The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 On August 25, 2012, the kingdom of Lansia was established in northern Australia with the help of about five dozen supporters. All hail King George! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) 8/25: After several hours of rioting, King George hired 60 soldiers on the behalf of Lansia to maintain peace and security within the country. Additionally, approximately 10 levels of infrastructure were built at the cost of about $5,000, which provided residents of George City, the Lansi capital, with basic utilities and telegraph services. Also, the borders of Lansia recently expanded by 30 miles, ending a brief overpopulation crisis in the kingdom.

The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) 8/25: On the behalf of his country, King George has decided to issue a formal request for membership in the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization. If the request is accepted, then Lansia will enjoy numerous benefits provided by the alliance, including miiltary assistance in the event of an attack. Several Lansians have voiced opposition to the application, stating that the King "shouldn't request membership in an alliance so quickly", and that "we don't really need an alliance right now", but because Lansia "could really do with" trade partners and a source of military protection, to put it in the King's chief adviser's words, King George seems unlikely to end his quest for membership in an alliance anytime soon.

The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) 8/25: In response to an unexpected spike in drug trafficking, King George has ordered the military to be positioned at all passport checkpoints inside the country to inspect visitors for drugs. The King has also signed legislation that would allow powerful legal penalties to be applied against convicted drug traffickers and users. However, King George's bold actions has its shortcomings-the drug dealers may perform violent crimes in Lansia until either they or the King's legislation are removed: less than hour after the King's orders were issued, a murder attempt was carried out against a senior adviser to the King, and at least three veichle bombings have been attempted so far in the capital city.

The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) 8/25: Earlier this day, a trade agreement was signed between the New Free Republic and Lansia. The trade agreement will result in the frequent transfer of the natural resources of both signatories. King George has pledged to be peaceful with Lansia's trade partner, and has also promised to retain the agreement for "as long as possible". This is the first foreign affairs event that has occured so far in the kingdom, and an official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that "we may get a bit more busier in the next few days" Edited August 29, 2012 by The King of Lansia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) 8/25: The King has recently passed the NoFILth (No Filth In Lansia) Act, which will ban consular and diplomatic relations with any nation that does not show an effort in maintaining a civilized government. King George states that the law will ban diplomacy with any nation that has one of the following: -A totalitarian government -A cruel or excessively negligent leader -Laws restricting the right to a fair trial and unexcessive punishment/bail, the right to assemble peacefully, the freedom of speech, expression, the press, thought, information, religion, movement, or association. -At least one labor camp -Laws allowing anything that a reasonable person would describe as illegal -Policies that put the needs or wants of the government in front of the needs or wants of the people The NoFILth Act has been moderately controversial, and some have said that Lansia's current government does not meet the requirements of the act. The King discounts those claims, stating that Lansia is "definitely better than any country that has, say, a labor camp." Others have asked why the new law does not ban trade relations with "uncivilized nations", to which King George has responded by stating that "no matter what", he will only sign trade or aid agreements with "morally responsible" states, and that the NoFILth act "should be enough right now in penalizing the uncivilized nations of this planet." However, both of the King's claims are disputable, and regarding the last matter, it seems unlikely that King George will sign legislation that would officially restrict the nations that Lansia would be able to trade with, as Lansia currently needs access to as many resources as possible.

The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) 8/26: Yesterday, an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs predicted that "we may get a bit more busier in the next few days" after a trade agreement was signed with the New Free Republic. Today, the Lansi government is proud to announce that the official's prediction came true! A request to set up formal diplomatic ties with the Maritime Republic of J Andres (colloquially known as J Andres) has received partial clearance, and both a new trade agreement and a foreign aid offer were handled within the same day. Although it seems unlikely that the Ministry will remain "busy" for long, it appears to be a good sign that the King is starting to seriously engage in foreign affairs.

The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) 8/26: Today, because of a large shipment of money from the kingdom of Rockband, the King has been able to order the construction of 360 levels of infratsructure, the purchase of about 50 levels of technology (which both attracted hundreds of immigrants into the country), and the hiring of an undisclosed number of spies. Additionally, the King purchased enough land to expand Lansia's borders by nearly a hundred miles, which greatly lowered the population density of the nation. The transactions have greatly improved the quality of life for Lansi citizens, especially the construction of infrastructure and the recent import of more advanced technology, which has provided Lansians with access to a national railroad (run by secondhand steam engines), more reliable power services (the technology at the Lansi National Power Station was upgraded considerably), a better telegraph network, as well as basic intra-nation phone services, which the government is planning to use to set up a national computer network in the near future. King George has publicly announced his gratitude to the ruler of Rockband (also called Rockband), and now appears to be more eager to get money for his kingdom. Could Lansia be approaching a new era of prosperity? Edited August 29, 2012 by The King of Lansia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) 8/26: Recently, King George created the Lansi National Air Force (LNAF) by purchasing 5 warplanes at the cost of approximately $50,000. The aircraft purchased were three Yakolev fighter planes and two bomber helicopters manufactured by Bell. King George states that the creation of the LNAF will "greatly reduce" the possibility of an attack from the air. "With the presence of the air force and the protection of GATO, Lansia's current security situation should be considered very good", said the King. While that may be disputable, it is true that Lansia's military is going through a moderately large expansion project, which aims to "preserve the safety of Lansia, its people, and its friends".

The Lansi diplomatic mission to J Andres is located at 17 Embassy Circle, Endor Cuidad. 15 personnel are located inside the Lansi embassy, and Lansi citizens visiting J Andres may request any form of assistance at the embassy.

The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 8/28/2012: Today, Lansia has been granted full membership in the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization, and has taken on the full rights, privleges, and obligations of GATO member-states. King George has created a national holiday called Alliance Day, which will occur yearly on August 28. The King has also adopted Lansia's new flag, the official flag of GATO.

The King of Lansia Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Today, The King has agreed to sell technology to two larger nations at the 3m/50 rate. The money was wired today, and an official from the Ministry of Trade has stated that the technology that the larger nations bought will "almost certainly" arrive at their destinations in about 10 days. The deals have been very profitable for Lansia, according to one of King George's advisers, with an estimated profit of at least $4 million.

The King of Lansia Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thank you for your kindness and continued support...without J Andres, I probably would've left Lansia by now, to be frank with you. You really have been Lansia's first true ally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Lansia Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Recently, after a string of terrorist attacks executed against Lansia that were presumably sponsored by drug cartels, King George has stepped down from his fierce stand against drugs, and is now adopting a milder, less aggressive stance. Although the use and trafficking of drugs in Lansia is still illegal, there will no longer be any military support in "drug bust" operations, and instead, plans to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate Lansians of the dangers of drug use shall be put into action.

The King says that "with Lansia on the map, people will take us at least a bit more seriously..we won't be just another young nation on Planet Bob."

The King of Lansia Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Today, King George has placed trade and diplomatic sanctions on the nation of Hotshotaplis for attacking the New Free Republic, an official trade partner of Lansia. "The leader of that nation attacked the N.F.R. for absolutely no reason other than obtaining their resources. That is outrageous, completely outrageous", said The King. The King has also condemned TUFF, the alliance that Hotshotaplis belongs to, for "allowing unprovoked raids to be conducted against peaceful nations". King George is considering sending foreign aid to the New Free Republic, although that currently appears to be slightly difficult, as Lansia is "very cash-strapped right now", according to an official in the Ministry of Finance.
