Crownprince requires a bride.

[The Imperial Combine]

News from the Imperial Combine;

Emperor Colerich Krieg, founder of the Krieg Empire, as well as Co-Founder of the Imperial Combine will be ascending to the position of Grand Emperor of the Imperial Combine.

This position will act as a defacto Head of State/Representative to the Galactic community on behalf of all nations within the Combine.

Emperor Colerich von Hagar-Krieg;
Grand Emperor of the Imperial Combine, Former Emperor to the Krieg Empire, Founder of the Republic of Krieg, King of the Habsburg Dynasty.

However, this leaves a delima. The Krieg Empire, the Nation that Emperor Krieg was ruler of, now has no official Emperor. Therefore, the Crownprince, or Eldest son, shall become the new Emperor of Krieg.

This would all be fine and dandy, if not for the fact that inorder to be crowned Emperor, per House Habsburg-Hagar-Krieg traditions, the Crownprince must choose a bride.

Any and all nations willing to offer their brides to the Crownprince of the Empire, please do so. Please do note that by marring the Crownprince, certain obligations will issue any nation that does so. Mainly, addition into the Alliance, Inorder to consolidate the power between both nations. However the Alliance offers so many benefits to outside nations that not joining would be foolish enough.

Now, we present, Crownprince Heinrich von Hagar-Krieg;
Emperor Elect of the Imperial Combine, Crownprince of the Helghast Krieg Empire, Prince of the Habsburg Dynasty;

-

History of the Imperial bloodline and the Empire:

The Crownprince is the eldest son of Emperor Krieg, who is the descendant of the Habsburg Royal family, the family that ruled Germany (Through the Hohenzollerns) and Austria (Habsburgs) for many years.

Decades ago, Colerich Krieg lead a revolution on Earth, to unite Central Europe under one flag, and he successfully established The Republic of Krieg, a nation composing of Austria, Germany, Northern Italy, and former Yugoslavian states. He was then made Chancellor of the Republic, and honorary King, per his relation to the Habsburg royal family.

After the unification of the Republic, Chancellor Krieg set out to conquer space. Within 15 years, the Republic had begun the colonization of Helghan, a barren wasteland in the outreaches of the Solar system; however it held many resources..

Following the Colonization of Helghan, thousands of native Germans and Austrians within the Republic, opted to move to the planet to seek jobs and new housing. Pyrrhus was founded as the Capital of Helghan, and was officially formed as The Republic of Helghan.

The Founding of the New Republic granted Colerich the opportunity to consolidate the two Republics into one, glorious Empire. The Following week after the founding of the Helghast Republic, Colerich Krieg was crowned Emperor of the newly founded Helghast Krieg Empire. He was the first member of the Habsburg bloodline to hold such power since the dissolution of the Austrian Empire, and the stepping down of Charles I.

The Emperor settled down with his family, and began his career as Emperor of the Helghast Krieg Empire, as Head of State. As Emperor, he adhered to the traditions set forth by himself, and maintained the Republican style of Government, with each Republic electing its leaders and Autarchs (Presidents/Chancellors of each Republic.)

He remained in power through the liberation of Vekta, which was declared an official Republic of the Empire. Soon after, The Helghast Republic, as well as Vekta opted for Independence, and was peacefully granted so, leaving The Krieg Repulic to form the new Krieg Empire.

Now he has risen to the Leader of the Imperial Combine, and leaves the Habsburg-Lorraine-Hagar-Krieg Throne to his son, as well as the Empire he forged.

OOC: Where did you get that picture from? The one with the crown prince?

OOC: Dont know, a realllllll long time ago when I was randomly googling images. I have been thinking about changing it, basically because I want to move away from basing my nation around Killzone/Helghast, because although I think they are fucking badass, My Government system and the way I want to RP doesnt really fit the Helghast Ideals and Story; Hence, in this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18400

I split Helghan and Krieg into 2 different Nations so I can RP each one as I please, Krieg as the nation I made up (With some WH40K Elements, but for the most part made up by me) and RP Helghan as the crazed, back world Dictatorship, the only thing tieing the two nations now is their membership in the Combine.

