From His Most Esteemed Majesty the High Lord Ruler of Pwnanation, King Nexx, to the Many Nations of the World:

Greetings, people of the lands! I, the Great King Nexx, hereby declare the founding of Pwnanation and invite you to my official coronation, to take place on the Hill of Uber in one week's time. Delegates and citizens from all nations are welcome to attend (we have the best casinos this side of Hampshire!), and offer tribute and gifts for the Illustrious King. (You may also want to watch your back on the way in if you come by The Pass -- the 1337 Monster is feisty this time of year...). Please RSVP to the Court Pawn of Pwnanation.

Signed, His Illustrious Majesty, King Nexx

Adolf-Friedrich II, King of Livonia and Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, was bored. He was usually back in Rostock or Schwerin at this time of year, but had decided that wasn't appropriate this year. With column after column of troops marching through his realm to bases in Distrikt Jevi, Letgallen, and other bases along the eastern border in preperation for operations in Kansiov, he had though it wise to stay in the country as a demonstration of solidarity. He had gone to Reval to make a visit to the troops there, and that had been a good chance to do something.

Now that was over, and most people were settling in to the reality of the war, which was going to amount to any fighting actually inside Germany, it was thought. He had nowhere to go, and that left him practically a prisoner in Riga. Was there nothing happening in the world?

So he had been enthusiastic when he'd learned of an invitation to an unknown country with an exotic language and a grand ceremony to boot. He's immediately got in touch with the Kaiser and the Foreign Office.

And that was how he found himself staring out of the window as his personal aircraft circled over Pwnanation's principle international aiport, awaiting permission to land.

President Christine van Ooijsten's private dropship sped through the maze of undocking tunnels. Lights flashed over its angled surfaces, throwing off odd reflections.

Eventually, the singleship shot out of the RNS Friendship's docking bay. Immediately angling down towards the planet below, the pilot hit the jets, boosting in at three gravities.

After the re-entry burn, leaving a fiery trail across the sky, the singleship extended its landing gear and prepared to land at Pwnanation's airport.

The King was not pleased. Delegates from other lands were arriving this very moment to witness the power and glory of the Great High King and his land, and his Court Pawn had just informed him that the castle was not even finished.

"Not finished?!" the King raged. "Where am I supposed to hold the welcoming banquet for the newest arrivals?"

"My appologies, Sire," the Pawn cringed. "The contractors are working as fast as they can."

"Well tell them to work faster!" King Nexx huffed, making a mental note to dock the wages of contractors across the board.

"May I suggest, Great Sire, that you hold the welcoming banquet in the Minor Hall of the castle?" the Pawn said, timidly. "That entire wing is complete."

The Minor Hall, he mused. "And why was the Minor Hall completed before the Great Hall, might I ask?" The Pawn started to stammer something about finances and expediency, but the King cut him off. "Nevermind! See to it that it is prepared in our grandest style by tomorrow evening. And send a delegation to meet the arrivals, will you? Can't have them trapesing about my kingdom unwelcomed, or unescorted." He paused. "Well? Get going!"

"Yes my lord, right away," said the pawn, and he scurried away to put together an ambassadorial delegation and prepare lodging for the new arrivals. He supposed the nearby grand casino, Palacial Glory, would have to do in leiu of the castle's half-finished hotel wing. Oh well, at least there would be good entertainment.

I would be delighted to come to such an occasion

(OOC: No problem, Nos; I have no idea, either.

By the way, all, thanks for your interest; I'm new at NS. I'm only able to log in once or twice or day, so I hope you'll excuse the slower pace of things, as compared to some other threads I see moving along. I assure you I'm checking back as often as possible, though, and I'll be here at least once a day, barring unforeseen circumstances. :) )

The Lady Diamond, Daughter of King Nexx and recently Princess of Pwnanation, stepped daintily down from her elaborate steam-powered carriage. Her entourage, a half-dozen attendants and minor ambassadors, spilled out of similar, but less elaborate cars behind her.

The Princess was as bright and lovely as her namesake, both in form and character. No one knew the reason for the latter, though some suspected that before her death, her mother had somehow imparted some wisdom to her infant. Others fancied the Lady in communion with fairy creatures, or even that she contained blood from another world. The real reason was simple; the Lady Diamond had a kind heart, and even her father's harsh ideals could not change it. In truth, he had not really tried; his daughter was in a realm apart in his mind, and he loved her as well as his selfish heart loved anything.

She came now to the Pwnanation Interplanetary Airport as ambassador and guide to the many dignitaries who were arriving in honor of her father's coronation, an event only a few days away. It was her first official diplomatic assignment, and she was somewhat nervous. Nonetheless, she was excited at the prospect of meeting officials from other lands.

