We look forward to meeting Ambassador Lozano and her family, and we hope they will enjoy their stay in our country.

BY THE GRACE OF HER IMPERIAL MAJESTY SILVIER CATHERINA SILVANUS, FOURTH OF HER NAME, CAESAR OF THE IMPERIUM ANTIQUUM KYLARNATIAE AND HER PEOPLE, SUPREME COMMANDER OF ALL HER IMPERIAL ARMED FORCES, PONTIFEX MAXIMUS OF THE SILVIER SACERDOTIUM, LORD OF GHOLGOTH, AD INFINITUM:

In accordance with my Caesar's wishes, as laid out in the Foreign and Imperial Affairs Edict (2018), I am writing to you today to inform you that the Department for Foreign and Imperial Affairs has identified the Empire of New Edom as a nation of great diplomatic potential to the Imperium Antiquum. Indeed, my Caesar and I believe there is much to be gained for our two great nations through official ties, and as diplomatic partners we would be able to achieve the Caesar's goal of creating a more peaceful and stable world.

To that end, I am honoured to submit to you the Imperium Antiquum's official request for the establishment of an Embassy to the Empire of New Edom. The Department for Foreign and Imperial Affairs has vetted potential candidates for the post of Ambassador to the Empire of New Edom and has settled on Ms. Lucilia Crassa, a very talented young woman who we feel embodies the same potential as a relationship between our two states. I hope you find this, as well as all other enclosed information, to your satisfaction.

Please also take this communication as an official request for you to consider establishing an Embassy in the Imperium Antiquum, which you can do so here.

If you need anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Ambassador's Name: Ms. Lucilia Crassa

Ambassador Bio: Ms. Crassa is the second daughter of Sen. Potitus Crassa, a senior and well-respected member of the Imperial Senate, and Mrs. Accia Crassa, a prominent socialite and philanthropist in their home meglapolis of Heliopolis. Since a young age, Lucilia has always wanted to see the outside world, and as such has always worked in the pursuit of that goal. Having graduated from Caesar's University with a first-class in Sociology with a minor in International Development, Ms. Crassa then went on to serve her two years compulsory service with the Caesar's Imperial Air Force, before then becoming a specialised Military Auxiliatrix (Common: Attaché) for the Department of Foreign and Imperial Affairs, taking a posting the the Imperium's Embassy in Aldarminia before officially being accepted as a suitable candidate for an Ambassadorial role.

WA Economic Category: Frightening
Alliances and International Organizations: The Imperium Antiquum is a member-state of the Gothic Regional Alliance.
Current Conflicts: The Imperium Antiquum is currently not engaged in any conflicts.
Religion: The major faith of the Imperium Antiquum is the Silvier Sacerdotium. It's a religion that rejects the worship of gods and deities and instead practices a veneration of the dead, divine spirits and recognised forces of universal nature, usually embodied in the form of 'angels' known as Seraphim, the most universally worshipped being the Grand Mother: the angel Silvier who led mankind in the mythological war against the corrupt Old Gods and who then became one with the primordial forces that had created the universe, becoming the Aspect of Balance. When she ascended beyond existence and became one with all things, the angels swore to stay out of the affairs of mankind, promising to care for the dead and that they would return in the End Days. When a follower prays to the angels or the Grand Mother, they do not ask for direct intervention, but for inspiration and hope that they can follow in their example as set forth in the holy scriptures, the Libro Divinatio (Common: Book of Divinations) and the Libro Testamentum (Common: Book of Testaments).

WA Civil Rights Category: Superb
WA Political Freedoms Category: Good
WA Economic Category: Frightening
Alliances and International Organizations: SEA (The Strategic and Economic Alliance)
Current Conflicts: None at this particular moment
Religion: The predominant religion is the Caellian Faith, or Faith of Cael. A monotheistic belief system based around the universal worship of a single deity (regardless of what name or form other faiths choose to ascribe to Him) and the following of "The 9 virtues" positive qualities believed to be part of a universal and innate sense of morality known at some basic level by all mankind. which if followed will ensure lives their life as a positive influence on the world and their fellow man, and is therefore the one and only key to meeting Cael in the afterlife. Despite the believed universality of these virtues, the Caellian Faith offers further detail on the meaning of these virtues in The Holy Book of Light, often referred to as "The Sacred Texts" There are many smaller denominations of this faith, ranging from the highly structured and hierarchical, to the loose and fundamental. It is a faith known for the open-mindedness, tolerance, and humility emphasized in it's core teachings, though whether those teachings are reflected in the actual practices of the faithful is another matter. Cael is believed to be, as far as the capabilities of mortal comprehension is concerned, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. But who seldom intervenes directly with the mortal world.

