Ambassadors desired in Xeraph....and an Invitation

[Xeraph]

Greetings from Xeraph!

His Imperial Majesty, Amalric Tan'it, Imperator Xeraphus, does hereby proclaim that the Empire has rebuilt the capitol city of Ravennii to include two-hundred new Ambassadorial Compounds.

Each compound is situated on 3-4 landscaped acres to include an Ambassadorial Residence, a secondary residence for the ambassador's staff, a barracks for his Security Force, a HeliPad, and an enclosed Olympic-sized swimming pool complete with exercise room and spa. In addition, all three residential buildings are completely outfitted with the latest food-creative technology and a TransBeam Unit.

Our requirements are simple: Up to 25 Security Personnel armed with whatever small arms are particular to the country, and a Staff of 25. It should be noted that as there are no roads in Ravennii, no vehicles are necessary. Transportation will be provided by the Empire as various types of HCGSs piloted by Xeraphians. Heavy weapons are prohibited.

Each compound will be completely surrounded by a six-foot wall with two gates, front and back. Each gate will be guarded by Imperial Forces.

In addition to this announcement, His Majesty would like to invite all who would come to his wedding 60 days hence. Those nations who accept this invitation will be accorded preferential placement as to an embassy as well as status as Friends of the Empire.


Recorded this day, the 20th of December, the Year of the Lord 2657.

In the Name of the Emperor, I, Vlad Tan'it, Seneschal of the Empire and Prince of The Grey Phoenix, do hereby proclaim the will of the Emperor.

Mr. Krukliskni,

I thank you for your inquiry into the acquisition of one of our embassy compounds. At this time I regrettably deny said request on the grounds of your nation's youth and thereby your nation's inexperience in matters of international diplomacy. Perhaps in several years time you can re-apply and I will gladly reconsider your request.

Prince Vlad Tan'it

[Tarxejn]

Dear Emperor of Xeraph,
The Republic of Tarxejn would gladly accept your invitation and would like to ask for your request to accept our diplomat, Dr Joseph Casha.

[Xeraph]

Dear Emperor of Xeraph,
The Republic of Tarxejn would gladly accept your invitation and would like to ask for your request to accept our diplomat, Dr Joseph Casha.

Mr. Prime Minister,

I have a question about Tarxejn. What World Assembly rules did you violate so as to be removed? I'll need this answer before I can make a decision about your request.

regards,

Prince Vlad Tan'it

[Colonial Vancouver]

Prince Tan'it,

As Provincial Governor of the Protectorate of Colonial Vancouver, I would be honored to be included in the company of those worthy nations granted entrance to your Empire. We have no problem with your requirements.

Our representative will be Magistrate Jenna Kirkland. She has a long history of fairness and justice in our land and would be a perfect addition to the ranks of Ambassadors to Xeraph.

I await your response.

Yours Truly,

Governor Ulysses Sorus

[Tarxejn]

OOC: 2 nations, same computer, 1 this, the other my brother's (which is now given to me). That was a huge mistake by me, and I will never do it again.

IC:

The WA had removed Tarxejn (and another neighbouring country) because we were always criticising each other due to different political types, Tarxejn is a social democratic country, while the other is an authoritarian one. Don't judge what we did in the past, judge what we're doing in the present.

Mr. Prime Minister,

Upon review of your explanation, it seems that the initial reason for your ejection from the WA would be due to lack of diplomatic skills when engaging your neighboring nation. There are many ways to exchange views without being antagonistic. Added to that, your directive to us to not judge you is out of order. A nation like yours does not tell an Empire what they should or should not do. And your undertone of begging is most distasteful.

Request denied.

[Elizabetta]

Arriving in the Destroyer HMS Vorlon, servants & crew unloade Miss Knollys luggage and in a break from usual customs a van to tansport her luggage instead of the horse drawn carraiges that Elizabettans would usually travel in as it was decided not to take horses due to the lengh of the ships journey. She has the Knollys shape standing a couple of inches over five feet, slim build and with her long brown hair braided and scented with lavender oil, subtle makeup shows off her brown eyes to god effect. She is dressed in the current fashion of a long lime green dress with two purple slashes on the left side, a cloche hat of blue with a pink feather.
A sedan chair is unloaded for her to travel in. Whilst the van is being loaded she goes ahead her chair carried by eight servants whilst the ten strong bodyguard jogged alongside five of them each side of the chair.
Arriving at the palace she shows her documentation, and whilst several of her guards go ahead to check out the apartment & grounds she sips aglass of gin. When they confirm it is safe she enters and after a wash and changing into a pale pink dress with green slashes and a bright red cloche hat with a bluebell border, she goes to present herself to her host.
Seeing a servents she requests that he show her the way to the throne room.

