The Premier-Concile of the PDFRS, Ryan Laing, stepped out of his Helicopter that had ripped the tarmac placed on the helipad placed on the top of the main tower of The PDFRS' HGI (House of Governmental Issues).

Today was an important day. It was one of a rare occasion that all the leaders of the Pacific Islands met up and discussed issues about the region.

As the PC entered the Reception he picked out a bottle of Still Water and a glass and entered the conference room. The Room had an 18-foot Mahogany Table with 13 seats around it, 6 On eanh long side and one at the top (Where the Premier Concile would be seated).

In the Corner of the room at a seperate desk was a Scribe who was to write down everything that was said in the meeting.

The PC emptied the content of the bottle into his glass and walked over to another desk where a laptop was situated as he started to send an e-mail to his Minister of Foreign Affairs.

As he'd finished sending the message, the maid had laid out Notepads, a pen, a sign with the countrys name on and a two little flags, one of Solenial and one of the Nation at which the Representitive was seated.

Mr Laing sat down to his chair wrote down some notes and awaited the other leaders to arrive.

bump...

David Aposon had his standard issue Beretta 92F as was the norm for Uir diplomats. He had two bodyguards at all times like Luk Monikison. The tragedy of Edward Forgul was not to be repeated and neither were the rascist moves made by the Cyan Party. The Blue Party had been elected to lead the nation and he had been elected by the Blue Party to represent the nation. He wondered to himself how different it would be in Uiri if voters actually read and names were printed on ballots.

He got out of the helicopter. It was a bright and sunny day and he entered the building from the rooftop entrance. He walked down the hall and entered the designated conference room. Before he opened the door, one of his bodyguards had a word of caution, "Have your handgun ready at all times, we don't know what could happen." David nodded and entered the room.

In front of each empty chair was a piece of parchment. David noticed one with the Uir flag and switched it with the one in front of the seat to Mr. Laing's left. It had the Taeshat flag on it and David scoffed. Taeshat wasn't soveriegn, it was part of Taeshan with a semi-unique degree of autonomy and a separate exchange rate than Taeshan. Simliar to Ashweren. Why these lesser contries be represented David had no clue to but he didn't let his thoughts seem too obvious.

"Alo, Misor Laing, I am flu ent in En g lish an d Uir. Ho about jou? I am sory about my ac sent," David said first in Uir and then switched to English, "How is te economy of Soleni al?

ooc- Solenial, can we scratch the kiddnap thread, please?

ic- Roland stepped out of his private jet. "Keneth!" he yelled. "Yas," his assistant said in native Miroxian. Roland looked at his seriously, "Do I have something in my teeth? :p" Keneth smiled, "Non, Surk Roland. Vo oo want e breth ment?" Roland nodded as he took one. He and Keneth walked into the HGI. "Ah, I love coming to Coshastati; the fresh air, the native Solen, and Ryan Laing, a good friend," Roland said as he and Keneth walked into the elevator to go to the meeting room. "Ek to," Keneth replied. They arrived and saw Ryan and David sitting down. "Ah, Ryan, David, goood to see you here," Roland said. "sorry if I brought someone extra, but this is my assisant/bodyguard, Keneth Jarvis Marsh." "He," Keneth said. "Orry, bu I oly spek Surukan. Es zat ok? Oh, an do't werry abut ek stading, it fini; if e spt do oen uk, I be lad to sit own." So, Keneth stood as Roland found his seat. Keneth stuck his hand in his shirt, just incase he had to protect Roland with his gun.

The plane had landed smoothly at the airport and President Snow and her body guards stepped down the steps on to the tarmac. There was a limo waiting for them down there. For a short period they drove, passing through Solenial. Adriana took in the scenery and then took a sip of her water bottle.

As they approched the Houses of Government she saw a helicopter on the tower of the building."Mi domando chi altro oltre al Solenii essere qui?" she asked her aid.

They entered Houses and headed into the hall "La tabella non un cerchio? Quanto scortese…" she thought to herself. "Ciàllo! Hello!" she said to the other leaders present and then sat down in front of the seat with Cookboroughan Flag and sign next to President Forgul.

Well chucky the New president of Taeshan and hi close allies President Michael Vick of Ashlaea, and King Icup and Queen Gip funny colors of Ashweren arrived at the pi conference today. Note King Icup ripped up the taeshaet sign of wich he had just taken control of and Chucky swiched seats with the guy who was supposed to sit next to solenial.

