Imperium Offtopicum - UN Building

[Joecoolyo]

a 1 and a half thousand feet high statue is an eyesore. ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS IN OLD CONSTANTINOPLE! high rises aren't allowed there. period. AND its also a navigational hazard. and its not stable enough. an earthquake will tear it down regardless of any structural supports. its too heavy, the center of gravity too high and the bottom too flimsy.

im tearing down my statue. and shipping the pieces back to Constantinople.

Are you calling me ugly?

Anyways, thousands of Israeli's on their way to work this morning, expecting a good laugh or two by looking at your statue, were sorely disappointed to find it missing.

Why do you have to be a party-pooper?

Oh, and all the engineering has been taken care of. We've used materials that won't make it top heavy, we have anti-earthquake junk so it won't collapse, and we put a little light on top so airplanes can spot it in the fog and at night.

The universally accepted Venetian TL.

Everything up to 1797 is the same, just replace "Ottomans" with "Byzantines" after the OTL Fall of Constantinople.

1797-Venice conquered by Napoléon. All of its colonies declare independence, but are quickly annexed by Byzantium

Everything afterwards is the same until

2009-Italy goes into sudden bankruptcy and anarchy. The only two places spared are Venice, who quickly organizes itself, and The Vatican. This causes Byzantium to invade, and take, Sicily. To this day, Venetians find the occupation of Sicily to be unlawful, but The Doge doesn't mind.

2010-With the rest of Italy, except for The Vatican, seeing Venice is an all-right place, they said "Hey, if that country was a person, I'd have a beer glass of wine with them". They willingly join Venice. Venice, being Catholic, allows The Vatican and Pope Perfection to keep his micronation.

END TIMELINE.

Any complaints?

im so sick and tired of telling everyone this: the Republic came from its own native time line. NOW LISTEN TO IT!

if there is any revisionism, its revisionism to include YOU GUYS in!

Stop acting like your Emporer of the Universe, mate, or I shall lampoon you liberally on DYOS.

.... close enough. mind you Byzantium never falling in 1453 is liable to alter the time line quite a bit. but on the most simple basic level, you are right.

i will use this time line ONLY when dealing with others. internal matters such as military, technology, etc, will be of my time line. deal?

fine, ill take your word for it. just a hint: even the most well designed earthquake proof buildings will collapse eventually. and please maintain it.

i tore down my statue cause the resources were needed elsewhere. and cause i neglected to make it a light house. if you want i can have it rebuilt.

I'll buy the land from you. I don't believe I have any embassies opened yet!

Speaking of which, it is quite grievous that I don't have an embassy in Venice, my most neutral ally!

very well. you will pay 100 million million dollars, then the land is yours.

 

[Double A]

Suck it not Venice

 

[sophie]

100 million million dollars? for a small area that is now barren? . We may be wealthy but we ain't stupid. Lower the charge or no deal.

Is there any land you'll be willing to sell me for less Joe?

the Caliphate charged me 600 million to buy the embassy land from him. and that was up from 200 million when i objected to the sentimental value of the area. im still trying to recoup the cost. i may add an event to speed up the process.

i can settle for one million.

The fact that you actually paid that is testament to Byzantium's naïveté.

@Owen: I've operated on the assumption that players have embassies with each other by default.

if i objected you would have risen the price more.

Sell? In fact, I'll give it to you free! You can get a spot right next to all the other embassies on embassy road in Tel Aviv. A spot that also happens to be right on the beach! Enjoy!

 

[Double A]

The Injastanians send the leader of Israel a gift basket on the back of an elephant. It is also the world's first -free elephant.

so with Joe giving away land for free ( bad practice actually but whatever) i'm rebuilding my embassy.

You get the land for free, but I get to choose where it's placed.

Owen gets his on the beach right next to all the others.

You, you get yours next to the city dump in the industrial district. This is because you tore your statue down

Here's the beautiful view from outside your embassy's window.

Hey! Why is he next to my embassy?

 

[Virote_Considon]

If you like, I could build a giant statue of the leader of Byzantium with his trousers half way down his ankles on the roof of my embassy?

Byzantium declines your offer and implores you to stop polluting the earth. you can either shut it down or buy a pollution converter for only $49,99. by one and get one free!

and virote: do and i sue you for desecrating a leader, insulting a leader and putting me in a bad light.

and joe why are all of your embassies located in tel aviv? isn't Jerusalem the capital?

That's my embassy you're talking about!

does your embassy actually do anything? liek manufactering or anything to justify the pollution?
