Hello Orderlings, It seems a good time has passed since our last Character AMA topic was posted in...so I guess it's time we relaunched this little project. So, an AMA is where you can ask a person any question you like...they don't have to give an answer you like but they do have to give you one. In this instance, we put up our characters for scrutiny by other members of this site. These AMAs can feature as many of your characters as you would like, and will last for around 48 hours...ish. If you want your characters to do an AMA, then just post in this topic (preferably when asking other characters). I'll see how well this topic goes and if enough are interested I'll kick it off ![]() Rules 1) You can ask about anything regarding IC role-play, don't expect characters to know about Tytor's secret love of High School Musical pizza toppings 2) You should be respectful when asking questions – being offensive in an AMA is not cool 3) You can ask a question posing as yourself, or as one of your characters - just don't go overboard 4) This is not the same as the Press Office. Answers posted here cannot be considered canon.

In that case...I'll kick it off. My characters: Name: Alexander Anselmo Titles: Prince of Littlebrook, Emperor of Rokkenjima Nationality: Dartfordian (by birthright), Rokkenjiman (naturalised) Role: Consort to the Empress of Rokkenjima, Heir to the Dartfordian Throne Partner: Beatrice Anselmo Children: Adriana Anselmo, Amari Anselmo (deceased), Lucius Anselmo-Vaughan Brief Description: Known for his inability to keep his mouth shut and tendency to get plastered, Alexander Anselmo can be painted in a very negative light. Unlike his wife, Beatrice, he believes the security of Rokkenjima and Dartfordia comes before the needs of any other, and is fiercely opposed to the build-up of non-CSTO forces in Mundus. Yet despite his shortcomings, he is a loving and supportive husband, frequently putting aside his own beliefs to pursue those of his wife, and the two work very closely together in the formulation of Rokkenjiman policy. He is fiercely protective of his two living children, Adriana and Lucius, and has stated (in private, not yet RP'ed) that he would be willing to see an entire country burn so long as his children remain safe. Personality wise, Alex is a mostly strong, outgoing character who is generally nice and polite to most people. Though, he has suffered from anxiety in the past, particularly following the Lenira Hotel Bombings. Name: King George I Titles: King of Dartfordia Role: King? Voldemort? Partner: Elizabeth Children: Alexander Anselmo, Princess Georgia Brief Description: A more quiet and reflective character, George came to the throne following the assassination of his parents, and has reigned over Dartfordia for nearly 25 years. He believes in a 'light-handed' monarchy, one that does not have too much baring over political decisions. He has great affection for his daughter-in-law, though is wary that his son's involvement in Rokkenjiman politics will have an adverse affect on the way he rules as a Dartfordian King. Aside from that, he can be seen to be a father humorous and, sadly, a much underdeveloped character. Name: Harold Saxon MP Titles: Prime Minister of Dartfordia, Leader of the Socialist Party, the Master Brief Description: A strong believer in social justice and equality, Harold Saxon differs greatly from his Time Lord counterpart. Placing great emphasis on the Dartfordian-Rokkenjiman relationship, he has led Dartfordia through incidents on High Rock, Jenka and has overseen the construction of the HyperDart network and major reforms within Dartfordian society. Name: Leane Hunnable MP Titles: Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Brief Description: A no-nonsense 'deputy foreign minister', who rose to fame over her handling of Darti-Moreland relations in the aftermath of the High Rock incident. She is considered by many to be a potential successor to Prime Minister Saxon. Name: Gloria Macclesfield Titles: Chairman and Managing Director, Macclescort Explicit Service Company Brief Description: An undereducated prostitute who was found to be the legitimate freeholder of High Rock. After selling it to the governments of Dartfordia and East Moreland, she established her own Explicit Services Company called 'Macclescort', slowly taking over multiple brothels and 'escort agencies', and pursuing more ethical policies within them. Despite running what some regard as the largest ESC in Dartfordia (with subsidiaries, some legal, some illegal, across Mundus), she desires a change to the Explicit Service Company Act 2011 to provide more protection for women in the system. Other characters: Princess Georgia – Alex's sister, a good (and protective) friend of Serenity, and an active member of the Royal Family. Harry Turpin MP – Snape. The Dartfordian Foreign Secretary with very similar political views as Harold Saxon. Harry Riptide – Former Foreign Secretary, now the Private Secretary to the Emperor of Rokkenjima and senior liaison for the Office of the Prince and Princess of Littlebrook, and the Princess Georgia, in Rokkenjima. Godfather of Adriana. Daniel Cleaver MP – Leader of the Opposition, the Tony Abbott of Dartfordia. Wants to replace Saxon as Prime Minister, naturally. Famous for "Anselmo Will Go" speech. He is partially 'anti-Beaxander' and a partial Straitsceptic. Sir Mark Higgins – CEO of LS-Railways plc, the largest train company in Dartfordia and (they claim) the world, since 2001. Technological advancements during his time include the 400Km/h High Speed train, Hyperloop, the new Hematite Underground rolling stock and advancements in commuter railway tech. Believes MagLev railway to be a 'waste of money'. Edited by CGJ, 1st February 2015 - 11:14 PM.