Official Communique

The Nation of Niihama would consider offering their Princess, Ayako Takayama, however Emperor Takayama has voiced concern that Princess Ayako may be too young to marry your prince, however we are willing to commence Discussions to work something out. I am open to hearing about your Crown Prince.

-Her Imperial Majesty, Yukiko Takayama

Attachment Is as Follows-

Name: Her Royal Highness Ayako Takayama, youngest daughter of Yukiko and Noboyuki Takayama.

Age: 15

Brief History:
Ayako Takayama is the youngest of two daughters of the royal House Takayama, the current ruling party of the Empire of Niihama. She was born into a fairly sheltered childhood, receiving private education in reading, writing, arithmetic, and Cybernetic Engineering. She is a very intelligent woman, but also taught in the way of Ninjutsu, and Akido, she is a very capable fighter. When Ayako was nine she did a brief tour with the GSDF to gain practical fighting knowledge. Looks can be very decieving, though she dresses for modern Taiyou fashions, she is somewhat shy.

Image is as follows:

OOC: We have a nobility, the Great Houses, in charge of the districts of Daemonicai and her colonies. Very powerful people, these are. The leading family is House Daemonicai (of which the country is named after), headed by the Patriarch-Duke, High Chancellor Charles Daemonicai.

Lady Ursula Aerorik is interested in meeting the crown prince.



She is the only daughter of Duke and Duchess Aerorik of House Aerorik. She is intelligent (as all nobles are extremely well educated by their Houses, and they have geneticly enhanced traits) and notable for being 'sweet'. Apparently, really good with children and adores babies. She likes skiing and cookery. She is 24 years old but is known to have a liking of older and gruffer men.

Hmm, usually European powers only marry other European powers, however we are open to hear more about your nation.

Crownprince Heinrich Krieg is 35 Years old, however, years of Military conquest to unite the Greater German Reich into the Krieg Empire with his Father have left him looking older.

He is an esteemed Military Commander just like his father. He is also a very Benevolent and Fair ruler, however he is not afraid to be Iron Fisted and exert order when needed.

He is also not one to sit around when the action is happening. Even though he is Kronprinz of the Reich, he is usually always seen on the front lines of the latest Krieg advance. He is a veteran of the Death Korps of Krieg, the most feared fighting force within the Empire, as well as a Veteran of the Steel legion shock troopers, the highly mechanized, blitz tacticed unit that was responsible for massive advances in a matter of days in the War to unite the Krieg Empire.

Here he is seen in the Bavarian Alps with the 567th Imperial Regiment, one of his favorite units to command.

The Crownprince shows interest in meeting with the Princess as well.

The Grand Emperor, the father of Prince Heinrich, has decided that he meet with every eligible applicant he deems fit. (New thread.)

He has arranged for the Prince to meet both the Princess of Daemonicai and Niihama. All other applicants will still be accepted, however they must wait until the first two royal dinners are completed.

OOC: When I get back, Ill start a new thread for each royal dinner.

OOC: Well, she is 15. In Eastern traditions, it might be fine to marry her off at that age, but in Europe, Queens and Empresses dont get married off that early. Perhaps change her age

The Grand Duke's nearest consul responds thusly:

As the Grand Duchy is a country in the area of the Adriatic Sea, it would be quite fitting for one of our daughters to be chosen for this union. We have two women who might be fitting.

Lady Diana, nearing her 25th birthday, was adopted by one of our fine dukes after her father, a senator, and her mother, a prominent player in the automobile workers union, were killed in a tragic plane crash. She has a degree in English Literature and is an Orthodox Christian.



And the daughter of the Duke of Zargusa, of whom little is known, for her family has kept her obscured from the public eye. The most recent photograph believed to be of her was caught by a tabloid photographer and is below. It is believed she is in her mid-twenties, and her family is likewise Orthodox Christian.

[The Krieg Empire]

The Crownprince is rather marveled at the beauty of Lady Diana, one of 3 grand choices for Empress.

Grand Emperor Colerich Krieg however, was more less marveled at the location of Lady Diana's home land of the Grand Duchy, As It was lieing right on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The Krieg Empire had holdings in Northern Italy and in some former Yugoslavic states, and he saw this as an opportunity to unite the Grand Duchy in the Empire, further strengthening its power in Europe.

