The flight from Iuthia to the Aztec National League had so far been something of a rest for Mick Lakely and his wife, Karen. Their seats were much more luxurious then the usual seats that Iuthia’s diplomatic planes had to offer and the refreshments were cool and refreshing, which was something of a surprise to Mick as his own military aircraft used for the usual affairs concentrated different values. However, today the Foreign Minister wasn’t riding in one of his own aircraft, but instead in a lower profile private jet owned by Karen, who owned a recreational drug company in the southern provinces of Iuthia.
The Iuthian security arrangements for the Inauguration ceremony of the Aztec Leader were reduced somewhat from the usual Iuthian standard, as the Aztecs may look down upon armed bodyguards and armoured car convoys in their cities. Now there were only a few security officials travelling with the Foreign Minister and they weren’t to attend the events themselves, they were to liaise with the Aztec and make sure that everything was running smoothly.
Now both Mick and his Wife sat next to one another on their private plane, only an hour or so away from Aztec airspace. Mick was looking out of the window sipping a cool glass of orange as Karen was reading up on the diplomatic file on Aztec National League itself, due to the lack of decent Iuthian Intelligence it didn’t have much more information then was publicly available, however it was pretty in-depth never the less.
“You know Mick...” Karen started, turning to Mick with a smile on her face. “Aztec National League looks to be beautiful nation at this time of the year, perhaps we could take a break there, see some of the sites, you know, something relaxing and away from uniform life of home.”
Karen had a taste for simple clothes; she rarely wore anything with too many colours or intricate patterns as she preferred to wear something which was beautiful without trying too hard. At the moment she simply wore a white dress with matching shoes and choker, it went well with her fair skin. Her elven ears were clearly visible as they peeked out from her long straight hair which flowed down her back, a river of hazel.
“It would be nice to have a break for a while, with all the mess with peace conference we are supposed to be running I would like to have somewhere to rest away from the squabbles, even if it’s only for a while.” Mick sighed, he had been leading Iuthia’s Diplomatic Corps for many years now and on the whole it had been a good experience, but most of it had been busy, even in this state of perpetual peace. “We’ll just have to see for ourselves if it lives up to expectations… I’ve never been to Aztec National League before and from what I’ve read they are a little different from ourselves.
“For one, they strongly believe in socialism to the point where they support any nation sporting the communist badge these days…something we ourselves are more cautious with. Otherwise they are like those we have been friendly to in the past, so it hasn’t affected our relationship.”
Foreign Minister Mick Lakely was a reasonably simple man, although simple isn’t the same as stupid, he preferred to use the simplest solution to a problem when it was possible, though these days seemed to be less simple then he would like them to be, with many nations declaring war over the smallest slight, it was hard to stay entirely simple when dealing with them. However, this wasn’t a problem now, he would be out of the nation for a while and he could leave many of these problems to his capable staff at home.
Mick himself was getting on to be in his early forties, a stark contrast from his wife, Karen who clearly looked to be in her mid-twenties, even though she was getting on to be three times his age. He was a cleanly shaven man who had retained his dignity while aging, he still had all of his hair and most of it still had it’s usual dark brown colour in it’s shortly cut military style. Mick kept good care of himself, especially with some of the previous encounters he had he intended to stay alive for sometime. Meanwhile he simply wore his usual suit which resembled a general uniform, but only slightly.
Both Karen and Mick had other formal wear for the event itself which was currently being held in the cargo bay, carefully hung up and protected for the occasion. They had made a point of booking a hotel for the engagement so that they may rest and get themselves ready without mussing themselves up on the way.
“I’m sure we will have a good time dear, lets just enjoy ourselves and give our respect to the leader of Aztec National League.” Karen finished, holding Mick’s hand.
The couple stepped off the gangway into the airport just after their private jet had landed safely in the Aztec National League, the flight was reasonable in comparison to other trips Mick had made in the past, the luxurious plane had made for an restful trip and had given the Foreign Minister a whole new respect for ergonomics.
As the two lovers came into the main terminal, Ambassador John Kenson came to meet the two in person. He was the Iuthian Ambassador to ANL and had made a point of travelling here early in order to arrange the stay personally and to work with their Aztec friends to smooth over any issues which may be raised, most notably security. John was human, unlike Karen, but he didn’t look much older then the elven celebrity and he wore the more uniform grey suit of the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps.
“I trust your flight was pleasant, Foreign Minister, Sir?” he asked in a calm formal manner.
“Yes John, thanks. Can we drop the formality; I’d like to get away from that while I’m out of the nation.” He replied pleasantly. “How has your stay been so far?”
“It’s been pretty interesting, the weather is wonderful, the sites are amazing and the people are pleasant and well meaning.” John answered with a smile, he hadn’t been here for long, but he enjoyed every minute of it.
“That sounds promising.” Mick flashed a smile as both Karen and John smirked. “Are we ready to make our way to the hotel?”
“Yes sir, we should have had your luggage loaded up into the taxi by now.”
“Thanks John. Lets make our way then; we wouldn’t like to be late.”
OOC Query: My assumption here is that no one is allowed to bring weapons into the event itself and that only Aztec security is permitted to have weapons at the event, with all other security having to either trust Aztec Security or have their men go un-armed.
I feel this is important because I've already noted nations who have failed to follow this in the past and my security liaison will be making it clear that while we would like to enjoy our event we aren't going to an Inauguration Ceremony with one of our VIP's if there is a chance that some whacko with a gun is nearby... we trust ANL security, our own will be liaising with them outside of the event to cover our concerns.
I normally wouldn't express the point like this, but I've seen enough threads get reduced into a fire fight because some idiot brought a weapon along.

