THE ACADEMY IS NOW BUSY

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t156/daehanjeiguk/foreign.png



Academy Manager - Count Han Seungsu [韓昇洙伯 (한승수포국)]

The Academy of Foreign Affairs is the official organ authorized by the Emperor Gwangmu to organize and authenticate diplomatic relations with foreign states. While we will accept messages outside the Academy, we have created this as a more efficient method to organize our official contacts and diplomatic contacts.

Diplomatic Recognition:

You may submit to the Han Empire a request for recognition of national sovereignty. This is the simplest establishment of relations and requires no prior justification for any recognition. This allows our two states to cultivate stronger bonds and eventually an embassy exchange.

Establishment of Official Exchange:

If you are not certain that we will accept an embassy, we are willing to offer an exchange of diplomatic persons, to facilitate the transition and to build political trust between our states. A exchange of diplomatic personnel offers the Empire an opporunity to send an emissary to your state. If the Empire agrees to an exchange, we will open one of two locations for your diplomatic personnel - the Woegyo Center (Center of Foreign Affairs), located just a kilometer from the Imperial City; or the Hangyeong Conference Center, located by the Cheonghwa University Campus and farther from the Imperial City, although transportation is available (subway, bus, walking, etc).

Embassy Exchange:

You can apply for an embassy exchange in the Han Empire, by establishing a new embassy in the Imperial Capital of Hangyeong. All embassies are fitted with one (1) acre of land near the Imperial Palace. All requests for Embassy Exchange must accompany a formal declaration, indicating prior relationships and a good reason why we should allow you to build anything on our territory.

- Please be courteous to all visitors.

- The list is subject to change at the will of the Academy Managers

===

If we are OPEN, expect a response within the next couple of minutes.

If we are BUSY, we will reply as soon as possible.

If we are AWAY, we are still open to new posts, but just don't expect any replies soon.

On Behalf of His Imperial Majesty,

I am ready to accept an exchange. While His Majesty would normally not accept an exchange of embassies so soon, I have reviewed a number of your exploits in the world, and though limited, I feel that His Majesty would be pleased to establish formal relations with your esteemed government. We hope that this exchange may indeed open us to future exchanges. The Imperial Cabinet will contact your Ministry later, to inform you of His Majesty's selection as ambassador to your esteemed government. In the meantime, I will arrange a plot for your government to use in establishing an embassy in Hangyeong.

If there is anything else to discuss, this is the best to do so, and I am willing to answer as many questions as needed to satisfy your inquiries.

It is always the business of the Empire to find and encourage members of the international community to become active members on the international scene, and to secure the blessings of life and liberty for humanity. It is encouraging to us that Daehanjeiguk is reaching out to the international community, and working on integrating itself.

The Divine Prussian Empire would like to seek formal ties with Daehanjeiguk, and cordially invites a representative of your nation for an official state visit to the Kremlin to discuss possible diplomatic relationships to further both Daehanjeiguk and Derscon.

We patiently await your response.

At the moment, I am not authorized to send official personnel to engage in state visits, but I will make certain that your request is lodged with the Imperial Foreign Ministry.

First person to post in the next ten minutes gets a free toaster! (If you live in Cape Town, South Africa by the Waterfront)

(ooc: It's not ten minutes, granted, but any fear of a toaster anyways?)

Sir,

The C&M Foreign Office views our nations mutual partaking in the same BoF group as the perfect oportunity to open diplomatic relations with the Han via the Academy.

The Empire is welcome to establish an embassy in our land via the link below.

On Behalf of His Imperial Majesty, I am pleased to reciprocate diplomatic recognition of your state, as we do share similar interests in football (in both Chinese and Korean, soccer=football - I have no clue what they'd call American football though...). When the time proves appropriate, we will consider opening an embassy exchange, although we thank you for the interest nonetheless.

Dear Count Han Seungsu,

I write this letter today to formally request that the nation of the Armed Republic of the Three Isles of Skibereen receive recognition of national soveregnty.

I take this formal first step in opening of diplomatic relations between our two great nations not for the benefit of myself but for the benefit of all.

It is with eager anticipation I await a response so that I might move further along the process.

On Behalf of His Imperial Majesty,

I am glad to open official diplomatic relations with your country. It is not often that foreign countries recognize that there is little to bring us together, and I appreciate your awareness of this fact. I do hope that ouur two states are able to cooperate and achieve some balance of diplomacy to improve our relations and thereby herald the establishment of stronger diplomatic relations, and with them future economic and political arrangements. Of course, these arrangements will have to be pursued with oversight by the Imperial Cabinet, and those will come later, once our primary ties are strengthened.

Check out this link:

http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Programs/AsianStudiesDept/Language/asianlanguageinstallation_XP.html

Someone on the World Cup Information Thread had similar problems, and someone suggested this link. You'll want to open text support for Korean (since it includes Chinese and Korean). If the instructions don't work, try this Website:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=803A623E-C311-4591-A593-B0E24A6F38E8

It's also included in the other website.

If that doesn't work, try googling for Korean text support. If you get the Korean part, you should also get the Chinese part (since Korean does use Chinese for Hanja script).

To his Majesty
Department of Foreign Affairs,Verx (Mr.Demetry Saminoff)

His Majesty King Caine requests that your empire recognize the Dictatorship of Verx as a nation. For an alliance with us is an alliance worth keeping. Verx is currently suffering a drop in it's economy but this little complication will soon disappear. As militarily Verx is very well known for it's advanced weponry as well as high living standerds for every citizen. That is why it will be wise to establish embassies with Verx.
Overall this little alliance will be benefitial for both you and me so do not waste time thinking of a response and join me and we will conquer all.

oh, Daehanjeiguk, how do you know this? Do you speak Mandarin and Korean?

I'm learning Mandrin currently, but I do have a passing knowledge of both Korean and Mandrin; more so Korean than Mandrin. But alot of basic (I REPEAT BASIC) words in Korean are transliterated Hanja characters from Chinese, so it's often literally interchangeable between the two languages.

On Behalf of His Imperial Majesty,

I must decline the offers for alliance. We are willing to accept recognition of your state, but as far as entangling ourselves in an alliance that only pledges to attempt a conquest of All under Heaven, we consider it folly and will not accept. We hope that you will realize that global conquest by arms is foolish and that you will turn your aims from global conquest to global hegemony, whereby the state does not control the world, but the world does not bide but by the state's wills.

We do assert that Han technology is superb, and though not the best, is clearly in line with the defense requirements of the Imperial Armed Forces. We do not need your arms, and we do not need your pledges. We desire a sensible government in Verx that will not bring shame to our policies abroad. Hopefully, our future dialogue will not include any mention of "alliance" until we can be truly assured that your plans do not include any foolish ventures.

We can see, but at the moment (i.e. RL is about to take over...), we cannot entertain such motions. I will certainly lodge a request with His Imperial Majesty to consider opening trade envoys to expand our trade with the world, since you were polite enough to ask for it.

On Behalf of His Imperial Majesty:

I am happy to establish formal recognition of your state. Our Imperial engravers are now set establishing links between our two states, and I certainly wish your government much luck as it progresses through its introduction to the vast world, as we are currently hoping to do ourselves. If you have any need of equipment or commercial support, I may recommend the Agency for Imperial Contracts Consortium, as it boasts the labor of Han at one place.

I am pleased to have our engravers seek links that will help to progress our two states closer together, and further offer our two states many new opportunities to cooperate in profitable and prosperous ventures.

I am willing to convey our official recognition of your state, but I am not currently authorized to offer a formal embassy exchange, especially with so few credentials to help us decide your affiliations.

^^^ What he said ^^^

Dear Majesty,

I am writing representing the Emperor Hector Van Tocco, leader of Cafundéu. After our recent negotiations in the area of sports, with the deal involving three of your National Team players, the Emperor understand that it is time to improve the relationship between our countries, and would like an embassy exchange.

Our country also is interested in investing in your country, and, as we have at least the interest for football in common, we could create one of our famous tactics schools in your country.

Ray McKeen
Counselor-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cafundéu

On Behalf of His Imperial Majesty:

Having reviewed the case for this diplomatic engagement, I am pleased to announce an exchange is possible. His Imperial Majesty's government will be seeking an adequate candidate to serve the venerable post as the first ambassador to Cafundeu, as we simultaneously open the city of Hangyeong to your own people. We recognize that these progresses are somewhat swift, but having had contacts for quite some time, we feel that these rapid advances only make up time for what should have been done a long time ago.

We are glad that this deal will be able to flow through unabated, and we thank your government for its vested interest in our country, both politically and athletically. In reference to your interest to construct a tactics school in the Empire, the province of Gwangdong is currently seeking an expansion in its football facilities, the only large-capacity stadium currently being principally multi-purpose. We would be pleased to invite your instructors and constructors to look there for a suitable location. The climate is warm and humid year-round, with the occasional threat of typhoons being the only serious weather threat (the other being earthquakes, a ubiquitous and far-removed threat altogether). The urban areas are also well developed and connected, allowing great access to infrastructure in the southern region. We feel that this would be the most suitable location for this school.

We hope that this project will further burgeon our other political and economic interests closer in the coming years.

(ooc: how do you pronouce your name natively, and what is the formal title for your state? I don't think "monopoly" translate well into Chinese, as far as referencing a state.

