Leskyan Diplomatic Relations Programme [3.0] [OPEN]

Postby Leskya » Mon Dec 14, 2020 7:40 pm


Image People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya
Foreign affairs and diplomatic relations programme

The People's Autonomous Communes are a sovereign community comprising the Horn of Africa and much of the Arabian Peninsula. Governed by the principles of rizomatismo, we have managed to establish a continental system of mutual aid, cooperation, and ecological sustainability, guided by the ideas of Communism; our humanist system has successfully abolished the production of commodities, class structures, and value-form of commerce.

Since our unification, we Leskyans, known commonly as the Nafyites, have been dedicated to our goals of human prosperity through social rewilding, free exchange of information and movement, mutual aid, and the post-civilisation society. In accordance with our pursuit of these ideals, and to establish representative assemblies of free peoples across the multiverse, we open this here diplomatic programme.

Image
On the privileges and status of representatives

It should be understood by the international community that Leskya does not recognise the authority or legislation of the polity known as the World Assembly, and as such, does not abide by its Diplomat Protection Act. Foreign representatives to Leskya are, first and foremost, our guests, regardless of what their official title and role may be. We will treat them with respect, vowing to protect their safety from threats and to ensure their comfort during their stay within our lands. In turn, we expect their equal respect; they come here at our pleasure, and should we feel they have abused their welcome, we retain the full right to demand their leave.
The land occupied by your representatives does not belong to your sovereign polity. Your representatives do not gain any right of immunity from the consequences of their actions. Your weapons, tools, equipment, and individual representatives may be inspected and examined by our residents. Your right to import or export any goods is granted at the pleasures of the local residents and the Desertist Brigades.

Foreign delegations are expected to integrate with our communal system, and we will provide them with all the pleasures enjoyed by our own native communes, with the exception of a guaranteed seat at our assemblies' tables. We will provide your representatives with housing, food, clothing, and any reasonable goods and services should they request such.
Your representatives may be asked to agree to the local komunukodo.

Delegations residing within Naturkomo or Makeo are considered to be 'embassies', and they will be the primary vessels of diplomatic relations between Leskya and the delegated polity. Due to the nomadic nature of the General Council, it is very likely that your representatives will have to travel with us between the two cities; should this be the case, we will, again, provide your representatives with all the aid of our communal system throughout the journey.
Within embassies, there is a maximum capacity of 200 individuals, regardless of role, duties, or tasks assigned unto them by your polity.

Delegations residing elsewhere in Leskya are considered to be 'consulates'. These delegations will be at the pleasures of their respective destinations' communities, communes, and residents. They do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades, and their requirements and treatment of guests will vary from those in the capitals and the General Council; regardless, your representatives will be protected by the local Desertist Brigade, though will only serve at the pleasures of the local communal assemblies.
Within consulates, there is a maximum capacity of 50 individuals, regardless of role, duties, or tasks assigned unto them by your polity.

Image
On representative ontology and jurisdiction

Due to the nature of our stateless system and non-institutionality, the jurisdiction and exact representative basis should be established to avoid confusion.

Embassy delegations are, jointly, your representatives to the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertists and the General Council of Leskya, the de facto 'governmental' body of Leskya and the supreme representative organ for the whole of the Leskyan peoples.

Consular delegations are, however, your representatives to the individual graflandoj and their respective participating communities. They are NOT representatives to the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertists nor to the General Council, and do not function on the same principles.

It is your embassy delegation which can establish agreements with the General Council and the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertists; if you wish these agreements to include individual and sovereign communities within Leskya, your consular representatives must negotiate a seperate agreement with the local graflando.
The following is a brief overview of the details regarding possible and common agreements:

    > Non-Aggression Agreement
    Both signatory parties agree to cease hostilities and normalise relations between each other.

    > Defence Agreement
    Both signatory parties agree to mutual aid of each other in case of an attack on either party by a non-signatory third-party.

