OOC: This is a continuation of the thread Colonization: The Caribbean and Latin America. Here is the link http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=548179. The meeting is being held in Latislavia's capital city of Belrosko inside the building of the Parljagov.
IC:
Rein Wilhelms was dressed and ready for what ever the new day would bring. "Yakov, fjer ersta uno agenda per todja?" (Yakov, what is on the agenda for today?) "Oh, yicht, yicht, eh....," Yakov, Wilhelms' personal assitant, one of many, scanned over the list for today's activities. "Eh....oh, you are hosting the Brazil Conference on how to divide between the nations."
"Is that all?" asked Wilhelms(pronounced vil-helms). "That and dinner with your family." "Oh!" Wilhelms looked a little embarrased. Nevertheless, he hurried to his limo and was driven to the Parljagov. He could not believe how much Belrosko had grown up around him. It was now home to almost 25% of Latislavia's population.

King Vespagian had finally arrived at Kardavska National Airporta in Belrosko. He had to admit it was quite chilly and not exactly what he was used to living in Baresia. Nevertheless he was greeted by some members of a welcoming party of sorts. Vespagian then got into his limo that was waiting for them and rode into the city, around Federal Square. He eventually came to the offices of Parljagov. He was then taken inside and greeted by Rein Wilhelms, Latislavia's Premier. "Buongiorno" said Wilhelms, in almost flawless Italian. "Yeckmesh" replied Vespagian, in not nearly as good Latislav. " Pleased to meet you," said Vespagian.

Amongst the many diplomatic transports heading for Belrosko was a sleek Leer Jet sporting the blue-on-white cross with a bloodred center on its wings - the heraldic colours of the Principality of Northern Rangeria.

"Belrosko flight control, this is diplomatic plane Papa Romeo Uniform Mike Zero Two from Halsanki, Northern Rangeria. Request permission to land. Over."

Inside the jet sat Duke Stapani Aalthone, Northern Rangerian Minister of the Exterior, holding his suitcase in his lap and looking outside the window. It was important for Northern Rangeria to show the larger and more powerful nations that they were a major player in the colonisation as well, and for this reason the Minister himself has been dispatched to serve as the Principality's representative in the conference.

"Papa Romeo Uniform Mike Zero Two, this is Belrosko flight control from Bay 5, permission to land granted, over," the tower responded. " Runway is now clear, over."

OOC: I hope I didn't take to much creative license, I don't know much about your country, but if you want me to change anything, just ask.

IC: A medium sized private jet landed at Belrosko International airport. As the jet finally came to a stop, Steffen Mian walked down the stairs and stretched. He had never traveled to Latislavia, and this would be his first ever diplomatic conference. At first glance, the city seemed fairly nice. The temperature was moderate and the weather seemed pleasant. As he reached for his sunglasses he thought to himself, hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.

He was followed closely by his personal assistant and an experienced negotiator named Quentin Ladd. Quentin had worked in the Imperial Foreign Ministry for over 25 years, and had overseen many prior deals between the empire and other states throughout the world. He was known for his cunning, and also, if necessary, ruthlessness at the negotiating table. He viewed Mephras as a first rate power, and would not allow his country to be bullied by smaller, and as he thought, "less worthy nations." He would ensure that Mephras would be given the proper respect it deserved.

A governmental limo drove up to where the plane had landed, greeted the small group. They entered the vehicle, and prepared for their arrival at the conference.

EDIT: Latislavia, the mods have ruled that Minicity links are not allowed, so you might want to take that out of your signature.

Stenril Ðevur, Governor of the Dominion of America, arrived by a sleek E130 plane into Belrosko Airport.

He was charged with the mission of acquiring temperate areas of southern Brazil, to expand the Dominion. With thousands more colonists arriving from the metropole each day, all seeking land of a comfortable climate, Austramerica desperately needed to expand its territory.

After talking to King Vespagian, Wilhelms said to him," hmmm, I wonder where the others are. Hopefully they were able to get here safely." Then Wilhelms thought silently to himself, " Hopefully, if I can get at least one major coastal provincia, then I will be satisfied, and then everyone will know how much of a player in the world's stage Latislavia is."

A pine green jet marked "La Serenissima Repubblica di Cookboria" cleared through the clouds carrying the Cookboroughan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio DiVeneto.

He had been tasked with a very simple job, acquire some of coastal Brazil, and he did not feel he would be doing this in vain.

The plane asked for permission to land in Belrosko

The plane asked for permission to land in Belrosko

A voice came in from the tower to Cookborough's plane, "Belrosko Tower to Cookboria, permission granted to land. Bay 6 is open and the runway is clear. Welcome to Belrosko."