Alex: "Hawaiian with Reggae Reggae Sauce" George I: "I'm not a vegetarian but...vegetarian pizza is perfect" Harold Saxon: "I was in a local market in Littlebrook once and came across a 'Toclafane Pizza' – was absolutely delicious" Leane Hunnable: "Anything that shuts my son up" Gloria Macclesfield: "Meaty Pizza...lots of sausage..wait err...*giggles*" Princess Georgia: "Mmmmmmm pizzzzaaaaaaa" Harry Turpin: "I quite like BBQ chicken?" Harry Riptide: "Anything not spoiled by Adriana" Daniel Cleaver: "I dislike pizza" Sir Mark Higgins: "Tomato and mushroom, for sure"

SMH: "We were in negotiation with the government under Josiah I and had begun extensive research into the project. Sadly, we refuse to work with the Seaforth Catholic Church on this project, so unless the rightful and legitimate government-in-exile is restored, the project shall remain shelved."
Harold Saxon: "We believe in creating a fair and equal society, which means we have to ensure that, while we believe in the free market, we do not allow monopolies to hinder innovation or small enterprise. We use a system of progressive taxation, so those earning less than £15,000 pay no tax at all, while those earning more than £500,000 a year pay up to 70% tax. Beyond that, we believe in investment in science, research and technology – particularly that of Green Energy. Put simply, Dartfordian Socialism is about creating a free society with genuine equal opportunities for al our citizens." Leane Hunnable: "Sadly my experience with Ndambia has thus far been limited as my role as Senior Minister generally encompasses Cotf Aranye and Alba Karinya. However, I note some concern within the FCSO (Foreign and Cross-Straits Office) about the levels of corruption within Ndambia, and of course we wish Ndambia would join MCUR...*wink wink, nudge nudge*" Daniel Cleaver: "Dartfordian Foreign Policy is too Cross-Straits focused. We have a whole continent of nations to trade with on Albion. Why are we, an Albion nation, in an ill-thoughtout social, political and economic union with Rokkenjima and Communist Quinntopia and not Dijel, the UAE or UNP? We also have a tendency of being too orientated around Rokkenjima's foreign policy, we are seen as a satellite state We also need to seriously consider the future of Queen Katenka Naval Base, and what that provides for Dartfordia." Alexander Anselmo: "There's this odd misconception that my marriage is falling apart...it really isn't. After everything my wife and I have been through: political arguments, personal arguments, people attempting to kill us, the pressures of running the most powerful country in the world, countless political scandals, the intense media scrutiny, a miscarriage...I can genuinely say that with Adriana and Lucius with us, I feel closer to her today than I ever have done before. I honestly love her so much I can't imagine life without her. So no, I don't need you, and I hope I'll never, ever need you."

King George I: "I'm pleased with recent developments in the Slavic Federation, and I hope their government is true to their word that they seek a better solution for the Slavic people.

Kayla Horton, RBC @ Daniel Cleaver MP: "Your disdain for the Rokkenjima-Dartfordia relationship has baffled and irritated many Rokkenjimans, an overwhelming majority of whom view the Rokkenjiman-Dartfordian relationship as Rokkenjima's most important bi-lateral relationship. Even prior to the relationship of the Imperial Couple the First Empire forgave Dartfordian debts, an event which has undoubtedly helped Dartfordia's economic and fiscal strength. We've also seen valuable shipbuilding jobs sent to the Kingdom, as well as sharing in the common benefit of being a part of the largest economy and market upon Mundus. Is it your position that the Kingdom of Dartfordia would be in a better position if it distanced itself from its most steadfast ally and withdrew from all Cross-Straits bodies?" @King George I: "The Empress has often spoken highly of you, though rumours indicate that she was not popular among some members of the Royal Government early in her relationship with the Prince of Littlebrook. Were you always fond of her or did you share their concerns early on?" |

Daniel Cleaver: "I don't hold disdain for the Rokkenjima-Dartfordia relationship, this is a misrepresentation of my position. I believe that Dartfordia and Rokkenjima can share a strong, coequal relationship. We are pleased, of course, for what our two nations have achieved in partnership. However, we must look clearly at what our current relationship currently entails. We are part of an organisation, the Cross-Straits Union, which has a significant sway over our laws. These CSU laws are decided, not just by Dartfordians or Rokkenjimas, but by 'elected' members Quinntopian Communist Party. We don't believe that our sovereignty should be surrendered to such an organisation – it is unnecessary, bureaucratic and undemocratic, and does not benefit the Dartfordian or Rokkenjiman people. May I reiterate, however, that we do believe in having a strong relationship with Rokkenjima, and I still believe that, as a member of CSTO, we are a stronger force on the world stage." (CGJ: You can use the above as an IC quote, if you'd like )King George I: "I have personally never held any disdain for Beatrice, she is a remarkable person who both I, along with many in Dartfordia, my son and daughter included, admire greatly. There was some concern at the prospect of their relationship, and from certain parts of the Royal Household she was seen (or at least, her child was seen) to be a threat to Dartfordia's independence – a load of rubbish if you ask me. However, even today I recognise that the nature of the Imperial Couple's role in Rokkenjima is vastly different to what is expected of them as the Royal Couple in Dartfordia, and so decisions or political stances made today may affect their constitutional responsibilities in Dartfordia. This is a relatively minor concern, though, and I have full faith that Alexander and Beatrice will uphold their duties in the future just as well as they do now."

