Posted by: Abattoir Apr 13 2005, 12:29 PM
TO: The esteemed leaders of the Autocrat States, Tiberius Starblayde, Karl Tiresen, and the Nova Roman Imperator

FROM: President Antoine Tariskany, via Building of International Affairs and Domestic Tranquility

Dear Friends,

It has recently come to my attention for the need of something more concrete in our Strategic Alliance of Autocrat States. It is my believe that for our alliance to work in its full, then we need to formulate some guidlines and rules to what may be entered upon by our individual nations. I also believe it is imperative that we handle this situation as quickly as possible, noting the instability which has recently befallen our region. Therefore, I would like to issue this invitation to you honorable men to talk of such things in our capital city of Lavingrad. It is my hope for the meeting to take place in our Building of International Affairs and Domestic Tranquility. The building is very high and our office suites provide an excellent view of the city. Security will be tight, so there is no need to worry about your safety during your stay. We will house you in the presidential suites adjacent to the building in the Minister Hotel. Reply of your anticipated arrival time will allow us to greet you at the Lavingrad International Airport, where you will be escorted to your rooms before we can have dinner, and then get to work. Thank you gentlemen.

Honorably Yours,
Antoine Tariskany

President Antoine Tariskany,

Setting my schedule aside, I believe I can manage a retreat to Lavingrad for a week to help formulate some sort of cohesive charter for our alliance. As you have said I too find it imperative to establish a framework that would aid us in stabilizing the region and regulating our own affairs.

I can be in Abattoir tomorrow, if need be, and stay for however long is required. Nova Roma can run fine without me for sometime, especially in the able hands of Marivs, so there shouldn't be a problem with my absence.

Unfortunately, while your security may be more than adequate for my protection, it is Roman custom to have my Praetorian Guard with me at all time. I hope it's not too much of a problem to house nine extra people. Mind you, they needn't the same luxuries that we might, and are perfectly content with sleeping in some barracks.

Imperator,

Housing your Guard would be no trouble for us, we will be sure to get your men rooms at the Ministry as well. I'm sure Xile and Starblaydia will also be bringing some of their own men for extra security as well, but rest assured we have more than enough room. We will expect you to arrive tomorrow, and I will make sure a car is awaiting your arrival at the airport. I look forward to seeing you Imperator, may your trip be pleasant.

Tiresen wished he still had the raving drunk, President Lauir, to handle these diplomatic situations. As the acting ruler of the realm of Xile, he knew he had to attend.

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

I will be arriving soon, and can stay a maximum of five days. I will have with me a small security detail of six men, as well as two aides and our ambassador to Abattoir. We will cover expenses of all our men while staying in your esteemed nation, but we request a lodging close to the meeting place while we are there.

We agree with your nation on the necessity of a more solid framework for our alliance, and will therefore approach the meeting with an open mind. We do request that the meeting be held in a place of great security, as the conflicts between certain nations are escalating.

Karl Tiresen
Interim-President
Sacrosanct Realm of Xile

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

The aide quickly scanned the dictated message for typographical errors, and sent it immediately to The Building of International Affairs and Domestic Tranquility in Abattoir.

"Okay, take this message down," Tiberius said to a secretary, clearing his throat "'aight Tone, 'sup dude?"

The secretary raised her eyebrows and started with her shorthand.

"It'll be cool to come down to A-to-the-b-Abattoir and chill with the posse, live it up big stylee."

"Two Es in 'Stylee', my Lord?"

"Uh, yeah," Tiberius carried on, "my legal brainiacs have come up with some top -explicitive removed- to put your John Hancock on and we'll all be Kool and the Gang. Signed Ty, Lord-Protector of the whatever. Peace, out."

*****

Offiical Communique:
President Antoine Tariskany,

Greetings Antoine, I hope this message receives you well. Many thanks for your gracious offer to travel to Abattoir, a request which I shall honour in the next few days and I look forward to being in the presence of the other great leaders of our alliance.

My legal department have drawn up a draft treaty to be debated on and signed between our nations to make the Strategic Alliance an official power in the region. I look forward to our historic agreement.

Lord-Protector Tiberius Starblayde
Protectorate of Starblaydia.

Karl Tiresen boarded the second presidential plane in the government air strip for his trip to Lavingrad. The first plane was still in Krytenian custody, a fact that greatly miffed the interim-ruler. They took our president, and one of our most luxurious planes. The bastards.

He had personally cleared the two pilots himself, being members of his own staff - he knew them well. The plane lurched forward, and Tiresen clutched the seat's armrests tightly. He hated that part of the flight.

...After a while, the Abattoiran coastline began to creep towards the plane. He'd be landing within the hour, and he called ahead to Lavinsky's secure line to notify the president.

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 14 2005, 10:26 AM
"Why hello Karl! How are things?" Antoine asked as the Interim-President exited his flight. The man looked a little shaken after the landing, but quickly composed himself.

