[quote name='Vince Sixx' timestamp='1288157056' post='2494093'] "The cereal burglar has eaten the puppy and explained he isn't being fed enough in prison. This is only one example of how the system has failed to do two things: keep criminals in jail, and keep them fed. Why should we let non-violent offenders rot in a prison? Why should we let them share the same space that rapists and murderers do? Keep criminal offenders and capital offenders separate. They are not the same people, lets not treat them the same." [/quote] "While the GERP is the true criminal in this case, the Nationalist Front feels the need to address this statement. The Cereal Burglar aside--for, as said, he was more a victim than a criminal--why should any criminal, regardless of whether their crime was violent or not, be treated any better than another criminal? Should a worthless cretin who leeched every last dollar off a fellow Chumbawumbalandian, condemning that man to poverty and starvation, should such a treasonous rat be treated any better than another criminal simply because he destroyed lives not through violence, but through treachery and swindling? No, says the Nationalist Front. All offenders, regardless of how you 'classify' their offense, must be punished for their crimes against the people of Chumbawumbaland. All criminals must be punished equally; why should a criminal get better treatment simply because his crime was committed not through violence but through guile and deceit? The Nationalist Front has spoken."

[quote name='Shadowsage' timestamp='1288039726' post='2493025'] The above statement is as helpful as a declaration of support from the Queendom of Australia. [/quote] The above statement is-- Oh, whatever. Anyway, the Republic of Wallonia hopes that the Empire of Pravus Ingruo will remain truthful to this doctrine, and that it may usher in a new era for war torn North America.

Allan followed the queen into the palace, impressed by the grandeur of the place. The Wallonian centre of government, while grand in its own right, was not nearly as majestic, nor was it nearly as...[i]blue[/i]; blue being, it seemed, the national colour of Blue Water. When he thought that last sentence, it did seem to make a lot more sense. "A very beautiful palace, Queen Eve," Allan complimented humbly. He was waiting to arrive where they would discuss diplomacy, but he could not help but admire the palace's grandeur.

The Republic of Wallonia recognises this new nation.

"As far as economy goes, I believe we can make it work without much effect on the actual economic manner. We could, perhaps, lower export and import costs on products from and to out nations. That would not be affected severely by the economic stance of either nation."

"The Republic of Wallonia is deeply saddened to hear of the fall of our sibling nation."

[quote name='BaronUberstein' timestamp='1287956093' post='2492249'] Again, maybe I'm just too lenient, who knows. It's a difference of opinion on how to treat OOC-caused absences. It's probably best to agree to disagree. [/quote] I'd have to agree with you, actually. I don't think people should be penalised in CNRP because they have something to deal with in RL. If you can't hold off for a week or two before you invade a nation, then you really need something better to do... Just my opinion, anyway.

In her time in the Republic of Wallonia, Valerie Belland--or, as she was now known, Annette Marchessault--had held the rank of Captain, serving in the Wallonian military for fifteen of her thirty-six years. She had led a platoon in the Second Army, under the command of Field Marshal Erich Walther von Model, when Wallonia had defeated the invading Burgundian army at Seraing, and she had participated in the subsequent invasion of Bornholme alongside English and African Legion troops. Valerie had been aware, however, that she was giving up that rank and reputation, as well as everything she had had in the Republic, to join the Hansa Republic's Legion. It had been difficult at first to adjust to returning to being the recruit--several times Valerie had to grit her teeth and restrain herself from snapping back at the drill officers. That didn't last long, though. Soon, she was assigned to a squad--the squad of 'Willie Mugabe'; the name was probably fake, just as 'Annette Marchessault' was fake. Valerie was to be leading a fire team in Mugabe's squad; he had already given them orders to check their weapons and supplies. She had taken some time to look over her soldiers as they did this, formulating a basic opinion of them before she would see what they were actually capable of. Under her stern countenance, the soldiers did as they were told without complaint; Valerie herself proceeded to disassemble her rifle, checking every detail of every piece with a meticulous, well-trained eye.

"Actually, it's rather tranquil...at least, nothing got out of hand in the first elections. I really think Aurelie--that is, President Desmarais knows what is best for Wallonia, and the people knew that as well. " When the car suddenly hit a bump Allan accidentally blurted out, "Are you alright?" But it quickly became apparent that Eve was well, and the conversation got back on topic. "Well, perhaps President Desmarais believed that, in a world where female leaders are still rare and, perhaps, even looked down upon, nations run by women should ally with one another to show the world women are capable of the same feats of leadership men are capable of. And, perhaps, our two nations have more in common, but that remains to be seen."

"Oh--of course not. I would very much enjoy taking time to appreciate the scenery of your lovely country." When she asked him the question, he replied, "Well, President Desmarais and Field Marshal von Model are currently overseeing various different matters in the Republic, so as Minister of Foreign Affairs, I decided to visit in her stead. I hope it's not a significant issue?"

"Ah, oui, allons-y," Allan spoke hastily, surprised that the queen seemed able, at least to some degree, to speak French. He followed her out to the limousines, entering the limousine after the queen. "Ah, it's no problem, of course," he replied when she spoke as the limousine drove. "I understand perfectly." He seemed somewhat taken aback by how...perfect she seemed, and he found that he had to push himself to tear his eyes from her own blue eyes; he hoped that it wasn't obvious, and found himself hoping they would arrive soon.

Allan had been, frankly, shocked that the queen actually came herself to bring him from the airport. Even more shocked was he by the huge media outburst that his arrival in Blue Water had garnered. The media seemed all over the young man, who could only be grateful when Eve herself got the reporters and photographers to retreat from him, leaving Allan at a loss for words momentarily, but otherwise he maintained his calm and collected appearance. When the media had retreated back enough, he turned back to the queen and, imitating what he had seen the reporters do, bowed deeply to the queen before saying, "It is an honour to speak with you in person, Queen Eve." His English, while accented slightly, was flawless. "The plane flight here on the Blue Water airlines was excellent, thank you for asking. I hope the day finds you well?" Allan was determined to do his duty here well.

Allan Chevalier was, understandably, anxious. It was his first diplomatic mission entrusted to him by Aurelie. He was ashamed to admit it, but he had almost been half-hoping that she would choose Erich Walther von Model to go to Blue Water. But the Minister of the Interior and Field Marshal was preoccupied with managing the industrialisation of the Republic, and the duty of beginning diplomatic relations with Blue Water fell to Allan. As composed and calm as he often seemed in public, the pressures and stress of being foreign affairs minister were doing their best to tear at him. He was currently in an airplane on its way to the capital of Blue Water to meet with the government there--Queen Eve, as he understood it. The jet was approaching Blue Water swiftly, and they would soon be landing. About an hour later, Allan was awoken from the fitful sleep into which he had managed to fall as the jet landed at the airport in the Blue Water capital. Quickly composing himself once more, Allan stood up and made his way off the jet and onto the airport. His face gave no indication of the nervousness within as he awaited the Blue Water officials.
