Today the Square of Loyalty was filled with men and women from around the world although they wore suits they where all dressed in Cloaks the Sun was slowing sinking and it was time. 2 Battalions of White Phoenix Warriors marched from the rear of the crowd and formed a Perimeter square around an Alter in the Centre they saluted in a perfect motion and then stood at ease down from the White Phoenix Temple walked three Men two of them carried Swords in a Salute while the third walked slowly chanting when they reached the square of troops they came to a halt the two soilders holding swords swopped them down to their side completing the Salute a small gap opened in the Square of Honour and the third man chanting entered the Square the Gap reclosed and he stood perfectly still, dressed in White Robes he carried a Staff made from Pure Oak at its summit a White-Phoenix made from Platinum twinkled in the fading sunlight the man was Chief White-Phoenix Elder Quicksilver he began speaking in is native tongue which was transferred live to all via Headsets translated to English:
"We are Gathered Today to witness the Oath of Loyalty of the Emperor of the Second Empire of Hataria Emperor Barbarossa Nakagishima. Emperor come to me!"

"Emperor Barbarossa Nakagishima you kneel before the Staff of Loyalty to take the Oath of Loyalty an Oath that you will carry forth from this day to your death an Oath that can only be broken by your death and your souls destruction. This is not something to be taken likely if you are not pure of heart and mind you will be struck down by the gods if you break this oath then may your soul be punished for an Eternity. May the Legions March upon you until you scream for mercy for breaking this Oath.
You are bound by this Oath to continue the progress of your People as their Sovereign although you take this Oath yourself your people as a collective are bound to it. You are bound to this Oath no matter what. Should it be broken the conseqences will be far reaching do you accept the Oath will you live by and defend it?"
Quicksilver lowered his Staff to the Left shoulder of the Emperor looking down upon him he spoke again this time in English:
"Emperor if you accept this Nod and Clearly shout I Emperor Barbarossa Nakagishima of Hataria and its People accept and abide by this Oath?"

OOC: Quickie before I reply to the Rigley thread if I can and then hit the sack.;) I know somebody's going to be watching this intently, and remembering how her own country's Oath of Loyalty had been administered; assuming of course you don't mind me RPing her memories of that (if you do I can edit)...

Lady Uthiria Tóriel Lathíriel nós Farlond, the Wagdoggie ambassador to Vetaka and a Sindarin Elf like a small minority of her nation's fellows, stared intently at the young Hatarian Emperor in silent contemplation. A flat, Elven stare; the kind that let you know in no uncertain terms: you are being watched, act accordingly.
She silently thought to herself about the child monarch before her. His people have acted irresponsibly in the past; patently so and many times over. However, they do not deserve the fates their enemies wish upon them either. If only the Lady Lieutenant-Governess could be here, rather than handling matters in Tailville while the Lord Governor is away on that awfully-timed diplomatic visit of his.
The fact that another refugee situation involving the Kawaiian Diaspora could get involved with the blockade crisis had suddenly turned a routine diplomatic visit into a nightmare of bad positioning, made worse by the strains the Dominion Commonwealth had sustained before ultimately choosing to oppose the Questarian initiative. Sighing as imperceptibly as possible to maintain decorum at so sacred a moment of Honor for all involved, Lady Tóriel continued her pondering.
She remembered when the Lady Lieutenant-Governess, known to the more republican in Wagdog like most as Deputy General Secretary Christine Friedrich, had taken this oath just like the young Barbarossa II was about to. She hadn't been nearly so nervous at the beginning, since UFAN was essentially as much her idea as former Vetakan President and Lord Governor Roxanne Wright's; as was the idea of using the Vetakan Loyalty Oath to cement the alliance against whatever foes or conflicts it faced due to the shifting sands of global politics. Of course, being uncertain in her personal practice of faith like many of those of her political bent in our country, she had some momentary unease just prior to swearing. But once done, it was done well and with Honor; like it would've been had I been the swearing party, in fact. Hopefully, a repeat performance would ensue on the young Hatarian Emperor's part...

