Unfortunately, unlike in Maldorians, hoboes are not famous or even common here, due to high spending on welfare. Your hobo may not be well accepted, however he may attend. Presidential staff will clean him up, teach him manners and offer him citizenship in Prestonia. Perhaps our system, which encourages the achievements of the common man, is what he needs to succeed.

From Foreign affairs minister Chad Sherwood
My noble nation of oblivion2 would be honored if you could have one of our peoples as a guest. The person in question is captain elendil beowulf.

Please reply soon.

Sometime between 15:00 and 17:30. If that is inconveinant we could find someone else, but he may not be as comfortable as the captain.

As official representative of the Vetakan People to Central Prestonia may I firstly congratulate you on your victory and I and the Vetakan Government hope your Ascension to the Prestonian Presidency will one of grace and pride. I write to you today not only to congratulate you however but to convey some bad news. As I am sure you are aware the Vetakan Nation is threatened by a nation tha wishes to destroy us.
As a result it is with deep regret that due to affairs of state and certain security risks no member of the Vetakan Cabinet or Senate is able to attend this gracious event. However with your permission and deepest respects I as Vetakan Ambassador to these lands wish to attend this event as the personal representative of the Vetakan President, Government and People.
Yours

From: Lord High Chamberlain Dvorn
Subject: Attendance of His Majesty
Sir,
His Majesty is most gladdened to receive your invitation and would be honoured to attend; even though we are only a young nation, His Majesty is most eager to establish diplomatic ties with other heads of state. His Majesty also wishes to congratulate your president on his election.
His Majesty would also like to inform you that he will be accompanied by an honour guard, consisting of 20 Ducal Guard in dress uniform, 2 chefs (who will prepare His Majesty's food), and myself (His Majesty refuses to speak directly to people of low birth). Please allow me to point out that His Majesty has no intention of questioning your nation's ability to protect His royal person, but there are still some elements in His Dukedom who would see this foreign excursion as an excellent opportunity to assassinate His Majesty. The honour guard will merely be their to ensure swift punishment of any possible traitors to the Crown.
Name: His Majesty Kevin I, Protector of the realm, Punisher of the wicked, Grand Duke of Istarea
Position: Hereditary monarch

We are certain that the culinary staff of Prestonia can more than meet your needs, as both Pres. Preston and President-Elect Gannon have notoriously refined palates. The Honor Guard is understandable. If it pleases His Majesty, we may also put a small detachment of Praetorian Guard at his service to ensure his safety.