"All's well on our end, Antoine. Just trying to get the President back. Have the others arrived yet?"

"No, not yet I'm afraid. They should be arriving shortly however. I have some spirits in the car if you would like to partake in them while we wait."

Posted by: Xile Apr 14 2005, 10:30 AM
Karl thought a moment. "Y'know Antoine, I'm not usually much of a drinker. But on occassions like this, I suppose a little indulgence couldn't hurt."

He slid into the car, as his aides and escorts followed behind in a similar car. He moved over a bit to let the delegate to Abattoir, Skylar Avarice, in on the festivities.

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 14 2005, 10:36 AM
Lavinsky poured three glasses of the Penguin Whiskey and handed them to his two guests.

"I'll be sure to send a crate home with you before your departure gentlemen, something to remembers us by, you understand." He stated before taking a drink.

"Excellent year...Oh, by the way Tiresan, I've invited Chairman Warzycha of Kyrentia to attend the meeting."

Posted by: Doujin Apr 14 2005, 03:05 PM
Ki'atra looked over the invite to this conference in Lavingrad, Abattoir and sighed. Picking up the phone she ordered the Empyrean Wraith to be fueled and ready for takeoff to Abattoir with an escort of 15 F-125 Gyrafalcons. After recieving an invite to the confrence from Starblaydia, little time was made to make proper diplomatic contacts.

A message was sent a head via data transmission to the Abattoir Office of International Affairs and Domestic Tranquility, requesting that a military airbase was made secure for the squadron and the Empyrean Wraith to land. Civilian airports were out of the question in regards to Imperial security.

Posted by: Krytenia Apr 14 2005, 09:13 PM
Samuel Warzycha sighed with apprehension. Though he was quite pleasantly surprised to receive an invite to the meeting, however he was taking the prospect with trepidation. His thoughts, though, were disturbed by the voice of his pilot.

"We'll be landing soon, Mr Chairman."

Warzycha picked up the phone, and dialled Tariskany's secure line.

Tyrannvs' plane skidded to a halt along the tarmac of the airport; the fighter escorts altered vectors and heading and proceeded to the nearest Abattoirian air base.

A stairwell ramp extended onto to the runway and five armor clad individuals stepped out with their rifles at the ready. Noticing no immediate threat, they lowered their weapons and formed around the ramp. The Imperator then stepped down from the plane followed by the remaining four of the Praetorian Guard. He looked around, and thought to himself,

"Now where the hell is Tariskany?"

Posted by: Starblaydia Apr 16 2005, 11:49 AM
Starblaydia's VC-25S, their own version of 'Air Force One', touched down gently at Lavingrad Airport, overflown by its escort of Starblaydi FS-23 Nightwing fighters, guarded at the frginges of the Airport by fearsome Abattoiran attack helicopters.

With a fair body of Starblaydi Venators providing extra cover for the Lord-Protector, he stepped off the plane, flanked by Foreign Minister Lord Isaac M.C. Chisoko and Acting-Chief-Quaestor Kevan Fursifio.

Tiberius shielded his eyes from the newfound light and stepped across the tarmac. Behind him, Isaac carried a briefcase, with a very special document inside.

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 18 2005, 11:26 AM
Having everyone safely arrive to "the Building" as it was being called for the time being, the offices of International Affairs and Domestic Tranquility were buzzing with activity. However, the two upper floors were literally shut down for the duration of the meetings so not to disturb the diplomatic processes.

Tariskany looked outside the window of the huge suite at the nation's thriving economic and political capital and smiled.

"I would like to thank you gentlemen for being here today, as we have some important issues to discuss. Tiberius here has something he would like to show us, to give a formality to our loose alliance. I ask that you all be open minded in discussions, and take what you are given. The Krytenia Chairman and Doujin representative will be here upon invitation, in hopes that they will see benefit in joining our cooperation and friendship between nations."

He trailed off momentarily and then continued. "I suppose I've said enough. Tiberius, show us what you've got."

Posted by: Starblaydia Apr 18 2005, 11:53 AM
"Well," Tiberius said, "The Federation of Like-Minded Pansies have their own official treaty, so I thought we needed something to make this arrangement a little more... official. Quaestor Fursifio has the document in question. K'van, if you would,"

Tiberius motioned to K'van, who opened the breifcase and drew out the document.

'TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP, CO-OPERATION AND MUTUAL ASSISTANCE'

Between the Nation of Abattoir, the Empire of Nova Roma, the Protectorate of Starblaydia and the Sacrosanct Realm of Xile.

"Of course," Tiberius said after the reading-out of the document had finished, "we can add Krytenia, Doujin and Nojika to the opening paragraph. The more the merrier. And we can also iron out the typographical errors, which I am rather ashamed of. What do you all think?"