The Lady Diamond smoothed her long, flowing dress of pale pink and gold, straightened the diamond-studded combs in her elaborately styled golden hair, and entered the section of the airport reserved for guests of the government.

From the Office of the Shansekian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

To the Nation of Pwnanation, Great King Nexx:

We would love to attend your coronation. The arrival of a new nation to this world is quite a emotionally-powerful event (at least, for me). As such, Shansekia will be sending me, Hiroshi Yamauchi, to represent our nation. Thank you for your time.


Signed,
Minister Hiroshi Yamauchi of Foreign Affairs


Locking up his suitcase, Minister Hiroshi looked out his office window. Miles and miles of ruins laid next to gleaming new buildings that sparkled in the sunset. Hiroshi sighed-it had been quite a long week in Shansekia, with mandatory rebuilding crews finally relieved. As he walked out his office through his oak door, he simply hoped that the airport was running.

IC:"This is the Nosorian Emmisary Plane I Plussitau we are transporting Premier Ozzanil to your coronation ceremony"

OOC: Where'd everyone go? O.o Perhaps there was a miscommunication as to the purpose/overall direction of this thread? I will therefore skip ahead to the ceremony, assuming everyone who has responded has arrived. IC post to follow this weekend. Sorry for any confusion.

The day of the coronation ceremony had arrived. Although there had been some confusion as to the accommodation of the numerous distinguished guests who had arrived, everything had been sorted out and people were, for the most part, happy with the arrangements. The dignitaries had amused themselves at the Palacial Glory or with tours of the surrounding countryside, and King Nexx was hopeful that he had made at least a couple of new friends for Pwnanation on the global scene.

Banners of vibrant green and dusty brown, the Pwnanation national colors, waved atop the Hill of Uber, surrounding the white pagoda in which the ceremonial throne rested. All about the Hill and the surrounding valley, the king's soldiers stood at attention in their finest dress armor, gleaming copper and crimson in the morning sunlight. A lively band played down the slope from the pagoda, their music amplified by well-placed concave copper plates which did as good a job as any sound system. Hundreds of subjects of the King had turned up for the grand occasion (and the free food), and the sound of happy conversation and children playing filled the valley. The distinguished guests were seated in a tent separate from the commoners, at the immediate base of the Hill.

King Nexx arrived in an elaborately decorated steam tank, of the sort reserved for matters of state. His daughter, Princess Diamond, accompanied him as he stepped from the vehicle and took his place in the ceremonial throne atop the hill. She stood to his right, dressed in a costume of shocking blue which appeared constructed entirely of layers of fine gauze, yet revealed nothing. Atop a heavily quilted tunic and matching robe, the king wore a ceremonial robe of brown trimmed with brilliant green and woven with an intricate pattern of golden thread. As the king seated himself, the band ceased to play and a crier called for silence. The crowd quieted and the crier began to speak, amplified by the same projection plating which had carried the band music.

"Citizens of the great Holy Empire of Pwnanation!" he began, "Distinguished guests! Peoples of the world!" -- here he directed his gaze deliberately at one of the cameras poised around the Hill for international broadcast -- "Welcome to this historic event, the crowning of the new king of this new nation of Pwnanation!" Applause ensued, and the crier waited as it died. "Today you will witness the birth not only of a monarchy, but of a nation! Today, you will validate this nation's claim to independence! You will look back on this day as you tell your children and grandchildren that this, This is the day when our golden age began, when our prosperity began the upward arch which will know no bounds!" The crier continued in this way for several minutes, extolling the virtues of Pwnanation and painting a picture of its future which would outshine the sun in its glory. He spoke, of course, about the wisdom, cunning, compassion, physical prowess, intelligence, handsomeness, and dart-throwing skills of King Nexx, and took a moment to extol his daughter's virtues as well. Finally, he called forth for the Court Pawn to bring out the Crown of Kingliness, an elaborate piece of workmanship so encrusted with gems and interwoven with metal cords as to be garish by the fashion standards of most countries.

Two knights flanked the Pawn as he presented the crier with the gleaming crown. "Friends, allies, and citizens, be witness to the crowning of the Great King Nexx, first high ruler and lord of the Holy Empire of Pwnanation!" As he spoke, the crier lowered the crown onto the head of King Nexx, who then rose to accept the gratuitous applause which erupted at the conclusion of the crier's impassioned speech. He said nothing, however, but simply nodded to the citizens, the dignitaries, and the camera in turn and strode regally from the pagoda, his daughter and entourage following.

The celebration lasted well into the night, with jugglers, games, food and drink, dancers, and all manner of entertainment provided until most of the revelers had collapsed from happy exhaustion.

OOC: If anyone's still reading this, please feel free to add IC posts regarding your stay or your thoughts on the ceremony, anywhere along the short timeline of what's just occurred. I would also be interested to know what I could do differently in the future to hold interest, if anyone would be so kind.
