Harruka-Festival

[North Avayu]

Dear leaders of the world,

North Avayu has recently decided to make international contacts. Therefore I want to extend an invitation to all of you to come to our nation.
It won't just be a meeting for political and economical reasons, but mostly a cultural exchange. You will stay at the Presidents Villa in the heart of Freiburg, the capital of our nation. You are encouraged to bring partners, family and a delegation with you, but please not too many persons, because there is no endless space in the villa. Please tell us the numbers of the people you want to bring with you, so that we can plan your lodging.

The program will start with a party the first day, followed by informal talks and opportunities to visit our country.
At the same time of this meeting, there will be hold a traditional event, called the "Harruka-Festival". It's a initiation ceremony with its origins by the native tribes of our country. Today it's an important cultural event for young man and woman in the age of sixteen. It consists out of twelve different challenges as well for the body as for the mind. You are allowed to bring a fellow countryman or -woman with you to participate in this competition, or even take part in it yourself. Your age doesn't matter in this case, see it as a symbolic act of making friends with our nation.

I hereby invite you in the name of President William Sheppard and the people of North Avayu,
Sincerely
Patrick Agon, Prime Minister of North Avayu

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: This shall mainly be a opportunity to introduce my nation and make some contacts.

[Agzenzia]

I will come to stay at the villa, i will not participate in the festival, and i will bring 5 of my best AEGS (Agzenzia Elite Guard Squadron) Troopers with me as protection.

[North Avayu]

Dear Supreme Dictator Fenaqz,

It's good to hear this. However, I can tell, that there is no reason to bring armed men with you. But they are kindly invited as long as they don't carry their weapons open.
We will welcome you

Patrick Agon

Wiendan Council

The Three Wiendan Nations: North, South, and Southwest, plan to attend this Conference. We will require three Rooms, all next to each other. The Presidents (or Dictators) will bring their Wife (or Husband) each. The total amount of people attending, therefore, is Six. Please arrange for that.

Also, another question has arisen. Will North Avayu be the only nation presenting its Culture, or will we get a chance to share?
Best Reguards,
-Fifty-sixth Assembled Wiendan Council

OOC: Probably not a good idea to let Bishopson in. He'll nuke us.
Also, THERE BEST BE CAKE!

[Fatatatutti]

We would be pleased to send Ms. Harmony Chang to represent Fatatatutti at the Harruka Festival. Although she is over sixteen, she would like to participate in the challenges.

No accomodations will be required at the villa. However, Ms. Chang would appreciate any information about cheap campsites in the vicinity. She would also like to know about the possibility of renting a bicycle.

[Eleben]

Empress Serenity Boujé of Eleben would love to exchange the culture of North Avayu and Eleben. Along with Serenity there will be her twin brother and her assistant. There will also be an Elebeneese olympic champion, Tarlia, who will participate in the Harruka Festival. Thank You

[Oxymoronicae]

From the office of

Caius I

Supreme Dictator and Guardian of the Realm

The Jingoistic States of Oxymorinicae

SIR,

The Jingoistic States of Oxymoronicae applaud the decision on the behalf of other nations to take no armed forces. We require, however, that each official attending requires two guardsmen, and for every family and/or minor dignitary one guardsman. We cannot risk the presence of Supreme Dictator Cauis I, but his brother Lord Admiral Dvorgon will be leading our party.

The party:

Lord Admiral Dvorgon; two security personnel
Lord Admiral Dvorgon's family; three people and one member of security personnel
Ensigns of the Fleet Gnock, Gildor and Edwards and three security personnel
Deputy-Commander-In-Chief of the Merchant Guards Sandhorn and two security peronnel; his family and one member of security personnel

Therefore:

Four rooms

Suggested transport arrangements


We will fly our party in on the jetfighter 'Termbeetle' and will anticipate a party to meet them.

Security Personnel

In light of your request for light weapons, our guardsmen will carry silent OM-36E specification pistols. These are lethal but are easily concealed and should not pose a danger to you. They are also to be armed with traditional electrical pikes which are ceremonial and occasionally used for crown control. These can be left behind at any ceremony which you desire this arrangement for.

Caius I

Supreme Dictator.

[Assuran]

Prime Minister Agon,

The Assurani First Family was thrilled to recieve your invitation. My husband, however, regrets to inform you that we will be unable to attend due to recent civil unrest in our coastal province.

In our place, we send our eldest son and youngest daughter, Darian and Beatrice LeSangstra. Both are accomplished dancers, especially in regards to our regional variation of the waltz, and both have some skill with the lyre. If you so wish, they will be happy to demonstrate at the festival.

As is the custom in Assuran, my children will each be accompanied by a small squadron of no more than four lightly armed guards. Should this become a problem, these guards can easily be recalled to prevent any tensions from arising.

In total, we should require no more than one room for both of my children--Beatrice is sixteen, and should not be unaccompanied by her brother--and four nearby rooms for the guards, should you allow them to attend the festivities as well. If no rooms are to be had in the villa, we will be forced to withdraw our response to your invitation.