[ Can I get a run-down of your economic, social, political and foreign policies? ]

(ooc: Economic - the Agency for Imperial Contracts manages the economy. The top 8 corporations represent the economic interests of the Empire to the Emperor, who also gives oversight to each of the Provinces and a Special Economic Advisor. Political - the Imperial Cabinet runs the day-to-day affairs of the Empire, while the Imperial Assembly is open to plebiscite laws that the Emperor may pass if he so chooses; more than likely, the reasonable laws will pass the plutocracy and be subsequently ordered into law by the Emperor. Otherwise, the Emperor exercises strict political control over the state, willingly sharing his authority to others where he feels his competence is weak. Social - the people of the Empire are free to do as they choose - speech, assembly, petition, religious practice, even protest. However, the Empire also exercises a lot of paternalistic activities to inhibit their practice by common citizens, either by taxing it heavily or making the penalties severe. Also, there are secretive organs that police the populace to ensure that the people are not exercising their right to speech and assemble against the Empire (conspiracies mostly). As an added protection, the Emperor has the ultimate right to confirm or disapprove of a person's sentence, although a popular jury exhibits the right to otherwise try and sentence criminals as they see fit within the law. Foreign - the Empire wants friends, not eneimes. We will punish our enemies severely, but reward our friends very much by sustaining good relations and lucrative trading rights with each other. Of course, we do not ask for tribute from our neighbors, as we now perceive the world as all friends, and not subjects. Hopefully this answers your question. Otherwise, the Office of the Academy of Foreign Affairs is going on temporary leave!

it's stil going to be lucky, despite the obvious spelling error on this post.

very lucky day - doesn't mean that anyone on NS cares...

someone sing me a song so I can solemnly surmise my satisfactions.

anyone want to talk about the Art of War?

(OOC: Yeah, I know I've already gone through the diplomatic recognition bit; nevertheless, the last two posts have been sufficiently amusing to make me bump this thread.)

So what is war: a conflict all should shun?
Or something more complex? Reflexively
The first option beckons: the wrath of gun
Or bomb is taught by rote. And yet some see

A concept worth of study, at the least.
It seems addictive in worlds such as these.
Some with finesse, some with tact of a beast
Make it a goal. It somehow seems to please

So many, whether warranted or not.
And so, perhaps, others must understand
The force that makes civilizations rot
While ravaging victors' and vanquished's land.

How to obtain these irrational finds?
We place our trust in these talented minds.

This meta-anthem has been brought to you by Jacob and Roger-go Seojang!

Much appreciated bump by one of our participants.

And you too! can become just as this fellow person by following in his/her footsteps and sign-up for basic national recognition. As a free bonus, you get your own name inscribed in Chinese and Korean (disclaimer: I do not intend to be the come-all source for all things Chinese/Korean, but as the administrative languages of my country do not include English, I kinda need to use an adapted version of Chinese/Korean to make things work still)! Apply today, and become licensed bards of useless knowledge except to those who know how to use them!

Dear sir,

Greetings from the people of Kelssek. We have long regarded your nation and culture with great interest and it is our belief that the time is now right to establish official diplomatic relations between our two countries.

We would like to establish a consulate in your capital to facilitate closer relations, with a view to upgrading this diplomatic mission to a full-fledged embassy in the future. In reciprocation, your government is invited to establish a diplomatic mission of any level or size according to your needs. i have enclosed a guide (http://kelssek.tripod.com/mfa-mae/neorvinsguide.html) to our capital city Neorvins to facilitate the selection of a suitable location.

I eagerly await your response and hope that this will be the beginning of a mutually beneficial international friendship.

Best regards,

Kelssek {快色 (쾌색)}

On behalf of His Imperial Majesty, I am pleased to reciprocate the generous offer, seeing as it is a small consulate, unlike the many others who seek to barge into our office and demand an embassy with us - it takes to build close and mutual trust, and the Imperial Government agrees that such a small step is a worthy and is furthermore of mutual interest to our people. We also hope that this blossoms into bigger and greater things in the near future.


United States of Rome {大老馬共和國 (대로마공화국)}

On behalf of His Imperial Majesty, I am pleased to render our acquiescence to the various treaties offered, and to the generous offers of titles and honoraries. His Imperial Majesty is puzzled by this generous showing, but is much assured by the warm welcome of an emissary from your government. Unfortunately, we cannot accord the Venerable Mr. Sapan Nagpal an embassy, but in accordance with our previous offers received, we can offer a consulate that can be later deemed an embassy if our future bilateral relations are warm to receive them. If this causes any inconvenience, we sincerely apologize.


The Third Republic of Blackwood {黑木三次共和國 (흑무삼차공화국)}

On behalf of His Imperial Majesty, I wish to return the warm hand of friendship. We know so little of each other, and through mutual respect and increased diplomatic contact, our two great lands may develop fond respect and acquaintance with each other. We are likewise complacent with any beneficial development of friendly relations in the near future, up to and including potential establishment and exchange of embassy personnel. But we leave such proposals for a later date, when our two sides have tested the waters and determined the best course of action.

Anyway, just wanted to say, wouldn't the sending country, rather than the host, decide the rank of the official or the level of the mission? Not that I'm complaining, though, since for a faraway country with little in the way of ties, a consulate-level mission is already more than enough.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r56/kelchek/fgnaffairs-newhead.gif

Dear sir,

It was an honour to receive your most gracious reply regarding the establishing of formal diplomatic contact. In the view of facilitating this, I have enclosed a list of suitable locations for your diplomatic mission in Neorvins, including only those which I believed to be of interest to your government, although I would happily provide a list of larger sites if you so desire. If you were to respond with your selection, my office would do its utmost in securing the location for you.

Furthermore, our government is interested in increasing contact as well as general tourism between both our nations. We would thus suggest that we conclude an agreement allowing unlimited direct flights between our nations by airlines based in either of our nations. Additionally, we are pleased to offer a "full-ride" scholarship program which will allow students from your nation to attend any of our esteemed universities (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Template:Kelssek_universities), with all costs paid by my Ministry.

I look forward to your gracious response.

The United States of Rome gives thanks to Daehanjeiguk for accepting our proposal and the President's gifts. The offer of a Consulate is acceptable, although small.

We have reviewed the information that you provided, and we are sincerely sorry that we did not offer any property for use in establishing a consulate; we are pleased to receive an offer from your government and hence we have decided to reciprocate your generous gestures. We have an open location at the Woegyo Center, on East Changan Avenue. The location is approximately 2 kilometers from Cheonanmun Square (Tiananmen - Heavenly Gate), and the major government facilities and Imperial City. We are ready and willing to offer a significant office space to your government in exchange for the development on [[743 Manitoba Avenue, Bank of Neorvins Tower, Suite 4403, Neorvins, NFT ZZ4 5E7]]. If this is not adequate, please let us know otherwise and we will see if another offer is available. We strongly encourage the use of this location however, as it would make our coordination efforts much more simpler, but again, we leave the choice to your government in the establishment of its esteemed representative's residency in the Empire.

We are pleased to receive an offer of location for the residency of an esteemed representative from the Empire, but we regret in saying that we have not yet chosen an apt representative to go and review the property in question. We will assume that it is suitable for the moment, and when we have chosen a representative to visit the country, we will will notify your government of our decision and give you advance notice on his arrival to make the final preparations. In return, we would like to offer your government spacious space in the Woegyo Center on East Changan Avenue; it serves as the center residency for foreign guest in the Empire and is conveniently located within 3 kilometers of the Imperial Ministries and Government Facilities, including the Imperial City. We find it most convenient and efficient to house your ambassador here, but we leave the option to your government.

If anything does not fit, or you find the accommodations insufficient, please let us know and we will try to fix them.

We were most pleased by your gracious offer and are happy to accept the allocated location. I likewise hope you will find your chosen location acceptable and well suited to your needs.

I would also like to take the opportunity to inform you that our government has appointed Daniel Weymouth as Consul to Daehanjeiguk. Dr. Weymouth was born in Kirkenes (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Kirkenes) and studied at the esteemed University of Etnier (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/University_of_Etnier). He is retired from a career practicing as a psychologist, during which he was Head of Psychology Department at St. Michael's Hospital in Kirkenes. He is fluent in Korean and Cantonese, as well as English and French and I am pleased to reccomend him to you as our nation's representative to your esteemed government.

We are pleased to receive the honorable Dr. Daniel Weymouth. We are certain that his presence among our foreign elites will bring much esteem to your lands, and that with good effort and heart, we can take appropriate measures to advance our relations much closer and more amenable to our governments' desires.

We are likewise pleased to present Prince Choi Chungheon {崔忠獻君 {최충헌군)} to represent the Imperial Mission in Kelssek. We were uncertain of the nature of your government's official operating languages, but to be certain that he fits our requirements nicely, he speaks English, French, Spanish, and Malay. He comes from Jonamdo (RL Philippines) and has studied political law extensively, although his primary vocation has been of administrative management of the Kingdom's financial interests in fishing and other marine crops. His public service has been noted by a cheerful and opportunistic disposition, who has demonstrated on many occasions the ability to handle numerous circumstances beyond his physical control admirably and controllably. He furthermore has demonstrated excellent skills in political administration and is friendly with his workers, superior and inferior. We feel that he will serve the Imperial interests abroad in your land well, and that he may advance the warm ties of our two great lands farther and to more glorious days ahead.

We hope that his appointment suits your government well.