[TURTLESHROOM II]

GREAT BOUNTIFUL EMPIRE OF THE UNITED TURTLES, MUSHROOMS, AND MEN OF TURTLESHROOM
OLD EXECUTIVE CABINET OF THE FIRST TURTLESHROOMIAN STATE
OLD MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
TURTLESHROOMIAN STATE DIPLOMATIC CORPS
PROVISIONAL DEAN

We are honored to extend formal diplomatic ties to our New Edomite allies and friends. We submit our application for our Ambassador to your magnificent country in hope of speedy processing.

General Information
Name of Country: Great Bountiful Empire of the United Turtles, Mushrooms, and Men of TurtleShroom
Head of State: INTERREGNUM
Head of Government (if applicable): Judgemaster Zodak Law (INTERIM)
Ambassador's Name: Professor Micah Canchaseeit Yonder II
Ambassador's Family: Like all mushrooms, the concept of "father" and "mother" do not exist in their life due to asexual production. Professor Yonder II took his name from his mentor and best friend, who got him into nuclear science in the first place.
Ambassador Biography:

Then came the scientist. He was a white mushroom with a thick pair of black glasses. Inexplicably, he was wearing a black labcoat (like the picture but black), and a patch sewn onto it bore the same emblem as his car. On the mushroom's head was a pickelhaube helmet with the universal "radioactive symbol"...

^ That was a post that is over eight years old. I was not as good of a writer as a I am now, but I'm linking to this for a quick description. Also, the Atomic Forces do not wear pickelhaubes. The servants of the defunct Weapons Division of the Ministry of "Nookular" Affairs, however, did.

Professor Yonder II is a sentient mushroom who served, before its restructuring, in the defunct Weapons Division of the Ministry of "Nookular[sic]" Affairs, an Executive Cabinet branch, staffed by soldiers and martial administrators, that oversaw the Atomic Forces of TurtleShroom. The Executive Cabinet branch was dissolved after a Constitutional challenge struck it down as a breach of the military's autonomy. The Atomic Forces, then and now, are a fully recognized, independent branch of the TurtleShroomian military.

Due to his office as a nuclear scientist and service in WMD's, he wears a black labcoat. Professor Micah was in charge of a major uranium enrichment center and factory in the rainforests and was called on after TurtleShroom split the atom in 2010 AD when all of the projects with silly names encompassing Project "Mushroom's Mushroom" were finished.

After the dissolution of the Ministry of "Nookular[sic]" Affairs and the transfer of the uranium centers to the military, he returned to teaching nuclear science, until he was asked by Judgemaster Law- the acting ruler of TurtleShroom during its restructuring after the Civil War -to serve as an Ambassador to the deeply trusted ally of New Edom.

Paul Pole was the first candidate selected to represent TurtleShroom, but he voluntarily committed himself to a mental institution after being released from yet another prison sentence for alcohol crimes late last year. He fell into full alcoholism due to his unrelenting shame and guilt derived from when he smart-mouthed Colleen Fish's homeland at that restaurant and got smacked. He never really was the same after that night and blames no one but himself.

Nation Facts
WA Political Description: FREE MARKET PARADISE* / CORPORATE BORDELLO* / RIGHT-WING UTOPIA*
WA Civil Rights Category: FEW*
WA Political Freedoms Category: WORLD BENCHMARK
WA Economic Category: FRIGHTENING
Alliances and International Organizations: TurtleShroom was formerly a member of the Steele Pact, but it dissolved with the collapse of the Greater Imperial Japanese Dystopia
Current Conflicts: The TurtleShroomian Civil War concluded in October 2018 AD, with over a million dead and a dissolution of the first TurtleShroomian state.
Religion: The dominant religion of TurtleShroom is Christianity. Its primary denomination is Southern Baptist Christianity, followed by Russian Old Believer Orthodox Christianity and TurtleShroomer Rite Catholic Christianity. Outside of Christianity is the Taiping Church, in third, and the pagan Grand Mystic Royal Order of the Southern Yue Shrine, placing fourth. Tens upon tens of thousands of cults, religions, movements, and spiritualities are practiced in the country.


Embassy Details
Embassy Staff: The honored Professor will be accompanied by three human secretaries for his position, all male.
Embassy Security: TurtleShroom trusts the hospitality and diligence of the New Edomites for the protection of their ambassador at his office. However, one male, human guardsman with a standard, semi-automatic sidearm and a double-barrelled shotgun will escourt him in transport throughout the city,if New Edom does not offer security instead.
Embassy Domestic Staff: See above
Embassy Vehicles: TurtleShroom trusts the public transportation system of the New Edomites
Please List any Special Concerns or Needs: As a mushroom, Professor Yonder II "eats" by decomposition. That means he needs access to organic garbage or nature. Please provide him with your compost and wasted foodstuff, or allow him to purchase it from businesses in the area.

