Voodoo Nova Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 King Edward Raczyński called in his assistant. "Zoe, could you come here please" Zoe walked into his office. "I have an invitation I'd like you to deliver to Nikola Romanov." "Yes sir" Zoe mailed the invitation to Nikola Romanov, inviting him to Wawel Castle for a get together between families.

Mergerberger II Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 To: Edward Raczyński Comrade, I have received your invitation, and, as the nation which granted our land our freedom, I have nothing but respect for you and your gracious people. It is because of your generosity that we now exist, and there is no reason, nor will within me to consider declining this invitation. I shall arrive within an hour of this message's arrival at Wawel Castle, where we may discuss whatever business you may wish to discuss. Sincerely yours, Nikola Romanov 56 minutes after the message arrived on Edward Raczyński's desk, Romanov arrived in front of Wawel Castle, and entered. As his Polish escort led him around, he could not help but marvel at the castle's beauty, it reminded him of his home in Prague Castle, and upon meeting Raczyński, he was very calm and collected, he had dealt with important men before, and this was no different than the times he had met Visari in the name of his Emperor.

This is a meeting less of business and more of a catch-up. How's Czech Kingdom been since your formation" Edited July 10, 2009 by Voodoo Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergerberger II Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 "The Kingdom is doing quite well, comrade. Two of our largest companies have successfully received contracts to build infrastructure in Pakistan, one being a billion dollar wind farm and the other, they've said, will probably cost about half a billion when its all done, meaning that with taxes we get to collect three quarters of a billion dollars, which we can put to good use. It's going to either education or the beginning of a true military program, my top adviser says he'll flip a coin to see whether we get to kill with our guns or our thoughts. I owe you my life, comrade. If it weren't for you we wouldn't readily exist." He paused for a moment. "Do you have any tea? I really need a drink."

Which do you prefer?" The King paused. "That is good to here about the building contracts. I hope it all goes well for the employee's and companies. What plans do you have for education, should the coin toss favor that choice?" Edited July 10, 2009 by Voodoo Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergerberger II Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 "Education? I don't do education, you know that I am a military man. I'll throw the money at my Interior minister and say 'teach my kids', hopefully he'll find something good to do with it." Nikola chuckled. "I'd like some lemon tea, preferably, thanks."

Economic cooperation between our nations, which are so close geographically, ethnically, and politically. We already have similar economic policies, I know, and we both exist as Kingdoms. Certainly, I would absolutely adore an economic treaty promoting free trade and economic cooperation between our nations. Perhaps we could even go higher, and ally our states to defend one another against whatever the world might throw at us." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has also thought it good to sell off most of those war machines to allies at decent prices. If you are interested in improving your army or air force, I can certainly help you out."

All of those leaders that came before me put such work into building that magnificent beauty that I now call my home. It truly is huge, and I haven't even been to all of the rooms it it yet. Hopefully someday I can find out what's in the easternmost part of it. haha." "It is good that your wife is doing well. My wife actually only returned from the hospital about a week ago after giving birth to our first son. Happiest day of my life, I will tell you that," Romanov smiled and bit his pointer finger, remembering that day. "Comrade, I am going to go and make a phone call. When I return, within an hour a document should arrive here that will give both of us the time to review a treaty between our nations in the same spot. After that call is done and the treaty is signed, we can relax. Perhaps we can go down by the river, or take a boat ride." He left the room, and made a call to his Head of Diplomacy, who promised to get a treaty of mutual defense and economic cooperation to him within an hour. Romanov had actually already had such a treaty written, he did not think that the King of Poland would deny his request at all. He returned to the room. "There is a football match about to start between Poland and Czechia. Where is your television?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was designed specifically for close friends of ours to come and enjoy sports and movies with us on occasion. It is usually on Polsat Sport, or a similar channel." The King led his friend to the recreation room. Where there was a bar, couch, television... sort of like a "Man's Room".

Wonderful to see you, mate. Set that treaty down and watch football with us." After the game, they sat over the treaty, and Romanov signed it.

Article 4 The involved Parties do hereby agree to cooperate militarily in the event of a preemptive attack that has been prompted by the actions of another nation, however if it is deemed by the unengaged signatory that the attack made by the engaged signatory was not prompted, then any aggressive military cooperation becomes optional. Article 5 The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the two involved Parties. Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security . Article 6 For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack: on any outlying territory of either Party which is not either in Europe or is otherwise disconnected from their mainland territory.

Article 8 Each Party declares that none of the international engagements now in force between it and any third State is in conflict with the provisions of this Treaty, and undertakes not to enter into any international engagement in conflict with this Treaty. Article 9 The Parties hereby establish decent diplomatic contact, meaning that they shall remain in friendly contact with one another as much as possible. Both parties are encouraged to, but not required to, approach each other and coordinate foreign policies based on the ideas of both nations, and discuss all disagreements in a cordial and friendly fashion.

Article 13 After the Treaty has been in force for two years, either Party may cease to be a Party one month (48hrs) after its notice of denunciation has been given to the Government of the opposite party. Article 14 This Treaty, of which the English, Polish, and Czech texts are equally authentic, shall be deposited in the archives of the Government of the Czech Kingdom. Duly certified copies will be transmitted by that Government to the Government of other signatory. Romanov signed it for the Czech Kingdom.