OOC: I'm sorry to have to jerk it in like this, but I've got to go offline, and claims dry up fast, so I'm going to state them now.
IC:

The Governor knew that the plane might have a delayed landing, so he wired a map of Kiro-American claims to the conference, along with a message.

Greetings. In case our plane does not land as scheduled, I wish, on the Dominion and Empire's behalf, that we wish to claim the areas of Brazil that are marked in green on the attatched map.

"Grazie, Torretta" replied the pilot

The plane gracefully landed in on to the tarmac and Minister DiVeneto exited the plane. He walked to a limosine and he and his attaches headed towards the conference

When they reached the car, he pulled up a map of Cookborough's proposed claim in light blue. [ooc:Linky] (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii290/Twilight201/Brazilia.gif)

Main Plaza, Parljagov
"Sir," said Yakov, racing towards Wilhelms with a message in his hand, "sir, sorry to bother you sir, but this just came in from Kirav." "Let me see it" said Wilhelms. He, along with Vespagian, looked at the letter. After reading it, Vespagian sighed and said," Well thats a shame, hopefully they'll be able to land. But they didn't get any claims I wanted, so thats good." "Yeah, thought Wilhelms to himself, they didn't get anything I wanted either. I wanted the very front one(in which in an alternate universe, was the provincia where Rio de Janero was). Oh well, but I do hope they are able to safely arrive." "Oh well," Wilhelms said out loud, " if they are not here by the time everyone else is, then I will tell them about the letter. If it is delayed by a day, I shall have my assistant arrange for them to stay at the finest hotels and suites in the city."

OOC: I'm just posting this to show what we are interested in (Red). Remember, this is a conference, and negotiations are part of the fun.

IC: On the way to the conference, a map was sent to Steffen and Quentin's PDAs. Quentin groaned when he saw their claims. How audacious, do they feel they can just send us a map, and we just automatically approve it? The Kiravian claim appeared to offer the Mephrasians the two territories adjacent to the current holding, however it also left them encircled by the Kiravians. These of course were territories of interest to Mephras, however, knowing that many powers would be jockeying for the coast, Mephras was not unwilling to take inland claims with promises of transportation rights.

Furthermore, true to type, the greedy Kiravians, who already held massive territories in the New world, had claimed a fairly large area, including key coastline, which would need to be more equally divided, allowing all powers access to the sea. How do they expect to support these claims with their pathetic economy? How antisocial are these people, do they really need 5 acres for every person! We might need to persuade them to review their claims a bit. After all, Mephras had one of the smallest continental claims at the moment, and was not going to be shoved aside.

OOC: I must have missed this; well, let's hope Neo-Ixania can still claim parts of Brazil. I apologize for my lateness.

A plane touched down on the runway of the airport after the others. A man in an expensive suit and a briefcase in his hand walked out of the plane with a smile on his face. This man was Leonid Baranov; who had decided to represent his own nation in the conference. Of course, the Viceroy of Neo-Ixanian America was eagerly anxious to claim parts of Brazil but knew he had to compete with others. His plan was to seize parts of Brazil with many natural resources. As he was on his way to the conference, he began thinking about how he would tell the others of Neo-Ixania's plans for Brazil. The Empress would soon see a colony expand, he thought, and he wanted to make her feel that he was a good politician and representative of Neo-Ixania.

He looked for the Latislavian greeters and hoped that they could take him to the conference. As he waited, he took out a map of Brazil and began thinking about what areas he wanted to claim.

OOC: I hope that I can claim parts of Brazil near the coast and/or have natural resources. I do not have an map of my claims at the moment.

Duke Aalthone cursed under his breath when the news of Kiravian and Latislavian claims hit his ears - or more precisely, his PDA.

He muttered in his native language as he made the appropriate changes to the map to show the regions that Northern Rangeria was interested of, mainly because of the natural resources of the area, and establishing an alternative route to the mountainous areas in their other continental colony, Alania.

The old man walked briskly towards his car. This would be an interesting conference, with claims being made before anybody even got to the table.

OOC: Northern Rangerian claims in blue. http://s180.photobucket.com/albums/x9/Mikko_M/?action=view&current=Brasilia.jpg - or the Para and Roraima provinces in real world. Also, if nobody wants Matto Grosso (the territory south of my holdings and north of Mephrasian ones), I'm interested in it as a bonus.

As they drove to the Parljagov, Minister DeVeneto was made aware that already 2 other nations had overlapped claims with Cookborough's previous claims.

"Well, this will be an interesting conference, we've already begun to divide the region before we arrive."

