Alright, just one question:

What is the opinion of the Yohannesian government and people of the Reformed Republican Union of Orlkjestad?

Its not really a Flemish-Germanic nation, Vlack. Its more of a mix between 1970s Rhodesia, 1980s South Africa, the second period of the British Empire, and that of (weird I know) Swedish economic model and German social market model mixed into one.

Vlack Sturm wrote:Anywho, question time.

Sure

Vlack Sturm wrote:what is the IC stance toward the Sturmian Federation?

In-Character wise, since the Sturmian Federation is located in the roleplaying region of Ellorea, His Majesty's Government consider the maintenance of diplomatic relation with the Sturmian Government to be important, though not as a first in-line priority, but nevertheless still, important.

Furthermore, due to the fact that Trivval is a dominion of the Yohannesian Crown Commonwealth Realms, and Tarler/St.George of England, is an important allied state to Yohannes, thus the maintenance of good relationship with Sturmia, suit in conjunction with Yohannes' historical and current geo-political presence in Ellorea.

MInroz wrote:What is the Yohannes' view of Minroz?

Well, In-Character wise, it would be the following:

The acknowledgement of Minroz as a sovereign nation, due to the fact that a Minrozian embassy has been established within the Yohannesian home island in Gholgoth. His Majesty's Government has furthermore established its embassy within the nation of Minroz.
VMK Aktiengesellschaft has informed His Majesty's Ministry of Defence upon the importance of maintaining a positive diplomatic relationship with the Minrozian Government, due to the fact that it was thanks to the Minrozian Government's previous significant amount of defence contracts and orders that many Yohannesian jobs were created and formed, thereby further boosting the healthy manufacturing and high-technology engineering industry within the Yohannesian Home Island.

OOC: I love this thread format so much I may need to pilfer it. With credit, of course.

IC: There are several questions:

What is the current Yohannesian position on the international involvement of the States-Federation of Snefaldia, as it pertains to trade and foreign policy?
What is the Yohannesion position on the Western Atlantic region as a whole pertaining economy, trade, and monetary policy?
What is the Yohannesian position on Western Atlantic nations in particular in the same spheres?
Does the Yohanessian government have a position on the World Assembly?
Is there any support for increased trade relations with the States-Federation of Snefaldia?

Thank you for your time.

Feel free to steal the format Snef. Also, question and answer session in this thread is OOC in nature, so no need to specify the OOC and IC tag.

Snefaldia wrote:What is the current Yohannesian position on the international involvement of the States-Federation of Snefaldia, as it pertains to trade and foreign policy?

Positive mainly. His Majesty's Government and the States-Federation Government of Snefaldia has never interacted with each other that much, thus with the limited knowledge which His Majesty's Government have towards the existence of Snefaldia as nation, nothing much can be gathered.

Of course, recently a trade agreement has been established. It signalled the increasing positive points which His Majesty's Government hold towards Snefaldia and her government. Plus, the Snefaldian Government is known by His Majesty's Ministry of Defence as a loyal client to both VMK AG and Yohannesische Bundesbank.

Snefaldia wrote:What is the Yohannesion position on the Western Atlantic region as a whole pertaining economy, trade, and monetary policy?

Largely neutral. His Majesty's Government has not discovered much about the Western Atlantic region yet (if this is a Europa Universalis III type of game; it would be terra-incognita), with the exception of course, of both Knootoss and Snefaldia, which His Majesty's Government hold in high regard and view positively.

Snefaldia wrote:Does the Yohanessian government have a position on the World Assembly?

His Majesty's Government and the Yohannesian Crown quit the World Assembly ever since the amalgamation of the nineteen countries throughout the late 18th century. The reason was due to the fact that His Majesty's Government held no wish to acknowledge the various binding legislations and effects which without a shadow of one's doubt would've accompany a membership within the aforesaid international organisation.

However, His Majesty's Government is as of the present a neutral observer of the World Assembly, due to the fact that various closely aligned states of Yohannes and positively viewed fellow nations, such as that of Karita (Scandavian States), Minoa and Knootoss being members of the aforesaid organisation.

Snefaldia wrote:Is there any support for increased trade relations with the States-Federation of Snefaldia?

At the present, His Majesty's Government hold a positive view towards such an initiative, although none has been recommended by King Aurel III yet.

What do government of Yohannes thinks of the Kingdom of Tedoka, and of Europeia in general?

Tedoka wrote:What do government of Yohannes thinks of the Kingdom of Tedoka, and of Europeia in general?

His Majesty's Goverment positively views the Kingdom of Tedoka and her government; both economically and diplomatically. As of the recent, economic advisors to the Court of King Aurel III discovered the potential which the economy of Tedoka have towards overseas foreign investors.

Furthermore, His Majesty's Office of Foreign Affairs & Trade is currently considering the implementation upon a proposal for the Yohannesian Crown to invest within the private sector of Tedoka. However, further research will still need to be completed, before such a proposal will be forwarded towards the government of Tedoka.

The ambassador of Yohannes in Tedoka furthermore keep an up-to-date monthly analysis of Tedoka.

[OOC: Some of these are horribly vain questions, sorry. Although I imagine that IC Radiatians would have a sort of envy/competitiveness towards Yohannes... sort of the way Germany viewed England before World War One.]

1. What is the current economic outlook for Yohannes, given the income divide and the fact that it appears to be* selling treasury bonds (and getting itself in debt) to finance public works?

*I could be wrong of course.

