my nation compared to the billion or more population of others makes my nation weak.

There are many bully nations and part of survival is to allow a big brother to lend the helping hand.

We are the smaller brother in this relationship and we can offer all our brothers who believe in preventing unwarranted aggression the benefit of our knowledge that can be used efficiently by the small as well as the big.

You are totally right, but considering that there was no real civil rights movement specifically for africans, I suppose they'd just be called Africans.

I've got no Africans in Kirav. Or Europeans. I guess I have some South Asian Tartarystan refugees, but that's about it for RL races.

To be honest, the white people up here are more likely to nab you for saying "Black" than black people are. It's quite strange.

To: Confederate Council of the Scandinvan Protectorates
From: Emperor Lugalu II, Ounas ar-Ekunos

I do hope that this Confederacy is still accepting members, as I would like for the great nation of Uraartu to join as a full-fledged member. Below is all the relevant information, if more is needed I will be happy to comply.

Nation’s Name: Uraartu
Head of the Executive Branch: Crown Council, headed by the Emperor Lugalu II, Ounas ar-Ekunos
Government Type: Constitutional monarchy (Officially), Compulsory Consumerist State (UN category)
Governing Body: Free People's Congress (tricameral)
Currency: Pachyderm Credit (OOC: official currency of my region, Aliquantulus Pachydermus)
Population: 12,000,000 currently
Languages [O=official]: Sarro (O), Tepani (O), Seneko (O), Senera (O), English, Mandarin Chinese, German
Demographics: Ten major clans are recognized by the government as constituting separate ethnicities for statistical purposes. They are from largest to smallest: Ekunos, Akkadu, Eridu, Ellahu, Honshai, Ercanu, Hundiata, Kabeiro, Kepha, Khorshi
Bio: The Uraartu people would likely spend weeks upon weeks detailing their nation's glorious past. But Uraartu today is a minor player in world affairs. Lying in the middle of the Aquantulus Pachydermus continent, Uraartu is landlocked and separated from two of its most religiously and culturally important features; Mount Plouton, according to ancient mythology the location where souls go in order to reach heaven, and Lake Nechtun, the path to hell according to ancient mythology but also the only path to the ocean via an extensive river system.

The Uraartu government is very complex. The executive, using Western terminology, is made up of the Crown Council which consists of the Emperor and a number of other royal figures from across the country as well as the Supreme Commader of the Uraartu Armed Forces, the Chancellor of the University of Dahleez, the Archpriest of Urushalim, and the Federal President the only elected figure on the Council. I will not go into detail about the powers, procedures, and other minute aspects of the Council, other than to emphasize that it is the final say on all matters of law, and the Emperor in turn has the final say on the Council.

The legislature is made up of the tricameral Free People's Congress. The most powerful house would most certainly be the Ancient Senatus, which is made up of members of the nobility from all across Uraartu. These Senators are born into their position and hold them for life. They are the only house which has the power to veto the decisions of the other two houses. The Senatus also serves as the Court of Last Resort, or what you would call the Supreme Court, though not all Senators act in this capacity. Rather, seven Justices are chosen by the Crown Council every five years.

The Chamber of Delegates is made up of Delegates appointed by the local governments, all of which are monarchies with the exception of the three Free Cities which are extremely democratic in every aspect of their local government; Lhomon, Dahleez, and Lao Nio. They are the only house which has the power to veto the decisions of the other two houses. It should be noted the the Chamber makes all decisions regarding government finances.

The Great House of the People's Representatives is relatively new, being formed in the 1950's, using Western dating, by the Emperor Tegros III. They are elected by the people nationwide, and choose from among their members a Prime Minister and the Cabinet. Both the Prime Minister and the Cabint must be confirmed by the Crown Council, however. The GHPR makes many decisions regarding foreign policy, though the other two houses have this power as well in certain circumstances.


I hope that this is enough information. Again, if more is required I would be happy to oblige your request.

Lugalu II Ounas

To: Confederate Council of the Scandinvan Protectorates
From: Emperor Lugalu II, Ounas ar-Ekunos

I do hope that this Confederacy is still accepting members, as I would like for the great nation of Uraartu to join as a full-fledged member. Below is all the relevant information, if more is needed I will be happy to comply.

Nation’s Name: Uraartu
Head of the Executive Branch: Crown Council, headed by the Emperor Lugalu II, Ounas ar-Ekunos
Government Type: Constitutional monarchy (Officially), Compulsory Consumerist State (UN category)
Governing Body: Free People's Congress (tricameral)
Currency: Pachyderm Credit (OOC: official currency of my region, Aliquantulus Pachydermus)
Population: 12,000,000 currently
Languages [O=official]: Sarro (O), Tepani (O), Seneko (O), Senera (O), English, Mandarin Chinese, German
Demographics: Ten major clans are recognized by the government as constituting separate ethnicities for statistical purposes. They are from largest to smallest: Ekunos, Akkadu, Eridu, Ellahu, Honshai, Ercanu, Hundiata, Kabeiro, Kepha, Khorshi
Bio: The Uraartu people would likely spend weeks upon weeks detailing their nation's glorious past. But Uraartu today is a minor player in world affairs. Lying in the middle of the Aquantulus Pachydermus continent, Uraartu is landlocked and separated from two of its most religiously and culturally important features; Mount Plouton, according to ancient mythology the location where souls go in order to reach heaven, and Lake Nechtun, the path to hell according to ancient mythology but also the only path to the ocean via an extensive river system.