Sexual Equality: Private sector equality between male and female creatures, including humans, was and is the only enforced anti-discriminatiion provision allowed for in the First Constitution and the second. Non-discrimination on the basis of biological sex, unless the physical or cultural demands of the job exclude women, is law.
Racial Equality: No protections exists in the private sector, but TurtleShroom's humans are never racist to other humans because of the massive non-human population in the country. When your neighbor is a talking turtle or mushroom, suddenly the funny eyes or different skin of your neighbor doesn't matter.
Communism: Let the one million bodies hit the floor. Let the one million bodies hit the floor. Let the one million bodies hit the floor. Let the one million bodies hit the.............................

Fascism: Legal and unrestricted. National Socialism is illegal.
Socialism: FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hunting: Legal, subject to quotas
Homosexuality: Sodomy and all homosexual acts (including non-sex acts like buggery) are illegal, but proclaiming oneself as homosexual is not
Use of Mines in Warfare: Unrestricted outside of civilian areas and cities
Nuclear Arms: Ubitiquous, abundant, and all consuming. TurtleShroomian doctrine forbids the use of nuclear weapons of mass destruction except as an act of self-defense. TurtleShroom will not use nuclear weapons unless the country is invaded, the country is nuked first, or an immediate threat of a similar level is imminently preparing to be launched against TurtleShroom. Under no circumstances will TurtleShroom use nukes in an offensive war or as a first strike.
Ecology: Corporations are held liable for their messes and mines must reclaim the land when they finish mining, the government actively protects natural areas like rainforests
Laboratory Testing on Animals: For the purposes of medicine, unrestricted. For all other scientific and private sector testing, subject only to anti-cruelty standards.

AS AN ALLY OF TURTLESHROOM, NEW EDOM RESERVES THE RIGHT TO A FULL AMBASSADOR INSTEAD OF A LEGATE WITHIN TURTLESHROOM. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR AMBASSADOR.

Alliances and International Organizations: N/A

Current Conflicts: Ongoing insurgency in the ''Dependency'' of New Carthage ( former brasilistan ) with the main current non-state actor of the Islamic Emirate Of Brasilistan being responsible for a majority of terrorist actions and activities in the overseas province. Another conflict includes an additional insurgent movement in the Cassadian Homeland almost entirely centered in its activities along the border regions and interiors of several internal ''self-governing'' territories of the Kingdom of Saxony and the Fiefdom of Bosnia. This insurgency by the Abolitionist Army (historically republican and anti-slavery, currently progressive with heavy democratic, secular, socialist, feminist political ideology), which has waged a low-intensity war against the Crown-Government and the Cassadian Royal Family in particular, for a while now.

Originally founded by members of the disbanded/illegal, persecuted Abolitionist Society and its associations during the late 19th and early 20th century. The organization has experienced slow, yet critical terminal decline since the early 90s from losses in its support and logistics infrastructure as well as active members and underground activists. However the organization still retains a degree of serious capability to inflict damage as shown in its continuous acts to bomb Royal Cassadian Armed Forces and governmental objects as well as attempts to assassinate or kidnap local, senior Crown-Government officials, bureaucrats and employees including an assassination plot on the life of Her Imperial Majesty Relena Von Peacecraft back in 2015 on her Royal Yacht HMS Dauntless while on a fishing expedition/leisure trip in international waters around the northern coast. The attempt was to be carried out by a team of Frogmen, details of the foiled operation remain classified.

GREAT BOUNTIFUL EMPIRE OF THE UNITED TURTLES, MUSHROOMS, AND MEN OF TURTLESHROOM
OLD EXECUTIVE CABINET OF THE FIRST TURTLESHROOMIAN STATE
OLD MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
TURTLESHROOMIAN STATE DIPLOMATIC CORPS
PROVISIONAL DEAN

We are honored to extend formal diplomatic ties to our New Edomite allies and friends. We submit our application for our Ambassador to your magnificent country in hope of speedy processing.

General Information
Name of Country: Great Bountiful Empire of the United Turtles, Mushrooms, and Men of TurtleShroom
Head of State: INTERREGNUM
Head of Government (if applicable): Judgemaster Zodak Law (INTERIM)
Ambassador's Name: Professor Micah Canchaseeit Yonder II
Ambassador's Family: Like all mushrooms, the concept of "father" and "mother" do not exist in their life due to asexual production. Professor Yonder II took his name from his mentor and best friend, who got him into nuclear science in the first place.
Ambassador Biography:

Then came the scientist. He was a white mushroom with a thick pair of black glasses. Inexplicably, he was wearing a black labcoat (like the picture but black), and a patch sewn onto it bore the same emblem as his car. On the mushroom's head was a pickelhaube helmet with the universal "radioactive symbol"...