2. How do the Yohannesian people feel about the (admittedly rather piddly) investment that Radiatia has made in the country? Indeed, how do they feel about foreigners in general. (The people, not the government).

3. (OOC: Vain one) How does the Yohannesian Commonwealth view the Radiatian Federation, and does it think there will be closer ties in the future?

4. Does Yohannes have any intention of establishing an embassy in the Radiatian Federation?

That is fine. Sorry for not replying until now Radiatia.

1. What is the current economic outlook for Yohannes, given the income divide and the fact that it appears to be* selling treasury bonds (and getting itself in debt) to finance public works?

Yup, you're wrong. His Majesty's Government allows the selling of treasury bond not because it is lacking the fiscal capacity to finance and/or invest domestically. In fact, through various governmental-guided entities such as that of VMK AG, Royal Beaufort Shipwrights Guild and Yohannesische Bundesbank, the Yohannesian government invest considerably overseas throughout no less than one hundred nations (list can be seen by visiting the Yohannesische Bundesbank storefront).

The reason for the treasury bond's release was due to the fact that high-tech investment and high intensity R&D requirements domestically would've absorbed the available investment fund which will generate higher return by channeling it overseas, instead of injecting it domestically. There are tons of other background as well, though the other reason's due to the fact that I want to be one of the few players in NS that actually roleplay something negative about my economy (that of bond release to indicate one of my IC shortcoming), instead of roleplaying everything as rosy and perfection in a wonderland of no weakness.

2. How do the Yohannesian people feel about the (admittedly rather piddly) investment that Radiatia has made in the country? Indeed, how do they feel about foreigners in general. (The people, not the government).

Has Radiatia invest inside Yohannes..? I don't think you've posted in the Yohannesische Bundesbank or my Foreign & Trade Office in Fb&I regarding any IC offer of investment. I might be wrong, of course, because I am simply remembering it off-hand by memory.

Regarding the second point; think of the common Yohannesians as that of South Africans, but with ~70% European (though I don't IC-wise call it "European", because Europe does not exist in my world), instead of a black African majority. Generally, Yohannesians are not very conservative social-wise (not really ever since the end of an apartheid-like period on ~1970s) yet are not very socially liberal as well. Thus, Yohannesians in general don't view foreigners as inherently bad or good; depending within each circumstance, such as the social seat of the specific foreigner, wealth, culture, etc.

3. (OOC: Vain one) How does the Yohannesian Commonwealth view the Radiatian Federation, and does it think there will be closer ties in the future?

Perhaps

4. Does Yohannes have any intention of establishing an embassy in the Radiatian Federation?

Yes, I will establish a Yohannesian diplomatic mission in the form of an embassy in your programme soo

Yes we have.

Although I'd forgotten about these questions, looking back on them... yeah I got a lot of stuff wrong.

We bought a fair share of treasury bonds, and we SHOULD have an account somewhere in Yohannesiche Bundesbank (although I can't seem to locate it...)

Ahh.. of course! It has been recorded within the list of bond holders located in the main investment thread, so I guess it was utterly my fault for not even double-checking there (and instead went by memory). Also, I've located your post at the Yohannesische Bundesbank thread, by the way. So that as well

Greater Mackonia wrote:What is or what would be Yohannes opinion on the Mack species.

In-Character wise, His Majesty's Government has not yet heard any Yohannesian diplomatic and economic multilateral relationships with any known Mackonian-cultural based entities and/or nations.

I do not think that we've ever had any diplomatic relations with one another in the past... if I remember correctly. Have you established a consulate or embassy inside Yohannes, In-Character wise?

Um... I'm not sure, I don't think we have.
But, anyways! This is still a good factbook.

Yohannes, I have a question.

- Based on interactions or worldwide news, what is the Commonwealth's opinion on the Autocratic Establishment of Syleruias?

Posts · by **Yohannes** » Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:15 pm

Mostly positive.

I don't see any IC reasons as to why our relation will be hostile towards one another, though I am not sure myself; what is the culture of Syleru like..?

Very environmentally friendly, always seeking renewable energies to sustain, not exploit the Earth. The crime in Syleru is non-existent thanks to heavy funding to Law & Order. Citizens are very friendly toward one another and one could compare it to Matrix, except this is real, not a fantasy and my citizens are not caught in a landslide and can escape reality by travelling away to one of our other islands, each with it's own specific culture. Being an archipelago, citizens are often caught in a rivalry with other islands.

Overall it's very pleasant if you obey the plethora of laws, there is non-existent pollution and environmental is minimal as the technological progress made by our dedicated scientists allows us to find "greener" and "greener" ways of building and exploiting.

[Did you see any Queens references?]

by **United Earthlings** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 12:55 am

From your factbook, "The Commonwealth Navy, or more commonly referred to overseas as the Royal Commonwealth Navy".

Why I'm posting that and hence my question: Ignoring national pride and an earlier founding date I'd be interested on your take {confusion wise for other nations} on their being two Royal Commonwealth Navies, Mine & Yours.

Who gets dibs, what compromises must be met or does this mean war {over bragging/naming rights}?

One other thing, {see sarcasm enter}, I was also going to name an Aircraft Carrier design I was working on as the Commonwealth Class, so thanks for stealing that you selfish bastard, now I have to come up with another name. :roll:

Never Mind, just thought of another name, you better not steal that too or so be it... :evil:

P.S. For comparison here's my nation's Navy Registry and so you don't steal my other armed forces branches names here's the other three branches.

That is all...

I hope you do realise, UE, that the Commonwealth Navy is not the Navy of Yohannes, isn't it..?
