Kaphristan had recently emerged from Isolation. Now it was time to mingle and mix with the world. Their Embassy Request had already been meet with one strong interest party of Neo-Ixania. This made Princess Saphresa very excited. She was the first Ruling Princess in the Country and she was going to do something even her father and big brother did not desire to do. She was ready. She droned a Veil, not typical of her unless she was visiting the Mosque but she felt it was needed for this. She usually did around brand new strangers it was just her way.

"Are they here?"

"They are pulling in now, Madam."

OOC: I am assuming that he had been brought to the Princess' palace.

Friedrich Strauss had been through much during his career; whether it was a bloody gunfight with a British bodyguard or having to secure the safety of his family during a civil conflict in Aissur. Since those days had passed, he rested at his home with his loving wife and children until he was called upon to visit Kaphristan; the first Muslim nation that he would ever visit. He had no problems with Muslims; they had usually been a small minority in Ixania that had equal rights with everyone else. Leaving his wife behind, Friedrich got aboard his plane before it set off to Kaphristan; taking a day or to arrive at the airport. He was greeted with the usual splendor of a diplomatic greeting and was confident of his abilities to make a friend out of the Princess. During the time it took for him to get to the Princess' palace, he thought about how he would speak to the Princess and thought about how she could be like.

When he arrived at the palace, he calmly entered and found the Princess after a brief period of searching. Briefly studying her, he bowed respectfully before focusing on her; noticing that she wore the veil. "Your Highness, I am Friedrich Strauss; a diplomat of the Ixanian Empire. It is a pleasure to meet you and to be here in your nation. Her Majesty, the Empress, wishes to welcome you and your nation to the international stage and expresses a desire to meet you when it is suitable for you."

"Thank you kind sir. Please take a seat. Is there any refreshment I can offer for you? I look forward to meeting your Empress soon."

"Thank you kind sir. Please take a seat. Is there any refreshment I can offer for you? I look forward to meeting your Empress soon."

Friedrich took his seat while replying. "The Empress will be glad to hear that you are interested in meeting her. As for refreshments, I'm interested in trying a drink commonly consumed by your nation's people. To start our meeting, I believe we should discuss an embassy exchange. There is a possibility that we can exchange students as part of an exchange program; but I'd need you to accept the offer before it is officially created."

"Then you shall have a cup of tea maid by our finest of herbs." She nodded to her aids to bring a pot for them. "I believe culturally we can very well benefit. Many students would like to know more about the world abroad. And I think our nations will be able to learn more about each other. Especially Muslims. Upon taking this position I feel it is going to be my responsibility to put the Peace back in Islam."

"A glass of tea would be acceptable and I would not mind having a cultural exchange created between us. Ixanians are tolerant of all religions and of those who do not believe in anything; any students from your nation would be given respect and the same treatment as everyone else. Ixanians are mostly Christian; Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox to be exact but I am sure that your nation would tolerate any Ixanian student regardless of religion. I must say that you seem like a goodhearted person; one whose spiritual thoughts are not tainted by revisionist tendencies. By the way, I should tell you that I tried to arrange a tour for my wife, Wilhelmina. She's wearing the veil since she does not want to seem ignorant of your nation's cultural traditions."

Friedrich smiled before he continued to speak. "If you ever want to see Ixania; you should contact Ivan Rucinsky, the Foreign Minister. He can arrange a visit for you and can tell the Empress about your visit. Now, what does your nation seek from Ixania?"

"Oh that is very thoughtful of her. But don't worry, wearing of the veil is not required by law. It's not even required by Islamic Law. Some chose to do it and some do not. We only truly require the veil while in the Mosque so that we may keep the men's focus on Allah. But again, that is very kind and thoughtful of her. That is only for modesty reasons. And we do our best to be very tolerant. Islam is our official religion of the State but we take great care to protect the other religions as well. Now as for what we can offer to you, well we do have a pretty good oil supply in the North. It took us years to find it because of the ice frost of the soil. We also have a tremendous amount of grains and some rice. We can also offer you timber.