The car arrived at the Plaza

OOC: I guess we can see the maps that others are putting up ICly?

IC: As the limousine neared the conference venue, more maps were coming in to their PDAs, showing where other countries wished to stake their claims. Unfortunately, there already seemed to be conflict, as Cookborough seemed to eye the provinces adjacent to Bellatera.While this somewhat concerned Quentin, he felt that possibly having another power in the area could serve to benefit Mephrasian interests in the long run, blocking a Kiravian hegemony in the south.

After reviewing the proposals of the other states, the idea of a larger inland stake was becoming ever more appealing, however, a totally inland claim would have to compensate for the crucial loss of coast in size.

As the car slowed to a stop at the destination, Steffen thought to himself, This should be interesting.

The Kiravian plane eventually caught back up with its schedule, and a message was sent to Belrosko flight control.

"Belrosko tower, this is Kiravian diplomatic flight Romeo-Bravo six-one-two-eight. Requesting permission to land at your convenience. Over"

Romeo-Bravo, this is flight control, you are cleared for touchdown on Bay 14. The runway is clear, welcome to Belrosko.

OOC: Ok, this is getting a tad out of hand, lets actually have the conference, if we can lets just all fast forward to Parljagov.

OOC: You can assume Leonid Baranov is in Parljagov. I may be offline later tonight and/or this week so I hope that I will able to participate in this conference and obtain parts of Brazil.

Way out of OOC: as will I, I am gone during most of the day.

Way out of OOC: as will I, I am gone during most of the day.

OOC: I will try to be online when I can. Also, this post will have Leonid arriving in Parljagov.

It took several minutes for Leonid's limosuine to arrive in Parljagov. Leonid walked out of the limosuine with his briefcase in his hand; he walked into the conference building and took his seat in the room where the conference would be held. As he waited for the conference to begin, Leonid took out the papers in his briefcase and began studying them.

OOC: I've edited this post to pretend that the conference has started. I hope that is ok.

IC:Quentin stood before the delegates of the various nations. He glanced around the room quickly taking in everyones faces. He cleared his throat, and began to speak. "Esteemed delegates of nations who have partaken in the great task of conquering the southern areas of America, today we come together to finish this task, dividing up the final pieces of land in a peaceful discussion that hopefully will allow all parties to leave satisfied.

While the conference was to begin this process, many maps have already been passed around, and there seems to already be conflict between people's wishes. As a sign of goodwill, the Mephrasian Empire would like to start off by stating it no longer wishes to pursue the southern coastal area. We have amended our claim in hopes to allow others more coastal area." A map flashed on a large screen behind him.

http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/2772/newbrazilxn6.th.png (http://img165.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newbrazilxn6.png)

"As you can see, the claim is rather large. However, we have given up connection to the seacoast, and feel that it is only fair that our claim size reflects that sacrifice. Furthermore, for such a claim to work, we would require rights of passage through foreign territory, to ship our items through our southern ports, or through foreign ports on the seacoast. Such an agreement would no doubt allow a prosperous trading partnership to develop between the hinterland and the foreign coastal provinces. We hope this is suitable to all present parties." Quentin attempted to gauge the reactions of the other delegates as he took his seat and waited for the next delegate to speak.

Romeo-Bravo, this is flight control, you are cleared for touchdown on Bay 14. The runway is clear, welcome to Belrosko.

OOC: Ok, this is getting a tad out of hand, lets actually have the conference, if we can lets just all fast forward to Parljagov.

The Kiravian plane landed, and the Governor took a cab to the conference, slipping in just as the Mephrasian representative began to speak.

Rein Wilhelms did not notice the Kiravian representative slip in. He began talking to the other delegates. "Ehhh..first off, velcome to Belrosko, hope you all enjoy it here. I came to this conference because I felt that I myself neede to be here. I vish you all get what you desire by the time we adjourn." Wilhelms cleared his throat and began again. " Well, already ve have had maps passed around even before ve began." Wilhelms chuckled a little and continued once more. "Vell, ve have reviewed all claims already made, but now I vill tell you all that the Latislavik Federation wishes to have the four small, most coastal provinces(where rio de janero exists today). These are our only claims and ve vill be villing to talk to anyone who had interests in the same provincias."

The Kiravian commented, "We have no dispute at all with the Latislavic claim. However, we ask if there are any objections to the area claimed by Kiro-America."

Leonid Barasov stood and spoke after the Kiravian delegate was finished. "We wish to claim the regions close to the Amazon and which are near the coast; preferably in the North."

OOC: I do not have a map of my claims at the moment.

