferdinand are fairly dull and short. Not sure about the spoon though.

You get the browny

You might consider speaking to Mikitivity, actually. He was also looking to sort out one for his work: I'm not sure how far he got with that.

This page (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ChoosingaWiki) is quite good as a 'how to start'; also, of course, WikiScience's guide (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wiki_Science:How_To_Start_A_Wiki).

I'm not the best to ask about engines, but there are a number of good free wiki hosts, such as WikiCities (http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Wikicities), although I'm not sure they do personal/individual work wikis.

Anyone who understands that [Archduke] reference in it's entirity will get a Cobdenian Browny which uses the special computer made recipe...That reminds me; can anyone who's read my main ambassador's bio tell me who his character is supposed to be based upon?

Anyone who can will have 50 tree-fiddys* donated in their name to the Save Kenny Fund**. Not much of an incentive, but what're ya gonna do?!

*BONUS QUESTION: Where does my currency come from? No Googling now, you naughty boy. :mad:

**Sponsor of the wildly unsuccessful UN Protection of Kenny Act, which would have banned the killing of Kenny over international waters. Or something like that.

I went with Media Wiki (aka Wiki On A Stick) just cause it seemed simplest. This is only going to be an inhouse thing, with no customers or no one from the public seeing it, so if it works it doesn't have to look all that pwetty :}

Wow, good guess! The Save Kenny Fund just got a little fatter, thanks to the illustrious ambassador from L&E.

(Although, Bolton was never a journalist; that's one part of Riley's bio that's completely divergent from Bolton's.)

I've added your ambassador for you. You might want to clean up your nation article / present it more clearly, though.

I've put the name of St Edmund's ambassador to the UN into the list on NSwiki, but want to do some more work on the articles about my actual nations before I start allocating time to writing biographies...

Sen. Horatio Sulla will be haunting this place shortly. I've got his bio on paper, and hopefully this week will have time to NSWiki him.(umm..that kinda sounded dirty for some reason:p )

Should we consider making a UN Ambassador category? I'm not sure one way or the other?

As for NSWiki-ing people, I proposed creating a California Water Wiki, and my management hated the name "Wiki" ... they thought it sounded silly.

Should we consider making a UN Ambassador category? I'm not sure one way or the other?

No, I think that's excessive. I'd suggest just adding them to [[Category:Characters]] and [[Category:United Nations]].

I forgot to display in this thread's bio a picture of our UN Ambassador (Pazu-Lenny Kasigi-Nero), here it is

My new UN office (Wiki pages not yet made). The information on this page would probably be available to others ICly, but be sensible about how much you would realistically know about them. I intend to try RPing a bit more with them.

Ambassador - Princess Jianna Woltzten (http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2791/jiannawoltztenfe1.jpg)

Age: 23
Birthplace: The Royal Palace, Flurthwel, capital city of Gruenberg
Family: Eldest daughter of Sultan Gardab Woltzten IX. Has two younger sisters and two half-brothers. Formerly dated the Gruenberger cricketer Benny Enchante, but is now single.
Education: Home-tutored to the age of 12; graduated from Lady Margritta's Private High at 17; BA (Communications major) from the Central University of Flurthwel.
Employment: None prior to appointment.
Background: The heir to the throne, with a something of a wild reputation. Least-favoured daughter of her disapproving father; most-favoured daughter of the eager tabloid press. No known interest in foreign or public policy, politics, or international relations. Appointed to stop her bugging her dad for the car keys.
Politics: Unknown, aside from strong conservationist views. Officially a member of the Monarchist Party. At one point thought to be something of a 'flower child', but expressed support for the invasion of Chechyna, and regularly attends public executions. Has volunteered at homeless shelters and weapons amnesty collections.
Titles: Grand High Princess, Holy Heir to the Sultanate, First Child of the Holy Wenaist Church, Grand Duchess of Greater Naffarron, Honorary President of Gruenberger Automobile Club.
Responsibilities within the UN Office: Purely formal and ceremonial - is to play no legislative role.
Interests: Music, cars, sports, fashion.
Once said: "Your outfit is, like, sooo last season," on meeting Lydia Cornwall for the first time.

