This just in: President J.L., a long-time bachelor, and Prime Minister Eva, of the Free Land of Lady Eva, are to be married tomorrow at the Holier-than-thou Divinely-protected Theocratic Chapel of Roach-Busters. All national leaders are invited to attend. Invitations will be wired to all allies shortly. Please come if you can! And if you'd like, we can even provide transportation or, at the very least, cover the expenses of traveling here. Our nation is quite safe, and there will be more than 25,000 guards in the chapel, more than 7,500 secret service agents, and more than 50,000 troops and 1,000 tanks surrounding the chapel to ensure that nothing happens. Oh yeah, did I mention there'll be cake?

President Vincent Michael George of Grenval shall be there, and will provide planes for airborne defense if requested.

Thank you! Look forward to seeing you there!

CM Premier Curtis Fabus is currently occupied but he sends a gift in the form of 1 billion dollars cash in the trunk of a newly made 1979 Cadillac Eldorado (the leadership in my nation just loves the Eldorado). Since they're the leaders, they get any car they want made for them by the car companies :)

Thank you very much! We're deeply sorry you can not attend, but the gifts are much appreciated, and for that, you have our thanks. Hey, while we're at it, want to exchange embassies?

Okay. The Premier would attend but CM has a mafia problem, the premier is in something of "poor health", he is having family issues, the country has other issues also.

"Okay...I'm getting sent to a wedding where?" the athletic blond asked her swordmaster...

The older brunette looked back from her closet at the Markgravine sitting on the bed.
If someone could tell me that the youngest daughter of his Grace was going to throw a hissy fit every time her father sent her on a diplomatic task I'd have committed sepaku... she thought...although a small voice in the back of her head added...Your an Alconian swordmaster, not a jap samuri...no sepaku for you...

"Roach-Busters..."

"Why am I getting sent to the land of the Orkin man?" The blond asked as she looked at what her swordmaster thought was a nice evening dress. The Markgravine tried not to turn up her nose in disgust.

"What is an Orkin?..never mind...can I just say Nekoa Bay?"

"Ah yes, my horrid little adventure in diplomacy..."

"You poisoned a fellow Klatchian Delegation member!"

"Who was drunk, it was supposed to be a sleeping daught, and in reality peace was unlikley to occur with that Sithirl's interference."

Ah, this is landmine territory girl, this is a Crawford your dealing with, avoid matters of the elf queen at all costs... the swordmaster's little voice cried out.

"Well now your getting your punishment, just don't well, let this turn into another diplomatic disaster..."

"How?"

"With you there is no telling what could happen..."

Josef Lobonsky watched the proceedings with mild interest, laughing quietly as his aide leaned over and whispered, "I thought he was gay."

High Chairman Octo von Strausser of the People's Republic of Octovonia will be delighted to attend the ceremony and any after party. He would also like to challenge any other heads of state to a shot-contest if they are willing to survive the political and media scandal afterwards. As a wedding present, the High Chairman is sending a 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III from his personal collections.

King Mizraim Calah III would like to send his best wishes to the two parties involved, but will not be attending due to the large military force that will be in the area. Instead he will send an aid to the wedding with a gift of ten thousand dollars.

OOC: Would you be willing to have a contest with just a lowley territorial governor?

Why we forgot the present. To make up for that, we will drop one hundred million dollars from each of the one hundred planes we are sending for protection.

Our beloved Emperor, Maderic Thra, unfortunatly cannot attend. However, he feels compelled to send his younger sister, Kressi Thra -- our Magistrate of State -- to this party in comphensation. MagState Thra will be accompianied by her own group of Imperial Royal Gaurds (picture Cobra Crimson Gaurds, if you know what those are....if not, Google Image Search is your friend :) ) for her protection. She will arrive via his own private jet which will depart from Zachara Imperial Airport. She looks forward to attending.

EDIT: We regret to inform you that Magistrate of Foreign Affairs, Kircer Danton, has become too caught-up in his current work to take any luxery time off. The Emperor still wishes to strengthen ties between the UEC and Roach-Busters, so he will be sending his younger sister, Magistrate of State, Kressi Thra, in Danton's place....

The Presidente and Councilari can not attend this great event although they deeply regret it, they have sent the following gifts:
Truitti Seal of Memoria (A box of Truitti-Made Caramel Filled Chocolates)
Glass Swam (Although the Presidente hates swans becouse they attack him)
Bag of Mixed-Color Roses (Exception of Black)
1 Year Long pass to Windsong for two (Resort city, very large and is a Vega/L.A. mix)

Congratulations!!

