King Angus II
Quendich, Fort Cyril​

The dark haired king sat in his warmly decorated office surrounded by beautiful carvings and paintings framing the many windows of the locale. The mellow morning light broke through and illuminated his deep brown desk adorned by wooden oak leaved, upon which his fingers tactfully strummed. In his other hand rested a tiny cup filled with a few sips worth of lamp black coffee. In front of him laid a letter. Exceptionally and formally written. Spectating the reading session sat another man with blonde neatly combed hair and with ideal, handsome facial structure. Suddenly the king leaned back into his chair and looked upwards to his golden and crystal chandelier sifting the warm light into a spectrum splattered on a large shelf containing a neat collection of books. “Signed, Chief Minister Nils Faston.”, he straightened himself and looked to the young man. “As advicor, and formally minister af trade, im obliged to ask your view.” His raspy and burly voice continued. Suddenly snapping into focus the blonde man seemed happy to been have handed the word. “I see it as an excellent opportunity to expand not only our military but also perhaps lay grounds for an alliance. Something we’re in need of, as I know you’re most aware.” his clean voice replied. King Angus fiddled lightly with a pointy end of his mustache. “And what af athers (Others)? Need we fear interference? Abjections and the such?”, “Your highness, I must admit your concerns are in the right, but the agreement we’ve been offered will be the guardian angel of our lands should war come.”. Angus seemed to agree with what was said. “Thank you, Yossux.You may.”, With that the well dressed young man stood himself up and with a gentle bow headed for the grand exit.

Melwen Astoch, Minister of Seafairs
Coast of Goersland​

A royal cart carried down a narrow path by prestinely white steeds bumped on by the coastside of the northern Goersland. Inside it a total of four men sat, two of them royal guards. “It is of no sense!” a well dressed man holding a stack of papers exclaimed. “Not even half! HALF!” he continued in the same loud tone. “Calm yourself Minister!” the other man angrily spat back. “But you do not understand Hawry, this could b- No, it is catastrophical! If the fisheries report a decrease of more than half compared to last year what of next, and those to come? We’ll be ruined!”. Even though his eccentric behaviour was getting to the guards the other man brushed his words of as of no importance. “Understand this, Astoch, we’re approching the next fishery so act like minister for once or I will throw you out of this cart damn it!”.

---------------------------------------------------------------​

Actions: ​

• King Angus II and his minister of trade agree that initiating trading relations with The Federal Republic of Haeland is beneficial.
• The minister of fishing gathers reports of more than a 50% decrease in whale catches off of the northern coast

HALLAKOKU​

​

The nation awaits news of the ill Emperor Osahito Komei. While he wasn’t one of the greatest Emperors, his people still loved him dearly, due to his love for the ancient ways of the nation. However, a crowd of hopeful millions, outside the Imperial Hospital of Terveysozoku, is met with horror, as the young prince, Mutsuhito Meiji, addresses them, will a solemn face.

Sons and Daughters of the Empire. This day, is a tragic day indeed. My father, OUR Emperor, has passed away. As the nation knew well, he had been ill these past few months. Our worst fears have prevailed, and claimed his life, much too soon. In light of this event, I am ordering the closure of ALL ports for the next fortnight. We will hold a festival, here in Shihon, our glorious capital, which our Emperor loved so dearly. I do wish to thank you all for gathering here. My father would have had tears, from seeing his people care so deeply for him.

Mutsuhito then bows, respectfully to the crowd whose members each return it, with their own bow. The prince takes a few steps back, and Empress Dowager Eisho takes his place, smiling, at the crowd, but with an undeniable sadness in her face. She begins with a bow, says a simple thank you, and turns around, obviously too distraught to say anything. The Empress and her son then make their return to the Imperial Palace, having other matters to attend to, including a message to Siaponga. Mutsuhito pens the letter, in place of his father.

