An Invitation (Open to all)

Veltmeria

The sun shone down brightly over the Veltmerian capital, Dubois, and over the tens of thousands of revellers who had crowded on this perhaps most special day of the year. From inside his urban palace, the Sovereign of Veltmeria peeked through a veiled window over the crowd below. The huge group spanned out over the horizon, filled with people with all four corners of the country, cheering, screaming, whistling, waiting patiently yet loudly for their Sovereign. Dotted around the crowd were several hundred soldiers and special forces personnel, their presence selected for their experience and devotion to the Sovereign. He smiled and moved away from the window, approaching a marble barrier leading to a staircase and looked below. The chamber below was a grand affair – a huge, octagonal room, spanned out over a large amount of space. Six marble columns rose from the floor like trees to the very top of the room, spanning seven storeys. The large, ornate skylight above glazed down sun onto the dignitaries and guests below as they spoke amongst themselves, separated by tables of expensive food and drink. Amidst this all was the grandest structure in the room – a gigantic golden statue of the first Sovereign of the House of Möriàrtè, Samuel Möriàrtè, stood bolt upright in a majestic confident pose, his eyes glaring down over the exit of the room watching over those who enter his domain. Although this had been done many times, this first day of August was particularly special – the 170th Anniversary of a unified Veltmeria, decadial celebrations were always the largest.

Even this late into the proceedings of the celebrations, loyal subjects streamed into the city to take part in the festivities. On the streets, the mood of the crowd was jovial. Laughter, yelling and singing were the voices of the people that day, the usual traffic of cars and trucks replaced with floats, confetti and streaming groups of people making their way to the palace. The crowd grew by the minute as all work and school had been called off for the day – this was a national event and an annual effort to unite the country in contentment and happiness. The troops kept a watchful eye over the proceedings, armed and fearless yet lightly armoured. Royal orders, they said, protect the crowd and the officials, but keep the crowd cheerful by not appearing as strong-armed enforcers. Several ruffians frequently used the occasion to rob, mug and thieve their way through the rabble. Some of them think they would get away with their actions, but sooner or later the authorities would capture them. They often did.

The aide interrupted his thoughts. “ Excuse me, your Excellency, the foreign dignitaries are due to arrive soon.” He nodded his head, not turning away from the spectacle he was observing. He slowly turned away after a few seconds and slowly made his way down the stairs of the circular staircase of the imposing room, preparing to greet the visitors.

OOC: If anyone would like to send a diplomat, they are more than welcome to.

Samuel returned the favour and warmly shook the man's hand. "Thank you, thank you, it's nice to see you. I do hope you enjoy the festivities, help yourself to all the food and drink you need."

The Sovereign recomposed himself and stood at the door, awaiting the other diplomats.

"Reginald Saunderville, Earl of Sutton, your Majesty", interjected the polished looking fellow who had just entered the room. "I am the delegate from Habardia. My dear cousin the Duke sends his greetings, and laments not being here personally, but both ill health and matters of state keep him chained to the throne at present, I'm afraid."

As Robert Hummel approached the Veltmerian palace, he glanced at the soldiers that were posted around. Always one to enjoy a good military showing, he admired their appearance. Most nations he visited didn't have such proud-looking men or women guarding their homes.

After a short walk to the entrace, he met eyes with the Sovereign. Bringing out a sincere charm, he approached the dignitary and bowed, then extended his hand.

"Ah, your Excellency. I would like to wish you and your nation a happy 107th Unification Anniversary. I am Ambassador Robert Hummel of SAVX. Mein Führer would also like to extend his congratulations. He apologizes that he could not be here in person, but he's been burdened with urgent diplomatic matters at home as of late."

The Sovereign warmly accepted the Earl of Sutton's congratulations and shook his head. "Thank you, thank you very much. It's excellent to see you could turn up. Give the Duke my personal sympathies for his illness and my desire to see him well again. I hope you enjoy the day."

The Earl turned to leave as he turned around and saw a man approach him: Robert Hummel, the diplomat from SAVX. He offered his hand out in greeting and the Sovereign recieved it gratiously. After Mr. Hummel had given his congratulations, the Soveriegn responded. "Yes, thank you. It gives me great pleasure to welcome such distinguished people to this, heh, modest celebration. Give my thanks to the Führer as well, for taking time to select you to attend."

He broke off from the greeting and watched as Mr. Hummel moved away to meet other ambassadors. "Not long now," he thought to himself, "before I must give my speech." He turned away and walked quickly to the backstage to prepare to deliver his oratory.

Ambassador Jauis Kohlmann walked into the room with his delegation. Quickly spotting the Sovereign, he walked over.

"Ah! Sovereign! Congratulations on your anniversary, it is a monumental event. I realize we have not had contact in the past, but my people are always welcoming. I would be most grateful if you would tell us about you and your people, so that we may broaden our knowledge."

The Sovereign shook the hand of Ambassador Kohlmann gratiously. "Thank you very much for attending this function. I would greatly wish to explain to you the origins of this nation, but I have a schedule to keep. This aide (http://http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Veltmeria)* will give you all the information you need about this land."

Ambassador Darghi Kilmop walked into the room, and looked around for the Sovereign, but he had already slipped backstage. He took several more steps and then stopped to admire a painting hung on the wall. He suddenly remebering what he was doing, and took off for where the other dimplomats had been heading.