Due to our involvement in the conflict with Hogsweat, we are unable to attend at this time. However, 300 lbs. of our special hashish brownies are being delivered via UPS overnight for the enjoyment of the guests at the reception.

His Royal HIGHness,
King 'Lude II

"Unfortunately the President of the United States of Canada will not be able to make it to your wedding after the terrrorist attacks over a week ago. Though he sends his best wishes and, three limited Canadan gold coins."

Jerry McIntyre, Special Assistant to the President
United States of Canada

We are unhappy to announce that Emperor Vladimir Kreschnev II, himself, cannot attend, but he will be sending his son Leon Bartholomeau Kreschnev as a representative, along with a detachment of men from the Generian Imperial Intelligence agency to oversee security at the ceremonies.

Our Chief Public Servant Sasha Cheenin desires to attend; however, our Public Servant for Foreign Affairs, Maureen June, is unable to attend.

Unfortunately, all of our national leaders are occupied at the moment. We would like to congratulate you and your future consort on your consortship.

Included as a gift are four of our Mark I MBTs, complete with fully powered di-etheric cells and a load of shells. May they serve you as well as they have served our nation these thirty years.

Delivering them will be Major Lian Nash and Alchemist Sanel Rems

Sincerely,
Consul-General J. W. Gibbs

President Mike Sarzo looked at the invitation from Roach-Busters President J.L. and shook his head ruefully. He definitely wanted to attend the wedding because Roach-Busters and Sarzonia were developing a strong relationship and, besides, he loved a good party. However, events in the rest of the world weren't cooperating. He had a country in the middle of two wars and he figured slipping out to go to a wedding would be fodder for all the talk shows and tabloid newspapers to have a field day.

"Becky, please send a message sending my regrets, but please include a wish for the couple to have a long, happy marriage."

"I'll get on it, Mike."

Becky set to work typing the letter. She handed it to Sarzo and he signed the letter. Becky then went to the courier to get the letter to safe ground.

OOC: True, but I dont know. Deadly weapons or money, deadly weapons or money... I suppose in the end money always trumps violence.

OOC: An IC explanation for the present, sent along with the gift. Weyr's definition of diplomacy is basically 'go shove it and leave us alone'.
--------------------------

The Mark I MBT can outshoot, outrun, and outtarget the A1M2 Abrams. We of the High Guard have decided that after thirty years the Mark I deserves an honorable retirement, and have decided to purchase 30,000 MArk III MBTs over the next decade or so. So, we need to do -something- with the 10,000 Mark I tanks that will be de-comissioned and placed into warehouses.

Sincerely,
Major Lian Nash

OOC: So your giving a handme down to a foreign head of state?
What are you planning on them doing with it? (Putting in their front lawn, right between two nomes and a plastic flamingo)...letting them have a private armored division of one tank?

OOC: I'd gladly accept that gift :D

Ah my dear you realize that driving a tank is not like driving say a sportswagon? Now if you really want a private tank, I have a nice used Kobi I'll give you, it is only a light tank but does have the advantage of not tearing up your lawn quite so badly.

Official Statement from the Island of Rose:

Screw tanks, a plane is oh so much better. We'll donate a MiG 19, because we're too cheap to get you a good plane...
-Minister of Foreign Affairs: Rosta Einvach

I've found that pretty much every other tank gets fried within seconds of taking to Wye's Shadowside permacrete streets. I prefer a Bike myself. Faster and packs a mean punch. 200km/h without pushing the BAT is quite a good thing, you know. I've managed 250km/h a few times . . .

We're selling 10,000 Mark I's for $4.8mil each.

Oh I think we have been at somewhat cross communications again...after all the Kobi is designed for primarily amphipous and jungle warfare. I was advising someone else to get a very nice used Kobi rather than a full MBT for general use. And I doubt we would generally use most MBT's due to the nature of the United Duchies and our military needs.

"Ms. Cheenin, what will you be bringing as a present?"

"Hmm. . .where are they registered?"

"I don't know, Ms. Cheenin."

"Okay. . .how about a Royal Temme punchbowl and ladle?"

"Matching cups?"

"Yes. Thank you, Ms. Marsha."

Thank you very much, everyone!

The King Regrets that he is unable to be there however he is sending His Son Prince Jonathan to bring a gift both from the TBAalliance and From the people of The Holy Empire of Dailey. The gift from the Alliance is a Royal Hover craft. and the Gift from the People of Dailey is 30 tons of Gold.

Thanks!
