The Hyperborean Empire of Vostag

The Federal Empire of Hedra

IC: As the wedding day of Empress Maria Elvira I of Hedra and Prince Joseph Alduin II of Sovern approaches, the Hedran government has sent out special invitations to several world leaders across the globe. If their leader is able to or doesn’t wish to attend, a representative can also be sent in their place if they wish. The most special invitations, those signed by both the Minister of Imperial Affairs and the Empress, were sent to all leaders of the Rodinian Union. One, however, was sent to a much different person. Ever since the arrival of His Dudeness, Mr. Lebowski of Vostag, the Hedran government has been intrigued about his nation and it’s mysterious leader. The government has decided to contact Mr. Lebowski, since he is the only person from Vostag that Hedra has interacted with, to invite him and the leader of his nation to attend the ceremony as special guests of the Empress in her wedding day in the days to come.

Would like to propose an amendment to the charter, to Article II: Legislative Branch, Section J: Security of Elections & Polls.

A nation may only hold one office at a time.

Edit:
Since the question has been raised I also propose that the title of founder be actually defined officially in the charter as either:
A) simply a title placed upon me by NS for the very act of founding Barbaria that even in CTE I cannot be rid of no more I could change the color of my skin IRL,

or B) as an actual government position with its powers or lack thereof defined.

Or perhaps it should be an amendment to the Rights of Nations since it would impact my rights as a nation? Whichever I leave to others to decide.

OOC: You both bring very valid points, but I have a simple resolution to determine what we should do. We should hold a snap poll between options A. and B.

If the majority sides with one option, then we'll draft an official amendment and hold another poll. Pretty lengthy, but appropriate enough, and naturally gives the residents the right to determine the outcome.

In my own biasness, I don't think it's necessary to count the Founder as another government position, it has no real authority, and it was designed that way by the reformed Charter to act as an honorable reservation for Vostag, our Founder. I don't think Vostag needs to resign from his position, because has already proven his competence and integrity as our Defense Minister.

The United Berber States of Alezabar

OOC: I am announcing that I am running for my second term, and officially entering the race for the Foreign Affairs Minister.

My platform is very simple, in my time I have learned many things about how the region works, drama between regions, and the fact that representatives from regions are f*cking arrogant. But I enjoy having to deal with d*ckheads once in a while, something that I am pretty tolerable of. I have found that my strengths lie in my diligence, while my weaknesses involve the fact that I am not as active as I should, and that is something that I want to improve on. If you elect my as your minister, I will be more involved in disputes, and not always go to our Secretary General whenever harassment follows, but no matter what I stand up for Barbaria and her values. If you elect me again, you will see my promises come true.

The Federal Empire of Hedra

OOC: Greetings everyone!! Since no one else came forward to run, our current minister, Alezabar, wins by default and goes to his second term. Congrats!!

Now, the borders won’t be open just yet as I believe there are important matters to be discussed and voted on. With that said, I endorse the Defense Minister’s proposal and would like to see these changes implemented to the Charter in order to bring more clarity to all of us. In two days I shall create a poll for the proposed additions to the Charter.

The People's Republic of Quing Nara

IC: "The Rising Red Star"

Act I. Madam Yui Kara

After twenty-five years of undivided leadership, domestic and foreign accomplishments, Chairman Zhao's last term has come to a conclusion. In spite of the end of an era, a new leader assumes the role, and has their own ambitions in plan. Rising through the political ranks of the Quing Communist Party, a talented political strategist, going by the honorable name Yui Kara, becomes the first woman to hold office in all of Quing history. Madam Yui Kara comes from a renown bureaucratic household, with strong ancestral tie to the nation's founder, Mao. Due to her excellence in education, charisma, and general intelligence; this young woman was able to use her influence to gain the support to become Quing Nara's next great leader. Upon assuming power, the young Chairwoman uses her new-found authority to drive the nation to the future. In her inaugural speech, she delivers a plan for the nation-state to prosper, grow further, and expand; to the Quing people, and the world, to witness.

