The Dominion of Kingdom of Saint Paul | The Unofficial Africa Delegate "Debate" [OOC] Concerning: Roentgenia Lunar sand Vaspartama Mesothallania Bro Kinaba Navoj Dazpoly After being reached out to by Bro Kinaba, and receiving the input of two more candidates, I am happy to say that I will be hosting an unofficial Africa Delegate "Debate". This is not related to my official position as an Observer Mod and is not an official part of the campaign through the Moderation Team. Due to how diverse this region is (one of our many strengths), a live debate is difficult to organise, especially with so many candidates. Because of this, what I'll be doing instead is sending people a set of ten questions, plus one question submitted by every candidate should they wish, at a random time tomorrow (for fairness). Needless to say, participation isn't required, but if you want to build a profile among Africa's citizens as a Delegate candidate, this is your chance. I'll leave some 12+ hours for people to get back to me with questions, and then you'll have until 12:00 UTC on Saturday to respond. I'll then make a dispatch comparing each candidate's responses. Just a few quick rules:
This is a bit of an experiment, so I hope it goes well! If you have any questions, please telegram me or DM on Discord. Hopefully this can be a chance for candidates to boost their own platforms, not attack others's. Bless the rains! | |

The United States of Mesothallania | Post: Alexander Ironside Campaigns in Montgomery, Alabama Alexander Ironside appeared today walking from the city limits of Montgomery Alabama. His campaign team established that he started walking from the city limits at around nine o’clock in the morning and walked [most of] the same route that was taken during the Selma to Montgomery Marches in 1965; it took Mr. Ironside about five hours to complete the distance while in the direct sun. He concluded the walk at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, where he later made a speech about half an hour after arriving at the scene. Here are the excerpts from the speech he made that is being circulated around many news stories: “ Thank you for gathering here today on the steps of the historic Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church. This is more than just a location; it is a symbol of hope, resilience, and the unwavering fight for justice. It was here that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired a movement that would change the course of our nation, leading countless individuals toward a future filled with possibility. Thank you, Montgomery. Let’s make history together! | |
The Kingdom of Awellian Islands | Venice: A Beacon of History and Innovation Ever since the city of Venice has become a World Heritage Site, tourism has been booming while more and more people are moving into the city to buy a home and live there. The anti-flooding measures in Venice which have been installed by the government is an excellent example of the growing innovation within the city. Of course, tourism must be sustainable though, so cruise ships are required to dock on the mainland instead of the actual city of Venice which is a few hundred meters away. Additionally, tourists visiting the city must pay a compulsory sustainability tax to enter amounting to $5 a day. Tourists who are staying overnight for one night or more are eligible to opt for a full refund of their $5 a day tax. This will help stimulate the local economy, make tourism sustainable, and generate revenue. There are ongoing projects to build multiple parks around the periphery of the city in order to reduce the flooding in the city and to provide tourists and citizens with ample green space. There will be wellness and recreation facilities in the parks as well. | |
The Democratic Republic of Roentgenia | I have seen a lot of comments about me in the other candidates' campaigns. And I have decided what they are saying is true and maybe I'll be back after a few years in the next election. I must say, I have gained a lot of constructive feedback from this. After hours of groveling about whether I should release a campaign, I have decided that it is better to back off than to lose by a margin of 200 votes. Bless the Rains Bro Kinaba and Indiaxxx | |