Aimless sat on the plane with his advisors going over some last minute paper work. He was usally suppose to arrive in a Helicopter but unfoutranley the helicopter could not make the trip. After the work is all done Aimless looks out the window. He shivers a bit at there hieght. " I hate planes. I hate flying infact" Aimless distastfully said.
" Well sir your going to be alot of flying today. You have the peace confrence and you have to travel to all those citties" said his advisor.
" Please dont remind me" aimless responds.
Ploit: Sir we should be there in a few minutes. Buckle up please.

((OOC: ANL, take me out. I love you like a brother, but I have too many RPs at the moment, sorry :())
As Brutus Canfally recived the message from the captain he couldnt help but start to feel the anger which he had bottled for so many years. Why the hell did the emperor send me! the defence minister or even the cultural minister could of came, but no! he sends me Ah well I cant screw it up, I just cant!
As he got out of his chair, he started to make his way down the short corridor of the plane to Richard Turot. Along the way he started to think about his parents and how they still should've been alive,Damn socailist's he thought! Just then Richard called out to him from his office
Brutus come here and read this he says. As brutus made his way in he wondered what it would've been like to grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth and always just more or less ignored richard for this,
What is this he asked
Well I figured I'd make a small speech
Ahhhh no! You just stand there and smile ok
As richard started to ask why,brutus quickly cut him off and told him they were only there to open the door so to speak with regards to relations.
The emperors leaving you behind,then you can make all the speechs you want
As richard started to brag about how his posting was going to be so great,brutus slowly tuned him out and waited for the captain to anounce there landing....
This is the captain, please buckle up as we are begining are descent into tenochitilan
Shit that couldnt of been any slower Brutus thought!
As the plane touched town and aproached the terminal he quickly reminded richard of what he told him.
As the door opened he put on a fake smile and walked off the plane!

Very good point to address!
OOC stuff before I get to the IC stuff:
You are completely correct, the only people that will have any sort of weapon during the cerremony will be ANL security gaurds. For security's sake, each represenative will have 1 armed ISP Agent. Providing security for the cerremony itself will be the ANL's elite military group, the Jaguar Warrior Infantrymen, who will be armed, but their weapons will be completely consealed.
The policy on guns in the ANL is a bit restrictive, to say the least. Only police officers and military forces can have a gun. Regular civilians don't have guns. Even then, there will be no shoot outs.
((OOC: ANL, take me out. I love you like a brother, but I have too many RPs at the moment, sorry ))
No problem, it's ok. :D
AND FINALLY:
gonna do you a favor and bump it!!

Dr. Darius Wellington was feeling the pressure today. The Foriegn Affairs office was buzzing with energy. As he walked to his office, an aid came up and talked to him.
"Minister, we have information that Iuthia's delegates have arrived."
"Good, are they en route to their hotel?"
"Yes sir, they are on their way to (looks through some files he's holding)The Century Plaza Hotel, downtown sector."
"Excelent, great choice of hotel, send a diplomat to meet them."
"Yes Sir."
Dr. Wellington moves off and goes to his office.
The aid then dialed a number on his cell phone.
"Hello, this is Deputy Minister Thompson, send over a diplomat to the Century Plaza Hotel to greet the Iuthian delegates."
A very thin, medium height man sat infront of a computer. He was dressed up in a suit, waiting to be sent off for an assignment. He hasn't had much work since his work in TIOR several months back.
The phone rang, he picked it up.
"This is Jorge Martinez, Foriegn Ministry."
"This is Foriegn Ministry Central, you have a job. You are to greet the Iuthian delegates at the Centry Plaza Hotel."
"Understood, I'm on my way."
With that, he hung up and headed for his car. He would be at the hotel in 10 minutes.

