Second Annual GCN Conference (GCN members only)

[Aursi]

Sherman Holmes: "I don't know. But I don't think negotiations would go well with KTO."

“We have to at least try.”

Sherman Holmes: "True. We can try. Anyway, Mr. Williams can continue."

[Southeast Marajarbia]

"Peace with the KTO.”

Sherman Holmes: ❝I really cannot agree with my Muqaddasi friend here. Yes, if we have peace with KTO, then we might have peace for sometime. But that peace will be temporary. Without Democracy a country cannot prosper and have peace. Having peace with them will be bowing down towards a Undemocratic Alliance. And having peace with them will break GCN's Ideals. GCN is Democratic. GCN can't have peace with a corrupt, Undemocratic Alliance. This will break GCN's ideals and would not be beneficial towards GCN's future❞

Carl Williams: “This would not break GCN’s ideals at all. The KTO may be a sworn enemy of the Global Confederation of Nations, but at least attempting to secure peace with them would be more than beneficial. If we can’t secure peace, then we must shift our focus away from the Cold War and more towards other issues, such as slavery, Civil War Season, or even reforming the GCN. There’s other matters of more importance other than this unnecessary Cold War against the KTO, especially when the GCN is far more stronger than them. Important issues have to come first.”

Sherman Holmes: "Absolutely! Other issues are important then this unnecessary cold war. We're stronger than them. So we don't need peace with them. We should definitely focus on other important issues. This cold war is absolutely not good for GCN. So We should focus on the other issues to become more strong. That'll be more beneficial. We shouldn't waste time negotiating with KTO. We can try to have peace with them. But if they deny us then we can drop the idea and focus on other things like Slavery, Civil War/Alliances Season or reforming GCN. So I can say that I agree with Mr. Williams.

“If we ignore them completely and we do not make peace, they will stab us in the back when we’re not prepared.”

Sherman Holmes: "That is true. But why will we ignore them completely. We'll definitely be prepared. But we won't do the same as now. KTO will be in our watch, but we're going to care more about other things."

OOC: I might be a little hypocritical. Because I really am mixing up everything.

Carl Williams: “I say that GCN at least tries to make peace. If GCN fails at that, we just ignore the weak KTO. Such an undemocratic alliance that does not approve of peace would also not look good on the international stage.”

Carl Williams: “The KTO indeed is somewhat necessary to deal with, but once we move on from this pointless Cold War, the GCN can focus on its future, and the future of the international community by extension. The GCN can continue to build itself up to become more and more of a democratic superpower and major faction in international affairs. The GCN can also leave a lasting mark and continue to succeed the World Assembly, with each alliance that joins us contributing to our power and might. The GCN by far as the most influence, and can change the world by continuing to improve and spread true, uncorrupted democracy everywhere.”

“No. We may continue.”

[Southeast Marajarbia]

“No. We may continue.”

Carl Williams: "If you will all follow me, I believe it's time to start the tour of the Marajarbian cities of Andreusville and Port Shanghai. Andreusville, the city you are standing in right now, is the capital of The Marajarbian Federation. Originally settled by a mix of British and Hindi settlers, Andreusville grew into a hub of commerce ever since relations that were formed with major and minor trading partners around the globe, including Muqaddasia, Corrington, Dalmannia, the Union of Nobelia, a large part of coalition-controlled Galapagos during the Second Galapagos War, Meretica, Allanea, Southern Xenick, Nytoa, The UAC, Taiwanese South West Africa, Lushansk, Sapim, Nachmere, Texkentuck, Trenaka, and many others. A majority of the results of all of that trade was concentrated here, helping with the construction and expansion of Andreusville in its tropical, hot landscape. Andreusville grew, and eventually became the big city that it is today. Complete with the residence of the former royal family, which has been turned into a museum similar to that of the Palace of Versailles in France."

Carl Williams: “Any questions regarding the city of Andreusville?”

[Aursi]

Sherman Holmes: "Are all the important Government infrastructure here? And does His Excellency Emperor Jackson leave in Andreusville?"

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Sherman Holmes: "Are all the important Government infrastructure here? And does His Excellency Emperor Jackson leave in Andreusville?"

Carl Williams: "Why, the answer to both of your questions is yes. The Marajarbian Parliament is located here, on the intersection between Kaipiteel boulevard and Qíqū shān avenue. Emperor Jackson's residence is right up in those nearby hills to the right."

OOC: Surprised that it isn’t an IC question, but I will answer it here OOCly regardless. Emperor Jackson is busy, primarily due to today’s developments. There’s a lot in the works that is just getting done today, with excellent timing to say the least.

45 minutes later, after boarding the train:

Carl Williams: “Here we are, Port Shanghai! This is by far one of the busiest ports in the entire Marajarbian Federation. It’s very prosperous due to many, many trade routes existing, and many foreign products and people pass through Port Shanghai in the thousands every year. Any questions so far?”

“When was it founded? And what are the best sights?”

Carl Williams: “It all started in the year 751, with the epic conclusion to the Huā kāi zhī zhàn (Battle of Rising Flowers), when many epic warriors from the Silver Sea and Jararabians fought to control the area. It was around this time when the Great Asian Empire was formed, leading to the foundation of Shanghai. In the year 1825, the British Empire took over Shanghai, using it as a major Naval Base, which ultimately resulted in population growth. It was until 1956 when USSR authorities would seize the area, and use the newly named “Port Shanghai” to control trade within the Asia-Pacific region. Port Shanghai grew under these empires and rulers, and that resulted in Port Shanghai becoming a Western Marajarbian city until the reunification and formation of the modern Second Marajarbian Federation. There are plenty of sights, too, with the main tourist attraction being the Silver Sun Museum, which has proven to be popular due to it essentially being “Asia’s Louvre”. Any other questions?”
