A Hearth's Warming Party in the Summer(OOC|OPEN)

[Legokiller]

To: Nations of the world
From: President Fluffykins
Subject: International party

To friends of Silverdale

President Fluffykins has hereby announced an international party as a part of the celebration of the summer Hearth’s Warming. The United Pony States of Silverdale wish for our friends in Mystria, Pony Lands, and for those out there who desire to establish positive relations, can participate in the party. Silverdale hopes that this event will bring fruitful new friendships, and strengthen bonds, as we show our cultural heritage.

The international party for the festival of the summer Hearth's Warming will be held at the Palace of Seasons in Snowy Light. The palace complex is equipped for the necessary needs for non-equines

All attendants are required to bring a gift for a special event that might bring unexpected friendship. Additionally, guests can freely bring any other gifts outside of the marked gift for the event. Non-equine guests will have the necessary living rooms, food diets, and furniture.

Sincerely,

---

OOC:

Here’s some basic pointers:
-Indeed, there will be talking penguins.
-In fact, a lot of talking animals like ponies.
-Plus fantasy races.
-Magical ones at that.
-Don't meta the meta game.
-Don't godmod.
-Bodyguards will be limited to one to four
-Any lethal weapons that the characters bring will be confiscated.
-Non-lethal and ceremonial weapons are allowed.

All of the guests will be at the ballroom, so there is no need for arrival posts to explain how they get there. A lot more enjoyment of the roleplay can begin without those posts.

[Squeeheart]

Nation: Squeeheart
Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Current events in the nation: December 21st all the way to the end of December are all considered part of a massive holiday, especially 21st as this is the founding holiday of the nation. Monarch Beatnik himself doesn't plan on leaving the nation, but Yule Orchestra, his son, is willing to visit the Palace of Seasons and improve relations for the future leadership of the nation. Squeeheart itself isn't too popular with a few nearby territories. The Empire in the past had a habit of "passing judgement on the uncivilized tribes" and invading their lands for colonization and annexing. This behavior has died down in recent years, but several locals are still quite peeved.

Conflicts aside, Squeeheart technology is advancing extremely well. The Technocratic Union, a scientific political party, is hoping to pass legislation that will allow for increased funding of cybernetic technology in the future. Opposition to this research is decreasing after public endorsements all over the nation, including the Ponidyne Institute, Monarch Beatnik, and the Grand Temple of Celestia's keepers. The Ponidyne Institute has also released a recent report that Squeeheart ponies today are twice as healthy compared to other ponies worldwide, and in general are living much longer.

Name:
Yule Orchestra
Position/Job:
Son and heir to the Squeeheart monarchy.
Age:
25
Gender:
Male
Species:
Earth Pony
Does X likes penguins?:
Yes
Any health issues:
(Check additional info.)
Any additional info we should know:
Yule has a phobia of fire after playing with fireworks when he was younger, and difficulties sleeping at night unless accompanied.
RP example:
To be honest I've tried many roleplays, but they never go according to plan. Often there are time issues or several ideas gone wrong. I'm hoping this roleplay will make the exception.
