Diplomatic Bloc Now Open in Koenwitz

Koenwitz

The Armed Republic of Koenwitz
Official Diplomatic Transmission

Field-Marshal Jürgen Kaen, President of the Armed Republic of Koenwitz, is pleased to announce the completion of our nation’s first diplomatic bloc in the capital city of Koenburg. He would like to warmly invite willing nations to establish their embassies in this area. Koenwitz, although having had a favourable diplomatic past, has never had foreign ambassadors or other foreign governmental representatives on its own soil, so this will be a historic event for our country.

The diplomatic bloc is brand new, but due to limited funds is perhaps not as extensive as those of other nations. Currently we can only offer enough sites for 32 foreign embassies, though should more space be required we will invest in expanding the area. It is sited in the old walled city centre of Koenburg, a short walk from the Presidential Palace and Government complex. This is the highest point in the city and on a clear day embassy staff will have exceptional views of the Eugen Hills that surround the capital.

The diplomatic bloc is extremely well-defended and is surrounded by a twenty-foot high security wall made of brilliant red sandstone from our northern region – in the evening light it takes on a particularly attractive glow. There are four large security towers at each corner of the bloc that cover every conceivable route for potential attackers. There are also constant patrols by a specially formed battalion from our country’s elite Koenwitz-Leibstandarte-Regiment. Two large gatehouses at the northern and eastern entrances to the bloc are each staffed by 20 men from the regiment, who check all incoming and outgoing vehicles.

Each embassy building is equipped with working telephonic and internet services; an underground car park with room for three vehicles; a large living area for the ambassador, his/her family and their civilian/military staff and a large garden area at the rear of the building. There is also a single helipad on the roof. The government regrets that it cannot offer any provision for fixed-wing or VTOL aircraft. However, we are offering every nation that establishes an embassy a single KM Limousine in black, modified for special usage, and a KV-OH1D passenger helicopter, completely free of charge. Pilots and drivers for these vehicles will also be provided free of charge if the ambassadors require them.

The embassies are completely free from any form of monitoring or intelligence equipment so full diplomatic immunity is assured for all ambassadors and their staff. They are situated along three routes, the largest of which is Horseshoe Drive. This curves around a sizeable park area, the centrepiece of which is Crater Lake, a large ornamental lake built in the crater of a 420mm shell that fell during the Great Patriotic War. The park offers a wide variety of wildlife for animal-lovers, including our national animal, the blackbird. We ask that embassy staff refrain from shooting the wildlife.

Ambassadorial personnel due to be sent to Koenwitz will be picked up at a point of their choosing by a KV-52 Transport Plane of our Army Air Corps, and flown back to Kronprinz-Eugen International Airport on the outskirts of the capital. In the event of a national emergency, (such as an invasion by a foreign power or a large-scale insurgency) all embassy staff will be flown out of the diplomatic bloc to the airport and returned to their home nations as quickly as possible. You can be assured that your ambassadors will be extremely well-protected.

Before I address individual nations I would like to point out an elementary error that remained in our previous transmission - namely ommitting to include a section where nations could choose their assigned embassy plots. The perpetrator of this greivous error has been severly punished and this discrepancy has now been rectified. I have assigned the first respondent nations to the first three buildings of Horseshoe Drive - if they wish to change please contact me. In regard to the requests for possible military aid/exchanges, the Army High Command suggests that nations inspect its Wiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Army_of_Koenwitz) in order to learn about its organisation and materiel.

Field-Marshal Kaen extends his humblest greetings to the gracious Princess Mikanu and hopes that her Ambassador will at home during h stay here in Koenwitz. We look forward to a bright future with your nation.

To:Viktor Govak, Minister of the Interior and Foreign Affairs, People's Socialist Republic of Russkya.

Field-Marshal Kaen raises a large glass of Vodka and deploys a very warm welcome to his comrades in the People's Socialst Republic of Russkya. Please send Ambassador Pisaryev as soon as it is convenient. The High Command of the Army would also like to note its interest in embarking upon joint training schemes with your military. The Foreign Department also wishes to accept your offer of establishing a Koenwitzian Embassy in your nation's glorious capital, Berisak.


