Now Defunct

To Citizen Herb Northstorm, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the United Socialist States of Yanitaria

Stoklomolvi, as thanks for the gifts and the embassy, wishes to establish an embassy within Point Harbour, Yanitaria. Ambassador Vladimir Linen would like his embassy building to be in the governmental district of the city. His preferred specifications are a two-storey, marked Stoklomolvi government structure with an underground parking chamber and a heliport on the roof. Twenty colleagues will be with him, and twelve SMPF officers will guard him using M13 Pistols (Stoklomolvi 15.25mm (.60 Calibre) Pistols). There will be thirty three pistols in all, with all of the members of the embassy using one.

A single, unarmed, Type 151 Armoured Personnel Carrier, one unarmed MiG-25R Hind-S helicopter for transport, and four armoured 4x4s will carry the embassy personnel around. One Stoklomolvi Class transport cruiser will serve as the embassy transport for naval transportation. Vladimir has read over all of the diplomatic guidelines as given by the Yanitarian government and has agreed to follow them. He thanks you for your time.

Regards,
Grigor Aleksandrovich Stuyonovich

Minister of Foreign Affairs

Very Well, you address will be 137 Republic Ave, Point harbour. Next to it is City Hall, and across the street the Police Headquarters.

All arrangments will be made by the time your ambassador arrives.

Sincerely,
Citizen Herb Northstorm

Point Harbour

The MiG-25R Hind-S touched down on the top of the building, and the ambassador stepped outside. His mission to Yanitaria had just begun.

Point Harbour

A trio of armoured limos pulled up to the embassy. Out of the middle one, which was adorned in little Yanitarian flags, stepped Mattias Norheim. Out of the other two came Herb Northstorm, and General Charles De Remi. Two APCs pulled up, unloading no less than 20 Yanitarian Marines.

The Three men, their aides, and their guards entered the embassy grounds, where a MiG-25R Hind-S had touched down moments before.

Soon journalists appeared, and started taking pictures, and recording the event.

Citizen Norheim stepped forward, and offered his hand. "Greetings, Comrade Lenin, to our humble nation. We are very pleased to have our first embassy set up in our country."

(OOC: Just thought that the first embassy opening in Yanitaria deserved a presidential welcome, especially due to the recent attacks on Stoklomolvi by it's neighbor. Also, in Yanitaria, Citizens are addressed as Citizen, no matter the rank. Foreigners are addressed as Comrade.

Also, it might be awhile before the post about Yanitarian support in Stoklomolvi gets posted. The mods still have to OK my posts)

[OOC: Alright, and his name is Linen, not Lenin. I purposely misspelled it.]

Vladimir Linen was quite gratified by such an amazing welcome, and shook Citizen Norheim's hand.

"Good to meet you, sir."

His colleagues appeared behind him, and then rushed into the embassy to do some important work.

[OOC: Oh, sorry, I hadn't noticed that it was misspelt at all)

The President introduced Herb and Charles, and after taking a few photos, he invited the new Ambassador to dine with him and his entourage in a five star restaurant, where they could discuss matters of state.

Welcome to Yanitaria. We must say that the food you offered us (upon our Embassy being opened in your country) was excellent.

Your embassy will be placed at 46 Palace Drive, next door to the Alfregosian embassy, and a little less than a block from the presidential palace. The particular spot your embassy occupies is situated on the side of Palantine hill, and has a unique view of the city, and a rolling stretch of farm land, and the ocean and Yanitarian River Delta. The view is second only to the palace balcony, or one of the taller sky scrapers a bit north of that area.

We hope you will enjoy your stay. Your embassy will be completed upon your arrival. The ANS Anderson will be allowed to dock in a private marina, guarded 24/7 by Yanitarian Elite Policemen.

Welcome to Yanitaria, Comrade Vladislav.

The embassy will be completed upon your arrival. However, the AMX-10P counts as an APC, so we would usually limit you to 1. However, upon inspection, it seems to be permissible, when compared to our larger BMP-3's, and CV-90's.

In fact, it is an interesting design, and, with the provision that the ERA be replaced with composite armour, we might be interested in purchasing the design plans from your nation.

In any case, you new address will be in the Capitol, Yanitaria, in the Art and Theater district. Your embassy will be at 142 Maginot Blv, across the street from our most famous art gallery, and next door the nation's biggest opera house.

The Bell 212 helicopter began to land on the carrier. The blades begen to stop rotating as Rufus Welsh jumped out of the helicopter. He pulled out a small plastic card and said,

Two Yanitarian Marines escorted Mr. Welsh to the office currently occupied by Citizen Herb Northstorm, Secretary of Foreign Affairs.

