[TWI-ONLY] Meeting at the Eye on the Globe

[Tricklandia]

This is a meeting between delegates of Tricklandia, Lancenshire and Hdisar in The Western Isles. Only Tricklandia and Lancenshire are allowed to speak IC. OOC comments are allowed from other TWI nations.

Lancenshire, it is currently 10am in Tricklandia. Whoever you decided to send to New Hipvil was greeted with a cloudy, slightly cool summer day (18C), contrasted by the usual vibrant colors and diversity of the nation; they might have come via a state-issued vehicle, meandering and struggling through the narrowish central streets filled with all sorts of bizarrely-dressed, strikingly noticeable people walking around, singing and laughing, mostly in groups, little to no cars in sight, or using the very well-funded public transport system, showing them around the mixture of sleek and modern architecture of the modestly sized capital with noticeable Polynesian and Dutch inspiration.

Reaching the Eye on the Globe, a white marble palace enclosed in a decorative glass half-sphere, they are greeted by a red carpet, four officials standing next to it, and two strikingly young women dressed in suits. One is tall, with recognizable Balniki face features and short blonde hair, and introduces herself as Frida Lexaya, the Tricklandian Ministry of Global Affairs. "We are happy to see that our invite has been accepted", she says. The other, shorter, with darker skin, shaved bald and eyebrow and nose piercings, says she's Jolie Esther, the Ministry of Economy and Innovation.

Together, they invite you to introduce yourself and shake their hand.

Hdisar, your delegate is there too. It is now a 3-way meeting.

[Hdisar]

The 3 delegates were welcomed inside, as they enter, these 3 delegates introduce themselves and their names:


• Maer Hivalma [Male, 34]
• Nikolai Teratsvo [Male, 52]
• Friedburg Harols [Male, 37]

Friedburg takes a sip on a bottle of water and puts it in his table. He then speaks:

“ Today is quite an important day for the people of the Eastern nations. After this meeting, we shall rebuild the world and help others not just in the Eastern part of the world. We shall begin... ”

— Friedburg, 2023

[Tricklandia]

Frida takes up the small microphone on the table. "First of all, our kindest thanks for joining us here today. I find Mr. Harols to be quite right: today is, indeed, an important day."

Jolie then starts speaking. "So, as you may know, Tricklandia has only begun its journey from total isolationism to being hopefully part of the global trade market. We believe we're on the right track: although it would be laughable to talk about the market in Tricklandia as "free", we do have one, and one we believe has much potential. We cannot ease up instantly on our admittedly steep custom tax and foreign entry barrier, but we can start piece by piece: and beginning with local, Eastern realities seems more than feasible in both practicality and sustainability."

Frida then talks again: "So, what is it exactly you wish to inquire with our nation about? Speaking of trades, we are open to import/export agreements, and even to trade unions, if we deem conditions fit. Tricklandia, in particular, has advanced pharmaceutical, chemical and electronic industries, in part thanks to the well-known rare earth deposits below Tumanako Island. We, on the other hand, struggle, according to latest reports, with textiles and heavy industry, to say two, and the automotive industry also suffers, even though it is in great part due to low public demand. To conclude, diplomatic alliances are... Something we are open to."

The two Ministries leave word to you.

The two Ministries leave word to you.

Maer: "We would like to discuss about the United Eastern Nations and the benefits of it if founded. I'd like to say that the United Eastern Nations is an economic alliance and, well, as it says in the name - an alliance between the nations by the east of the map. If we are able to create the UEN, we could further improve our economy and with it, improve the quality of life."

Nikolai: "Yes, thank you, Maer. Hdisar is quite open for business too and we would like this alliance to be helping one another with trade. By the south of our nation, sits the Acsov mountain range. Rich of clay and mud due to lakes that once existed. This could help your infrastructural developments.

We are specifically looking to make good allies with Lancenshire, and Tricklandia. We would like to open an agreement on import/export which could fix your low demand, as you might find new opportunities with this."

[Tricklandia]

"Yes, we can open up channels for the foundation of a union." says Jolie.

Frida, though, looks slightly agitated. She takes up the mic: "Before any of that, though, we want to make sure we're on the right side of things. We know you both are currently facing moderate to severe internal struggles in your respective nations, even though things are improving. Especially Lancenshire, currently in a civil war. So, before settling down the first stone on any official union, we all need a stable situation inside our own countries in terms of politics and human rights."

Maer, decides to talk:
"You are right. The current struggles in our politics could further affect this alliance as a whole and might even cause negative consequences. It will be much better if we wait for a good time to form this alliance."

OoC: this will also give me more time to further improve the UEN factbook I started

[Tricklandia]

"This does not exclude the beginning of profitable trade deals, though. If you need any resource or product from Tricklandia, just ask."