-----
To: Helena Past, Senior Foreign Relations Officer, Department of Foreign Relations, Dominion of Hexalot

Field Marshal Kaen thanks you for your kind proposal and looks forward to meeting Ambassador Trasko upon his arrival here in Koenwitz. The Republic also hopes that this first exchange can pave the way for establishing future trade and cultural links with your mighty nation.

Respectfully,

Major General Ertz,

The appropriate arrangements have been made and your diplomatic team is invited to ensure that during the construction of your embassy, no listening devices or the like are installed - not to say that they would be were your diplomatic envoy not there, but we have found in the past that such a measure increases the ease of mind a number of nations have in their diplomatic and even economic dealings with Russkya.

Ambassador Pisaryev has been dispatched to Koenwitz and should arrive within two days of your recieving this letter. He bears a token gift of Northern Steppe Vodka and a smaller bottle of Pertsovka* for Field Marshal Kaen - if he must partake of vodkas, let him partake of the best!

Respectfully, with regards,
- Viktor Govak,
Minster of the Interior & Foreign Affairs,
PSR Russkya.

OOC: The assigned embassy location is no problem. Pertsovka is like vodka, except it's about 85% alcohol per volume and must be drunk cold or it will very likely kill/severely incapacitate you. It's actually an existing product, there's an amusing Russian folk story about Pertsovka.

For the attention of Major-General Kurt Ertz,

On May 27 of this year, a Koenwitz- based folk group entered the Official Album Chart of our Republic at number 34. Since then, said combo have anounced a brief tour of the Candelarias during late July/ early August. Such an event will clearly require VISAs and such like, and thus surely represents an oportunity for further diplomatic contact between our peoples.

While our government must be open in our concern over the level of political freedoms in Koenwitz, it is the opinion of President Anderson that this should not detract from friendly relations between us.

Our embassy application is below, and we would appreciate a reciprocal gesture via here (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=528612).

Yours,

Official Diplomatic Transmission

Firstly, may I apologise for not having responded more punctually to those nations who have most recently applied for embassies in Koenwitz; British Londinium and Candelaria And Marquez. The government has currently been untangling itself from the unfortunate expedition to the United Socialist States of Bocio, and Koenburg has been in a frantic state. I am glad to say that situation has been resolved, and I am now able to address your requests.

-----
To: The People's Socialist Republic of Russkya.

Ambassador Pisaryev is now happily installed in his new embassy and we hope that the situation is satisfactory. Field Marshal Kaen was most gratified to recieve the two bottles of your finest vodka and would like to order a small batch of Pertsovka for governmental use.

----------
To: The Rt. Hon. Sir Alistair Davidson, MP, Prime Minister of British Londinium

We are most honoured that a great nation such as British Londinium would choose to establish an embassy here in Koenwitz and look forward to the arrival of Dame Julia and the beginning of what I hope will be strong diplomatic ties between our two countries.

-----------
To: Candelaria And Marquez

The Armed Republic would be happy to establish an embassy in C&A and hope that Senor Suárez will enjoy his time here in Koenwitz. My understanding is that the VISA issue for The Owls (who are also massively popular at home) has been cleared and that they will be embarking on what I hope will be a succesful tour of your country.

21-06-2007, 02:23
TO:Field-Marshal Jürgen Kaen, President of the Armed Republic of Koenwitz
FROM: Lisa Williams, Free Tulsan Minister of Foreign Relations
SUBJECT: Embassy Request
Honorable President,
We of the Prolatariat would like to express our desire to open an embassy in your nation. Our application is below.