Standing before a large crowd of soldiers in salute, from all branches of the Quing military, and everyday citizens present; the Chairwoman stands before her audience on a platform with the Quing banner waving proudly in the background. All eyes are on her.

"For thousands of years the Quing has held on to their traditions, culture, and general way of life. Wars come and go, torture has become commonplace, and the suffering has lead to the eventual revolution of the Quing people. Since only 1949, Quing Nara has built up their forces, accumulated influence, and devised a plan to spread the Revolution. The date was never revealed, but we have readied ourselves until that day comes. Today is that day. The era of preparation is over, and a new era of action is upon us. The world is rapidly changing, and we must change with it, or we will all pay the price. The Rodinians and Helricians are approaching on all sides, and as we saw from the last war, are willing to unleash horrors for their colonies. Now our borders run along these imperialists, and the battle of ideologies will eventually come, but it will pass. The world is watching our corner of the world, as the peaking powers begin to flex their might, and use their technology to achieve personal gain. This battle will not happen today, or tomorrow, but it will happen in the future. I plan on preparing us for this battle, and use all the available resources to put these foreign invaders at ease. We will stop the cycle of invaders taking control, only for us to suffer until we have the strength to fight them. Now, we have the technology, influence, and resources to break the cycle. We will stand our ground, no matter what.

We will begin by reinforcing our border security, invest in infrastructure that was destroyed from the last war, and re-affirm our place in the international community. These new territories will be subjected to the same law of the Quing, speak like the Quing, and will become the Quing." Chairwoman Kara briefly pauses to look around, then stares straight at the camera.

"In the meantime, I have authorized a military operation into the former Inner Vestil, after their government seemingly broke down. To prevent foreigners from having a position on our western flank, we will secure the region, and annex the territory into the People's Republic. In addition, we have gathered enough intelligence on Neapola, to suggest they will be allowing the Soverns to construct naval bases along their southern coastline, which is a violation of the treaty we have with them that prohibit our security from being compromised in any way. In reaction to this betrayal, we will also be conducting a separate military operation into Neapola, to prevent it from happening, and punish the Neapolanesse for violating their word. The world stage is simply a chess board, with many players moving their pieces ever so slightly, but it is now our turn - we are going to change how the game is played. Watch us surely dominate the board, and checkmate our greater enemy..."

Within the former territory of Inner Vestil, the People's Liberation Army has successfully advanced from the east, and will continue to move westward until the borders are secured, and the territory can begin the integration process. Meanwhile, Quing forces from all branches have begun assaulting the borderlands of Neapola, seizing villages and major conjunctions for supplies to reach the moving frontlines. The mountainous Neapolanesse mountains are of no stranger to Quing intelligence, and has the necessary manpower and technology to master any natural obstacles.

IC: After a century of isolation and neutrality, the nation quickly dissolves into chaos as Quing forces invade from the north. The ruling monarch, King Hindi II. petitions to Quing Nara for a surrender, in order to prevent anymore of his people from being killed or tortured by war. The King outlines a condition that a small territory be reserved for his nation to continue to exist, and his people to move to and live in, the very core of Neapola before the Age of the Thunder Dragon Empire. The King also wants the safe passage of his people, and none to be detained or harmed.

Hello everyone, Barbarians, savages alike,

I would like to announce the deadline for the next regional map update, and would ask of you a small questionnaire, to give me a better understanding of your nation. These questions can be answered to me via telegram, just to keep the RMB clean and open for the election season. The deadline for your information is the 14th of this month, which means you have a week before the final stages of the map are implemented on the 29th of this month. If you happen to miss the 14th, well then you'll just be at my mercy. Get your lore, history, etc. together, and explain your nation in a brief summary, detailing your climate, geography, culture, etc. Those who've been here know the drill.

