The Press and Media Office of the Majestic Empire of Lijiang
« on: January 28, 2021, 11:23:14 PM »

On this the 28th day of January in the 2021st year of the Common Calendar heralds have been sent across the Majestic Empire to inform the population that the in 10 days time the wedding of His Imperial Majesty the Dragon-Emperor shall marry Lady Dandan and make her a Queen of the Majestic Empire. Omens and consultations with the Two Dragons have been taken and this day is marked as auspicious for their joining. Further omens and consultations will take place at a public pre-marriage blessing ceremony in two days time and at this point a decision will be made as to whether to invite dignitaries from other lands beyond the Empire.

Should the omens suggest this is an occasion to be shared with Mundus we shall dispatch invitations to all Heads of State offering them a chance to attend the marriage ceremony. As the Majestic Empire is a land of tradition we shall only be allowing people holding official titles from their Head of State to attend[1]. Each nation may send two representatives and they are required to wear clothing which shall cover legs and arms fully while inside our Temples. The ceremony also involves a significant walk up a steep hill and sadly there is no alternative mode of transport other than to walk. While we are aware many nations traditional formal attire includes ceremonial weapons such as swords these under no circumstances will be allowed into our Temples. Finally it is understood that many nations have traditions of presenting gifts for wedding ceremonies. This is not the case in Imperial weddings and so to avoid awkward situations it is asked that no nation presents gifts during their visit. While we understand some nations see this as a tradition for weddings the Dragon-Emperor and his future wife have asked that should nations feel a gift is traditional in their customs that they donate to an educational charity in their homeland under the name of Lady Dandan but there is no expectation that this happens.

Finally there is tradition that married guests visiting the ceremony will stay in the Golden Enclave. Unmarried couples, if they attend, will be given quarters for males in the Imperial Palace and females in the Golden Enclave.

We shall make an announcement of the 30th day of January in the 2021st year of the common calendar we shall confirm whether foreign guests are permitted as well as conveying the omens for the marriage as tradition dictates.
 1. Nobles or serving government Ministers

PROSPECT OF "TRI-NATIONAL TALKS"

Following the conclusion of the process to find a host for the Mundus Atomic Energy Agency much has been said about the manner in which the process was carried out. The Majestic Empire is still of the opinion that the process was not carried out in the spirit the Agency claims to operate under. We have noted several statements made talking of situation being one where according to King David of East Moreland "The damage has been done now however it is rectifiable" while Rokkenjima have spoken of " Trilateral Talks" that Empress Evanthe and King David are working towards. If such a path is to be opened up by King David we wish him every good fortune for it will require a mighty axe to clear the debris that strewn that path. The language used in the most recent Rokkenjiman statement is such that the only route forward for Lijiang is as part of the MAEA. We have already since being made to be unwelcome contacted Waddan about sourcing materials for projects that would require rare-earth metals and various other minerals including uranium and plutonium. There are also a vast array of nuclear scientists out there unaffiliated to MAEA whom we shall now approach in order to investigate the use of such materials to produce plentiful and relatively clean electric for our nation. The Rokkenjiman government are no longer the ones who are needed to "Open a path" to us rejoining, they are the roadblock forming it. Should we wish to rejoin it would be a decision made not consulting the Empress. We would now approach Dr.Gren and Duchess Anna who have received high office. The opinions of Empress Evanthe on Lijiang are now well documented and even in their response to criticism it is the "approach" taken towards us and not calling us such things as a nations with "potential capacity for human suffering" or claiming in our nation " gay, lesbian, transexual and female lives are viewed as holding less worth" despite us having identical stances to their ally Tytor on the matter, which have not been addressed. A man can not sit at a table in good faith with a person who see's him as being lesser. This is not a case of having two nations discuss talks with us and then us complying. I have spoken of the issue of many perceiving organisations such as MAEA being the remit of an "old world order" and even now we still see this as rather than approach us directly it is done through the Morelanders.

No such talks could reasonably take place while we are considered to have "potential capacity for human suffering" while meanwhile they sit side by side willingly with nations that hold the same rules over the LGBTQ+ community as ourselves.
