OK, so Baal and I will use this thread to hash this out in a more public sphere. So basically any surrounding powers in Albion or further away actors who want to contribute are welcome. We'll be posting a background of everything this weekend.

Diplomacy and Events / Afternoon at a Dacha
« on: July 15, 2023, 09:26:56 AM »

12:00pm Kavov, Zydarin Oblast, Imperial Federation of Skalvia

Empress Tanya Ulisi Ydrakov I, the first Empress of a now post imperial Skalvia since her mother Katarina Elmar Ydrakov took the reigns as Empress Regent in 1998 and then abdicated and handed the crown over to her daughter in 2009. Tanya was only 21 then and 14 years went by so fast. She wasn’t the youngest leader the Imperial Federation had but when she ascended the throne, many of her peers were trying to hook up at nightclubs, studying, drinking and having a good time, a time; all the while she was at meetings with her advisors about economic development, and improving Skalvia’s diplomatic standing after the brutal and ultimately disastrous War of Balthnian Independence from 1992-1997.

Now 35 years old with a 7 year old daughter named Zoya, a small bright blonde-haired blue-eyed little girl. She never told anyone aside from her mother who the father was, however a few people back in the mid 2010’s would recall her taking frequent secret trips to the Republic of Sverigen within the Union of Vynlandia and the Balthnian Republics. It was autumn and she had a large security detail with her guarding her property. A small Dacha about 30 kilometers north of the small town of Kavov. It was a small harbor town facing the sea of Balthnia; once known as the Lake of Balthnia not too long ago. The air was crisp, little Zoya was inside occupied by a colouring book, her mother preferred that than her mindlessly playing video games when she wasn’t at school.

She was waiting for an important guest, a leader that she has been wanting to reach out for a long time. High Commissioner Jorman Sygvaldi, she wants to reach out to that man. The war fought many ears ago, though it was lost on her country’s side. Tension still exists, and irridentism has been known to occasionally in an implicit way rear is ugly head. Skalvia for its crimes against humanity committed on the people of the people across the sea now Sea of Balthnia has been walled off diplomatically and not given a chance for redemption, she knew if this were to continue that her late father Emperor Sergey Vladislav Grogorvich’s ugly and venomous form of fascism will resurface, not from her however, but throughout Skalvian society. She went inside a looked wistfully at her daughter colouring and hugged her daughter and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

“Whats wrong mummy?” Zoya asked with a confused look on her face. “Nothing krolik.”

Diplomacy and Events / Breaking the Ice
« on: October 04, 2020, 11:03:57 AM »
Winter has come to Imperium of Kodumaa. The air is dry as bone and the winds are a harsh. The usual winter in Kodumaa is between minus 20-35 degrees Celsius. Today was such a day, the snow completely covered the mountains and highlands of Kodumaas north western region of Siyungou. The region is culturally distinct from the rest of Kodumaa as it is nearest to the Second Imperial Chinese Republic and home to most of Kodumaa’s Buddhist and Taoist people the Khümüüs (OOC: Mongols basically) as well as many Kodumaan born Chinese born of Chinese refugees fleeing the civil war.


The snow town of Tenger Khot of 1.4 million people was known for its tourism, mostly for its mountains and lush hills, in the winter it became a hub for the nations adventurous tourists and nature enthusiast to experience nature and tough it out in the outdoors with various snow resorts and surrounding geysers and camping sites in Kodumaans known frigid tundras.

Such nature tourists included both Crown Princess Yasna Sygvaldi and her older sister Princess Janna Sygvaldi. Yasna wearing black fur clothing with a matching thick fur hat and Janna in white matching the snow outside. The two royals were staying at a resort simply known simply as Royal Suvd Resort, a luxury lodging and cabin settlement in the Suvd Mountains 15 kilometers east outside of Tenger Khot proper.


The two princesses just finished getting settled in their rooms which were opposite eachothers with their security detail nearby.  The two of them where in the lobby downstairs dressed rather casually to not catch attention eating Khuushuur, a type of dumpling with beef mutton filling with garlic, chives and onion common in this part of Kodumaa. Janna wasn’t drinking today; her sister Crown Princess Yasna however was having some shots of Chinese Baiju. “You know sis drinking alcohol like that in temperatures such as this isn’t good for you, you know that right?”

Yasna replied “Relax sis, were on vacation, besides I’ve drank stronger stuff before.” Janna scoffed and responded “Yeah like last year when we were in Yulvitsk and you accidently threw up on me at St Boronsov’s Church?” Yasna signed in frustration “You’re not going to let that go, are you?” Janna was rubbing her forehead in frustration. Yasna’s expression changed to a goofy grin “Holy shit, will you relax, I mean jeez, were in Royal Suvd Resort. A place known for its spas, hot springs and natural geysers around here a plenty and tons of places to ski and snowboard, just loosen up, I mean hell you might even meet some cute guys around this time of year.”

Janna replied “You sound like mum. Are you going to be on my case and try to set me up too and start pressuring me to have grandchildren?” Yasna chuckled “What? No…She does have a point though…I mean you’re what 31 now, you’re not getting any younger. Unlike me who still has her youth an vitality.” She said glibly with the same obnoxious grin on her face knowing how to get under her sisters skin ever so slightly. Janna gave her sister a slight scowl “Wow, ok, well I’m leaving now.”She got up and made proceeded to leave while her sister said “Oh come on don’t leave, we need to go over your retirement, plan, get your affairs in order.” Janna simply ignored her sister while giving her the middle finger while Yasna was smiling the whole time.

Janna made her way to her room and put on her navy blue and while one-piece ski outfit made mostly of waterproof fabrics of nylon, spandex, and wool. She then made her way to the chairlifts with her snowboard waiting in line dressed conventionally to not rase any attention.

