[b]Presidential Manse, Lvov[/b] In a hollow chamber of panels of oak and a hardwood floor, where ten feet tall floor to ceiling windows reigned supreme, there is a round table. This round table is surrounded by five chairs. Each is occupied by one of the most important people in the government of Khislav: President Valinkovo Somonov, Prime Minister Veronika Tatarin, State Minister Nikolai Malkin, Defense Minister Ivan Holender, and Interior Minister Lesya Moszynksi. Every morning, unless one of them was fated to be away on business, they meet in this room devoid of decoration - spartan - and talk of important matters. Before each individual is a black, leather-bound notebook decorated only with the seal of Khislav in gold. Yellow legal paper for notes within and various official documents of varying levels of drama, to be sure. "Good morning, everyone," President Somonov said, and set aside his folded up newspaper. Nods greet him around the table. "Shall we begin?" "We shall," replied Minister Malkin. "But first, let me open by saying the Lvov Accords are proceeding with some difficulty." All eyes float to him. "Why am I not surprised?" Minister Holender groaned alloud, though no one seemed to mind. "Unfortunately, I must parrot the feelings of the good General," added Prime Minister Tatarin, placing her glasses upon her face. "The talks have been formal for only one day," Somonov said with a definite tone of finality. "There are more pressing matters to address." Everyone opens the slim, black book before them. An uneasy silence seemed to claim the throats of all those present. In the morning hours when the sun lanced over the horizon those in the room were at their best. Their minds agile and new. The quietus that gripped them was simply one of uncertainty. The economy is to be the subject of the day and yet so much is not yet worked out. As a gesture of good will to their sponsors in the German Democratic Republic they had called their currency the K-mark, abbreviated Km. The GDR had done much to convince the Slavic Union to untether the small nation of Khislav as it was being formed. Such a tribute was only fair to the eyes of many. Without the GDR, Khislav would not exist. The official report contained within the binders had been put together by Treasury Minister Abram Ruskova. "As you can plainly see," Minister Moszynski shattered the silence. "As the budget stands we'll be looking at a slight deficit." "The ink on the map is still wet. This is a new nation, is that not to be expected?" Offered Malkin. "Of course," Tatarin answered. "So what is the issue?" "If we trim any of these programs we're looking at a cut in funding to vital operations, such as public safety or public works." "And defense?" Holender, always looking out for his own niche in the budget, interjected. "And defense," Moszynski offered. "What about raising taxes?" "No, general, we're not going to present a tax hike to the High Council for your precious military." "It would appear the Interior Minister has fangs," President Somonov said with a chuckle as Holender composed himself. "Surely you recall that it was the military that helped stabilize Khislav in it's infancy, Ms. Moszynski. We had no police force, we had no public offices of any kind. It was on the backs of the soldiers that Khislav survived to see today. That said, we are not surrounded by enemies at the present time and our future is not uncertain. I believe that a slight reduction in military spending is not uncalled for. Let us bring the issue of the revised budget to the attentions of the High Council and see where they take it. This is a democracy, afterall." Everyone nodded all around the table in response. That was what Khislav was born of: democracy. "What else?" Somonov prodded. "We need to decide what is absolutely necessary to Khislav's future and what is not." "Public transportation seems to be over-funded," Malkin spoke up after a moment. "Ridership is still growing and fares are high," Moszynski continued. "According to the Director the funding is good." "Good? That's a start," said Somonov, lighting a cigarette and listening to his ministers.

Science has proven that the attention span of most people is absurdly low. I gave up a long time ago on constructing elaborate storylines or writing short novels (I used to, believe me). Something else this taught me: you don't have to be long-winded to give a storyline life - but on the other side of the coin, not everyone seems to be here to write a story. A good majority of people seem to be here to compete, which is a shame, but that's true in any RP setting. As a result, I see no reason to craft my stories as I would have in the past. It would be a waste of time and the crux of any issue would be lost on the readers; not because they're incapable, but because they don't really care. I'll just go with the flow.

"I only mentioned three again because it would require three of our engines," Simonovich said with a smile. "If it would only require two of yours, then very well. As far as further prototypes go, we have none, this is the only one. The carbon composite airframe is very expensive for us to produce. I'll ensure you receive the full schematics and our own wind tunnel and flight data for comparison. Oh, and if you like we can ship the engines we used for flight testing to your engineers. The K-93-152f engines we used will let you see how the engines fit in the nacelles. It's a tight squeeze and it will save you some work."

