Webster International Airport

Marshall Velspar sighed lightly as surveyed the horizon, the Cripistani sun rising slowly in the east. Yet another trip to yet another nation, his sucess was his own damnation. His calling was not particularly in diplomacy, but he had done so much for Davis in this field, it seemed as if he would be trapped here indefinitely. It was not easy being the No.2 man in Kroando, but someone had to do it. The jet slowly touched down on the runway, screeching to a smokey halt on the Cripistani Asphault. The sun shone upon the Human Order crest stamped upon the side of the plane, the door opened, and a ramp unfolded. Velspar took in a deep breath a began walking down...

Marshall watched as the jet touched down. On the side of the jet there was a crest of the Human Order. One the jet came to a complete stop he approached it. The hatch came down. He walked up and met Mr. Velspar. " I'm Lee Chambers. I have come to bring you to the capital building. There you will meet with the members of our nation, that wish to aid Kroando. Shall we go?"

Members of the nation that wish to aid Kroando? Had these people been properly informed of his purpose? Kroando was not in need of aid... his mission was to get Cripistan to join the Imperial Union of Terra, not to ask for help in Hexon. It made no difference... if they did not know why he was here, they would soon enough. "Yes Mr. Chambers, I am quite prepared." Some time after he entered the vehicle, enroute to the Capital Building he questioned his host. "May I ask who it is I will have the pleasure of meeting with?"

"You will be speaking with the president Tyler Shea, and Joh Marshall. I believe you know Mr. Marshall. He was the one who had sent the messages to your nation, regarding this meeting."

35 Minutes Later

"We have arrived." said Chambers. It was dark now. There were the sounds of cars speeding past. It was the middle of summer in Cripistan, so the weather was warm, humid. Chambers brought Vespar to the room where Marshall and Shea were waiting. They knocked then entered. "Mr. Vespar, we have been awaiting your arrival." said Shea. " Lets get to businees right away."

Captial Building

Damnedable heat... Velspar thought as he entered the large building, his thick black leather trenchcoat not doing much to help his situation. No matter which nation he was in, it seemed as if they all had some extreme abnormality. If it wasn't the heat, it was the snow. If it wasn't the snow, it was the rain. If it wasn't the rain, it was the Leafanistani holographic weather.

As Velspar shook the mens hands, they began the meeting on a low note. "It's Velspar.", the Marshall corrected President Shea. He had, over his years of diplomacy, learned to loathe the mispronunciation of his uniquely Kroandon name, but never let it bother him to deeply.

"To business it is. Before we begin...", Velspar opened a black folder with several documents inside, "I would like to know a little about your nation... our records seem... small. For starters, what sort of government form does your nation run by... if you would, give me a brief history of your nation... and inform me of your military's current status."

" Well we are a democracy. We believe the people have the right, because they make up the nation. Without trust, you have nothing. We are not know very well internationally. We have a population of just over 2.5 million. Our nation has never been involved in a war. This is the same land claimed by our ancestors. The military is very well trained, but as you heard, has no experience. Our military consists of 200,000 soldiers. Our primary assault rifle is the AKS-74. We have no nuclear weapons, due to our lack of uranium. Anything else?"

Velspar took notes vividly, scribiling information onto the small pad of paper in his hand. He paused only briefly to scratch the tatoo sprawling over the side of his neck, the crest of the Human Order seemingly consuming his body. "This is all very good Mr. President... very good indeed.", the Marshall finished up and closed the pad. "Allow me to tell you a bit about Kroando."

"We are a rather large nation... over 5.2Billion in total, our military standing at a minimal peacetime readiness of about 20million. Our nation has recently overthrown the corrupted Coalitionist Dictatorship of General Heroma and Lord Protector Fortinbraz, and replaced it with the leadership of the Human Order. The Human Order, like your nation, cherishes democracy, as the Peoples Council and Senate both are directly elected. The head of state is officially Commissar Davis, the founder of the Human Order. In general, we, the Human Order stand for the continuation of the Human Race. We seek to ensure mans survival through the Imperial Union of Terra, and hope to bring the nations of the world together under it."

"Which brings me to the purpose of my visit. We have it within our power to make your nation great. We have the capability to increase your military power exponentially, boost your economy to unprecedented levels, and to put you onto the international state. We ask only that you join the Imperial Union of Terra. If you chose to do so, the internal workings of your nation would not be touched. Your people would still write their own laws, pay their own taxes, and worship their own gods. Terra does not have any authority over the people of your nation, the only realm it truly does interact in is foriegn affairs. Your alliances must first be approved by the Terran Council, of which you nation is a part, and your wars must be approved. (In reality you can do what you want with your army... as long as you dont do anything ridiculous) Here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=536294) is a copy of the charter.", Velspar slid a stack of papers across the table to President Shea.

"But what will we do for you? I will get into the specifics. We will invest 1 Trillion Dollars into your economy, and give a direct deposit to your government treasury of 200 Billion. We will then proceed to overhaul your military, adding thousands of tanks, planes, ships and vehicles from Kro-Tech Industries to your arsenal... at our own expense of course. And of course by joining Terra, any attack or agression against your nation would be treated as an attack against the entire Union... thus we would ensure your security. Ah... and of course, we will make sure your troops see live combat on Hexon island against the Hexonian Rebels..." Velspar paused, awaiting the Presidents reactions.

President Shea thought to himself. Then he spoke. " Mr. Velspar, I read about the Imperial Union. Im aware that certain nations within it can have control of their own military. Cripistan will join the Imperial Union of Terra if you grant us that one proposal." He looked at Marshall. They both griined. They knew if they joined the Imperial Union, they would go down in history for this decision. They had bothed waited for this moment their entire time as leaders in Cripistan.

[Let me just OOC'lly clarify the military thing. The Imperial Union Military works like to. There are two main breakdowns. The biggest section is the TAF (Terran Armed Forces). These soldiers are donated by every member country, and are the biggest and baddest army that Terra has to offer. They are only used when the Council (all of the member countries), agree that they should be used. They attack rarely, and are primarily for defending the Union. Then there is the regional military. Your Cripistani Army is controlled by you... my Kroandan Army is controlled by me. However you cannot go off and declare war without consulting the council... technically. You can use them as you want in operations, but if you start a war that you can't handle, the Council will probably tell you to stop... in order to save your ass. Anyways, if you want to join, fill out the application on the Imperial Union of Terra page, and you'll be in.]

"I suppose you will take the role of Commissar Mr. President?" (Basically the main representative from your country to the Council)

( Do you want me to post the application, or talk on AIM)

" Yes, I will now be known as Commissar."

[Post the application, we've gone over everything that we would have on AIM.]