OOC: two notes that seem to confuse everyone, and not to their fault either. (1) "Prince" is an administrative and Imperial title disposed to public servants that serve in the Emperor's direct interest - it does not mean that the Emperor likes to make babies and has a bunch kin to represent his Royal Blood all over the world, so to assume that Prince Choi is in fact linked to any royal family would be false and an embarrassment to your country; (2) Jonamdo and Joseon are both axillary kingdoms to the Empire. They serve as tributary systems and are considered semi-autonomous for that reason. However, both Jonamdo and Joseon are subject to Imperial law and must adhere to the Imperial standards of weights and measures, which in effect integrate the three systems under one banner. Otherwise, Jonamdo and Joseon demonstrate a large degree of independence in their domestic policies relative to Imperial Provincial systems, which are administered by democratically elected governors. But the sum of this - Jonamdo is not an independent kingdom and any attempt to establish separate relations with them can be considered a grave casus bellum.

opening for more interested persons?

FYI to all people with whom I currently have diplomatic relations!


I am currently planning an event where we could all/partially advance our diplomatic and political ties to closer/farther/nil relations, so I can get more embassies. It's not going to be a boring conference, but it also isn't going to be some stupid civil war shebang (because unlike some people, I like having a stable state). There will be action, there will be blood, but I can't guarantee that it's going to whet everyone's appetite. This is just an FYI - it's still in the plan mode, and I'm not likely to shed more information until I'm absolutely ready to post the event. It will be an II event too, so check around for it later.

OOC: If I'm not wrong it's the actual Chinese name for the actual Roman empire, and is based on imitating the sound of the name. It does mean "old horse" but it comes out in Chinese as "lao-ma" ('Lao' as in Laos, 'ma' as in what you might call your mother).

大老馬共和國

In Korean: DaeRoMaGongHwaGuk

Literally translates as: "The Great Old Horse Republic"

I had a choice between "Horse Road" and "Old Horse", because the sound is similar to the way your country would call your state (ROMA - if it's Latin). It has nothing to do with the historical Roman appetite to build roads, although "old horse" can imply culturally an ancient and venerable establishment (horses are expensive), which wouldn't be too far from the fact. Besides, Rome was also noted for its cavalry (more often, the lack thereof, but Roman cavaliers were rather well trained.) Anyway, it's tough work to make these names, because they more often don't correlate to the RL names of many places (for obvious reasons).

OCC: Very interesting. Thank you for the clarification and the venerable name.

Actually, the Chinese don't really know what to call "Rome" but the most consistent way has been "luma" - which translates as "horse road". And the Chinese will know if you mean "old mom" or "old horse" - since the tones are different (mă = horse;mā = mom).

anyways, no problem. As I've said somewhere, it's an RP aspect that I take seriously, since the administrative language of the Han Empire is Korean/Chinese (Haneo), not English. It wouldn't be right if I had simple English names for everything ;).

Here's to hope that Zwangzug will see this bump to the front once again.

maybe not...

BUMP for visibility and perhaps to satiate some lust for spamming (at least that's what my friends say...)

Following a developing of relations between Sorthern Northland and Daehanjeiguk, thanks to events such as the Oriental Cup, the government of Sorthern Northland have decided it would be beneficial to set up an embassy in Daehanjeiguk and allow Daehanjeiguk to set up one in Sorthern Northland, and would like to know what to do to do this?

The Emperor would like ten thousand li (500g) presented in silver at Cheonanmun (Tiananmen) during the Lunar Eclipse on the Harvest Moon Festival (August 15).

Granted that that's not going to happen anytime soon, we'll be glad just to accept the deal in writing. We can work out the specific arrangements more thoroughly in private discussions (via TG okay; separate thread, not okay; avoid IMs, but if impossible, okay).

another post of satisfaction.

This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 1 seconds.

haha

I suppose now is a slow time for diplomacy.

(and I am still working on a special project for people who more than just diplomatic recognition - and I know that there's quite a few of you, so I'm also trying not to make it selective; it's coming along.)

OOC: Well then, I found my nation's chinese name again

Happy to help out.

In the meantime, the AFA is considering hiring a foreign national to serve as a bumpmeister for this thread. Qualifications must include the following:

*You must belong to country officially recognized by the Empire;
*You must not be disrespectful to anyone;
*You must be able to carry 6000 tons of silver offered in tribute by any nation willing in the world;
*You must be able to recite the entirety of the Tripitaka Koreana without fault or hesitation within 30 seconds;
*You must not laugh as thirty virgin men/women sit and fart on your lap;
*You must stamp on a picture of the Devil (a random guy wearing a red devil costume) ten thousands without rest.
*You must enjoy listening to Chinese opera;
*You must not eat spicy peppers and malt vinegar-flavored potato chips.

bump - apparently, I'm going to have any official bumpers...

Official Diplomatic Communiqué
Addressed to the most honourable Count Han Seungsu

The Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi wishes the best to the The Celestial Regency of Daehanjeiguk. Please, do not be fooled by the fact that we declare ourselves to be "communist". Even though the people may be oppressed in their eyes, we believe that by regulating economics and preventing the elections of corrupt officials. On a lighter note, the Commissar has begun reading the Art of NS War, which intrigues him greatly. Although we are but a small nation in comparison to the Great Han Empire, we do have a large amount of resources that we produce in our colonies and in our homeland. Currently, our factbook is under revision, and as such our list of resources is unable to be viewed, but we will be glad to open up diplomatic relations with the Great Han Empire. If possible, we would like to sign a Free Trade Agreement, in which both of our nations will trade with each other without too much regulation. We would also like to send some highly trained diplomatic officials to the Great Han Empire, with the goal of establishing an embassy and improving foreign relations between our two nations. Thank you very much.

Regards,

Valerian Office of Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs


Most Honorable Count Han Seungsu,

Greetings from The Valerian Empire. Our two nations share a long history of existence. Our nation has had a long history of establishment and glory in the Pacific, and it is natural for our two great nations to meet and have open diplomatic talks. On behalf on my superior, Minister Feodor Gagarin (who is out on another diplomatic mission), I send you this message. We would like to open up trade relations and offer your nation the bounty of Valerian farmlands and factories through trade.

We offer you a plot of land in our glorious capital, Isangrad, for you to build an embassy. We have a plot of land available in New Isangrad District, across Emperor George I Bridge and just a few miles away from the Imperial Palace and the various ministries that surround it. If desired, Valerians shall construct it for you and cover all costs of construction as a kind gesture from our nation.

We also would like to send a mission to your capital of Hangyeong to discuss these items further and in more detail.

Sincerely,

Isan Sergeyevich Tsushchinokov
Deputy Minister of Diplomacy Foreign Affairs

In the name of His Most Imperial and August Majesty Tsar (Aytokratorik) Alexander III, Emperor of The Valerian Empire and Its Dependencies


OOC: In Valerian, it's either Tsar or Aytokratorik, in reference to the emperor... a mixture of Greek and Russian really. Speaking of alternative names, another name for my nation is The Grand Empire of Magnus Valerius, alongside the shorter, more popular forms, The Valerian Empire or 'Valeria'.

And since NSWiki is not working, I think I'll make a factbook, otherwise you wouldn't be able to know much about Magnus Valerius... :p

If NSWiki does get fixed though, my nation's page is in my sig.

Many apologies from the Academy for the delayed response. Domestic issues required immediate Imperial Attention:

To Minister Grigor Aleksandrovich Stuyonovich:

We would be glad to accept the invitations of the Communist Dominion of Stoklomovli. Let us state that we do not communist ideology, but the ideology of anarchism - that the state is an unnecessary tool needs to be eradicated. If your communism accepts that violent and excessive revolution is necessary - which we have not found necessarily to be the case - we can exist in harmony and with mutual benefit to each other. We would be glad further to accept envoys, with the intention of working towards the establishment of an embassy in the Han Empire. Regarding your offers for a Free Trade Agreement, we can consider a future conference with our selective list of recognized states to create a Han FTA forum, to manage our economic agreements effectively. In the meantime, we wish you well and hope that the Commissar finds the Art of NS War - an Imperial Defense Ministry Publication - interesting and we are willing to send military officials to help in its instruction.

Count Han Seungsu
韓昇洙伯


To Deputy Minister Isan Sergeyevich Tsushchinokov:

We are interested in forming diplomatic relations, but we cannot satisfy the request to exchange embassies at this time. We require sufficient time to build trust, although we do not wish to say that we cannot trust your country. We do believe that we have heard of your country, and we are confident that given further talks, we can agree on a formal exchange. Until that time, we are willing to accept diplomatic envoys from your government to settle the establishment of an embassy exchange and other topics of mutual interest. We look forward to future contacts and improved relations with your state, perhaps to coordinate the mutual advancement of the both of our states.

Count Han Seungsu
韓昇洙伯

(Your names will be Sinofied at an appropriate time)

Most Honorable Count Seungsu,

We would like to dispatch a diplomatic delegation to your nation at this moment to further improve our relations and to discuss possible treaties on trade and opening up our borders with each other. Some Valerian corporations (Valeririjk, a steel conglomerate, for example) are quite interested in establishing branches and markets for their products in your domain, and I'm sure that the Valerian market, 673 million strong, is rather appealing to your nation as well. We would also like to extend a hand to offer migration between our countries; our empire has quite many opportunities (such as homesteading grants in some undersettled regions) as well as yours, I assume. If we can get to talks right away, we have an envoy ready and able.

