Certe Announces itself with a bang!
A new nation, The Empire of Certe, declared it self to the world today by invading and annexing a small, defensless island off their seaboard. THe citizens of the island offered no resistance and the only casualty on the part of the Certian shock troops was a sprained ankle.
As the Certian flag was raised over the island's only major town the Certian President-for-Life, Gerod Bestron, was flown in by helicopter. In a televised broad cast he announced that Certe would become a major player in world politics.
"...and just you try and stop us! With that being said, any nation wishing to open embassies or begin trade with us is welcome to. The Certe Empire forever!"

We welcome your embassy. You will be allowed to have as much security as you like as long as you keep the number of troops below company strength.

Trumisar Dufrain
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Welcome, Certe, to the world at large. We here at Dryniar have had a conference in regards to your recent actions. Our consensus is, "We like you style" We would be more than willing to open an embassy within your borders. However, while more than willing to let you open an embassy in our country, we are currently in the middle of a national crisis. The streets in the capital are unsafe, no matter who you are. If you could, perhaps, help us quell these riots, we would consider you a great ally. Unfortunately your troops may suffer more than a sprained ankle. We would also like to negotiate a fair and reasonable trade relationship with you. Please reply at your liesure.

Arthur Dantios, Prime Minister of the Allied States Vladachek, responds:
The Allied States of Vladachek wish to discourage Certe's hostile expansion. Further violent expansion will result in an embargo against your nation.
To the Nation of Drynair
We give you thanks and would be open to trade negotiations and exchaning embassies. We would be most willing to lend some troops to help quell the unrest and can provide them whenever you need them. Our current transport capabilities allow us to transport several regiments by air and they could be in your nation within a day. Let us know when and where to drop them.

OOC: Thanks for the welcomes.
To the Nation of Vladchek
We laugh at your pitiful threat of an embargo. Perhaps we should look at you as our next target for expansion?

From: Colonel Aleksander Norovic
The Empire would also be interested in discussing a trade agreement between our nations, and as Certian goals seem similar to our own, we extend an additional offer that you will no doubt find appealing. Generia would like to train and modernize your nation's military. We would be willing to enter into military arms deals to ensure that your armed forces are capable of competing with those who would threaten you, and make expansion a possibility. In the future, we may also be willing to aid you in developing a nuclear program.

Due to your recent actions, The Confederacy of Lachenburg views your nation with a certian amount of suspision and skeptism but still believes that formal Diplomatic and Economic ties should be established to warm relations between our two states. We hope in the future you do not carry out such brash actions . Otherwise many nations will be knocking at your door looking for a fight.

In light of your recent assistance with our national crisis, we offer to assist you in your time of need, should it come to it, we will support you as best as possible, wether by military or economic aid we will be by your side. If the situation develops please notify us immediately by secure telegram.
Kir grinned as he watched the announcement.
"Interesting. This Gerod Bestron seems to be a man who appreciates strength. I approve. Only two questions remain. First, how smart is he? He seems sensible enough, if somewhat reckless, but it's hard to tell this soon. Even a fool can be useful, though, and I doubt he is that. More importantly, can we come to an arrangement with him? There's only one way to find out... Send this message to Certe immediately!"
Kir swiftly wrote a brief note, and the messenger dashed off with it.
Transmission from Kharrol to Certe:
President-for-life Bestron,
It seems that we may have certain interests in common. I would like to arrange an exchange of embassies, and perhaps even discuss an alliance.
Good luck to you,

We are impressed with the style with which you have chosen to announce yourselves on the world stage. However, there are nations out there who take a dim view on these actions, and may even declare war. If you need protection, then all you have to do is ask us for help.
In the meantime, we wish to negotiate the exchange of embassies with your nation, and want to enquire into trade agreements and a possible alliance.
Telegrams adressed to UvV will also reach us, and no harm will be cause to relations by using the shortened form of our national name.

We welcome your offer of an embassy and accept it warmly. We look foraward to hosting your delegates in our nation.

Message from the King Himself:
"I do not have a habit of asking others for anything, and usually anything that catches my attention involves me having to send one of my own to talk, meet, or send a message to. For me to send you this in person, it is a rare thing indeed, Certe, so do not take my offer lightly.
I have noticed the means and method that you have taken to 'ascertain' your international pose, by taking it from one weaker than you, and expanding. That, if I am not mistaken, is a way we are much familiar with, ever since we were the remains of our great forefather, Ciranaar Arkzsen. I am compelled to open economic trade, military power and allow our religious views to take root within your nation.
If you agree, we will set up an embassy within the heart of your empire, and I will aid you in your endeavours, as long as they do not conflict with mine. Think of this proposal over carefully.
Although I cannot meet you in person, due to the fact that I am very busy, I will send one of my personal mouths over to speak to you."