Deputy Ambassador - Sub-Vizier Rittel Wenkein (http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/7056/subvizierjr7.jpg)

Age: 38
Birthplace: Kashbara, large market town in Gruenberg
Family: Father a landowner and shooting partner of Gardab VIII, mother a society host and lady-in-waiting to Queen Pindara. Has one sister, wife of an infantry captain. Unmarried (took an oath of chastity at the age of 18).
Education: Graduate of the strict and prestigious Wenaist school, the Mellbar Academy. Starred double first in Scripture and Classics from the University of Merlefurt (Elkham College); Fellow of Pandra College for one year whilst taking an MA in Greats. Top graduate in his year from the Viziery Special College.
Employment: Has worked his way up through the Viziery (the administrative wing of the Court). Rarely, did not do military service, instead undertaking a year of missionary work in the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnGut Hills. Appointed to the office of Sub-Vizier. Appointed Head of the Holy Heir's private office.
Background: A self-serving career bureaucrat, Wenkein (almost always referred to simply as "the Sub-Vizier") was one of the brightest prospects of the Viziery, but was hurt by allegations of financial misconduct. Although cleared of these charges, the investigation of them turned up rumours of a mistress of foreign extraction. Once widely tipped as next in line for the role of Grand Vizier, the transfer first to Jianna's private office and then to the UN is largely seen as a demotion for him.
Politics: Conservative: socially extreme, and economically moderate. Favours a social role for the state in the provision of education and welfare; opposes female suffrage, gay rights, and frequently espouses strongly xenophobic viewpoints. Fanatical Wenaist, and described by some as a "neocon" for his foreign policy views. Less supportive of free trade than most within the department. Strongly sovereigntist.
Titles: Sub-Vizier for Letters, Head of the Office of the Holy Heir, That Guy With The Funny Nose.
Responsibilities within the UN Office: Primarily administrative and ceremonial. Will deliver speeches in the GA, but in general refrain from committee debate. Unlikely to pursue a significant legislative agenda.
Interests: Religion, meditation, reading, racial theory (has a wallchart of skull measurements in his office).
Once said: "Did you know a black man invented peanut butter?" when trying to convince an angry and broken-bottle-wielding McXiminez that he wasn't actually racist.

Deputy Deputy Ambassador - Captain Biggles McXiminez (http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9148/bigglesmcximinezvp6.jpg)

Age: Like, 90?
Birthplace: Central Merlefurt (Gruenberg's major port city)
Family: Fourth of nine children of a tavern waitress, Gurty McXiminez. Probably the son of merchant Winn Wobble. Never married, but has sired countless children - all named "Biggles", so he can remember their names. Still forgets.
Education: No formal education - has never learned to read. Apprentice to famed privateer Frankel Sabian.
Employment: Joined the Gruenberger Royal Navy at the age of 12. Expelled 44.8 seconds later for drunkenness. Joined the Gruenberger Merchant Navy, before recruited into a special privateer force, which he rose to become head of.
Background: Befriended a young Moltan Bausch, then a military officer in the Gelzien Nub, at a Gelzien tavern. One of the most famous privateers in Gruenberg's history, but has little to show for it, as most of his earnings have been gambled or drunk away, with at least 30% of it being tucked into assorted items of clothing. Appointed Deputy Ambassador after Nuck Chorris's resignation, in lieu of Bausch's plans to repeal "The Law of the Sea". Since spent many days at the Strangers' Bar. Has vomited into four ambassadors' chairs, eighty-one plant pots through the UN building, and all seven seas.
Politics: None, aside from vehement opposition to bans on privateers. More cosmopolitan with regards to many social attitudes than most Gruenbergers, but generally rolls with the conservatives, as he has found annoying liberals to be fun, no matter where he is or what he's vomiting into.
Titles: Former Captain of the Saucy Sue, former Commander of the Special Action Fleet, Minister for Vomiting, Deputy Secretary of State for Penis Jokes, Life Vice-President of the Commercial Privateer Union, Captain of the "Wonky Badgers" bar darts team.
Responsibilities within the UN Office: Drinking, vomiting, saying "yarrr", occasionally offering surprising insights, shouting, vomiting, ogling, vomiting.
Interests: Darts, fishing, the Thessadorian Ambassador's chest, vomiting.
Once said: "Yarrr." This accounts for 95% of his vocal output, so pinning it down to one instance would be redundant.

Chief of Staff - Rono Pyandran (http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2471/ronopyandranqx6.jpg)

