"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.

"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?"

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. |

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!" |

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 |

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.

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..."

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. |

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. |

[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. |

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. |
