A collection of Radio broadcasts 03/06/2018 - Noremacia Radio Corporation (NRC) "We are receiving reports that the emperor has been rushed to hospital after a heart attack... Yes we can confirm, Camus Moran is being transported in secret to an undisclosed location to be put under intensive care" 05/06/2018 - Noremacia Radio Corporation (NRC) "Emperor Camus II's (EC2) conditions worsens and the international media is starting to take interest in this. Our most recent reports have the emperor on heavy doses of medicine, He appears calm and content in what may be his final few days. Around the empire, the people are holding out hope for the greatest Emperor to ever rule over Noremacia. His feats include but aren't limited to: bringing the empires economy to the forefront of the world, promoting peace and equality, massively reducing our impact on the environment, and finally putting Noremacia on the Audaxian map. He fought hard for recognition over the last year and finally only just last week we secured our place in the region and in the world." 07/06/2018 - Noremacia Radio Corporation (NRC) "10:42am, 7th of June, 2018. Emperor Camus II of house Moran died a peaceful and content death. His 65 year reign has come to an end. The public are deeply pained by the loss of such a great man. Around the nation people are stopping everything to gather on the streets and pray. Given the nations stance on religion this is a huge gesture of gratitude and sorrow for the Emperor. He was truly loved by all. He will be known henceforth as 'Camus and Great'. Some folloers are saying he got up as he died and rose up to the heavens. others say he just vanished and became one with nature. Im no religious man, but by god we thank you for this man." 08/06/2018 - Noremacia Radio Corporation (NRC) "Over the weekend a state funeral will be held for beloved Emperor Camus II who died of natural causes at the age of 87. He will long be remembered for his respect of nature, science and peace. As the Empire mourns this tragic loss, the question arrises, who will be his sucessor? After relinquishing his position as heir to the empire, the original heir and Camus' oldest son, Gaben Moran, became an emmisary to United Moreland. This leads the current position open, for the first time in Noremacian history. Claimants include sister, Hiro Tachicana, younger son, Kumori Moran, and younger twin daughters, Suzume and Tatsu. According to Noremacian law, they must be chosen within the family and within 48 hours of the cremation of the previous emperor. Time is ticking for the Moran family." In the Royal Palace 08/06/2018 Empress Odesza took the letter in her trembling hands. She struggled to keep her sorrow at bay in front of her advisors. She had temporary rule over the empire. She didnt have much to do yet it felt like everything in the world was pushing her to the floor without her husband around. She signed the piece paper and gave it back to Piro Aymas, head of administration and state affairs, hand of the emperor. Also there was vice emperor, Orion Berat, and Faraday Tien, minister of Science and technology, and close friend to the empress. Faraday took Odesza's hand and looked here in the eyes. "It's okay to not be okay. We can wait as long as you need my lady." The empress took a second to answer. Feeling the support of her friends and advisors, "No." she replied. "We must continue to keep the balance and peace in the nation. Piro, you are in full responsibility of the funeral. spare no expense." "Of course my lady." he replied, exiting the room. She looked out the window at the clear and stary night, thousands of people stopping in front of the palace gates to leave gifts and pay homage. She fearsed for the future. None of the heirs looked promising... Hiro Tachicana: Sister of the Camus, verging on insane, recluse Kumori Moran: Son of Camus and Odesza, shady, sly and cunning, always seems to get his way Suzume Moran: Daughter of Camus and Odesza, young, shy, innocent and inexperienced Tatsu Moran: Daughter of Camus and Odesza, young, shy, trained in the way of the elite samurai She sighed deeply. In the end she didn't have much say in the matter, it was a case of whoever stepped up and whoever opposed them. She looked back at Orion and Faraday. "Someone dictate this for me". Orion took out his touchpad and eyed the empress. What was said has since been turned into this letter:  OOC: IMPORTANT: Urging geographically close nations to respond to this as i need to get to know you guys better ASAP