Q: What's coming out of this map?

A: Fresher borders, new nations, old nations, etc...

Q: Anything fresh or what?

A: I've been working on the sidelines a geography/climate/river map. I want people to work on their world building, and be inspired. Who knows, maybe we're planning a major role-play series where water wars begin to spring up out of nowhere, and that we're heading to a dark age, but what do I know?

If you have any other questions, please go crazy.

EDIT: Hello fellow Barbarians,

I would like to update everyone on the whereabouts of the regional map. Due to the recent extension of political reforms and movements within the region, and the fact that I have some personal matters to take care of; the deadline for the regional map update will be extended to April 5th, or next Friday. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it will give me enough time to improve everyone's position, the quality of the map, and keep my sanity. I have already consulted this with the Secretary General, and he gave me his full support.

Thank you,

Your regional cartographer,

The Federal Empire of Hedra

IC: Plans for the wedding have been put into action. Elvira had originally intended to keep the wedding a private family affair, but her ministers had persuaded her to invite the diplomatic corps to watch the procession to and from the cathedral as the marriage of the Hedran monarch has always taken the spotlight in Hedra.

Invitations had been sent out, along with a dress code: Hedran gentlemen were to wear full regimental dress, bureaucrats were to wear the appropriate uniforms as stipulated in Jon V’s Great Table of Ranks; Hedran ladies were to come in full court dress, foreign women in evening dresses, with full jewels and awards.

At 11:30 am, on the morning of the wedding, Prince Joseph of Sovern departed the Vieira Palace in an open landau to the Imperial Palace of Seville, in the company of his brother, Frederic. Soon after, Joseph’s mother departed for the Fronteira Palace in a closed coach, the Seville residence of Duchess Felipa, to bring the Empress to the Imperial Palace.

At the Imperial Palace, Elvira was dressed in her wedding dress and imperial mantle. Her Honiton lace veil had been designed by her maternal great-grandfather Emperor Tybolt and had been worn at the weddings of her mother, Queen Catarina, and her aunts. She also wore the traditional Hedran Imperial Nuptial Crown, a 475 carat necklace and matching earrings that had belonged to Empress Cerelle. Across her body, she wore the cross and sash of the Order of St. James.

At 12:10, the procession into the Great Church began, with canons from the Imperial Gardens announcing the beginning of the ceremonies. Kaiserin Astrid led the procession, accompanying her daughter-in-law to be, with Joseph walking behind them in his military uniform, complete with his medals and the blue sash of the Order of the Hedran Cross. Along with the Hedran princes and princesses, foreign royal relatives processed into the church, headed up by Joseph's maternal grandfather, King Gustav XII of Xerznea. Other relatives included King Carlos XIII of Espanela (uncle of Elvira), Don Fructuoso, the Duke of Cordoba (uncle of Elvira), and Dona Tyrana, the former Princess Imperial of Hedra (great aunt of Elvira).

The service was presided over by the Archbishop of Seville, the private imperial confessor and chief of the Palace clergy, along with other clergymen. After Joseph mounted the dais, Kaiserin Astrid led Elvira to the dais, and the priest brought rings on a tray. After blessing them, the Archbishop announced the betrothal of Joseph to Elvira to the congregation, and then handed them their rings. After exchanging them three times, Joseph and Elvira knelt and exchanged formal wedding vows, with Joseph's best men, Prince Randolf Alduin, Prince Frederic Alduin III, Prince Frederic Alduin IV and Infante Luiz Filipe of Hedra holding the nuptial crowns above their heads. Following being led around the lectern, they knelt and kissed a gold cross, and following a final prayer, Joseph and Elvira were pronounced man and wife, at which point the church bells across Seville rang and guns were fired from the guards’ headquarters.

The newly weds stepped out of the church and bowed to those who stood before them cheering their union. After greeting their people and the press, the couple and their guests moved to the Imperial Garden to continue the celebrations with the several attractions that were hired to perform at the party, most notably Bud Moore, that makes a comeback after being granted authorization by the retirement home which he currently resides at.

