Amidst the frustrated ambassadors at the Security Council politely sat the nervous young Kyeji Yamazeka, the newly appointed Representative of the Serene Kingdom’s Security Seat at the Assembled Nations. Yamazeka only recently ascended to the position assigned to him by Kinmura’s federal democratic government, taking the torch from the far more seasoned Henzo Ue. To Yamazeka, the whole debacle that occured at the General Assembly felt almost cartoonish in how it unfolded; like a badly written comedy on trash TV. Most shocking however was Sekhemrekhuarawy, Per-Aten’s representative. Such uncourteous behaviour would have never flown in the Federal Parliament back home; or any provincial body in Esonice for that matter. But despite Yamazeka’s personal feelings on the topic or the General Assembly as a whole, he was forbidden from speaking until given permission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Forced into continued silence, left twiddling his thumbs beneath his desk as the ruckus crowd of ambassadors bickered at each other from across the floor. However, here in the much calmer environment of the Security Council, much to Yamazeka’s relief, he was finally given permission to voice Esonice’s stance on Velaheria to the Assembled Nations. After Nataša Gišić finished giving her points across to the council, Yamazeka skittishly sprung up from his seat clearing his throat before turning on his microphone. “Fellow ladies and gentlemen of the Security Council, after watching the events unfold at the General Assembly it has helped the Serene Kingdom fully realise its stance on the ongoing crisis in Velaheria. Having quietly voted in favour of Resolution 66/03, we vocally and wholeheartedly endorse Emergency Resolution 66/01 put forward by the Kingdom of Seylos. The Serene Kingdom will be ready to fully commit to our assigned mission of providing humanitarian aid to the Velaherian people in their time of need. Taking assertive charge in the efforts of bringing supplies to the most affected communities; sending professional expertise including doctors and teachers; bringing on and utilising the experience of Esonian charities including Esonice contributing a large fund in purchasing the necessary supplies for the humanitarian effort. We will welcome any and all who would wish to partake in the noble cause with open arms. It is of utmost urgency that the Assembled Nations act with haste upon the ongoing tragedy plaguing Velaheria.” Yamazeka then looked down at his notes before lifting his head back up at the rest of the Council watching him. “As for the Serene Kingdom’s stance on the Empire of Orioni’s involvement in overthrowing the Velaherian government… We are sceptical of the legality of Orinese actions and the intention of their forces, believing that Orinese interference on Velaherian soil tampered with established international precedent and showing blatant disrespect to the basic sovereignty of all nationstates. Despite us sympathising with what Mrs. Gišić has said, the Empire of Orioni simply cannot go on without any penalty for couping a sitting government. Silently permitting such acts would jeopardise everything the Assembled Nations is striding towards, planting the seeds of doubt and mistrust among nations and letting negative sentiments about the Assembled Nations spread further endangering its mission in bringing all the wurld's nations closer together through diplomatic and civilised means. Let us not fail the people of Eurth again repeating the mistakes of Anglia. If we wish for the Assembled Nations to remain a respected and fair institution we must undertake a thorough investigation into Orinese involvement in the overthrowing of the Velaherian regime despite the previous goverment's ideological alignment, requesting the individuals involved to stand before the International Court of Justice. We must also ensure that such underhanded acts against other nations will not happen again, making it clear to the international community moving forward that involvement in any attempts of destabilising or overthrowing sitting governments will not in any way be viewed favourably by the Assembled Nations. The sovereignty of nations must be upheld, lest the Assembled Nations fall.” Yamazeka finished, giving a bow before sitting back down on his seat to let the next person speak.