Yours humbly,
Adria LeSangstra nee Taelstarr
Lady-Consort of Norbert LeSangstra and Matron of the Assurani First Family

[North Avayu]

A brochure from the tourist information, especially for Ms. Harmony Chang:

North Avayu is suited for every kind of vacation. We have high class hotels for conferences and sophisticated guests, beautiful beaches and beach hotels for casual tourists and also opportunities for backpackers to learn to know the country and its population. The beautiful green countryside, with many National Parks and historical monuments, is as well worth taking a look at as our modern cities, with their cultural institutions and guaranteed fun for everyone.
...
For Backbackers and Adventurers
North Avayu is perfect for a backpacker vacation. There is much to see everywhere, a well built public transport system and the people are generally hospitable.
Renting bikes or a car: The public transport is supported by "rent-a-bike-stations". At those, you can rent bikes for a samll fee (10 Aions a day, around 2,5$). The bikes are modern and well maintained, You are able to give them back at any other station in the same town, most big cities have one in every quarter. You can also rent them for for a longer time period and driving from town to town, but then you have to pay an extra fee and to sign a little contract. For renting cars, there are a lot of car rentals in every town, especially near tourist hot spots and airports.
Camping:Every town with more than 100.000 inhabitants has to have an campsite. Those are cheap and mainly for the modest guests. There are also a lot of private campsites everywhere, some direct in the jungle some next to the beach. Camping is very popular and a good way to save money.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dear Empress Serenity Boujé of Eleben,

I'm very happy to that the Eleben is sending a delegation. Four rooms will be provided for you.
Looking forward to the meeting,

Patrick Agon,
Prime Minister

-------------------------------------------------------

To The Jingoistic States of Oxymorinicae

We will have four rooms ready for Lord Admiral Dvorgon and his party. We will await your delegation at the Kant International Airport in Freiburg. You then will be transportet in North Avayun government vehicles to the Villa.
There shouldn't be a problem with your security personnel as long as they stay kindly in the background and carry their weapons safely and unreachable for third persons. Also you should try to arrange with the securities of other nations so that there is no internal conflict.
Looking forward to the meeting,

Patrick Agon,
Prime Minister

-------------------------------------------------------

Dear Adria LeSangstra nee Taelstarr,

We will be happy to accomodate your children with open arms. I'm sure they will be a great compensation for your absence and will be able to give us some insight into your nations culture. we will provide them with a litle suite with two rooms, which was planned for guests with children, and furthermore four rooms for your security. the guards shouldn't be a problem, as long as they behave in a kind, contained way.
Looking forward to the meeting,

Patrick Agon,
Prime Minister

[Oxymoronicae]

From the office of

Caius I

Supreme Dictator and Guardian of the Realm

The Jingoistic States of Oxymorinicae

Prime Minister Agon,

Oxymoronicae thanks you for your acceptance of our party. There's no threat of our weapons falling into other hands; you'd have to be pretty stupid to try. Our party and Lord Admiral have no intention of sparking off any hostilities during their stay in your country.

Many thanks,


Cauis I

Supreme Dictator

[Assuran]

Prime Minister Agon,

Thank you for your prompt response.
The Assurani guards have all been training in proper concealment techniques, as well as common courtesy. We have no known enemies at this time, so tensions should not be a problem.
The Herondale Committee for International Affairs has agreed to supply the children of the First Family with one of our nation's few helicopters, a Bell 206 Jetranger, for the journeys to and from North Avayu (We felt that an Assurani airship might be, ah, a little much.). Which airfield would be the most convenient?

Humbly yours,
Katrin Gilian
Secretary for International Affairs

[North Avayu]

Supreme Dictator Caius I,

Everything will be ready for your arrive when the meeting starts. We are sure your guards won't cause any problems.
Thanks from my part

Patrick Agon
Prime Minister

-------------------------------------

Secretary Katrin Gilian

Standard procedure would be to land at Freiburgs Kant International Airport, where you would be awiated by a commitee and then transferred to the Villa. But as we heard that your people appreciate to go by foot, it would be possible to land at the Parliaments helipad, from where it's just a short walk to the Presidents Villa, with a chance to see some sights of our capital. Please tel me which would be more convenient for you, because you would need a special allowance for the parliaments helipad.
Yours

Patrick Agon
Prime Minister

[Assuran]

Prime Minister Agon,

If you could arrange for the use of the Parliaments Helipad, hopefully without too much trouble, that would be wonderful. Please do not expect the children before 1300 hours, though, as a minor religious observance falls on the day they would depart for your festival.

Humbly yours,
Katrin Giliad
Secretary for International Affairs

[Fatatatutti]

Thank you for the information. I'm sure I will enjoy my stay in your country. I hope my camping away from the villa won't cause any inconvenience in communicating with the other guests.

-- Harmony Chang

[North Avayu]

Secretary Katrin Gilian,

Perfect. The use of the helipad should be feasible, I already sent an application to the parliamentary administration. Of ourse we can understand the bonds of religous observances and hence the delay.
Yours

Patrick Agon
Prime Minister

-----------------------------

Ms. Harmony Chang

We hope you will enjoy the stay. The next campsite is a bit away from the Villa, so will need to rent a bike or use public transport. Of course there wouldn't be a problem to fetch you in a government car.
Yours

Patrick Agon
Prime Minister

[Fatatatutti]

Thank you for your consideration. We Fatatatutians like to pay our own way and - as you can probably tell - we don't like to pay too much.

I look forward to the festival.

-- Harmony Chang

[The Wilsons]

I will only attend if an endorsement of my nation were to occur.

[Justorica]

Me and a friend of mine are coming to the festival. Be warned, we will have special medical packages that if they are x-rayed or looked through, they will be contaminated, resulting in the death of 2 foreign diplomats. We both request rooms on the 5th floor of the Hurruka Hotel in the Villa.
