OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NEW DERUSMIA


To: King David III

In previous years, New Derusmia sent its most modern research vessels and ships that could traverse through the harshest environments for the purposes of peaceful scientific advancement. This year, the Navy has requested to send its newly upgraded (upgraded in the sense of upgraded seafaring capability) Ceremonial Flagship for display at the Festival of Sail. In the spirit of friendship, goodwill, and in sincere remembrance of the days of brutal conflict behind, we would like to send the proudest and largest member of the New Derusmian fleet to represent our nation: KDMS Teutonia. The largest warship ever designed and built by any Derusmian Navy, today she sails as a link to the past, to a time of conflict and war for which she was constructed. As a partial floating museum, the majority of the ship will be on display to the public once docked in Portworth and complementary guided tours will be offered to guests of honour at the Festival.

Arriving alongside KDMS Teutonia will be the luxury ocean liner SS Wikinger III, the largest preserved historical ocean liner in New Derusmia. It will be carrying myself and other guests to the Festival and will also serve as a dining and events venue for the New Derusmian delegation.

In his presidential aircraft, Ebston Feish had been reading an official document on the customs and etiquettes of Clysperis. Considering the previous relations between this country which his government had once declared as a national enemy, he elected to educate himself on how to behave properly in this relatively foreign land. He was sincerely hoping to not offend the ones that had invited him here and refused to make a fool of himself like he did a year prior. As the plane touched down at Setri's airport, Ebston looked out his window and took in his new surroundings.

The terminal and its infrastructure was relatively small compared to the ones at Metria or Mitthakenburg, but nonetheless it was impressive for a nation that had just come out of a massive conflict. The area was remarkably clean and free from rubble unlike the images he had seen directly after the end of the Clysperi Civil War, the word 'war-torn' did not first come to mind as he observed the land around him. Beyond the terminal were massive desert plains unlike anything Ebston had ever personally seen and served as a massive reminder that this country would be nothing like New Derusmia in terms of geography, climate, or culture. In the far distance he could spot the skyscrapers of the city of Setri, where he'd be staying for the next three days.

As the plane rolled to a halt on the apron, Ebston closed the document on his phone and left his seat. Declaring to himself that he was ready, he made his way to the front door for disembarkation.

"Jesus Christ." Ebston first thought as the door swung open. "This is no place to be wearing a full business suit."

The heat was what first struck him and the passengers onboard the plane. Coming from a nation where temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius were the norm, the New Derusmians would have to get used to the arid climate. Almost completely blinded by the sun, Feish came off the aircraft holding tight to the handrail as he made his way down the ramp. After walking a small distance, he would finally come face to face with the Clysperi delegation and Pharaoh Akasha herself.

"Your royal majesty," Feish said in a courteous manner. "It is an honour to be finally meeting you in person. I have high hopes for the tour of Setri's sporting facilities, I've heard only good things about it."

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NEW DERUSMIA


To: Pharaoh Akasha Di-‘nh-mi-Re

As the overseer to a successful Mundus Games in 2019, I would be honoured to accept this invitation. Since the Civil War, we have witnessed remarkable progress in reconstructing the nation and it is our belief that the Clysperi decision to hold the Mundus Games this year is a hallmark of this significant post-war recovery. Additionally, I look forward to meeting your royal highness personally for the first time and I hope that despite tensions between our nations in the past, this meeting will open a pathway to cordial relations.

As per my previous public statement, I humbly accept your personal invitation to attend the enthronement of the Crown Princess and honoured to bear witness to this historical event; the closing of the Saisei Era and the commencement of the Sutaraito Era. I would also like to offer my congratulations to the future Empress and wish her well in her reign.

I will be representing the Federal Republic of New Derusmia alongside members of my own administration. It is also hoped that the heads of state of the SANE nations will be in attendance as well.

RE: MIDORI RYŪ UPDATE
Addressed to all those concerned

18/6/2022
President Ebston Feish

The united nations of SANE respectfully thank the Empress for making the decision to cancel Operation Midori Ryū. We are grateful that a swift, peaceful conclusion was met and it is our earnest hope that situations such as these never repeat themselves again for the sake of interregional concordance. Once again, SANE salutes the Imperial Administration for making the sensible choice, and we hope that this peaceful resolution can only open avenues for well-intentioned diplomacy, cooperation, and understanding from here on out.