^ That was a post that is over eight years old. I was not as good of a writer as a I am now, but I'm linking to this for a quick description. Also, the Atomic Forces do not wear pickelhaubes. The servants of the defunct Weapons Division of the Ministry of "Nookular" Affairs, however, did.

Professor Yonder II is a sentient mushroom who served, before its restructuring, in the defunct Weapons Division of the Ministry of "Nookular[sic]" Affairs, an Executive Cabinet branch, staffed by soldiers and martial administrators, that oversaw the Atomic Forces of TurtleShroom. The Executive Cabinet branch was dissolved after a Constitutional challenge struck it down as a breach of the military's autonomy. The Atomic Forces, then and now, are a fully recognized, independent branch of the TurtleShroomian military.

Due to his office as a nuclear scientist and service in WMD's, he wears a black labcoat. Professor Micah was in charge of a major uranium enrichment center and factory in the rainforests and was called on after TurtleShroom split the atom in 2010 AD when all of the projects with silly names encompassing Project "Mushroom's Mushroom" were finished.

After the dissolution of the Ministry of "Nookular[sic]" Affairs and the transfer of the uranium centers to the military, he returned to teaching nuclear science, until he was asked by Judgemaster Law- the acting ruler of TurtleShroom during its restructuring after the Civil War -to serve as an Ambassador to the deeply trusted ally of New Edom.

Paul Pole was the first candidate selected to represent TurtleShroom, but he voluntarily committed himself to a mental institution after being released from yet another prison sentence for alcohol crimes late last year. He fell into full alcoholism due to his unrelenting shame and guilt derived from when he smart-mouthed Colleen Fish's homeland at that restaurant and got smacked. He never really was the same after that night and blames no one but himself.

Nation Facts
WA Political Description: FREE MARKET PARADISE* / CORPORATE BORDELLO* / RIGHT-WING UTOPIA*
WA Civil Rights Category: FEW*
WA Political Freedoms Category: WORLD BENCHMARK
WA Economic Category: FRIGHTENING
Alliances and International Organizations: TurtleShroom was formerly a member of the Steele Pact, but it dissolved with the collapse of the Greater Imperial Japanese Dystopia
Current Conflicts: The TurtleShroomian Civil War concluded in October 2018 AD, with over a million dead and a dissolution of the first TurtleShroomian state.
Religion: The dominant religion of TurtleShroom is Christianity. Its primary denomination is Southern Baptist Christianity, followed by Russian Old Believer Orthodox Christianity and TurtleShroomer Rite Catholic Christianity. Outside of Christianity is the Taiping Church, in third, and the pagan Grand Mystic Royal Order of the Southern Yue Shrine, placing fourth. Tens upon tens of thousands of cults, religions, movements, and spiritualities are practiced in the country.


Embassy Details
Embassy Staff: The honored Professor will be accompanied by three human secretaries for his position, all male.
Embassy Security: TurtleShroom trusts the hospitality and diligence of the New Edomites for the protection of their ambassador at his office. However, one male, human guardsman with a standard, semi-automatic sidearm and a double-barrelled shotgun will escourt him in transport throughout the city,if New Edom does not offer security instead.
Embassy Domestic Staff: See above
Embassy Vehicles: TurtleShroom trusts the public transportation system of the New Edomites
Please List any Special Concerns or Needs: As a mushroom, Professor Yonder II "eats" by decomposition. That means he needs access to organic garbage or nature. Please provide him with your compost and wasted foodstuff, or allow him to purchase it from businesses in the area.

Sexual Equality: Private sector equality between male and female creatures, including humans, was and is the only enforced anti-discriminatiion provision allowed for in the First Constitution and the second. Non-discrimination on the basis of biological sex, unless the physical or cultural demands of the job exclude women, is law.
Racial Equality: No protections exists in the private sector, but TurtleShroom's humans are never racist to other humans because of the massive non-human population in the country. When your neighbor is a talking turtle or mushroom, suddenly the funny eyes or different skin of your neighbor doesn't matter.
Communism: Let the one million bodies hit the floor. Let the one million bodies hit the floor. Let the one million bodies hit the floor. Let the one million bodies hit the.............................

Nuclear Arms: Ubitiquous, abundant, and all consuming. TurtleShroomian doctrine forbids the use of nuclear weapons of mass destruction except as an act of self-defense. TurtleShroom will not use nuclear weapons unless the country is invaded, the country is nuked first, or an immediate threat of a similar level is imminently preparing to be launched against TurtleShroom. Under no circumstances will TurtleShroom use nukes in an offensive war or as a first strike.
Ecology: Corporations are held liable for their messes and mines must reclaim the land when they finish mining, the government actively protects natural areas like rainforests