The Proletarian Republic of Free Tulsa
Current Head of State: Principal Chief Mitchel Runnels (subject to change; an election is currently in progress)
Type of Government: Combination of direct democracy and representative democracy
UN Classification (if same as above please ignore): Left-Leaning College State
Current Population: 800,000,000 (OOC: According to the game, 1.401 billion, but I think that's a bit unrealistic, so I use a smaller number)
Does your nation have a military force? Yes. The Free Tulsan Army consists of a mid-sized full-time force augmented by a large reserve. They are an all-volunteer force equipped with reasonably advanced weaponry. The Navy is very large, consisting of over 130 vessels, most of them small ships designed primarily for anti-piracy operations and contraband interdiction. The Navy also contains a small but well-trained and -equipped Marine Corps of roughly 28,000 men and women. The Air Service is small and under-funded, being used primarily for support roles, with the aviation arms of the Army and Navy flying most combat missions.
Would your nation be interested in supplying military aid/advisors to Koenwitz? Possible, but unlikely at this juncture.
Would your nation be interested in receiving military aid/advisors from Koenwitz? No.

International Relations/Diplomacy: Will attempt to maintain open dialogue with all governments we view as legitimate. Will attempt to remain neutral in most disputes, unless gross violations of human rights or national sovereignty are witnessed.
Economy (Capitalistic or Controlled?): Regulated capitalism
Civil Defence (Policing): Sizable police force (officially called the Lighthorse), aided by local Militia units
War/Armed Conflict: Have intervened in foreign conflicts on numerous occasions, including briefly in the recent Zukariaan Civil War. Our nation itself was born of a civil war, so we are no stranger to conflict.
Military Issues: (OOC: I am unclear as to what you mean by this)
Expansionism/Isolationalism: Will never seek to gain territory from foreign nations for any reason.
Civil Rights: rated as "Superb"
Art & Literature: Awarded slight subsidies by government; dominated by Native American culture and history. Notable figures include political satirist Jack Ramsey and landscape painter Red Bird Coughran.
Media (Films, Radio & Television): Totally uncensored, unregulated, and unrestricted. No state-owned television networks, but a government-owned weather radio station exists primarily for maritime use. Sizable film industry notable for its numerous iconic historical dramas.

Ambassador’s Name: Steven Parkinson
Will the Ambassador’s family be accompanying them?
The Ambassador is single and will be accompanied by none of his relatives.
Concise biography of Ambassador:
Steven Parkinson entered the Naval Officer Candidate School at New Tulsa in 1985, graduating in 1986 3rd in a class of 156 students. Served aboard the anti-smuggling ship Loki for five years, first as helmsman, then as master of the ship's armory, and finally as first officer. Served on numerous vessels until promotion to Captain in 1999. Was given command of the aircaft carrier Will Rogers, which he commanded for three years until he was promoted to Commodore. Held a desk job at Navy headquarters for a year until he was assigned command of a carrier battle group in the Mediterranean Sea. During the brief period of Free Tulsan intervention in Zukariaa, Parkinson was nearly killed by rebel forces - despite being on the same side. After the pullout from Zukariaa, Parkinson resigned from the Navy and joined the diplomatic service. During his time in government service, he has shown a remarkable capability to solve with words problems others would have been forced to solve with bullets. He is admirably suited to the position of Ambassador.
Number and purpose of staff (we can take up to 30)
20 public relations, management, and communications staff, ten housekeepers/cooks/waiters (we wish to provide our own housekeeping, if that is not too much to ask).

Do you wish to be equipped with the limousine and/or the helicopter? No, thank you.
Will you need crew for these vehicles? NA
If bringing own ground vehicles, please state number and type (All vehicles must be unarmed. Drivers & crew, however, are permitted to carry weapons):
3 Ross Industries Model 42 Armored Limousines (crew of one each plus accompanying bodyguard), seven horses of the First Cherokee Mounted Rifles.
If bringing own helicopters, please state number and type (Must be unarmed):
1 Valhalla Defense Systems VDT-149/A Tiltrotor (Diplomatic Transport Variant) (crew of four plus support staff),
Please state number and type of weapons that your military detachment and/or staff will bring (Assault-rifles/submachineguns and sidearms ONLY):
10 Valhalla Defense Systems RI-29C assault rifles, firing 6mm rounds from either a thirty-round curved magazine or seventy-round drum magazine, four Creek Enterprises SP9 9mm submachine guns, one Creek Enterprises R7A1 7.62mm assault rifle (the Ambassador's personal weapon, primarily for recreational purposes), forty-one Valhalla Defense Systems HM48 7.62mm semi-automatic pistols.
