Bonvenigi, justan Junulinon (Closed ATTN: Unilisia)

[Greater Tezdrian]

Ling nervously paced the polished floor of her bedchambers. She had been planning a Greater Tezdriani-Unilisian conference for months to strengthen the bonds between the two nations. She had not been so anxious, but then a message arrived carrying news. Eve (a close friend of Ling's) had not been able to attend. Her daughter, Enex, was attending instead. Ling did not like new people. She was a very anti-social person, and rarely trusted new people, regardless of where they came from. She was terrified that she and her nation would not meet the Unilisian's approval. Although she would never admit it, she held every nation including her own to the Unilisian standard. She hoped she met Enex's approval.

She hoped she met Enex's approval.

The transit from Umbria to Venko was quiet, which did nothing to settle Enex' nerves. Greater Tezdrian was a long time ally of Imperium, and to visit it was a great honor. But she preferred military work before diplomacy, and as she stepped down from the platform in an appropriate "uniform" of sorts, the dark silk grew cold against her flesh but did little to annoy her. Cold was a Unilisian specialty.

"Rain, damn." She whispered to herself, without showing the annoyance. Her skin was paler than usual, deathly gray, and her voluptuous yet muscular frame only cemented the idea of an inhuman entity approaching the Tezdriani limousine. Stepping inside, the guards seemed to wait a few more seconds before getting in and driving to the Imperial Palace. She didn't bring the Blood Guard; Her body was more dangerous than any bullet.

Ling saw the limousine pull into the wide coral drive. She hurriedly threw on a burgundy silk dress with wolf fur trim. She rushed out the door, down the steps, and collected herself before stepping outside. A sudden thunderstorm caught the city and had it in it's grip; so she carried an umbrella. She went up the the limo, and opened Enex's door before handing her an umbrella. "Enex, my dear, so nice to meet you."

But she preferred military work before diplomacy, and as she stepped down from the platform in an appropriate "uniform" of sorts, the dark silk grew hot.

"Tropical weather. Damn." She whispered to herself, without showing the annoyance. Her skin was paler than usual, deathly gray, and her voluptuous yet muscular frame only cemented the idea of an inhuman entity approaching the Tezdriani limousine.

Enex curtsied slightly as she stepped from the limousine, looking about the area for any possible security threats.

"I thank you for allowing me to come and visit Greater Tezdrian in the place of my mother." Enex followed her into the palace, shaking the water off upon entrance.

"I thank you for allowing me to come and visit Greater Tezdrian in the place of my mother." Enex followed her into the palace, shaking the water off upon entrance.

"Quite alright dear, quite alright." She led Enex down the massive ornate hallway, into a small, well appointed room. Ling seated herself in a comfortable wing backed chair, and motioned to a small couch across from her "Please sit." A butler walked into the room, bearing vodka, a large wine glass, and spring water. "Refreshments?" asked Ling, taking the bottle of vodka and pouring over half the bottle into the glass. She took a long pull.

"No thank you madam, I had a small meal earlier." She studied the way Ling spoke and lived, every movement, every flicker of the eye, the small things that defined the woman. Of course, she did it in a manner hiding the awkwardness.

"May I inquire as to why you have opted for my visit ?"

"May I inquire as to why you have opted for my visit ?"

"To speak of the Unification, and to show you around Venko." She was unnerved by this young woman, Enex seemed to be studying her closely. "So, my informants tell me that your nation is considering a legal union with the nation of New Azura. You are aware that this is inconsistent with the earlier unification?"

"Lack of sufficient political connections with Greater Tezdrian, over a period of time, had prompted a different set of possibilities. New Azura and Unilisia as de facto unified, but officially are separate on the world stage. Unification with anyone, at the moment, is unlikely." A lock of hair fell out of place, and with a snip Enex cut it off, watching it cascade down into her lap. She grabbed it and slid it onto her person, then looked back up at Ling.

Ling stared for a moment, and then collected herself. "How could political relation between our two nations be strengthened?"

"Through activities such as this. Connections with Greater Tezdrian and the International Association of Slave Exporting Nations has once again become a major part of Unilisian foreign policy, with the Judean states no longer casting a shadow over them."

"I am glad to hear it. Although, I'm afraid my temper might have gotten out of hand at the summit, the Unilisian delegate was most admirable. I'm sorry if this is not pertinent, but how is your mother?"

"Enjoying herself engorging on the Aleonicai, leaving me all alone to take care of the "house"." Enex wasn't exactly glad to be left behind. Her mind was stratocratic, just like the Unilisian state.

"I take it you are unhappy with her choice," Ling allowed herself a smile "however, let's get back to the matter at hand. How would we go about actually integrating our two nations to a small extent. A motion is being bandied about the Privy Council about whether to appoint a Unilisian as an observer in the Common Assembly. I doubt it's success."

"Such a move would make sense. You could choose from one of our ambassadors, and I'm sure my mother would approve of it."

"Such a move would make sense. You could choose from one of our ambassadors, and I'm sure my mother would approve of it."

"I shall convey my approval to the Council." She clapped her hands and a servant entered. He bent slightly as she whispered into his ear. His eyes widened, and he sprinted away. "I promised him 20 Ostmarks if he got word to them within the hour," she explained "I expect he shall hurry. Now, who are you ambassadors?"

"I have met her, and would be happy to accept her as representative."

[Unilisia]

"I take it you have met Eliza. Several others I am not well acquainted with control the embassies or ours around the world."

"I have met her, and would be happy to accept her as representative."

"Then she shall be informed upon her return to the Imperium itself." Enex smiled, wondering why humans developed such lavish decorum for their homes.

"What gave you the impulse to make this place so... exalting ?"

[Greater Tezdrian]

"Then she shall be informed upon her return to the Imperium itself." Enex smiled, wondering why humans developed such lavish decorum for their homes.

"What gave you the impulse to make this place so... exalting ?"

"Hmmm? Oh, the decorum. I am a rather egotistic person." Ling glanced at the golden frescoes and fine marble engraving "I find lavish decorum such as this reminds all who see it that I am in charge," she smirked "also, I'm a fan of gaudy."

"Does it serve any other function besides looking good ?" Being used to the functional decorum back home, Enex was a bit surprised at all the gold.

"None whatsoever besides keeping me content. Why do you ask?" She thought the young Unilisian looked slightly dumbfounded.

"Just pondering. What's common life and society like here ?" She took in everything she saw and heard, the smallest of details and sounds.

"Just pondering. What's common life and society like here ?" She took in everything she saw and heard, the smallest of details and sounds.

"Society in the Imperial Union is very feudalistic. Most of the nation works as a labor force of the plantation owners. The plantation owners allow them to sharecrop in return for the citizens help in defending his land when the need should arise. 99.9% of the populace are registered with the Imperial Fascist Coalition, and all major businesses are nationalized. A small segment of the populace work as booksellers, carpenters, and what-have-you. The slave trade is our major economic booster, and everyone owns at least one."

"Hmm.... that does sound a tad feudal. And you sure do account for the castles." She motioned around her with a few points of her finger in a whirl.

"Any questions for me ?"

Ling thought for a moment. "How is life in Unilisia? The popular conception is that it is an arctic wasteland, devoid of all life except for a few huddling towns. Is this true?"