Date Liam's letter arrived Monday, 12th of February 1979 Date Saoirse's letter sent Wednesday, 14th of February 1979 Date Saoirse's letter arrived Friday, 8th of March 1979 "Dear Liam, I’m so happy to hear from you again! I wrote this letter in haste, I’ve been keeping up closely with the conflict unfolding back home, a local newspaper focused around Argic politics being of great help. It is really heartbreaking to hear news of Gotneska erupting into full blown turmoil. A part of me hoped that there was still a chance for the ridiculous ethnic wars at home to end. But what has happened has happened, my biggest concern is you and our family. Hearing what has occurred in Cloíríníocht has made me very worried, fearing for the worst. Having had several sleepless nights already, praying that you haven’t been injured or even involved. However, reading that you have been brought off your non-combat service before the events at Cloíríníocht has admittedly made me more distressed. I can only hope that you’re still here to read this letter. It’s really touching that you’ve kept my words with you. It’s true that the Lord is always watching over and guiding us. It’s what I always told myself when I’m overwhelmed or needing to persevere through something stressful. But I too always have to remind myself this - The Lord can only guide me, he cannot interfere. It is up to me out of my own free will gifted by God to find my way out of the dark into the light by the help he granted. Please stay vigilant Liam and avoid unnecessary danger, it would devastate me to hear that you have been injured or even worse. I hope these words continue to bring you comfort, especially in such troubled times. I will continue praying every morning and night for you and the safety of our family. I wish I could say so much more, but there is only so much you can express through words and limited space to write them on. I yearn to see you and our family back together all safe and uninjured. Until then, I will continue focusing on my studies and artistic journey to make you and mum proud, hopefully our dad too despite him being against my creative pursuits. You’re in my prayers, Saoirse."

After a discussion Esonice is no longer involved in Yosai's origins. Instead it was agreed that Mito would suit that role much better since Mito is the closest Azumic/Japonic nation to Yosai's location. Either way, welcome to our region!

Esonice started following A Soldier's Letter , Naming the Seas and [Map Request] Motoharu-chū
-
Since most in the area seemed to like the name Lotus Sea, let's finally give the unnamed gulf a name! Lotus Sea I think is a very fitting name because of the character of the region with it's East Asian themes and its cultural concepts of stuff like "serenity" and "peace".

After discussing a bit with Motoharu, we agreed on the new shape of the territory. I have managed to bump up Motoharu to 97.17 km2 (39.09 sq mi) through tweaking the borders on mainland Esonice and adding in some tiny islands on my own map. Mainland Motoharu itself is 75.72 km2, the 5 biggest islands adding in the extra 21.45 km2. I think this would continue to be an insignificant change on the actual Eurth map, with a citystate marker doing just fine. Below is the map of how this would look like on my map. As shown in DMs, Motoharu would be placed where the red dot is on the Eurth map. If Kado (currently Nando on the map) is causing too much clutter in the area it can be removed to make space for Motoharu, Maimedo's name can probably be moved above it's capital marker if more space is needed.

All is good with me! I unfortunately am unable to provide a much larger area without sacrificing a significant portion of Esonice. I tried to find the best spot possible fitting your vision, an area matching Guangdong's mercantile history, also providing as much space as I can in that spot. The original population size concerned me, but I am happy with 1 to 1.5 million people! About the location of Motoharu on the actual Eurth map, it has been provided directly to Xio through dms on discord due to imgur links not working currently for me on the forums.

