Greetings,

We are a small, tropical nation seeking friendly nations with whom we can trade. Our nation came about as a result of the collapse of Acamar Prime and Black Luthien over 200 years ago. We are descendants of those original Templar Knights who sought and found refuge in Black Luthien.

Our primary manufactured products at this time are medicinal drugs for the treatment of cancer. We also have a facility dedicated to the discovery and formation of chem/bio antidotes.

As our military is relatively small ( 45,000 army, navy, and airforce personnel ) we are most interested in aquiring allies to aid us in the event of an attack by hostile nations.

The Knights have three islands in addition to the mainland, and should anyone be interested, we will allow the construction of military bases in exchange for protection. Each island is, on average, 60-70 square miles in size, and would accomodate 6 or 7 bases on each island.

sincerely,

Commander Lucien Delacroix

We would be interested in establishing a presense in your area using both our Navy and Marine forces, for the safety and peace of your area of course. We should discuss this further. What other incentives do you offer to those who wish to help? What is your local economy and culture like now? And what is your stance on international relations, how likely do you believe youself to be attacked?
I believe we can work something out that will be the best for both of us and move together into the future if it is possible.

It is both a pleasure and an honour to recieve your message, and we welcome the prospect of friendly relations with your nation. Trade and diplomacy are truly the lifeblood of civilisation, and we warmly extend a hand of friendship to both you and your people, for our mutual benefit.

In response to your proposals, we would like to send representatives to your nation to discuss the possiblities of diplomatic treaties, trade, and possible construction of Helfaer Armed Forces bases and deployment of relevant forces. If possible, we would like to provide our representatives with armed guards, for reasons of security.

Sincerely,

K. Almarxa, Foreign Minister, Helfaer

Greetings from Xeraph!

Xeraph would be honored to exchange embassies with the the Knights Templeur. We have in Xeraph another remnant of the Templer Knights of old.
We are most interested in your research into the antidotes for chemical and biological weapons. In order to sufficiently protect you from any hostile nation, we would request one portion of land on each of the three islands off of your coasts, one for naval, one for air, and one for ground/armored forces. We will take care of all of the construction costs, and will minimize destructive land-use.

We have an embassy available for you in our Royal City of Tarascus. We hope to hear from you soon.

respectfully,

Vlad, Prince of the Empire, Regent of The Grey Phoenix, in the Name of the Emperor.

Hello,
We are willing to trade. Unfortunately, we do not sell military products for the most part. It is not our policy to accept embassies. We will send a small 40 ton unarmed submarine to discuss trade with you in privacy.

Thank you for your consideration.

Admiral Guanikeyu,

Our ecomomy is developing slowly. As we gain more trade partners, this will undoubtedly grow.

Our culture, while predominantly military, is one of a forward-looking people intent on expanding our influence in the region and eventually the world.

We are looking forward to ever-increasing involvement in diplomatic relations.

At this time, we are not as concerned as previously with attack from hostile nations. As we gain allies, we are sure that this risk will diminish over time.

If you are interested, we have a 6 square mile portion of Tanier Island available for you to build a base.

Minister Almarxa,

We welcome you to Le Knights Templeur. We look forward to discussing treaties and trade, and we have alloted Helfaer a 6 square mile portion of land on Sirus Island for a base.

sincerely,

Commander Delacroix

We would be happy to build such a base then. And hopefully garner trade relations to go along with such an endeavour. We have much to offer in the way of commonly accecpted natural resources, including silicate, ceramics, synthetic fibers, oil and natural gas. A trade deal I am sure can be settled on in time.
If you have interest in embassy exchange let us know, or further treaty negotiations, we're always open to suggestions.
To take up the offer for a base in the area you provided, which will be named SFB Tanier, we will, if you so please, use local craftsmen and tradesmen in the construction. Surely the buisness will do good your your people.
A deployable force, as it can be forseen now, will only consist of a number of Corvettes and patrol craft, possibly a few Frigates and an Aviation Destroyer, all to insure the protection of any cargo vessles we send there, and of course to assist your soviergnty.

Prince Vlad,

We accept your request for an exchange of embassies. However, your request for land for the construction of three bases is most unusual. Do you really think that all of those military units are necessary? We are not at present in any danger of attack, and we do have a fair number of our own forces available.

To: Commander Lucien Delacroix
From: Ross Kavern, Western Might Secretary of Foreign Relations

The Stellar Republic of Western Might is always looking to establish new trade relations and political ties with new countries. As well as establishing a a slight military presance to protect young a developing nations.

With your governments’ permission, my government wishes to send a delegation to your country to seek an appropriate location for an embassy and naval and air bases on the Islands. And well as to start the legal paperwork to begging the ties between our two nations.

