Peace Convention at Tangola Island (OOC, MT, Tutorial RP)

[Doppio Giudici]

Come to Beautiful Tangola Island! Meet Others! Shake Hands! Demonstrate Defense Forces!

This is the Island of Tangola, which is a beautiful and friendly island that is neutral ground! Island has own security team, on top of a contract with Alpha Security Global, and connections with the WA Peacekeepers. High quality, four star hotels dot around beautiful lake great for fishing or boating! You ask, why not 5 star? Tangola is meeting place for nations both liberal and conservative, orderly and disorderly, rich and poor. If we have four star hotel, many nations can afford to come and increase the fun! You don't want fun? You want serious discussion about regional or global issues? No problem, Tangola will take all of the fun and put it in the closet. You say beautiful local girls are distracting? No problems! Tangola will ask local beautiful girls to politely avoid you and spend time working on important law degree.

Tangola is beautiful island, but it only has around twenty hotel rooms per visiting nation, enough for diplomats, staff, and security.

However, Tangola has sponsored military parade and demonstration, with prizes of 10,000 rifles adorned with beautiful Lazarus-style paintjob for second place. First place gets trophy, 20,000 beautiful painted rifles, and 200,000 gallons of cellulose ethanol! To enter this contest, just show bring one company of about 100 average soldiers from your nation, complete with vehicles they get around in. Bring enough rations and tents for them. Tangola has impressive field kitchens and can make thousands of hot meals an hour, but please don't rely on that too heavily, as cooks get tired!

You interested in Excitement? What about completely unexciting and serious meetings? If either of these things, or both, fill out simple paperwork! We look forward to exciting fun times or very serious, professional meetings.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Diplomatic Convention and Martial Display—Convention and Parade Applications Submission

Pursuant to the warmly fraternal extension of invitation from representatives of the Tangolan Tourism Ministry, it is my distinct pleasure hereby formally to extend notification of acceptance. Let this communiqué henceforth be regarded as official affirmation of the entrance into dialogue between our governments on the matters herein pertaining to a Tangolan diplomatic conference, and adjoining military parade.

Resolved unanimously to match the illustrious occasion with the distinguished level of reply warranted by your government’s notable enterprise, the Steadfast Cabinet has determined that the following delegates will join the assemblage. Embracing the wisdom of your government—which manifestly hopes to engender multiple avenues for dialogue by combining civilian and military personnel—we likewise aim to juxtapose the political and professional elements of the diplomatic contingent in parallel. Therefore, standing for the democratic political component of a just polity, the Hon Mr Daniel Cholmondeley, Minister of State for Lazarene Affairs, will represent the government in his official capacity with the purview of enhancing intra-regional ties. From the professional career servants of the Union, His Steadfast Majesty’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Most Serene Republic of Mzeusia, the Ambassador Anne-Marie Torry will embark as chief of the Foreign Service officers.

Continuing this innovative spirit of the creation of hybrid detachments, as so fruitfully applied above, could, however, cause one to get carried away with the formation of an unprecedented combined-arms company. Ergo, reassuringly for traditionalists, the Steadfast Armed Forces can rest in the easy certainty that Esterhaven Company, Fifth Battalion, The Royal Sertian Regiment will give a good account of themselves, led by the redoubtable Major Robert Mowat. One of the few companies to be honoured with a distinguishing appellation beyond the usual alphabetic designation, Esterhaven Company took their accolade with rare élan, and can draw upon a yet more extensive history of excellence, up to its aforementioned present capable leadership. With this august mixture of pioneering and proven facets, the government of Steadfastness has every confidence of a resounding venture.

Our Steadfast King would that I convey to you his most distinguished and cordial felicitations, to accompany his goodwill and hopes for burgeoning friendship in relations between our governments and peoples. His committed desire is to comprehensively deepen, expand, and cement this developing covenant of common understanding, reliance, and support—which is the irreplaceable golden thread that girds the international order through shared experiences that, in turn, entwine the fortunes of sympathetically aligned states in closer comradeship. Inspired thus by his expression of confident amity and mutual co-operation, it delights me to discharge this letter with my deep affection for the Tangolan nation and people, and their benevolent rulers.