Alex: "Not really. I stand by my comments. It was not necessarily a subject that should have been touched upon in a formal interview, but it was asked, and I gave an honest answer. If they can't handle the criticism, then Krista shouldn't have cheated on her husband for two years, and Willa shouldn't have knowingly gone along with it. As for relations, I can't see it having a major impact as my views do not represent those of Dartfordian Government, and I was not acting in any formal capacity for Dartfordia at this time." Georgia: "Don't tell Joshua Rhodes he can't talk about Article 2. Aha...on a serious note – take in as much as you can, particularly when discussing issues with people twice, thrice your age.

Kayla Horton, RBC @ Daniel Cleaver MP: "I noticed you singled out Quinntopia, when Novincia is also represented by the Cross-Straits Parliament, as a topic of contention. What do you hold against Quinntopia, widely considered one of Rokkenjima's closest allies and a consistent partner in global security and stability, as well as progressive issues across Mundus?" @Harold Saxon: "How would you describe your relationship with Premier Faust in comparison to your relationship with former Premier Hartnell? It's rumoured that the two of you had differences and difficulties during his term, while your relationship with Premier Faust has been described as 'warm and friendly.'" "Is it odd to engage Rokkenjima, Constitutionally an Absolute Monarchy, as opposed to other democracies? Some in the past have labeled Rokkenjima a 'faux' or 'sham democracy' due to the powers of the Empress. What is your opinion of the Rokkenjiman model of democracy, and what would you say to those who call it a sham?" |

Daniel Cleaver: "Because Quinntopia has a much greater influence over the Cross-Straits Union, with 550 million people, than Novincia with 46 million. Also the system of government in Quinntopia is much more totalitarian in type, at least in my view." Harold Saxon: "I found it difficult to communicate with former Premier Hartnell. He was a good man and we agreed on many things, however communication is key in any relationship, and this is where difficulties arose. Faust, on the other hand, I find much more personable, she's very switched on, very clever and much more willing to negotiate. Bear in mind that one of the first things Faust did as Premier was rewrite the Kashiwa Class Destroyer deal. Since then, of course, we have shared a much closer relationship than Hartnell and I ever did." "No, I don't think it's odd at all. Just the fact that Rokkenjima has a constitution that limits the Empress' powers means her power isn't absolute. It s without a doubt that the current Rokkenjiman government enjoys popular support, has democratic institutions in YourVoice.rk, the Imperial Diet, local/Prefecture government, etc., and so long as that support and the government's democratic legitimacy continues I see no reason why it needs to change. So to call Rokkenjima a sham democracy would do a great injustice to the complex nature of the Rokkenjiman political system, as well as its political history. I would advise people to take into account the supposedly 'democratic' Federal Republic, and ask pretty much any Rokkenjiman what they think about that." Now Rhodes...I believe you're up. |

The Ghost of Josiah II: No. The boy is clever and cares for his family. Those are exceptional qualities to have. The young often speak without thinking and I think that turns people off on him. That will change as he matures. I think, had our situations been reversed, that I would have had similar views and opinions regarding Seaforth...wait....what? I know it's my turn. Just....ok...fine. Hold on Alex. Dice rattle in the background Ok, move me five spaces. No not that one. You know very well I'm the gumdrop and you're the candy cane. Alex, I have to run. Amari is a fine girl...but she cheats at Candyland....I saw that young lady...... Joshua Rhodes: Hate is such a strong word. It takes all kinds. I think that I may fall into the sterotype of the people that gave him the hardest times growing up. I played lacrosse and jousted. I joined the military and have had a very successful career. He does have strong convictions and sticks to them, as do I. Perhaps in some way, we are two sides of the same coin, forever destined to be at odds. |

The Ghost of Josiah II: Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Bacon and Mushrooms Joshua Rhodes: Ditto Harper Rhodes: Chicken Pesto McKenna: Cheeseburger and fries (It's really good) Lachlan: Shrimp Innocent XIV: Anchovies Pope Innocent XIV: Isn't it obvious? The Seaforth Catholic Church and my own self are completely innocent of the baseless and mean spirited accusations made against us. To reinforce that concept in the minds of the people I named myself Innocent so they will be reminded, every time they talk about me, that I am in fact innocent of these so called charges. |

That maybe it would be in the best interest of the people for you to just step down and spare them the chaos and destruction of civil war?"