OOC- Miroxia, okay we can abandon the Kinapp thread.

"So, i believe we have matters to discuss. As the Meeting begins now i guess any other leaders can arrive later (OOC- I can't have us all waiting around for about a day)."

The Premier Concile worte down notes, like what time it was started and what issues were to commence.

"First of all, i would like to discuss the issue of Regional Economy. As you know there has been talks of when your economy reaches a certain level you are able to switch to the Pacifica. Here are some Questions:

1. What is Your Economy: e.g Thriving
2. What is your current Currency: e.g Tulii
3. What do you think of the idea of a Regional Currency e.g I think it is a good idea but i might rather want to keep the Tulii, it is a sign of Solenial's Sovereignity

OOC- If you don't want to RP Ashweren then don't i'm not even sure they were invited

"Well, Ryan, sadly, we have a weak economy," Roland said. "Yas, re do," Keneth replied. "But our currency is rupee, and I think the idea of a national currency is a good one. But the name might have to be switched," Roland continued. "I think it should be called 'The Pacifc Isle Dollar' " (ooc- if it doesn't fit in the given space on "Settings"...) "or just simply the 'Pacific dollar.' " Roland waited for one of his region-mates to reply.

"How about 2 classes of 'Pacific Isle Dollar' Class A & B (OOC- both called the same) Economies between Powerhouse and Frightening can be class A and Imploded to Strong could be Class B... I know i've missed some statuses out but i'm just giving out a vague idea."

i cant rp ashlaea or ashweren because they wont let me go on the forums with them

Keneth smiled, "I pursinilli liki da idear. How boot oo, surk?" Roland grinned and replied, "I do like the idea, but would I be in class B?" He looked to Ryan and continued, "You can answer that later. In Miroxian news, elections for dicatators will cease, and the dictator will be appointed by the Miroxian Dictator Appointers Assosiation when the current dictator dies or quits; don't can't on me going anywhere for a while, though!" "Gued von, surk," Keneth replied.

((OOC: David is newly elected, e.g. doesn't know you very well, only Ryan's name))

((OOC: I have Frightening which is the top of the ladder, the Arjet, As the exchange rate is 0.30 between each level (At All-Consuming the Arjet was US$1.56, now it is US$1.86) I beleieve that the majourity of nations would have to all be at one level. Frightening takes three months to get right after you achieve All-Consuming. I think Miamoria (if answering to all issues answers like mine) should reach it beginning of January. For everyone else's information, the arjet is divided into 1000 mila. Mila is singular and plural))

((OOC: Taeshan, you can't just say you switch seats because Chucky didn't know that David switched the parchments.))

"And you would be...?" Was david's response to Roland. He had no idea who he was. When David heard talk of having the same currency as Miamoria or Cookborough he stood up, "A Cookborough Franc is only 0à705 (read as 705 mila), the Mia is 0à690.3, the Phett is 0à600.3, The Tulii 0à526.5. The Taeshan mercural is 0à248.6 and the rupee is only 0à040.9"

"Where are my manners?" Roland said. "I'm Roland Adams III of the Pacific Isle Dictatorship of Miroxia and this is my assistant, Keneth. Nice to meet you David. By the way, David, what did happen to our good friend Edward?" Keneth added, "Yas, wha ded hoppin, David?"

Roland's cell phone rang just suddenly. The ringtone, "A Salute to My Homeland, Miroxia" seemed to on the nerves of some. He answered, "Hello?...Yes...oh, that...seeing no need to stay, tell the ambassador the say to resign...ok...good...yep...bye." He shut his phone, stood up, and stated, "This just in, the Pacific Isle Dictatorship of Miroxia has, from this day forth, has resigned from the United Nations, seeing as we have no need to be there, and we shall be free from their laws and resolution. Sorry to interrupt, just needed to take that call, and needed to tell you that. Thank you." He sat back down, awaiting for the meeting to commence.

"I most vehemently disagree with the idea of a regional currency." said President Snow, "The Cookborough Franc is a part of our national identity, and already one of the strongest currencies in the region. Introducing a new currency would only hurt some of the more economically powerful nations in the region."