    > Cooperative Agreement
    Both signatory parties agree to cooperate in matters specified within the agreement, such as economic, scientific, political, cultural, or military affairs with the understanding of open sharing of information and resources between the two parties in regards to the aforementioned area of cooperation.

    > Freedom of Movement Agreement
    Both signatory parties agree to exempt the residents of the other party from usual border restrictions and regulations and agree to ensure the residents' right of free and safe movement.

Dear General Secretary Altidiya Revoltsova,

I appreciate your wishes to extend diplomatic relations with the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya. I am pleased to tell you that your delegation has been accepted by the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement, a Cooperative Agreement, and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya.

We await the arrival of Fyodor Krasniev and his delegation. Please inform Krasniev that one of the communal hospitals has agreed to provide him with a steady supply of aspirin. Should this prove insufficient for his condition, he can inform the hospital.

Regarding your vehicles: please note that you will have to provide a source of fuel for all your vehicles, as Naturkomo and Makeo do not possess a domestic supply of petrol for usage in motor engines. Should you desire, we can have your vehicles refitted to accept biodiesel or ethanol, both of which are widely available within Leskya.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Krasniev's stay.
To Prime Minister Robert Paisley,

I appreciate your wishes to extend diplomatic relations with the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya. I am pleased to tell you that your delegation has been accepted by the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya. However, I must inform you that your desire for a Cooperative Agreement with the General Council has been denied, on the basis of your free market economy and the conflicting interests of national classes. Apologies for the inconvenience.

We nonetheless await the arrival of Wynn Langlais and his delegation. The delegation will reside in the Albertago kunurbo in Naturkomo and the Levaman kunurbo in Makeo. We apologise that a more specific address format cannot be provided, as Leskya does not implement a traditional postal address system; details regarding retrieval of postage and packages will be provided to Langlais's delegation upon their arrival and settling in.

Regarding your vehicles: please note that you will have to provide a source of fuel for all your vehicles, as Naturkomo and Makeo do not possess a domestic supply of petrol for usage in motor engines. Should you desire, we can have your vehicles refitted to accept biodiesel or ethanol, both of which are widely available within Leskya.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Langlais's stay.
To President Sasha Ryan and Prime Minister Magan Gurxan,

I appreciate your wishes to extend diplomatic relations with the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya. I am pleased to tell you that your delegation has been accepted by the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya.

We await the arrival of Garaad Tosane and his delegation. We likewise believe this will be the beginning of a productive and friendly relationship between our two peoples.

Regarding your vehicles: please note that you will have to provide a source of fuel for all your vehicles, as Naturkomo and Makeo do not possess a domestic supply of petrol for usage in motor engines. Should you desire, we can have your vehicles refitted to accept biodiesel or ethanol, both of which are widely available within Leskya.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Tosane's stay.

Regarding the reciprocal establishment of a Sanghyeok delegation to the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades:

Dear Chairwoman Oomiya,

We warmly welcome your desire to reciprocate our diplomatic relationship between the Leskyan-Sanghyeokian peoples. Needless to say, the delegation has been approved by the General Council, as have been your requests for agreements of Non-Aggression, Defence, and Cooperation.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement, a Cooperative Agreement, and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya. We welcome comrade Kuroshiro with open arms; their special request for Esperanto lessons will, of course, also be provided. I believe the immersion in the language, our Leskyan lingua franca, will certainly accelerate the process.

Your delegation will certainly have plenty of opportunities to observe and study our rizomatismo model. Their access to any local assemblies, including ones within the General Council, will certainly be unhampered and welcomed by their participants. Naturkomo is also currently holding our war games, which should allow your delegates to view some of the less common aspects of our communal system.

Regarding your vehicles: please note that you will have to provide a source of fuel for all your vehicles, as Naturkomo and Makeo do not possess a domestic supply of petrol for usage in motor engines. Should you desire, we can have your vehicles refitted to accept biodiesel or ethanol, both of which are widely available within Leskya.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Kuroshiro's stay.