A Pleasure,

Isan Sergeyevich Tsushchinokov
Deputy Minister of Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs

------

Paulus Lucanius Silla was a man with a diverse background for a diplomat. Born in Nova Capua, the capital of The Latinian Plebian Republic (once called 'Latinium', a former empire to the west across the sea from Valeria). His grandfather was killed during the violence of the 1952 revolution that toppled the old monarchy with the beheading of Emperor Rufus XVII. His family was exiled from the Socialist Republic when he was a young child, his father being labeled as an enemy of the Latinian Soviet. His father was rounded up and shot along with his uncle in the main plaza in front of the Plebian Assembly House.

With nowhere to go, his family sailed towards Magnus Valerius, who welcomed all exiles from Latinium as a gesture of ill will towards that particular communist state (the surviving members of the Latinian Imperial Family, after all, reside in The Valerian Empire). He enrolled in school and soon earned high marks, especially in languages. Silla found his love in foreign languages in high school and colleges, and soon enrolled as a diplomat. Well versed in Valerian, English, French, Korean, Kalmyk, Japanese, Mandarin, and, of course, his native Latin, Silla soon rose through the ranks of envoys.

He was drinking his morning tea when a letter arrived from the Valerian Ministry of Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs...

The Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi: 所骨没毖民主聯合 (소골몰비민주련합)

The Grand Empire of Magnus Valerius: 太渤易熊大王國 (태발이웅대왕국)


Quick reply to Deputy Minister Isan Sergeyevich Tsushchinokov:

A delegation from your country is permitted to visit the Summer Palace in Gwangju, where the Emperor is currently resting. He will be ready and willing to meet your delegation when you choose to receive them, as long as ample advance notice is given.

OOC:
I already have Sinic data for my country... In the below 龘殷神 the name of the 上帝. He is addressed with 殿 (Japanese dono but put before) and 丿 is a word to add emphasis like "The". 之 is a reverse "of". 霸權囯義 is based on 霸權主義. I am not a native speaker of Chinese, Japanese or Korean but I have studied both Chinese & Japanese. The Transliteration is mostly based on Old Chinese but 龘殷神's is total fictitious. _ represents a pause, the number after is tone (If you want I'll tell you what the 13 tones are but...), Capitals signal a new character, spaces the end of a mora... I was going to save this for the fact book but your tri-lingual (English, Korean, Chinese) work necessitates I at least provide my nation's proper name.

Te ens Mon Kye En Dangh Te eh Pyel De6 pra5 ak7 s gwar6 kew3 ek11 ngajs3

IC:
The Righteous Hegemony of His majesty, Mon Kye En, The Supreme Sovereign (殿龘殷神上帝丿), Te ens Mon Kye En Dangh Te eh Pyel) has indicated that I, as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Primus inter pares to territorium in general, Be esks2 Hu Re9 _ Mra6 a _ (佩休 里馬) am to establish official relations with your nation for our nation (殿龘殷神上帝丿之霸權囯義, Te ens Mon Kye En Dangh Te eh Pyel De6 pra5 ak7 s gwar6 kew3 ek11 ngajs3). The Supreme Sovereign is most impressed with your nation and hopes that close relations are possible particularly considering our common cultural linages both can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty.

As His majesty, Mon Kye En, The Supreme Sovereign sees that this is the most important issue to the ambassadorial bureau I am available at a moments notice, and can fly to any location in the world on Jet previous owned by the late generalissimo. He formerly was officially titled president and general of the army but the Supreme Sovereign found that title misleading as the generalissimo did cease power from the president of the defunct Republic Of Mon Kye En, dissolve the Republic, and form the Union [of Mon Kye En]. But that matter is not important, the the government is stable now that it has returned to an absolute monarchy, I just wished to inform you of the change of title.

As a matter of good will, and as is with our nation's custom's, I hope that it is permitted that matters can be discussed over a banquet. The Supreme Sovereign would particularly like to show off our nation's rarest albino lobsters, our native variant of the geoduck, our oligarchical, virginal cattle, and, though not unique, our shark fin.

Be esks2 Hu leaned back in his chair after checking to see his messages, and the Supreme Sovereign's international messages. The bald old man has happy to have his job again but wished that the People's republic had not destroyed the Imperial city, and his "three precious" in 1959, when the Kingdom was overthrown. The return to a recognizable monarchy made him happier than when the Republic was restored in 1970, and he no longer had to hide his voice from the communists.

While looking back on the many years of his life, he reflected on how it was too bad that the line kings who had served the Supreme Sovereign were wiped out. After thousands of years with no sign of the Supreme Sovereign they kept the nation in such good condition, at least until the late 1800s, and they even say to it that dinner was made for Supreme Sovereign every day.

He got up, left his office located in the former nation museum located at the ruins of New Yin (新殷, Sin5 Kye) and told his servant, who was smoking outside, to get the [Bicycle] rickshaw. The 17 year old veteran took a last puff of his cigarette, thought to himself how could anyone, let alone the virtually the entire nation, think that the 6'7.5" mad man was a mythical figure from thousands of years ago. He dropped the cigarette, stopped it out, and went to the get the rickshaw.

ooc: I'll be honest in saying that my people will likely be appalled to see anyone called "上帝" - roughly translated in old literature "God"; more colloquially "overlord". But I'll see if I can craft a reply sometime. Thanks for the input nonetheless, it's always interesting to see what other people do for their language requirements.

ooc: If it would make things easier I'll have him use 王 instead when dealing with your nation.

To Count Han Seungsu:

We would like to send a delegation to Gwangju immediately to address the Gwangmu Emperor and discuss diplomacy and other issues and possible trade opportunities. We have already arranged for a delegation to be dispatched.

An Honor,

Isan Sergeyevich Tsushchinokov
Deputy Minister of Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs

-----

Paulus Lucanius Silla was riding a troshky (OOC: essentially, a rickshaw; although in Russia they were horse-drawn two-person sledges, in Valeria, with its warmer climate, they are rickshaws driven by bike, person, or horses... some more modernized cities have motorized troshkies) towards the major aerodrome in Isangrad (Isangrad Imperial International Aerodrome). The diplomat was to be the head of a large delegation of Valerians. When Silla arrived at the aerodrome, the people to accompany him along in the mission already assembled.

Many of the people who were to head out on this mission were common Valerian farmers with samples of their crops from all different regions of the Empire to present to the Gwangmu Emperor. Valerian Law protects independent farmers and some larger, aristocratic farmers from agribusiness and gigantic, mass-production farms to protect the livelihoods of millions of citizens. Due to this, much of the Valerian population is still rural, ~40%, and all Valerian farmers belong to Soyuz Valerianovo Agrarinov,or United Valerian Agrarians, a corporation of sorts (but actually more of a collective). These farmers were small in scale, but were highly efficient thanks to government grants to help them purchase modern equipment and learn modern techniques. These farmers were wearing their best clothes, although they were nothing compared to some of the wealthier Valerians coming along with the trip. There were some craftsmen from the cities along for this journey as well. Some were street vendors, small shop owners, or independent goldsmiths, etc.

Some aristocrats were along for the ride as well, including an elegantly-dressed, young Valerian noblewoman around the age of 18. She was beautiful, with delicate features, green eyes, and sandy hair. Her face was covered by a light silky veil, and a velvety white dressed wrapped her body. She wore some jewelry, mostly silver, gold, and electrum with sapphires (a popular Valerian motif), wore large diamond earrings that dangled down from her ears, and wore a diamond circlet on her head. It was also rumored that she was looking for a husband, and that is one of her purposes of heading abroad - to find a foreign nobleman and bring him back to The Empire. This young girl was Akulina Krasnova, of moderately wealthy nobles from Aeola Province.

There were also some capitalists amongst the delegation to present their products and corporations to the Gwangmu Emperor to show off their goods and to ask to establish branches into the Han Empire's market. Valeririyk, Inc. is one of the leading companies of the empire and the empire's largest producer of steel. Valor Motors is the leading Valerian automobile company, known for its high-performance sports cars and comfortable sedans. Bogdan Distilleries also is a producer of liquors, including Valerian-style vodka flavored with all sorts of herbs (like anise, woodruff, tarragon, etc). Aytokratorike Corp. is the nation's best-known brand of cigarettes and tobacco products... all of this large-scale merchants prepared with a representative and some goods.

Along with these people were a few Orthodox priests and monks, representing the Valerian Orthodox Church. They were dressed in full liturgical robes and with their fully untrimmed beards. Some were muttering prayers for the safety of all the people on this trip. They were representing His Holiness Patriarch Feodor III, the spiritual leader of the Empire.

Finally, last but not least, the future ruler of the empire was to head to Gwangju. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ivan Alexandrovich was coming along for the journey as well. Although his father Alexander III was recently reported as dead, the Crown Prince was still coming along with the delegation. His coronation would be within a few months, but upon the death of his father, the prince's first action was to strike the Valerian Purity Laws out of Valerian law; this law was a guideline for who would be a suitable consort for the future emperor, and was ethnically charged against East Asians. The prince did this so that he could marry the love of his life: Tamar Izyaslavovna Suh, a Valerian Korean girl of a family that was ennobled a few decades ago.

"It is pleasure to see you, your imperial highness," greeted Silla as he bowed before Ivan. "How is your fiancée?"

"It is indeed a pleasure, Sir Lucanius Silla," replied the prince. Tamar hugged onto his arm, speaking up, "We are fine, my lord. Ivanko and I are going to try and arrange for an imperial wedding soon."

The two love each other very much, and Ivan was really looking to marry for love rather than for alliances with his fellow nations at the moment. They were coming along as to represent themselves as the future Emperor and Empress Consort of The Valerian Empire, and to also invite the Gwangmu Emperor and his court to both their wedding and their coronation in the near future.