As one of the first challenges I had met in my Presidency, I can clearly recall the tensions that rose between the First Empire and the Federal Republic and it is my sincere hope that the relations between our combined nations never return to the low level that they once were at. The normalising of relations that we have worked so hard to attain has become a blessing and a massive relief for New Derusmia, and we hope to not lose two years of hard work to meagre disagreements and misunderstandings. "May all paths by peace be lighted so that no mother shall again mourn her son." is a passage from the New Derusmian national anthem, written during a time when the country was in a state of absolute disrepair and despair, written in the wake of the brutal Civil War which had destroyed so many lives, livelihoods, and separated families. I wish no nation such painful loss, and it is for this reason that I vow to consistently normalise and foster peaceful cordial relations with the nations of the region and beyond. This has been the aim of my administration since normalising of relations with Rokkenjima and I will continue to abide by it.

Therefore, I respectfully accept your personal invitation to the Crown Princess' coronation. I oblige my fellow heads of state of the nations of SANE to do the same.

Thank you.

“A summit seems like a good idea to me.” Replied Feish. “In a situation like this, I believe fostering both positive, cordial relations and cooperation between the companies of our two nations would be the best course of action.”

Ebston thought a while on the draft he had received earlier after Governor Anginer mentioned it. To his knowledge, there seemed to be no issue other than that of the actual location.

“I think the draft looks fine to me,” Feish had stated. “Although on the issue of the island that this project will break ground on, perhaps it’d be best to seek an advisor? If you wish, I can request a representative of the Geographical Commission to join us for the remainder of the meeting.”

6:30PM, Palast Der Republik, Metria

After an eventful day of giving press statements, replying to official letters, and attending a session of the Domestic Assembly, Ebston Feish was finally making his way to his personal office in the Palast der Republik. He walked the hallway leading up to the Presidential Office at a relaxed pace, as all the work for today had been completed. Through the office’s windows shone the warm glow of the setting sun, a further reminder that yet another busy day in Metria was coming to a close.

Ebston had been in the midst of packing up to go home when an assistant had briskly rapped on the massive wood double doors leading into the office.

“Mr. President,” They had stated through an intercom. “A package and letter addressed to your name has arrived from Madam Francine Therz, from Heyra.”

As the attendant lay the parcel on the desk, Ebston took note of its weight. He wondered what could be inside? As he thanked the leaving attendant he sat back down on his desk and began carefully unwrapping the paper the package came with to reveal a relatively large wooden box that bore the symbol of the Heyran Republic. He noticed its similarities with the box of whiskey that Governor Anginer had gifted him days ago and smiled. Not much to his surprise, Ebston had been gifted another bottle of high quality Heyran whiskey. Enclosed alongside it was a letter from Chairwoman Therz herself. He took time to read through the cordial letter, smiling. “Definitely could’ve handled it better…” he thought to himself as he remembered King Lapu’s remarks during the Operation Midori Ryū situation. As common courtesy, he decided to write a letter back. Grabbing a pen and a template for a diplomatic message he began writing a reply for Therz, sipping on the whiskey throughout.

Once he finished writing the reply he called up an assistant to send the message for him, thanking them for their services in bringing the parcel earlier. Ebston put aside the bottle of whiskey as he did so; he would save it for later. Ebston sat back for a while, bathing under the pleasant and gentle light of Metria’s evening sun. He elected to catch the 20:00 Neuhauptline back to Neu Kaunderstein instead.





OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NEW DERUSMIA


To: Chairwoman Therz

I would like to thank you greatly for this bottle of whiskey. Governor Anginer had given me a bottle of a similar brand during our meeting in Metria earlier this month and I had been meaning to try it again since. Thanks once again, and I hope to return the favour soon enough. I am enjoying it thoroughly as I write this reply to you.

As for the recent situation with Rokkenjima, I am simply grateful that the situation did not escalate beyond the levels of two to three years ago, during a time of great tension between the newly founded SANE and First Empire. Fortunately, those days are long behind. I agree with your point on diplomacy, for it is moments like these that remind the world that civilised, honest diplomacy truly is the greatest countermeasure a nation could have in its arsenal, the greatest tool a government can access to defuse international tensions.

While I believe the situation earlier this week could certainly have been handled better initially, it seems as though all has ended well. Future brightful days to you too, esteemed Chairwoman, and I hope that the Olympus 2022 Naval Exercises between our united states will continue forward uninterrupted and will inspire much cooperation between our military forces in the future.

With many thanks,


President of the Federal Republic of New Derusmia

THE SOUTH ARDIAN NEW ELECTORATE'S REVISED STANCE ON OPERATION MIDORI RYŪ
Addressed to all those concerned

13/6/2022
President Ebston Feish

I regret to inform the Imperial Administration of Rokkenjima that the united governments of SANE deny this compromise. Additionally, SANE beseeches the Imperial Rokkenjiman Navy to cancel its upcoming operation in the Southern Strait of Shaw and leave the Olympus Exercises in peace.