"Would these includ the areas surrounding the city of Bélem(sp)?", asked the Kiravian. Bélem was seen as a critical port for Kirav's more equatorial colonies.

"Would these includ the areas surrounding the city of Bélem(sp)?", asked the Kiravian. Bélem was seen as a critical port for Kirav's more equatorial colonies.

"We have been planning to take control of Belem, sir. Is Belem a city that Kirav wishes to control?"

"We have been planning to take control of Belem, sir. Is Belem a city that Kirav wishes to control?"

"Aye. But we can easily compensate by building a replacement in Kiravian Guiana."

"Aye. But we can easily compensate by building a replacement in Kiravian Guiana."

"That is good to hear, sir. Neo-Ixania has been interested in Belem and the vicinity and claims those areas. I am interested in learning if any other nations have a claim on any of the areas my nation has claimed."

"Actually, on this note, we rescind all of our claims to the provincia south of Guiana. It, being largely non-coastal, tropical land, would be impractical for us to colonise and govern."

The pain of being of the Cosciv race. Only 30% of them, the majority race in Kirav, could tolerate hot climates, only 10% could do so for extended periods. It made it difficult to build colonies around the equator, leaving the Empire's posessions in that area as mostly plantation colonies, exploit territories, or military bases.

The Kiravian commented, "We have no dispute at all with the Latislavic claim. However, we ask if there are any objections to the area claimed by Kiro-America."

Quentin addressed the Kiravian Delegate. "We have no problems with your claims, however, we would like to discuss rights of passage and port access in some of your territories. A large portion of Kiravian Territory lies between our inland claims and our coastal province. We were hoping commerce could move freely between our territories."

We were hoping commerce could move freely between our territories."

Leonid overheard Quentin talk about commerce and smiled as he looked at him. "Neo-Ixanian America would be interested in establishing a trade agreement with the Mephrasian colony."

Leonid overheard Quentin talk about commerce and smiled as he looked at him. "Neo-Ixanian America would be interested in establishing a trade agreement with the Mephrasian colony."

Quentin turned to face the Neo-Ixanian delegate. Quentin was of course, interested in opening any channels of trade, considering the isolated nature of the inland provinces. "We would certainly be interested in signing a trade agreement. We are committed to free and fair trade with our American neighbors. Do we have bordering provinces which allow movement of goods?"

OOC: Last post for the night. I hope it will be possible to gain parts of Brazil.

"At the moment, we control Florida, Columbia and several Caribbean islands. I do not believe we are neighbours but we can send ships to your ports; they will have resources such as soda, silk and wheat."

OOC: Which provinces in Brazil are you trying to claim?

IC: "This sounds very agreeable, however at present, our largest problem is transport between our inland colonies and our port colonies in the South. While these areas are currently undeveloped, we hope soon to be exporting coffee, soybeans, and various minerals. Eventually we hope to encourage other industries, which would of course be open to trade with Neo-Ixania."

"Perhaps the Principality may be of some assistance in the matter", said the elderly, grey-haired man bearing a blue-and-white sash decorated with a single piece of bloodred enamel shaped like a tear. "Should Northern Rangeria's claims in the north - mainly the coastal connection and the large section of tropical jungle that connects this area and our colony of Alania (OOC: Guiana) - be recognized, we would be happy to offer only a nominal tariff for exporting goods through the harbour we intend to build there. If these maps are correct, I believe there is a major waterway going through our area and touching Mephrasian holdings...?"

OOC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Brazil_Labelled_Map.svg (I am claiming the provinces of Amapa, Para, Amazonas and Maranhao)

"It would be good for us if we can arrange trade with the underdeveloped areas once you begin exporting coffee and other resources. We are interested in bringing foreign goods and resources to our nation's colony."

OOC: Hmm, I think we have a clash here. I'm also interested in Para. Also, Roraima next to it. Buut... Let's see how it goes. I'm willing to take Amazonas instead of Para.

IC: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, let us not start agreeing on trade when the issues of dividing this area are still on the table. I have spoken for my nation's part: our interests are connection to the sea and to our colony of Alania. Nothing more. Though... should my esteemed Neo-Ixanian colleague agree to allow Northern Rangerian ships to access their ports, we are willing to waver our claim on the larger of these two areas (Para) for a more inland area... I believe the area just south of our second claim (Roraima) is still unclaimed...?"

OOC: Oh... It wasn't. Well, that gives us something to negotiate, then.

OOC: Last post for the day (before I can get online again)

"We are willing to allow Northern Rangerian ships to access our ports but we would like to know if it will be only for trade or for other purposes. We have been hoping to have access to the coast so we can send resources to the other parts of Neo-Ixanian America."