Posted by: Xile Apr 18 2005, 12:03 PM
Tiresen's lawyer/aide had been in the back room with a copy of the pact for quite some time.

Karl thought about cracking a masturbation joke, but realized that it was probably not the correct time or place for such antics.

His lawyer came back after some time, and gave him the run-down.

Tiresen pulled a gold-plated pen from his pocket, enscribed with various mottos and icons from the nation of Xile. He looked down at the document and slowly etched his signature across the paper.

He leaned back and admired it for a moment. Regardless of whether he remained president or not, regardless of whether Adonis ever returned; here was something that he would go down in history for.

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 18 2005, 12:09 PM
Antoine stamped the national seal and slowly etched his name out on the document.

Antoine Mavisko Tariskany

All official looking. He smiled, and looked up at the other delegations and awaited their responses.

Tiberius Starblayde

Signed by the Lord-Protector himself in his usual flowing script, his conception of a Regional Alliance between friendly nations had now come to fruition. The metallic-purple fountain pen, covered gold and filled with the finest ink Starblaydia had to offer was placed delicately back inside his jacket.

With a nod he turned to Quaestor Fursifio. The Inquisition agent pulled a bottle of Starblaydi Vodka out of his long robes, along with enough shot glasses for the leaders from his pockets.

This great day would be celebrated in the correct manner, after all.

Tyrannvs never liked signing anything; his signature beamed a radiance of simplicity, not even cursive, just quickly penned with the air of authority. He looked to the other leaders.

"Very well gentlemen... I believe we can officially celebrate!"

Posted by: Latao Apr 18 2005, 02:55 PM
As the news slowly reach the world outside the hidden offices of the 'autocatic states', the Latin leading feels curious about the new players in the global stage.

The Latin Federation congratulates to the achivement of forming a new allience of your nations. May it bring prosper and success to your countries and the people.

We would however like to know, if you are friendly-minded towards Latao and if I we may consider you as a stable element in the region.

Thank You
Sincerelly, National Executive Committee of Latao

Posted by: Nova Roma Apr 18 2005, 03:19 PM
While I don't speak for my friends here, I can assure you that the nation of Nova Roma regards Latao with the utmost respect. As a nation that endorses laissez-faire capitalism, you are a friend in the eyes of Romans.

(OOC: Doujin's gone, so we dont have to worry on him. Waiting on Nojika and Krytenia if they still want to join, or voice any concerns.)

Posted by: Nojika Apr 18 2005, 08:29 PM
Behind the doors stood the Nojikan representative as well as a goup of four personal gaurds. The first two gaurds, dressed in beautifull blue robes, opened the doors and in walked the Nojikan representative with the two more gaurds following.

The doors were shut and the representative looked up allowing his hood to fall off his head. The reasoning for royal gaurds now made sense. Lord Kahal had made this visit personally to ensure that the national leaders present knew that Nojika would be dedicated to this alliance.

He stepped forward, "My apologies for my late arrival. Grand Moff Kator was unable to attend this meeting due to some domestic affairs. The Emperor has expressed his desire for Nojika to be apart of the Strategic Alliance of Autocratic States and my attendence was requested"

He moved forward to the document on the table. Aftering looking over the document for a moment, he asked, "On behalf of Emperor Brakiss of Nojika." And with that he signed the document.

Lord Kahal then looked up, nodded and moved away from the document saying only, "Nojika is indeed gratefull for your patience. And gratefull for this oppurtunity."

Lord Kahal of Nojika

"Left your pen in the car, eh?" Tiberius chuckled. "And so were are five."

He sipped his vodka slowly.

"Now," he asked, "where is the Krytenian representative? I'm sure I saw a Krytie Airlines plane on the tarmac..."


Posted by: Xile Apr 19 2005, 11:19 AM
Karl sipped from his glass. It was strong stuff, certainly jarring compared to the wines he usually indulged in. He was trying not to get drunk, but he had to drink for show at least. It was... however, some of the best vodka he'd ever had.

"I've heard nothing from the Krytenian representative. He might be worried that I have a gun."

With that, he broke into uncontrollable laughter.

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 19 2005, 11:39 AM
Tariskany smirked and took a sip of his vodka. "I'd like to remind you what city you're in, Karl. See that statue of Aron Lavinsky down there?"

He figured he'd made the man uncomfortable and was ready to see him squirm in his seat a little bit. The chariman still hadn't arrived, he was wondering if there was need for concern.

Posted by: Krytenia Apr 20 2005, 09:40 AM
[OOC: Gun, eh?]

Chairman Warzycha sheepishly entered the room.

"Sorry I'm late," he said, brandishing what looked like an old service revolver from his jacket pocket, "they thought this was an offensive weapon."

He pulled a cigar from his other pocket, and lit it with the "gun".