Date Liam’s letter arrived Wednesday, 20th of December 1978 Date Saoirse’s letter sent Friday, 22nd of December 1978 Date Saoirse’s letter arrived Monday, 15th of January 1979 "Dear Liam, It’s been so long since the last time I saw you. By the time this letter reaches you Christmas is probably long over, but I still hope you had a wonderful Christmas and new years with your fellow men at the barracks. Admittedly, this December has felt rather lonely.. Besides the sparse few Christian communities here in Kado, Christmas isn’t really something celebrated here. However it isn’t all bad, my new friends are coming over on the 25th to celebrate with me, wanting to cheer me up. I am so excited to introduce them to some of our traditions from back home! Despite that however, I do still feel a little homesick. Also wishing that all our family was together again to celebrate. It just doesn’t feel the same without you, mum, dad.. But I hope that one day we all get to reunite and have another wonderful Christmas together. Being here in Esonice has truly been an almost magical experience, too much to put into one letter. The life, the culture, the food, it’s all so different from things back in Gotneska. Nearly everyday I learn something new which keeps things fresh and exciting. Though I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have trouble adapting to all of the customs, not including heat. But my friends have made things a lot easier, especially someone called Himi Uyama. Himi and I have become very close. She’s been very supportive of me, helping me learn more about Esonian culture and language which I still struggle with sometimes. In July she even invited me over to camp with her friends in the mountainous depths of Esonice in Sankai province. Sankai, funnily enough, meaning something along the lines of “mountainous sea” which was no joke. The sights in Sankai were mesmerising, silky clouds gently flowing over the mountains. Covering them like blankets. The cooler temperatures were also a welcome one. My most fascinating experience however was listening to the older Esonian generation telling recountings of the past. Stories of their lives during the Mitonese occupation of Esonice, the surpression of Esonian sovereignty in the 1920s.. Those times were very traumatising for Esonians, it helped me understand why many Esonians hold their traditions so dear. It even brought me a new perspective on our own struggles back in Gotneska. Esonians never lost hope in fighting against odds that seemed almost impossible to beat, eventually coming out on the other end to a brighter future. I too believe that once all the smokes clear in Gotneska, we too can have a bright future. This is what I want to conclude with, to tell you to never lose hope. We will see each other again, and when we do I will show around all the places I’ve been in here in Esonice! With love, Saoirse."

AN Headquarters, Anbrekport, Iwenland, 01/06/2010 Henzo Ue, 宇烏賢三, AN Permanent Representative for Esonice, In regard to the proposition made by Angus MacAlpine “It is indeed a great travesty, an injustice, treachery to all of humanity that such a barbaric, vile practice is still present in parts of our modern wurld. The ANTFAS may very well be needed to help those still in clutches of the nightmare that is slavery, helping them escape their oppression and trauma. Treated like vermin, unfairly stripped of their own will to live their lives freely by demons that walk this Eurth among us. They do not belong with us, they can’t sit with us. The disgusting people that uphold and even propagate the practice of slavery deserve to be brought to justice. To face the reality of what they have done to countless innocent human lives and end the institution of slavery once and for all and correct the wrongs of the past and present for future generations to look back and be proud of what their forebears have done today. The Serene Kingdom of Esonice will gladly take part in such a noble and valiant cause. Already having a long and recent history of helping slaves escape their captors from the unfairly occupied Esonian cities of Mikura and Sademi by @Florentia. Esonian experience with helping those in chains find stability and peace will be a most valuable asset for ANTFAS in ending slavery glubally. However, as noble the effort will be, our navies and forces cannot be everywhere at once to stop the practice. Not only would it be impossible for us to track every single slaver, trade and backdoor dealing, it would also be a very costly endeavour that has the potential to discourage others from participating in the ANTFAS cause, some to even to feel alienated by it. Viewing it as a way for foreign imperialists trying to force their values and ideals onto them. Military action and ostracisation is not always the answer to our problems, in fact it can be harmful if not further emboldening of such practices. If we truly want to eradicate the institution of slavery on this planet forever, we must dig out and demolish its foundations. Slavery to an economy and society can be like a drug, a high on greed or misled practices and ideas embedded in a culture’s mindset. A habit that can be very difficult if not impossible to quit without proper outside help. That is why the ANTFAS should not only act as a glubal policeman against the evil of slavery, but also as a helper. A doctor or therapist that comes to help his or her patient, to free them from their troubles and let them grow as a new and better person. To not become their enemy, but a heroic friend that has saved them from their dark path. This is why I propose an alternative. An alternative for those countries across the Eurth willing to let go of their slave markets, embrace modernity and become a part of our international community. I believe things like development funds, special treatments such as lower tariff costs and even exchange programs would go a long way to entice present slaver nations to rethink and help transition their economies from outdated slave-based models to modern economies, integrated into our international trade networks and be viewed as equals like all our fellow friends here at the Assembled Nations. But this offer can only be granted to those that are truly willing to embrace change under ANTFAS supervision. Force should be the last resort of the ANTFAS. for those governments that truly embrace tyranny and anti-human practices without a drop of guilt. But most importantly, for those that betray our trust and think they can exploit our good intentions without consequence. I hope that this idea of a multifaceted approach by the ANTFAS to ending slavery shall be considered and to spring more ideas to mind. I believe that with enough effort and dedication by all of us here we can really right the wrongs of the past and present and potentially help millions from a life of unjust eternal servitude. On the topic of @Florentia, actions such as a naval blockade as proposed or any further militaristic approaches would be unneeded and unnecessary. As one of Florentia’s closest neighbours, Esonice would be well equipped to handle and push the Florentians in the right direction as West Alharu’s most developed economy and power.”

