2nd Annual Emperor's Own Gala[OOC/SIGNUP]

[New Decius]

IC

Greetings one and all! This, the 2nd Annual Gala to ever have been hosted by the House of Wilauhf, the ruling House of both Germany and Prussia, is finally come to be. The previous Emperor's Own gala, simply known as the Imperial Gala, was during the reign of Kaiser Siegfried Mannheim II, whose reign was a dark time for many a nation and the world itself. Following the victory of Prince-Marshal Wilhelm Augustus III and his more liberal German Confederation during the 2nd German Civil War, the gala was suspended due to the fact that its date was only five weeks after the end of the conflict and the fighting had not properly ended yet. Now though, His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Wilhelm Augustus III, German Emperor, King of Prussia, and Former President of the Germanic Confederation, intends to make up for lost time by making this so grand and exciting an event, with aid from his counterparts; His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Heinrich la Germania und Osterreich, Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Grand Duke of the Yugoslavian States, and Elder half-brother to His Majesty the Kaiser, along with His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Alexander III, Emperor of Russo-Germania, King of the Ukraine, and King in Finland. Entertainers from all around are being brought in for the amusement of the guests and it is hoped such an atmosphere with create a time of peaceful interaction and growth of friendly relations between nations and world leaders.

Venue for the Emperor's Own Gala

The Emperor's Own gala shall take place inside the manor and upon the estate of His Grace, Graf Manfred von Richtofen II, Generalleutnant of the Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial Flying Corp/German Air force), and a Count amongst the German aristocracy. The estate lies several miles outside the city of Rostock inside the boundaries of the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany's largest state. It is built upon the shores of the Baltic Sea, with the back-porch hanging over the Baltic and allowing a perfect horizon view to the open sea and full access to fresh sea air. It is easy to see the edges of the Kingdom of Sweden in the distance. The Count maintains his own private security company of former Luftwaffe Assault Troop members who've chosen to serve him in their terms as veterans, and as added assurance, as Rostock is the home base for several fleets of the Kaiserliche Marine, an Independent Naval Security Brigade is present in the city along with the local garrison. Travel time for the vehicles of either would be ten minutes, though air vehicles can arrive in five. Within fifteen minutes, five hundred well-trained, well-armed security forces can be on site to secure and evacuate the guests.

It should be noted that the Count is allowing these guests into his home on the agreement that his families ancient manor shall be undamaged when the event concludes, and the German government has given him assurance that any purposeful insult or harm to either his family or property will result in immediate expulsion from within German borders and a later discussion period regarding said perpetrators actions with the visiting government. His Grace will be in attendance and should be considered the host as opposed to His Imperial Majesty whom shall also be in attendance. The reason for such reverence is the Count's twenty year service in the Luftwaffe wherein he spent ten years as Germany's greatest ever fighter ace of the modern age, though not surpassing Erich Hartmann, with an amazing 297 aerial victories and 26 different commands held, as well as his amazing public service record and charitable donations.

Numerous members of German and other European aristocracies shall be present.

[Dahon]

Nation Name: The Queendom of Dahon

National Leader: Kanamekami Kaname Sumire, Yakumokami Kojima Izumi, Suzumikami Watanabe Kiako

Government Type: absolute triumvirate (theoretically)

Attendee at the Gala: Her Highness the Yakumokami Kojima Izumi of the Queendom of Dahon, 45th Keeper of the Purple Throne. (Please introduce her this way -- she takes protocol very seriously.)

Guests accompanying Attendee (Maximum Seven): Kojima Hiroto (46, husband); Kojima Makata (43, Izumi's brother, itinerant travel-writer); Jade Sengall (34, Makata's attendant, amanuensis, and companion); Kojima Kinojo (13, Izumi's elder daughter, assistant to the viceroy of the Asunaro Special Administrative Territories [ASAT]); Kojima Kumiko (10, Izumi's younger daughter); Haniwa Noriko (19, painter, Kinojo's friend)

Security Detail: Given the importance to Dahon's well-being of those attending the gala, the Yakumokami has taken the liberty of appointing 10 appropriately-armed security personnel to accompany them to the gala.

Any Other Significant information: The whole delegation will arrive by Makata-san's newly bought pleasure yacht -- all he desires is that his yacht will be taken care of for the duration of the gala -- and that food made from milk or soy be kept away from him as he's extremely allergic to those -- and that he and his companion be allowed to travel around the German realms for his latest travel book (hopefully that request be forwarded to the Kaiser himself, to be granted at the gala's conclusion)...

Will you be bringing along any entertainers of your own national culture to help educate others on the culture of your homeland: The Yakumokami, her husband, and her eldest daughter have delegated to themselves the opportunity of educating to outsiders the virtues of Dahoni culture. Should you desire a more sentimental education (or at least a less boring one), Makata-san (who will not hesitate selling his books for the betterment of his poc-- we mean, for the good of the queendom) and Haniwa-san (complete with pencil, coal, bread crumbs, drawing paper, and ill-concealed excitement) are available -- and more importantly, eager to be available.

Does your Attendee swear to respect the laws of our nation whilst within our borders: The Yakumokami is protocol incarnate.



I wanted to do this kind of thing next year. (In my defense -- I was tempted. Now, as to whether as I sustain this sort of commitment right now --)
