Firstly the city.

Secondly the nation.

I would like to again note that this conference is open to any nation with relations to the Cefnor Basin.
-
In 1982, Myroria is coming out of a three-year-long recession and republicanism, on the rise since the king's impeachment, shows no signs of receding any time soon. The Myrorian government's goals in this conference are two-fold: To increase its sphere of influence and gain new trust in the monarchy both at home and abroad.
-
I loved that last bit Myro. Especially "thinking of some twenty-something Craftsman outside the Myrorian embassy, in the throes of government-mandated celebration, throwing up outside his bedroom window."
-
Haha I always thought the puritanical conservative rural Myrorians would have a hard time adjusting to a country like Khem.
-
In 1982, Letonna is becoming a powerful industrialized nation. It's a large exporter of its manufactured goods. It's interests would be to secure trade with Cefnor nations, secure contested resources, and make sure conflict in the region is at a minimum.
Possible things Letonna would wish to discuss are:
-Mining disputes in the unclaimed land south of Letonna and east of Austrasia.
-Fishing rights in the sea North of Myroria and Letonna.
-Increase diplomatic relations, more open borders, lower tariffs.
-
Khem wishes to discuss: initiation of standardization, environment, trade, "UN", MDP/NAP, solidarity, offer island for "UN", creation of axis of allies.
-
Zimmerwald: I like your idea to have Manti know Ely. He is an old-school revolutionary who fought beside those who were considered heroes of the populist uprisings of the 60's and 70's.
-
And we await the Jutensan delegacy interacting with the Ozians, afterward a cut scene to the conference itself.
-
God damn it, I am the worst. Sorry hun, will either post today or you can just skip me!
-
I think that everyone that will post in the pipe scene has posted, and perhaps we should move onto the conference itself. I also imagine that there it will be a lot easier to be fluid and not have to wait for everyone - if someone doesn't post we can just handwave it as their character having no input.
-
Fair point. I have been dealing with allot IRL hence lack of posting. Will be implementing such soon.
-
And the premise of the conference has been announced. Let the outrage of officials begin :D
-
Gilas will be red in the face and puffing madly on his inhaler in short order :)

Huzzah and hoorah! :wb:
-
Short n sweet to show I am present for the conference.
-
Zimmerwald, what are these "factors" you mention? What do you mean by "a political factor that can be the basis for principled agreement."?
Curious as to meaning and emphasis by your delegate, trying to think how the Librarian may respond to this but it reads very vague. Though such vaguery may lie in my own plate as well due to the lack of knowing the identity of all delegate nations or where they might lie geographically.
-
Just want to get my history correct.
Rykkovaa, Myroria, and I were once associated with Eluvatar? Any other nations? And is Rykkovaa present at the conference?
So the rest rose into countries independently?
-
Myroria was for thousands of years a semiautonomous part of an Ozian empire on the peninsula. After Ozia lost a war with Eluvatar in the early 1700s, it was granted independence as stipulated in a treaty ending the war, partly a move by Eluvatar to weaken Ozia and prevent future wars (it didn't work).
That being said, Myroria and Eluvatar do share a close alliance, have noble families connected by marriage, and collaborate on projects.
-
"Joint Eluvataran-Myrorian Standardization Protocols" would have happened when? I am asking as a formerly colony of Eluvatar, our measurements would have been the same as theirs, and possibly the same as yours as well as Rykkovaa.
Which would be 4 countries with the same metric system, so far. Which was the point of my original question about the former Eluvatar associations.
-
Shortly after the Great War would be in the 1910s. I'm not sure what your nation was up to at that point and I believe the Seven Baan were independent by that point.
-
The standardization with Myroria apparently comes quite late, in the dawn years of the 20th century, yes.
-
The Allied States would have simply followed suit then. To maintain and strengthen trade.
-
I wasn't around for the opening, but if it's okay with everyone else I probably should make an appearance as a diplomatic nicety.

I never did create a timeline or factbook for my country because classes eat all my time. My plan was to try and get something up after exams, during winter break. As far as geography goes, though, I do have a spot on the new map; by the way, what was the impetus behind creating a new map?
By a "political factor," Ely meant a preexisting commitment to the principles animating the original call for the Conference. AFAIK, the Conference was not the product of preparatory discussions, and the participant countries were contacted out of the blue. Which means that if there was any commitment to a principle animating their selection, it was identified by Khem itself. The idea is that if Khem contacted countries with which it thought it could work, then those countries ought to know why Khem held this opinion. We all seem quite different. What convinced our hosts otherwise?
But Oz has hit on the deeper meaning already in his last IC paragraph. If there was no such criterion for selection, and the societies of the represented countries really do represent opposing poles the way they seem to, then how can we be sure we share any principles at all?
-
wow, talk about perfect timing...
Following new legislation in Bustos-21, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers.
-
So...what happened?
-
al' Khem is currently quite busy IRL but he said he'll return and post Cefnor RP as soon as he is able. :)
-
Gotcha.
-
So I am hoping to respond to this soonish. Though frankly the retcon has thrown me a bit (though not as much as the existence of certain things being established historically to the conference which had not at its beginning) and that is allot of questioning to respond to. Any historical information about your nation regarding the topics at hand would be an absolute boon in my endeavor.
-
No problems, just wondering. I gotta put time into Delfo's nuclear plant RP as well. Just trying to brainstorm stuff.
As for the Allied States, we love conferences and meetings (aka networking) to increase relations. Who doesn't love a good party? Maybe Myroria, their rep doesn't look too healthy, inhaler n all. :-P
Our presence is really more of an advertisement and to endorse and encourage mutual trade, however we can and wherever we can. Because as far as I know, other than our little coup from Eluvatar, we haven't been involved in any wars to current date outside of selling goods and services.