Age: 37
Birthplace: Moroschwegen, Gruenberg's largest city
Family: Son of a doctor and a nurse. Has two sisters. Twice divorced, with one child from his first marriage, a 16 year old girl who he rarely sees.
Education: Graduate of Moroschwegen #47 High, the Gruenberger Military Academy, and later of the the Diplomatic Corps Training College, taking an MA in International Relations from the CUF at the same time.
Employment: Served in the army for ten years, rising to the rank of Captain, and winning several citations for bravery and medals. Served with Moltan Bausch in the Gelzien Nub. Left the army disenchanted, after being repeatedly turned down for promotion having refused to join the secretive Kavel Society. Trained as a diplomat, and became an ambassador after just three years, after conducting impressive work negotiating a ceasefire with Maoist rebels from New Greater Tibet.
Background: A soldier and a diplomat, Pyandran was picked, ahead of any obvious affinity for UN affairs, as a replacement for Bausch in terms of tone and style of delivery. It is thought that, like Bausch, he will become ambassador at some later stage, having served as Chief of Staff - indeed, their careers hold several similar parallels.
Politics: Best described as libertarian - tends to shy away from comment on social affairs, with the exception of strong opposition to gun control and drug legalisation. Advocate of free trade, free market policies, tort reform, privatization, labour and environmental deregulation, and international security (having served in a Counterterrorism unit for two years). Extremely rare in Gruenberger politics, he is at most a non-practicing Wenaist - and likely personally an atheist, though he would not admit this in public.
Titles: Senior Counsellor to the Ambassador, former Ambassador of State, Captain, Gruenberger Army (retired), Treasurer of the Gruenberg Facial Hair Appreciation Society, former Chair of the Gruenberger Rifle Association.
Responsibilities within the UN Office: Chief of Staff and Advisor on Security and Military Issues, he is the chief legislator, the representative to organizations such as the NSO, DEFCON and the ACCEL, and acts as the main spokesman for Gruenberger views, yielding to the others for specialist opinion: he primarily concentrates on personal attacks.
Interests: Guns, film, motorbikes, crack cocaine.
Once said: "Bausch was right about your fearsome intellect - and your cracking charlies," in debate with Lata Chakrabarti.

Deputy Chief of Staff - Lurs Lennto (http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/5780/lurslenntohz2.jpg)

Age: 44
Birthplace: Kippli, small city in east Gruenberg
Family: Son of an industrial magnate, whose empire he inherited. Two elder brothers, who he poisoned. Married, with no children, to a teacher, Salasha Lennto, who has now taken up the role of tutor to Pippi Jiffjeff.
Education: Left Kippli MegaHigh at the age of 16. At the age of 29, obtained an MBA from the CUF Business School. No other qualifications.
Employment: Has always been in business. Left school to start a small shop selling sweets, and bought up several other businesses. Took over his father's empire to become one of Gruenberg's wealthiest men. Most famous for establishing a factory whose sole purpose is to pump noxious fumes into the atmosphere "to piss off fluffies".
Background: Personal friends of Sultan Gardab Woltzten IX, and one of his leading campaign contributors. Despised by the workers of Gruenberg, and has consistently led anti-union campaigns. Attracted some controversy from the right for advocating relaxed immigration laws, and trade relations with Gurglestan - all to further his business aims. Relocated from Gruenberg to avoid certain taxes, but remains amicable with the Sultan. Wena-father to Princess Jianna.
Politics: The most "typical" Gruenberger in his views: moderate social conservative, strongly capitalist economically. Longtime supporter of the Monarchist Party, but has never run for office, despite many opportunities to do so.
Titles: President of the Gruenberger Business Institute, former Chair of the Institute for Research and Development, Greedy Fascist Pig of the Year (9 time recipient).
Responsibilities within the UN Office: Nominally Environmental Advisor, despite "hating nature": in charge of developing a sustainable reform of UN environmental laws. Works with Korbitz on economic affairs, but is more concerned with labour relations.
Interests: Money.
Once said: "I'm not in favour of total labour deregulation. That would be dangerous. Just let me keep my pummelling stick, and I'll be happy," during the debate on The 40 Hour Workweek.

Economics Advisor - Dr. Pendle Korbitz (http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/191/pendlekorbitzsl3.jpg)

Age: 52
Birthplace: Flurthwel
Family: From a family of academics, with a brother and a sister also in academia. Married to a 19 year old mail order bride, who he is yet to meet.
Education: Holder of five degrees: a BSc in Molecular Biology, a BA in Economics, an MA in Applied Economics, a PhD, and an honorary DSc.
Employment: Has not worked a proper job for one day in his life. Has held various academic posts, but never threatened to make Professor. He has also never been admitted to study or teach at the CUF - they even stopped him coming in to use the toilet once.
Background: Incredibly boring, stupid man with a propensity to use long words he doesn't understand, in the wrong context. Poor grasp of economics, and widely mocked in academic circles. The reasons for his appointment remain a mystery, but are thought largely to do with relocating his appalling personal odour further away from Gruenberg.
Politics: Being an economics academic, he is a free market radical, and describes himself as a "cultural conservative".
Titles: Economics Advisor, Senior Lecturer in Microeconomic Theory at the Sal-Siaba Science Institute, Fellow of the Gruenberger Economics Society.
Responsibilities within the UN Office: Shutting the fuck up.
Interests: Eating, playing golf, using long words, avoiding exercise.
Once said: "The present state of the UN is of an anachronistic cacophony of topographical apostasy. The thrombosis does not look good," addressing several bored waiters during his acceptance speech for the post of Economics Advisor.