Prince Vlad,

We accept your request for an exchange of embassies. However, your request for land for the construction of three bases is most unusual. Do you really think that all of those military units are necessary? We are not at present in any danger of attack, and we do have a fair number of our own forces available.

Commander Delacroix


Commander,

It has been our experience that the greater the presence of military personnel, the greater the peace. Put another way, hostile nations will be less likely to screw around with you if we have a significant military presence offshore.

If three bases are too much, then might we suggest a double-portion of land on a single island? This would lessen our original proposal, while still providing you with ample protection.

regards,

Prince Vlad.

The Grand Duchy of Elyria-Lorain welcomes the Knights Templeur!

We too have had ties to the old territories of Acamar Prime and Black Luthien. We broke away from that area some time ago and formed a new nation in a new region. From what we understand, you share the region with several fairly new nations, one of which we are in contact with ( Taleloron ).

We would very much like to have an embassy in your land, and hope you will reciprocate. I look forward to hearing from you.

My Government is most pleased at your acceptance at our proposal, the delegation, which will include myself, will arrive in your country within the week. And the 7 acre piece of land the Island of Curitasi sounds ideal, for we don't wish to have to large of a military presence. Just enough to be able to come quicky to your assistance if the need arises.

Mr. Secretary,

My apologies for a typographical error. It should have read a 7 square mile portion of land, not 7 acres.


Commander Delacroix

Commander Delacroix,
No mater, we all make mistakes at some point or another, thankfully this was nothing all to major. Though 7 square miles will allow us a little more space to spread things out at the naval air station we plan to build.

Secretary Kavern

The Emperor scanned the reports about the new base in Knights Templeur. The Xeraphian AI Worker Units were doing an admirable job of getting it built in record time. Another 2-3 weeks and the Royal Xeraphian Navy could berth it's first two CBGs there, to be followed by an Armored Division and 50,000 Royal Marines. The AirBase would have a full complement of three AirWings shortly thereafter.

Alaric was also pleased at the prospect of Elyria-Lorain and possibly Black Shadows joining Xeraph on Tanier Island. Between the three of them, they'd have almost half the island under their protection.

And be in the position to expand the Empire through diplomatic measures. Yes, Alaric had a plan.............

Obviously, a young nation tends not to have the investment captial needed to invest in new opportunties that arise. The Klatchian International Opportunities Fund is desiring to be allowed to set up a Bank/Investment office that will enable established companies and entrepreneurs access to the vast wealth of the Klatch. This will primarily be in the form of KIOF loans and investments through their banking arm, the Klatchian International Bank.

We will review the possibility of your building a Financial/Commercial Center on the mainland.

To: Commander Lucien Delacroix

Thank you for your timely reply. Our representative will arrive in a few days by aircraft, so if at all possible we would like the co-ordinates of the airport closest to where the talks will be held, as well as priority leanding clearance. Also, if possible, we would like to have our diplomatic aircraft escorted by Helfaer Air Force fighters, although we understand if you do not want a foreign military presence in your airspace. Also, for reasons of security, our representative will need armed guards. Although we would prefer to use Helfaer military personnel, if this is not possible we ask that you provide our diplomat with an escort.

We look forward to this meeting, and hope that the friednly relations we have enjoyed thus far continue.

The Lost Hills Department of State bids Le Knights Templar greetings! Lost Hills is always happy to make a new ami in this wasteland of the world.

Lost Hills is very much interested in trade and economic involvement with Le Knights Templar. Our businesses are always looking to expand into new markets.

More to the point, Lost Hills is also incredibly interested in aiding Le Knights Templar in the defense sector. Lost Hills would entertain deploying a battalion of the 14th Airborne Division (Assault) to Le Knights Templar to aid in island defense and possibly to train Le Knights Templar forces.

We look forward to your reply.

If you wish, I can arrange for Mara to have an embassy here, which would include a chapel/compound for your Holy Ones.

Venerable Freres,

We are heartened greatly at the news of the arrival of your holy order.
Be warned that we will not tolerate excesses. Holy Orders must remain holy.
Else one must be forced to purge the unholy orders.

While the Dominion of Me Li is an important member of the Isles and can usually speak with its voice. In this matter, the Houses have their own Sacred Rights. We of Me Li will be your host and sponsor. Your Monastery will join many others on the Sages Islands.

We will send our representatives to your capitol.

ooc: if you mean technology-wise, it's MT. The Knights are split up into two distinct groups: the Teachers and the Warriors. The Warriors are the armed forces of LKTand the Teachers are the Friars. I'm thinking about a possible history to attach to LKT.
