King Gregorious I of Gilead
Your majesty,

In an effort to build relations with our friends in the outside world, I would like to establish diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom of Gilead. Though technically Rusnya is neutral (we'll be attending the summit in Medai), we feel it would be in our best interests to establish a friendship with Gilead, who, despite cultural differences, we can share a lot in common with. The days of an isolationist Rusnya are over, and we look forward to your response.

Most sincerely,

Heinrich Amsel
President of the Unified Federation of Rusnya

To King Gregorious
We shall happily accept your invitation to Heavengate. It shall be our first stop on our diplomatic missions in the Western Hemisphere, with a visit to Medai following shortly after. Our delegation shall consist of myself, Secretary of Defense Hans Actohagen, and Secretary of Foreign Affairs Irwin Oesterle, as well as a couple of agents from the Rusnyan Presidential Security Agency. We look forward to visiting your great country and starting a lasting friendship. Our flight shall depart from Kaliningrad tomorrow.

Kaliningrad, Rusnya
Presidential Manor


President Amsel was in the main presidential bedroom, getting ready for the trip to Gilead. The President was nervous, this would be the first diplomatic trip he would embark on as a head of state. He was used to negotiating economic deals, but that was when he also wasn't representing an entire country. He was so lost in his thoughts that he failed to notice that he had put his tie on backwards.

Kristin Amsel: Dear, you're sort of a mess right now (snickering). Here, let me help with that.

The President's wife unties his tie, putting it on the correct way.

Kristin: You musn't be so nervous, Heinrich. Everything is going to be fine. You'll make a great impression on King Gregorious, I'm sure of it. You're young, you're ambitious, and you're such a gentleman to top it off. Plus, you'll have Irwin and Hans there to help you out.
Amsel: I know Kris, it's just jitters. I knew I'd have to do this eventually, nothing can really prepare you for it though.
Kristin: (kissing her husband on the cheek) Just remember you're there for a friendly sit-down, you have nothing to be intimidated by.

A security agent named Glazkov knocks on the door.

Agent Glazkov: The motorcade is here, Mr. President. We should leave soon.
Amsel: Yes, thank you Fedor. (kissing Kristin goodbye) I love you, tell the kids I'll see them in a couple of days.

The President leaves the Manor to the road in front of the main courtyard, where a limousine is waiting with the rest of the Rusnyan delegation. Amsel enters the limo and it departs for the airport. Throughout the drive to the airport, the President reviews documents with his Secretaries of State and Defense, anything to calm his nerves. Upon arrival at the airport, the Rusnyans pass through the security checkpoints and take their seats in the Presidential Jet.

Pilot: We'll be there in about 10 hours, gentleman. Might want to get some shuteye.

The plane taxis onto the runway, and takes off a few minutes later, bound for Heavengate.

The Elitist Guard had already planned, in coordination with their Rusnyan counterparts, for the arrival and departure of the Rusnyan officials.

Lin Beifong, Director of the Royal Elitist Guards had been given personal instruction by the King to ensure the safety of the Rusnyans at all costs, so the measures taken to appeal to that were almost equivalent to the measures that would be taken if an actual royal were traveling.

Director Worley and the newly appointed Diplomat to Rusnya met President Amsel and the rest of his party as they descened their plane.

"Welcome to Gilead," the diplomat, Thomas Worley, said to the President, "The King is waiting in the palace, attending to some last minute matters. I trust you were rested on the way here?"

Amsel shook Worley's hand, "Good day, Mr. Worley, it's a pleasure. But yes, myself and Secretaries Actohagen and Oesterle were able to get some shuteye on the way here. Ten hour flights give you a lot of time to read government documents and sleep, apparently" chuckled Amsel. "We truly are excited to be here and to meet His Majesty. I'm confident we'll make some excellent progress during our stay here."

Mr. Worley smiled as he released the President's hand, "And His Majesty is equally, if not more, is excited to speak to you on your new government's progression and how Gilead can assist in the process and possibly provide some protection from the more aggressive parties of Victorium."

He then cleared his throat, smiled again, then began walking towards a nearby limousine (property of the Royal Elitist Guards) which was accompanied by a sizable joint-squadron of Elitist Guard and HeavenGate Police vehicles.

"Right this way," Director Beifong said, holding one arm straight out, pointing towards the sttationary motorcade.

"Ah, thank you very much" said Amsel, as he and his entourage entered the limousine, followed by the Gileadeans. The door closed and the limo departed from the airport, followed by the security force.

"I must say, your capital is both sizable and beautiful" said Amsel, admiring HeavenGate out the window. "I must say I'll have to bring the wife next time, although she might not want to leave" laughed the President.