Personal Assistant to the Ambassador - Iffne Hevan (http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3977/redwoodbv9.jpg)

Age: 44
Birthplace: Flurthwel
Family: Son of an accountant and a legal secretary. Only child. Married to a housewife, Doris. Two children, both of whom are prematurely grey-haired, and attend boarding school.
Education: Expelled from school for being too boring, but later allowed to return after writing an exceptionally boring letter of apology. Gained a BA in Law, and trained as a lawyer in Flurthwel.
Employment: Acted as a lawyer in Flurthwel for many years, most of these occupied by a single case, in which he droned on and on and on and on about some stupid legal shit. Specialised in intellectual property rights, having decided law in general wasn't sufficiently boring, and wishing to concentrate on what he knew best.
Background: One of the leading IP lawyers of Gruenberg, appointment to be Intellectual Property Rights Advisor was unfortunately curtailed when, after Discogate, the Sultan grew bored of 'that IP jazz'. Already on his way to the UN building, Hevan was retasked as personal assistant to the ambassador.
Politics: Strong supporter of IP laws, but also of free trade and anti-trust laws. Tort reform advocate. Socially conservative, but also adopts "boring" positions such as opposing guns, drugs, and victimless crimes, in an effort to be even more dull. Orthodox Wenaist (but not the interesting "burrrrrn the heathens!" sort either).
Titles: None (too boring).
Responsibilities within the UN Office: Getting coffee, cleaning up after Princess Jianna's nights out, doing filing, stealing staplers from resigning ambassadors, helping Jiffjeff with her anti-chafing cleaning, painting the walls of opposing delegation's offices grey as a 'challenge'.
Interests: Chess, black and white movies, photography, S&M.
Once said: "blah blah blah blah blah" (or something like that, who really cares?)

Education: Won a scholarship to a private school in Moroschwegen, and studied law at the University of Merlefurt. Trained as a lawyer in Flurthwel.

Background: At the age of 18, she met and married Pettikart Jiffjeff, a naval officer, instantly elevating her social status. They had a child, Pippi, who she now raises alone after Pettikart's unfortunate death.
Politics: Zealously conservative, campaigning for bans on prostitution, drugs, blasphemy, having the wrong colour skin, not being Wenaist, and having fun, and leading several successful censorship campaigns.

Titles: Legal Aide, Minister of Sandy Vaginas, Chair of "Mothers Against Weird Stuff", Member of the "Women's Council on Democracy" (an group lobbying against female suffrage), Best Mother Hall of Fame Member of Gruenberger Women's Weekly.

I had a bunch of funny-like comments to make about many points in your post, but there were too many, so overall, very nicely done. And thanks for using the term "neocon" correctly.

Also, bump.

"He said what?"

"Um. Nothing much, just that they were... um, cracking."

An eerie silence.

"Um. Lata? I think it would be a very good idea if you don't take the cheese cutter into the debating hall... Lata? Lata! Come back!"

Politics: Very militarian, would be conservative if he knew what it meant
Interests: Guns, tanks, hiding, pot noodles
Famously said:
As you probably know, war is not a polite occupation. Bullets can injure you, bombs can squish you, tanks can run over you, and you can lose your cufflinks at very embarassing moments. War is a clash between those who are in the right, those who are in the wrong, and those with the most money. It's about right thinking men, taking up arms against an oppressor and killing them. Despite what your prep-school headmaster might have told you, war's about death, not trout fishing.

Some of you may be thinking that old soldiers like myself, glorify armed combat, To that I say, piffle. We've got the wheel, space travel, aspirin and Pot Noodles, all very wonderful inventions in their own peculiar ways, but what mankind will really be remembered for, is scrapping. Ever since one caveman bounced a rock off the cranium of his neighbour, we've been clubbing, stabbing, gutting, crushing, shooting, poisening and bombing each other. So what I've got to say to you is this. Forget about staying neutral, don't try and pretend that war sickens you, ignore those who tell you to turn the other cheek. You, a member of the human race were put on this earth to fight for your land, your honour and your cufflinks. So, up and at 'em lads. Last one into no-mans land is a big girls blouse.

theres a new member of staff in the Kirisuban UN office.

Name : Ms Raiko Sakura
age : 23

Career :

Ms Sakura is Kaigan and Midori's secretary amongst other things. As well as keeping the ambassadors organised she does a lot of their research and occasionally turns up in strangers bar.