Joshua Rhodes: No. In the long run Seaforth will be the better for it. Like necrotic flesh you must cut it out to save the body. For the most part, the nations that have intervened in this civil war are long term allies. The exception being the Supreme Sovereignty. While I am not exactly thrilled that a nation has unilaterally sent troops to Seaforth without my prior knowledge, they have since put themselves under my authority. Indeed, I hope this will be the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship. I'm listening to a lot of Three Days Grace right now. Innocent XIV: Yes. I believe that Joshua Rhodes should stand down before more innocent lives are lost. This is religious persecution. All the interfering nations are not catholic and choose this time to strike at us. God will visit his justice upon them. I like Nickleback. So hard to pick just one song.
No. We will restore it to it's original configuration. I have grown quite fond of East Moreland decor.
I do owe him dinner, and though he is quite handsome, I am a classy girl. If he want's to go out he can damn well ask me like a gentleman.
Joshua Rhodes: Many nations have opened themselves up to foreign investment. When the SCC is defeated, Seaforth will do the same. (OOC: Technology City type post in the future.) Though I have yet to officially convert, I consider myself an adherent to the Cult of Helus. I think we have to work on the children thing first, though off the top of my head the first candidates to be asked would probably be King David of East Moreland and the Empress Beatrice of Rokkenjima. Supreme Commander Sheridan: The next title I will assume will be Emperor of Rokkenjima. Harper Rhodes: That was so much fun! I'd love to do it again...assuming I survive this mess. Genie Questions: The Ghost of Josiah II: Where the hell is Rhodes? Joshua Rhodes: Is Frossaj really speaking to me? Harper Rhodes: Will I live through this? Innocent XIV: How can I successfully kill Joshua Rhodes? Supreme Commander Sheridan: How can I successfully kill Joshua Rhodes? Ambassador Raynald Lachlan: Does anyone know I'm Joshua's source inside the Triumvirate? Joshua Rhodes: Snog Serenity, Marry Zach Jong-un, Avoid Stalin Innocent XIV: Snog Stalin, Avoid Serenity, Marry No One, it's against the rules of the Church for ordained persons to marry. |

With Evanthe following Rosarity a discussion will have to take place about the religious connotation of the wedding. With the current state if Seaforth, we will be inviting a foreign spiritual leader to preform the wedding and coronation. With two religions and two upcoming ceremonies, it seems logical that they get once each. | ||||||||||||||||

Kayla Horton, RBC @ Joshua Rhodes: "The Princess of Arovium is known as one of the most formidable, and respected, diplomats throughout Mundus. What role do you see the Princess taking in a post-Triumvirate Seaforth? "According to a recent article from the Dijel Broadcasting Corporation the Dijeli Labour Party have "pressed for some condition of democratisation to be placed upon returning Seaforthian royal Joshua Rhodes, by way of repayment for the international support for his government-in-exile." What are your thoughts on this, and what plans are being considered for Seaforth's next government?" Queen Adriana I, live from Hahla @ Innocent XIV: "Since you failed at getting Anselmo DNA and Evanthe has renounced the Throne for herself and her descendants what's your next move? Furthermore, with Evanthe and Euphemia's announcements at Pride does that change your opinion on their 'pure' and 'untainted' line?" Queen Adriana I @ Ghost of Josiah: "Now that you've passed is there anything you wish you could've done while still alive that you didn't get to do? Also, do you think that the links built between our families will stand the test of time?" |

Joshua Rhodes: Diplomacy is something have struggled with. I was not a great politics player within the army. In my first few months as King we had the Illumic Crisis and a stand off with the CSTO. Some of my close, yet juvenile, friends have begun making jokes that my engagement to Evanthe is my way of securing such a diplomat to Seaforth's cause, since I am obviously unsuited for the task. Joking aside they do have a point. Evanthe is a world renowned diplomat and I would see her serve Seaforth as she did Rokkenjima. There will be some restructuring in post-Triumvirate Seaforth so I am not able to provide an office or title at this time.
That is one faction of Dijel and does not represent the whole of the nation. If democracies demand a shift to their form of government and monarchies demand a shift to theirs, where would that leave us? No, we will be making decisions about our form of government for the benefit of the people of Seaforth and no one else. Friendship with a price tag is no friendship at all.
Innocent XIV: The Anselmo line become tainted through the introduction of Vaughn DNA. I would assume, close proximity led the poor souls to fall to the corrupting influence of Alex Vaughn. I would also hazard to guess that perhaps the girls were coerced or forced into their announcements. Or perhaps they believe it to be the latest fad? I would bet on coercion.
The Ghost of Josiah II: I would have liked to have seen my grandchildren. I wold have liked to retire to the country and spent my days puttering around on an acreage, waiting for my grand children's next visit. I think it will depend on the generations to come to remember that they are family and actively work to keep those bonds strong. The first five generations will keep the pace set. The next five generations will determine whether the bonds fade or become reinforced. |

Isabella Watson: "The CIS is a personal thing for me in that it's my first major appointment, Adam's detailed the original significance of the CIS quite well. The future form of the CIS may well be determined by what happens with overarching organisations such as the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation- for my part while I understand the need and implications thereof with regard to a Commonwealth-CIS relationship and welcome it for the most part I would not want to do anything to compromise the spirit of the organisation." |