A black car was parked on the airport tarmack, close to the Buben jet. Outside were two Foriegn Ministry officals. They saw the two delegates and waved to them. One of them said "Delegates of Buben, welcome to the ANL."
The two diplomats walked up to Brutus and Richard. The man who greeted them spoke again "My name is Atl, and this is my coleague Yoltzin, we are from the Foriegn Affairs Ministry. We will be taking you to your hotel."

Aimless weres a long trench coat that drags on the ground. He is wereing a black tie with a red shirt and a black pair of pants. His advisor id wereing a long red and white cloak. His face looks pale and old.
Aimless looks around impressed by the airports size.
Aimless: Hopefully our airport will be as good as this eh Kel??

A black car pulls up close to the plane, and it's driver exits the car. This time, the Deputy Minister gets out of the car and speaks to the two men.

Understood, we shall have transportation waiting for her.
The President of Dhabi and he closest advisors want to make this trip. We ask is there space for him to make a quick speech. We don't know what the major language is spoken in your country but President Davis speaks English. The president will be arriving by Dhabi One and two military transport planes carring the motorcade a day before the inauguration but me must ask if our planes can enter your airspace. Also he will be there to cut the ribbon to the new embassy. We hope this is not a problem.

You are welcomed to come to the inauguration. Your planes may indeed enter our airspace. Since you have military planes escorting you, we request that you military planes arive at Tenochitilan Aircore base. Dhabi 1 may land at Tenochitilan International, on Runway 2, Terminal 2.
In regards to the language situation, most of the people in our nation do speak english, as it is taught to everyone in primary and secondary education.
Also, your request to make a speech is also granted.
We thank you can can not wait to meet the new leader and the great people of this country.

A Patoxian Foreign Ministry modified An-12 landed at Veracruz International Airport and docked at it's terminal. A few minutes later, Ambassador Tawadi Xindchi Tagoga stepped out into the terminal proper dressed in a white diplomatic uniform, a white long sleeve jacket extending to about halfway down the thigh with a hawk embroidered on the front in red with other designs in brown, white pants, white shoes, and a sword at his side. In addition Xindchi wore the red cape of the Tawadi at his back. On his head was a large stiff headband with a single large white feather rising majestically up from it's front. Following him a slightly older Russian man wearing an obnoxiously loud Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts, clutching a glass of lemonade in the other strode out. "Ah, da ANL! Dis brings back memories!", the man in the Hawaiian shirt declared.
"Krushkin, This isn't a holiday we have work to do here." Xindchi admonished.
"Dot won't take up all the time, Comrade. Where's yor sense of fun?"
The rest of the delegation came out dressed similarly to Xindchi with brown ravens embroidered on the front of their shirts in place of Xindchi's red hawk and none of them wore capes.