"Well, I heartily support the idea of the Foreign Culture Museum, perhaps they could be located near each other's respective embassies. As for the aid, I want New Brittonia to have a large embassy to serve also as the barracks and headquarters for the New Brittonian Service Corps, as the other service organizations should be located and headed near the people who they are serving. I think that any trade agreements should keep workers rights, preservation of local culture, and enviornmental protection in mind."

President Shives of Angaor and Several Members of the Congress would like to come to Yanitaria to view the Yanitarian Memorial and Pay respect to the fallen soldiers of the Rebellion.

To the Imperial Dictatorship of Greal:

Welcome to Yanitaria. Your application has been accepted, and the Imperial Dictatorship of Greal Embassy will be at 194 London Ave. The building itself will be in between two office buildings, and across the street from the nation's largest company, Cheese Ex LTD.

To Angaor: The Monument is currently under construction, but should be done in one month to one year (NS time). Once it is finished, President Shives will be welcomed to stay in the Presidential Palace during his visit to Yanitaria.

OOC: I still gotta write up the description for the monument. I'll get on it now

"Period."

"Okay then. That will have to be finalized. We will send aroud 70.000 members of the New Brittonian Educational, Enviornmental, and Medical Service Corps to Yanitaria as well as 40.000 members of the New Brittonian Service Corps and 108.000 members of the New Brittonian Foreign Service Corps over. In exchange for all of this aid we are sending to you, becides leting one of New Brittonia's banks' hold your liquid assets, we wish for you to permit all of the aid organizations to have freedom of movement and speed visas, so they will not wait in red tape."

"Indeed, they may have visas for as long as they need, but freedom of movement is unnecessary. In Yanitaria, we do not have check points from which we check ID's. So for the record, they have Freedom of Movement already."

"Indeed, they may have visas for as long as they need, but freedom of movement is unnecessary. In Yanitaria, we do not have check points from which we check ID's. So for the record, they have Freedom of Movement already."

"Yes, I want the visas to be on a 'fast track' so our aid workers can come in as quickly as possible, keeping them trapped up with all of this red tape will not help the process at all."

Also do you want me to leave Angaorian Troops in the Country to help with the Rebuilding Process

To: New Brittonia
"Oh, of course, now we understand. They shall receive speed visas immediately."

To: Angaor
That is appreciated, but we just received major help from New Brittonia. Let your forces go home, eat, drink, and be very merry with the missus.

Also, the memorial is open.

To: New Brittonia
"Oh, of course, now we understand. They shall receive speed visas immediately."


"Well, for your educational issues, I will try to persuade Parliament to lower student visa restrictions on Yanitarian citizens so they can get a university education in New Brittonia."

"That would be most appreciated. Yanitaria has a vast farmland, perhaps New Brittonia is in need of organic vegitables, fruits, and grains?"

"We can certainly use them on the marketplace, now a free trade agreement would be very complicated, however."

"We have tried to stay away from FTA talks. New Brittonia's large population, and, we assume, industry, will push the balance of trade far out of our favor. The Yanitarian economy is slowly improving it's trade deficit, and hopefully in a few years we will be in the green." (OOC: all this is based off info from NSDossier, and would be true if our trade actually effected game play)

"Also, the wages of Yanitarians are much lower. New Brittonian companies would outsource jobs here. However it doesn't favorably effect the trade deficit, so in the end we both lose."

"Yes, It is Brittonian policy that a free trade agreement is to be bilateral, as any multilater FTA's are extremly vague. A FTA with New Brittonia has to include minimum wage, as we cannot have free trade putting a nation further backward. It needs to include enviornmental protections also because global warming, pollution, and deforestation are serious issues whish must not be aided by corporations in areas with free trase. Cultural preservation is another isssue as we cannot let any ingengenous peoples lose their lands, culture, and language because a corporation from a wealthier nation cn employ these people on their own terms.The American President Theodore Roosevelt sad

Thank God I'm not a free tradist.

The United Socialist States of New Brittonia is just one step above this, sir."

"Under these terms, we may be able to work something out. All that we ask is that there is no unfavorable affect to our balance of trade. Perhaps a quota should be established so that the balance of trade can continue. And as far as environmental restrictions, we should have a few of our aides review both our environmental laws, and who's ever is more stringent should apply to both countries, for cases of companies manufacturing goods across our countries."

OOC: sorry if the wording is a bit weird, I am a bit eager to get back to The Orange Box. Just got it today.