Yours faithfully,

JOHN

Office of Hon Mr Daniel Cholmondeley
HM Minister of State for Lazarene Affairs
Longcourt, Eldon
10th of January 2020

Dear Sir or Madam,

Logistical Arrangements—Diplomatic Convention and Martial Display

Permit me first to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the generous actions of your government, as well as to impress the depth of my hope that our mutual profit only pales in comparison to the magnificent bounty our fellow states will reap in our coming partnership.

Certain matters arising from the upcoming visit to Tangola require addressing. First, we think it prudent to appraise your authorities with certain information. Secondly, there are a number of questions we have before advancing arrangements.

Our diplomatic contingent consists of six persons. Minister for Lazarene Affairs, Daniel Cholmondeley, who is the nominal head of the mission; Ambassador Anne-Marie Torry; myself, the Minister’s Chief of Staff; the Personal Secretary to the Ambassador, Henry Valle; Third Secretary Amanda Sandman, a diplomatic officer; and the Military Attaché, Commodore Rupert Shawcross. Dependent on your response, this number would rise to eight, with the inclusion of two airmen. None of these would be security officers, none armed. Amanda Sandman is allergic to penicillin family of antibiotics, and I am allergic to eggs. We would request bed and board in Liberty Hotel, about which we hear great things.

Regarding Esterhaven Company’s arrangements, the Ministry of Defence requests that I pass on confirmation that it is entirely comprised of volunteers, in keeping with the regular forces of the Steadfast Armed Forces. The parade will be executed with rifles loaded with magazines that do not contain ammunition. However, for use strictly in extremis, we seek to supply two magazines for each of the 108 soldiers, and ammunition to fill them, plus a margin for operational losses. This totals 220 magazines, and 6600 rounds. Additionally, we would transport 108 pistols with 120 magazines and five swords. Esterhaven Company will not arrive with vehicles.

To reach Tangola, we would like to know whether it would be feasible to travel by large airlift aeroplane, or if alternative maritime arrangements should be made. The two aircrew would account for the additional hotel billets. Further, the Company Quartermaster Sergeant enquires about whether it is possible for the company to purchase its food and water from local suppliers, to be prepared in the field canteens they intend to bring. Otherwise, we can provide to airdrop rations.

Thank you for your assistance; I look forward to your answers, and to meeting your reception soon.


Yours faithfully,

DAVID

From: Tangolan Tourism Ministry

Subject: Your Concerns

We typically keep a strong supply of what is known here as "Bubblegum AntiBiotic" or "Bab", which is the brand. We were tempted to tell you that you would be fine, but we have found out that the name of the medication is Amoxicillin, and you are allergic to it as well. As such, we will be pressing a metal bracelet that says not to give you Bab or penicillin, which we would prefer to be worn by anyone allergic to Bab or penicillin. As for the egg allergy, we have decided to completely banish eggs from the Freedom Hotel and the main meeting area. We had to hire a few cooks to instruct those here about a wide range of dishes that are like those that use egg, but they don't use egg. To insure that the odds of you needing to use an antibiotic are low, we have sent teams into the jungle to check for anything that might need to be sprayed with insecticide or blasted with antibiotics a few days before you get here. We had one staff member who had a slight sore throat and needs to be on Bab two more days, but otherwise they are fine, so we moved them from the Freedom Hotel to the Capital Hotel for now.

Due to the fact you choose to not bring your own security team, we are assigning you one. They will be 50% fully prepared for mild riot duties and 50% prepared for assassination attempts. They can stand outside the doors of your hotel rooms or keep watch in a room right next door, but they will be working 8.1 hour shifts day and night. Overall, you will have 60 men and women alternating around your sent group, at least 20 at any given time. Each shift will show up 6 minutes before a change, so that there is no point in time where there is a vulnerability in our security.

If you have any other needs or questions, we are available to reach as always.