In the limo, Dr. Darius Wellington recived a phone call. He grabbed the phone.
"Hello, this is Wellington."
On the other line, an aid spoke "Sir, the Patoxians are here. They have several delegates with them."
Dr. Wellington smilied and said "Excelent, send a delegate and a car to pick them up." He then hung up.
Immediatly, a car was dispatched to pick up the Patoxian.
We thank-you for the warm welcome and look forward to are stay, We hope the ride to hotel isnt to short as we wish to see a small part of your city Brutus motonied for his bags to be put into the car as the four made small talk near the car. Once the bags were loaded Brutus askedShall we go then?
Aztec National League
06-11-2004, 00:03
This is towards Buben:
The bags were put in the trunk of the car and closed it. Atl then opened the door for the delegates and said "No, we are not planning on going directly to the hotel. It's our custom to show foriegn visitors around our capital. We'll take you to the hotel afterwards.
As two Dhabian Air force C-17?s touch down at Tenochitilan Aircore base, Dhabi One is taking off from Wilmore Air Force Base in Dhabi.These two special C-17 are carrying the motorcade that will be transporting President Davis to the hotel and the inauguration. As the planes come to a stop the doors on the plane are open every quickly and Secret Service agents disembark from the plane a go looking for the Agent in Change on the Aztec side. While Dhabi SS Agent Hillcrest shakes the hand of Aztecs SS agent, the suburbans and the two twin limos are being brought off the plane the Aztec agent can?t help to notice the big boxes that are being carried out every time a car come out. Hillcrest see the agent looking and says that is a mobile command unit that will be in the hotel rooms next to the President and it also carries gun that will only use in the motorcade, hotel stay and the opening of the embassy when we are at the inauguration they gun will be handed over to you guys until it?s over. We also ask if we can have two agents sitting directly behide President Davis while he is here. The Aztec Agent says I?ll look in to that, Hillcrest says thanks and turns back to the planes to help finish unloading as Dhabi One is only 2 hours out and the trip to Tenochitilan International is along one since all the other leader arriving. 3 hours later Dhabi One finally touches down the President disembarks and runs over to the crowds and shakes there hands and then meet with the other leaders for a brief min before they are all rush to there cars and then to the Tenochitilan Marriott. http://www.azwingwaxers.com/C-17%20pic2.jpg http://www.airplanephotos.de/Photogallery/747/29261_2.jpg
Getting out of the luxurious armoured car, Mick Lakely and his wife walked towards The Century Plaza Hotel getting little attention from the local populace... though Karen's elven apperance did attract one or two looks from people.
Once they entered the Hotels large reception, with the Iuthian Ambassidor to ANL following close behind, they were approached by Jorge Martinez, a diplomat from Aztec Nation League who had been sent to great them.
Mick nodded to the man in recognition as he approached.
OOC: I imagine you want to keep this brief so feel free to move this along if you want... otherwise we'll loose people over the long delays of RPing everyone getting in.
We don't need all these formalities... I just wanted to be impressive.
Oh, and can others drop the huge pictures. I don't mind the odd picture so long as it's small enough not to stretch the screen.
Aztec National League
06-11-2004, 01:40
This is towards Iuthia:
Jorge Martinez was a relativly young person, only about 32, he was already a veteran diplomat. The lanky Martinez was highly respected by his peers in the Diplomatic Core. He came up and extended his hand to Mick Lakely and said "Hello, I'm Jorge Martinez, Foriegn Affairs Ministry Diplomat."
The hotel itself was very old but grand. Aged marble tiles created a floor and walls. It's high arched celling was also had a religious mural on it - suprising for the passionatly socialist country. A fountain in the middle gushed water out and into it's basin just to repeat the cycle.
Jorge said to Mr. Lakely "It's good to have you in the ANL. The Premier is glad to see a represenative from an ally come to the inauguration. Is there anything you or your guest needs or wants to know?"
Neo-Soviet Russia
06-11-2004, 02:03
(OOC: Sorry about not posting until today. PT mixed with soreness, tiredness, and lazyness..yub yub.)
Eyes glanced out the window and over the water. The Premier of Neo-Soviet Russia looked over the warm blue of the Gulf below him. Something about the view irked him, something about the ride. Then again past experiences in the back of military transports as a soldier didn't exactly help him when it came to flying. That combined with the fact that the very plane he was in at the moment was a C-17 converted for use by government officials...he would deffinetly be glad when the plane made it to the mainland.
"Sir, we're be arriving within the next thirty minutes."
A small smirk crossed the man's lips for a moment before nodding. A 'thank you' was all Adin said. That was the good thing about the capital being in Cuba. When it came to meet allied lands such as the Aztec National League and Communist Louisiana, the hop wasn't too long.
---
"Think there'll be any problems?"
A shake of the head and a smile was Phillip Jansen's initial reply before lips parted.
"It's ANL...nothing'll happen."
"You sure?"
"I'm sure. Trust me..don't worry about it. You sound like you just signed up and just got out of Basic. I know you're new but...just don't worry."
Amusing it was, Jansen thought, someone that had been through so much training was somehow nervous. Nervous about a diplomatic venture to a good allie at that. How'd this guy make it through basic, combat, and force? Shrugging, the man gave his new associate a pat on the shoulder then a small squeeze.
"We're just going to play escort and guard dogs around the hotel. Us combined with ANL security, there won't be a problem."
Nodding, Nickolas Cole gave a small smile.
"Now..."
Jansen paused before stepping back.
"...we need to get out suits on."
---
10 minutes later...
The pilot and copilot looked over digital readouts, checking and double checking, then checking their position against a custom laser display. Checking once more the pilot, a Tristan Shore, shifted in his seat, grabbing the microphone then leaning back in his seat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will be arriving at Tenochiltilan International within the next couple of minutes. With that said I ask that all passengers sit if you're not doing so already doing so and give us just a few moments."
Killing the transmission to the intercom system, Shore tossed the mic to his copilot.
"Get Air Control on the horn and let them know we're coming in."
Leaning to take care of radio channels, the copilot then went about calling out to Air Control Tower.
(OOC: I figured a small entourage with three or four serving as light security wouldn't be too harmful to the topic in regards to security. And sorry for the poor RPing...I really need to get back into writing.)
OOC- I dont wish to be labeled a godmoder so I will wait till your guys say we are at the hotel! :)
Mick took Jorge's hand and with a firm grip he shook hands. He then looked over the young man, though the it was an inaccurate desciption of the ANL diplomat, Iuthia's own Ambassadors varied greatly in age but some of them were in their late twenties given the extensive effeciency of Iuthia's Diplomatic Corps in these more recent times. Mick himself was getting on a bit but he had retained his looks despite his age. Now he measured up this senior diplomat, taking particular note to the word "ally".
"It's good to be here too, Jorge. Though I can't help but feel you give us too much honor when you refer to us as you're 'allies'. Iuthia hasn't got any official alliance with the Aztec National League, we concider ourselves to be friends if anything."
He then gave a friendly laugh as though the matter wasn't too important and continued. "We're quite alright for the moment, thanks. We would just like to take this time to relax before the big day... unless you have any 'business' you would like to talk about that is."
Karen herself was shorter then the two men due to her elven qualities, however she had already gotten used to this. She simply waited as the two men got the business out of the way.
(OOC: Stupid note, but I expect that the hotels security is pretty extensive...)