The whole delegation left on a jet and headed for The Han Empire for their important diplomatic mission.

ooc: If it would make things easier I'll have him use 王 instead when dealing with your nation.

ooc: hmm, I guess I'll take your offer. I just need to clarify what your country's official name is in its own texts, so I can make the Haneo derivative; because Koreans call Japan "Ilbeon", not "Nippon".

I presume that your country's name is : 殿龘殷神上帝丿之霸權囯義?

IC:

On behalf of his Imperial Majesty, we are pleased to receive word from as civilized a nation as yours, and hopes that a welcome reunion banquet would be fitting for such diplomatic talks. Of course, the Empire wishes to invite your Sovereign Grace, if it is possible, to this festival - but seeing the dire nature of managing state affairs, we are perfectly aware that his attendance may be inhibited by domestic issues - to which the Empire will be glad to host his Majesty's official representatives.

As far an embassy establishment, it will take some time to arrange, but given our close ethnic heritage, separated by only years and not geographic isolation, we are nonetheless pleased to welcome old kin. We hope that these arrangements would be fitting for your Grace - as it is the Emperor's hospitality to invite our kin to restore recognition and relations between our two sovereign states.

We eagerly await an ample reply.

Count Han Seungsu
韓昇洙伯



To Deputy Minister Isan Sergeyevich Tsushchinokov:

When your envoy is ready, they shall be received at Gwangju (RL Guangzhou). The Emperor shall await your arrival at the Summer Palace.

Much is obliged to show welcome for His Imperial Majesty's Guests.

Count Han Seungsu
韓昇洙伯


IC otherwise:

The setting at the International Airport in Gwangju was hectic. People were racing around, ready to receive the airplane from Magnus Valerius (locally corrupted to a more simple "Daebari'ung"). Many questions needed answers - how big was the plane? When would they arrive? How many people were coming? Who was coming?

In any case, the Emperor had arranged to have a convoy of gold and silver welcome the guests from abroad. As was custom to all Imperial envoys of public nature, the guests were to receive gifts from the beneficient Emperor, whose grace and majesty were demonstrated in the majesty of His Imperial Majesty's gifts to the guests. It was tradition well played back to the Song Emperors, who would refuse tributes from states that were "too magnificent" to be worthy of His Majesty's grace. Of course, those times were gone, but the tradition still remained, regardless of whether the Emperor or his retinue would care to continue it or not. Hospitality was a function of the host, not the guest.

In due time, the airplane would arrive, with little fuss, the direct access to the Summer Palace - an underground tunnel of about some 16 kilometers - would take the guests to the middle of the Summer Palace's gardens, where the Emperor and his Court would be waiting for them to receive them.

To: Count Han Seungsu
From: Ambassador Be esks2 Hu

Unfortunately our sovereign can not come at this time due to domestic issues. I as well as Ambassador Re5 en Rhea1 are able to come at the current time to meet with the proper officials, and will depart for your nation upon your approval. We intend to use a converted Boeing 737, if this would be a problem please say so.

OOC: Hmm... should I have said how many people and what plane?

IC:

The Valerian delegation, numbering 103 people and all their gifts and goods, were flying comfortably on a comfortable Antanas Aircraft B709 (OOC: slightly smaller than 747). Valerians were mercantilistic, and they always supported home-manufactured goods and vehicles; Boeing is a rare name found at Valerian airports except when foreign air services are concerned. As the Han workers soon found out, the plane was to arrive right after they had finished preparations. Some were not part of the delegation, but attendants to the wealthier Valerians that were along for this trip.

In Valerian, China became known as "Han Zemloy", or Land of the Han due to earlier relations that began back during the Han Dynasty ages ago. Some dialects also refer to the place as "Khan Zemloy", perhaps an allusion to the Yuan Dynasty (or from the inability of some provincial dialects to use the 'h' sound).

The Valerians have landed at Guangzhou. The first to emerge was a few Imperial Guards, armed with their rifles and with their distinctive bearskin hats. After they had arranged themselves off the plane, one stepped forward and announced in a booming voice,

"His Imperial Majesty, Tsar Ivan V!"

A young man emerged from the plane, no more than 19 years of age. He was just until a while ago Crown Prince Ivan, but the sudden death of his father in battle has sped up his succession. Ivan still wore the traditional white and red uniform of the crown prince, even if he was now officially emperor. On his left was Tamar Suh, his recent fiancée, in a simple women's suit. She, too, was quite young at 18.

H.I.M. Ivan V

To Ambassador Be esks2 Hu:

We are able to accommodate your arrival. We are able to entertain your people at the Summer Palace in Gwangju.


IC Otherwise:

The Imperial Reception at the airport was a little startled to see any sovereign make an entrance to a foreign land using soldiers. Typically, the Han would have a designated speaker announce the Emperor's arrival - as it was in the West (that is, all lands West of Han; there is no land "east" of Han - except maybe Japan...), they preferred their soldiers.

The Imperial Reception Company was all dressed in regal attire, and a convoy of cars accompanied them. There were few soldiers present, although those among them were noted Hwarang elite - knights of the Empire. They were trained in martial arts, skilled with their weapons, and disciplined beyond comprehension - of those many youths who join the Hwarang, only a select few ever become among the elite Hwarang.

The remainder of the company was a party of Imperial officials, scribes, and attendants. They waited for the Tsar's arrival, and upon his announced appearance, the Chief Imperial Scribe - at least the one appointed for this task stepped forward: "By virtue of his Imperial Majesty's Grace, the Regent of All Under Heaven and whose Majesty bids you welcome - the Emperor Gwangmu - it is our pleasure to welcome you to the Great Han Empire. The city of Gwangju furthermore wishes you goodness and health to your family."

The honorific greeting aside, the Officials opened the way to the convoy, and offered the visiting party the way to the vehicles. "His Imperial Majesty awaits your arrival at the Summer Palace. We will take the Tunnel, which will give us direct access to His Imperial Majesty's residence." At that, they brought them through the tunnel and out to the Summer Palace, at once immersed in the Imperial Gardens there.

Ambassador Be esks2 Hu and Ambassador Re5 en Rhea1 boarded the 737 as it was loaded with various gifts and supplies. One of the sovereign's favorite wives, Sa a Da Kle _, had decided that she wanted to go at the last minuet also boarded the plane. With them there were also a number of lower ranked official (14), servants (28), and guards (8).

Among the cargo were live frogs, yellow chives, live oysters, green onion, dried oysters, hot peppers, deer tongues, pig's blood, luffa, live crabs, young coconuts, duck blood, bananas, live carp, oranges, live snakes, apple pears, live mullet, sweet corn, live lobsters, cabbages, live shrimps, lettuces, green beans, live clams, potatoes, live turtles, lotus roots, a whole cow, live seahorses, pig tongues and hearts, raccoon dogs, rabbits, badgers, live squids, live mantis shrimps, live octopuses, live scallops, live sea cucumbers, cucumbers, live cats, live dogs, turmeric, asafoetida, seaweeds, ginseng, live pigeons, live geese, live duck, live chickens, Chinese broccoli, a whole pig, live sharks, live eels, live poison blow fish, live abalone, elephant trunk, camel hump, cardamom, nutmeg, a live ostrich, whale meet, gazelle meat, bee larvae, crocodile meat, horse meat, bull penises, and peacock brains just to list a few of the items for human consumption.

The plane took off and the ambassadors were on their way to the Empire of the Han.

IC Otherwise:

The events at Gwangu were hectic. First, the Valerians; now the Monkyeen people. Who knew what they would do - it had been a long time since anyone had heard or seen anyone of their kind, even in the history books. Of course, these were the times to reunite with lost kin, even if it meant awkward moments. So, the Imperial Delegation awaited the arrival; at least these people sent an itinerary.


ooc: my question still stands - your country's name is : 殿龘殷神上帝丿之霸權囯義?

OoC:

That what it is called in the my [NS] country but your nation can call it what you want...

殿(His Majesty)龘殷神(Mon Kye En)上帝丿(The Supreme Sovereign/God)之('s)霸權囯義(Hegemony/Empire) but it is 龘殷囯 or 殷 for short...

If you want you can name it 물고기

OoC:

That what it is called in the my [NS] country but your nation can call it what you want...

殿(His Majesty)龘殷神(Mon Kye En)上帝丿(The Supreme Sovereign/God)之('s)霸權囯義(Hegemony/Empire) but it is 龘殷囯 or 殷 for short...

If you want you can name it 물고기

물고기 = fish meat

I certainly hope that you don't want me call your people "fish meat" I'll get something up, but thanks for the clarification.

I don't want my nation to be called Fish (in Korean) but I doubt Rome wished to be called bird net or gauze

The 737 flew through the air over international waters. Saa had grown impatient and decided to toy with Beesks Hu. She took the last sip of her young coconut juice, got out of her chair and walked up behind where Beesks Hu was sitting. Beesks Hu was busy reading reports of the status of the various Embassies that were being set up throughout the world, and also did not have the keenest hearing due mostly to his age. Saa jumped up from behind Beesks Hu's seat, balanced her stomach on top of it, wrapped her arms around Beesks Hu's shoulders, pressed her bosom against his head, and looked him in the face upside down and smiling impishly.

Though his glasses were knocked off, and Saa's long black hair obscured his reports, the 4'11 youth failed to faze Beesks Hu.