@Serenity/Peter: "With the CIS and CSTO sharing common values and, following the signature of treaties between Rokkenjima, East Moreland, Seaforth and Achkaerin the prospect for conflict between the two alliances seem to be quite remote. Where do you view the future of CSTO-CIS relations moving into the future? Do you believe that we'll see the alliances continue to reach out to each other?" @Catriona Rowan: "Many have drawn parallels between Riviere Corporation and Abstergo Industries, which was formed following the largest consolidation we've seen yet. What are your views of Abstergo? Do you share the opinion some have shared across social media that it is a 'copy-cat' of Riviere Corporation?" |

Peter: "Well the future of the CSTO-CIS relations depends on events beyond the control of the alliances for example there's an upcoming election in East Moreland in which membership of the CIS is an issue that clearly divides the respective parties, there's at least one political party in Ndambia which is anti CIS and only the Gods know what the situation in Seaforth is going to be post-war, I would hope it will be positive especially in light of the amount of help the CIS has thrown behind Joshua Rhodes but such things cannot be predicted. Future relations may also depend on how the two alliances reform now that the world is changing for example the battle lines between the CSTO and WARSAW are now not what they were only a few months ago. It seems ridiculous to entertain the idea that the two alliances will not continue to reach out to each other and work together, we know that no one can afford to play fast and loose with the security of the world and while it is neither alliances wish to be 'World Police' that is where we by implication stand at least until the Commonwealth is operational. Also with the power bases of the two alliances being where they are it makes logistical sense for the two to continue to work together closely." Serenity: "One day I will be Empress of Achkaerin, I don't know when but I know it's going to happen. One day I'd like to have children of my own and when I do I'd like to think that the world I'm entrusting to them is one where they will have all the support and advice they will inevitably need, because let's face it no one from the likes of Lydia who grew up in a children's home right up to the Empress of Rokkenjima is ever at the point where they can literally stand alone. How does that world come into being? Through the continued efforts of the CIS and the CSTO working in concert."
Catriona: "A copy-cat implies that Abstergo operates in exactly the same way as Riviere does. Riviere for example is the sole supplier and manufacturer for the Achkaerin military, I'm not aware that this is the case for Abstergo so I wouldn't call it an exact copy-cat, there are similarities for example we're currently working on genetic mapping for scientific, medical and ancestral reasons which is something that according to press reports that Abstergo are also working towards, we build the Vulpes class tank and Abstergo announce the Bodom T-1, we expand the RCTC and Abstergo start up their own program. We both have our own operating systems as well. While I don't share the opinion that they're necessarily a copy-cat that doesn't mean I don't deem them a competitor, however the likes of Riviere and OsmanTech have been in this game a lot longer than Abstergo and while I respect Abstergo as a competitor that does not mean I won't do everything I can to keep Riviere on top in the market." |

Right, then. Here we go again: King Michael I Age: 59 Personality: Well-meaning, authoritative, somewhat naïve Other info: Tytor's first king, Michael has a love of politics and "traditional living" that makes the Royal Palace rather... less than modern, let's say. Sometimes rather exasperating to his children. Prince Harold Age: 59 Personality: Jovial, out-going, extremely loyal to friends and family Other info: King Michael's fraternal twin brother (born less than five minutes after him), Prince Harold is the prime example of the popular uncle. Dreams of being a professional diplomat, but lacks experience. Often jokes of "those gosh darn extra five minutes". Sir John Percy Age: 35 Personality: Intelligent, focused, trustworthy Other info: Field Marshal Sir John Percy is Tytor's top general. In charge of the Army of the Southmark during the Davis Rebellion, Percy won praise for his swift thinking and decisive action. Lord Joseph Cornwallis Age: 37 Personality: Friendly, dedicated, stubborn Other info: Prime Minister Lord Joseph Cornwallis is the youngest person ever to attain his position, by election or otherwise. Elected in a landslide in 2012 following the retirement of Lord Edward North, Cornwallis has since led his country to become a regional power, combatting the Davis Rebellion and facing numerous international crises throughout his tenure. John H. Goodfellow Age: 52 Personality: Quick-thinking, impulsive, passionate Other info: Currently the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Goodfellow has been progressing steadily through the ranks of international diplomacy since the 1980s. Known for his impulsive, and sometimes rather brash, responses to the actions of other parties on the world stage. Lady Madeline Thatcher Age: 44 Personality: Even-tempered, firm, ambitious Other info: Head of the United Democratic Party, Thatcher's appointment as Ambassador to Rokkenjima was a surprise move reaching across party lines. In love with Rokkenjiman culture and cuisine. Thought to be considering a run for Prime Minister in 2016. |

