OOC: This is a visit by the President of one nation in the region of Socialist State Union with the leader of another nation in that region. This will be closed to anyone unless they are apart of that region and want to join in a 'conference' or if they are visiting Albertiana themselves.

IC:

Jerimov Krushve, the mid-thirties President of the United Socialist States of Assatru looked at the Chief of Defence, Andrus Makimov, and his Foreign Affairs head, Louis Vanderhaus. He smiled softly at the two gentlemen as he continued walking down the hallway four heavily armed soldiers, a detachment of his presidential guard following close behind, saws and uzis at the ready.

Even though the United Socialist States of Assatru were a peaceful country, it was socialist, and it was believed that capitalist vermin would try to assinate the President of Assatru at any chance they got.

Krushve turned to Vanderhaus and said;

"So, who am I suppose to meet when I get to the Dominion of Albertiana?"

Vanderhaus turning his blue eyes away from the man, the President, walking next to him, looked down at his files received from a clerk just moments before.

"King Elias the second sir!"

Krushve nodded before opening the door and heading quickly up the ramp, with two more guards standing beside the black helicopter that would ferry him to Albertiana. Nodding at the men, Krushve stepped inside, followed by Makimov and Vanderhaus. The UN delegate for the United Socialist States of Assatru would not be coming because he was in the middle of preparing legislation regarding Youth criminal systems.

"Your majesty, it is time."

"Thank you, Sedrick."

King Elias adjusted his crown on his head and looked himself over. He had only been king for about a year, and had experienced very little foreign relations. But now, the young king was about to engage in his first meeting with the President of Assatru. His wife, Queen Megan, watched and smiled as he prepared to go. She walked over and gave him a gentle kiss.

"Nervous?" she asked.

"Yes. A little bit."

"I'm sure every king goes through this once in his life."

Elias nodded. "I hope it all goes well."

He turned to Sedrick, his personal secretary.

"Is the prime minister ready?"

"Yes, your majesty," Sedrick replied. "He is on his way to the airfield as we speak.

"Very good."

"Your motorcade is waiting outside."

"Okay. Let's go."

Elias, Megan, and Sedrick walked out of the room, accompanied by royal guards to his waiting limo at the main entrance of the palace.

The helicopter landed and Jerimov Krushve stroked his brown goatee as he listened to Vanderhaus go on about the relations of Albertiana with Assatru. Even though Jerimov was concerned about his country, and about the way his country was going especially in foreign relations, he was a soldier at heart, once receiving a scrap of metal through his left side when he had been fighting the capitalists when he was a teenager.

However, now in his thirties, the brown haired blue-eyed man was now interested in making this land of Assatru progressive and a world leader. Before he had become President, Assatru had been a small province in a larger capitalist dictatorship, however once the United Socialist States of Assatru achieved independence only 1 year ago and some months, Krushve wanted to become president, and he had. And now here he was.

Letting the soldiers get off of the helicopter first, Krushve straightened his suit before quickly disembarking from the helicopter and standing near his Chief of Defence and his Foreign Minister, with two soldiers in front and two behind.

Here he waited for an escourt to whereever the King of Albertiana wanted them to go.

King Elias, Queen Megan, and the Prime Minister stood at the end of a red carpet with royal guards on either side of them. Two guards walk up to the helicopter and motion the president to the king.

"Mr. President," King Elias announced. "On behalf of the people of this nation, I would like to welcome you to Albertiana."

Following the quards, Jerimov Krushve stood in front of the King. The first glaring thought that came to his mind was that this man standing before him was just to young to be a King of a country. However, if the King of Albertiana was trying to trick him, Krushve was not going to let on.

Krushve could hear his Foreign Minister discussing something concerning the Capita of both nations to someone else, the President unsure if it was too one of the people accompanying him or one of the King's people. He smiled warmly however to the King and stuck out his hand and stated;

"Hello Comrade. You have such a beautiful coutry here King Elias II, I was listening to my foreign minister about what a beautiful place you have. Isn't that right Comrade Vanderhaus?"

Vanderhaus quit talking to the person before and said

"Absolutely President Krushve!"

"Thank you, Mr. President," the King said, smiling. "I'd like to introduce my wife, Queen Megan."

"Mr. President," the Queen said. She was also noticeably pregnant.

"My wife is currently pregnant with our first child," the King said.

Looking at the Queen of this land Krushve nodded his head at her in a polite gesture. Looking back at the King of Albertiana he believed that this would be an excellent way to break the ice.

"Queen Megan, I am honourered to meet such a fine young woman such as yourself. And expecting your first child? Well I hope peace finds you in your wonderful land, Comrades and I have much business to discuss with you."

"I will be able to stay for a little while before heading to another nation within our region. But, hopefully we can begin negotiation on some of the issues I want to present to you and your wife, Comrade Elias II.

"Absolutely. Before we begin, I'd like to introduce the Prime Minister of Albertiana, Mr. Tony Morales."

"Mr. President," the Prime Minister acknowledged.

"Our Foreign Secretary, Mr. Albert Michaels."

"Mr. President," the Foreign Secretary acknowledged.

"And our Minister of Defense, Sir Charles Witherton."

"How do you do?" the Minister acknowledged.

"Sir Charles was knighted by my father, King Maximillian. Now, if you'll accompany us to the palace, we can get started."

They lead the President to the waiting motorcade for the ride to the palace. Sedrick went over a few issues with the King on the way.