FEYRIS COUNCIL OF FOREIGN RELAITONS

CHIEF COUNCILORESS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
PEOPLE'S STATE OF FEYRISSHIRE

Dear Leskyan,

We have taken note of your people's well-intentioned path towards communism. Your people has constructed an idealistic and utopian path towards communism, towards the liberation of people, the removal of all exploitation and oppression, and the free unfettered access of goods through the products of one labor - "From each according to his ability to each according to his need."

The rimotazismo rizotazismo rimotamiz the participatory system of governance that your people have made in your ritomatiz community is truly become a model for a democracy truly run by the workers. The system of decentralized governance in the form of communes also is an exemplary model for the furthering of true and genuine democracy, with the opinions of one and each one taken into account in administration, ensuring that no one will be left behind.

Truly are the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya a friend to the People's State of Feyrisshire! The people of Leskya is a friend in a United Front towards a joint struggle towards the attainment of Communism - where its enlightening and shining ideals hold true, bright, shiny and beautiful as light - towards a path towards the abolition of the exploitation of labor, oppression, ecological sustainability and free unfettered access to goods for all.

The People's State of Feyrisshire however does not fully agree with the methods taken by your people. While the systems of participatory governance have already been present in the proletarian democracy of Feyrisshire and in the faerie catgirl Commune, for if one is to defend against the reactionary and capitalist forces would one be automatically be able to create a state, despite the fact that it is renamed into a "Commune"? A utopian and idealistic path is a well-intentioned one, but one would be changed in the arduous wave of material conditions.

We would like to announce that we would want to make Embassy in Leskya.

Here is our Application Form below.

In the desert we request a safe place from hostile attacker and dangerous wild animals (we have already prepared Mosin-Nagant rifles for protection), a place with a fresh source of water such as a well and a place to hitch our camels. We will provide our own electric generator and don't worry we will provide fabric to build the tents ourselves. We will put AC in our tents and we will aid the friendly Bedouin natives. We hope to meet a Genie in a lamp + beautiful belly-dancer.

Dear Secretary Clara Ludwig,

I warmly welcome your reciprocal diplomatic delegation, and the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades have, of course, approved and accepted this exchange of representatives. The People's Autonomous Communes are buzzing with excitement regarding this internationalist development.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement, a Defence Agreement, a Cooperative Agreement, and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya.

We await the arrival of Maria and her delegation, and have prepared a welcoming accommodation in anticipation of her.

An important note: I have ensured that a source of electricity will be wired to your embassy headquarters in Naturkomo and Makeo, providing power to both your building(s) and for usage in charging your vehicles. However, the local communal residents have asked me that this be a temporary agreement, as opposed to a permanent resolution, and petition the Prinz delegation to come forward and organise an agreement with the local communities themselves regarding the providing of electricity.
I have been assured that this action is not an act of aggression, but one which seeks to integrate your delegation better with our residents and solidify the friendship between our two peoples in the realm of the real.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Prinz's stay.
To the First Secretary, William Raven

I appreciate your wishes to extend diplomatic relations with the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya. However, I must notify you that this request for a diplomatic representation and creation of a relationship between our communal system and your government has been denied.

The General Council and the Desertist Brigades do not recognise the forces of imperialism and hegemony and will never allow agents of such horrid systems to step foot on Leskyan soil.

We stand in solidarity of the various peoples of the Astares Amauricanum and urge them to fight against the yolk of the decadent Keisaer & Keisaerina.

Regarding the establishment of a Feyrisshire delegation to the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades:

Dearest Chief Counciloress,

True indeed, the Feyrisshire peoples are comrades-in-struggle with the peoples of Leskya. Your desire to establish an embassy post within Leskya, representing your government and people to the General Council and the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades is, of course, warmly welcomed by us, and has already been approved by the General Council to commence creation.

