Fly High in the Sky:....."All Aboard" !!

[GOLTZBORG]

How does your leader travel to other nations ?

Does he / she fly in a plane ?

If so, does he / she travel via commercial, chartered, or private / govt owned jet ?

OOC: Think of the difference between Air Force 1 of the USA, and other Real World leaders' travel.

[Savedland]

Air Force Alpha.

The Savedlish presibential aircraft.

[ArghNeedAName]

All MPs are allowed free rail travel to and from the capital. This is how they normally travel between Parliament and their districts. The President and Prime Minister normally travel in a car though, for security reasons. There is also a government-owned plane for international travel; the President decides who uses it. AirNeedAName also grants free travel to government officials going on diplomatic/business trips.

[Piratiga]

The ship of Edward Teach. The leader of Piratiga.

[The BranRiech]

our High General flys in a modified TU-95 bear bomber with a meeting room, and private bunks for a small number of diplomatic leaders. at any given time while in the air there are usually 5 or more MIG-21 escort planes

[Maraque]

The Royal Family of Darkaan owns an undisclosed number of private airplanes that they use.

[Revea]

There are three government owned planes for transporting important members of state between all the places they need to go. They are referred to as "Allado Prima", "Secunda", and "Tria", respectively.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

Whatever vehicles they may own, or commercial airplane.

[Waspeaters]

His majesty King Charles XVII prefers to travel in an air transport, with a Zopwith Pigeon fighter escort.

[Saurisisia]

Plane?! HA-HA! That's a good one!

No, the Triad doesn't, because planes are primitive relics of the past. Instead, they rely on spacecraft.


Like the Triad's Personal Shuttle, the Dinosaur


And the Triad's personal Star Destroyer, the Executive[/quote]

[Southern Patriots]

No, the Triad doesn't, because planes are primitive relics of the past. Instead, they rely on spacecraft.

Spacecraft?! Ha, that's an even better one.

You silly non-prescient being, spacecraft are so primitive our leaders simply use a guild navigators to fold space and time and instantly appear wherever desired.

[YellowApple]

The Administrator travels in the YAAV Agamemnon, a glorious vessel reaching nearly a kilometer in length. It serves as one of his multiple palaces.

EDIT: Image below:

[Fatatatutti]

Our government members don't travel overseas much. Former Prime Minister and current President Mickey Chang went on a trip to Noordeinde once (see signature) and current Prime Minister Harlan Escrow has been to Africa. "Diplomatic" missions (Fatatatutian diplomats tend to be rather undiplomatic) are usually undertaken by minor functionaries who don't mind travelling.

All government travel abroad is by military transport, usually C-130 Hercules (which might explain why they don't like to travel). The taxpayers do not pay for politicians to travel by commercial jet, much less private.

Because Fatatatutti is a big island, travel by Members of Parliament is necessary and therefore funded by the government. It too is usually by military transport.

This oldtimer was bought in 1992 from an african nation in need of money and then retrofitted for its current duty. It consumes less fuel than most jet-liners of the 90s and is able to reach the same speed and range easily. Also it is renowned for being the worlds safest passenger liner, and being able to start and land on rough ground. Nowadays it clearly is outdated, but the Supreme Soviet voted in favour of keeping it in 2009 and it was once again retrofitted and overhauled. Dubbed "Anarchia", the now almost 50 year old TU-114 gained much favour and recognition among the crews and passengers alike and has become a tradition in itself. As aircraft are a common transportation over the wide steppes of Vorond, the government also maintains a fleet of 6 other, smaller propeller-driven planes for interstate-transport, namely the Antonov An-24, but for diplomatic isits and the like "Anarchia" is still the method of choice.

[Great Kingston]

The Prime Minister flies in the Government's private jet.

The royal family fly in a variety of aircraft from the Royal Air Force's 259 Squadron (The Royal Squadron):

[Ruskarkand]

Our leader travels in an unarmed UD-6 Talon VTOL. on long range trips.


Otherwise on short trips, he uses his damn wings and flies there himself, without a vehicle.

[Purpelia]

Our leaders and in fact diplomats do not leave the country. If someone wants to talk to us they come to our feet and not the other way around.

[Dungeyland]

The Dangish President flies in RAF One - a custom built Airbus A380.

[Xanthal]

Xanthal's officials don't have personal spacecraft. When they travel, they typically do so on chartered Ministry of Transportation transports, though in wartime or in high-risk situations they may use military starships.

[Olympus Mountain]

King Apollo uses the military plane "Air Force Victory" for global travel, while for travel around the Kingdom he either uses a train, the military helicopter "Air Force Freedom" or his private car.
