United Imperial Duchies of Danatha
Encryption: None, 100%
Honourable representatives, international leaders, and plenipotentiaries of the international community, I am Melissa Venn, and it is in my duty by law to represent the United Imperial Duchies. I would like to thank you on behalf of the Ministry of Diplomacy, for expressing your desire to begin diplomatic relations with the Duchies. We have issued this statement in order to invite your honourable nations to forge embassies between our nations.
As the appointed Minister of Diplomacy of Her Imperial Majesties Government, this letter's purpose to announce the official establishment and amalgamation of Her Imperial Majesty's Embassy Programme, directed by the Ministry of Diplomacy of Her Imperial Majesty's Government.
Danatha, officially the United Imperial Duchies, is a member state of the The Commonwealth of Crowns , with over 2.9 billion citizens. Danatha was founded in 1421 as a union of small, feudal lands. A united government was created by Grand Duke Matthew I of the House of Trabon. Danatha's economy, as ranked by the World Assembly, is Powerhouse, with a 2012 score of 96. The House of Trabon reigned for a 403 years during the period known as The Grand Duchy Age. The Trabons' reign ended after the scandalous abdication of Grand Duke Carter IV. The House of Rikon arose and reformed the government. The first monarch was Grand Duke Carus Rikon, and turned the government around. Many monarchs, some great and some terrible, reigned for the next 300 years. In 1982, Grand Duke Baro Rikon ruled during what is known The Grand Duchy Years. He led Danatha into a successful region and out of economic troubles. However, the Parliament of Danatha, (which was created by the Grand Duke) passed a governmental reform bill, and reformed the entire system into an Archduchy with more monarchical power. The Grand Duke disagreed, and abdicated leaving his throne to his son, Terence Rikon. Terence assumed the title of Archduke and has had the highest approval and satisfaction of all monarchs in Danatha. Tragically in 2012, Archduke Terence and Archduchess Emily passed away in a tragic plane accident. Their daughter, Annalise Rikon, assumed the throne with her husband, Crown Prince Phillipe of Wyethalania.
It is with this letter that the Ministry of Diplomacy, as approved by the Parliament of Danatha and appropriate orders by the Prime Minister and Her Imperial Majesty, that Her Majesty's Embassy Programme is hereby established.
Please reply via communqiue, filing the appropriate forms and documents, to begin the approval process.
Sincerely,
The Rt. Honorable Melissa Venn
Minister of Diplomacy