LOCATION: Tenochitlian Air Control
A radar/radio operator looked at the screen blankly. He has been working for several straight hours, and although his shift was going to be ending soon, it couldn't come soon enough. At this time, there were only 4 operators in the tower. (Although that number is small, that's because the night shift isn't on duty for a bit.)
The lonely quietness was inturupted by a gasp of suprise. A large blip appeared on the screen. He turned around and got the attention of his manager.
"Huitzel, their's a large blip incomming, north eastern orgin."
The manager walked over and looked over the operator's shoulder. It was a large blip indeed. The operator spoke again "I'm getting radio communications from the plane...they are requesting landing...delegates from Neo-Sovet Russia."
The manager stepped back and smilied. "Alright, give them permission to land at..."
The manager walks over to a wall where a group of charts of the airport are. He flips through them and finally says
"Tell them to land on runway 1, and head to Terminal 1."

This is to Iuthia
"Ahh, you're correct. There are no alliances between our two nations. However, the ANL has always had a very favorable opinion of Iuthia. Well, since there are no pressing matters at the second, I guess I shall leave you to rest. However, when he is availble, I will get Dr. Wellington and possibly Premier Quetzalcoatl to meet you, if you wish."
OOC: Security at this particular hotel is high, but unobtrusive. The Century Plaza and the Starlight Vila are the main two hotels the government uses for diplomats.

With that, Atl and Yoltzin both got in the car and turned on the engine, they drove off on to the road leading from the airport and headed towards the freeway.
Yoltzin asked Brutus and Richard "So do you have any questions or want to know anything?"
OOC: I don't mind high security, in fact I almost demand high security because Mick Lakely is the Lord Generals right hand man and a close friend. I use him more then I use the Lord General these days.
"I would find that most agreable. If Dr. Wellington would like to have some people call to give me information on such a meeting when he's a avialable I would be thankful."
Mick and his wife then say their goodbyes and head towards the lift to make up for some of the jet lag.

Brutus replied I wish to know your views on Imperialism, and if you really feel are two countrys could work together?
When he was finished Richard asked Will there be fine ladies and lots of good drink?
Of course brutus was miffed but he didnt let it show and richard let his question stand to be answered.

Hearing Brutus's question, Yoltzin responded:
"The ANL has never been an imperalist country, and with it's current government, is unlikely to be one any time soon. There was only one time in our country when we did annex land - Guatamala, Honduras and the Yucatán Penensula, however, it was not through the military, it was through a democratic process."
"About international cooperation," Atl continued, "We strongly believe in cooperation, as our nation as been saved twice by international help. However, our Foriegn Affairs minister is very selective of who we work with and who we support."
Upon hearing Richard's question, Atl chuckled and said "Well, in terms of drinks, the ANL's second largest export is alcholic beverages, so our dirnks are in demand. And in terms of women...Well, I don't know how the rest of the world sees them, but I think we have some fine ladies."
OOC: In a couple of posts, we'll get to the actual inauguartion. I was just trying to get as many people who signed up to get on to the thread.