The small town of Émeraude, in the North East alps of the Republic of Fleur. The Empress of Kodumaa was in the town in the summer as a low-key vacation, away from the cold mountains of Kodumaa and away from the political hustle and bustle of Stolitsa. She was in a small coastal town known for its wine and seafood. She was with her older adoptive daughter and Duchess of Broukova, Janna Catherine Sygvaldi and her younger biological daughter and Crown Princess, Yasna Jormin Sygvaldi I. It was midday and all of them wearing lightly coloured sundresses. 

They were all dining at a small café near the harbour known only as “Le citronnier” Yasna asked while she was dining on some Quiche “Mum, while this is a nice town and all and I do like the relaxed atmosphere and sea air, why are we here?” Empress Myna smiled and chuckled “Well, this is where your father was born Yasna, his home town, its also the same town where you were conceived.”

She says while she smiled Janna simply put her knife and fork down as she was helping herself to her mini Flammekueche and said “I’m suddenly not hungry anymore.” Yasna sighed “Can you at least give me a warning before you say something like that.” She said with a scowl on her face.

The Empress merely replied to her daughter “I’m sorry dear I’m only human, with needs and your father was able to meet those needs…With a ferocious appetite, like a depraved cheetah.” Janna almost choked while sipping on champagne and coughed “Ok well there goes my appetite for the rest of the day.” Yasna just sighed and put her  palm on her forehead out of frustration.

The Empress laughed some more “Oh both of you are just like him, prudish, but endearing…I wish he was still with us. I do miss him. Anyway, I am not here for nostalgia. I wish both of you to have some input in something. I’m thinking of getting us a vacation house. Outside of Kodumaa. Fleur is a nice peaceful and secular country, and I like visiting it occasionally, but whenever we come here we always have to make arrangements and accommodation. There is an estate not far from here, only 10 kilometers outside of this town. I have a meeting with the estates owner who was looking to sell. I have arranged a private meeting and inspection with the owner through his real estate agency. I want both of you to come. Afterall girls it will be your home too.”

Both of them agreed.

The next day they arrived at 12:00pm exactly. Politely waiting for the owner outside the gates as scheduled.

Diplomacy and Events / A covert visit.
« on: September 14, 2019, 11:33:54 PM »
12:00pm Guīwān, Sinsu

Rumours have been circulating over the past few days of sighting of mysterious Pavitr Parvati woman dressed in ornate Sarees. Most of the Pavitr Parvati community have been speaking that the woman is their ruler, Queen Lakshmana Chakravati, she was staying at a 5-star hotel resort in the cities central business district. While the Queen was there and people asked whether or not she was really the Queen of the nations Eastern neighboring nation she neither confirmed or denied the fact and always played it off with a laugh and says “I’m just an ordinary soul from Pavitr Parvat, that’s all”. She stayed under the alias of Chandra Kapoor.

She called her daughter Ishwari Chakravati is known to be studying for her MBA at National University of Guīwān in their graduate business school. Queen Lakshmana called her daughter as she knew that one of her classes was finishing at this time. Ishwari answered speaking in her native Hindi “Hi mum” the Queen answered “Hi dear, how’ve you been, I wouldn’t know seeing as you haven’t spoken to me for nearly a month.”She said with a somewhat deep but angry voice.

“Look mum, I’ve been busy…You know, studying.”

“That’s no excuse to practically ghost your own mother.”

Ishwari sighed in a frustrated tone. “You’re being dramatic. Come on. Besides there is nothing stopping you for coming here.”

“Oh, believe me dear I know.”

“Umm, ok…That sounds shady.”

“Maybe…I’ll see you soon…Real soon.”

Ishwari chuckled nervously “You’re already here aren’t you?”

Lakshmana giggled mysteriously “Maybe, Ta ta dear, enjoy your day.”

She then hung up leaving her daughter Princess Ishwari Chakravati to wonder how she will next encounter her mother.

The next few hours Ishwari found her mother sitting at the table of the White lotus pod. Her favourate café which she liked to grab a quick bite to eat and generally decompress in her off time, she sat down at the same table of her mother. “Ishwari sighed “Of Course you’re here. Also aren’t you worried about you know someone from the press finding you here?”

The Queen replied “No, besides, I’m not using my real name anyway. I’m not that much of an international public figure. So you know. I don’t really care. Neither should you really.”

Ishwari smiled somewhat. “Ah, well it’s fine I guess, so you’re here to see me?”

Lakshmana “Of course, when your younger daughter is studying abroad you would want to see them too…I’ve been staying at a resort hotel nearby and also been liaising with our embassy of how to keep this visit quiet. I don’t want to create work for this nation’s government. I’ll make my presence known here in due time.”

“Mum why do you always sound like some kind of villain or spy when you say stuff like that?”

Lakshmana shrugged her shoulders “I don’t know that is your weird paranoid perspective.”

Both of them proceeded to drink their tea and chat idly. Most of the patrons of the café understandably were discretely looking, especially the Pativr Parvati people wonder if the two women are who they thought they were.

Ok So I have a somewhat developed socialist state, don’t worry though, its not like the totalitarian Stalinist USSR, it’s a one party state yes, but the communist Stalinists were deposed in the 1970’s so now the more Nordic/central European welfare policies have kicked in and has relaxed the controls on human rights and censorship. So don’t worry, not the USSR. Anyway Viljandi has been a neutral country in terms of military and defence policy (Switzerland, Sweden & Finland). So yes No country gets by alone and  Viljandi needs friends, somewhat allies and trade partners.  So who is willing?