Welcome to Yanitaria. The new address of The Socialist States of The World Soviet Party Embassy will be at 35 Park Blv, Art District. It is across the street from the biggest park in Yanitaria, and next door to a popular cafe.

"Indeed, so is there anything else you wish to discuss?"

"Yes, on the subject on education, can your people afford university?"

"Indeed they can. We have found that free is a price anyone can afford. It strains our taxes, but it does wonders for our education."

OOC: Gah! Last night Yanitaria was down to a 1 billion trade deficit, and it had been going down by 1 billion per day. Suddenly the economy slumped, and the deficit increased by 500 million! I've taken actions to push the economy into the black, though. I sure hope those rich people like their new babies.

[OOC: Yeah, I know what you mean. I had a thriving economy, and for some reason I decided to allow unions. Then, my economy slumped into the strong range. Currently, assume that it's thriving, since this was unplanned. Argh, but at least I have a trade surplus.]

ooc:Just checked yours, and damn, I wish I had a trade surplus like that.

But right now, I am happy with my balance of rights and economy

Granted. Your embassy will be on 990 Albert Camus Blv. It is next to a greek style Amphitheater, where locals have plays, lectures, and public readings hourly.

As for the memorial, we will need an address, the name of your city, and the general design you had in mind. I believe the budget you had set aside was $100,000,000 USD Expense payment will be expected before building begins, the rest to be payed over the course of 15 years.

On behalf of the Emperor and and the people of Bloumany may I be the first to welcome our new diplomatic ties between our two great nations and believe that this realationship will benefit both of us.

In regards to your request to be able to establish an embassy within the empire, as of yet we have not got an embassy program up and running the details are still being finialised, however this should be established by the next Royal Council meeting, and your government will be the first to be notified when this is established with priority given to your request and a embassy lot reserved for you.

Well, the whole thing with Cripistan is that Cripistan exterminated some rebels. I was fine with that until he described the treatment of them. I was furious ICly, and I wrote to him demanding better treatment. This aroused the interest of The Beatus, which in turn aroused interests of other nations until it blossomed into a trade embargoing, refugee saving, blockade making ordeal. Now, Cripistan somehow escaped the blockade, invaded Kurr Island, and we are planning on assaulting Cripistan.

In order to further our new diplomatic relationship, we would like to arrange for a meeting between our respective heads of state. They would discuss matters of trade and other such relations, should you be interested.

To Stoklomolvi:

So there has been no invasion yet? I am currently invading France, with future aims towards Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Algeria, and the Balkans for the Utopian Commonwealth, but since the troubles in NTC are dieing down, it looks like I'll have a couple hundred thousand combat vets ready to go.

To Errikland:

Of course, of course, but it might have to happen at the same time as a discussion with The Beatus

Not yet; they will happen soon. We are plotting aboard the SINC Vladistov, one of my two super-dreadnoughts. Feel free to drop in with whatever men you have.

There it quickly dropped, landing atop the central building. The high profile passenger, a tall, fair man in a black suit, stepped from the chopper, glancing at his watch as he stepped indoors. The Errikan Emperor, Christian I, had arrived in Yanitaria.

President Mattias Norheim greeted the Emperor at the landing pad.

"So good to have you here. Welcome! Come with me, we will take my limo to the Presidential Palace, and pass the morning until our friend from Beatus arrives."

"Tea would be nice, thank you," the emperor said, removing his gloves, "You say you fought in your nation's revolution? I did as well; that is, I fought in the Errikan Civil War, which resulted in the consolidation of the Errikan people into one Empire.

"What was your people's revolution like? I must admit I am unfamiliar with it."

OOC: This should be good, but, most unfortunately, I must begone for tonight. Will return soon.

OOC: That's cool. It's midnight here, and I am heading in after this.

IC: "I am not surprised you aren't familiar with it. There are too many nation's, now days, to learn about them all.

"Our's was a pleasant little revolt. The population wanted freedom of and from religion, and self governance. It was during the eighties, a friend of mine, Yanis, he had a meeting.

"He thought, that between the students and professors, there were enough people to take a local arms depot. So we snuck in at night, about 10 of us, and caught the guards sleeping. We took the weapons, mostly pistols, and we started the 'Secular Resistance movement'.

"We weren't much to speak of, but eventually we got braver, and people started to notice. Our numbers grew, and soon we pushed the Royalists, that's who they were, supporters of the monarchy, out of Nouvelle Paris.

"Unfortunately, when we snuck into the next city, a police raid caught Yanis. They killed him on live television. Then I took over. Slowly we began fighting, earning support, kid napping government men, spies, and police while they ordered their morning coffee at the cafe.