Since the Krieg Empire was a Constitutional Imperial Republic, the position of Emperor was not Monarchic, in essence that although the Emperors were usually related, they were not hereditarily appointed, they had to be approved by the Legislative and the Autarch (President) of the nation, and even then thir power of Emperor as Head of State were limited by the Constitution (Non-Absolute Monarchy/Autocracy). For this reason, Emperor Krieg had to make certain that the Legislative and ultimately the people would approve of his son's succession as Emperor.. And expanding Influence and borders was a sure way to win over the people's approval.

The Grand Emperor replied:

"Your offer of the fine, outstanding lady of The Grand Duchy of Whiskey Hill is a very generous one, as well as the other 2 outstanding women offered to my son, I wish to inquire your nations exact location, ethnic make up, its governmental stance, and your stance on our nation. We appreciate your response."

Meanwhile, Kronprinz Heinrich was preparing for his Dinner with Lady Ursula Aerorik, followed by Ayako Takayama, and then Lady Diana. He was not the most romantic type, however he was an outstanding Gentleman, a very German/Austrian characteristic. He was not one to simply choose a wife out of power or gain, but to settle down with someone he could get along with and enjoy as a partner. With his Royal Dress Uniform on, he set out to the Palace Dinning hall, and awaited the arrival of Lady Ursula Aerorik.

OOC: Applications still accepted. Daemonicai: This thread:

Office of the Prime Minister of the Taiyou Empire of Greater Niihama

Concerning Ayako Takayama

To: Krieg Empire

From: Prime Minister Kayabuki of the Taiyou Empire

Due to recent events it seems that the Emperor has decided not to marry Princess Takayama to the Krieg Empire, however he has offered someone a bit older, though she is not of royal blood, a very capable fighter and gifted with unusual telekinetic abilities. We are willing to offer your Prince, Yuriko Matsui as a potential wife.

In response to your request, I will provide a short bit of information.

Niihama originates as an offshoot of the Japanese people, the government currently holds control over the Japanese islands, the Philippines, and the eastern coast of Russia and China, we are, a restored Japanese Empire. The Ethnicity of our people is entirely of Japanese descent, as customs frequently turns foreigners away. Since world war IV we have been a thriving nation, and we fiercely protect the interests of our people.

Our form of government is an absolute monarchy, however the Prime Minister usually has administrative oversight of the Empire and the people, the Prime Minister answers only to the Royal Family, and carries out orders given from the family, below the Prime Minister is the various offices, Justice, Sciences, Military, each headed by a Director, whom answers to me. Each office has direct oversight over what they are tasked to oversee, things in Niihama get done very quickly this way.

Our current government stance on your nation is neutral-warm.

If you wish to know more you will need to ask for specifics. And I will gladly provide them.

The Geographic location of Niihama is of course the far east

Age: 18

Rank: None/Superweapon

Background information: Classified, but what we can tell you is she grew up in a small village, renowned for her unique psionic abilities she was kidnapped and experimented on, then put through rigorous military training, she would most likely suit your Prince well, as she is a very capable fighter, a brilliant strategist, and would share his love for combat, We look forward to hearing from you. If you are willing to accept our offer of our prized Soldier, Yuriko.

The Grand Duke's Foreign Minister responds thusly:

The Duke of Zatar, the father of Lady Diana, has received notice from the Foreign Ministry of this exchange, has in turn notified his daughter, and has consented to the Foreign Ministry negotiating this affair. Word is that she is intrigued.

I wish to inquire your nations exact location, ethnic make up, its governmental stance, and your stance on our nation. We appreciate your response.

The Grand Duke believes it is in our nation's interest to forge a close relationship with the Empire, for reasons of geography and tradition. Our nation lies on the Dalmatian Coast, and has been a fortress against total Slavic control of the coast since it's oldest living city, Zatar, was originally founded as an outpost of Venice. Undergoing a revolution, and then joining the Holy Roman Empire and being a member of its descendant entities, there was later much bloody conflict with the Turks, and were several brief Turkish occupations, but the Grand Duchy has generally stood solidly against both Slavic and Turkish western expansion. Therefore we find strengthening relations with the Empire quite appropriate.

