  1. But oh so easy to punch him in the genitals :)
  2. I've got some software I can use, so I'll try my lot in this.
  3. Locking the USVR due to time issues and personal problems.
  4. VP Lindow also stood at the call to action. While he was slightly irritated at being called weak, though could see where O'Malley was coming from to a certain point. He understood the importance but took a moment to calm his mind and to concentrate at the task at hand. OOC: Quite an impressive speech, Tanis, it took me a bit to read it all, but I'm quite impressed.
  5. The vice president stood from his seat, clearing his throat just before speaking. "The rash and unjustified actions performed by the Louisiana Federation without the knowledge of or even consultation of any of the nations here proves that it seeks to serve its own desires without consideration for others. These actions have backlash that could stretch farther than them. We all believe that foreign colonization isn't a good thing, at least to some degree. However, I <i>must</i> agree with Adjutor Von Erdstrom. We must prevent further colonization by being strong. By showing that we can care for our citizens and that we can ensure their protection. Yes, I do believe that America should be held by American citizens, whether they're from Canada or from the East American Union. Without our people, who are we? We should be worried about doing the best by our constituents! At least foreign powers have the ability to care for the people. Recent lack of stability has caused disruption in their lives, something that many don't take into account when making their decisions. By solidifying ourselves on an economic and political stage, our citizens will prosper and we need not worry about further colonization. Through free trade and political treaties should we make ourselves strong, not by trying to force out nations that have been taking care of their citizens. Through economic partnership should we make ourselves stronger, our nations better. Not by declaring wars. This is no tale of David and Goliath, this is real life. We must be considerate of the needs of everyone in our surrounding nations. Our decisions effect our neighbors, whether we want them to or not. We must be especially considerate to the needs of the citizens. If they are taken care of, are not abused, are protected, and have their basic rights, why should we fight about whether or not their caregivers are from France or from Italy. The citizens will make a stand when things get past a limit, as they have in the past. Riots and insurrection will face those that tear them away from what they desire. Therefore we must think not of war and invasions, but rather of economic treaties and political progression." Vice President Lindow glanced around at the different delegations before returning to his seat.
  6. Foreign Relations Minister Dylan Greene will be in attendance with a small delegation.
  7. The USVR welcomes its northern neighbor into the world and wishes to invite a delegation from the American Commonwealth to Richmond for trade negotiations.
  8. James adjusted his clothing as the vice president was led through the door into the conference room. He was ordered to remain behind, though he hated not knowing what would be going on. <i>All for the best, I suppose.</i> Vice President Matthew Lindow glanced around the room for his reserved spot. He walked around the table and set his briefcase next to his chair. He looked over at the other delegates before walking over to the hosting officials to introduce himself. He waited for the current speaker, one with an unfamiliar accent, to finish speaking before introducing himself. As he spoke, he politely extended his right hand to the two men. "Greetings, Vizier and Mister Secretary. I'm Matthew Lindow, vice president of the USVR. I would like to thank you for hosting such a momentous and historical meeting, and in New York, no less!"
  9. "The USVR shall be sending a representative to the American Forum in hopes to foster friendship with foreign nations. We merely await notice as to the time and place of the meeting."
  10. "The USVR welcomes the Continental Republic to the world stage and wishes to host a meeting to discuss the potential of a trade agreement." - USVR Diplomat William Meler
  11. Forgot to post this on here the other day, but the United Virginian Socialist Republic's taken...well, the Virginia territories. [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=108034"]Linky[/url]
  12. "The United Virginian Socialist Republic hereby recognizes the independence and self-governing right by the people of the Republic of Vicidalia and wishes it luck in avoiding further conflict, as well as in being prosperous." -Vice President Matthew Lindow
  13. "The recent election of socialist parties to political offices in Virginia and West Virginia has seen record approval ratings from voters in both states. After much deliberation, both states agreed on the unification of the Virginian territories under the banner of United Virginian Socialist Republic. Governor Matthew Lindow further agreed to serve under Governor. Thomas Yokas. After weeks of speculation and polling, the people of the United Virginian Socialist Republic have elected Governor Thomas Yokas as their first president. A crowd of millions has gathered at the capital of Richmond for an address from the newly elected president." [b]Richmond, VA[/b] Captain James Davis glanced down at the crowd from his position on the stage. The crowd was one of the largest to gather at the capital for nearly a decade. The President hadn't even shown himself but the cheers and support from the crowd was deafening. Some held signs in their arms, others had hoisted children onto their shoulders. He couldn't suppress a smile as the jubilation in the air added with the natural joy from the new year. He received word that the President was ready to begin his speech and crisply turned, adopting a stern face. When the door opened and the President, followed by Vice President Lindow, exited, James and the rest of the guard crisply saluted. It was through their pushing that the President accepted a militaristic guard rather than a noneffective ceremonial one. James waited for the president to sit down before turning on his heel and facing the crowd once more. It was less than a minute before President Yokas began his speech, his voice low and comforting. "Greetings my fellow Virginians. I thank each and every one of you for showing up today and thank those watching at home. It is through your support and your approval that these events have transpired at all. No matter what you may think, I am still nothing more than a factory worker or a farmer. The people, you, are the rightful rulers of the nation. I hope to be able to do the duties that you have placed on me through the recent elections. With the recent unification of West Virginia and Virginia into the United Virginian Socialist Republic, I hope to enable the people to thrive. Our government is full of citizens that you have elected. With the help of my advisers and through you, I hope to make this new nation a better place for you, the people who reside in it. Plans are in the making for regional councils that will update me as to your plights and to ensure that I do not lose touch with my people. If I lose touch with your needs or begin abusing my power then impeach me. I implore you to rid me of office, by force if necessary, to ensure that the nation and her people survive. You, the people, are the true leader of this country. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise or attempt to subdue you. Together we can take the country into the future, though the trip will not be easy. Stand fast, Virginians, and we shall overcome." The reaction from the crowd was deafening. Cheers deafened the captain as he about-faced and walked formally to another man in a suit who was standing behind him. The man turned and handed James a folded flag that was to replace the state flag. James took it between his hand and noticed that the crowd had gone deathly silent. James turned and stiffly marched to the awaiting color guard, the leader of which professionally but promptly took the flag from James as soon as the captain stopped. As the flag was unfolded before him, James could only watch, trying his hardest to prevent from smiling. He glanced onward as the old flag was taken down and brought his right arm up in a crisp salute as the new flag was raised. Cheers erupted from the crowd and James felt pride well up in his stomach. He brought his arm down and turned with the rest of those on stage towards the president. Simultaneously the men saluted the new leader and watched as he saluted them each individually. Each of them passed the president and vice president and each man shook the hands of their leaders before saluting them briefly. James watched as the two leaders joined their line between two sergeants that James didn't know and accompanied them off stage and into the sheltered rear. James knew that the tiny nation would have much to endure but pushed the thoughts from his mind as the first citizens began working their way towards the president. [ooc]Comments and constructive criticism welcome, as I'm new to CNRP. Oh, and here's a picture of the flag for reference: [img]http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3141/razgrizistanl.png[/img]