What we would like from you, is automotive and information technology, and fresh fruits."

"Wilhelmina always tries to be courteous wherever she goes and often accompanies me on my diplomatic excursions because she loves to travel to foreign nations. She chose to wear the veil out of respect for your nation's culture. In Ixania, Christianity is the majority religion but we do not have a state religion. It is good to know that your nation shares the same ideal of religious tolerance like we do. Ixania would be interested in oil, grains, rice and so forth and we can offer you diamonds, silk, soda and other resources."

What we would like from you, is automotive and information technology, and fresh fruits."

"We can give you those; we have plenty of fresh fruits to spare along with the technologies you require. Is there anything else you wish to discuss?"

"Again, I thank you and your wife for being respectful. Will I be meeting her?

As for other services Civil Services and other Scientific services would be nice. Such as natural disaster relief we can both offer up for each other for when Allah choses to test us. And science, does Neo-Ixania have a Space Program?"

"Again, I thank you and your wife for being respectful. Will I be meeting her?

"I can have her brought here if you wish; she would love to meet you because she likes to meet foreign leaders whenever she can."

"Explain more about "Civil Services", please. As for a space program, Ixania does have one. Are you suggesting a space program partnership, Your Highness? I am sure that we can arrange a partnership that will be beneficial to both of us."

"I can have her brought here if you wish; she would love to meet you because she likes to meet foreign leaders whenever she can."



"Explain more about "Civil Services", please. As for a space program, Ixania does have one. Are you suggesting a space program partnership, Your Highness? I am sure that we can arrange a partnership that will be beneficial to both of us."

"Well I would love to meet her. She sounds like a wonderful woman, I may even request a private day for tea with her. As for Civil Services I mean sort of an exchange of ideas to make our societies better. Like I said Natural Disaster Relief is one aspect but I'm thinking of a partnership. Say you find new ways to purify water, well we would like to have that information. Say we desire to build hospitals, you can send equipment. And we can as well. Those sorts of ideas. And I think we could enter into a Space Exploration Partnership. The program may be a bit too expensive for us to go it alone, but I have been researching and have found so many great things have come from people's ventures into Outer Space. You know Muslims were the leading pioneers of Science."

"My wife would be glad to have a private day for tea with you; she would be honored and we can have her brought her if you want, though she is probably still on her tour. I do not see no reason why we cannot provide you with water purification or hospital equipment. We can also provide help for your space program if you need it and I do know that Muslims were active in science; I had to learn a lot in school about anyone who had achievements in science. Your Highness, is there anything else your nation requires?"

OOC: I will be going offline now; but I will try to be on later or whenever I can.

"You are a very intellectual man, I can tell. As of now I think we have worked out the bear necesities of our Negotiations. I'll get the Royal Education Bureau to start up with our Student Exchange Program. "

"You are a very intellectual man, I can tell. As of now I think we have worked out the bear necesities of our Negotiations. I'll get the Royal Education Bureau to start up with our Student Exchange Program. "

"Thank you for the compliment; I have had some intellectual pursuits. Is there anything that you wish to ask me? Shall we arrange a meeting with my wife for you?"

"Thank you for the compliment; I have had some intellectual pursuits. Is there anything that you wish to ask me? Shall we arrange a meeting with my wife for you?"

"I have no questions right now, so I think I shall excuse you. I look forward to meeting your wife."

"I have no questions right now, so I think I shall excuse you. I look forward to meeting your wife."

"Very well, Your Highness. Let this be the start of a strong and fruitful friendship between our nations."

After a while, a slender looking woman who was wearing a veil entered the room where Friedrich and the Princess were. She lifted up the veil to see her husband before she immediately bowed to the Princess respectfully. "Your Highness, my name is Wilhelmina Strauss; I must say it is a pleasure to meet you. I'm sure my husband told you about my fascination with meeting national leaders."

"It's my pleasure Wilhelmina. He has told me that you like to meet Leaders and I'm happy you chose to meet me. You may remove your veil if you desire."
