Burnsian Diplomatic Exchange

Greetings, nations of the world! As some of you may know, the Desert has fallen on some hard times recently. However, we have resolved that this will not keep us from keeping relations with other nations. We apologize that we cannot provide an especially elegant location for foriegn emissaries, so we are more than receptive for you bringing your own.

We accept your application for an embassy, and thank you for the honor of allowing us to build it for you. The Desert's economy is still flailing, and any chance for our citizens to earn money is greatly appreciated.

Please allow me to explain the current situation in the Desert; hopefully you will understand why we have such a low restriction on vehicles. The short version of the story is that our former Queen, in a failed attempt to destroy the entire region of Haven, detonated some 6.2 gigatons of nuclear weapons on Burnsian soil, rendering the country effectively uninhabitable. Furthermore, a Burnsian fleet of over 8,000 ships was dispatched to Haven to attack the nation of Velkya. This fleet was destroyed, and a Coalation of Havenite forces brought their arms to bear on the Old Country, as we now call it. There is no room for us there now.

We have migrated to Haven in hopes of a new life. We have arrived here via several old Burnsian Navy ships and an aircraft carrier. The small city that we have established on the coast, called Pioneer City, can only sustain a bit less than a million people. We left the Desert with over a billion. This means that there are hundreds of millions still waiting to land.

The small establishment we have here, as evidenced by our 'embassy row', is, frankly, a shithole. There are no paved roads, and the paths that are formed by the blocks of shantys are mostly deep mud. I doubt very much that any sort of sedan or even light-duty SUV could move around in it. Also, we don't want to have our streets clogged by vehicles when there is so little room to manuver them.

On a lighter note, we thank you for hiring some of our local mercenaries to protect your embassy. Like I have stated before, we need to rebuild our economy.

Your application is accepted.

Bump

The Logothe is wondering if it is instead posible just to buy a chunk of desert to develop away from the embassy row. 5 Billion is allocated over the next 5 years to develope a small homestead in the desert. This inspirational project is designed to demonstrate how desert can be turned into a life sustaining area. Not only can the embassy act as a technology demonstration but it can fullfill all the needs of state. ICCD is willing to purchase a parcel of land at cost. The area would be approximately 4 km sq and house a landing strip, storage facilities, and work on a 20 year plan to connect an underground tunnel to any main road system or urban center. The ara itself will be walled as a break in the desert and hold a number of systems. The internal area will be engineered to create a life sustaining area. Ideally this area would be located near the water to allow for a desalination facility and small loading dock.

To: Ji-Lou Khan, Interim Leader

The APCs will be unarmed, per your request. We look forward to establishing diplomatic relations with your nation.

- Nelron Khiskithy, Minister of State

Ms. Khan,

The Emperor has directed me to ask the following:

1...If you will allow us, we will be honored to help you rebuild the once proud nation of The Burnsian Desert. TBD is a long-standing ally, yes friend, of Xeraph and we would do all in our power to extend a hand of help to you. We can have 3 battalions of the Royal Xeraphian AI Engineer Corps in your country within 48 hours and can have any land cleared and ready to build on in another 48. Depending on what type/size of structure(s) you'd prefer, the RXAIEC can have 1 square mile of land developed in less than 90 days with each subsequent square mile developed every 90 days. All we ask in return is a section of Burnsian territory for our own embassy/base/compound.

2...Xeraph has a large number of decommisioned military items available for you. They have all been refurbished and brought up to date for immediate use. The Emperor is prepared to turn over to your government the following:

2 CBGs (48 warships)
2 platoons MBTs (70 tanks)
1 AirWing (72 fighters)
2 MASH Units

As an FYI, the Old Regime under Queen Romalia had established a base off the northwest coast of Xeraph on the island now called Burns Island. It is still there and functional. You are welcome to continue to use the island for your purposes.

respectfully,

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

Groz: Bradley Hand ITC; you might want to try Vladmir Script or Viner Hand ITC as well.
Xer: I decided to switch it up a bit this time. The new leader's a guy. :P

Reply
To: Xeraph

We very much appreciate the kindness of Xeraph in this time of need. We do in fact require assistance in rebuilding our nation, especially in the areas of industry, agriculture, and housing. I'm sure that you are aware that multitudes of Burnsians are still on the ocean, rotting away in the holds of ships.

As for the military assistance, you already know what our answer is. The Burnsians are a proud people, and cannot accept these gifts. Now that I think of it, expect that any and all labor and time costs for the rebuilding of the Desert will be paid back in full.

Finally, on the matter of Burns Island, I do remember that we have a base there. In fact, I served on it.

Thank you, again, Alaric, for your continuing assistance and thoughts in this time of crisis. You know not how deep our gratitude is.

Sincerely,
Ji-Lou Khan