Message to Siaponga​

Good day to you, Honorable Prime Minister Kwon Rheeju. Unfortunately, as this letter is reaching you, my father, the late Emperor Osahito Komei, has passed away, and I have succeeded to the throne. I wish to relay the dying wish of my father, to you. My father told me to formally announce The alliance of Siaponga as a friend to Hallakoku, and your people as our people. He gave strict orders, already being carried out, for the navy to patrol your waters, in defense of your young nation. My father had also overseen the completion of an empty embassy in our Capital. We do hope you will grant us the honor, and claim it for yourself.


Grant me forgiveness for the shortness of this letter, however, I do await your reply.

122nd Emperor of the Imperial House of Hallakoku​

Commonwealth of Rosja
Afternoon of August 7th, 1870


The Rosjan Duma

The monthly Duma meeting had come to an end. They had come to a decision about the Sayazi problem. Towns were to setup militias from their own population. With government support as well, the Sayazi bandits would be fended off. These militias would be called Stazjas. The Stazjas would be provided military equipment and training from nearby Rosjan military forces.

The navy was addressed as well. However, nothing really came out of it. The Tsar's nephew, Anton Wojton, had whined about the Naval branch of the Rosjan Military for a while. Nothing really got done in that matter. Nothing was accomplished that day...

The Duma, having heard rumors of the legendary Gatling gun and magazine fed rifle from Haeland, sends a letter requesting to purchase equipment. Axel The Englishman
Fort Stavka
A meeting was being held by the aristocratic military leaders of the Rosjan forces. This meeting, unbeknownst to the Tsar, is a conspiracy to begin an ethnic enslavement against the Sayazi and the Welkish. The common belief was that they were traitor races. Commander Konrad Paskiewicz had authorized the creation of several internment camps and began to expand upon the railroad infrastructure needed to transport some approximate 125,000 Sayazi and Welkish people towards these internment camps.

Konrad looked at the Industry Minister and the rest of his staff. Konrad was accompanied by some 5 other aristocratic Donkrawians and Rosjans. They all took a seat, and Konrad began to speak.
"Gentlemen... I have a proposition. In the past quarter, work efficiency and production values have dropped due to bandits and the Sayazi natives... Our outer district factories are under constant threat of assault. Now, the Tsar has begun to spend resources on creating the Stazja. However, those will only reduce production values further by taking away workers to fend off the raiders. My proposition is that we create a railway that leads to a series of internment camps to hold Sayazi and Welkish peoples in order to have slaves. Slaves will greatly improve the working hours and the production values, as well as be a deterrent for bandits and the Sayazi."

The Federal Republic of Haeland
Morning, 8th of August, 1870

.

Sergeant Major Freido Hiton
Quendich, En Route to Fort Cyril [Interacting - Moldie ]

Before Hiton had departed from his native country, he was given very clear instructions. Under no circumstances were he to act in such a manner that it could compromise the relationship between Haeland and the Ochlands. He was meeting with the King in person: a great honour, and it had to be treated as such. Hiton had spent nights on his journey to the Ochlands learning the local tongue. Whilst it was far from perfect, it was most certainly sufficient enough. Thankfully the similarities between the languages didn't require extensive study.

Hiton checked a list of documents. Each sheet of paper detailed the inventory the Haelish diplomats were carrying. 2 Crastof guns, 10 Halford rifles, 20 grenades... Everything written down was for demonstration purposes. If the King was impressed by the Haelish arsenal, then surely it would secure a trade deal for the country. Hiton had to 'seal the deal' as they say.

His carriage eventually came to a stop. Hiton took a peek outside. It was a fort, shaped from stone. 'Fort Cyril' as it was supposedly called. He opened the carriage door and stepped outside, to find himself greeted by an escort of what was most likely the Royal Guard. "Salutations. I arrive an behalf af thee Federal Republic af Haeland, chosen as an emissary by thee Chief Minister to thee Republic."

.

Chief Minister to the Republic, Nils Faston
Baselton, Wathrum Court [Interacting - doodleSM ]

It had been a quiet morning. Faston was yet to receive word of his emissary's arrival in the Ochlands. But he had chosen the diplomat himself. He knew that he would arrive on time, and he trusted him to carry out his job in an adequate and professional manner.