The Uraartu government is very complex. The executive, using Western terminology, is made up of the Crown Council which consists of the Emperor and a number of other royal figures from across the country as well as the Supreme Commader of the Uraartu Armed Forces, the Chancellor of the University of Dahleez, the Archpriest of Urushalim, and the Federal President the only elected figure on the Council. I will not go into detail about the powers, procedures, and other minute aspects of the Council, other than to emphasize that it is the final say on all matters of law, and the Emperor in turn has the final say on the Council.

The legislature is made up of the tricameral Free People's Congress. The most powerful house would most certainly be the Ancient Senatus, which is made up of members of the nobility from all across Uraartu. These Senators are born into their position and hold them for life. They are the only house which has the power to veto the decisions of the other two houses. The Senatus also serves as the Court of Last Resort, or what you would call the Supreme Court, though not all Senators act in this capacity. Rather, seven Justices are chosen by the Crown Council every five years.

The Chamber of Delegates is made up of Delegates appointed by the local governments, all of which are monarchies with the exception of the three Free Cities which are extremely democratic in every aspect of their local government; Lhomon, Dahleez, and Lao Nio. They are the only house which has the power to veto the decisions of the other two houses. It should be noted the the Chamber makes all decisions regarding government finances.

Supreme Protector of the Faithful,
Keeper of the Sacred Law,
Defender of All Beings,
Lugalu II OunasGood template and we shall welcome you openly to the Confederacy. To ask does your nation require aide from the Scandinvan Empire?

To: Confederate Council of the Scandinvan Protectorates
From: Emperor Lugalu II, Ounas ar-Ekunos

First off, I would like to personally thank you for our acceptance into this prestigious organization. I am sure that all involved shall benefit.

To answer your inquiry, aid is not required at this time. While the Uraartu economy may be small, so is our population, resulting in a GDP per capita over US$30,000 and very low unemployment rate. Our military is in drastic need of modernization, but I have entrusted this process to the Minister of War and Home Defense who has chosen to take on a slow, gradual process of updating our equipment, vehicles, and weaponry.

While I am writing this from a conference in the nation of Holy Paradise, I will send my Federal President to attend the Confederate Council until such time that a permanent representative can be chosen.

Signed,

The Most Sanctified and August Sage-Emperor of All Under Heaven,
Patriarch of House Ounas and the Ekunos Clan,
High and Mighty Lord of the Crown Council,
First Citizen and Primes Inter Pares,
Supreme Protector of the Faithful,

Very well then and we look forward to your membership in the Confederacy.

Signed,
Imperial Steward,
Lord Erida

In the course of international events, it is sometimes necessary to make strategic alliances in order to promote growth, both militarily and economically. Indeed, joining the Confederacy of Scandinvan Protectorates has been extremely beneficial for our nation, allowing Yanitarians access to oil at low prices, and bringing Yanitaria closer to the other nations involved.

However, due to the changing economic climate of Yanitaria spurred by our entrance into the Fedala Accord, and the admittance of the Rogue State of Miroxia into the confederacy, it has been decided that membership in the Confederacy is not necessary, and, because of certain overly hostile yet extremely underdeveloped rogue nations, a threat to the security of our nation.

Our sincerest apologies.

Our sincerest apologies.OOC: Before, I am willing to expel Miroxia, on the grounds for not posting for over a month in any thread and due to my nation's closer ties with your own, however, do you simply wish to leave the Confederacy to advance your own interests, aside from the issue of Miroxia?

OOC: Mostly it's because I am not really participating in the confederacy, and I am going to be extremely strapped for time in the coming months, what with school starting, my new job, and designing things for my air corps. I'd really just like to focus on the things like the Fedala Accord, my RP regarding Sétif, my region, and designing things.

I don't even really care about the Miroxia thing anymore. But it just seemed like a better IC reason than none at all.

And of course, if you ever require anything, my nation still icly holds yours in very high regard

IC: Well we are saddened by the loss of our friend from the Confederacy, however we still respect you enough to let you go freely and not quesiton you further on the matter.

Yet, we shall, on the condition that you remain our ally, keep our previous trade agreements with your state and preserve our deal about the Scandincan Empire exporting relatively inexpensive oil to your nation open as we wish to do your nation no harm.

This is stipulation is most acceptable. Should the Scandinvan Empire ever require anything from Yanitaria, we will be happy to assist.

Citizen Jocelyn Eldegaard,
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
