President Yegar Provoçe loved to feel nostalgic and remember some the best time and highlights in his life.
Provoçe was an extremely short man coming only up to the shoulders on most people but he had done some great things. Though he is mostly seen an an iron hard staunch stalinist that has keeped his small nation of Bulgislavia trapped frozen in an era somehwere in the 80's cold war. Foriegners that visit Bulgislavia always describe it as a Iron Curtain relic that has miraculously survived this long after the fall of all its allies.

Provoçe became leader of Bulgislavia in 1962 at the young age of 32. He was firecly stalinist and deeply loyal to the USSR. HE enjoys lavish celebrations, he loves fine dinning and architecture. He loves architecture so much he has a vast collection of models or monuments, towers and other stuctures in a Museum in Terevesti. He once said in an interview "I'm just bringing the world to Bulgislavia" when asking about the construction of a replica of the Arc De Triumph and other famous monuments the country has mimic'ed.

One of Provoçe's most favourite memories is his Official State visit to the Embrionic Socialist state of Lerasia 23 years ago in 1985.
Essad Romescu who was largely seen as Provoçe Lerasian equivalent came to power in a bitter rebel war in 1981.

Although Romescu never declared his nation a Peoples Republic it had socialist tendencies and a lot of communist traditions like the clapping in unison were adopted.

(OOC: Some of you may remember Lerasia and the Romescu dictatorship that was toppled last year in April well i use to be Lerasia and so i'm doing sort of like a historical thing looking back when the two dictators were friends)

Provoçe was use to the official state vistits it was his favourite part of being a president. He loved recieving gifts from foriegn lands to put in his museums and he also loved hosting celebrations.

Bulgislavia has watched the 1981 revolution in Lerasia with interest it was a poor backwards nation and Romescu had socialist tendencies. Immediatly Bulgislavia recognised the new government under Romescu and planned for an Official state visit to occur in 1985.

"I like this Romescu, i've read some of his writings on the situtaion in Lerasia and what his goals are to achieve a rich life for all Lerasians" Provoçe would tell everyone.
Eventually 1985 came and the airpotr of Berezin was prepped to recieve Provoçe. While on the Plane Provoçe was like an excited little kid, very rarely did he show his emotions like only when he was visiting foriegn leaders did he get like this

"Open a bottle of the finest champaign, i'm thirsty and i'm just in a happy mood"

The airport landed in Berezin. The city still had its old architecture at this stage. The tarmac was filled with hundreds of flag waving Patriots of Lerasians waving thier flags about. There was a black limosene with the flags of both the countries on each side of the bonet.

Provoçe stepped off the plane and gave a wave to the cheering crowds and then sat into the limo

All lined on both sides of the streets were hundreds of Lerasian citizens cheering and waving flags. It was like this for the whole drive.
Provoçe could not contain his excitement and already the uniformity and discipline of the Lerasian flag wavers outside were inspiring him.

"We really must hold something just like this, shouldnt we?" said Provoçe to one of his aides

The Limo stopped outside an old palatial building. It must of been over 200 years old and the architecture was similar to what you would see in Barcelona.
Provoçe stepped out and Romescu stode up to Provoçe and they both shook hands. It was a little startling as Romescu was significantly taller then Provoçe

They walked inside the building. Interpereters for both the sides and the two statesmen sat in on a comfortable L shaped sofa that faced all the camera's

they then began talking in thier languages with the interpereters talking to the other

"Tell him we are very glad for this new relationship and we hope we can recieve Romescu in Bulgislavia one day" then after they got over the formal conversations they talked about Global affairs and then it changed to talk about food's, wines and other possesions

Then Provoçe enetered his private guest chamber of the building

"It isnt very big is it?" said Provoçe
He loved living in luxury and he always judged his guest housing very harshly when staying abroad
"The door knobs are quite squeky, the steeps are to large and high for me, these lights dont give off much light do they? Where is all the art work!?"
The aides suffered this kind of annoying complaints for the duration of Provoçe's stay in Lerasia

That night Romescu put on a grand lavish ceremony with great imported food stuffs, more photographs and fotage was taking of the two leaders clinging their wine glasses together then they talked about the state of each others nations

"Bulgislavia can identify with the thrid world, we suffer many of the same problems and that is why we should work together so our people no longer have to suffer"

The feast went on up till midnight where Provoçe finally decided to go to bed

DAY 2 OF THE VISIT ........................................................................

Provoçe was dressed in his most expensive suit as it was an important day, He was about to recieve the Honor of Romescu. The highest order of the country it was a medel that would be presented to Provoçe at a lavish ceremony in a small public square in what would soon become Romescu Square. This medal would then be transported back to Terevesti and placed in the Palace of Provoçe and another gift from an international leader

The square was again filled with hundreds of civilains chanting and cheering and then Provoçe greeted Romescu where Romescu gave a speech of comradery and co-operation then presented the medal and the ceremony ended with the nation anthems of both nations.

That night Provoçe spent the whole time showing his medal off to his aides
"look i swear i can see my reflection if i shine it more with my hands, its incredable, take a look!"

DAY 3 OF THE VISIT ..........................................................................

This day nothing special happened only Provoçe met with some Lerasian architects where he aquired more models of famous Lerasian landmarks so he can consider building replica's back in Bulgislavia but on a much more grander scale

Day 4 OF THE VISIT .........................................................................

More propaganda was created as footage and photo's were taken of the two dictators inspecting local factories where Romescu would lecture the workers on the best way to do thier jobs

DAY 5 OF THE VISIT ...........................................................................

Provoçe spent this day in his guest room. He was then called at midday where he had to depart for the Berezin airport and return back to Bulgislavia
Before leaving the building him and Romescu signed important papers of economic partnerships and treaties of co-operation and it was thier they exchanged gifts

Provoçe gave Romescu an eleborate Bulgislavian leather chest with Romescu signed on the lid. and then Romescu presented Provoçe with a great Lerasian Rug. it had an eleborate pattern of a lion with vines and other wildlife it was magnificent and took 5 people to carry it.
With that Romescu and Provoçe hugged freindly and then back past the streets with the flag waving Lerasians and the airports where he got on his plane and flew back to Bulgislavia

AFTER THE VISIT


Romescu and Provoçe had one of the closest relationships between any two dictators. They wrote each other letters and more visits occured.
Romescu did a tour of the warsaw pact countries though he made sure he coincided his visit in Bulgislavia with the May Day and VE day celebrations in 1988. Another visit was exchanged where Romescu visited Provoçe in 1999 and then in 2004 Provoçe visited Romescu again.

It was a terrible day for Provoçe when he heard the news that Romescu was overthrown in a revolution on April 2007. He was even furious when he learnt that Romescu was executed in a hasty trial days after he was deposed and he refused to recognise the new government

"What sort of animals do they think they are how dare they do this!" he banned all visits from anyway for a week. Now Provoçe's closest friend at the moment is The leader of Bulkania