The President was surprised his nerves hadn't caught up to him yet. Things were going smoothly and naturally with the Gileadeans. Then again, he had to remind himself that he would still have to maintain the same composure when meeting King Gregorious.

"It is very beautiful, indeed," Mr. Worley replied,"And everyone is still amazed at how the Transportation Ministry keeps such impeccable traffic flow. There's rarely a wreck even though the city has one of the largest vehicular commuter populations in the Kingdom."

After about 20 minutes of casual conversation and frequent exchanges of laughter, the motorcade began moving into the palatial grounds, which many call the Yard of HeavenGate, or HeavenYard. Rather than going through the front of the building and escorting the dignitaries up to the throne room, the limousine carrying those participating in the meeting went around to meet the King at a beautiful part of the palace.

PALACE OF MAJESTY
0345

The King had chosen a more relaxed location for the meeting so that the new government officials wouldn't feel intimated. Plus, he would hate to ruin a perfectly good day; the clouds were few, the sun shone just enough, and the wind caressed one's aura with the faintest of a whisper.

As the limousine's black body appeared in his peripheral vision, Gregorius began walking to the half way point down the stairs, and the arriving party would walk the other half way up to meet him. While he was casual in his demeanor, ho wore a black suit with a blue tie, adorned with his reassuring smile.

The limousine stopped, and a member of the Elitist Guard opened the door. Amsel was surprised to see the King already standing there as he and his secretaries exited the limo. "This is it," he thought to himself, "game time." Secretary Oesterle gave him a reassuring pat on the back, and the President took a deep breath and began to ascend the stairs to meet the King, with Oesterle and Actohagen following behind.

"Your Majesty," said Amsel, shaking the King's hand with both of his, "President Heinrich Amsel of the Unified Federation of Rusnya, accompanied by Secretary of Foreign Affairs Irwin Oesterle and Secretary of Defense Hans Actohagen. Allow me to say it truly is an honor that you have welcomed us into your country."

The King smiled and was thankful for the Rusnyan President's appreciative tone. "And the fact that you chose to come here first in your very first trip to the Western Hemisphere shows a dedication to building a friendly relationship," he began, "Now, please, follow me up to the seats at the top. If you want anything, and I mean just about anything, to eat, please don't hesitate to ask one of the servants who will be nearby. I will ask that you not consume alcoholic beverages. Sure, it helps with honesty, but it leaves wisdom by the wayside. Wouldn't you agree?"

President Amsel chuckled as the men reached the top of the stairs, "Heh, yes of course. It did get me in quite a few sticky situations in my younger days, so I can sympathize. A water will be perfectly fine."

"We'll take two glasses as well. Thank you, your Majesty" said Secretary Actohagen.

The Rusnyans sat down with the King. "So, Your Majesty," began Amsel, "as you are aware we are quite keen on establishing friendly relations with like-minded nations, whether they be political, economic, or military in nature. We actually have a delegation from Valkany meeting with Vice-President Petrov as we speak. Due to our close proximity to Victorium, we've had a great deal of concern that the aggressors in the war could target us someday, especially due to the fact that we are quite oil rich."

"A relationship with Valkany is something I've pursued as well. As a matter of fact, my Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs just hosted a meeting with the Imperial Consul of Valkany in the week past. We've established a mutual defense treaty, forming the first lines of a new, anti-fascist front. Is this something the new Republic of Rusnya would be interested in?"

After his statement, a few servants arrived to serve finger sandwiches and very cool glasses of water. The Spring winds from the mountains west of Cielo breezed by, bringing the sweet smell of spiked elaeagnus nearby.

President Amsel took a bite of his sandwich and a sip of water, "Most definitely, Your Majesty. In fact, my Vice-President also finished up the final touches on our own Mutual Defense Treaty with Valkany, so Rusnya and Gilead are essentially linked already."

"Rusnya, Valkany, and Gilead are three of the few bastions of democracy left in this world, Your Majesty," said Secretary Oesterle, "a pact of our own would prove very useful in the event we are drawn into conflict with the fascists and dictators of Victorium. Of course, we would have to arrange a summit between all three powers if we were to follow through on it, but we can save that for a later date. Just know that for now we would definitely be on board with a defense treaty with Gilead."

"Excellent," said Addison Banks, Minister of Foreign Affairs, "Here are the terms we have drawn up for proposal. They are exactly the same offered to the Empire of Valkany last week."

a consultative relationship with States, Regional Organizations, Associations of States or other 
authorities in the Terania Sea Area in a position to further the purposes of this Treaty and to