Despite our cordial relations, internal discontent with, alongside the opposition of our esteemed guests at the Olympus exercises, with the Rokkenjiman decision to execute a shadow operation in monitoring and simulating battle on multiple warships owned by SANE and SANE Observer nations has moved our governments to revoke the previous statements made by the New Derusmian government. Furthermore, the New Derusmian government had enormously underestimated the threat posed by the prospect of 6 to 9 highly capable nuclear-powered submarines being in attendance at the exercises. We refuse to be tracked by Rokkenjiman vessels for the use of military training and we request that for the safety of all parties involved that the Imperial Rokkenjiman Navy removes itself from the region for the duration of Olympus.

If building up of trust and solidarity between the nations of SANE and Rokkenjima is what is desired, then this is not the correct course of action. We hope that the contents of this message is clear.

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NEW DERUSMIA


To: Chairwoman Therz

Firstly, I would like to cordially greet you through this letter. I hope you have been fairing well since our meeting in Nueva Lungsod.

Your concerns are not unfounded, Rokkenjiman naval activity has been a major controversy and SANE, in its earlier days, had indeed been under threat by Rokkenjima. However, Relations between New Derusmia and Rokkenjima, have since normalised and suspicion of secret IRN activities within the Antalin Sea and beyond have close-to dissipated with the introduction of a defence-prioritised naval doctrine. The signing of a Non-Aggression Pact between the founding members of SANE and Rokkenjima has further subdued suspicion and hostile opinions of the First Empire.

The New Derusmian government respects both the Heyran Republic and the First Empire of Rokkenjima as future partners and wishes to aid in the potential normalisation of relations between the two countries. Therefore, we choose not to participate in these shared information gathering activities.

Despite this, I do believe that international cooperation between our seafaring nations, one not against any particular nation or organisation, would certainly be beneficial for reasons beyond increased military preparedness and intelligence gathering. For this reason, a delegation from New Derusmia will be in attendance, not including myself. If you may approve, they will be observing the conference rather than taking an active part, and any treaty or agreement created as a result of this meeting will not be signed immediately but possibly at a later date by either myself or under my approval.

With all due respect,


President of the Federal Republic of New Derusmia
Ebston Feish

RE:RE:OPERATION MIDORI RYŪ
Addressed to all those concerned

13/6/2022
President Ebston Feish

The New Derusmian government respects the cordial relationship between SANE and the First Empire, and thus is requesting the dispatch of four liaisons representing all nations taking part in the Olympus exercises, namely:

- The Federal Republic of New Derusmia
- The Republic of Longdi
- The Kingdom of Quintelia
- The Republic of Heyra

Thank you.

REGARDING UPCOMING ROKKENJIMAN NAVAL ACTIVTIES
Addressed to all those concerned

13/6/2022
Großadmiral Kiril Hanaway of the New Derusmian Federal Navy

The New Derusmian government and the Federal Navy wishes to advise all naval assets participating in the Rokkenjiman 'Operation Midori Ryū' to stay a reasonable distance (at least 10 nautical miles) away from the upcoming Olympus joint naval exercises. Naval assets belonging to the combined nations of SANE and the Heyran Republic will be taking part in both surface and subsurface manoeuvres and live fire exercises in various, clearly marked regions of the Antalin Sea and Quinntopian Bay, and it is advised that no unauthorised foreign warship trespass into these regions for the duration of the exercises. This is in order to maintain the safety of all ships taking part and reduce the risk of both disrupting the exercises and live-fire incidents involving foreign vessels.

Thank you.

"Sernoburg? Good choice, Governor. The city has earnt a new nickname within the recent decade; 'Chamwick of the South', they call it nowadays." Feish said, referring to the heavy concentration of prestigious universities and high tech companies taking residence there recently.

"Naturally, I would have to get in contact with the city's administration for the planning process, but I'm confident that they would accept the idea. A proposal such as this could only aid a city that is already undergoing rapid development. With the location situation, we'd also have to get into contact with the Geographical Commission to find a suitable piece of land off the coast of Sernoburg. Surely it will not be a lengthy process."


16
“I’d have to agree with you, Governor Anginer, reputation and public perception are of paramount importance in our line of work.” Feish gave a half-smiled reply while recalling the Clypseris fiasco of last year, his own actions causing a collapse in the popularity of his party, the Democratic Socialists. Following that humiliating loss, the DSP’s popularity increased but not to the level it had been at before. Feish’s party had gone from completely ahead of all parties in the Domestic Assembly to barely clinging onto first place, and they were actively losing ground to the likes of the New Derusmian Nationalists.