Our nation is very ethnically diverse, with the largest group being descended from the original Italian colonists, occasionally boosted by recruiting poor settlers from Southern Italy. Italian is the language most spoken today. Catholics, largely Italians and Croats, are roughly 40% of the population. Three of the duchies of the Grand Duchy are largely ethnically Italian and ruled by Italian-descended dukes.

Our next largest group are Greeks, who settled here in the early years. Approximately a quarter of the population speaks Greek as its first language. Orthodox Christians, including many Greeks, Serbians, and those of other ethnic groups from the area, have near population equity with Catholics. Two of the duchies of the Grand Duchy are largely Greek and are ruled by Greek-descended dukes.

Roughly 15% of the population are Semitic, mostly being ethnically Lebanese, Egyptian, or Jewish. Arab dialects are spoken by roughly 10% of our citizens, and as our Jews are nearly all dual citizens of Israel, most of our Jews speak Modern Hebrew and either Greek or Italian. Many of the Arabs are Christians, but most are Muslims. Most of these peoples came during the 20th Century.

Roughly 15% of the population are of the ethnic groups of the region known as Iugoslavia, mostly Croats and Bosnians, but significant numbers of Serbs, and some Montenegrins and Macedonians. The sixth duchy is ruled by a duke who is Croatian.

The remaining population are composed mostly of immigrants from our short-lived colony in South India, are rather dark skinned, and speak languages such as Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada. Most are Hindu. They live mainly in the capitol city and the twin cities of Zatar and Zargusa. There is a small Roma population in the capitol city, who mainly live in their own neighborhood. Finally, there is recently a growing black African population as a result of immigration, but it is rather small.

There are very few ethnic Turks or Albanians in the Grand Duchy, or at least who still identify as such, after unfortunate policies in the 1920s drove most to emigration. Programs have been recently instituted to try to improve the opinion of Turks and Albanians towards our nation.

The Grand Duchy is a federation of six duchies. It's current form of government (though it has long been a Grand Duchy), largely originates from two sources. The Duke G. Alé (1754-1809) was a strong influence on the two grand dukes who ruled in his adult life, and he was himself strongly influenced by his study of Jean Jacques Rousseau. His son, Silvio Alé II, was later grand duke, Alés have been the grand duke six times since his death, and carried his influence further. The Alés have since been considered the fathers of Whiskey Hill. They inspired the strong nationalism and sense of community that our citizens share, despite their diversity. They founded the common civil religion, which embraces and adds to all of our citizens' particular religions. They rewrote the constitution several times to protect the people from the decadence of liberalism, rapacious communists, and predatory oligarchs. A strong state, led by the Grand Duke, the Dukes, and the Maiors, broadly directs the domestic economy and trade, guarantees the economic infrastructure, provides full education to the people, and administers the civil religion. The citizens also have an elected Senate and Tribunes who share certain decision-making powers with the Grand Duke, advise him, and protect their rights.

These institutions underwent significant reforms during the British occupations of the First and Second World Wars. Keynesian economics and stronger democratic institutions were introduced, and have remained, among other things. English is a common second or third language in the Grand Duchy. The name "Whiskey Hill" itself is a modern invention by those occupying soldiers, an Anglicized corruption of a name in a local tongue.

The Grand Duke of Whiskey Hill has little interest in meddling in foreign affairs, and was reluctant to even join the World Assembly. When he steps onto the world stage, he does so only in the interest of protecting our citizens and form of government. Therefore, the Grand Duke has little opinion of your state, other than that for reasons of geography and tradition, some sort of relationship would be beneficial between our peoples.

If the Grand Emperor needs any more information, the Foreign Ministry is happy to provide it promptly.

Reply: We respectfully decline, as it would seem more in our favor to intermarry with a local European power, rather then an Eastern power.

"We rather agreed and enjoyed all statements besides this one. We don't know how a country, even an isolationist one, can survive without having a Foreign Affairs agenda. Granted, the WA is a beurocratic mess that never gets anything done (remind you of a real organization ) we still have to maintain an international foothold, to at least remain neutral.. Not to mention we are part of the Imperial Combine, as well as part of the Central Alliance with the Russian Czardom, so we could care less who hates us.."
