The Empire of the Appalacians announces is formation after its Secession from the Union. It is a nation governed by an elected emperor who rules absolutely for seven years. It is nestled in the Appalacian mountain chain on the East coast of the United States. We would like to open relation with the rest of the world. Our current emperor is Emperor Walther Hauptmann elected last month.

Oh come one, some one better recognize me!

It is our officail policy not to recongize rbels.

Ah. That'll do it. Well, we felt oppressed... or something. And besides, the US recognizes us.

We would like relations with you

Excellent. we of the Empire of the Appalacians would like more information about your government.

From the Ruler of Kurona

Kurona is a Principality, and highly conservative. I Princess Tomoyo Mikanu rule. I have executive powers, however, my cabiante has just as much power over me as I do them. But most of the time I get them to agree with me, being the princess and all. We also have been isolationist for many years, but we are slowly comming out of that.

It is good to have relations with another nation, Princess. If you had not come out of your isolationist stage, we would have been friendless in this world. Would you be opposed to setting up a trade agreement? Our main export is coal and other mineral resources. We are in desperate need of military arms and perhaps foodstuffs.

We would gladly accept a trade offer

As you seem to be good cause rebellion, i'm sure we can affilate with you.

Kanami is a Democracy Republic. Almost direct democracy
The Prime Minister holds the executive powers, but these powers are devided amongst the other branches. Judical and Legislative.

We hope for freindly relations with you, and are open to trade.

Karou Kamiah-Minister of Foreign Affairs

Thank you for acknowledging our existence, Kanami. We will gladly begin trade with you, thank you for the opportunity.

Kurona, we are elated you will accept our trade offer, we will begin exporting our fine Appalacian minerals to you. Thank you for this opportunity.

bump.

We are in great need of more trading partners. E.S. Welcomes trade relations with you and diplomatic relations.

Master Chairman Steven Lester

Excellent. We will begin trade with your nation immediately. We are happy that so many nations have extended a hand of friendship in these troubled times for the Empire of the Appalacians.

OOC: I've never done this before, I was wondering if I should post military information on this thread. Do I?

What natural resources would be found for exploita...I mean trade agreements with our nation.

The Empire of the Appalacians has an over abundance of mineral resources as well as vast forests that provide lumber (obviously). also, nice joke... I hope.

The Ayamar is interested in this mineral wealth for trade purposes, what are the 3 most common deposits to be found? and how much a year can you mine of each?

The Community officially recognizes The Applacians. We would be interested in initiating trade and perhaps exchanging embassies.

Official Communique from Estovakia

From: Generalissimo Maxwell
To: The Empire of the Appalacians

We, the government of Estovakia and its Commonwealth, Posessions, and Territories, officially recognize the Empire of the Appalacians as a soverign nation and would like to officially extend its diplomatic hand to the illustrious government of the Appalacian people.

Our three most common minerals are coal, granite, and quartz.

From: The Empire of the Appalacians
To: Siap and Estovakia

Thank you for recognizing the Empire, We will be setting up an embassy thread in a few days.

OOC: If my government had full control at the moment, i'd probably recognise you... but theres 2 things you might want to think about. firstly, have you checked that nobody else has claim to that bit of territory in this world? Not that that one matters much, it can just get a bit confusing. and also worth noting, the US has a nasty habit of crushing anyone who tries to seccede, despite it being a constitutional right. anyway, stick around for a bit, and NSAA will be glad to exchange embassies

OOC: There is one person who is near me in Pennsylvania, The Amish Militant Army. But they're not in the Appalacians. Also, about the US government: I said they recognize me as sovereign now. And secession is not really a constitutional right, I don't know where you got that.

Dear sovereign nation of The Appalacians,

We recognize you as a nation, but just for the hell of it....WE DECLARE WAR.

Just kidding! Moving onward, I would like to open trade with you. You are in dire need of arms and foodstuffs. Well we can't supply you with foodstuffs, my nation needs it. But I suppose I could set aside land just for the growing of crops for your needy nation.