The Dominion of Kingdom of Saint Paul | Building NAP Connections Not every foreign ministry believes in the concept of the non-aggression pact. But the times of the world have dictated it to be a necessity for the Kingdom of Saint Paul. The nation, though in political deadlock, has been working tirelessly to advance itself in the foreign field, when the internal one faces difficulty. Recent successful negotiations with the Aurarian Empire can serve to prove that. Still, the Kingdom hopes to achieve further successes in its stewardship of the South Atlantic Treaty Organisation's (SATO) Overseas Board. Regarding Transvaall In concern, to Transvaall, the Kingdom hopes to provide Ambassador Mbatha a greeting equal to that provided to Russia. As such, the King has ordered Brigadier McCaldwell to remain in Saint Paul City. The 11th Brigade will proudly welcome Ambassador Mbatha to the country. Ambassador MacFie will similarly also welcome the Ambassador and guide him to the talk rooms in the Chaumers Building. The Kingdom will provide accommodation for the diplomatic team and any assistance they should require. Dear Excellency, It is my pleasure to welcome you to Saint Paul City. I hope that you can find your stay here as welcoming and pleasant as possible. We are extremely pleased that Transvaall is open to securing a non-aggression pact with the Kingdom and the Aurarian Empire. On behalf of the Kingdom, I extend my gratitude to His Excellency the President and Your Excellency. I hope that you have found the conditions and premises provided for the negotiations desirable. We hope to make swift progress in our negotiations and have them concluded by the end of the month. I would like to invite you to put forward your requests, and we shall be happy to start work on them as soon as you are willing to. You and your team will be discussing with 50 veteran Foreign Ministry officials, and I will be present when my duties allow. I hope you are happy with these arrangements and I hope that we will be able to construct something of high utility and effectiveness. Yours Sincerely, The negotiations will take place on the terms outlined above. Regarding Russia With the President and Chairman of the Russian Socialist Federations present, the stakes and desire for the country to impress are naturally much higher. The safety of the Russian team is being taken in extremely high regard, with the capital's Military and Metropolitan Police in much higher numbers near the Chaumers Building and President Putin and his team's accommodation. The 17th Brigade, under the command of Brigadier McHarris, has been called to the capital from Jundiahy. The King has travelled to the capital to meet with President Putin and hopes negotiations can soon begin. His Majesty would like to invite His Excellency Putin to a meeting at the top-class Fiddler's Restaurant in the upper-class centre-west of the city. He hopes to outline the beginning of negotiations under an experienced team of 50 Foreign Ministry officials, with a goal to conclude it by the end of the month, the same aims for Transvaall. --- Additionally, the Kingdom hopes to host an event celebrating each nation's culture if or when an agreement is reached. Preparations are currently being made. | |
The Armed Republic of Katti | An Announcement from the Armed Republic of Katti Furthermore, the Kattian Foreign Ministry has officially begun organising an investment summit to attract investment from foreign corporations and governments in the newly stabilised state, with a special focus placed on local manufacturing using Katti's vast mineral reserves. | |
The Dominion of Kingdom of Saint Paul | Correspondence to the Armed Republic from the Saint Paul Department of the Exterior Dear First Minister Norström, We in the Kingdom of Saint Paul are pleased to hear about the stabilisation of your country. It is a good thing for the world to be at peace, and we are glad to have Katti on the world stage. I am happy to say that the Kingdom would be willing to establish a foreign programme with your nation and provide direct foreign investment aid, amounting to 5 billion USD into your local manufacturing and mining industries, to help your reconstruction. I hope that you can in turn authorise your Foreign Ministry to send a delegation to Saint Paul City and enter a trade agreement with us limiting tariffs on imports to 3.5% on everything except energy. We also hope you would agree to sign a non-aggression pact with us. We hope that this can help stabilise your regime, benefit both of our economies, and establish Saint Paul as a friend to Katti. Yours sincerely, | |
The Empire of Lunar sand | Subject: Sky Shield Defense System: Overview and Specifications - Sky Shield defense system is a crucial part of our national security strategy, designed to protect the Aurarian Empire (Lunar Sand) and our Africa regional allies. This advanced system will intercept various aerial threats, including missiles and drones, ensuring the safety of our airspace and key infrastructures. The Sky Shield will feature a multi-layered defense network, consisting of long-range radars, satellite guidance systems, and high-speed interceptors capable of neutralizing threats before they reach populated areas. The system will be managed from a central command center, coordinating responses in real-time. The estimated cost for the entire project is projected to be around €1.8 billion. This includes the installation of detection systems, interceptor stations, and the central command unit. The initial investment is substantial, but it ensures a reliable defense network, reducing the risk of future conflicts and damage. Deployment and testing will be completed by January 2025, marking the start of a new phase in our defense capabilities. We aim to protect our people and secure our position as a key defense partner within the African region. | |

The Armed Republic of Katti | The Response of the First Minister to the Investment Proposal of the Kingdom of Saint Paul Dear Lord D. Richard Lirquhar, The Armed Republic of Katti welcomes the generosity of the Kingdom of Saint Paul. However, for the terms attached to this investment, a £5 bn investment would not offset the potential costs to the Kattian economy resulting from increased competitiveness of Saint Paulian companies in our nation, so I would have to ask that the Kingdom significantly increase its investment or limit the tariff cut to a decrease of 3.5%, resulting in a 14.5% tariff rate for the Kingdom's businesses down from an 18% standard tariff. We accept the proposal for a non-aggression pact should the above revision be accepted, and we hope to establish strong diplomatic relations as equals. Yours sincerely, | |

Despite the setback, they managed to dig deep, and their cohesion under pressure was impressive. Their forwards, especially, were exceptional, delivering in critical moments.” Commentator 2: “The Ravens came out firing early on, those two quick tries really gave them the momentum, but once Russia found their footing, it became clear that the Golden Eagles weren’t going to be fazed. That red card to Borat Cohen could have been a game-changer, but Russia’s tactical discipline and commitment in the second half were superb.” Commentator 1: “You're right, the Ravens showed real heart throughout, especially in the second half when they managed to bring the game level. There were some flashes of brilliance from their key players, like the line break from Tommy Reed and Thorney’s late try, but Russia’s counterattacks, particularly after that line break in the 73rd minute, really shifted the momentum in their favor.” Commentator 2: “The missed tackles and penalties from The Ravens also cost them at crucial times, allowing Russia to gain ground and keep the pressure on. Still, The Ravens fought hard and nearly turned it around, but the Golden Eagles’ ability to capitalize on mistakes made the difference.” Final Thoughts: Despite being reduced to 14 players, the Golden Eagles of Russia triumphed over The Ravens from Saint Paul with a strong 33-21 victory. The Golden Eagles’ ability to capitalize on the Raven's errors, combined with tactical brilliance and precise kicking from Blake Axlyan, secured their win. The Ravens displayed heart and skill, but the day belonged to the Golden Eagles in what was an action-packed and highly entertaining match. | |

The Dominion of Kingdom of Saint Paul | Dear First Minister Norström, We are happy to hear your response. We understand that Katti will be naturally protective of its industrial interests, so we propose to triple our investment to 15 billion USD, in exchange for a 7% reduction in tariffs to a standard 11% on Pauline imports. We hope this will be a more acceptable proposal to your nation, and will truly let both Katti's and Saint Paul's economies prosper. We are also pleased to hear your response in regard to the diplomatic front. I have personally selected Ambassador James Christ, 45 years of age and with ample experience, to lead the 15-man Pauline diplomatic team to Katti. We hope that he can enter the country to sign the non-aggression pact, and also hope to hear from you regarding your choice of Ambassador, who will be well-housed in Saint Paul City. I believe that this has been an extremely constructive and productive conversation, and I extend my gratitude for it. Yours sincerely, | |