The Minister was almost finished with his paperwork for the morning. Ever since the Crastof gun had been revealed to the world, leaders and warmongers alike wanted some of the action. One notable case was the Commonwealth of Rosja, who had requested a total of 100 Crastof guns. Perhaps it was because it was a simple yet efficient weapon capable of decimating a company of men on its own. Maybe because it was cheap to produce and so readily available. Maybe it was even because it was a product of Haelish engineering. No matter the reasons why, distributing the weapon would certainly be a profitable prospect, and it was Faston's duty as Chief Minister to the Republic to act within the interests of the Haelish nation and her people.

Alliance of Siaponga
Morning of August 8th, 1870
Office of the Prime Minister

Prime Minister Kwon Rheeju, second prime minister of the Alliance of Siaponga was in his office going through the papers signifying tax revenue and government funding. He had been lenient on Rison Island after the attempt to declare independence from Siaponga. The island was in ruin after the insurgency and attempts were being made to help rebuild the damages on the island, money that was pretty much being lended to them. He had to cut funding from the Defense Office to give to the Interior Office, which made him anxious but he can’t rule a nation built on rubble. This in turn would reduce the development of the navy but he had relied on Hallakoku to make up for their lack of one. Speaking of which he had noticed an envelope addressed to him by Emperor Mutsuhito Meiji. That was strange. Last time when the Prime Minister visited Hallakoku the emperor was his father, Osahito Komei. He opened the envelope and read the letter within. He read every word and let out a deep sigh. Osahito was a good man and it was a shame to see him go, but he was a friend to the Alliance and was thrilled by the naval support and the empty embassy provided to him. He begins to write two letters.

Message to Hallakoku

Dearest Emperor Meiji, I must first begin this letter by offering condolences to your late father for his passing. He was a great man to your people and a good friend to us and we look forward to continuing this alliance with you as head of Hallakoku. I must also thank you for the sakura tree tribute, which I will greatfully accept and nurtue in my private home. I must also thank you for offering to protect our shores and informing us of the empty embassy in your capital. I shall send staff and a small battalion to occupy it. We also have such a empty building that you may use for an embassy on our land. We ask you to use it as you see fit.​

Sincerely,
Kwon Rheeju, 2nd Prime Minister of the Allaince of Siaponga

Message to Kwon Minju

My dearest Minju, I am writing this letter to you as I am too busy to inform of such imperative news. Hallakoku has offered an embassy to Siaponga and it is with great honor that I bestow you as Ambassador to Hallakoku. No one else understands the Hallakoku as much as you do and now you are to live amongst them. I have already discussed matters with the Exterior Minister to let you choose your staff as well as providing a detachment of Victorsland Marines who will be assigned as protection. If you deny, I understand and will find someone else who is willing. If you accept I hope you can come up to Hansol and wish your father goodbye and if not at the very least write to me.
​

Sincerely,
Your father, Kwon Rheeju

-A letter is sent to the Emperor of Hallakoku.

Ruperlandia
Afternoon of August 8th, 1870

Parliament of Ruperlandia

As per the election of 1870, the Conservative Party have won the majority in parliament with 217 seats and Speaker Jameson Monery being a conservative along with Prime Minster Manfred Johnson. The Federalist Liberal Party hold the majority of opposition with 150 seats, the Nacionel Alleionse di Novingnon (Novingnon National Alliance) hold 50 seats, the Free Economy Party holding 42 seats, the Reactionary Party holding 10 seats, and the Populist Socialist Union holding 2.

The Conservatives had wanted to expand their military and had passed the act to introduce a national conscription law, being able to conscript men at the age of 20-34 to serve for 2 years which was passed unanimously. This had seen total support from everyone in parliament as they had one of the weakest militaries and were worried by outside threats.

When the draft was in place, men from all over the country had went to their local recruitment center to sign up. Trains were departing men from all over the country to sign up for the Federal Army to it's many bases and fortifications. These new brigades would be nicknamed the 150 Plus Boys, as they would make regiments of men numbered 150 and over. They would receive proper military training to become a regular force when war breaks out, the government was hoping to convince these men to remain in the army once their term of service was up.

