For generations, they lived in silence. The Ratleans had inhabited the island for who-knows-how-long, occasionally gaining contact with the outside world, but barely enough for the world to notice. the Island was peacably ruled by the Culenkari. Prince Culenkari I, the Great Uniter of the Ratlean tribes, kept the people happy, and all stayed quiet for most of the time, until now...
Culenkari VII sat in his office, debating how to word his coming announcments. He knew that to say what he was would generate interest among the region, but potentially fear among his own people. He was going to have to word this carefully, and was going to need help. He called in his cousin, Jana Princeps, also his press liason, to make sure it was entirely accurate.
Finally, the statements were ready. The first was released, with the Culenkari Seal, to the Town Leaders and the Ratlean Press.
QUOTE | Friends,
Today shall be a monumental day for the Island Nation of Ratlea. For today, we shall make our existence known to the world! Now, I know some of you may be worried, as the world is a very large place. But fear not, as we shall come to the world in full peace. If anything, our chance to learn more of the world cultures in a way more than what television allows may be a good thing for us.
We shall keep you informed of any future developments.
With Pride, Passion, and Power,
Culenkari VII |
the second was addressed to the leaders of various nations in Atlantian Oceania. As far as they knew, they had the locations of all of them...

To my fellow National Leaders,
This is Prince Culenkari VII, sending you my greetings from Ratlea! I know we've been silent through most of our history, but we have decided that it is the time to at least make ourselves known. We hope that we can come to learn each other's cultures and customs, and prosper in the process. I have foriegn ambassadors ready to travel to any nation which would like to meet in person.

The statements were transmitted to the appropriate locations, as Culenkari waited for a response.

Patriarch Khara,
Thank you for the kind reply. I have dispatched a member of my foriegn minstry, by the name of Alex Davis-Princeps to be welcomed. Likewise, we would welcome a member of the Khazaronian delegation here in Aldinn City. If anything, I may have a nice future home for him just off of Lake Tirimzu.
Yours,
Prince Culenkari |

From: Nicholas “Thor” Thornton, CEO, Asgard Technologies To: Prince Culenkari VII, Principality of Ratlea
Though I cannot speak on behalf of all—or even most—of the people of Commerce Heights, on behalf of the employees of Asgard Technologies, I welcome you to the rest of the world.
Since your nation is almost entirely uncharted by outsiders, we would like to send an expedition of sixty-four scientists to explore it. Among other things, their mission would be to find out what valuable resources your people have, and if it would be possible for us to negotiate an arrangement to obtain something that may be of use in our products. The technical details of this arrangement may be determined at a later time.
I hope this expedition can set the stage for many mutually beneficial trades between our people and yours. |

From: Matthew Stone, President, Free Republic of Lamoni
We have recieved your ambassador, and he is being very helpful in determining the location for a Ratlean embassy in the Free Republic. We are sending our ambassador to your nation (James McCollugh) as previously indicated.
I am presently busy with many things that require my attention, but I would enjoy having a chance to tour your island sometime, if that meets with your approval.

We thank you for your gift of an ambassador to our nation. He has just recently arrived and we are currently setting him up with a rather nice estate in our government sector in Archon City. If either he or your government need anything further from us, please do not hesitate to bring your request to our attention.
As for the Khazaronian Embassy in Ratlea, we have dispatched Mr.Maxwell Turan with a small delegation of staff. May this be the first of many peaceful transactions between our two sovereign nations.
Signed, James Khara Patriarch Dominion of Khazaron |

Your Majesty,
On behalf of President Drax and the people of Hypocria I too welcome the Principality of Ratlea to the world stage. We have a number of free embassies currently in Hypocrium and would be honoured if you would consider sending a Ratlean delegation to Hypocria.

Prince Culenkari VII, The Principality of Ratlea
Your Highness,
On behlaf of Lord-Protector Tiberius Starblayde may I welcome your desicion to bring Ratlea into the International Arena. We feel an embassy exchange program between our two nations would be invaluable.
Regards,
Lord Isaac M.C. Chisoko Foreign Minister, Protectorate of Starblaydia
P.S. Our complements on your national flag, though there is a little too much red in that purple for our liking |

The Prince's corresponding team had much to do on this afternoon. After receiving telegrams from both the Hypocrians and the Starblaydi, appropriate responses were needed. After they were typed, the Culenkari looked over, approving and signing both letters. He also took the moment to forward Starblaydia's comments to his father, who had taken an interest in Southern Starblaydian culture.
The documents were then sent out in the appropriate manner:
CODE | Director Borada,
Greetings from Aldinn City! On behalf of the Culenkari, we are glad to invite a Hypocrian delegation to our quaint little island. We have accomodations avaialable, which I hope your team will be satisfied with. In addition, our foriegn affairs office is preparing a small delegation for travel to Hypocria, as a sign of good faith. May your travels be enjoyable, and your day a fine one.
Yours,
Marcus Williams Corresponding Secretary Principality of Ratlea |
CODE | Lord Chisoko,
Thank you for your kind response, and wonderful offer. I am interested in making a personal visit, and have sent a small delegation to prepare for my eventual arrival. If you could prepare them in the proposed location of the Ratlean Embassy, I will greatly apprecate it. In return, we have a series of locations ready for any delegation that you and the Lord-Protector wish to send, including a permanent embassy in a scenic location near the Inner City of Aldinn City.
Lastly, as a first sign of cultural exchange, please accept the following shipments as well: 2 full cases of our locally-brewed specialty, Honey Bear Ale. It is a personal favorite of mine, and I hope that Tiberius enjoys it as well.
Yours,
Prince Culenkari VII
Principality of Ratlea |