Before working in the NSUN she served with the Kirisuban foreign office after graduating from Kyoto University with a politics degree.

She good looking with the classic asian looks (dark eyes, long dark hair and olive skin). always dressed smartly favouring skirt suits. is sometimes seen wearing a small pair of glasses.

interests : K-pop, anime and pool

politics : unlike her bosses she's a paid up member of the Kirisuban Green Party which enjoys strong support in some parts of the country.

the new deputy once Midori goes off on maternity leave will be :

Name : Ms Yukiko Uehara
age : 25
description : not much different from Midori except in her politics. A civilian she is a diplomat in training and the NSUN should be a good proving ground for her. She lacks a little of Midori's natural confidence although but should gain it in time.

political back ground : a supporter of the Kirisuban Liberal Party she isn't as conservative as Kaigan and Midori. favours social action proposals.

interests : classical music, rugby union and fencing

I can not for the life of me get the NSWiki to behave for more than three minutes today, so I will skip putting this there for now and just have it here.



Ambassador - High Clawlord Mephi

Age: 27
Race: Human
Birthplace: Chagarr, Lycanthropa
Family: Mother and father Elda and Timmerson, brothers Garn and Sarn, sister Karren.
Education: Continuing, as with every Lycanthropan citizen. Specifically speaking, he mostly seeks to learn more regarding political sciences and the governing rituals of his people. When not busy studying the arts of these topics, he indulges in understanding chemistry and biology.
Employment: Previously, Mephi tilled a scrapeberries field. The inner circle's ritual selected him for High Clawlord three years ago, and it is a lifetime position. As High Clawlord, he is responsible for the majority of foreign diplomatic affairs, as well as the Eyes and the Hands of the people, and the Left Fang.
Background: Average young man working to sustain his family's scrapeberry plantation during the day and heading into town to learn the joys of school at night, suddenly transplanted into one of the two leading offices of his nation. He is fluent in both Hugurrik and English, as his position demands him to be, and he has carefully led his nation through the bumps of the last few years as it tried to make itself known to the greater world.
Politics: There are no party lines in Lycanthropa. Only beliefs and applied laws. Mephi favors things supporting the environment and education, as well as safety for all people. He overestimates the honesty and well-meaning of other nations sometimes, and is often steered from the razor's edge that misconception brings him to every now and again by Ch'hurruk, who knows better. He still stumbles at times, and at the moment has paired with Ch'hurruk and done something utterly radical regarding his nation's economy that may or may not cripple it, but so far, the people love him.
Titles: High Clawlord, Speaking Handshakes, Defense of the People.
Responsibilities within the UN Office: Everything.
Interests: Life science, rituals, televideo, and good food.
Appearance: 5'11", lean but with hidden, dense muscles. Sharp face with long, thick black hair and piercing brown eyes. His canine teeth are longer and more pointed than in the average human, gaining him extra respect from the Hugur, but they tend to go unnoticed by everyone else. Often looks like his mind is on something else. Usually has a smear of ink somewhere on his face or hands.
Once said: "Are we not noble wanderers, come from a long line of walkers and explorers? These cars you speak of, they take us further than our bodies alone, true. But where is the knowledge gained in travel? Where is the refinement of the spirit that comes from solitary thought in the wild? No. You have lost the Way."

I'll do it later.

I only have three people, and one of them never speaks in the UN, so... It'll be a hell of a lot quicker than Gruenberg... JEEZ...

[NSwiki entry (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Sammy_Faisano)]

Age: 24
Birthplace: Basin City, K.M.D.
Family: Sammy loves his grandma very much. He's also got a mom, somewhere; right about now she's probably working some streetcorner. What? She's a beat cop. Sammy's dad ran off when he was little, leaving him to help Mom raise his baby sister. Oh, yeah, and he's got an annoying little sister, who's always borrowing Sammy's money, and his shoes, and his clothes, and his car, and his netted pantyhose and stilhetto heels. What? He's a "Rocky Horror" fan.
Education: Earned his baccalaureate in international relations from Summit City Liberal College just last year; currently pursuing a master's in international relations at Paradise City University.
Employment: Currently a second lieutenant in the Federal Republic Army's 51st Airborne Division; formerly ambassador-at-large, acting ambassador to Gruenberg, MTV VJ, Antigone's Morgan's poolboy, then her lotion boy while at the Kenny Government Resort on Tiki Taki, personal assistant to the President John Thorne, Pizza Hut delivery boy
Background: Sammy's just a regular guy. Is shy around girls, necessitating fellow State Department employees to fix him up with friends, all of whom have "a great personality!" His no-good stoner college buddies still hang around him, 'cause he's the only one who bothered to get a job. Goes into a violent rage at the mere mention of the Wayans Bros. Is deathly afraid of postage stamps.
Politics: Conservative partisan and State Department hack. Strongly in favor of gun rights, gay rights, and the war on terror, though he more favors Alex Tehrani's diplomatic approach over Charlie Valentine's insane saber-rattling. Suspected Tehrani puppet, though he only met the secretary a few weeks ago.
Titles: Current: Ambassador to the United Nations; 2LT FRA. Former: Ambassador-at-Large, "Deputy Ambassador to Tiki Taki" (when he was Morgan's lotion boy)
Responsibilities: Chief spokesman for the Federal Republic for floor debates and drafting sessions; will also be in charge of proposal drafting and lobby strategy