The rizomatismo system, cherished and defended by Leskyans across the lands, is, I admit, not without faults. Yet, as all systems of social relations, it is eternally evolving, never backwards, never subject to counter-revolution and always progressing through the dialectic. Your concerns are not without merit; many a times have the forces of reaction, both within and without Leskya, attempted to forcefully disband the communal system.

Despite this, the Leskyan peoples remain proudly in solidarity with one another, defending against the back-stabbing and oppressive ways of the old order. The Desertist Brigades are the vanguards of the revolution, and do not shy away from fighting the forces of imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism. The roots of these weeds will not grow under our rhizomatic watch!

I must clarify a certain misconception of yours regarding our system: Democracy. We are vehemently anti-democratic, and have always been against so-called 'forces of democracy'. As communists, it is our duty and honour to destroy the bourgeois ideal of democracy. The concept is fundamentally opposed to communism, a phenomenon inherently linked to the bourgeois revolutions of the Old Enlightenment and its political systems, fully incompatible with the humanist concerns of communism. Our goals are not to create a 'true form' of democracy. We forsake the remnants of bourgeois ideology, as well as its concepts of social relations and forms of production - we are anti-democratic, and have always been such.

As our slogan declares: to Hell with Democracy!

The arrival of Shyeinyie Furry is much-anticipated here in Naturkomo, and although it saddens us to hear of her departure so soon, we understand that the duties of your system require certain bureaucratic honours. Of course, we will treat the replacement charge d'affairs of your embassy with equal respect and friendship, and do not feel the titles of your representatives to be of much concern.

I am impressed by your peoples willingness to so quickly adapt to the modes of our peoples, as seen by the unusual abandonment of motor vehicles in favour of camel-riding, and applaud this show of cultural solidarity. Should any of your representatives require a few lessons in the care of these beautiful creatures, the peoples of Naturkomo & Makeo will be more than happy to provide such an education.

Regarding safety from 'the wilderness' of our lands and hostile persons, I can assure you that both Naturkomo & Makeo are some of the most secure places in all of Leskya. The NM Desertist Brigades, with communal support of local arms, will protect your delegation against our enemies. The current conflict with our northern neighbours of the Nile and the fascistic vault-dwellers of Yehuda is a distant one, and does not significantly worry the residents of neither Naturkomo nor Makeo; it should not distress your delegates, either.

Nonetheless, you are obviously entitled to arms and weaponry to defend yourselves against any perceived threats, and such will be provided upon your arrival. Unfortunately, we have not been able to track down any AK-47 rifles, as most have been lost to the sands of time. We hope that the AK-19, a rifle commonly utilised by our Desertist Brigades, will be a satisfactory replacement.

I wish you luck with your search for a genie.

Pacon al vi.

"In truth and solidarity, Australia advances"





From the Secretariat of the Federal Consolidated Syndicate for Consulic Affairs, January 13th, 2024

The Secretariat of the Federal Consolidated Syndicate for Consulic Affairs submits the following application for the reciprocation of consulic relations on the behalf of the Commonwealth of Syndic Australia, pursuant to the approved application for consulic relations by the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya on December 7th, 2023. The Secretariat acknowledges and apologises for the delay in reciprocation, due largely to the annual holiday season in effect in Australia in late December, but also due to discussion and collaboration with the Federal Consolidated Syndicate for Academic Affairs, as shall be expanded upon within the attached application.


People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya
Official diplomatic relations request form
Section A
General information


Full nation name: The Commonwealth of Syndic Australia
Short nation name: Australia
Population: 34.91m
Economic structure: Syndicalism
Political structure: Federal Parliamentary Syndicalist Republic
Section B
Primary delegation - Embassy

This delegation represents: The Government - and by extension citizens - of Australia, collectively.
Current leadership of the represented polity: Prime Minister Gene O'Caelleigh of the Industrial Labor Party; the State Council
Purpose for diplomatic representation: Tripartite: To reciprocate consulic relations as previously established by Leskya, to facilitate the active study of the socio-political systems of Leskya, and to engage in cultural exchange.

