Official Kampferian Invitation
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/imdmill/kampferianseal.jpg

Kampfers would like to invite all of your heads-of-state to Kampfers Stadt for a meeting. In the meeting, the turbulent state of affairs of this world will be discussed, along with the possibilities for a lasting peace.

Fuhrer Richtoff

OOC: Just RP your guys arriving and chatting if you want, I may have to leave soon. Ya'll already know the deal anyways.

Modesto Vega read the short message for the third time. He knew little about this nation, but he knew about their government - fascists. The oppressors of people, and a government type that the High Commissionar disliked above Capitalists. But Vega was more tolerant, another reason he thought why he should be leader, and would rather see this nation as there friend not foe. An alliance with The Mediterranean nations would give him long lasting, and needed, peace, and would help the nations in that area rule the seas. The Socialist Republic had the largest navy out of the bunch; it would be foolish for them not to appear.

To Fuhrer Richtoff,

I, Modesto Vega, not the leader of my nation but the fourth most powerful person within it, will attend this conference. I also desire a Mediterranean Union, and will assist you in working towards that goal.
Signed,
Commissioner Modesto Vega


OOC: I'm off now, so if the meeting starts, you can say I arrived by plane. Don't start signing anything yet though lol.

OOC Kampf I think if you just call me Waldenburg everyone will understand.

"So I'm told but if it did happen the entire continent would be under water. And you can't tell me that it would be economically beneficial." Patrin sipped his glass of unknown liquid which had been pushed bodily into his hand, it was rather flap in his opinion, but did the job of relieving the splitting headache he had when he flew by jet.

He was the first ambassador to arrive that he could tell, though minor dignitaries floated around, a few of which he had engaged in conversation, and obviously the occasional waiter padded by. Patrin fiddled with his auggilete, the Chancellor was forced to wear about four pounds of gold tapestry any time he went out and his arm, along with his head ached with it all.

"Any Idea when we begin?"

OOC: Lol, ok. Bump for everyone else to arrive, then I'll give some short speech and we can start the haggling.

Commissioner Modesto Vega arrived, with his "trail" of four men, all carrying suitcases and paperwork, and two laptops. He looked around the room, waiting for something to happen.

OOC: I have no clue where Wandy is, and Courbournne is never on except the weekends, so I'm gonna go ahead and start. We have their approval via TG anyways, we cna just assume they are here...

IC:

"Delegates, friends, co-politicians, In the turbulent state of our time it is best when a group of nations can ally together for the common good. Such is what we have gathered here today to discuss. Each of your nations lies at a strategic point on the Medditerannean. Kampfers controls the Canal, Honako controls Gilbitrar, Waldenburg controls Bosporus, Wanderjar controls the oil, and Courbourrne remains a key member of the sea. If the five of us unite under an alliance, it would allow us the complete control to shut down trade to any Mediteranean port and apply fierce diplomatic pressure. Several people here harbor discontent for Grunder Industries. Their Northern ports freeze over in the winter, and if they had no southern ports, they would bow to our demands. This is just an example of how our power may be used, not a plot. While a military alliance, this would also provide economic benefits for the rest of us, as we would have strengthened trade relations with each other. Also, this alliance would allow for the inclusion of other members later, such as Barronia and her fleets. What do you think?"

"I have some issues." Vega said predictably. The Socialists always caused trouble.

"Barronia is a country we are eager to conduct diplomatic relations with. However, their future inclusion as anything more than an observer or co-operator would surely not make this a Mediterranean Union, as it would include a Northern European country. If the name or purpose of this alliance is of a Sea one, about whom controls the major areas of sea in the whole of Europe, then their inclusion would make sense."

"Apart from that very minor issue with naming and location I am pleased with what you have said. However, Honakon would like to reserve the right to conduct their seas as Perez's wishes to do. For example, if the tiff with Grunder Industries continues, closing our ports to them would effectively stop all trade to the Med as the Canal is closed also, and those are the two "gateways" to this sea. Some here may not agree with our decision to do that. We would always inform you before doing this, and this is merely an example, though however by joining this alliance does it mean that we are not allowed to take major diplomatic and military action without discussing it with fellow members first, especially when it could be disruptive to them. I do like the idea of wielding power as a bloc of nations, however sometimes we may not all agree on an action to take – what do we do then?"

"I know, but the alliance is to be named for the original group of nations who all stand on this Sea. As you know, Kampfers has been friendly to Grunder Industries. However, this as only to secure some base things such as new employment oppurtunities, and the right to not have their mercenaries sold to nations that want to fight us. While we prefer that you ask before closing your strait to someone, we truely can not prevent you from doing so. That said, it would be beneficial to discuss it with other members first. Also, if you were to go through with this plan may I reccommend that you wait until september, when their ports begin to freeze. If you do so now, they can stockpile food and whatever they need from those other ports."

"More to point," Patrin interjected slightly more loudly then usual, "How will this benefit our nations. Surely if we have the capability to close the sea our profits will be drained, once we do so. If Waldenburg were to join this alliance and for some reason Gründer Industries became a nuisance we would no doubt be order by the alliance to close the Bosporus. The amount of shipping we would lose would be staggering, and I believe if provoked Gründer could be hostile. Not that I propose such a closure obviously, but what benefits are there that can not be blown away? We among all nations need the Mediterranean most, political power is nothing when we are all bankrupt."

"I apologize for my inpunctuality. I fear I was delayed. Anyhow, I would like to point out that I believe this is a very valuable alliance proposition. If we organize it correctly, we could create a bloc which would shake the world. We are each prosperous nations which have our own strengths which could make each other incredibly powerful if we banded together. In short, we could become a dominant power on the world stage most easily."

"I wish to thank you all for your showed interest. However, Kampfers will not move to form such an alliance anymore. Comments made by the leader of Honako have tainted their relationship with Grunder Industries, who is very closely linked to us. They are now allied to Gataway, who also maintains stong relations with Kampfers. Kampfers wishes not to damage these relations, and as such can not move into a formal alliance with Honako at this time. We will be pursuing relations with nations whose ideals more closely align to ours for the time being. Thank you all for coming today."

"Other than what has been expressed by our fellow nations present, we have no further problems with this alliance as such. Whilst we feel that we should use our power as a bloc of nations over the sea and trading routes, we also do not want this alliance to take away the indivual rights of the nations in it to choose what they do with their seas at the end of the day. We hope it also concentrates on controlling trade and improving trade between the Med nations, as we feel that if we manage trade well and with our grip on supply routes, taxation and general trading with other nations as one whole bloc could be improving our economies greatly."

"The nation of Honako still desires for all Med nations to co-operate for our benefit, whether it be by a binding military alliance, or co-operation on trade and economic matters, without Kampfers if that is what he wishes." Cowardly bastards thought Modesto about the Kampf nation.