"Then, some years later, I think it was 1987, other nations took notice. They came to aide us, and invaded. That's when we became madly successful. So much so, that people, for the first time, had hope.

"Soon enough, we were almost a real army. Around 1990, there was a blockade on the capital, then called Vangorod. We knew we couldn't take the city, so we laid siege, while mining the roads from other cities, and setting up a bit of resistance everywhere.

"Now, let me paint a picture. We were a bunch of old men, teenagers, and farmers. I wasn't any older than 28, myself! We didn't have much of anything, some old rifles, some shotguns. But to the people, we were heros. Girls ran up to us, and gave us flowers. And most importantly, we scared the crap out of the Royalists. The Palace Guard even killed the king, ending the war, just to be spared.

"I went back to school after that, but the country nearly imploded. It wasn't until 1995 that I took power, and straightened things out. But enough about my nation. What was your revolution like?"

“Its start was a bit more . . . abrupt than your own. Quite interesting you say that you were only twenty eight when you fought in your revolution. I myself was in my twenties at the time of the Errikan Civil War. But here I get ahead of myself . . .

“It was a very divisive time, with ideology tearing us apart. Though Errikland had never been unified, the various Errikan states had long been on the path, as they joined political and economic alliances, the most notable being the one formed in the mid-nineteenth century. There had long been a certain degree of unrest and instability, as the historically rural societies of the Errikan states had to cope with the large scale urbanization and industrialization that began in the late 1800s and swept the 20th century. However, things got worse rapidly from about thirty years before the civil war. Radical leftist ideologies became ever more prevalent amongst some, who found great support amongst some of the urban poor and especially national minorities and culturally unpalatable immigrant groups. In response, counter groups organized, and counter-counter groups organized, etcetera.

“I grew up a young nationalist in this environment, and quickly fell in with the right crowds. It was partially due to my own connections within the business community that the Errikan Alliance was able to unify with the strength that it did—the Errikan Alliance was a coalition of major groups, consisting largely of conservative landowners, industrial leaders, the capitalist and culturally conservative middle class, military men and ideological nationalists. Unfortunately, our opponents were able to effectively organize as well, forming the ‘People’s Social Democratic Organization’ to unite most of their interests. They were led by figures such as diplomat Horace Richards, billionaire Wallace Talleyrand (a charming scoundrel), and Ray Kater, a radical Tarki leader.

“It soon became clear that some sort of conflict was inevitable, as both sides cultivated support (and my connections prepared for all-out war), but the PSDs caught us by surprise when they decided that it would be easier to deal with us if there were less leaders.”

Emperor Christian reached his hand up to his pale cheek, where there was a small white scar.

“Fortunately, the man they sent for me had less than perfect aim and couldn’t take a punch. My mentor wasn’t so lucky.

“Since they had sucker punched us, I stepped in and led our forces to a proper response. We seized the central city of Sadet within hours, and before the week was over we had destroyed the bulk of their ready forces at Dicht Pass. What remained in central Errikland fled to the fortified city of Karlsburg, where they dug in and readied to face us in an assault on the city. I, finding myself in the position of command due to the murder of my leaders and my own decisive action shortly thereafter, did not oblige, fortifying a position surrounding the city in order to starve and weaken them before heading off with most of our forces on hand to secure the remainder of the country.

“There were months and months of bloody fighting, where essentially all Errikans chose sides; the Alliance was very successful, effectively gaining control of all of the land in an astoundingly short period of time. Prior to our return to Karlsburg, there was only a single campaign in which nearly all of our forces fought together, and that time we faced a primarily foreign army and nearly lost the war in a matter of days. I personally nearly died then as well, but we ultimately came through and wiped them out practically to a man.

“At the very end, we returned to Karlsburg and, after substantial bombardment, swept through the entire city with one swift stroke.

“With that, the bloody business was finished, and Errikland could be.”

A butler came in with a tray of tea and cookies.

"Amazing!" smiled President Norheim as he poured tea for the Emperor, and then himself, "our stories are so similar. It seems that the only difference is our position of the political spectrum."

"Yes," he chuckled, nodding in thanks to the butler, "It is quite a coincidence. Though my time of the trials and tribulations of civil war was admittedly quite a bit shorter than yours.

"I am curious: what nations intervened on your behalf towards the end of your struggle?"

"Yes," he chuckled, nodding in thanks to the butler, "It is quite a coincidence. Though my time of the trials and tribulations of civil war was admittedly quite a bit shorter than yours.

"I am curious: what nations intervened on your behalf towards the end of your struggle?"