"Saa, I hope you don't plan to do this in front of the Han." said Beesks Hu in his calm but high voice. He added "The Supreme Sovereign may let you do whatever you want in his court, and even build you a forest of meat trees and a lake of wine but jepordizing the international relations of the nation is far more serious than wasting the budget"

Saa pouted and said "Re_ Mraa_ don't be so cruel" She fained tear and added "I'm just trying to be friendly". She kicked her legs back, flipped over the chair and landed on Beesks Hu's lap... crushing his glasses. "Oops" she said laughing, and smiling fiendishly.

Beesks Hu stood up, causing Saa to fall to the ground, and said "The Supreme Sovereign may find you entertaining but I do not." He stepped over her and headed to the back of the plain where his bag, and a few extra pair of glasses were stored.

Saa yelled after him "Your no fun!"

As Beesks Hu walked passed Reen Rhea_, Reen Rhea_ quietly, and nervously asked "Do you think she will be a problem?"

Beesks Hu confidently turned to Reen Rhea_, sighed, smiled and said "No... Saa just plays the fool, If she really was dangerous do you think The Supreme Sovereign would let her go?"

Reen Rhea_ "I guess your right"

Saa got up went back to her seat, and said curtly to the servant next to her "Tell the Chef I want Shredded Pork Cat Ears" 肉猫耳朵... has no cat in it

*****************************************************
Hours later, over the Han Empire

"Mon Kye Aircraft number 999 to control tower, requesting permission to land, over."

ooc: I was speaking out of context...

IC reply:

The radio frequency came through, and surprisingly the control master understood the speech. He glanced at the radar and nodded to the man sitting in front of him. He gave a quick reply: "Gwangdong International Airport - Control Tower to Mon Kye Aircraft Flight 999, permission granted. Please follow concourse 64. I repeat, permission granted. Please follow concourse 64. Over."

The 737 came in for landing as directed by the Gwangdong International Airport Control Tower. It lumbered in the air, its speed dropping, as its landing gear came out. The aircraft closed to the ground, it landing gear touched, and after a few bumpy seconds, the aircraft came to a stop.

What does your airport use for the unloading and loading of passengers? (i.e. Stairs on the plane, Stares brought to the plane, A bridges the plane taxis to...)

As soon as Emperor Ivan V emerged from the plane with his future empress, the Han would only see many more people emerge from the plane from all stratas of Valerian society. Immediately after the Imperials was Paulus Lucanius Silla, the diplomat, and after him were the numerous Valerians that signed up to make this journey to Han Zemloy. Many of the farmers who came along were dressed in traditional Valerian clothing, such as baggy trousers and loose tunics. Many were bearded. As for the peasant women who came, they wore their hair in long braids and wore brilliantly-colored sarafans. Many carried various produce from all over the empire. Some of the peasants were hunters in bear-fur coats with some meat (including bear, a regional favorite of East Valeria). The farmers, who were already singing some folk songs, thought the travel west to get to the Land of the Han was well worth the trip.

The emperor bowed to the scribe. "Most honorable Excellency, it is most honorable to offer us hospitality in your empire. I am humbled by your emperor for such a welcome. The city of Guangzhou has spared little expense – and is truly a magnificent city." Ivan then introduced Tamar Suh, future empress, who curtsied, and the two and the rest piled into the motorcade to head towards the Summer Palace in Gwangju.

Ivan stepped out of the car first with Tamar and Paulus Lucanius Silla. "Such fine gardens!" Lucanius Silla remarked. "Fit for an emperor, of course..."

Ivan, too, immersed himself within the gardens of the Summer Palace. He and Tamar strolled through the gardens to view some flora that weren't really around the Valerian palaces for viewing - unless they went to either of the Imperial Palaces in New Alexandria or New Isangrad, in the rather tropical colony of Shorehaven. The peaceful East Asian style of tranquil ponds and pools could probably be half-heartedly attempted by Valerian gardeners, who rather use fountain pools, floral trees, well-kept flowerbeds and statuary; however, the Han were experts at creating a natural sense of tranquility in their gardens.

Silla rounded up the Valerians that were included on the trip to present his "presentation of the peoples of The Valerian Empire" to the Gwangmu Emperor. The seductive young noblewoman and heiress Akulina Krasnova winked at one of the Han soldiers guarding the complex as she emerged with her aristocratic regalia and with a servant and a lady-in-waiting. An orthodox priest, with his sacramental robes on, muttered a blessing upon the Han citizens who helped the old man out of his car. Various Valerian farmers with their produce to offer to the emperor began chatting with each other and smoked cigarettes.

Ivan V and Tamar planned to go first before before the emperor before Silla and the others were to come through. They walked through the gardens and were soon waiting for their audience with the Gwangmu Emperor.

ooc: we bring stairs to the plane...

IC @ Mon Kye En:

The plane came to a stop and immediately, attendants brought the stairs to permit those present to debark the plane. Meanwhile, a greater host of attendants waited for the dignitaries to arrive and reveal themselves to their long lost brethren; what would they look like?

IC @ Magnus Valerius

As they watched the flowers, an attendant was busily seeking out the Emperor. The gardens at the Summer Palace were more extensive than those at the Imperial City in the Capital, but for obvious reasons, Gwangju was his favorite home. The Emperor was caught on his horse riding through the maze with his son and daughther, busily catching butterflies (at least his daughter was - who knew where the Empress was). The scribe immediately rushed to the Emperor, bowing slightly and informing him of the circumstances - "His Imperial Majesty, the Valerians have come!"

The Emperor looked down and nodded. "It is about this time. We should not leave them waiting for us." Immediately, the Emperor rode with his son to the main meeting area. The other scribes had busily been gathering the ministers of the court to the Meeting Pavilion - a temple-like structure near the entrance to the Airport. The Valerian Emperor was already ready to receive the Emperor when Gwangmu Emperor arrived on the scene. His horse was a brilliant white steed from Mongolia, a gift from the Weon King - it was a typical gift from the King of Mongolia. His son was riding a similar horse. The two of them were wearing Hwarang knight costumes. It was a tradition for the Han Emperors to become Hwarang knights, and it seemed obvious that the Emperor was training his heir to follow in his steps.

The Emperor, seeing the Valerian Emperor, stepped down, removed his helmet and approached the Valerian Emperor, bidding him forward. "It is so good to see you. I was concerned that you might not be able to arrive today, but I see that you are well. Please. Bring your company forward to the Pavilion where we may settle our affairs more neatly."

(ooc: It's proper to introduce oneself after they have been settled into their new environment, after which we may introduce our formal names - it's awkward, I know, but it's tradition)

The Gwangmu Emperor and his son, as they approached the Valerian Emperor and his future empress, impressed the two. Ivan himself was impressed of the fine tradition of horsemanship that the Han keep alive, much like the Valerian emperors. Every Valerian Emperor is to be able to ride a horse and fight amongst the Cossacks or cavalry of the empire as part of his tutelage for the throne, a fine tradition started impromptu ages ago but fully established and codified by the Emperor Ivan I (r. 1615 - 1649) - Ivan I was a full-fledged cossack and decreed that all his descendants and successors would be part of a cossack host. All emperors were either part of the Imperial Cavalry or a cossack host; Ivan V's father Alexander III was part of the Valerian Cavalry and fell valiantly in battle after a brief reign a little over one year (which explains why Ivan V is so young). Ivan V himself is part of the prestigious Valerianid Cossacks and is close friends with that host's hetman.

The young emperor bowed with his wife and Paulus Lucanius Silla, who ran up and also stooped down to the floor to greet the Gwangmu Emperor. Emperor Ivan greeted the emperor first. "Anh young, your excellency," the young emperor said - he did know Korean, so speaking the main court language of the Han Empire probably should impress the Gwangmu Emperor. "Yes, let us convene upon the Pavilion."

The Valerian Emperor and everyone else followed the Han into the Pavilion. The various Valerians poured into the complex, awaiting for Lucanius Silla to begin his elaborate presentation - but only after Ivan and the Gwangmu Emperor got acquainted and exchanged each other's names in formalities.

The Gwangmu Emperor spoke first - being polite to introduce first as the host of his guest: "It is a rare habit of our guests to have any familiarity with our culture, but it seems that our people have traveled far and wide around the world." The Emperor nodded in the direction of the Emperor's consort. "But let us not forget our manners. I am Yi Myeongbok, the Gwangmu Emperor, the Most Serene Regent of All Under Heaven, the Emperor of All Han." (incidentally, in the order as it would be spoken in Chinese/Korean) He turned to the Crown Prince: "This is Crown Prince Myeong - he has been learning the manifests of running the state and how to become the supreme being of all people in the lands of Han. It is necessary that the leader be most fit for his tasks, for a weak leader will surely fall and fail to impress and advance his people." The Crown Prince bowed, keeping his hand away from his side arm - an act that conveyed trust and respect. With that, servants came all sides of the Pavilion and brought a table with tea for them to enjoy.

In the meantime, the Emperor bade from his guests - "And I may inquire of your identity and your reasons for such a long and arduous voyage from Daebalriung (the Korean way of saying "Magnus Valerius")?"

The Valerian Emperor smiled with Tamar. The Gwangmu Emperor introduced himself, and Ivan acted accordingly by also introducing himself, with his long Valerian official title. Ivan knew Korean well, and spoke to the Gwangmu Emperor in his mother tongue.