Châsu, Novingnancy, Ruperlandia

The draft hadn't seen much praise and protest would start in the Montleu District in Châsu, an industrial district. At first it started off with a young novingnon textile worker saying no to a recruitment officer when he approached him on the street, until the recruitment officer started harrowing him and the young man sucker punched him and was immediately arrested. People around Châsu, especially in the industrial districts had spoke the boy as a hero not willing to serve a nation who they claim, treats them as lesser beings and slandered the NAN for allowing the draft to pass. These nationals begged for the young man to be released and a citywide riot took place. This lead to the NAN Lieutenant Minister of Novingnonancy deploying the Provincial Militia to restore order in Châsu to prevent the riots from spreading around the province.

The rioters had control on the industrial districts of Montleu, Jouva, and Aigne while the provincial government had control of the rest of the city, holding telegram offices and railroad stations. No deaths have been reported but 20 rioters have been wounded and the three districts have been locked down, ceasing industry in Châsu. The militia takes action to blockade every entrance point to the three districts, no one goes in or out.


Actions
-The Federal Army adds 50 regiments (75,000 men)
- A revolt takes place in Châsu, locking it down and industry ceasing

HALLAKOKU​

The nation spends a fortnight remember the late Emperor, with festivals in every city and village. Afterwards, all ports open once more, welcoming the response from Neverland. The new Emperor, Meiji, reads over the letter from The Alliance of Siaponga, once more, before reading over the letter from Neverland. He starts pacing around his office, thinking, before he starts penning letters, to both nations, as well as a few others and to his brother. After the letters have been penned, he calls for a messenger to deliver the letters, with haste.

Message to The Alliance of Siaponga

My dear friend, Kwon
I would first like to begin by thanking you for your condolences. My father lead my people greatly, and he will be missed. I would also like to express gratitude for the empty embassy building. I know the perfect ambassador to your great nation, and I'm sure he will be more than willing to fill it. As for defending your shores, I would like to say, what my father told me about our two nations. We are different in only one regard, we live elsewhere in the world. Your people are my people, and my people are your people. I myself shall defend all of my people with my last breath. I am glad to hear the tree shall be cared for and nurtured.

Captain Tavis Shiles
Cravow [Interacting - doodleSM ]

The F.N.S Medrua was docking into harbour, at the port of the Rosjan city of Cravow. Captain Shiles - the commanding officer of the vessel - was overseeing the duties of his subordinates. Sailors were already preparing to unload the vessel of her precious merchandise as the ship dropped anchor, as ordered. Shiles already had butterflies in his stomach. This was city unbeknownst to him in a foreign land. He was unsure of how these people would react to his presence, especially when the Medrua was carrying such valuable cargo. This wasn’t an ordinary job. Shiles’ ship was carrying about a hundred Crastof Guns, worth two and a half Marks each. That sort of money could bring out the demons in any man, and Shiles sure as Hell didn’t want to see them.

Once the slipway was set up on the pier, Shiles’ men were already unloading crates off of the ship. A few lads conversed with the dockmaster, speaking in broken Rosjan, showing off documents and asking for a detachment of soldiers from the nearest garrison. They made sure to note that it was within the dockmaster’s interests to arrange that escort, for both of their sakes. All the crew could do for now was to guard the shipment.

“Alright, lads. Once that escort has arrived and the transaction of payment has been arranged, we’ll be homeward by the morn of the day cometh. If you fancy something for the Mrs, I would advise you do your business before curfew.”

.

Chief Minister to the Republic, Nils Faston
Baselton, Wathrum Court

Nils and his council of advisors pondered on the subject of trade with nations from foreign continents. They had assembled to determine the profitability of such a prospect, and whether it should be brought before the Congressional Assembly. The distance put Haelish merchant vessels at risk of being attacked by pirates. And should they manage to acquire Federal Military munitions, it could land Haeland in a heap of trouble with the global community. There was also the factor of supplying potential enemies.

