OOC- Hola all I will be taking over Bacchus, I noticed there were no stories or communiques from said nation. Well that changes now
Bacchus –
The Independence Day parade went smoothly as always. The people were in high spirits even if they still could not perform the parade outside. The troops marched past in orderly and professional manner, even if their eyes said just how much they wanted to break ranks and join the festivities. The hologram fireworks displays across the planets today drew crowds in record numbers. President Soto waved to the assembled citizens proudly. And continued to do so despite the cramp in her wrist that was developing. Finally the speeches were made, the crowd slowly dispersing as the celebration was ending President Soto turn to the head of the new BRSB (Bacchus Republic Security Bureau) Alberto Ranine. He nodded in response and the pair walked to the Press room.
Upon entering the reporters turned on their holo-recorders and stood as appropriate while the President was announced. President Soto took her place behind the podium and stood with confidence (as one should win they win reelection with a 68% majority out of the three major candidates.). “Today on this most auspicious of holidays, the day when we mark the beginning of our grand nation unlike any other in Human history, I am here to introduce you to the head of the newly created Bacchus Republic Security Bureau – Mr. Alberto Ranine.” He walked up onto the stage as choreographed earlier shook her hand in the showy manner also rehearsed earlier; and the President stepped aside while he fielded questions.
Next day the news reports were as favorable as always when President Soto did anything for Bacchus. The usual terms were bandied about, True Patriot, Leader of our Grand Experiment, and so on. Soto met with the Cabinet the next day and made sure to praise the Chief of Defense on her smartly ordered troops. All in all things appeared to be well on the surface, but there was an undercurrent no one knew how to answer, the political situation on Earth. They all knew the powers would consolidate, just no one expected it to happen quite this quickly. After the meeting President Soto called in here attendant and had him begin taking notes…
From: Republic of Bacchus
To: Solar Federation
While we are not based in Sol system, we are a sovereign nation and would simply like to ask a few notes of clarification -
1- To begin I would like to know what if anything this new Federation would do to trade, immigration, tourism, etc...
2- I would also like to know what your disposition is on the shared use of your member nations' Stigma routes (ooc: forgot the appropriate term will correct later) and the ability of other nations to use said routes also.
3- How if at all will this effect our ongoing trade and peaceful coexistence with the American Colonies in our system. I would be very disappointed if there was any change at all in our comfortable existance here in Infinitas.
Thank you for your time in addressing these issues, sincerely hope to hear positively on these issues.
The Honorable President Isabella Soto of the Republic of Bacchus
Edit - OOC: Iggy Assume this msg was sent prior to the one of which I was just made aware
From: Republic of Bacchus
To: EU
Would simply like to extend our warmest regards and continued good relations for the future. We have noticed the slipping of our friendship due to lack of communication all of our citizens would like to avoid any deterioration of our friendship between nations.
The Honorable President Isabella Soto
OOC: Again hola all!
Edit - Okay I just realized is the UN attempting to go off planet or is that what you are attempting to start with this Solar Federation? If the UN is trying to extend off planet have they approached Bacchus?
