Galen Arsenius Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 To: All Current Nations Subject: Declaration of Existence, Opening of Embassy Today, the world is blessed with a new country, The Kingdom of Arsenia, ruled by a continuation of the European House of Habsburg, called the House of Habsburg-Purple. The new King, Lord Galen, has been chosen as the leader of this new country. With lands ceded from the United Kingdom of Buryatia, Lord Galen has been successful in building up the national army of the small country, as well as stabilizing it's economy. Lord Galen as opened trade with the nations of Shinsei Shikkoku Teikoku and Buryatia, and is looking for more soon. Classified as a third world country, Arsenia is on the edge of entering a modern stage of technology, but at this time is limited to mostly Soviet Cold-War era technology. This country has been an idea in the making for some time now. Me and my associates have been wanting independence for awhile now, as we felt that we have grown to the point that we can make it on our own. Sure, the world is a dangerous place, but I think my people can handle it. The United Kingdom of Buryatia was very kind and helpful in the matter, offering us advice and help during every step. I am honored to have them as an ally. As for our major military plans, we hope to establish an air force, as well as a navy. Currently, our standing army is at around 38,000 ground infantrymen with only about 4,000 tanks. Our tank division includes the IS-4 Heavy Tank, the T-80 Battle Tank, and the T-62 Battle Tank. We recently closed a deal with a former Soviet weapons contractor located in the Kingdom of Arsenia, which provided us with over 15,000 Ak47, leftovers from the arms buildup. We recognize the fact that we are behind in military technology and advancements, but due to our late formation, we have not had the time to catch up with the major superpowers we face today. Our top researchers are currently investigating new scientific achievements in the military tract, but due to budget constraints, the Royal Research Department, has had to work with only one research laboratory at this time. Hopefully, we will open a few more, but in the mean time, this is satisfactory. We would also like to investigate the possibility of Nuclear Weapons in the near future. We found that we are currently located on top of a Uranium mine, which gives us a predetermined motivation for Nuclear Weapons. To support our civilian population of about 4.7 million, we focused on a major use of import export trade. There are a large number of coal and gem mines all throughout Arsenia, which we export for about 1.2 Billion. We also have a thriving steel industry, which we are hoping will be implemented into our military buildup. We currently only have two major trading partners, but we hope to expand our influence further into Eastern Europe as time progresses. --Lord Galen, King of Arsenia The King has appointed numerous people to his Royal Ministry, which will serve as his advisers, as well as the heads of their respective departments. He has appointed Lord Thermaltake as the Minister of Education and Religion, Lord Baldwin as the Minister of Economics, Lord Krzy Asn as Minister of Foreign and Domestic Policy, and Lord Behringer as the Minister of Defense and Military Tactics. The Kingdom is also hereby opening its own Embassy, located at #arsenia on coldfront. All are welcome. Lord Krzy Asn will be permanently residing at the Embassy, and will serve as a liaison for all foreign parties. We are looking forward to see how The New Kingdom of Arsenia will do during these upcoming years, and wish Lord Galen the best of luck. --The Arsenic Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would like to open up trade between our great nations. As for steel, what are your current import rates? My country can offer a tariff-less free trade scenario to help stimulate the economy in Arsenia. "Austria welcomes the Kingdom of Arsenia to the world stage, though we do wonder how a Habsburg house found themselves in Russia. Nontheless, welcome to independence." Thank you. My grandfather was of Royal bloodline in the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, and following my father's birth, he was sent off into the Russian frontier to investigate the possibility of a continuation of our line. My father married a Russian Princess of the House of Romanov-Purple, and thus, the House of Habsburg-Purple was extended into this part of Europe. The Kingdom of Cochin welcomes Arsenia to the world. Thank you. The Shinsei Shikkoku Teikoku is proud to have found trade partners in the Kingdom of Arsenia.We formally recognize your independence, publically, and wish you luck. Thank you, and I look forward to a most profitable trade.

The Minister of Trade has sent the government of Arsenia an official inquiry regarding whether the Kingdom have plans to export to Western Europe. I thank you for your support. I have sent my Minister of Economics, Lord Baldwin, Westward, to create friendly ties with the Western European countries. The Holy Kingdom does plan on exporting Westward, most probably in the steel and gem industry. TO: The French Government FROM: Lord Baldwin, Minister of Economics, The Holy Kingdom of Arsenia I have come bearing a proposal authorized by the Lord King of Arsenia, Lord Galen. He believes it would be most wise for our nations to open trade betwixt our great nations. I am authorized to offer Steel at the rate of $250 USD/ tonn. We also can export Sapphires at the price of $120 USD per carat. Edited October 12, 2009 by Galen Arsenius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King invites your Royal Highness over to The Customs House to enjoy an afternoon of Fine Dining, and to talk about this event.
