J Andres Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) ENDOR CUIDAD/ SMITHFIELD, RHODE ISLAND October 28, 2016 The sun was just beginning to set behind the tall, golden dome of the new governmental complex. Richard Mercton walked briskly down the streets of the city. He scanned the horizon and saw numerous New England flags dotting the skyline. “Not in my city,” he said quietly as he continued walking. Of course, he didn’t really have a problem with the New England Government. They had been extremely fair in permitting the J Andres government to continue. Of course, what kind of existence was this? When Richard was born, J Andres was a force to be reckoned with throughout the world. It dominated eastern North America. There was a time when Richard was first in line to take the throne, first in line to be King of J Andres, and it’s Empire, just like his father. Back then, of course, the Empire spanned across continents, the small little colony in Portugal, Porto Pacis in Australia, even Bermuda was shortly held by J Andres for a time. Now his sister was first in line to the throne, but he was President, and had been since the passage of Adrik Annan the previous year. Although most called his Presidency pointless, he was about to reclaim his city, his land, and his nation. As he rounded the corner, he saw a much larger crowd than usual. Typically the leader of a pretend country doesn’t draw large crowds, but everyone knew that something big was coming. It was hard not to notice the exodus of New England officials. Also, Richard wouldn’t have spent such a large portion of his personal wealth constructing a governmental complex for his own little delusions. He smiled as he began to approach the crowd as he walked up the steps and neared the podium. He quickly scanned the crowd and saw television cameras. This was the first time his actions actually necessitated cameras since Annan’s funeral. He gave a quick glance around to the back to identify the people sitting behind him. Nearly anyone who had been important over the course of J Andres history was there. Josef Mercton, Jack Bosco, Benjamin Richards, Alex Miller, Mickey Bethesda, Nobaru Yoshiro, Roger Ahmadinejad, and Oscar York, as well as most of the members of the Royal Family. He turned to face the crowd once more. “Greetings, my fellow New Englanders. For the past five years, us inhabitants of ‘this state of Rhode Island,’ have lived under President Kennedy and his tree-emblazoned banner. The Maritime Anchor which so proudly flew on every flagpole within this great city is now hidden from view. I have no hatred for those who proudly call themselves New Englanders, for we were once the same. We shared the same history as those who call themselves New Englanders. However, I do not call myself a New Englander. I have always been a citizen of J Andres.” (applause) “I come forth to you today, not to preach a message violence and hate towards our New England brethren who are content with their lives, but rather, a message of strength and unity, for those of us who are not content. I stand upon the steps of the Adrik Annan Governmental Centre, the new home to the J Andres Commune, and all governmental offices,” President Mercton paused for a quick moment, “But, the question is why? Why do we still need a Commune when we have the Rhode Island General Assembly in Providence? Why do we still need a President when we have Governor Carcieri, and President Kennedy? Why do we need J Andres when we have New England?” “We need J Andres for the same reason that we have always needed J Andres. When the United States was in a downward spiral, we as Rhode Islander’s realized that we needed to leave, so we formed the Maritime Colony of Rhode Island. After nearly a year of that, we realized that that wouldn’t work either, so my father organized a small community into the Nation of J Andres. That great nation ruled this area for 30 years before we fell into ruin.” “Once again, that independent mindset, that is inherently Andrean, flows through our veins. Our capital is Endor Cuidad. Our King is Josef I. Our Nation is the Maritime Republic of J Andres.” Just as Mercton delivered his last line, the J Andres flag sped up the flag pole directly in front of him. He paused until it reached its peak, and then continued, “I have spoken to the Honorable President Kennedy, and although we will live under different banners, we will cooperate in the defense of this land and our brothers. We have regained our sovereignty over this territory. This is the grand first step in reprising our role on the world stage.” He took a small step back from the podium and yelled the old rallying cry from the early days with the coalition, “Pro Ordo, Pro Vox, Pro Pacis!” --- The Maritime Republic has made a list of its Government Officials available to the public. President: Richard Mercton Monarch: King Josef I Minister of War & Defense: Joel Brunel Minister of Foreign Affairs: Mickey Bethesda Minister of Domestic Affairs: Brian Wilfork Minister of Energy: Vacant Foreign Affairs Minister Mickey Bethesda welcomes any and all nations to open diplomatic missions with J Andres.

We look forward to working together with the new state to ensure the stability and prosperity of the North American continent. On a related note, J Andres will be under our 'protection' while it reasserts its independence and sovereignty on the world stage.

J Andres Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 From the office of Mickey Bethesda, Minister of Foreign Affairs The Maritime Republic of J Andres is happy to establish embassies for the Republic of New England and the Federation of Disparu. Thankfully, establishing Embassies is much easier these days considering we built them all about 20 years ago. New England has been provided with an embassy at One Embassy Circle. Ambassador Scott Cooley has been tapped to serve as the representative from J Andres to New England. Disparu has been granted the embassy at Two Embassy Circle. Douglas Perry has been granted the job of Chief Ambassador to Disparu. Both embassies are established and ready for the diplomatic teams to move in. We anxiously await to send our own diplomats to Boston and Jubilife respectively, upon receiving notice that embassies are ready for them as well.