Once said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Destructor, sir; I was willing to pull your finger, but frankly you're starting to scare the hell outta me!" (and promptly raced out of the president's office) --upon meeting Manuelo Fernanda for the first time, after accidentally pressing a button that dimmed the lights, played Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" on the sound system, and revealed a king-size bed behind the wall

Deputy Ambassador - Jessie McArthur (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a118/teddygrahams113/clip_image008-1.jpg)
[NSwiki entry (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Jessie_McArthur)]

Age: 30
Birthplace: Polykha, Loch Ness
Family: The only family that she's ever had is her seven horny brothers and a drunk-ass dad; he needed money so he put her on the street; everything was going fine until the day she met me ... and so forth.
Education: Who knows? She might have graduated high school.
Employment: Playboy Playmate; co-host of popular MTV-OMGTKK dating show "Who Wants to Get Laid?"
Background: Her TV show was cancelled five years ago and she personally got the boot from MTV a year later after performing obscene acts with a microphone on live camera; to this day she hangs around MTV studios, constantly harassing the execs and the people who still actually have jobs there. President Fernanda appointed her deputy ambassador as a favor to the network.
Politics: Who cares? [lifts top] Pass the whipped cream! Whooooooo!!!!!!!
Titles: Miss Loch Ness 1994; former Michael Douglas' Shockingly Young Mistress of the Moment [terrifying shudder!]
Responsibilities: Eye candy; being irreverent and obnoxious; shocking fellow delegates; saying stuff nobody else was thinking; upstaging Sammy; screaming "Whoooooo!!!" a lot
Interests: She's been stalking "Smallville's" Tom Welling for the past three years, and fully plans to exploit her newfound diplomatic immunity to violate a standing restraining order he has against her.
Once said: "I have a tattoo of you on my ass!" --upon meeting President Fernanda the first time

Secretary of State - Alex Tehrani (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a118/teddygrahams113/Ali_Daei011.jpg)
[NSwiki entry (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Alex_Tehrani)]

Age: 34
Birthplace: Paradise City
Family: Not much is known about them; his parents are thought to be refugees from Eecopeouioieoaia
Education: Holds a useless baccalaureate degree in physics from Cartman College
Employment: His college degree reaping him no gainful employment, Tehrani has been switching careers like no one's business for the past decade. For some inexplicable reason he can't hold down a job, and he'll probably lose this one before long -- which is a shame, since he's clearly the most competent official in the entire OMGTKK government.
Background: Renaissance man; willing to try anything once. In fact, vicious rumors have circulated as to the kinds of films he was willing to do to make ends meet before he became successful. Lucky for Alex, none of these films have been found. Tehrani got his current job by streaking a women's society luncheon for now-President Fernanda's amusement. (There are four basic words/terms that tend to be cited ad nauseam in reports from the Federal Republic, and consequently will help one understand everything he needs to know about Kennyite society: "streak," "thong," "wedgie," and "tattoo on the ass.")
Politics: Sovereigntist scum, but a lot more diplomatic about it than other Kennyite officials. Steadfast in his loyalty to President Fernanda and the Conservative Party.
Titles: Although now he's secretary of state, he was also Miss Omigodtheykilledkenny 1996. (He succeeded Max Barry.)
Responsibilities: Oversight; speaking for the Federal Republic on major votes or legislation upon which the Fernanda Adminstration places special interest
Interests: Torturing gnomes; boxing promotion; Xtreme Sports
Once said: "I have a tattoo of you on my ass!" --upon meeting Catherine Gratwick for the first time

Security Attaché - Cmdr. Jenny Chiang (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a118/teddygrahams113/kessler071.jpg)