OOC: Let's start. Note, this is a bit before my conflict with AL.
INAUGURATION DAY...
Location: Downtown Tenochitilan, on the steps of the Grand Union Chambers...
Soviet Congressman Jorge Arroyo walked out to a central podium and looks out over the crowd. Some estimates are at 50,000 people. The foriegn delegates are well protected, sitting in front of the stage. Several JWIs and police officers are there, being unobtrusive but vigilant.
Jorge Arroyo, only 44, was the highest ranking Congressman in the Congress. He was also immensly popular among the people. He smiled and began by saying,
"My friends, my friends, I am Soviet Congressman Jorge Azhultan Arroyo, Chief Majority Congressman and host of this inauguration. Today, we are convined together to witness the 2nd inauguration of Premier Quetzalcoatl, as leader of the The Democratic Proletariat Union of Aztec National League.
This second term for Quetzalcoatl marks the beginning of a new age for the Union. This also will be a beginning of a new constituion of the Aztec National League. The days ahead look bright and our nation, our Union, will be great. We shall promote our beliefs while making peace with the world. This is our moment to sieze.
So, without further ado, we shall begin the cerremonies. Our first speaker is one of our most loyal and revered figures. This man has dedicated his life to the ANL and has served it well and will continue to serve it well. I present to you, Dr. Darius Wellington, Foriegn Affairs Minister of the ANL."
Aztec National League
11-11-2004, 04:09
The crowd cheered as Jorge Arroyo finished and Dr. Wellington took the stage. Although not even remotely Aztec, Dr. Wellington was also immensly popular in the ANL. People saw his British nature as charming. They also respected him for being a good offical. In his cockney accent, Dr. Wellington began his speech.
"Hello and welcome to the inauguration, I'm honoured to be speaking here today. I have commited my life to this country and I am damn proud of it. The ANL represents so much to me and is a great country. I feel that, under the leadership of Premier Quetzalcoatl, we shall enter a new era a glory.
Now, there was a time where the core values of the ANL seemed to be challenged. However, those days have long past.
Now, we are facing a new challenge. We must stay true to the beliefs of our people and maintain peace with the world. Some might say this would be a hard task, but it's one I know we can achive.
Under our Premier, we are heading in the right direction. His plan for our future shall make this country great and we will prosper. Quetzalcoatl has been putting his life on the line for our freedom, our liberty and our system since he was 15. Clearly, his loyalty to the ANL and it's people is strong.
These upcomming years shall be very sucessful for us. We will be at peace and we will work for peace. Already, our economy has jumped and is getting better. Unemployment is down and things are looking very good and bright.
We are on the right track, and Quetzalcoatl will keep us there."

Mick Lakely (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Iuthia/Characters/MickLakely.jpg) and his elven wife, Karen (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Iuthia/Characters/Karen.jpg) clapped after hearing the speach. Of course they had a nice enough position a little away from the crowds in a more secure area as they watched.
The speach was nice enough, it wasn't as stirring as he expected, but it was filled with good intent and national pride... it was all you could ask for at an event like this.
OOC: Sorry if it seems to be a little RP too late... I am willing to RP in this as long as you are willing to continue, even if others are not. Though at the moment my writers block isn't helping any...
Aztec National League
13-11-2004, 02:37
Jorge Arroyo came back to the stage and thanked Dr. Wellington. He then went up to the microphone and said "With that first speech done, we shall move on to the next. Our next speaker has been another man who has dedicated himself to the ANL. He served in the revolution, and then after, the Red Gaurd. He became the Minister of War after the tragic assasination of the first Minister. I present to you Chief Warrior-General Tlanextic."
The crowds appluaded, but not as loudly as they did with Dr. Wellington. The middle aged General walked up to the microphone and began to speak.
"With me speaking here, I know many might think I'm going to take a hawkish position.
Well, our culture has had a long assosiation with war. Our ancestors built their culutre and religion upon it, and our nation was born from the fire of war and we have had two major rebellions. However, despite what war has played in our lives, we must realize that we can live in peace.
I must say, I am happy that as the Minister of War, I'm not busy. That is the trend we will continue to see. We shall see our nation take steps to make us more peaceful. I am a strong advocate against the use of weapons of mass destruction. I see them as dishonorable and cowardly things. Not only will our standing in the international community be improved, with that money freed up, we shall be able to help the people and fight the scourages of proverty, poor education, illness and inequality, not only in our nation, but throughout the world.
Now, when I saw that, I'm not saying through the use of the military, but rather, through the use of diplomacy and peace. The ANL has always prefered the olive branch to the sword, the treaty to the assult rifle, and that will continue, but in this new term, the ANL will become a philontropist nation.
Now, with the beginning of this new term, some people say this is just going to be more of the same. Not only will it be more of the same, but we will go beyond what we did in the past. I feel comfortable in saying this next term will be one of empowerment, not to a few, but to all people. We will expand and protect your rights. We will make sure the playing field is even for everyone. We will make sure we are a peaceful and respected nation around the world. Yes, as Dr. Wellington said, this is our moment, and we must sieze the moment. We are entering a new era, but you, the people, must direct how we will approach this new era. You must participate in the government and tell us how to do things.
Remember, politicans are your represenatives in government. Make them work for you."
OOC: I thank you for trying to keep up with it anyways. I know the speeches aren't to great, but I'm just writing them off the top of my head and not putting much thought to it. They'll get better, though.

