Seeing as people are making excellent posts at a steady pace (but beauty takes time, Rome wasn’t built in a day and all that), I’ll certainly extend this through the week to give everyone enough enough time to post and interact.

Google images is literally the worst
But you found a good picture at least. I assume the Special Envoy is a Special Envoy to Bruke?
Call her a special envoy without portfolio, though in practice she has two particular specializations -- she's usually the vanguard for diplomatic negotiations between Dahon and nations it has no connection with (usually with an eye to establishing those relations), as well as the first to be sent to represent Dahon in peacekeeping initiatives.
Also, FYI, her wife's a former Chinese student dissident who fled China after the failure of Tiananmen, and who is now kon to the Yakumokami. So, Pan, since you have China in your map, did Tiananmen happen at all or what?

Yeah, we should hash out some details, as my main girl's married to a former student activist from China (who fled the country after Tiananmen and who is now one of my leaders' second-in-command) which is under your possession, if your map is any indication.
I'm free to whitewash the fact for the purpose of the RP -- only thing is: were there ever Tiananmen protests in your continuity?

The People's Republic of China is NOT the Confederacy of China. They're both led by Xi Jinping, but the Confederation answers to Secretary-General Garrick, too.

Hi there! Just wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas and say I’m extending the RP for as long as needed. It’ll be finished whenever it finishes.

No, no what I’m trying to say is that you don’t need to feel rushed to post....
One final thing I should have emphasized: if any of your characters are fasting, there is a fasting option available at the Royal Palace. The items will be vegetarian in that instance.

It turns out that several people had to drop out, but on the bright side this means that the RP will continue very very soon.

Hi there, apologies for the delay, holiday season and all. The next post will start the service itself and get through much of the liturgy. I’m trying to accurately recreate an actual Orthodox Church service as much as possible, which is hard to do when..... well there’s not that much info online. Coming ASAP though

The Service post has finally been posted, after much delay. It’s a long one, since I wanted to get all of the liturgy done in one post to be able to move on to the ceremony itself next time.

In case the TG was missed, I’m trying to get this all wrapped up by next week before class starts. Thank you all so much for sticking with the RP thus far.
Also, I realize the next events coming up are big, so I’ll make sure the Inaugural Session event is relatively short (2 posts from me max, one set-up and one wrap-up) so that the focus can be on the Inauguration Ceremony and the Prime Minister’s Ball.