Name of head of embassy delegation: Cz. Mariam Eid, F.C.S C.A.
Date of birth: April 17th, 1991
Accompanying family members: None, at present

Diplomatic staff: 7 Adjunctary staff, plus Cz. Eid
Security staff: 5
Service staff: 7
Vehicles: The consulic delegation shall use whatever means of transport are available to them within Leskya.
Weapons: Every member of the delegation shall be equipped with a semi-automatic or bolt-action rifle for defensive purposes, provided this does not conflict with local law. Typically, the Australian-made Owens AD-6 Semi Automatic Rifle is assigned to foreign missions, but alternatives will be used at the request of the hosting nation. In addition, security staff shall be equipped with side-arms; pistols and a selection of non-lethal weaponry (i.e. batons)
Section C
Secondary delegation(s) - Consular
Please leave this section blank if not applying for a consular delegation; copy its contents if applying for multiple locations.

List of graflandoj of Leskya
Desired location of delegation: Various; the Federal Consolidated Syndicate of Academic Affairs has requested to dispatch its own delegation in addition to the primary consulic delegation under Cz. Eid. The intent of this additional consulic contingent is primarily academic in nature; to study and experience the socio-political systems of Leskya, and to conduct non-invasive archaeological surveys (should this be permitted by the relevant authorities). As such, this secondary delegation would be transient in nature, and appreciate direction by the relevant authorities as to which graflandoj would be the most appropriate for its purposes. It would also fulfil consulic purposes.

Name of head of delegation: Dr. Mordechai Benashur, F.C.S. A.A.
Date of birth: 22nd November 1972
Accompanying family members: None

Diplomatic staff: 3
Security staff: 8

NS Stats are mostly accurate except for a few things, like this nation is capitalist and the death penalty isn't in effect

News:All trade with Crabaiaia and Pikala has stopped as diplomats meet in Trenaka.  Silvedanians are confused by Quentin Tarantulatino's new film, Seasonal Snackbox(This is a Bojack Horseman reference.) Weird song goes viral for making no sense.

Dear PM Gene O'Caelleigh,
CC: State Council of Australia

The people of Leskya stand in solidarity with the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and the mustaʿmirūn peoples who seek not to dominate the ancient continent but to live in harmony with its nature and native folk. Although our ideas of socialism differ widely, the international proletariat knows no nation, and this exchange of diplomatic delegations only strengthens the bond between humanity.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement, and a Cooperative Agreement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya. We again reaffirm our mutual treaty of freedom of movement for our two peoples.

Your desired defence weapon arsenal does not conflict with the komunukodo of the Naturkomo or the Makeo kunurboj. The komunkodo-bonega of the General Council affirms your right to defend yourselves from perceived threats during your stay in Leskya, but urge you to work with the local communities on defence, safety, and exchange of ideas & tactics regarding both.

We await the arrival of Mariam and her delegation, and have prepared a welcoming accommodation in anticipation of her.

To Shona Durs,

I appreciate your wishes to extend diplomatic relations with the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya. I am pleased to tell you that your delegation has been accepted by the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya. However, I must inform you that your desire for a Cooperative Agreement with the General Council has been denied, on the basis of your free market economy and the conflicting interests of national classes. Apologies for the inconvenience.

We nonetheless await the arrival of Gadell Nayka and his delegation.

Regarding your vehicles: I have ensured that a source of electricity will be wired to your embassy headquarters in Naturkomo and Makeo, providing power to both your building(s) and for usage in charging your vehicles. However, the local communal residents have asked me that this be a temporary agreement, as opposed to a permanent resolution, and petition the Nayka delegation to come forward and organise an agreement with the local communities themselves regarding the providing of electricity.

I have been assured that this action is not an act of aggression, but one which seeks to integrate your delegation better with our residents and solidify the friendship between our two peoples in the realm of the real.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Nayka's stay.

To PM Oisin Pryor,

I appreciate your wishes to extend diplomatic relations with the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya. I am pleased to tell you that your delegation has been accepted by the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya.