"Ahh, those nations are long dead, and it serves no purpose to dwell on the lost.

"However, during a more recent conflict in our boarders, Stoklomolvi, Anagaor, and Orbath helped us defeat terrorists that wished to overthrow the government.

"So what is life like in your nation?"

OOC: The civil war was just fluff I made up when I started my nation, so there really weren't any intervening countries.

OOC: The civil war was just fluff I made up when I started my nation, so there really weren't any intervening countries.

Sipping tea intermittently as he spoke, the Emperor began:

"Well, most Errikans either live in small towns, which are variously scattered across our land, or in the suburbs of the cities; oddly, the actual urban population has never fully recovered from the civil war, though the population has increased dramatically. Sizable numbers also live in our colonial territory.

"Since mechanization has nearly wiped out the labor niche, most men have either white collar jobs, are entrepreneurs or small farmers, or are the military, which all men must be in their youth. The lack of low level jobs means that people are, on the whole, rather well-off, able to afford a very suitable living for them and their families.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention; as people typically marry in their early twenties, families tend to grow rather large by outside standards, with the average being four to six, and not that uncommonly up to eight, children per couple.

"Our federal structure of government means that nearly all domestic power of the government is very localized, which means that the average citizen can expect to have an effect on their community politics."

OOC: Ah. I did the same thing.

"Hmm, interesting. Yanitaria is a bit different, but there are some similarities. Our people are mostly spread out in small towns, with a handful of major city centers that stretch for kilometers.

"Industry and farming are big, with most people employed in the arms manufacturing industry. Since education here is so good, it's mostly white collar work, and most farmers use the latest techniques. Our fertile soil and educated farmers make us the breadbasket of the region. Like your nation, we have a high level of mechanization.

"Social equality is big, with our nation being extremely equal in terms of salary. Our per capita GDP is small, but people don't get grossly overpaid for simple jobs, and generally have to earn their money. We even eliminated most inheritance, so that you can only inherit material possessions and a bit of money.

"This way, there are no heiresses or heirs that get away with contributing nothing to society.

"People are allowed to do pretty much as they please. They can smoke, drink, gamble, and even duel. Some people are cannibals, but we drew the line at human sacrifice, and imprisoned the offending cult.

"The popularity of birth control and the legal recognition of homosexuals and gay marriage means that there is a low birth rate, but our orphanages are almost empty.

"And like your nation, the laws are made by Provincial Councils, so the very often one vote really counts.

"Ah, look at the time! Let's continue the conversation during the parade."

President Norheim led the Emperor to a caravan of armoured limos. They sat in the back one, and the convoy left to take it's place in the parade.

"Most interesting," Emperor Christian mused, "The matters of smoking, drinking, gambling, etcetera, generally fall under provincial or local law, but I know that while institutionalized gambling is illegal, or at least effectively illegal through ridiculous taxes, throughout much of Errikland, the smoking, drinking, and dueling are legal nearly everywhere. Of course, dueling requires one fill out a legal form and have a witness, so that we do not excuse true murderers.

"While birth control is generally cheap, family is very important in Errikan culture, and this keeps the birth rate up; fortunately, it means that it is a rare thing for an orphan to not have some distant family, be they fourth cousins, to take them in.

"Not to dwell on a controversial subject during festivities, but why is it that your government recognizes homosexual marriage? It seems to me that the only reason for a government to recognize and support marriage is to encourage the production of the next generation of citizenry, which homosexuals are not physically capable of doing--with one another, that is."

"Well they are humans. If they want to make it official, why should the government stop them?"

"I am not suggesting that the government stop them," he said personably, "I am merely asking why it is that the government encourages it through legal recognition and such, for which there is no pragmatic reason.

"Think of it this way: suppose there is a particular business that is beneficial to national interest, and thus the government decides to give this sort of business a special tax credit; that does not mean that the government wishes all other sorts of business to cease, just that they wish to encourage this particular sort for pragmatic reasons. It is far from uncommon for governments to subsidize certain production, particularly certain foodstuffs, for instance; this is not because they think other foodstuffs should not be grown, but because the subsidized foodstuffs should be encouraged for the interests of the government."

"Our population is already over crowded, so for all pragmatic reasons, we should require it.

"Also, your analogy is a bit off. Gay people will continue to be gay regardless of what we do. However, if the government takes a negative stance, so will the people. Homosexuals would have to stay in the closet, where they are more likely to get into loveless heterosexual marriages, full of infidelity and hypocrisy.

