This is Jake Featherston IV, President of the Virginian Enlightened Combine.

The people of Virginia and West Virginia, for a long time, have been isolated from the world at large. The fall of the Old USA has been hard on us, and as we have just recovered from an assasination.

However, we are coming back. My party, the United Freedom Party, has begun a massive government reorganization. We will introduce a new, enlightened form of rule called "Enlightened Democracy." With it, Virginia will become strong.

But to grow stronger, we must make contact with the outside world. And so we shall. Effective immediately, the High Directorate is authorizing the placement of foreign embassies in Richmond, as well as investment in our great Combine.

Those who wish to join can ask here. Any questions about Enightened Democracy can be asked here as well.

Before we consider opening relations, we have a question. What are the tenets of Enlightened Democracy?

My good sir, Enlightened Democracy consists of a government where the local authorities are elected, but those who ultimately rule the state are chosen from those persons elected by the people. We accept only those who are educated, and the ultimate authority in an Enlightened Democracy rules the people like a father would rule a son or daughter: firmly, but gently, with discpline if they go astray. Perhaps a view into our government will enlighten you on the principles of Enlightened Democracy at work.

Our Government consists of the Federal Police, the Defense Directorate and the High Directorate. The High Directorate is made of 21 persons, 20 consuls, and 1 President-me, elected for life. It is made up of experts in various fields, and handles foreign affairs and national affairs. They are picked out of the best men from the Sub-Directorates, who will meet with the High Directorate every month in the Grand Congress of the UFP, in Richmond, to voice grievances and issue new proposals, as well as choose new High Directorate members should they be involved in scandal or die, or recieve a two-thirds majority no-confidence vote.

Here are the Sub-Directorates. They will govern domestic affairs in each Directory, a collection of several counties into one. They will be consisting of 11 Consuls each. One High Consul and Ten Consuls. The High Consul will report to the High Directorate for approval of major decisions, such as taxes or to call out the militia. They will be elected from the people, for 1 6-year term. Only those who are Freedom Party members and college educated and pass a test will be allowed to join the election.

We will keep the Guillotine and the Cross as our method of execution. We will execute those who are Satanists, Wahabist Muslims, Anglicans, Christian Identity, and Socialists with the cross. The guillotine will be used for murderers, terrorists, drug dealers and other felons who are deemed 'subversive and incorrigible.' Those who are simply 'subversive,' misdemeanors and those who embrace other ideologies not sanctioned by the High Directorate will be sent to reform schools, where they will serve out terms of hard labor and be enrolled in classes where they will learn skills and recieve an education until they show no signs of any further potential to commit crime. College will be available free to those who do well in school, and made expensive to those who don't do so well. We have no limit on firearms, we trust the citizenry not to abuse them.

The Federal Police are much like the FBI of the Old USA, but they have expanded powers. The Defense Directorate is headed by me, the Commander-in-Chief, and governs all military affairs. The paramilitary "Enlightened Guardians" and the reserve forces, the "National Guard" report here, as do the regular armed forces.

The people are allowed an element of free speech, and assured the rights to free healthcare and safety, and private property. They may also use the internet, publish newspapers freely and exercise their right to assembly, so long as this is not used to harm the High Directorate.

Yes we would like an embassy. Though we ask a few things. One we would ask you to allow our own government "terrorist" groups, The Leonidaes and the Black Lung Squad, to train along side your Federal Police. Two we would like to be able to keep a few camels in your country at all times. Because we get hungry. Three we would like to be able to jump over the moon. We realize the last one may not be able to be accomadated by yourselves.

From: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, PRN
To:Virginian Combine

The People's Republic of Neptunea extends a hand of friendship and wishes to establish an embassy exchange with the Virginian Combine. Your new embassy will be constructed in the International Village section of the capital, Neptunea City, overlooking beautiful Pugsley Memorial Park.