"So, treaty you say? Let's have a look."

Warzycha took a free seat and pored over the parchment.

"Yes, this looks all in order."

He signed the paper.

Samuel Benedict Warzycha

"Suppose this means we'll have to start being nice to each other, eh Karl?" he chuckled.

Posted by: Starblaydia Apr 20 2005, 11:33 AM
"Gentlemen, these proceedings are cooncluded," Tiberius said, raising his glass, "may i propose a simple toast. To power!"

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 20 2005, 12:21 PM
Antoine threw his glass into the air and shouted along with the rest, "TO POWER!" Falling back in his seat he poured himself another helping of liquor and looked about the room. The five powerful men seated around him made him feel secure. This was the future of the region.

Posted by: Nova Roma Apr 20 2005, 02:01 PM
Tyrannvs raised his glass.

"To power!"


Posted by: Nojika Apr 20 2005, 02:03 PM
With pride, Lord Kahal shouted "To power!"

Posted by: Krytenia Apr 20 2005, 08:01 PM
Joining the rest, Chairman Warzycha raised his glass.

"To Power!"

He then proceeded to drink the vodka. It'd been a while since he'd had the potent Starblaydi version, and he visibly shuddered as he swallowed.

"Smooth," he croaked.

Posted by: Xile Apr 21 2005, 10:14 AM
Karl almost missed a great photo-op.

He hastily raised his glass and yelled 'To Power!'

He quickly downed his vodka and broke into a coughing fit.

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 26 2005, 09:33 PM
Well...considering Xile took care of one of the Lamoni merchant ships...we've got to make sure it's the legit pirates and not the fake ones.

Posted by: Latao Apr 27 2005, 06:21 AM
Before anything is annihilated, we must clearify that we are currently checking, if these so-called "pirates" reside in Latin waters, as we heared they already reached Oceania's south-west.
If this is the case, its a Latao concern.

(IC-Background info: They are welcome to deposit their "profits" on Latin banks)

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 27 2005, 06:55 AM
If they are 20 miles off your coast, they are open game. Once they hit international waters we can use them as target practice if we wish, however we will more than likely loot their ships and then give them public execution.

Posted by: Latao Apr 27 2005, 09:08 AM
Well, that's true, but not before we cashed the recently implemented Pirate Tax tongue.gif

Another problem is, when you blow them up near Latin waters, who cleans up the whole mess that might be flushed to our beaches and who pais that ?

Posted by: Abattoir Apr 27 2005, 09:22 AM
It'll give your liberal enviromental lovers something to do. Those Lamonian's that seem to be penetrating your lands would love to get involved and say that we're killing the earth.

Here's a handy guide:
  • Pirate ship contain booty.
  • Pirate ship gets blown to bits.
  • The booty gets washed ashore.
  • Bright entrepeneurs pick up booty from the beaches.
  • Everyone's a winner, baby.

It never ceases to amaze us how you can run with a whellbarrow full of Rushanas from a Lamonian bank, all the while making less money than if you'd mugged a Starblaydi Senior Citizen on the streets just after they'd cashed their weekly pension cheque.

What makes that worse (for the dumb criminals), is that none of those bank robbers are actually Lamonian. laugh.gif

So for a nation of people where the government takes all their money (for what little its worth) and has a tiny ammount of real cash to spend on its people, probably giving them rubbish services, its foreigners that come into the Free Republic to rob their banks?

I somehow doubt that non-Lamonians are that stupid smile.gif

Considering what the Rushana is worth, and all that we put into education (a lot) I don't think that Lamonians are dumb enough to do that either. wink.gif

$86.7 billion for a 5 billion population, as a quarter of your expenditure.

$6 trillion for a 2.25 billion population, as a little under a sixth (14%) of our expenditure.

You spend loads on education, obviously. Gotta love them all-inclusive non-elitist comprehensives wink.gif

The claim was made as a percentage of our budget.

We put 'almost-nothing' into 'Social Equality' (2%).

Which comes to $870 Billion

Oh wait, hold on, that's more than twice the amount of your entire government budget of $380 Billion. Nevermind, it was a good attempt, I'm sure the Lamonian people believed you.

OOC: Very good, you have mastered arrogance. Is there anything less obvious that you have to show the region? tongue.gif

Latao is getting Nukes from Lamoni. I propose an invasion of Latao to ensure the safety of the SAAS. He has little to no standing army, and his only protection is the ever weakening FLMS. Internal disputes seem to be tearing the organization a part, so I believe now would be as good a time as ever to strike.

With the noticeable absence of our President, who is more in tune with these matters, as well as the growing tension between ourselves and Sarzonia, who see themselves are necessitated into war with us, we will not be able to expend our troops in this endeavor.

We will, however, allow for the use of Xilean bases to launch attacks, as well as any economic, or other types of aid we can possibly provide.
