While we do not like the use of conflict to overthrow the government, as well as the situation that brought about a Communist front on our border, we will however recognize this new nation as a sovereign state and hope to ease any tensions between us.

The Kingdom of Baron thanks those nations, including the new RSFR for recognizing our Kingdom as a sovereign state. We hope to foster better relations with all of those nations.

Whenever you get the chance to make an update, (considering your current troubles, probably won't be for a while) I have claimed the Ursalian protectorate (the Yukon) under the name of the "Kingdom of Baron." Can it be made in a light blue color? Thank you, and I wish you the best of luck on your map.

With the fall of the Ursalian Monarchy to Communist members, the nobles that lived in the Yukon were now fearing for their lives in the event that the revolutionaries would try to stamp down any dissent here. It was time to break free from Ursalia, and make their own rule. The nobles rallied around one of their own, a noble by the name of Arthur Harvey. Over the course of the communist revolution in the home country, he had been working around the clock to support the current monarch. When the monarchy all but fell. Arthur and his cabinet decided that their is no point in trying to support their people and thus began a split from the motherland. ---- [center][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1OglV.png[/IMG][/center] [center]People of the Yukon. Our motherland is no longer able to provide us with safety, justice and governing quality. As such, we the Ursalian Yukon protectorate hereby declares ourselves as an independent state. We will not let anyone interfere with our way of life. We do not ask if you like or do not like us. We do not ask that you judge us, but we wish that we can respect each others sovereignty and brotherhood in the community of nations. In one week's time we will crown our nations first King, King Arthur I of Baron.

agreed...there are people with far more twisted "interests" than roleplay. ...I'm frustrated...

I wonder when I was here last... Nonetheless, to those guys who I'm familiar with and to those who aren't I wish you all a happy new year... Here's to 2011. EDIT: I post because even though I'm gone, I never forget the fun times here.

OOC: Since I'm too lazy to cover any achievements made daily, I decided to cover all important events Bi-Monthly starting with today. Also, I needed something to do to keep at it. IC: With French support, Galicia managed to recover from the Galician Crisis. Over the course of the month since the war began, the region has had a large population and economic boom, with the nation clearly far into the Green. The nation's autonomous Federal Police Force has increased in size to keep up with the Population Boom, doubling it's police forces to about 6,000. In addition, Galician natives have requested permission to join the French Royal Military, which has yet to be passed by Parliament before being sent to the Duke Philip Alphonse Zellise. La Coruna Air Port has recently completed it's expansion yesterday, allowing international flights to nations across Europe and North Africa. There are plans by Air Galicia to begin International flights from La Coruna to Manila to happen later this year. A Prominent Environmentalists has been made a major advisor to Prime Minister Fraga. His first order o business was the Establishment of a National Environment Month beginning last month. His support of the Environment won him much support both from the political scene as well as the people themselves, with the goal being to make La Coruna one of the cleanest cities in the world.

Galicia, being a French Dominion, will send in a Representative from the Galician Cultural Ministry

The French Dominion of Galicia has closed it's borders with Scottish Portugal while treating the symptoms of the plague in our hospitals and clinics.

OOC: What did I miss?

OOC: Okay, I apologize but real life issues were being....well, you know. IC: The next day, Duke Felepe Alfonso (as the Galicians took to calling him) d'Galice traveled to a business building, which served as the temporary Presidential Building (the actual building was still being repaired). Upon reaching the top floor, he saw Manuel Fraga, talking with the Internal Securities Minister, Sabela Gallego. "Bonjour, Senor Fraga, or should I say Hola?" The Duke said. "It is an honor to meet you, Your Royal Highness." The Prime Minister spoke. "Don't worry about the pleasentries. I just want to ensure that the people of Galicia are treated with the same respect as the French people back home." "Oh, I forgot to introduce my friend, this is Mrs. Sabela Gallego, the Minister of Internal Security in Galicia." "A Pleasure to meet you, sir." Gallego spoke. "Pleasure's all mine. Now, let's get down to business. After the conflict with Quintana's pro-Independence forces, many of the factories were damaged and Galicia's Industrial Capacity has stagnated." The Duke spoke aloud. "So I've heard, right now we are repairing our factories. However, with many corporations moving away from Galicia, those factories will remain vacant and many people out of the job." Fraga said with worry. "Then let that be our top priority. I've already sent out a letter to Empress Therese, and I am planning several trips to ensure that we get some corporations to help us in this situation."

[quote] Dearest Cousin, I have indeed made myself known with many of the Galician people. From the politicians to the people themselves, I feel that it was best that the Galicians are under French guidance. However, with many important buildings destroyed, it is imperative that we have a working, industrious people so their economy can be built back up. To do this, we suggest creating factories for textile making and automobile construction. Perhaps French car manufacturers may want to buy such factories for their use, and in turn boost the Galician economy. Another factor of building up Galicia's economy is in trade. A Coruna's port facility is the only major harbor in the country, and even then, it's small size will stunt economic growth to the region. As such, it is imperative that the Harbor facilities be expanded so that trade can be expanded in the region. Hopefully, relations with other countries will improve as well so that more nations will contribute to improving trade with the Dominion of Galicia. Finally, many of Galicia's hospitals and clinics were severely damaged in the Galician conflict. It is imperative that these should be repaired so that the longevity of the Galician people is secured. Once these are done, we will see what we can do to ensure that the culture of Galicia can be preserved, with some minor influences from French culture. Hopefully in doing so, Galicia will strive to become a powerful state in the French Empire. Well, I believe I've rambled enough in this letter, so I bid you farewell. I've scheduled a meeting with Mister Fraga tomorrow, and I am looking forward to meeting with him. Au revoir, and farewell. Sincerely, Philip Alphonse [/quote]