IC: Seated in the back of the garden at a corner table is a mysterious cloaked figure wearing a gold mask. He has a plate of food in front of him but does not eat or drink. Not an inch of skin is showing. Sitting beside him is Mr. Lebowski who is drinking and speaking to the mysterious figure in a strange, foreign tongue, pointing at various guests. Standing beside their table is a black, skeletal looking robotic guard which repeatedly scans the room. On the table before them sits five gifts.

IC: As her new husband mingles with his friends and family, the Empress has taken the opportunity to walk around the party together with Minister Don Javier de Mairena to discuss some matters while greeting whoever walks by them. Don Javier looks to the side and notices Mr. Lebowski and the mysterious guest and holds the Empress’ arm as to make her stop walking and turn her attention to the guests.

The two of them take a step forward but an old woman with cat eye glasses, lilac hair, and a sort of manly physique stands between them.

“Oh congratulations your Majesty!” The old woman says in a rather deep tone then quickly clears her throat. “Excuse me.” She turns and walks away.

Elvira thinks this was quite weird but doesn’t pay much attention to it and follows her Minister’s lead.

“Mr. Lebowski! It is a pleasure to finally meet you in person!” Don Javier says taking a step forward extending his hand.

Mr. Lebowski stands, shaking Don Javier's hand and giving Empress Elvira a bowing head nod. "The pleasure is most certainly mine." He says before taking Empress Elvira's hand and kissing it. "Congratulations your majesty, it was a lovely ceremony." Lebowski releases her hand before taking a step back. "It's my pleasure to introduce to you Hakhan Imperator Kaiser Augustus Adamanus Hyperion." He says as the mysterious masked and cloaked figure rises. The cloaked figure steps forward, largely ignoring Don Javier, Elvira sensing that the pitch-black eyes of the gold mask are fixated entirely upon her. Imperator Adamanus giving a simple bow of his head to her. Empress Elvira and Don Javier both feel a strange, powerful aura emanating from the figure that makes the hairs on the back of both their necks stand on end. Imperator Adamanus then turns to the gifts on the table. The first three gifts are for Empress Elvira and consist of a crystal bottle of wine, a flute, and a violin. All ornately made. That is followed by a gift intended for her new husband Joseph, a crystal decanter full of a brown liquor.

"Dyeus blehes yuars oynom gelt" Imperator Adamanus says, his voice having an almost ghostly echo to it.

Lastly, as the gift of meeting, Imperator Adamanus hands Empress Elvira a small golden scroll with a map of lands, freshly acquired by Hyperborea following the collapse of Berdune and Florisiana. The land is gifted personally to Empress Elvira and Joseph.

"Dyeus blehes yuars oynom gelt" Imperator Adamanus says, his voice having an almost ghostly echo to it.

IC: Elvira eyes shine with joy as she looks at the musical instruments she was gifted. She is almost speechless.

“I… I don’t really know what to say.” Elvira grabs the violin and holds it to the light as to admire it’s details. “Don Javier, would you be so kind as to grab the souvenirs I seperated for our… illustrious guests.”

Don Javier bows his head. “Right away your majesty.”

After just a few minutes Don Javier returns with the gifts and places them on the table.

“For you Imperator Adamanus, a copy of Os Lusíadas. This copy in particular was ordered by my ancestor Don Alvito II to celebrate Hedran literature and showcase our past glory when we kickstarted the Age of Exploration. Camões is one of the greatest if not the greatest writer in Hedran history. For you Mr. Lebowski, I heard that you were rather a fan of bowling. I asked some of my most skilled artists to create this design, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the gifts you brought. Also, Mr. Lebowski, could do me the favour of translating what Imperator Adamanus said, unfortunately I am not familiar with your language.”