President Krushve was seated next to his Chief of Defence and a guard from the helicopter while the Foreign Minister had taken a different car to the palace. Even though, Krushve wanted to stay a bit longer, the interest of Albertiana history a main factor, he would have to spend probably only one to two days in Albertiana. Not a lot of time for anything to be settled, but it would have to work.

The motorcade rolled through the capital city on its way to the palace. People stopped and stared as they moved by. It passed by the Houses of Parliament before arriving at the palace not far away. The palace was large, with a large park surrounding it. The motorcade pulled up to the main entrance, the King's limo first, and Royal Guards assisting the King out of the limo. The King waves to the people outside the gates looking in. Then, the President is assisted out of his car along with his staff members.

Krushve was seated across from the King of Albertiana. There were only a few staff members from both sides. Krushve had the Foreign minister and Chief of Defence staff, but he was unsure who the King had on his side. Probably, the Prime Minister and the Queen.

Krushve smiling softly said to the King;

"Comrade Elias II. I have come to Albertiana for several reasons. One, the nation of Albertiana with its rich history is an excellent example of how a monarchy can be socialist in nature, have socialist ideals. With this, I would like to sign an agreement by the end of my two-day visit to Albertiana which allows for coopoeration between our two governments in the face of terrorism, civil strife, and natural disasters."

"The United Socialist States of Asatru is an extremely young nation, barely a year old since achieving independence from those evil capitalists. We could learn a lot from the nation of Albertiana."

"Second, the United Socialist States of Assatru has proposed a resolution regarding the creation of a Youth Court System, if it comes to a resolution would you support it. And what is your ideals about the resolution passed by the UN delegate from Assatru?"

"Finally, if you have any need of military of police assistance my police forces as well as soldiers can be deployed to Albertiana until you no longer require them. And, if a United Nations peacekeeping comes to bear, I would like to pledge my nations forces 'donating them to this supreme mission' if you allow your troops on a UN mission."

In this two-day trip this is what we want accomplished.

The King listened with great interest to what President Krushve said. Then, he spoke.

"Mr. President, our nation has been around for a long time. We started out as an absolute monarchy. But some of my ancestors became power happy. And so, our people finally rose up and demanded a voice in their government. King Charles III finally granted permission to call a Constitutional Convention. They formed the Parliament, but they allowed the Crown to have Executive powers. Here, the Crown has power, but many of the actions must be approved by the Parliament.

"Also, we do not consider capitalism to be evil. We do permit free enterprise in this nation. However, it is strongly regulated. We do this because we believe that if anyone desires to make money, they should do it responsibly.

"The Parliament and I have discussed your UN Resolution and have agreed to support it when it comes up for vote. And we appreciate your offers of assistance in any time of need as well, Mr. President.

Krushve nodded slowly as he listened to the King of Albertiana. This was extremely acceptable to him.

"Good, then everything is settled all ready. If any one of our nations needs assistance they will come to each other's aid. My Foreign Ministry personnel will monitor the situation regarding this allowing of capitalism. I believe it should not become a sticky point in our relations. And if the resolution my UN delegate has proposed makes its way to a resolution we have your backing."

Signing a piece of paper, with the above sections noted Krushve gave it to a member of his group which resulted in it being passed down to the King through his own people.

"If you would sign, the nation of Assatru likes everything in writing. And, please, I am intriqued about the history of the Dominion of Albertiana. Then if you have anything to propose your self comrade, you should state it now because soon, we will have to depart for another nation in our region."

Krushve sat back in his chair watching the King.

The King looks it over, then turns to Sedrick. Sedrick hands him a pen, and the King signs the paper and affixes the Royal Seal. He hands the paper back over to the President.

"Thank you, Mr. President. I'm sure our history will be of great interest to you. We were a kingdom originally, but became a dominion when we adopted our constitution a few centuries ago."

Krushve nodded his head.

"So you have been a dominion for several centuries? With you as King, the people must be happy? You have the lowest unemplyment in the entire region, and you have a good capita per person. Everything should be excellent."

Smiling Krushve said;

"Well, this wrapped up quicker than I expected. It has been nice seeing you King Elias II and I would like to reschedule a visit soon. However, I have to go meet the leader of Guerdania."

Krushve stood up and waited a response.

King Elias stood up and extended his hand.

"It's been a pleasure, Mr. President. We would certainly enjoy having you back for another visit. Perhaps you could bring your family with you?"

Krushve shook the hand and smiled softly.

"I hate the capitalists so much because, when the United Socialists States of Assatru was fighting to be free of a capitalist controlled country, achieve our independence. My wife and my two young children were killed by a capitalist militia in our capital city of Cultoc. They were several in 300 people who were slaughtered before socialists fighters captured the capital and proclaimed the United Socialists States of Assatru. But, you did not know that, so any apology of condolence is unneeded my friend."

The King nods solemnly.

"I fully understand your reason for your hatred of capitalism, Mr. President. Rest assured, our capitalist ways are nothing like what you experienced. Our laws prevent that."

Krushve nodded and hoped to god that the King was correct. Capitalists were extremely tricky, Krushve knew.

"If that will be all, I will go to the escort and go back to my helicopter and fly to Guerdania."

OOC: The President of the United Socialist States of Assatru has left. He is now preparing to visit Guerdania. Once finished that visit he will be heading back home. Hopefully, he will return to Albertiana someday, but the King can always stop for a visit.