The Krasnovarian delegate Antonescu listened intently to the War Minister's speech, nodding solemnly whenever he heard something he liked, and adding his applause to the ovation when the speech came to its conclusion.
OOC: Sorry I wasn't able to RP my representative's arrival, but I guess we can assume that his arrival took the same form more or less as those of the other foreign delegates.
As brutus clapped after the generals speech,richard leaned in and saidI bet he's not happy about not being busy rolling his eyes
Brutus repliedyeah,most minister's of war like to war with something. Hopefully he means what he says.

Jorge Arroyo came out from the side again and shook the hand of the General. Now it was his turn to speak.
Jorge Arroyo adjusted the microphone to his hieght and looked out over the crowd. He then said
"Good day. Being a Congressman for this nation has been the honor of my life. It has been great serving this country. We live in facinating times. Our nation is definatly going through good times right now. Our system has been a sucess, and yet, has remained in the hands of the people.
But, our system can not work like it has without your guidance. Mass participation is vital in a democracy, and you are in control. I believe the Soviet Congress and the Administrative Branch will do well in these upcomming years, but, I want you to keep us in check.
With that said, let me give you the promises of the Congress. Our first promise is we will keep our promises. As the majority leader, I will make sure your Congressman do what they have said.
Second, we promise you a more streamlines economy. Our economic system, although good, can be improved, and will be improved. Through our collective efforts, we shall find an equillibrium between the command economy and capitalism. We have a plan to create a new type of economic system. Public Enterprise shall brighten our path. In this new system, we shall let private individuals bring efficency and quality to our government industries. The system we are going to implement is so well designed, I'm very anxious to completely unveil it - but that will be in a couple of days.
Third, let me say this now, you are going to see massive increases in our society's pillars, education, welfare and equality spending will be increased so it may serve all people better.
Fourth, as the General said, we have and will continue to prefer the olive branch to the sword. This congress or this administration will not get us into uneccisary or imperalistic wars. In the event we have to use action, it will only be after exhausting all diplomatic efforts. Also, we will become a philantropist nation. Finally, we have already sucessfully created legislation so the ANL never can posess any WMD ever.
Fifth, these following years will be focused on both improving the union and empowering it's populace. Remember, we are you represenatives, we serve you. We will make sure our people feel empowered and they are empowered.
We are entering a progressive revolution. This new era will be the era of the people, the era of peace, the era of prosperity and the era of possibilty."
As brutus applauded he turn to the nearest attentent and asked to see atl about setting up a meeting with Arroyo before he leaves.
OOC-if there an after party it could take place there.

19-11-2004, 09:33
OOC: A meeting between Brutus and Congressman Arroyo will be a good idea.
IC:
Jorge Arroyo, smiling over the crowd's reaction, resumed his role as host. Without moving from the stand, he began,
"Now, democracy is based on compromise. If our nation were a one party system, we would not be a democracy. That is the beauty of the multi-party system. While the Democratic Communist Party has a strong majority in the Congress and the administration, there are two other major and important parties in our system. The Libertarian Confederate Party, the minority leaders in Congress and the Soviet Republic Party, dominating the Supreme Court.
While the speaker for the Soviet Republic Party can not be here today, I am happy to present to you the newly elected Minority Leader, Izel of Quintana Roo."
Jorge Arroyo walked away from the podium and shook the hand of Congressman Izel. Izel walked up to the podium and began
"Thank you, Congressman Arroyo. I am honored to be a Congressman for our nation, and I am glad to be here today.
It was once said, long ago, that ‘If men were angels, there would be no need for government. The same can be said true for an opposition party. The Congressmen and women of the DCP are well meaning good people. They are honorable leaders that try to stick to the beliefs of the ANL as closely as possible. Yet, even the most-well meaning, benevolent person or cause can be preversed. It is the group of people who dedicate themselves to upholding checks and balances that keep these well meaning intentions from becoming corrupted.
Just because our beliefs are different then the majority party does not make us less patriot then the majority. Every man and woman who is sent up to the Grand Union Chambers wants to serve his or her country to the best of their abilities. We each have different views on how to solve the ills of society and to aspire to construct that more perfect Union. Regardless of how we feel, we each want to see the best for our nation. We want to see peace, prosperity and a hopeful future for our young.
The LCP is committed to never put ideology before the Union. We will stand up for what is right and against what is wrong, regardless of ideology. The people of the DCP are good people, and their word will help contribute to the benefit of the world and the Aztec people, but keep in mind, we will always be working for what is right for the ANL people.”