OOC: Communist Volta - Who recognizes it?
Esonice replied to Kolhar's topic in OOC Planning & Discussion
From the 1860s to the 1880s Esonice would likely not really care about what was happening in Mesothalassa as Esonice, and would avoid the topic to not agitate and give fuel to the remaining communists and socialists in the serene kingdom. After the 1880s, it depends when the canal was constructed. If yes, Esonice would slowly start recognising the socialist regime as the true government of Volta and try to cosy up to them. If no, Esonice would not recognise the socialist government and continue its absolute zero tolerance policy for communist and fascist sympathies to avoid destabilising itself for unnecessary reasons. After the creation of the constitutional monarchy after the short civil war in the 1920s, it would still depend if the canal was constructed or not. The new government would either continue the policy of acting friendly towards Volta or denying its existence. After the Thalassan war in the 1940s and the creation of the modern state of Esonice, same reasons. But in modern day now, as we discussed before on the wurldbuilding channel on discord Esonice would definitely recognise Volta's socialist government and deny the existence of the Voltan government in-exile and investing into Volta in exchange of guaranteed and free canal access. -
Date - 7th of May 1990 To - Mayor of O'polis NCR @Orioni, City Council of Intreimore @Iverica, City Council of Protiva @Cashar From - Maimedo city council Saiseyo (greetings) from the city of Maimedo to the fellow capital cities of O’polis, Intreimore and Protiva! With the globe becoming ever more interconnected through complex alliances, economic ties and trade, it's important that people across the wurld come to an understanding of one another. This is why Maimedo has come up with a renewed and modernised concept of “sister cities”! What are sister cities - Sister cities, also known as town twinning is a concept that has existed for a few centuries with certain communities establishing mutual relations with each other from foreign lands. The modernised idea for the concept of sister cities is for two geographically and politically distinct localities to exchange something called “twinning charters” or “sister charters” which would formally establish agreements and relations among towns. Those agreements would encompass areas surrounding matters such as travel and education, forming business links, and promotion of cultural and commercial ties. The proposal - As to set an example for the rest of the wurld to follow. The city of Maimedo proposes that all four cities establish this new type of relationship amongst themselves. The proposal holds that - 1. Educational partnership and the development of teaching programmes. 2. Student exchange program. Students of each city are given increased opportunities to study in the schools of each city. 3. Cultural exchange programs. Opportunities to be exposed and immersed to the different cultures that come from our cities. 4. Tourism program including reduced travel fees. 5. Increased commercial ties in areas of trade, business, finance and investment. We believe that these proposals for the foundation of our close relationships will mutually benefit everyone involved. Criticism and change is welcomed of course. And do not feel like these proposals are permanent and unchangeable, cities can always agree to modify and/or add on their agreements at a later date if so desired, including ending agreements. We hope to see a response from other city officials soon! Signed, by the representatives of the Maimedo city council.