David - "The CIS was a wonderful counter balance between the CSTO and Warsaw, while that rivalry hasn't fully gone it is, for the moment less of an issue. I believe though the organisation needs to change, we've seen two threats to its security from within, the Verover incident and now Seaforth and both times we've seen discussions about things like suspensions, sometimes we need instant action. As for the future I think with the recent inclusion of Sovereignty the organisation has a bright future, I think however it needs to take a step beyond just diplomatic and military measures." Harry - "It doesn't work anymore. Look at the Seaforth situation, action was needed quickly as people on the ground were dying and even now we have some CIS nations with no forces in theatre for various reasons. This is in my view unacceptable. The CIS needs to be the force that rather than politicing, like the CSTO tends to do with its offshoot, gets stuff done to benefit people of Mundus. To Sgt Thomas: "In the world of elite units, where would you rate yourselves? Top ten?" Positions 1-9 = Red Legion Position 10 = The Mjolinr (cos we train em) Seriously though I honestly believe that East Moreland military training is top rate, add to that we then take the best soldiers with 5 years of front line experience, put them through 31 weeks of intensive training which only gets you to the start of a 20 week training programme, after which they start a probation period that just a single Legionnaire can bring to an end, well I believe that's the most intense training on the planet. I've worked with some of the CIS elites, the Justicars are pretty handy, the Dijel Para's and Pathfinders are steady guys in a crisis and The Mjoliner will be a force to be reckoned with once they get more experience. Honestly though I'd fancy our chances toe to toe with any elite." |

Gah! Sorry I'm late!Goodfellow: "Er, I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I'll try and answer anyway. It is my personal belief, and I'm sure the Prime Minister will agree with me, that cultural differences should never stand in the way of the friendship and mutual respect that should always exist between neighbors at peace. As always, the Tytorian government hopes to strengthen the bonds that currently exist between Tytor and its fellow Albionic nations, and the Congress of Albion seems to be a definite step toward that goal." Michael: "Was ending the Grand Principality a good idea?" Harold: "What would have happened had I been born first?" Percy: "What could I do to improve the Tytorian military?" Cornwallis: "How would one go about understanding international politics?" Goodfellow: "Am I drunk?" Thatcher: "Does this dress make me look fat?" Michael: "Pass." Harold: "Yeah, I probably shouldn't answer this one. You see, I might well get in trouble with my wife. And those of you who're married to my daughters might want to choose to skip it too, or you will get in trouble with your wives." Percy & Cornwallis: "Noted." Goodfellow: "You guys're no fun. Anyway, to answer the question, snog Serenity, marry Stalin, avoid Zach Jong-Un." Thatcher: "Snog Zach, marry Stalin, avoid Serenity. That was actually rather easy." And now, to pass on the torch, some questions for the Morelanders. Any who haven't already answered this at some point: "What's your favorite pizza topping?" Ex-Prince James: "If you were still running East Moreland, what would you be doing right now?" (Note: James happens to be my favorite character of yours, Dave.) |

Pizza Question David -Meat feast......extra meat Matilda - Chicken and Mushroom Freya - Chili Beef and Jalapeño Redfern - Anything with pepperoni Tim - Hot ones Harry - Not a fan of pizza Sophie - Chicken and Ham Joanna - Meat Feast Ex-Prince James: "If you were still running East Moreland, what would you be doing right now?" "Well first thing would probably be practical. Despite joining with the Borlanders I saw it as a necessary evil, I suspect we'd now be having to clear them out of an area of the North. After that I'd have been trying to end the silly traditional adherence to this Canley lark, it holds our nation back and we spend more time looking backwards than forwards.

To then have that friendship thrown back at us by being instructed what we should do in what is our own backyard, well it threw all that out of the window. We'd never rule out renwing a friendship with the UAE but at the moment it's not a priority as we're yet to see what this new government plans to do internationally."

Thanks Okey doke, here we go. Ex-Chancellor Frederick Kaper von Rundstadt: A short, balding, rotund, man who had been Chancellor for over two decades and has been involved in government even longer. Rather old fashioned and very well learned. Chancellor Tiberius Schmied: Mid thirties and is anxious to bring Fahrland back onto the world stage. Former factory administrator turned economist-politician. Vice-Chancellor Leslie Voltno: 30ish, known to be a skilled compromiser, and a 'liberal.' Assemblyman Jörg Schultz: Older member of the longevity party who has been around almost as long von Rundstadt, known isolationist who has decided to change with the times. Some guy off the streets of the Großneuestadt: Who knows. And anyone else I may have happened to mention. |