Age: 27
Birthplace: Medina, McCormick
Family: The oldest (and most endowed) of five girls, her parents naturally had high hopes for her.
Education: Medina High School ROTC program; Cleavage Heights Military Academy; Madame Clarisse's School of Modern and Exotic Dance
Employment: "My game is national defense: 'To protect and secure the Federal Republic, by any obscene act necessary.'"
Background: She likes to dress in tight clothing and show her boobs a lot; she was a natural for her current career choice. She is a decorated veteran of the Tiki Taki invasion (she took down 16 natives with no more than slingshot and velcroed jumpsuit over a camoflauge bikini) and of the Kawaiian Kitten Revolution (25 confirmed kitty-cat kills).
Politics: A rabid sovereigntist and neoconservative who advocates strong and effective international security treaties; strongly supported the UN Demining Survey and both anti-terrorism bills, and spoke for the Federal Republic on the more recent one. Spoke out in favor of the invasion of Chechnya.
Titles: In recognition of past service to her country, Navy Lt. Chiang was afforded the rank of Commander and assigned to head mission security in March 2006; to that end, she enjoys correcting insufferables who have the nerve to call her "Miss (or Ms.) Chiang": "That's Commander Chiang to you, buddy!"
Responsibilities: Coordinates mission security policy and heads the mission's security detail; serves as a kind of special legislative liaison for international security matters; also OMGTKK's primary representative to the UN Defense Convention
Interests: Artillery; small arms; stripping; sexual asphyxiation; catfights; showing up CPESL officers.
Once said: "We're not baking cookies here; we're crafting international law, and there's no reason on Earth why we shouldn't express the positions of our respective governments with all due clarity, and bluntness. ... You wanna make friends? Go visit the Strangers' Bar -- and as long as we're tossing out clichés, if ya can't take the heat, buddy, get the fuck out of the kitchen!" --on decorum, uttered to a whiner during the UNCTI debate

Age: 127
Birthplace: Showroomtown, HotRodia
Family: Long dead.
Education: Degrees in sociology, anthropology, political theory, economics, and philosophy from the various institutions around HotRodia that would have him.
Employment: Full-time student of life. Currently being paid to represent HotRodia in the United Nations.
Background: He can't remember most of it, and what he does remember is either horribly boring or explains one of the scars on his body.
Politics: Turn-On
Titles: Representative for the Ministry of Hospitality to the United Nations, Official Chile-Eating Contest Administrator
Responsibilities: Beating the bush, propogandizing, eliminating courtesy (except when the mood strikes him to be nice), and staying alive.

First post spiffied up. Introduce your ambassador to the United Nations in style.

Very nice, Kenny. Looking to have another feature in a sticky, are you? ;)

Doctor Denis Leary
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/Tindalos/UN/doctor.jpg

Age: 49
Birthplace: The Warrens, Chiba City, The Hack
Family: Inconsequencial. Only child.
Education: Received his medical degree from Chiba City University's School of Medicine with a specialization in Psychiatry.
Employment: The Hack's ambassador to the UN.
Background: Had a reasonably lucrative private practice but didn't achieve national attention until he released his controversial, but highly popular, "Shut The Fuck Up" method. This method spawned numerous books and audio recordings, despite the fact that the method included little more than Dr. Leary screaming "Shut the fuck up!" His acerbic attitude and condescending manner brought him to the attention of Dr. Josef Specter (the Nominal Head of the Oligarchy), who offered him an assignment to the UN. Since Dr. Leary was suffering from a rather acute case of laryngitis, he accepted the post. Once he realised how little work was actually required, he decided to stay on.
Politics: In keeping with the Hack's record levels of apathy, he doesn't much care for the most part. When pressed he defines himself as a libertarian national sovereignist.
Titles: Doctor; Ambassador; Lord of the Dance
Responsibilities within the UN Office: All official statements are cleared by, and written by him. He doesn't have the budget for assistants.
Interests: Alcohol, cigarettes, hookers, whippets, verbally abusing representatives and patients.
Once said: "Why hate someone for the color of their skin when there are much better reasons to hate them?"


Father Guido Sarducci
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/Tindalos/UN/FatherGuidoSarducci.jpg

Age: 63
Birthplace: A small farming establishment just north of Chiba City
Family: Remarkably large for the Hack, but rather reasonable considering he was born on a farm that wasn't automated.
Education: None. It is believed his ordination may have been a sham.
Employment: SortaVoice of the Moral Majority
Background: Much of his history is unknown as he was "off the system" for much of his life, and never felt the need to tell anybody about his past. What is known, however, is that his constant babbling on public access television and on street corners was really damn irritating. He was shipped off to the UN partially to get rid of him, and partially to irritate Dr. Leary and make him even more of an asshole.
Politics: Your guess is as good as mine. Believed to be pro-theocracy
Titles: Father; SortaVoice of the Moral Majority
Responsibilities within the UN Office: None officially. Typically chimes in on when religious or moral topics come up.
Interests: Smoking, Celebrity gossip, granting people Popeship.
Once said: "Hey, I like'a you! I'm'a makin' you a Pope'a for tha' day!"