Considering this, Feish pondered a while on Anginer’s question before replying. “Well, as long as such a project were to go smoothly without excessive delay and needless spending, I believe our government will remain popular in the eyes of the public.” He replied, smiling more sincerely than previously. “Although looking at previous works like Elysium, I doubt any sort of problems would arise in this case.”

17
"Well, I'm all for it." Feish replied at Anginer's mentions of further SANE cooperation. "With no doubts, I can assure you Governor Anginer that the New Derusmians and SANE as a whole have greatly benefited from the newfound friendship between our states. In these times of relative economic stability and unprecedent growth, I believe international cooperation is the greatest of options."

Upon the mention of the Elysium Project, Feish smiled, giving his reply. "I have only heard good things about Elysium, from unpopulated swampland to a full-blown hub of commerce and entertainment renowned throughout the Mid-Aranye in only three years, I'd be a liar if I said the achievement wasn't astounding. Although, I do recall there was an unfortunate military incident last year. My condolences, Governor. " At the mention of the incident, he paused.

"Forgive me, it seems I've gone off topic... Anyways, I presume you've arrived in Metria to propose a similar project in New Derusmia? If that is the case, I would certainly welcome it. A similar project would certainly be of great economic benefit to both our nations, however it would require a significant amount of planning."

18
"Ah, Chairwoman Therz of course. I hope she has been doing well as of late." Feish replied to Anginer as the two made their way past the Palast's foyer. "..and it is quite surprising to know that you were based in Metria a while back, this city really has grown since then. I believe I was a mere representative in the Assembly around that time.. Anyways, welcome to our humble governmental headquarters. I hope you'll find your visit to this magnificent building as pleasant as your previous time in the capital."

As the two went down a hallway, Governor Anginer gave Feish a gift: A bottle of high quality whiskey, nestled in a wooden box.

“To good times indeed!” Feish replied eagerly to Anginer as he took the box of whiskey into his own hands, grinning at him as he received the gift. “Thank you Governor, I appreciate it very much.”

Taking note of the surprisingly heavy box’s expensive wooden construction, Feish carried it to the end of the hallway before carefully placing it on the table at the designated conference room. The room in question was fairly small, able to accommodate a small group. Modern and luxurious furnishings populated the space, with two armchairs and tables being placed centre stage. Feish would speak first as he spread open the curtains, revealing a wall-spanning window that overlooked the Palast’s park below. The morning sun’s light peeking through the snowy clouds flooded the room to a satisfactory level.

“I’ve chosen this room for its more personal layout, per se. It’s in these conference rooms that Ministers and other Heads of States have held meetings with officials from more cordial nations, and I hope that you’ll enjoy these furnishings during your time here. Judging from the subject of your letter, it seems we may be discussing this prospect until the early evening.”

He invited Anginer to sit down first before sitting down himself. Now fairly settled down and slightly sinking into his armchair, Feish spoke again.

“Now, where shall we begin?”

19
7:53AM, onboard the Presidential Train en route from New Kaunderstein to Metria

On his daily commute from his home in Neu Kaunderstein to the capital of Metria, Ebston stared out the window of his train. The trip was nothing noteworthy, the scenery being mostly dimly lit tunnel walls. The majority of this short route weaved underneath the bustling metropolises of the Federal Capital Region, but there were occasional sections of track that were overground. It was at these sections that he took notice of the thin, albeit fresh layer of snow now adorning the rooftops of the cities.

Today's morning in Metria was hazy and cold, as was the usual weather in the Derusmian leadup to winter. As Ebston heard the rushing of freezing air past the window of the train, he had a brief moment of sorrow, knowing that he would also eventually have to step outside and face the temperature. With the deceleration of his train, Ebston stood from his seat and made his way to the vestibule, donning a formal winter coat. His entourage of other government officials making their way to Metria alongside the President and his security detail followed.

"This stop is Neu-Metria, Central Government District.[1] Alight here for the Palast Der Republik." a pre-programmed announcement rang out. Shortly afterwards, the warm air would be forced out in exchange for a freezing breeze as the train's doors glided open. Feish stepped onto the platform as he opened his phone to take another peek at his daily agenda, almost like going through the basic routine of the average city worker. It'd seem normal if the platform weren't so deserted, as they were reserved for NatRail's Special Government Service Division's Neuhauptline trains.