Regarding the establishment of a Syndic Australia academic delegation.

State Council and PM Gene O'Caelleigh:

I am most humbled by your government's desire to study the social systems of Leskya. As the highest officer of the Leskyan Cultural Association, a mass society of anthropologists, cultural creators, humanists, and others involved in the formal study and participation within the cultural sphere of the whole of Leskya, I have been elected to represent the Leskyan peoples in regards to the establishment of an academic consulate between Leskya and your government.

In the interest of furthering cultural, social, and political development and foreign understanding of the Leskyan systems, I hereby accept your request for such a consulate. Although I am not a member of any single commune - a position which your people will soon understand to be a specialecoj - our mass society retains connections and agreements with over 9,000 individual communal authorities, as well as countless more with the various kunurboj and graflandoj of Leskya. I am pleased to assure you that your delegation will be welcomed by all of our associated communal friends.

With this, your delegation will have to adapt to our ways during their time of stay - namely, the semi-nomadic nature of Leskyan communities. I understand you have already agreed to utilise the transport ways of Leskya, so this should not be an issue.

As for your weapons, and further, the extent of your studies, that will have to be agreed upon by the communities you visit and desire to study. I am unable to
guarantee that all communities will allow you to perform the same activities as elsewhere within Leskya - such as Naturkomo & Makeo - as the nature of komunukodo is varied and broad within Leskya. Perhaps, in a paradoxical way, this will aid you in your studies of Leskyan socio-political relations.

I wish luck to Dr. Mordechai Benashur and his companions. May Allah bless you with success.

Additional requests: Hail, Yaniv Yathmir. It's been too long since we've last spoken, and so I figured I might as well amend that error permanently. Hence our people's first foray into the sort of diplomacy that others seem to value, for whatever reason. I trust that we do not pose too much of an offense to your people's sensibilities. I do have some comments, though.

Firstly, on the matter of our weapons- or, rather, yours, I fear. We will not require much protection on your part, as Eivudri has expressed her intent to quite literally bring her entire band with her to wherever you choose to set her down. However she has also asked that she be provisioned with some sort of firearms for her protection. I don't know why she'd possibly fear for her safety among a people that we have no cause to fear but I think it's best to humor her, if it's not too much of a burden. Only the hunters would need to be armed, and I've taken the initiative to label them as her security staff already.

I apologize if this isn't filled out correctly, it's my first time writing anything, really. I don't mean to cause you any trouble. I would come myself, but I'm busy with... things... so... good health to you as always, Yathmir. I hope that these delegates won't reflect poorly on my people in their time with you.

Regarding the establishment of a Lorranian delegation to the Savano Paktkonsilio and Public Committee:

To the Government and Leadership of the People's Republic of Lorrana:

It is my understanding, and the understanding of this Public Committee, that it is your desire to create a cordial relationship between your government and my people. Although I am highly sceptical of your true intentions, and I will remain stalwart in my resistance towards all statist tendencies of your kind, it is the decision of the Public Committee that such a relationship is not dangerous and, indeed, likely beneficial to our people.

As such, your request to establish a so-called 'consulate' within the kunurbo of Adis-Abebo is hereby granted.

Understand that your kin do not have permission from this Public Committee to leave the approximate borders of Adis-Abebo. I have the support of the Savano Desertist Brigades when I say that any member of your delegation discovered in unwanted places will be arrested - such an occurrence will, almost certainly, result in an immediate removal of your delegation from our lands and a permanent soiling of this relationship.

Your vehicles are not granted entrance to our lands. As of the current situation, we do not desire to use our own resources, time, and effort to maintain your motor vehicles, regardless of how fancy-shmancy their electric engines might be.

Accommodation has been procured for Akahar Noss and the rest of your delegation.

Watchful eyes.

My friend and comrade,

I agree, it's been far too long since we spoke. I hope you are well, and that you're still keeping the Berghi bastards on their toes.