von Rundstadt: Fahrland is anti-monarchist because we believe the institution of royalty exerts undue influence on the thoughts, actions, and character of the population. It isn't because we had a bad experience with monarchs in the past, it's an ideological stance. Additionally, they do not earn their positions, they use a disproportionate amount of resources, their lives are held as inherently more important, there are other more reliable ways of finding leaders, etc. Monarchy is antiquated and an excuse for the populace to not think for themselves. I do not see Fahrland joining in any serious relationship with a nation governed by monarchs or any non-representative government for that matter. Schultz: Ditto Schmied: Democracy and Socialism join together in Fahrland under a very distinct philosophy, and you cannot have Fahrland without it. We believe the only true freedom is freedom of the mind, monarchies don't allow that. We are wary of capitalism for much the same reason. Fahrland will not ally themselves with any nation that keeps its people in mental bondage, we seek to expand democracy and liberation not encourage its suppression. Our relationships with these nations will be purely need-based on our part. Random Guy: We Live and Die for the State under beautiful mountains.
von Rundstadt: Do these youngsters even know how to run a god-damn country? Snog Zach Jong-un, marry Stalin, avoid Serenity Azurewind the Corrupter. Voltno: Do I even know how to run a god-damn country? Snog Serenity Azurewind, marry Stalin, avoid Zach Jong-un Schultz: Can I get away with murdering that Vendosian prick da Rosa? Snog Zach Jong-un, marry Stalin, avoid Serenity Azurewind the blasted royal. Schmied: Are there any nations even slightly similar to us on Mundus? Snog Serenity Azurewind, marry Zach Jong-un, avoid Stalin, dead men do us no good after all. Random Guy: When will this depression end so I can eat something other than potatoes and cabbage? Who are these people? Chancellor Schmied: Firstly, we intend to incorporate Fahrland into the global economy and end this depression we've found ourselves in. Secondly, we are seeking to form strong relationships with other democracies on Mundus. Thirdly, we are going to promote the expansion of democracy and the destruction of all oppressive unrepresentative governments by any means prudent and necessary; it is high time these poor souls are liberated. The CSTO and CIS have too many undemocratic elements for us to support them. I am interested in the WARSAW pact, although I have reservations about whether those governments are merely facades for dictatorships. It may be necessary to form a new network of alliances. |

von Rundstadt: For now, as we have for a century, we must strive to lead primarily by example. However, the time may be fast approaching when military intervention is necessary to secure liberty. Of course, those who oppress unintentionally may be convinced to change their ways through non-violent means, and I'm certain this is the majority of the "monarchist states" on Mundus. Even if we must militarily convince nations to change their ways, physically abusive and oppressive states are much higher up on the list of priorities. I don't think it will have to come to war. Very seriously. Schmied: The free must always be on guard against the forces of tyranny; whether the world outside is hostile to democracy or not, it is the duty of the righteous to free their brethren from oppression. Like Assemblyman von Rundstadt said though, there is a list of priorities. Highest on that list is getting Fahrland economically back in order and our military (OOC: *cough* factbook) up to global standards. Then we can consider aiding political groups in peaceful nations, possibly fermenting revolts in more... uncooperative countries, and even military liberation campaigns. Dead serious. ---- Voltno: More civil freedoms, Schmied to stop backing the Nationalists, a guide to tell me what I'm supposed to be doing as Vice-Chancellor. von Rundstadt: To be Chancellor again, the Longevity party not to break apart, a world free of monarchs and dictators. Schultz: The Longevity party not to break apart, to not have to babysit the Vice-Chancellor, da Rosa. Dead. Clear? Schmied: The economy back together, a worldwide federated republic, a new more comfortable chair in my office. Random Guy: A job, a keg of beer, and a divorce lawyer.
von Rundstadt: Yes. Chancellor Schmied: Not necessarily, although it's a point of conflict. Diplomacy with any State with a monarchy is going to proceed more like a social experiment than a traditional international relationship, at least until we're certain it won't pose a serious issue. Ideology and thought trends aren't something you can just catalog or survey, they're subtle and require a lot of time and study to identify. The Federation is far more comfortable dealing with nations such as the UNP or the newly formed Slavic Federation, however relations with nations such as the Supreme Sovreignty are an impossibility. |

Oh, is it my turn? ![]() Beatrice Anselmo: ![]() Empress of Rokkenjima Princess of Littlebrook Beatrice reclaimed the Rokkenjiman Throne following the end of the Second Patriotic War, ending 97 years of oppression served up by a foreign-backed, corporatist Federal Republic. Her efforts at pairing an absolute monarchy with a strong and capable democracy have seen great success, with certain elements of the Rokkenjiman system (such as YourVoice) being implemented by foreign governments. Advocates a strong, values-based foreign policy which brought an end to historic Rokkenjiman non-interventionism and has spearheaded several efforts to improve human rights and international justice while promoting peace and stability in the international community. Her family and nation are her top priorities, although she also treasures Rokkenjima's allies. Seriously considers ordering a missile strike against the nation of the next person who uses the phrase 'Rokkenjiman imperialism'. Recently voted Greatest Mundusian. Euphemia Anselmo: ![]() Vicegerent of Rokkenjima Princess of Estvua Formerly known for her silence, she was appointed to replace Evanthe as Vicegerent and has largely embraced the role. Takes her responsibilities as Rokkenjima's premier diplomat seriously, and has worked to reform and reorganize Rokkenjima's Diplomatic Corps. While she prefers to remain in the background she feels confident that she can equal or surpass Eva's legacy in the position. Evanthe Anselmo: ![]() Former Vicegerent Princess of Arovium Still knows a thing or two about diplomacy, engaged to Joshua Rhodes and serving with the Seaforth Loyalists. Quite content with life, she looks forward to the end of the conflict and building a new life in Seaforth with Joshua. Charles Ofdensen: ![]() Lord High Steward, Chief Steward of the Imperial Household duties retained Still writes Harry and Evangeline's checks The Rt Hon. Charles Ofdensen regained his position as Lord High Steward following the departure of Lucius Stanley. At times Charles has ran the Imperial Government in the absence of the Empress and Vicegerent, and is seen by many as the third most powerful person in Rokkenjima. He also manages the holdings of the Imperial Family, manages their finances and expenses, and was recently heard cursing when Beatrice decided to spend $13m on an organ. He's very dedicated to the Imperial Family and Rokkenjima and takes his responsibilities quite seriously. He also manages Dethklok and keeps an eye on Abstergo. Sometimes shares his wine and brandy with others, but it's still mainly with the Imperial Couple. Yuriko Faust: ![]() Premier of Rokkenjima, Leader of the Centre Party The Rt Hon. Yuriko Faust is Rokkenjima's second Premier following reforms to the elected government. Takes more of an interest in foreign affairs than Alex would like, but enjoys a good working relationship with Beatrice. Lucinda Hadley is also available for questions. ^^ |