OOC: I need to contact Dhabi to see if he still wants to do his speech for this thread.
President Davis walks over and shakes the new Premier hand and congratulates him. President Davis then makes his way to the podium waves to the crowed. Thank for that fine welcome it is a honor to be here in Tenochitlian. He opens the folder on the podium with his name on it and begins to read.
My fellow citizens,
This day show how civilized our countries are when leaders from around the world can come together and be together to show that no matter how different we are, we are one, one nation, one continent one people. With the disbanding of ANL?s previous government and the swearing in today of the new government it shows that times change people change and we as leaders must change as well. We must meet the needs of not only of our country men but country men for all over this great earth. We need the people of our countries and the people of this earth to help us and also a bit of luck.
As the new ANL government takes hold of a great country they must still must help make it better. This nation is very lucky in the type of government change it had. Many nations like our have had to fight to get a democratic way of life millions have died for freedom and we as leaders now have to protect those wanting freedom we must give them a taste of the fruits of democracy. We in Dhabi look forward with a new and strong relationship with ANL. We are looking forward to economic prosperity in both our nations and around the world. New leaders that take office in this time face many problems and learn to solve each one. New leaders can not worry about there own backyard they must worry about the worlds back yard because it?s there yard to.
The issues today is not just terror. Today the terror is hunger or aids and no civil rights. We as leaders need to focus on these issues. They are the real terror. Yes when buses are blown up or planes are flown into buildings that is the terror most people know but the chances of that happening are low. But hunger can happen to everyone and it happen in every country. Aids is in every country and we must stop its spread and civil rights not one should be judge by there sex, color, sexual prefaces they are humans and leader must deal with these problems. The people of ANL deal with problems everyday but people deal with far worst and they must learn to give a happening hand we all must learn to give a helping hand.
Our country wishes the people of ANL the best and hopes that under this new government that they will live long and happy life?s are they should as humans. Most of you are thinking that I didn?t talk much about ANL but I have everything I have said today affect ANL in some form or another. I hope everyone watching everyone present her today has a different view on the world today after I leave here. It has been a great visit here in this great country and I hope to be back . May God Bless the people of ANL.

Jorge Arroyo walked baclk up to the podium and looked over the crowd. He then said "Thank you, President Davis. I can assure you that the ANL and Dhabi will have good relations in the upcomming years.
The ANL has long followed it's constitution strictly. Yet, when the constitution has outlived it's usefullness, then we are not opposed to change. This administration will be following the guidelines of a new, more complete and functional constitution. While this constitution has been ratified, we shall formally announce the adoption of the constitution of the Aztec National League.
To our esteemed delegates, a complementary copy of the constitution is under your seat. Please feel free to keep it and read it if you wish."

After Jorge Arroyo was finished, he began again.
"In our consitution, the position of Vice-Premier was never mandated. However, if the Premier should be injured and incompacitated, clearly, the need for one is obvious. Many people rather not have a position of Viceroy. As one Vice President said, 'In this, I am nothing. But I could be everything.' However, there is honor in this position. Being second in command of a nation comes major responsibilities.
Before this cerremony, I discussed with Premier Quetzalcoatl if and who we wanted as Vice-Premier. We went through many candidates, all promising, all very qualified. Each one of these people would have been good for the Union. However, Quetzalcoatl requested one man, and this one man accepeted.
This one man is the former Vice-Premier of the ANL. He served well as the Vice-Premier, making this position something. He had achived much and done very well for himself. However, several months ago, he had to step down. He was almost killed in a car accident and, while surviving, had to recover. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pround to announce that Coyotepec has accepted this position and he is going to re-assume his position of Vice-Premier.
I ask that soon to be Vice-Premier Coyotepec, the Supreme Court Cheif Justice Horatio Starling and former Interm Vice-Premier Dr. Darius Wellington come up to the podium."

Jorge Arroyo stood to the side of the two men.
Chief Justice Horatio starling said "Please raise your right hand"
Coyotepec, remaining completely stoic and professional rasied his hand and waited.
Starling then said "Please repeat after me, I, Coyotepec"
"I Coyotepec,"
"Hereby faithfully swear"
"Hereby faithfully swear,"
[i]"That I will endeavour to exectue the numerous responsibilities"
""That I will endeavour to exectue the numerous responsibilities"

"And that I will benefit the Union by working to the best of my abilities."
"And that I will benefit the Union by working to the best of my abilities."