"We aim for trade purposes only, my good colleague", the grey-haired old man said with a smile. "And perhaps a regiment of Jaegers inland, to protect the settlers until we have found a suitable location to build an airstrip. Mind you, these will be for defensive reasons only."

"But otherwise, are we in agreement? Northern Rangeria withdraws its claim on the coastal portion for possession of these two areas?" Duke Aalthone asked, pointing out the two areas (Roraima and Amazonas) on the map.

Looking at the Northern Rangerian delegate, Leonid began to speak. "We have already claimed Amazonas; my friend. I think we will have to negotiate its fate."

"And we both have to make compromises, I believe...", Duke Aalthone noted with a glint in his eyes. "I do remind you that Northern Rangeria did claim the coastal area (Para) first... We are willing to give it up to Neo-Ixania in return for Amazonas."

"And we both have to make compromises, I believe...", Duke Aalthone noted with a glint in his eyes. "I do remind you that Northern Rangeria did claim the coastal area (Para) first... We are willing to give it up to Neo-Ixania in return for Amazonas."

"Perhaps, Duke Aalthone, we may divide Amazonas into two parts; one for you and one for us. Would that be suitable for Northern Rangeria?"

"Perhaps, Duke Aalthone, we may divide Amazonas into two parts; one for you and one for us. Would that be suitable for Northern Rangeria?"

"Yes, that would be acceptable. Would you agree to a similar treatment to Para, to guarantee us both a viable route from the coast to our respective holdings? Perhaps along this great waterway that seems to have its delta in Para and flow through the Amazonas territory?"

"We can divide Para, sir; but Neo-Ixania wants to have access to the coast regardless of whether we divide Para between us or not; I am sure we can negotiate."

Quentin addressed the Kiravian Delegate. "We have no problems with your claims, however, we would like to discuss rights of passage and port access in some of your territories. A large portion of Kiravian Territory lies between our inland claims and our coastal province. We were hoping commerce could move freely between our territories."

"Aye. We shall certainly provide you the right of transport through our territories. And port access as well. Will you need to move military resources overland through the claimed areas as well? If so, that's certainly acceptable, as we understand the need for defence."

"We can divide Para, sir; but Neo-Ixania wants to have access to the coast regardless of whether we divide Para between us or not; I am sure we can negotiate."


"Naturally."

OOC: Computer being cranky, I'll make the division proposition map tomorrow.

OOC: Please excuse my lateness, as RL has been somewhat intrusive this week (the nerve!). Should we just assume that my delegates are already there, for the sake of allowing this to flow forward?

Certainly. Latislavia said that it was allowed.

If these maps are correct, I believe there is a major waterway going through our area and touching Mephrasian holdings...?"

Quentin listened to the offer. "We shall certainly entertain you offer, however, we were looking for more or less free access. Don't want our economy tied to the whims of another nation, you know?"

"Aye. We shall certainly provide you the right of transport through our territories. And port access as well. Will you need to move military resources overland through the claimed areas as well? If so, that's certainly acceptable, as we understand the need for defence."

"We thank you for the kind offer. We will keep troop transport to a minimum. We have no wished to militarize the South American continent. We only hope to protect our citizens from the dangers of the interior."

"We thank you for the kind offer. We will keep troop transport to a minimum. We have no wished to militarize the South American continent. We only hope to protect our citizens from the dangers of the interior."

"Of course. We do not have any plans for intercolonial war either. But, should it erupt, you may move anything short of a nuclear warhead through our territory. And even one of those, it it's neccessary. The Amerindians are quite dangerous as well though, when they become angry."

Sure, you are allowed to join, but you must review the claims made by each nation.
OOC: sorry guys, life's really kicking my ass right now :headbang:
IC: Rein Wilhelms stood up, and said "Very vell, we shall establish an intercolonial trade agreement, but only after the rest has been claimed. I must ask again to be sure if anyone has any problems with the Latislavik claims.
OOC: really would appreciate someone making a map of the claims again.

The Armed Republic of Greater Headhunters would like to claim this small piece of territory. If any nation objects, we are willing to make concessions and negotiate.

The dark gray is our claim.

OOC: I hope I get parts of Brazil with natural resources and close to the coast (though I do not mind some provinces that are landlocked; as long as they are connected to coastal provinces). Owning the province(s) that contain(s) the Amazon Rainforest would be nice.

If you get an amazon colony you wouldn't need coastal ones,the amazon has all the water you'll ever need and resources galore!

I want coastal ones so I can send resources from ports in those parts of Brazil to Neo-Ixania.