By Order of the Praetor of Vetalia
Citizens of Vetaka, Hataria, and all others involved in this momentous occasion:
We are pleased, indeed overjoyed, to hear of this progressive development in the Hatarian situation. Hopefully, the nations that have sought to bar aid to Hataria will understand the value of this oath and will withdraw their unjust blockade to allow us to rebuilt that broken nation and set it on a new, prosperous, and most importantly peaceful path. The time has come to set aside the strife of the past and look to the future, a future where Hataria is a proud member of the international community, not a broken nation treated as a pariah for its past crimes.
On behalf of Vetalia, I wish to commend you and your nation for this development. May it usher in a new age, indeed a rebirth, of the Hatarian state and bring rewards to those who have discarded the prejudices of the past in order to aid the suffering people of today.
Praetor Nikolai Ryzhkov, Technocratic Union of Vetalia
"I Emperor Barbarossa Nakagishima of Hataria and its People accept and abide by this Oath."
"I Emperor Barbarossa Nakagishima of Hataria and its People accept and abide by this Oath."

Finally. Lady Tóriel flipped open her cell, the microphone and camera of which had been recording the proceedings anyway, and placed an emergency call to Lady Lieutenant-Governess Friedrich. Things could be done at last that had needed doing for too long...

OOC: What exactly is this Oath? You guys don't actually say what it is...
OOC: Hmm, I think it's just the part about accepting the moral standards of the Vetakan White Phoenix Tribe as binding upon the specific commitments Emperor Barbarossa II has sworn to here; and the penalties for betrayal, obviously. But Vetaka would know precisely and not me, of course.
EDIT: First OOC post with the size enabled, w00t!:p

OOC: Vetakan Oath of Loyalty
The oath is a scared Vow that Emperor Barbossa II (Hataria) will take in a Open Thread before delegates from around the world. The Oath is breakable by death alone and as such should Hataria revert to your/his old ways. I personally as The Free Dominion of Vetaka will fight to the death to defeat it.

High General Samuel Oron and his guard of Imperial Marines sat and watched the proceedings. They were all in ceromonial gold and royal blue uniforms for this special occasion. The High General was happy that the Emperor had taken the oath but knew it wouldn't be the immediate solution to Hataria's problems.
The Marines were very vigilant, the High General wasn't exactly the most popular guy in the world. They clutched their AMP-1s tightly and hoped they wouldn't have to use them.

-TLA Council-
As they finished watching the news feed one of the members spoke up.
"Wonder how long it'll last?" "Meh." Came the reply.
The Siriusan government sent a message to the Vetakans. It contained only four words.
We are hopeful.

OOC: What exactly is this Oath? You guys don't actually say what it is...
Its Complicated to Explain.......
The Oath of Loyalty is a sacred vow that all White-Phoenix Tribesman, Vetakan Soldiers, Politicians and Civil Servants take. It bounds the Oath Taker to not betray the Vetakan Nation and to defend Freedom and Honour until the last. The Oath is a lifetime one and is only finished when the Oath taker dies. Should the Oath be broken the punishment is death.
In the case of Hataria the Oath of Loyalty is his last chance in the NS Scene as far as I am concerend both IC/OOC Hataria has done a lot of things that he shouldn't of as such he took the Oath of Loyalty now whether he likes it or not my Reputation and Credibility as Vetaka and my reputation as a Roleplayer both IC/OOC is on the line here as such Hataria as far as I am concerned this is your last chance fuck this up and I IC'ly will raise every Ship, Soldier and Ally I can and take you down and I swear you will not recover from it.
I hope that this will lay to rest the fears of all those whom have doubts about the current group of nations aiding Hataria. If Hataria fucks this up I call upon all nations whom ever defended him and aided his people and all those whom tried to murder his people to unite and wipe him out.