"And whereas a subsidized business requires a substantial amount of money, homosexual marriage simply means we have to register more married couples. However, this is balanced by the sales tax on wedding presents, the weddings, the cost of the marriage license, the gay marriage reality shows, like 'Groomzilla'.

"So overall, the pragmatic and civil rights reasons pile up on the side of recognizing gay marriage."

"So overall, the pragmatic and civil rights reasons pile up on the side of recognizing gay marriage."

"If you wish to limit population growth, should you not merely cease to recognize any marriage, or have a special tax for each child over a certain number (or, a means I would prefer, merely tax credits for those not having children over a certain number). Homosexual marriage in and of itself will not affect population growth, assuming those homosexuals, when refused government encouragement of their marriage to one another, don't turn around and marry someone of the opposite sex and begin having children.

"I am not saying the government take a negative stance, merely not encourage it, as there is no pragmatic reason. Surely the society would not ostracize people just because the government doesn't encourage them.

"I myself am against the subsidization matter, the tax credit one being a far better example (with lightening certain regulations being the best), as, as you pointed out, subsidization costs tax dollars. However, it is a prominent example, which is clear and easier to understand than is either the tax credit or deregulation.

"Thus these reasons are ultimately false."

"I wouldn't say that they would go and marry members of the opposite sex if they can't find a partner of their own sex. It makes about as much sense as a heterosexual becoming gay because they can't find a partner of the opposite sex.

"And as a pragmatic decision, there is the citizen's happiness for one, and the votes during election time. And tax incentives of any kind cost money which could be put to better use.

Trotsky Place is a large plaza, and unofficial "Town Square" of Yanitaria City. The Capitol Buildings iare at 101 and 102 Trosky place, with most government buildings being on the 400's side of the street (the street immediately west).

Embassies such as yours are on the 300 and 200 streets, South and East of the plaza, respectively.

Palace drive is 3km away, and connected by Victory Blvd

"I wouldn't say that they would go and marry members of the opposite sex if they can't find a partner of their own sex. It makes about as much sense as a heterosexual becoming gay because they can't find a partner of the opposite sex.

"And as a pragmatic decision, there is the citizen's happiness for one, and the votes during election time. And tax incentives of any kind cost money which could be put to better use.

"Either way it's a matter for freedom. Pragmatically, it'd be best to enslave everyone, and have them work for my sole benefit. Some things are really more about morals."

"So you see my point? I was saying that they would not marry someone of the opposite sex just because of the government not supporting their marriage.

"Electoral concern is not a pragmatic concern for national interests, but certainly is a pragmatic concern of the politicians themselves, true enough. Tax incentives are not truly expensive, but they do translate into certain financial 'cost' insofar as less immediate gain, so deregulation would be an even better comparison, as I previously noted. In this I am referring to the special legal and tax status that comes with government recognition of marriage.

"I might contest your point on slavery, as it has historically not been anywhere near as efficient as a free market, which helps to explain the difference in the economies of most slavery-based states and most proper capitalist states; also, were that not to be true, it would still not be pragmatically in the interests of your nation but in the interests of yourself as an individual at the expense of your nation. Besides, this is all moot, as your last point is what matters--that it is a moral, not a pragmatic, issue. As a rule I believe that government should generally stay out of such matters, but now I can fully understand your motivation.

"Sorry for this digression, my friend, but it was an interesting discussion."

"Indeed. Many times when a Yanitarian speaks, it's as if some other worldly author is simply writing down his beliefs. Because of this, conversations between Yanitarians seem a bit scripted, boring, and full of ass-grabbery*."

(*Ass-grabbery was added to the Official Yanitarian Dictionary last week, from the Bigtopian, Ash Gribanary, which means to hug someone else's Ash tree, a symbol of praise.... There is no english connection.)

The music started, and Yanitarian Marines, dressed in their dress uniforms and armed with gold-inlaid AY-142's marched directly in front of the limo convoy.

Behind them, and row of ST-37K1 "Titan" tanks rolled, followed by banner holding Sailors, flag waving officers, and so on.

People lined the streets as the parade went by, waving banners and flags, as fighter jets flew around leaving smoke trails in patriotic colors.

"So tell me, is there anything specific you came to Yanitaria for?"

"Nothing so specific," he said, glancing at the tanks, "The Empire would like to advance our relations with another such fine nation, relations which, particularly on the economic level, could be quite profitable for us both."

"Generally, we set up arrangements to allow cross migration between nations; this usually facilitates migration of Errikans outward, but, given your population issues, the opposite is more likely. If you don't want that aspect, it is not crucial.

"Actually, oddly enough, there are already notable numbers of Errikans in your territory."

