Today, on 25th February, 2005, The State of Lordas declares its independence from the Republic of Lovana (6 months before, 92% of all people voted for it).
The ceremony was held on paved area, that is now called National square and in front of it will be the new Parliament building.
30,000 people listened to the new temporary president Paul Morely Heracles that concluded his speech with the fraze "Today, dreams are allowed. Tomorrow is a new day". Then, national guard raised the new flag and for the first time the whole nation and world heard the new anthem.

Temporary government of Lordas looks forward for recognition of other nations and hopes for their diplomatic help in this rough times when it is under a threat of military attack from Lovana. 10,000 troops were deployed along the new border and the new police closed all the roads that are leading in Lordas.

((yeah... my nation was deleted... :( ))

OOC: So nobody is going to greet Lardos... :(

After few meetings of both governments, Lovana and Lardos signed an agreement, which should not be discussed in public and it is treatened as confidential. They released only one, but the most important thing - there will be no military conflicts between nations and the Republic of Lovana acknowledged the independence of Lardos. The both governments left the meeting rooms in friendly environment.

Few days later....

Today, temporary govenment made plans for Government and Parliament elections. They agreed, that all the political parties that were already in the state of Lardos, remain on the political field, as they cover all possible political options that a democratic country would need. They allow forming new parties.
"We believe that elections could be held in a period of four months," said Kate Hanson, government public relations.

Official Message to the Government of Lordas

The Government of the Commonwealth of Pheanix congratulates the people of Lordas and Lovana for the peaceful transition to independence. We hope that the people of Lordas continue being a peaceful nation in the future.

Signed,
Kristen Dol, Secretary of Foreign Affairs

Congratulations on achieving Nation status, the Protectorate of Northern Nation States wishes to open formal diplomatic relation as early as possible to ensure a long and fruitful relationship

a piece of advice, wait with challenging the real big nations before you yourself are big enough (and have allies :-)

Novacom Officialy Recognises Lordas and offers to begin Diplomatic Relations.

((Hitlerreich: Invading nations all the time seems stupid to me.... And I already had a nation with billion population so I know how this looks... ;) ))

Minister of Foreign affairs Theodore Ardley entered the office of the president.
"I have some good news, Paul," he said.
"Yes? What news?"
"We got many recognitions of other nations and they believe that we must start diplomatic relations."
"As I thought, yes. We will address this issue tomorrow on the government meeting."
"As you wish," he answered and left the room.

Few days later...


To: All nations

From: The Lordas government

Subject: Diplomatic relations

The Republic of Lordas as a new nation wants to form embassies in other nations. Those embassies would help Lordasian people in that country,
present Lordas to other people and taking care of Diplomatic and Economical relations with the country where it is.
We are looking for appropriate houes for buying or appropriate land for building an embassy (the last option is mostly for bigger countries that could be export and import partners).
Our representatives would do all their work according to your nation's law and allow nation's authorities to enter the embassy for inspection if needed (but just in a situatuon where your government declares in public that Lordas is a possible threat to national security (we believe that that will not happen)), however we are looking forward that our ambassador and his closest employees will get a diplomatic immunity as it is a common thing in Diplomatic policy.
Of course, we offer you the chance for establishing your embassy in the republic of Lordas. We would treat your presentatives as described above.

We hope for good relations in diplomacy, economy and other subjects.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Theodore Ardley,
temporary Minister of Foreign affairs

Subject: Embassy Exchange

Dear Mr. Ardley

All embassy exchanges with Macisikan are subject to your assent to the Diplomatic Agreement (http://www.freewebs.com/macisikan/diplomaticagreement.html).

Some sections of the Agreement may be up for negotiation, but you must remember that an embassy exchange, subject to the fundamental spirit of the Agreement, is a non-negotiable prerequisite to any further treaties, such as the Non-Aggression Pact (http://www.freewebs.com/macisikan/nap.html).

Also please note that our formal ratification of any such agreement must wait until after the conclusion of the current General Election (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=400997).

We thank you for your acceptance of our proposal, and shall send Viscount Edward Morelli to act as our ambassador as soon as our embassy is constructed. Are there any rules you wish us to follow, or may we staff the embassy and guard it as we see fit?

Secondly, we invite you to establish an embassy in our capital city. We hope you respond with favor.

Sincerely,
Davis Hanson
Foreign Minister

OOC: no problem.

Subject: Exchanging embassies
----------
We are glad with your offer of establishing our embassy in your capitol city. Please explane us which conditions should we follow.
Our conditions and rules for foreign embassies mostly talk about staff and vehicles a nation can send:
- unlimited number of unarmed Embassy personell
- max. 50 security officers with hand guns
- 2 security (armoured) civlian vehicles with diplomatic immunity
- unlimited number of other civilian vehicles
- 2 unarmed civilian helicopters

Embassies are mostly located on Lordas avenue, which is for now protected with police patrols and soon with a special guard. For now, there weren't hostility actions and we pronounce this area as safe, so we do not see any reason of sending maximum number of troops - if we are not mistaken, maintaining troops in foreign states is quite expensive.
Please send us your response.

Yes, our security forces will of course aid your own security force against any danger, however, as of today, the Naveiran Liberation Front has been disbanded because of the noble sacrifice of our neighboring nation Mondoth who has granted the rebels a reasonable amount of land on which to form an independent nation.