[quote name='king of cochin' date='04 March 2010 - 11:30 PM' timestamp='1267763703' post='2214550'] The RD932 delivers a dry thrust of 6570 kgf and an afterburner thrust of 11800 kgf. Used in the JM1 it gives a maximum speed of Mach 2.43 and a thrust to weight ratio of 1.16. For the Kv300 we can customize it to deliver a thrust to weight ratio of 0.98 or any measure that you want. As for testing it can be done at our flight testing facilities here itself. [/quote] As the men spoke, the aircraft was plucked from the 'Condor', rolled down the cargo ramp, and onto the tarmac. The wings were bolted on in short order by the competent team of plain-clothes technicians, and everything was squared away. The sleek aircraft looked almost as if it could take off without engines! Having brought a specialized tow truck with them, the tractor was slowly backing up to the nose of the aircraft. When the tow bar was close enough two of the techs rushed in and affixed it with a bolt to the landing gear. The great hangar swallowed it up as it was towed into it's depths. All that was left was to re-install the vertical stabilizer. "That sounds excellent. With three engines we have calculated the necessary thrust-to-weight ratio to be 0.43 to achieve Mach 1.9. Our goal is Mach 2+ with an ideal top speed of at least Mach 2.5 or 3,062 kilometers per hour. We've done only limited low-level testing with domestic engines, but none were capable enough to give us the results we wanted - but we know it flies true. How long can we expect fitting the engines and preparation for first flight to take?"

State Minister Nikolai Malkin replied: "Firstly, the Slavic Federation is not being asked to do anything other than maintain stability in the region. We are all brothers here and family works together. Unless of course, instability is part of this ominous 'agenda'. Secondly, very well, if that is the position of the Slavic Federation. But take note that no nation has refuted the sovereignty of any of the proposed signatories. Thirdly, the delegate from the Slavic Federation would do well to remember that theirs is not the only nation in the region. You cannot honestly believe there will never be a time in which it might need aid. Fourthly, regional trade, according to the treaty, is not mandatory. Your point is moot. Fifthly, incorrect. The language used in several places stipulates quite specifically that no signatories are obligated to anything but what they could expect to receive themselves. These are uncertain times we live in. What affects our neighbors also affects ourselves. Sixthly, I may also seem redundant, but your neighbors are far more apt to concern themselves with your issues than nations half a world away. Assistance and relief could arrive over night as opposed to weeks. Imagine, if you will for just a moment, that nothing could threaten your borders, your nation, and you need only look outward? Is that not valuable? Desirable? To know that your 'back door' was never without security? There would be no cause for concern all along the entire length of the borders shared by signatories of this treaty. Knowing that you have made the region wherein your country lay more stable and not less? You offer naught but criticisms. The purpose of a drafting process is to revise the document. What corrections would you make? Or am I correct in believing that you would sign no treaty which called for such harmony in the first place? Place a version of the treaty as you would have it upon the table and these talks can move forward constructively."

Noting that the Republic of Greece did not RSVP, Khislav proceeds to issue the first draft of the Lvov Accords: [quote]Eastern European powers, In an attempt to engender lasting peace through Eastern Europe, Recognizing the spheres of influence of the signing nations, Venturing to protect the borders, population, and sovereignty of all involved, Looking to the mutual defense of the interests of ourselves and our neighbors, The Lvov Accords: Section I.

Well, I know how Fizzydog feels now. I just won my first war in-game, but it put me in anarchy and it looks like my budget will be in the red for at least three days. Ouch. I'm in no mood to adjust my stats for my nation at the moment - so I won't [b]unless I get into any wars on here[/b], until I get them back to the level they were at and/or beyond. If I do get into any wars in CNRP, I'll update my CNRP nation accordingly.

Covering over ten miles of enemy territory in a few hours and laying to waste 94 enemy tanks and over 1,600 enemy soldiers, Khislav seems to be making good on the promise of it's leader that the war would turn around. In the air, a decisive battle took place, in which only a single Khislavite Air Force fighter was shot down, while ten Red Forest fighters fell from the skies. This paved the way for bombing sorties. It would seem that Khislav pilots have gained total air superiority over the enemy. After a very bumpy road in the first days of the conflict things seem to be looking up, with Khislav exacting a killing toll in both materiel and personnel assets of Red Forest. However, 800 Khislavites gave their lives in the fighting. The word from Lvov is that Red Forest has suffered 7,600 casualties in the fighting; Khislav: 9,300. [right]- Abram Lishin, CKK[/right]

If Voodoo Nova doesn't have a country and has not announced his involvement in this RP, then why has he posted in one of it's threads?

[/quote] "I believe I speak for Khislav when I say that only a fool believes he knows of every ploy against his nation. No system is perfect. You place too much faith in technology," Mr. Klamov added to the mix. "But considering the fact that you believe just recompense is a 'wrong' then we have nothing further to add. This treaty will only serve to 'balance' power in some archaic gesture of honor, only to endanger the nations which sign it. Remember, when guns are outlawed only criminals will have guns. The same goes for NBC weapons." "Good day, ladies and gentlemen," Mr. Mets said with a tone of finality. Both Klamov and Mets then rose from their seats and walked out of the talks, boarding their aircraft and returning to Khislav.

"So Lacedaemon and the Sanc Kingdom would willingly sacrifice a nation to protect an aggressor?" Mr. Mets asked. "There is no defense against pre-emptive strikes or sneak attacks. It is impossible to shoot down aircraft, missiles, or shells that you cannot see coming."