As for the arms, we have plenty of that. We focus into two major things in our nation, Automobile production, and Arms manufacturing.

We can supply you with both, if required. Also since you are a fairly new nation, I would like to set up a defense alliance against any other nation that would wage war against you(USA including).


Sincerely,
Divine King Raymond

ooc: Correction...succession is No Longer a Right! The Civil War nixed that constitutional interpertation right in the kisser. Before the Civil War Yup! Sates Rights were valid... after the Civil War or as us Southerners call it the War Between the States... that interpertation is DEAD! Look up constitutional law and the "Right to Bear Arms" "Right to Revolution" etc... :p
You are in the 1860's? Do you have a link to whatever thread it is you are refering to?

Noble Savages,

The Dominions of Me Li will recoginize the Barbarian Confederation of Appalachia.
We will expect fair treatment of our nationals to the Coal Mountains.
[Appalachia full of 'em. the coal not so much the nationals]

[Imperial Seal]

The Ayamar would like to know the extent of your coal mining industry. i.e how much Coal does it mine and how much of that is for trade?

OOC:woops... I only got the right to seccede from some US civil war histories... it not being there makes sense. sorry. oh, and it really matters little who else has that bit of territory, I just thought i remembered someone major with it, but they've been deleted while i was away so...

Coal eh...interesting. Weare sending in a few er um forestry and mining agents in to inspect this, and possibly open up trade.

OOC: I'm not sure how much coal i produce, but I'll get right on it.

From: The Empire of the Appalacians
To: Raymuna

We are ecstatic in your decision to supply us with arms and automobiles. We will supply you with coal in return. Also, we thank you for offering to set land aside just for us and we graciously accept. We will compensate you as soon as humanly possible. We would also love to set up a defense alliance with you. Thank you for your friendship in this troubling time for our young nation.

Respectfully yours,
Emperor Walther Hauptmann

From: The Empire of the Appalacians
To: The Dominion of Me Li

You are welcome to trade with us and send any coal mine inspectors necessary. However, I am not aware of any of your nationals in our coal mines currently. Perhaps I am mistaken?

Respectfully yours,
Emperor Walther Hauptmann

A convoy of 5 ton trucks roll up to a coal mine. 12 men jumo out of the back of each one. "We are..here to inspect this mine. Make sure the coal is up to par and such" a sergeant said to a mine guard.

To Your Imperial Majesty:

It is with great interest that the Prime Minister of Edvardus seeks to establish diplomatic ties with your empire. However, he requests that more information regarding your empire be presented. For instance, what is the explanation behind your motto of "The Empire will be furthered by Blood and Iron"?

Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Holy Empire of Edvardus

From: The Empire of the Appalacians
To: Edvardus

We are elated that you wish to conduct relations with us. As to our motto: we feel we needed to say that our people are devoted enough to lay down their lives for our country. The iron refers to the unyielding quality of our nation and our people.

To Your Imperial Majesty:

Thank you for clarifying your motto and its meaning. It is pleasing to hear that the Communist agenda is not present in your motto.

His Imperial Majesty Pio XIII officially recognizes The Empire of Appalacians and wishes to seek diplomatic relations with your empire. However, your confirmation of diplomatic relations entails your understanding that our two empires will not agree on all domestic and international issues.

His Imperial Majesty and the Prime Minister eagerly await your confirmation.

Sincerely,

Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Holy Empire of Edvardus

From: The Empire of the Appalacians
To: His Imperial Majesty Pio XIII

We are glad that you are willing to begin diplomatic relations and would like to inform ou that we know that we will not agree on everything. This is inevitable in the relations of nations, however we are confident that good relations can be maintained.

Respectfully yours,
Walther Hauptmann

OOC: You are in the 1860's?

I was actually trying to go with MT... This may seem more unbelievable than before, but I really awnted to make an MT nation and not have to deal with bringing up through the 19th and 20th century.

To Your Imperial Majesty:

Preparations have been made to allocate embassy space in the Western Capital in Edvardus for your ambassador and diplomats.

Sincerely,

Prime Minister of the Holy Empire of Edvardus