"Mrs. President Snow," Roland said, "In a way, it isn't. You're just changing to a common exchangable currency. Your nations economy won't be affected by this, because, although having a common currency, it will be worth the same as your old currency, yet will be easier to exchange." "I agee veeth Roland," Keneth said. "Vut, et ees oor opinon." Roland nodded in agreement.

"From what i hear, i would say we'd leave it a while before considering a Regional Currency and i don't even want to abandon the Tulii."

Mr Laing stood up and left the room,

"I'll just be a minute..."

As the Premier Concile left the room, talking could be heard,

"Frijik, Ré tu carr vi vu Foldre desc du va Cellua ce pu du v'achivée sour Febrié"
"Affir, Premcon"

Translation
"Frijik, Can you take this folder down stairs and put it into the Archives for February."
"Affirmative, Sir (Or Premier Concile)"

The Leader of the PDFRS returned with a yellow folder which he had placed onder his Jotter and bagan to write. Afterward he looked up and asked,

"So, are any of you in any Conflicts?"

"Mrs. President Snow," Roland said, "In a way, it isn't. You're just changing to a common exchangable currency. Your nations economy won't be affected by this, because, although having a common currency, it will be worth the same as your old currency, yet will be easier to exchange." "I agee veeth Roland," Keneth said. "Vut, et ees oor opinon." Roland nodded in agreement.

"But, how? For it to be the same currency but have different exchange rates among nations is the same as having different currencies." replied Adriana

"So, are any of you in any Conflicts?"

"Cookborough is not currently involved in any conflicts." she added

"I believe that we should peg currencies for a stable economic balance between our nations. That way we get the best of both worlds, it's easy to exchange and we keep our currencies as they are. In order to adjust for economic changes to avoid deflation or inflation we update on the 11th of each month the peggings. This way if one economy makes a great leap, the rates can reflect that." David suggested before adding, "Uiri isn't in any conflicts."

((OOC: The adjusting is in case someone's economy goes up or down.

Be back with what the current peggings would be.

Roland looked around. "So," he started, "What elese can we discuss?" "Vah," Keneth replied.

"What about recent Trade Relations?" Mr Laing added "Solenial has built a number of new Embassy's our sportswear company Siko has hit it off and we've bought many warehouses abroad. Any other International and Economical advancements."

President Snow replied, "We've recently had a boom in tourism that has greatly helped the economy."

"Well, Uir corporations continue to manufacture arms and due to the fact that citizens are waking up to the fact that they are allowed to carry guns, there are big profits in that sector. A prepared for side-effect is the increase in crime, particularly youth-related, which could also be due to the fact that would-be public education money - feh - is being poured into the police force," David said, "Are we agreed on pegging the currencies of the PI then?"

"The peggings system is even more confusing than the exchange rates we have now." said Adriana

"Well," David started, "The pegging system keeps currencies in place so that you can go to Uiri, trade your francs for arjets, have your vacation, and change your money back at the same rate provided there were no severe economic booms or busts while you were on vacation. This way you don't loose or gain any money if the economy remains at the same level. All the benefits of having the same currency without having your economy being dragged down by higher prices."

(EDIT: NSEconomy is down so I'm using NSDossier atm)

"Unfortunetly," Roland started, "we've been a quiet nation, no trades, our embasies haven't been applied for in months, and, from recenlty leaving the UN, although my decision, we won't be a very well-known country. In other news, our army is pretty good. I've been itching to help in war, but I haven't heard of any conflicts. The world seem like it's basically at peace!" "Vah, veet do swaem zat vay, surk," Keneth replied.

(Using NSDossier)

"Roland, although you are spending a lot on your military for your GDP, you simply can't support 0.3% of your population (1,839,000 troops including logistics) in your army. If you can, say, give us acess to your, say, arms manufacturing sector, we can, say, offer you 10% discount on weapons. Just a question before I move from the hypothetical stuff, what are the legal status of guns in your country?"

"I remember, sometime ago, I passed a law and everyone must own a gun," Roland replied. "U, ka! I vevember! I zigned zat lawe! It es e law," Keneth replied.

Mr Laing shuffled, "I hope i'm not interupting Roland, but why is Keneth here?"

"Ahh, wonderful. So, are you going to give access to your gun markets to Uir arms manufacturing in exchange for a 10% discount on weapons bought by your military and protection for Uir forces from foriegn invaders until you can get your economy onto its feet? That being defined as reaching a 'Good' economy? Access to your Uranium Mining market would also be appresciated and we will offer help on getting your economy to 'Good'," David offered, "Ryan, I do beleive that Kenneth is the advisor to Roland and keeps track of laws and agreements."