While I support regional cohesion and cooperation I would urge global powers to not recede behind regional walls but remain focused on international security, harmony and other matters which do not know regional boundaries." Euphy: "Northern Ardia is an immediate concern. For the first time since the fall of the Thematan Corporatist Regime we have a clearly oppressive government with hostile intentions towards its neighbour. We've also seen the foreign cancer of Warsaw try to set new roots in Ardia. We must meet these issues and challenge them with the full spectrum of Rokkenjiman diplomatic, economic and, if necessary, military might to bring an end to these threats." Charles: "The Illumic remains a challenging prospect, though through working with our Illumic allies and partners I feel that we shall see calm restored soon. Naturally the situation in Northern Ardia is of great concern and we'll be working through the Ardian Entente to address those concerns."
Beatrice: "Rokkenjima's education policy and system are managed under Domestic Affairs on the Imperial Council. Councillor Jones regurarly coordinates with myself and the Prefectures to ensure the Rokkenjiman education system is serving the needs of our students to the best of its ability, providing for them a world-class education. Naturally, I feel the set-up works for Rokkenjima and its needs."
Beatrice: "Hawaiian." Evanthe: "Buffalo chicken Euphemia: "No thank you." Charles: "Neapolitan."
Beatrice: "I wish to leave a better world for Adriana and Lucius." Evanthe: "I wish for peace to return to Seaforth." Euphemia: "I wish for a normal hair colour." Chalres: "I wish Alex would stop dipping into my brandy and wine stocks." Lucinda: "I wish for no further attempts against the Imperial Family."
"I hope to establish a stronger sense of cooperation between our nations, with closer cultural bonds being formed between our Peoples. I see a great opportunity for our nations to establish the Ardia-Albion area as a larger sphere of peace and prosperity and will endeavour to see that come into existence." |

Yippie....my first character AMA Not as many established charectors as some but here goes. Willa Sunbrek, Head of Longhouse Nations highest elected official, kind of like a President who has the remit for vetoing legislation from the Riksdag and dealing with foreign policy. Came to prominence as former Head of Longhouse Petter Knutsson's protégé and guided the Union through the MCUR, Uppsala Convention and the Gungnir crisis before being discovered as having a two year affair with UNP actress Krista Rosendahl[/b] Krista Rosendahl, UNP Celebrity One of the nations biggest celebrity names, LGBT rights campaigner, former wife of one of the nations top soccer players and partner of Willa Sunbrek. Was held hostage by the Gungnir onboard a hijacked flight. Arnór Frederiksen, Prime Minister Responsible for the domestic policies of the nation, a member of the Nordic Centre Party which seeks to find a balance between liberal policies on human rights, socialist policies on the welfare of citizens and free market economy. Birgit Strand, Foreign Minister Life long friend of Willa Sunbrek and the person responsible for dealing with many of the nations day to day dealings with foreign states. Kjetel Gunnarsson, former Head of Longhouse, Business Guru A deeply religious Odinist but politically niave, Kjetel found himself swept to power following the elections following Knutsson's death on a wave of religious ferver, he was easily manipulated by the Gungnir and resigned following their attempt to seize power, still leader of the Odinic Rite political party but not standing in elections preferring instead to concentrate on improving the image of Odinism. Major Martja Ottosen, The Mjölnir Commando The first woman in the UNP's first special forces unit, she was trained by East Moreland's Red Legion and was the one time lover of Alex Redfern following the pair meeting during the Gungnir's hostage situation in Dartfordia. Ragnar Odinsson, Leader of the Gungnir, goes by the title Head of the Odinist Longhouse Mysterious figure who runs the Odinist extremist terrorist group known as the Gungnir. Inherited the position following Tobias Odinsson (no relation all members of the Gungnir use the last name Odinsson) death during the siege of Uppsala, he masterminded the hijacking of the plane that ended up in Dartfordia. His ambition is to create the theocratic nation known as the Odinist Union of Nords. |