A brisk 5 minute walk from the station and Ebston had already arrived at the Palast Der Republik, the arranged meeting place between him and Governer Anginer of Heyra. 20 more minutes and his office was set up for the meeting. A minute later, and Ebston arrived back in the building's foyer in order to greet his Heyran associate. The two had already met in the past, and it seemed that their two nations were truly on their way to quite the mutual friendship. This upcoming meeting would surely cement it as, if all went well, would prove to be a major advancement for both New Derusmia and Heyra. Upon sighting the Heyran convoy approach from the fog, Feish gave a smile, a genuine grin. Today was looking up to be a good day for the entire nation.

"Governer Anginer, it's a pleasure for me to be hosting you today. I hope you'll come to enjoy our capital city."

As the group made their way down the Palast's entrance pathway, Feish remarked.

"Ah, yes. That's right, the topic of our meeting today. I look forward to hearing more about the proposal you sent to me earlier, it sounds very promising."
 1. In a similar fashion to the IRL Japanese Shinkansen, the New Derusmian Neuhauptline's stations are prefixed with 'Neu'.

Feish returned Anginer's handshake, gripping his hand with enthusiasm. "Same to you, Mr. Anginer. I hope for more cooperation sometime soon. And farewell to you too, Chairwoman Therz." As the group left the office, the attendants with him would close the door behind the group as they made their way through the entrance hall and to the revolving door where their security detail awaited them.

"Safe travels to the both of you!" He would exclaim in a friendly manner as they departed the SANE Headquarters. Feeling a sense of fulfilment and pride having completed his first diplomatic meeting on behalf of the electorate, he retreated to his office, sipping another glass of lychee juice.

ON THE CLYPSERIS SITUATION
Addressed to Pharaoh Akasha Di-‘nh-mi-Re and the Government of the Kingdom of Clypseris

22/8/2021
President Ebston Feish

It is my honour to publicly commend the Kingdom of Clypseris and its leadership on recently passed legislation. Today in the Domestic General Assembly, the same parliament that had once voted to support the Kingdom's opposition was now in applause following the announcement of new policies.

Firstly, I would like to congratulate Pharaoh Akasha Di-‘nh-mi-Re for signing the Uppsala Conventions on behalf of her nation. Secondly, I would like to like to extend a hand of welcome to the free world to the former servants of Clypseris. Secondly, I would like to congratulate the nation on abandoning its ancient policy of Indentured Servitude. To the Kingdom of Clypseris' administration and Assembly of Nomes and Priesthood, know that the Derusmian masses, the Domestic General Assembly, my government and I are in absolute approval with your choices made today.

And to the few families that are still clinging to their servants, I urge you. Give up your former servants, they do not belong to you. They are now property of the free world.

From these actions, it is evident that the Kingdom of Clypseris has truly entered a new era of evolution, and it is my earnest hope that the nation continues along this path.

"Of course, that's understandable." Feish replied to Anginer. "In the Electorate, each member nation's democratic institutions have the final say on whether a decision voted on by its representative actually takes effect in said nation."

Feish then replies to Therz. "Well, if I can remember clearly enough from my last briefing from the Director... The Unity Project is an umbrella term, referring to the combined space program of SANE, with Unity-1 being our first launch. Unity-1 will be using a space launch system designed for light to medium payloads, and we plan to standardise this design for future satellite launches. As for its satellites, Unity-1's satellites are essentially a 'demonstrator', so to speak. These are low-cost, small size, controllable satellites, designed for performing reconnaissance on Near-Mundus asteroids, studying their characteristics and whatnot. We hope to gather this data for many reasons such as for example, aiding us in asteroid impact avoidance in the future.

I'm terribly sorry if this all seems underwhelming, but it is indeed a big deal when you think about it. However, if you are interested..."

He glanced at the calendar to the side of his desk.

"...I'm afraid it's too far into development to allow another nation to begin engineering work with Unity-1, however any funds for the remainder of Unity-1's construction and design would still be greatly appreciated, and of course an opportunity to work on the next Unity Project enterprise."

Now turning to both, Feish spoke.

"Now, is there any other topics you would like to discuss, by the way?"

To: the Ardian Assembly

The South Ardian New Electorate, and by extension, its member nations, wish to express their disappointment over the recent decisions of the Rokkenjiman government. There was no prior warning before these severe sanctions were enacted, and there was no attempt made by Rokkenjima to communicate its grievances to the Ardian Assembly. Not only that, but no solid evidence was given at the time of the Press Release. Rokkenjima's actions are somewhat understandable, given the nation's contribution to the anti-slavery effort, however the willingness of the government to suddenly sanction Heyra despite it being within breach of multiple parts of the Ardian Assembly's Charter, especially 5.1, is unjustifiable.

SANE and its representatives are in full support of Duke Hugo Lascelles' proposal, and we hope that it will finally bring fairness and a satisfactory end to these hostilities.
