Shorlty after my recent appointment as Nordreich's Minister of Foreign Affairs, I moved into the official Ministerial Residence located on KingzogStraße. (Well, that's the street's name as of [i]yesterday[/i], anyway.) Once the furniture was moved in and the wife and kids had settled into a new routine, I organized a small afternoon reception for government officials.

Kaiser Nemhauser brought along knockwurst.

Why Mein Kaiser didn't bring it in a container will remain a mystery, as I was far too weirded out to ask. (To my horror, my middle son called it 'crotchwurst' for the rest of the day. Enjoy military school, my boy.)

After the guests had gone home, I stood on the back veranda. Cohiba in one hand and single malt in the other, I was enjoying the sunset when the missus came outside and tapped me on the shoulder.

"Honey," she said, "I know you don't like it when I interfere in your work, but this is one of those times when I have to put my foot down. I was out walking by the property line when I realized that we back up against Embassy Row. I don't know how to put this but....some of those buildings look like they're ready to fall over."

She's so cute when she tries to talk shop with me.

"We don't have Embassies, my little Love Rune," I explained. "Foreign diplomats set up discussion areas which are then used to tell us about their respective alliances. Our citizens use these 'pavilions' to ask questions. Now, in the case of allies, we set up secret areas for ongoing talks. These could be called 'Embassies', I suppose, but they are entirely separate and...."

Her frown and crossed arms indicated she didn't care about my explanation. She just wanted me to do something about it.

"Alright," I said with a hint of resignation. "I'll go have a look."

So off I went. And she was absolutely right.

It is my sad duty to inform a number of alliances that their discussion areas have fallen into disrepair. Paint is peeling, windows are cracked and the Ambassadors themselves seem to have run off with the fruit baskets they were presented with upon arrival.

Since none of these buildings have 'closed' signs on their doors, I am reluctant to send in the bulldozers just yet.

With that in mind, the following alliances are invited to refurbish their discussion areas or face the prospect of having them condemned and razed:

[center][b]The International
Conservative Politically Allied Countries
Viridian Entente
Fifth Column Confederation
We Are Perth Army
[s]Socialist Workers Front[/s] (Disbanded, apparently. Gosh, what a shame.)
Ragnarok
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
SOS Brigade
New Sith Order
Death Before Dishonor
United Commonwealth of Nations
Umbrella[/b][/center]

Other alliances' discussion areas are starting to show their age, but I'm prepared to give said alliances some time to drop by and fix them up a little.

(If you've forgotten our location, I would suggest you click [url="http://cybernations.nordreich.eu/index.php"]here[/url].)

Please let us know what you would like us to do, otherwise your property will be attached to my own. (If I get enough space freed up, I'm putting in a pool.)

To all of those alliances that do not currently have discussion areas within Nordreich, please consider this an open invitation to pay us a visit. You will be welcome.

Sincerely,

We had someone sail that far? Also Nem has yet to visit our new forums. Reciprocity plox.

The Kaiser may not be able to visit personally, but I will ensure that someone is sent over.

We don't have an embassy? I'll fix that asap.

Starfox started a thread there. You're good.

(Although....he hasn't paid us a visit in a while and, for obvious reasons, I expect his activity will be somewhat reduced.)

I have a brand new fancy schmancy diplomat corps and nothing better to do with it. Expect a new diplomat soon.

We at least want the baskets back if not the fruit