"Absolutely; our major cities include Sadet, of course, Gutenburg, Cincinnatus, San Erriksfort, Soton, Derchton, Kinisburg, Urbs Insula, Guineasport, and Elsinore. All but the last three are in Errikland proper.

"Where in your nation would be suitable for such consulates?"

"Anywhere on this map is fine."

"Yanitaria is famous for a few drinks. Most notably, our national drink, absinthe. And don't worry, it's not dangerous. Absinthe sickness was caused by copper that used to be used to turn it green.

"Yanitarian absinthe is a bit more colorful. We also have a lighter tasting blue, a rougher, less refined white, and a deep red.

"We are also known for our wine, brandy (which is very close to wine in many aspects), and vodka, perfected by the native Ukrainians, and the immigrant Norwegians.

"I think I'd prefer the wine, thank you," he said, "Our own wine is regionally renowned, though cider and beer are both more popular overall in Errikland."

OOC: Oh, great. Now I do. ;)

"Alright, then," as President Norheim reached into a wine box and pulled out a bottle labeled in overly curvy writing. he poured the emperor a glass, and then pulled out an absinthe cup, a cube of sugar, and some water. He poured the red absinthe into the cup, and suspended the cube over it with an absinthe spoon before pouring in the water.

"Cheers!" They clinked glasses, "perhaps we could have our vintners exchange notes. I have a good friend who is a descendant of the Jouffreau family, famous for their wine in South Eastern France.

"And currently, Yanitaria is in control of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. If our vintners cooperated, they'd probably make a fine, fine product."

OOC: Well, unlucky for both of us. My ex will be there, and her friend who is throwing the party asked me not to go.

"The wine makers? Or the nations? The wine makers immigrated here during the 1800's.

"The countries were a bit of a different story. Let me let you in on a secret. Yanitaria has been attack many times by terrorists, both here and abroad. But at the same time, Yanitaria has never been attacked.

"France, for instance. We went to war due to a number of causes. It all started with an ally taking control of the Straight of Gibraltar. Well, a plane flying over France on it's way to Portugal was shot down. The Assistant Secretary of Foreign Affairs was on board.

"But the problem is, no missiles where ever fired. And the diplomat had been giving the job a month before hand, and never should have been.

"On board, three of Yanitaria's most secret force gassed the cabin. Then they set charges in the cock pit, before jumping out of the plane. Next, there were bombings in France, all by the same terrorist organization that 'shot' down the plane.

"Of course, we told France that they needed to quiet the group with in their boarders, before anyone else got hurt. But these men were well trained Corsicans and Africans. They had spent weeks in the French country side being taught how to fight by my men.

"Soon, people started protesting, calling for an end to the violence. Of course the French cracked down on it, but a certain police officer, stoned and found near a joint of opium laced marijuana fired into the crowd, killing the leader of the protest, a Yanitarian exchange student.

"Of course the policeman claims someone forced him to fire, but he was sent to a guillotine, the first execution in 70 years. Finally, the chief of police was assassinated the same day in his home.

"Yanitaria's official response was to restore order to the French republic. We invaded, with support from Partisans, led by the same special forces that effected the assassinations, and the robberies.

"However, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg retaliated. However, we pushed them all back to Paris. Then the French pulled out it's chemical weapons. Belgium and Luxembourg withdrew, and the French barricaded themselves behind artwork, statues, and monuments.

"We could not risk the destruction of the art. We allowed the women and children to come out of the city, and then gassed it. The refugees elected a new president that surrendered, and we moved on to take the three countries who had aided the French in their terrorism.

"Ironically, the force used to subvert France had a French name. Les Enfants Perdus, The Lost Children. Outside of Yanitaria, you are the only person who knows they did that, and one of Four people who know they exist."

Emperor Christian listened intently during the story, taking mental note of the various details.

"That is quite a story; I must say I thank you for the privilege of this knowledge. You say you continue to administrate them? Are they governed as colonies, as full parts of your nation, or as some other sort of special relationship?"

"They have the same civil rights as citizens, except they are only allowed to vote in elections on a provincial level. They are officially Territories, and will earn Province status in 10-15 years."

OOC: Hey, your guy will be the last foreign politician to see President Norheim alive. I am going to assassinate him, and install an oligarchy or anarchy, I haven't decided.

Of course, the colonials are fully equal citizens, though we do have certain special legal statuses for conquered peoples who do not become citizens; citizenship is quite a major honor in Errikland, and is not doled out lightly."

*OOC: Application for an embassy can be found here ( http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=546703 ).

Granted, and welcome to Yanitaria! We are honored to have you.

