[CAP] Greetings from Caputia

HER MAJESTY'S FOREIGN OFFICE
Zalae, Caputia

To:
Foreign Minister,
The Imperial Republic of Shireroth

Your Excellency, Greetings:

I have been recently appointed by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I of Caputia, as Foreign Minister and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to the Micran Nations.

Her Majesty has expressed the incredible esteem and value that she places on the development of friendly relations with the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, especially after the assistance and support it gave to the Ravaillac Loyalists, the Hammish Republican Army and to the Neo Patrovan Militias during the terrible civil war that ravaged our country. The kindnesses and assistance extended by Shireroth to Caputia shall never be forgotten.

As such, I wish to announce that Her Majesty has taken special care of ensuring that I come here to seek the development of a close diplomatic relationship between Shireroth and Caputia. Her most sincere hope is for friendship and cooperation on all topics of mutual interest, within the neutrality policy proclaimed by Her Majesty earlier this year.

Exchanging of ambassadors will be the natural next step in the diplomatic process. I shall present my formal letters of credence very soon, as I will serve in the meantime as the Caputian ambassador to Shireroth until the diplomatic corps can settle into their jobs.

Respectfully,

George Blakeslee
Caputian Foreign Minister

Your Excellency

First of all, allow me to express my apologies for the lateness of my reply. The Imperial Government has had a small but not insignificant transfer of power from the outgoing Steward, Liv Dravot, The Imperial Mother, and the incoming Steward, Waldemar Zinkgraven van Zinkgraven. That said, I have now the great pleasure to convey to you the greetings of the Steward and the Imperial Government.

Further, if you would be so kind and extend to Her Majesty the Queen the warmest greetings from His Radiant Majesty the Kaiser, who took great pleasure in hearing Her Majesty’s incredible esteem. Following discussions with His Radiant Majesty, The Steward and the Imperial Ministers, it is clear that Shireroth wishes with a unanimous voice assist and support the Caputian restoration.

Shireroth has closely monitored the events in Caputia after the fall of the Hammish state. We take some solace that the assistance that Shireroth provided mitigated the awful loss of life, limb and property that the Caputian people have suffered.

The Kaiser wishes especially to convey to Her Majesty his humility in Her Majesty’s kind wishes. The Kaiser desires a close relationship with Her Majesty and Her Majesty’s realm. As such, the Imperial Government is pleased to confirm the Caputian government’s neutrality policy and the offer of exchange of ambassadors.

Further, the Kaiser’s government, being mindful of the situation that Caputia finds itself in, wishes to assist in such way as may be conducive for the common good in Caputia. The Imperial Government proposes therefore that it set up the Imperial Shirerithian Investment Bank in the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia. Funded by Shirerithian money, it would provide interest-free loans to private individuals, local governments and private enterprises so to assist in the economic reconstruction of Caputia. The Investment Bank would also be able to grant bursaries to local projects that are in the interest of Caputian restoration and the Shirerithian–Caputian friendship.

With the utmost of respect

Your Excellency,

It is with great pleasure that I officially present Her Majesty's Letters Patent confirming my appointment as Her Foreign Minister and Ambassador Plenipotentiary to all Micran Nations.

The incoming Landry Government has within its core vision and purpose to rebuild the country, and believes that the proposed aid from Shireroth as Your Excellency has graciously proposed would be most welcome. What are the next steps to begin this process? Caputia's current laws are very lax and would permit this to be set up very quickly. Please let me know what the next steps will be and I will ensure that Caputia and its new Government will take action.

Yours,

Your Excellency

On behalf of Our Lord the Radiant Sun – Kaiser Ayreon IV – and the Imperial Minister of the Exterior, being the Royal Iron Company in commission, I have the honour to present my compliments to you and the Caputian government.

The Shirerithian government recognizes of course your credences as they appear to be in a good form. Similarly, it is my part now to give you my credences so that we may continue the good parlance that the Minister’s predecessor, Lord Jamal-Arminzadeh, and you began.

Please find my credence here http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic ... 82#p157182

It is the view of the Imperial Government that a treaty to fulfil the offer made by the previous administration would be the best for all parties involved. I shall aim to draft a treaty of the matter to present to you in private as a basis for further negotiations, if further negotiations are required.

Please be assured, Sir, of my highest consideration,
Juana Beazcoetxea, Lady Dragonmoor

Your Excellency

Please extend to Her Majesty the Queen the Kaiser's congratulations on her securing the people's confidence in remaining Queen in the latest referendum. He was delighted and impressed with the turn-out and for the people of Caputia to have finally ratified a constitution.

The Shirerithian government sees the recent development in Caputia to be fruitful for the future stability of Caputia. Only through stability and peace will Caputia rise fully from the ashes of the war. Shireroth wants to be a close partner in supporting Caputia in this endeavour.

Although we are still working on a treaty draft, the Kaiser is very keen on keeping close relations with Her Majesty. Once he returns from his duties in Natopia, he wishes to invite Her Majesty the Queen on a state visit to Shirekeep.

I remain, etc.

Your Excellency,

It is with great pleasure that I communicate that the Caputian Parliament has unanimously ratified the Treaty of Friendship between our nations.

With the ratification of the Treaty, the next step to follow would be to proceed with registration of the Imperial Investment Bank in Caputia (IIBC) as a business in Caputia and Shireroth immediately. I can see that the IIBC has already received its UTIC number already, which is a good step forward.

With the terrible War of the Lost Brothers reaching near its end, our government believes that there are ample opportunities for trade and commerce between our nations that far outnumber the already well-established commerce between our countries. We have noticed that the Regent, the Count of Elsyran, is constructing a new capital city for his county and is likely to be in need of quality Caputian marble products. We also notice major projects in Shirekeep and we'd like to explore opportunities in that front for the use of high-quality Caputian marble for those projects as well.

In the meantime, we also request assistance in locating a property for the Caputian Embassy in Shirekeep at your earliest convenience.

I would also like to point out to His Excellency that the Caputian Parliament will conclude a vote on a resolution to extend an invitation to His Most Gracious Imperial Majesty, the Kaiser, to visit Zalae and speak to the Caputian Parliament. The vote is set to conclude later today, with unanimous support - a reflection of the esteem and value that this relationship between our nations has among the Caputian people.

I remain available for any questions or concerns.

Yours truly,

With joy, we receive in the name of the Kaiser, the news you convey as well as the invitation to him to go to Caputia on a state visit and address the parliament. The proposed state visit would be an excellent opportunity for our governments to discussing matters of trade to make a more lasting trade agreement between our countries.

Your Excellency

I am in receipt of your letter, which has brought so much joy and comfort to our Lord the Radiant Sun. He has written to me to send to the Caputian parliament all his love, devotion and admiration. He is moved and touched by this resolution, and he fondly remembers the warm welcome he received there.

The Imperial Government, too, is grateful for this action. It is a testament to the strong and happy relationship that our countries have. It is, I dare say, the strongest friendly non-allied relationship in all of Micras, and I am proud that our countries have managed to build this up from the rubbles of the Hammish civil war.

Together, we make great things happen.

I have the honour to remain, Sir, your humble servant,