"I am Ivan Alexandrovich, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ivan V, Son of Alexander III, Fourth Emperor of the Borivich-Vassilakos-Seleukios-Kalderis Dynasty, By the Grace of God Emperor of The Valerian Empire and Beregavan (OOC: or Shorehaven) and Its Dependencies, Grand Prince of Vedus, Descendant of The Great Isander, Ruler and Protector of the Valerian People Under the Heavens."

Ivan paused and then added, "Since we are acquainted, please, call me Ivan for short."

The young Valerian emperor continued as soon as Silla arrived with the other Valerians. Once the tea was served the Valerian imperials immediately requested some.

"This is my future empress, Tamar Izyaslavovna Suh. She is a most charming woman and will be a great empress."

Tamar curtsied and said (albeit in Valerian), "Many blessings of health upon you, Your Imperial Majesty, Emperor of Han Zemloy." Ivan translated for her after she spoke.

"I see that your son, the young Crown Prince Myeong, is learning well. I hope to do the same for my future son and crown prince as well. How old, may I ask, is His Highness Myeong?"

Ivan wondered about possible dynastic ties in the future; Valerian Imperials were none too skittish to marry off their children to foreign houses, no matter where they hailed from (unlike many standard Western royal houses). Ivan did have several younger sisters and marriages could be arranged between Crown Prince Myeong and a desirable Borivich girl if relations improved later on between the two empires. There was still time, since all of Ivan's siblings were in their minority (except for Charlotte, who was now Queen of Brasland, and Pyetr, who is now Crown Prince).

As soon as the Gwangmu Emperor inquired about all of the other Valerians, Paulus Lucanius Silla emerged and began conversing with the emperor in Korean.

"I am Paulus Silla, of the Lucanius clan. These are the various Valerians who have presents for His Imperial Majesty the Gwangmu Emperor, and who wish to present our empire to yours."

OOC2: Will continue with Silla in my next post... it's late and i'm tired. :P

I will wait for the continuation post. Take your time.

In the meantime, other people (including those whom I also recognized) are free to come here and make their inquiries. PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT AN EMBASSY WITH ANYONE THAT SIMPLY ASKS FOR ONE. You must come to me and beg for one - "beg" as in, we RP something together and I can determine the value of establishing an embassy with you, as it should be.

The Office Of The Mapmaker

Would the Han not consider the recognition of the Emirate of South Thasland? We would greatly appreciate the gesture, and would be more than happy to return the favor. We would hope that this would be the start of more formal ties with the Han, one that would undoubtedly benefit all parties. An emissary would be considered once ties have been established.

An Imperial Declaration through the Imperial Academy of Foreign Affairs:

The Emperor Gwangmu of the Celestial Regency of the Great Han Empire wishes to impart to all around the world a very great and happy New Year, and wishes also for the most prosperous and happy year for all, enemies and friends alike. The Empire has made great and steady progress in establishing itself as a renowned state, albeit progress has been slow. But the slow progress has made such advances acceptable to the people and the people are receiving the benefits of international renown. We are pleased that we can count many in the world as friends.

We are still dismayed to hear of wars and rumors of wars. We have seen atrocities abroad, ranging from wild and raucous xenophobic tendencies to attempts to instill fear in many foreign peoples. The enemies of peace and stability are enemies to all people, regardless of political, economic, social, and cultural identity. We have hopes that the New Year will usher to the world a new sense of responsibility to maintain peace and order - that the states considered rogue and barbaric will see the light of civilization and take heed of the principles of harmony and reason. There is no reason for conflict when all humanity can see these truths, but as long as such vices exist, the Empire shall stand ready to confront them.

As the voice of the Empire to the world, it is our distinct honor and duty to inform all countries that the Empire will be seeking a new opporunity to strengthen our extant relationships, to facilitate the establishment of embassies abroad and to promote the awareness of the Han culture and technology. These plans remain in preparation, but it is our hope that we can realize these plans soon, and to the benefit for all of our dear friends near and far.

The Imperial Family imparts their wishes as well, and as we wish you peace and prosperity, we have our hopes that the world may recognize the sacred duty of man to reflect on life and the blessings given to us by the Heavens, and that such blessings - the result of the divine or of circumstance - are to be cherished and appreciated by all.

To others, if you haven't noticed, there's quite a bit of prime real estate sitting next door to my lands. Much of it I intend to have neighbors. Just to say now, in the near future, I hope to fill these "unclaimed" lands with friendly live neighbors (not puppets), although I am not quite ready yet for regional dynamics. So on that note, if any of you are deeply interested in havinng a homeland and you have no existing homelands/colonies yet, then I may have a geographic solution for you in the coming future. But this is just an interest statement; I'm not going to allow any neighbors until I'm politically ready for it.

We ask that suitable accommodation be given to Mr. Eckstein's wife and daughter and he asks that she be enrolled in a Han school if possible. If not, he understands fully.

ooc: wow... I've got to pay more attention to this thread...

OOC: Let's see... where did i leave off? It's been a long time. Had no internet for a while.

IC:

P. Lucanius Silla, the envoy officially appointed to greet the Gwangmu Emperor and give him a presentation of the glories of Magnus Valerius first introduced the numerous farmers, ranchers and growers who made the trip to showthe various crops that Valerians had to offer in trade.

"Zdrastvuritiye. Ya Simyeon, iz Vostokskoy Valeriy, i ya prodaryu arbuziy dlya teibya."

Silla immediately translated for the emperor, along with adding on some flair to the rather short and humble words of the farmer.

"Your Majesty, here we have a melon farmer from East Valeria province. He offers his finest melons from the River Alai Floodplains for his emperor's private consumption, and would be glad to see some of his produce appear in market stalls here in Han Zemloy."

Next a rice farmer from Kydonia approached. He was a rather unshaven man in baggy clothing and had a slight inflexion in his voice due to cigarette smoking. Nevertheless, he showed the proper etiquette at the court and knelt before the Gwangmu Emperor with his gift.

"Moy Koryosky Aytokratorik, Meinya zovut Pavil Alekseyevich Pamikov - oryssovoy agrikultnik. Ya zhivü obo-Isangradye. Oryss dlya teibya."

"Ahh yes... we've got a farmer with some fine Valerian rice. Rice is one of the staples of the Valerian diet, every since the ancestors of ethnic Valerians settled on the River Vedus and its marshy banks - a place perfect for growing rice. Mr. Pamikov comes from outside Isangrad and wishes to offer some Vedus Rice. This strain of rice has a slight nutty flavor, fine texture, and a very pleasing aroma..."

Another low-class Valerian citizen approached and without a word, poured the Gwangmu Emperor a steaming hot drink that smelled of spices and honey. The pitiful man carried two heavy brass containers with spigots from which this drink came from, kept warm by the occassional heating.

"Dlya Han-gükskovo Aytokratorika - sbiten."

"This man is a sbitenshchik, a man that makes and sells a warm drink, sbiten. It is made from honey and all sorts of spices. A very healthy and fulfilling drink, that is enjoyed alongside tea in Magnus Valerius and, once in Russia as well - a truly Slavic drink."

The various Valerians offered their gifts and greetings to the emperor, bowing down to the floor and placing their foreheads on the ground to show proper respect. Numerous things, from food, drink, liquors, and exotic animals and plants were presented to the emperor. Unique Valerian things were also presented, such as traditional Valerian dishes or Valerian articles of clothing. The most interesting proposal, however, came from the young noblewoman and heiress, Akulina Krasnova. Krasnova fluttered her eyelashes and curtsied gracefully before approaching the Gwangmu Emperor with her reason for accompanying the party. She was a very attractive woman, with smooth skin, a youthful, upbeat attitude, emerald-green eyes and sandy blond hair.

"Most noble emperor," she began, "I have come here to Han Zemloy to offer my hand in marriage to a fitting young nobleman from your nation. My father wishes for me to get some fresh foreign blood in our line, and I would like to ask if you would have a nobleman in your court who had a young second son or anyone who would like to come back to The Valerian Empire with me and elope and run our estate. My father has few days left on this earth, and as I am in line to succeed him, surely there is a man in this empire worthy of calling me his betrothed bride?"

The Orthodox priests who came with this diplomatic mission rushed alongside Akulina and bowed as well.

"God Bless You, Your Imperial Majesty, and greetings from Patriarch Feodor III of the Valerian Orthodox Church. He would like to know if we can have a small mission here, and perhaps establish a monastery somewhere here in Kanton. We would also offer our services to wed Miss Krasnova here to whomever will take her!"

OOC2: Valerian is well, kinda like a bastardization of Russian with a tiny bit of added Greek, English, and Latin I guess. :p

ooc: wow... I've got to pay more attention to this thread...

OOC2: Valerian is well, kinda like a bastardization of Russian with a tiny bit of added Greek, English, and Latin I guess. :p

We were in Gwangju? I forget too...

The Emperor, hearing the requests of all those who came before him and said, "I am sorry to say that all matters of business must be addressed to the Agency for Imperial Contracts (link in my siggy - AICC). Nonetheless, I am pleased with the variety of products that Valeria can offer the Han. I am encouraged that you may come here, and thus offer us your produce. We are certain that the Agency may render similar products and services to Valeria."

To the Lady Krasnova, he was a little curious. "It is interesting that you should come here looking for a husband. Usually, it is the man who comes looking for the woman. And having just surrendered a daughter of Han to another fine gentleman, I can say it will be much harder for me to return a man for you. Nonetheless, you are free to stay and make your interest known to the nobility. I must remind you that the only nobility that remain are in fact the Imperial Family and the Royal Families of Joseon and Jonam. I am fairly certain that the Crown Prince of the Jonam King will be looking for a bride soon, and it would probably bring much honor to his family to marry into a foreign family. It is not often that the Kings of the people can find opportunities to travel abroad except at my invitation. And I am aware that I do not invite them often. If it pleases you, I may permit your travel to Malnira sometime."

