Yohannes, Northeast Gholgoth
While the Gothic civil war, Osthia-Incursus conflict and the subsequent spending of foreign exchange reserve had initially been a drain upon the finite financial resources of the island nation in northeastern Gholgoth, some prominent Yohannesians profited tremendously from its development. The most notable of these was Sir Frederick de Beer, one of the nineteen Board Directors of VMK, as well as Sir Ernest Rosario Hemmingway, another Board Director of Royal Beaufort. Hemmingway, who was in his late 30s when the Gothic civil war erupted, has been described by inner circles of the Empress as one of Yohannes "most influential and dodgy trade figures of the present day."
An Ardenfontein born and bred gentleman, Hemmingway was knighted by Her Imperial Majesty Garnet til Alexandros during his tenure as the Colonial Office First Spokesperson, upon which his legacy was the successful decolonisation of Yohannes' widespread colonies throughout Adrastos, Gholgoth, Greater Dienstad, Minyang, Lucerna, and countless other innumerable regions. Though some government circles further credited the man as the one who prevented worldwide conflict between the Empire of Yohannes and the General Social Republic of Questers, the right timing of Yohannes' then decolonisation declaration was in fact largely accredited to Empress Garnet's father, King Aurel III.
A "charismatic and dashing" third-generation descendant of the 2nd Earl of Christchurch, Hemmingway accumulated his considerable government connection and network as well as monetary fortunes through the gamble he took by claiming a substantial credit as one of Yohannes' "champion of social liberalism" through the man's involvement in the foundation of the Yohannesian Society Nightwatch; an organisation protecting the right of non-white immigrants throughout the nineteen countries. This, and his concocted claim as the first and foremost inventor of the decolonisation movement in Yohannes brought him the support of the substantial centre as well as slight-left political-centric percentage of the population.
Hemmingway was not untypical of a specific type of influential men throughout the then Crown Commonwealth of Yohannes, and its successor state the Empire of Yohannes, who was prepared to take enormous risk to achieve their ultimate goals and aspiration, or perhaps ambition. In turn, they established the atmosphere upon which they, and their cronies flourished financially in the years to come. It was only a matter of time before men such as Hemmingway acquired honorary board directorate seats to Yohannes' largest big four corporations, which as of today include the above mentioned two arms manufacturing and shipbuilding companies, as well as the fledgling Yohannesische Bundesbank and Yohannesische Börse.
"The torch of the Doomani has returned."
When the sentence reverberated, ever so menacingly, all around the main hallway of Her Imperial Majesty's Foreign Office in the capital city of Ardenfontein, men of Hemmingway's class were naturally inclined to seize the initiative and claim the potentiality of commercial riches such a breakthrough would achieve, tremendously. In all practicality, the liberal wussies may fear the outcome of such a collaboration; such an irreparable damage toward the cause of justice, liberty and liberalism which commercial and trade connection with one of the most oppressive regimes in the world will inevitably brought upon the Empire.
Not men such as Sir Hemmingway, of course.
What could be gained spectacularly - money and reputation - was enough to bargain for, and within twenty-four hours of the Doomani official declaration, men such as Sir Hemmingway flocked their wings in unison, arriving upon the Foreign Office's floor, symbolical with the low tide of passage upon the high seas itself. And it would be that within hours of such a happening; one particular letter was declared by Her Imperial Majesty's Foreign Office pertinent to the Doomani's declaration.
Northeast Gholgoth
Government of Doomingsland
Dear Sir/Madam,
Extraordinary representatives and honoured plenipotentiaries of the Doomani government, the Empire of Yohannes has noted the declaration of your represented government upon its intention to, once again, join the innumerable ranks of the international community. Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Julius Frej Shriver, and it is in my capacity as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Her Imperial Majesty Garnet til Alexandros to represent the Empire of Yohannes, therein.
Thereunto lies the reasoning behind why this letter has reached your desk. As you may well have known, the Empire of Yohannes has maintained its course of foreign neutrality for more than thrice a generation. It is upon such a platform of common understanding and peaceful approach that the Empire of Yohannes has constructed the sufficient foundation which her commerce and trade required for the enrichment of her economy.
As of the present, the Empire of Yohannes is, alongside the General Social Republic of Questers, Empire of Automagfreek, Protectorate of Lyras, Second Empire of Anemos Major, and Free Republic of Lamoni; one of the world's major exporters and participants in armaments trade, shipbuilding and commercial shipping as well as electronic goods. Yohannesian creditors-issued monetary fund is currently widespread overseas, accountable for the foreign direct investments in over four hundred nations.
In recognition of Doomingsland's long period of isolation, I would like to offer my sincere and most humble invitation to your represented government to join our ranks. Only through the establishment of such an interconnected network of trade that not just Doomingsland and Yohannes, but also that of others which we as a community, desirable or not, shall mutually catapult and drive toward the enlightening path of prosperity in commerce.
It is with the above future possibility that I would like to humbly request the establishment of a diplomatic mission; in the form of an embassy representing the Empire of Yohannes within the national and territorial sovereignty of your represented government. Furthermore, I would like to offer your represented government, which hold a rather distinguished record and institutional expertise in the field of land warfare, to assist the Empire of Yohannes in her quest to increase the institutional efficiency as well as framework of her land service branch; that of the Commonwealth Army.
I and my represented government await the official respondance of your represented government.
The Rt Hon. Julius Frej Shriver
Minister of Foreign Affairs