Your delegation is warmly welcome, as always, and it should not have to be said that the Desertist Brigades accept your proposed agreements. I understand that Eivudri might be a bit warier of us than someone from your own band, and that's to expect - I can't fault her for some concern regarding a people from such a different world. Nevertheless, she will be treated as one of our own, as will the rest of her band.

As for her request, it will be met. I've asked some of my friends stationed in Naturkomo to take her and her hunters for a spin around their barracks and storage, so that she may pick whatever it is she deems necessary for her comfort. I expect that she might need some education on how to handle our weapons, and so have taken the pleasure of organising some training out in the desert - I'll attend, too, of course, so that she doesn't die of paranoia when a bunch of strange people with bags of guns walk her to a shack in the middle of nowhere.

Although your people are more accustomed to equine friends, and of course, should they prefer, I'm happy to accommodate their horses, I personally recommend switching to camels for the duration of their stay; I find camels tend to fair much better in this sort of climate, generally speaking.
Expert riders such as yourselves shouldn't have much of an issue adjusting to the camel, although it'll certainly be fun watching your people try to tame such beasts of attitude.

On a less professional note: you ought to visit sometime. The dunes here are something you need to see in person in order to grasp their beauty, and it'd give us an opportunity for a much-needed catch-up. Plenty of things have happened since we last rode together.

Sky-Mother loves her sons!

To Umar Salindang and Abdulradzak Abdulhakim,

I appreciate your wishes to extend diplomatic relations with the People's Autonomous Communes of Leskya. I am pleased to tell you that your delegation has been accepted by the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya. However, I must inform you that your desire for a Cooperative Agreement with the General Council has been denied, on the basis of your free market economy and the conflicting interests of national classes. Apologies for the inconvenience.

We nonetheless await the arrival of Ayyub Gamulang and their delegation.

Please note that your request for consular representation in Makeo has been declared nullified, as the graflando in Makeo is engaged in a representative union with the General Council of Leskya, and as such, separate delegations are not required for communications with the residents of Makeo and its territories. Nonetheless, should you wish, you may send a delegate under Ayyub Gamulang to be tasked as viceroy to the people of Makeo specifically.

Regarding your vehicles: please note that you will have to provide a source of fuel for all your vehicles, as Naturkomo and Makeo do not possess a domestic supply of petrol for usage in motor engines. Should you desire, we can have your vehicles refitted to accept biodiesel or ethanol, both of which are widely available within Leskya.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Gamulang's stay.

Dear Chairman Anatoli Piesiyackiya,

I warmly welcome your reciprocal diplomatic delegation, and the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades have, of course, approved and accepted this exchange of representatives. The People's Autonomous Communes are buzzing with excitement regarding this internationalist development.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya. However, I must inform you that your requests for a Defence Agreement and a Cooperative Agreement have been denied; in spite of our ideological similarities, your nation's capitalist relations to the means of production and its class antagonisms prevent us from sharing such friendships with you.

We hope that one day your peoples unshackle themselves and commit fully to the socialist cause.

We await the arrival of Janette and her delegation, and have prepared a welcoming accommodation in anticipation of her.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Edwin's stay.

Dearest Shaira Alumoni,

I warmly welcome your reciprocal diplomatic delegation, and the Naturkomo-Makeo Desertist Brigades have, of course, approved and accepted this exchange of representatives. The People's Autonomous Communes are buzzing with excitement regarding this internationalist development.

Your requests for a Non-Aggression Agreement, a Cooperative Agreement, and the establishment of Freedom of Movement have been approved by the General Council of Leskya.

I have informed the Public Committee in Sablrando of your government's desire to extend the diplomatic branch to their peoples. They have told me that they have approved your request to establish a Defence Agreement, a Non-Aggression Agreement, and Freedom of Movement with their graflando; you should expect an official detailed telegram from one of their representatives shortly.

We await the arrival of Jacob and his delegation, and have prepared a welcoming accommodation in anticipation of him.

We do not take responsibility for any environmental damages which may occur to your vehicles during Jacob's stay.