OOC: If she seems rude it is because our society is Matriarchal and men are usually told what to do rather than asked.

The "servant", Marc de Poubelle , Lord Count of the Province of Menton, looked the Ambassador up and down, smiled and with a bow said, "Please wait here, Madam. I'll run right over and see if this can be arranged."

As he pushed open the massive doors of the Hall of Meeting, he jerked a thumb over his shoulder and announced, "Vlad! It appears that a certain young lady from one of those new nations you've brought in here is most anxious to meet with you and Amalric. Appears quite impatient." Vlad moved over to sneak a peek out the door, and said, "Ah, the Lady Knollys from Elizabetta. It's a country run by women, so don't be surprised if a condescending attitude is put forth. It's just their way."

"So, what do I tell her?"

Vlad looked around and saw the Emperor relaxing at a small table, playing a couple of hands of poker, cigar smoke beginning to fill the room. "Well, she might as well get used to things around here. M'lord Emperor! We have company! Straighten up and look presentable!"

The Emperor scowled. "Who the hell is it?"

"The representative from Elizabetta. Apparently she's here to see us and from all appearances, she's not accustomed to waiting!"

Amalric grunted. "Is that so! She good looking?"

"Eminently, but don't forget that your bride-to-be is just over there, so be circumspect!"

The Emperor stood, straightened his leather tunic, straightened his chainmail and swords, and then gave the sign to let the ambassador in. He moved towards the Lion Throne and stood next to it, arms folded across his chest, black hair cascading over his shoulders to his waist, esoteric tattoos covering his arms, blue eyes blazing, looking every inch the Emperor........

[Native Tribal Nations]

As the smoke from the fire curled around him, Watching Eagle considered all of the advice he received from his people about allying himself with the Big Chief of Xeraph. He'd heard of the man, and what he heard, he liked. He knew his land was immense, his power overwhelming, his treasures beyond calculating.

He decided. Motioning to his daughter, he said, "Running Deer, please send a message to whoever it is that is able to get us into one of the Xeraphian Emperor's embassies. We have much to gain by being friends with this Amalric."

"Perhaps, Father, but this is a very big and powerful empire. He commands the allegiance of fourteen other nations, each in themselves huge and powerful. What possible reason would they grant us diplomatic status in such an empire?"

Watching eagle shrugged his shoulders. "We have everything to gain and very little to lose. What little we have makes Xeraph a little bigger. And what Xeraph has will make us more prosperous than we are now, eh?"

Running Deer thought for a few seconds. "As you wish, Father. Who is the person I should contact?

"I don't know, child. Send it right to the Emperor. If he's the person I think he is, he'll respond."

I am pleased to advise you that your new Embassy Compound awaits you. It just so happens that His Majesty the Emperor will be in the city the day you arrive and would personally like to greet you and your people.

The Emperor was lounging on one of the balconies that led off of the Throne Room. A glass of very old Cognac and a Gaian cigar accompanied the soft conversation he and his fianceé, Jada de Travellar, were enjoying. They heard the door open. "M'lord, I would not disturb you, but this just came in from one of the outposts in New America. Prince Vlad thought you should see it at once."

Amalric glanced at it, and handed it to Jada. "I think you know these Amerikans better than I. What do they want?"

"Hmmm, this one is from those Native Tribesmen who aided the Amerikans and ourselves when we were recovering the region from those pesky Islamists. These people are a bit on the brutal side. They seem to revel in extreme interrogative methods and are the pinnacle of the scout/tracker types."

"Which means they're sneaky and they like to torture people, eh?"

"You could put it that way I suppose." Jada read further. "They want one of our embassies."

"So, let 'em have one! We could use they're primitive thought processes around here once in a while, no?"

"Hmmm, one possible problem, my love. They have no country. No borders they can call their own. They are a nomad society that roams at will in the New America region. It's one of the tenets built into the agreement they have with the other nations of the region."

"Sounds interesting. Going where you want, doing what you want, when you want, how you want with minimal interference or opinion from others. I think I'd like to go see that one day."

"Perhaps part of our honeymoon? A few days with these people before we're off to the Expanses?"

"Sounds good!" He motioned over to the secretary. "Jhane, please let the Chief know that I would be honored to have him and his people here in Ravennii. Tell him that if he wants help i getting here, we'll come and get him."

"Yes, m'lord. Any particular compound for him?"

Amalric thought for a moment. "Y'know, I'd like to keep these people close. Put 'em in between The Monks and Tarlag."

"Yes, m'lord. Anything else?"

"Another brandy, Jhane. It's getting a little chilly out here."