Imperator Adamanus bows his head in thanks for the gift. "Tong yus gelt" echoing out in his ghostly voice.

Mr. Lebowski accepts his gift as well giving the bowling ball a curious look, wondering how well it will actually roll before giving a slight bow of his head. "Thank you your majesty. The Imperator simply said, "Dyeus bless your union child." You'll have to forgive Imperator Adamanus your majesty. He can speak, understand, read, and write most languages but Aviskanem is our mother tongue and well he usually has someone around to translate for him anyway." Lebowski says with a chuckle.

The Second Empire of Kiago

IC:

Former King Leopold the II sits in his bed, drinking a mix of Hedran and Kiago brewed tea. He grabs an old picture, decades old photo, yet still has such a lasting impact. on the back it reads, "Me and Tybolt going hunting, having a joyous time."

"Old Memories huh?" Out of nowhere, his old wife, Queen Adele appears. She looks a lot younger than she was when she died over a decade ago, in her 30s, Glorius looks, as beautiful as the day when she wore the crown, the day she became Queen of Kiago.

Former King Leopold the II is stunned and stands up. "You...I..." Former King Leopold the II struggles to stay anything. "It's ok honey, we are here." Says Former Queen Adele.

Suddenly... Queen Francine, Emperor Tybolt, Mansa Musa XV, are there. "Welcome old friend, I see you look as ravishing as ever." Says Tybolt. Former King Leopold the II looks and sees his old self, when he was coronated. and looks over to see his lifeless physical body, laying on his bed. "It's ok dad, we are here, we can help." Says Francine. "Now then, the others are waiting, come, we have much to discuss and catch up on!" Says Tybolt.

Former King Leopold the II suddenly smiles. "I would like that." Says Former King Leopold the II as the exit out of the room, and into the clouds.

King Leopold the II, the last king of the old generation, has died...

IC: “That is actually not a bad idea.” Elvira replies with a slight chuckle. “Please, enjoy the party. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. Gentlemen.” she says as she excuses herself bowing her head.

As the other guests enjoy the party, the strange old lady with lilac hair makes her way to the table of the Duchess of Saint Amaro, Felipa de Zambrano, the eldest child of Emperor Tybolt. The Duchess sits alone enjoying her drink and listening to the music.

The old lady sits by her side. “Excuse me madam.”

“Go ahead… dad.” Felipa replies without turning her gaze.

The old lady seems startled. “What?!” She says in a deep voice before clearing her throat once more.

“You really think I, out of all people, wouldn’t figure this out? I mean, I am your daughter and you are a 100 year old lady with cat eye glasses, a dress filled with flowers, and a lilac wig.” Felipa says.

Tybolt chuckles and scratches his wig. “Think anyone else noticed it?”

“Judging by the fact no cameraman is after you, no. As impressive as they may sound.”

“Good.”

“So how is ‘death’, dad?” Felipa asks taking a sip of her drink.

“It’s good. I am able to do a lot more now that I am legally dead. What about you? How is life?” Tybolt asks as he cleans his glasses.

“Good as well. My granddaughter is empress, married a prince from Sovern, my company continues to make me money, I can’t complain. Now, what really keeps bugging my mind is what you have been doing.”

Tybolt clears his throat. “Well… ever since we won the war about 50 years ago, we manage to apprehend several Lemurian war criminals for several reasons. There were, however, those who managed to escape our grasp and I took it upon myself to go after them as some sort of justice I owe to my fellow brothers at arms that died in the fight.”

“You mean revenge?”

“Call it what you want. Some of them have to pay for what they did.” Tybolt replies while keeping watch of the party.

Felipa nods. “Do what you feel it’s right dad. We are both too old to worry about each other’s affairs.”

After a few more minutes of chatting, Tybolt stands up. “It was good to see you dear.”

“You too… Dame Edna.” Felipa says with a smirk.

Tybolt chuckles and bows his head disappearing into the party.