"I vote agains the peggings, i really just would like to stick to the status quo. said President Snow and then added "Besides currency what are our other business of the meeting?"

"Well, i believe we've discussed what i was thinking, (like it worked) the floor is open to other discussions.

"Prime Minister David, as long as you have absoluteley no control over my armies, it's a deal. As for Keneth, he is indeed my advisor and keeper of law and agreements, but he's also my bodyguard, the newly appointed (by me) Minister of Defence and the Miroxian Overseer, a government official to keep track on everything that happens in the country and is one of the representive from the Port Durant District," Roland said. Keneth smiled. "Another good thing about him is he can speak Miroxian can understant English, but just can't seem to speak it. It is a bit odd, but that's what makes him so great! He understands us and, since most people in Miroxia know English and Miroxian, we understand him!" "Eet es troo!" Keneth replied. "I vas vooted ze nost luvved pulitizian in Suruka!"

From the tables of the Taeshanese alliance.

"Ich spreche Engliaes, Taeshaneise und Germanic" says chucky.
Well any ways Wed like to discuss the public beating of ashweren social workers by there students. also does anyone wanna actually do the seven nations cup.

"Ashweren is doing what now?"

"Cookborough will enter the Seven Nations Cup if it is still open."

No it was there students (orphans) beating social workers and cookborough i believe you could possibly replace the seventh team (maybe)

"I am not Prime Minister, Roland. I am President. If I were Prime Minister of Uiri, I would not be attending this meeting. President of Uiri governs external affairs while Prime Minister of Uiri governs internal affairs. Of course we wouldn't have control over your army, that would be breaching your sovereignity," David told Roland. At the mention of social workers David said, "Social workers? What are those supposed to be?"

No it was there students (orphans) beating social workers and cookborough i believe you could possibly replace the seventh team (maybe)

[OoC: it would be "their orphans" not "there orphans" /grammar nazi]

"They have orphans beating social workers?"

sure

Roland smiled, "My apologizes, President David. Anyway, (ooc- I don't know if you aswered this yet, Uiri, but...) what did happen to my good friend, Edward?"

ooc- in gonna be on vacation (or holiday or whatever its called :p) for four days. I might have internet, so i'll check in whenever i can.

"Edward died. Anyways, I guess we should amke the deal official," David said while one of his bodyguards took out a peice of parchment with Uiri's flag in one corner and Miroxia's flag in the other and handed it to the president. David signesd it and passed it to Roland.

It had the title 'Uir-Miroxian Gun Markets for Help Agreement'. It allowed Uir gun manufacturers to sell without tariffs or other protectionist measures to Miroxians and to the Miroxian Army at a 10% discount. The Uir army would help to protect Miroxia in exchange for this allowance. The agreement shall go on until Miroxia reaches an economy of 'Good'.

Keneth handed him a pen as Roland signed the deal. "Done!" Roland said as he passed the deal back the David.

"Tank jou very much, Rolan-d. I hope jou never reg-ret tis deal," David said as he handed the deal to one of his bodyguards. "We will asis-t jour economy any way we can. I do believe tat tis meetin is over so I will be on my way," and with that david got up and walked back to the helicopter.

He thought about the events which had transpired. This would be a great money maker for David as in fine print was a clause which gave David a 250à000 fee/month until the deal closed which could take a very long time. This was to be paid on the last day of every month. The higher Roland got his economy the less it would cost in rubles. This of course was a necessary incentive because David did not want Miroxia cruising on Uiri's protection forever.

Prime Minister Ryan Laing re-entered the room in which only David had left,

"Sorry about me leaving without notice, we have important issues to deal with. Greston is threatening to use Nuclear Weapons, anyway, we'd like to thank you for coming and i hope you all have a good day. Also, The Coronation of HM Queen Alessandra I is on next week if any of you wish to attend."

The Prime Minister moved out of the way of the door and allowed the other leaders to exit.

OOC: I am sorry to but in, but Solenia, I use non-nuclear ICBMs, I wouldn't nuke a colony hopeful, I only blow the shit out of it and set it a flame. SO just wanted to point that out.

OOC- Yeah great, 'cos it makes all the world of difference... if you want to use Non Nuclear ICBM's thats upto you