To the priests of the Valerian Orthodox Church, he said confidently.

"By the edicts of my grandfather, the practice of religion is unhindered by the Empire. It is therefore permissible for your Church to establish a church here in Gwangju. It is in fact the best place to establish a new church, because of the diversity here. I must caution you though, as I have cautioned other churchs - the Han do not practice religion as a matter of doctrine but rather as a manner of living. It is therefore difficult for any one Han to say that he follows any one religion, as each Han is permitted to practice his religious beliefs in a manner as he chooses. For this reason, many Han do. But as long as your church does not persecute those who meld the practices of living, you are free to do anything you please within the limits of the law. It is nonetheless important for your Church to find a sponsor for your Church to establish any building projects. I doubt that it will be difficult to find a Han citizen to sponsor your Church, as the visit by many monks for a football match left behind many converts. I just wish to note that sponsorship does not constitute ownership, and while not required, it certainly makes the process much easier for you. I have seen many projects stalled because the laws were too stringent against foreigners, something I hope the Imperial Assembly is willing to change. Once you have established yourself, you may wed any who choose to be wed in your manner."

And when the Emperor had ceased to talk, he waited to hear from the Valerian Emperor.

We are pleased that a country of your stature would be willing to reciprocate recognition of our states, and we do so willingly. We realize that recognition is often trivial, but it also often leads to great friendships. We hope that you can be counted among those who cherish the wealth of friendship. We further hope that we can make future business with your country, perhaps even an embassy exchange in the future as well.

The Armed Federal Republic is likewise pleased that the Han Empire has recognized us. Recognition can indeed be trivial. However, we agree that it should not be taken lightly, especially between nations of our size. We eagerly anticipate further interactions between our two nations in the future. An embassy exchange is perhaps not too far off in the future, but, either way, we look forward to pleasant and amicable relations for years to come.

On behalf of the Emperor of the Empire of the Confederate States of the East and West Isles of Bostopia, Emperor Boston, I wish to extend our hand in friendship to our Han friends, and hope this gestured is returned in kind.

Wish best wishes for our combined futures, and working closely together

Daniel Henrik
Foreign Secretary, Confederate States of Bostopia

To Whomever It May Concern,

I believe we do each other a disservice. You have no embassy in our nation, we do not have recognition, and yet the fine people who represent your country in the field of association football are visiting our very land!

Let us rectify this forthwith.

On behalf of MORFA

UNIFIED CAPITALIZT STATES
1093 B St, International City, Capital Territory

The Unified Capitalizt States, in the interest of opening new avenues of trade for the residents of both nations, petition the Han Empire for official recognition. In addition to financial benefits, we believe that more formal relations would allow a renewed Han influence to enrich the Syokaji culture present within the States. We welcome the Han Empire to establish an embassy in the International City, though we have no capacity to reciprocate. We hope to build a lasting relationship between these two regions that may continue for many years to come.

Chief Executive Officer, Unified Capitalizt States

Congratulations! Your name is officially the longest name we have on our records, beating out the United Socialist States of New Brittonia and the United Socialist States of Zintharia (15 characters each). As you may be able to notice, your name is a gigantic 16 characters. I hope that you are proud of your great achievement. We're also pleased to cultivate better ties with your country, hoping to avoid future miscommunication with your country and your government.

開通亞同盟省道

We are pleased to recognize the United Provinces of Krytenia, and we are sincerely sorry that we did not have the time to recognize you earlier. However, we never received an application for official recognition, and we can only hope that the mob (ooc: my citizens) have not established any false terms associated with Krytenia. We hope that we will continue improve our relations nonetheless.

We are confused as to why we never had you in our database. Following your participation in the Oriental Football Cup, your country's name should have been added to our list of recognized states. Of course, the practice was suspended after the 3rd edition, but we're glad that you've decided to remind us to update our logs. As to an embassy exchange, we're willing to arrange one, but not until we can manage our foreign affairs department (which unfortunately, does not reside under our purview). We will alert you on this update when it does occur.

To: Count Han Seungsu
From: Lady Aurora Jansen (aurora@foreign.gov.sb)
Subject: Recognition and Embassy exchange

Greetings,

Firstly may I introduce myself as Lord-Protector Starblayde's Foreign Minister.

Here in Starblaydia we have a healthy Han population, as shown by the composition of our national football team in the recent Fourth Oriental Football Cup, and feel that the time is long overdue for an official diplomatic recognition between our two nations. I am also inquiring with a view to economic and cultural ties, particularly in regard to the business of football (I hear rumours that a number of Starblaydi companies are expressing interest in NFL teams for purchasing and sponsorship).

I also gather from my sources that you would term my nation '星發夜|성발야', translated to English as 'Star leaves night', is this a translation of syllables or does it have a deeper meaning in relation to the nation itself?

In peace,

- signed -

Lady Aurora Jansen,
Foreign Minister,
Protectorate of Starblaydia

星發夜保護國

We have received your request, and as there is no outstanding against accepting, we are pleased to have formally formalized relations with Starblaydia. For a matter of reference, your Han name will now be recognized as "Seong-bal-ya" - which can be interpreted blandly as "Star leaving night", or perhaps poetically as "The Stars cut through the night and impart brilliance." It doesn't say that, but it wants to say it. The word 發|발 is used in many connotations, among these "to send", "to emit", "to dispatch", "to impart", or "to develop." "Bal" is not typically used to describe "star" or "night", but in your case, we can make the definition fit as needed to suggest that your country is a land, a beacon of civilization (the star) shining ("bal") in the darkness of barbarians (night).

Regardless, we are now officially formal partners, and we look forward to hearing your inquiries into the Han economy, as I am fairly certain that some of our own companies were sponsoring certain endeavors brought by your country (i.e. DBC, WC40, etc...). While not within Imperial regulations, these companies have helped promote international recognition with countries not officially recognized - and we glad to see you as one among them.

On Behalf of His Imperial Majesty, we are pleased to accept this proposal. We'd say more, but I think that it's unnecessary at the moment, and we look forward to future contacts between our two great countries.

With all of the Valerians in the delegation presented, Paulus Lucanius Silla kowtowed before both emperors and excused himself back to the crowd of Valerians.

Lady Krasnova smiled and responded to the Han Emperor's offer. "I would be quite interested in meeting the Crown Prince of Jonamdo. I would be most honored if you were to allow me to travel to Maniliya. I trust that he is a most charming nobleman worthy of my hand." With that, the Valerian noblewoman melded into the crowd behind the Valerian Emperor, looking on with her delicate features.

The Valerian clergymen kowtowed and thanked the emperor. "We will try to find a sponsor at once, although I am sure that the Patriarchate of Saint Valerian at home in The Valerian Empire has more than enough funds to sponsor itself in the construction of churches and chapels here, but if laws are different, we shall abide by them."

After all was said and done, the Valerian Emperor and approached the Han emperor. "Well, my new friend, I do wish to offer you and your imperial clan an invitation to my coronation to be held sometime in the future. I would also request that I can hold an Imperial wedding here on the island of Jeju, for it is my consort's ancestral land."

OOC: Dae, did you abandon this thread?

ooc: nope, I just haven't been checking all too often :P

I'll presume that we'll start off from where we left off, considering that the Emperor Gwangmu abdicated in favor for his son - the Emperor Yeongmu.

OOC:

Yep, we resume where we left off... if that's okay with you. :)

I would also request that I can hold an Imperial wedding here on the island of Jeju, for it is my consort's ancestral land."

(ooc: be aware that the Gwangmu Emperor has abdicated and that the present Emperor is now the Yeongmu Emperor - but since this takes place before the events of the Gwangmu Emperor's abdication, I'll still refer to the Emperor occasionally as the Gwangmu Emperor)

The Emperor acknowledged the Lady Kraznova and told her, " I will speak to the King of Jonamdo. We will see what kind of arrangements we can afford for you. By all means, you are welcome to visit the city, and we can arrange your itinerary at the moment. If you wish to leave soon, I can notify the Royal Household. Be aware though - liberalized ideas have made speaking for a bribe a little different than what has been custom. Men of royalty do not look for a bride simply for children - they look for comfort and company, the sense of companionship. Love - it's spoiled the children, but made their families stronger. I have no doubts that you have the qualities of a fine young woman who seeks companionship as well."

The Emperor gazed upon the clergymen and acknowledged their respect as well. "You have my permission to do as you please with the law. And the law is not harsh. Hopefully, we can look to the inspiration of the Valerian Church in its foundation of another foreign religious establishment."

Finally, he noted the respect of the Valerian Emperor. He heeded his words and spoke almost immediately in return. "If I can have the time to attend. There are matters at home (i.e. Mujeongbu terrorists) that keep me occupied at home, and they are matters that cannot be ignored so lightly. I hope that you do not take it as an insult if I were to send my son - the Crown Prince Myeong (present Emperor Yeongmu) - to in my stead. He is not yet Emperor, but in matters of respect, he is second only to me. As for the wedding, I see no qualms with it. All Han have a desire to return home after some time, be it a few days or many generations; I fully grant it. And if the King of Joseon would protest, he will know that I allow it."