The Northern Rangerian Embassy will be at 36 Park Blv, next to a popular cafe and across the street from the largest park in Yanitaria, which is home to a beautiful Terranist (non-theistic earth veneration) Cathedral.

If you would like, President Baudoin will meet with you personally to discuss our future relations.

On the aside, your corvette can indeed be anchored in Yanitaria City, among the great Nietzsche Class Super Dreadnoughts, and Surface Group 1. Of course, it will be in the "Diplomatic Pen", and therefore slightly removed from the larger ships.

The Northern Rangerian government would be happy to commence talks for further diplomatic contact, and the possibility of trade agreements and cultural exchange as soon as possible.

Until a date for these talks is set, ambassador Kaupine will be acting as our liaison to the Yanitarian government.

Also, as a token of our friendship, please accept the donation of an apinakissa, or crazy monkey cat (Felix simianis) - the national animal of Northern Rangeria - to a Yanitarian zoo of your choosing.

We thank you for your donation of the Crazy Monkey Cat, and it will be kept in the Zoo in the park across the street from your embassy. In return, we would like to present you with the Golden Acorn, a 45cm in diameter solid gold statue of an acorn, and the symbol of our people.

Diplomatic talks can begin when ever you choose.

(OOC: I forgot to mention, the fact that you chose the Art and Theater district greatly improves your status in my nation's eyes. No one chooses my favorite district.

Anyways, the talks can happen here. Just send whoever to Yanitaria City, and they will be escorted to the Presidential Palace, and be welcomed to stay there as a guest while the talks go on.)

It'd be interesting if you RP'd as a nuclear wasteland, trying to maintain control over it's boarders while squirming it's way into the diplomatic ring. Sorta makes me hope that I'll get nuked some day.

Approved, however, we cannot provide a hanger on site. A helipad can be provided, and your helicopter can be stored at Leif Eriksson International Airport.

We would like to ask you nicely to please choose a more reliable rifle, or to refrain from firing them on Embassy Property.

If you would like, we could donate the same number of the more advanced and reliable AY-142 rifles.

Offical Reply to Yanitaria Government:

On behalf of The Kingdom of Grasaland we would like to congratulate and thank your government for their handling of this situation. We accept that the hangar cannot be sited on embassy property and accept your generous offer of the helicopter being stored at Leif Eriksson International Airport.

However the SA-80 is the standard infantry weapon of the Royal Grasalandik Armed Forces, and isn't considered a hazard to any of our active or passive operations or to military personal or to those under their protection. We also only use the SA-80 for embassy defence or for gate duties. The weapons will never be fired unless a danger is considered to Grasalandik Citizens by the Territorial Diplomatic Protection Duties who are trained members of the Royal Grasalandik Territorial Combat Reserve Troops.

So we see no fit reason for re-training our personnel to use a new weapon, when that weapon has proved itself in combat and is accepted in every other country which Grasaland has an embassy in.

Ambassador To Yanitaria

We accept your position on your weapons, although you should note that the SA-80 has never had a reputation for reliability, and, outside of the first shot, it's accuracy is on par with rifles much older and more reliable than itself.

You'll have to forgive our bias against such a weapon, as Yanitaria is a central industrial center for armaments in the region.

We thank you for your decision on the SA-80 assualt rifle, perhaps as Yanitaria is a central industrial center for armaments in the region perhaps you could produce an upgraded verison of the SA-80 rifle for the Royal Grasalndik Military.

Re:Fwd:Off Reply From Grasaland

From: Marcus Renault, Yanitarian Arms Design Department

Hello,

I have been told that you are interested in examining a design based on the SA-80. While we could improve the impingment system, and make various upgrades, you must understand that rifles are mostly the same.

There are, really, 3-4 kinds of rifles. Based on the gas systems, and most modern rifles fall into that 3-4 rifle category. The SA-80 belongs to a category that is filled with overcomplicated rifles and trade offs made at the expense of reliability. The insides are totally overcomplicated, prone to jamming, and would only really benefit from a huge redesign.

If you were to switch to a different rifle, such as the simple and workable AY-142, future troops could learn to fieldstrip their rifles in an hour, rather than the weeks it takes for the more complicated SA-80 or M16 rifles. Even better, the simply AY-142 can be upgraded very easily, while any upgrade to the SA-80 that doesn't directly improve the impingment system will likely make the reliability issues much worse.

If you'd like to reconsider the SA-80 as a base, perhaps we could design a rifle you would agree with. In the mean time, you should check the Yanitarian Arms store, and take a look at the rifles we have available.