OOC: I need to update Alfred Sweynsson's NSwiki entry, and the list in this thread's first post needs updating too, to reflect the fact that he now (officially) represents the St Edmundan Antarctic rather than St Edmund itself...

Puppets are not listed in this directory. Unless SEA is a completely independent nation, you're stuck being listed under St Edmund. (And yes, I am quite aware that St Edmund, while no longer a colony of Godwinnia, is actually a member of the Godwinnian Commonwealth, but for purposes of this forum, we all know you as St Edmund, so that's who you're listed as.)

Also, The Most Glorious Hack has been added (take that, Norderia! :p), under M. If you'd rather I listed it under H, I can change it.

One last thing: The former directory listed deputy ambassadors, but the way this new list is formatted, it's not really possible. Right now, you'll just have to add them on to the wiki list (and/or your Jolt posts), but until I can figure a way to squeak deputies in, only the main ambassadors will be listed.

Nah, 'M' is proper. It's just a pain in the ass to write the whole, stupid name, which is why I usually shorten it. Something you may be familiar with ;)

You still there Tzorsland? Can I ask a question? I noticed the Meddling Monk bears the title "President of Tzorsland." So who runs the government? The Monk or the Master? Does the Master just think he's in charge?

OOC: Current government is the Monk is "President" and the Master is "Prime Minister." The Monk managed to convince the Franciscan Friars of Tzorsland that he would be a good president because friars should be out with the people and monks are more suitable to being cloistered within the halls of government. Once he got to the UN, the Master, after the somewhat bizzare non war against a land locked nation who will remain nameless, decided to deal with the daily issues directly and leave the running of the UN to the Monk, who turned into a recluse when Davane got the Niftyonia deligate status.

Actually the Monk doesn't realize that he is no longer making daily decisions for Tzorsland, and he probably doesn't care all that much. I'm slowing moving Tzorsland in a direction based on my experience in India, so being in the UN is probably better than being in Capital City in Tzorsland. On the other hand, to make thing even stranger, I might even have a "Return of the King" the mostly ceremonial King from the land before Tzor who returns to the palace at Eyesore (a play on words from Mysore India) around October to perform a lot of cereminies and look impressive in front of various dignitaries.

Are you an image leech, Kenny?

Bump for updating and for anybody who wants to add theirs.

I finally got a wiki entry up for mine.

I need someone to teacheth me to use the wiki, so I can doodle up my page.

I'll write more after work. I've had some time to flesh out The Stout and Juhani.

Yeah, your characters ought to make for some interesting wiki material. It's pretty easy; if you can handle forum markup you can handle wiki markup (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/NSwiki:Page_editing). I've tried summarizing the need-to-know markup details here (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Antarctic_Oasis/index.php?showtopic=7&view=findpost&p=5429682). If it doesn't help, meh, at least I tried.

Dioce wiki added, and as far as I know, everyone else is accounted for on the list as well. Side-note: at the risk of overloading the system, if any of you want to start/update your wiki, now's the time to do it, since it's been behaving rather (uncharacteristically) well over the past couple weeks.

[EDIT: Altanar (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Altanar_UN_Mission) added too.]

UN Ambassador for Bahgum
Sir Albert of Bahgum
Age: hard to tell
Born: Oooop North

Bahgums ambassador to the UNis almost always found in the strangers bar . sually almost oblivious to anything going on around him unless it disturbs the enjoyment of his latest drink. Rare moments of lucidity may see him playing pool or even to wander into a thread discussion and get completely the wrong end of the stick, based solely on an ambiguous thread title. Sir Albert has a habit of speaking in strong Northernish, regardless of the audience, although those wise enough to interpret him, will discover the underlying charm, humour and flashes of insight which have enabled him to maintain a prominent position at the bar.
Is widely known as the only male alive who can give orders to the feared Bahgumian mother in law detachment, something even the Glorious Leader cannot manage.

She was tapped by then Governor Ashloiren Silverblade, to represent her home district of Springforest on the Drae Nei Inter-district Relations Council to the President (DNIRCP), where she remained for the next seven years. Following this, she returned DNUS to complete her Doctorate, and then returned to government work as the Chief of Staff for Vice President Silverblade.

Politics: She is politically and religiously, a centrist. Personally (and nationally) she supports equal rights for all, regardless of race, gender, age, choice of mood altering agent, or sexual preference (a term she disagrees with, since she believes it’s not a preference but a predetermined outcome at birth). Above all, she holds the wellbeing of all peoples as sacrosanct.