“Gentlemen, as it is my duty as Chief Minister to the Republic to act within the interests of the Haelish nation and her people, I believe it is necessary to restrict federal trade to the boundaries of this continent, with nations that we know best. Already we have laid down the foundations for trade agreements with the Ochlands and the Rosjan Commonwealth, and I believe this will benefit our country truly. Until we can trust these nations in lands faraway, for now we must only negotiate.”

The council appeared to be in a unanimous state of agreement. Thus, it was decided that the Haelish government would only do business with countries on the continent before beginning to trade with foreign powers.

Commander Konrad Paskiewicz (left) and Commissar Andrzej Murzyn (right)
The Offer to Siaponga
Sylvio

A letter had arrived from Rosjan Supreme Command in the embassy in Siaponga. They were looking to sell a Dreadnought to the Siapongians, in exchange for a naval and military base in their territory to protect assets in the region.

A Rosjan emissary had arrived in the capital of Siaponga. The emissary Vasilievich Andreyev, a Donkrawian, found Siaponga to be an odd state. The Alliance of Siaponga seemed to have lacked a naval presence of their own. Vasilievich left the hotel that he was staying in and made his way towards the governmental building. Upon arrival, he was greeted and had arranged to meet with an official about the purchase.

He greets them in their traditional manner, he'd then proceed to propose to them his offer.
"I am here for business. The government in Birkaj and the Duma wish to sell, in order to further relations and assist in protecting assets in Asia, a Wilk class Dreadnought. In exchange, we are hoping to establish a naval and military base on the Rison Island. Please consider our offer, it's in your best interests."


The Hallakoku Invite
Skyenagowa

The secretariat of Rosja had received a letter from the Asian country of Hallakoku. For security measures, the Secretariat went about reading the letter. The surprise was not that they replaced their emperor -- as they expected that to happen -- it was the cordial friendship that Hallakoku wanted. Perhaps their new emperor is a realist... Whatever it maybe they gave the letter to the Duma for discussion. It was decided (unanimously) that the Tsar would not go.


Neverland's Trade
Blue winter rose

Another letter that same day arrived in the Office of Overseas Trade Commissions. It was delivered to the Duma. The Duma refused and promised to draft a statement on the Duma's decisions. The office workers immediately put the offer into a forgotten filing cabinet after a brief meeting. A memo was written to the Office of Naval Affairs

There's no place like Neverland.


Haelish Trade
Axel The Englishman

The dockmaster agreed and had arranged for an escort of 12 Rosjan infantry. The 12 had arrived shortly after. Mariusz Trzeciak, the leader of the escorting squad said, in fairly broken Haelish.

"Greetings, the supply depot is several miles down that way. We'll escort the payload there and inspect the weapons -- away from the public eye. You'll be paid in full"

After the crates came off the ship various workers starting bringing the guns on board. The area was closed off to the public, but a few stray eyes still make their way...

Military letters
A letter was sent to Konrad. He was preparing to continue the Sayazi enslavement conspiracy. He had finalized the districts that would be candidates for "workers benefits"

Commander Konrad,

"Work is well underway. The workers are pushing. They're concerned about payment."

Staff Sergeant Christon Hites
Cravow [Interacting - doodleSM ]

The Medrua hadn't just brought along a shipment of munitions; A section of Marines were ordered by their superiors to conduct demonstrations. Staff Sergeant Christon Hites - hero of the Battle of Joeson's Ridge - was to lead such a display. He, having actual experience with the Crastof Gun, made him a good enough choice. And better yet, he was fluent in the Rosjan language. He was the perfect choice.

The Marines followed the crew off of the ship, with Hites taking the lead. Once their escort had arrived, he exchanged words with the Rosjans. It was clear that they had been taken by surprise by his linguistic skill in their native tongue. His words were more refined compared to what his fellow comrades could muster.

"Gentlemen, I see no point in waiting about as the seconds pass away. Let us be off with all due haste."