Private Airstrip Several hours passed at the airfield. Coms in the control tower started to pick up a message. Emperor Maximus of USSDEN's jet was about to land. The streamlined flying machine bounced onto the tarmac. Orion Berat and a team of attendee's walked towards the door of the plane with smiles ready to meet the emperor. Private Airstrip On the second runway, almost at the same time, The Emperess herself was greeting Kenzie Zimmerman of Gondor. "Welcome mrs Zimmerman." She said with a bow, taking the foreigners hand and kissing is (as is Noremacian custom amongst women). "Come. We have a private car on our Maglev train for you to take into the city. I will accompany you back to my home to your accomodation for the duration of your stay. Im sure we can get to know each other a little better on the way." Walking together they reached a white futuristic looking capsule with lots of painted carbonfibre and glass. Two guards waited inside as well as several attendants waiting to take snack and drink orders. "The journey should only take 12 minutes. My son, Emperor-elect, will be waiting to greet us at the other end." Outside the Royal Palace/House of Moran Kumori Moran pulled at the tight outfit he bore, seamlessly smoothing out the wrinkles. He had slight OCD tendencies. Leaving the palace surrounded by 12 armed guards it was a mere 50 meters across the road to the maglev train stop. However in that short walk between the palace steps he was stopped by a guard as a taxi pulled up, and a big shaggy man stepped out. The guards surrounded the taxi and one of them held up an emp device, ready to disable the car if he had to. Others had their hands on their pistols, unclipped and ready to draw, unwavered by the fact there was a small dragon on the man's shoulder. |

"I've had warmer welcomes." Stated Lord Winterborn plainly. He unbuckled his belt and placed his sheathed sword ontop of the taxi. "The Noremancian diplomatic standards seem to have slipped in the last ten years." He pulled out a golden coin and displayed it, the Winterborn sigil shone proudly. "I would like to mourn the death of a friend, can you allow an old Lord that much?" |

The jet touched down on the Tarmac in a perfect three point landing, before coming to a stop halfway across. The engines were powering down when the door of the plane was opened, and out stepped a Sergeant carrying an old battle rifle with a bayonet on the tip. He saluted and stepped off the plane, letting the Emperor himself walk off the plane in his trench coat and military cap. His dress was far from standard, but more personalized. On his left chest there was an aircraft carrier silhouette with the name "Enterprise" printed on it. Above it was an F-8 with the letters "Supersonic Sally" and "My Baby" written on it. Upon his right was his rank, Major, his name, and his colors. He stepped down and put on his pointed cap, adjusting his sword harness. "Hello, sir. I am Emperor Maximus." |

Outside the Royal Palace/House of Moran A guard took the coin from the mans hand and tossed it towards Kumori. His lightning reflexes had him catch it between his forefinger and thumb. The emperor-elect's facial expression turned from sceptical to humbled. He smiled and tossed the coin back. "Stand down Jani." The lead guard, only two feet away from the man took a step back and relaxed a little. "This is Lord Winterborn of the Five Great Kingdoms." The guard seemed gobsmacked as he took a knee and bowed his head. Kumori strode slowly and elegantly towards the big scruffy man. "I believe me are yet to formally meet. Each other time you have visited i have been busy with other matters. I also would like to apologise in my guards actions. they will be sanctioned as soon as possible. My first order fo business in an expanded defence and security force." He did not bow but extended an arm as if to shake the lord's hand. "I am Emperor Kumori, First of my name. Third of my term and noble head of house Moran. Camus was my father. Ive heard great things of you my Lord." Private Airstrip Orion took a timely and humbling bow along with each of his attendees. Upon rising he smiled at Emperor Maximus. "Greeting your majesty. I am Orion Berat. Vice Emperor and minister for international affairs. I welcome you to Noremacia. I trust you enjoyed your flight? We take pride in out environment and im sure you were able to see some of the dense jungles during your flight over. Please come with me. My attendees will fetch you whatever your heart desires. Now tell me. What is it like to be an Emperor of a United Socialist States?" |

"Please, call me Comrade Emperor Maximus. I do not like being called Your Majesty." He said with a smile. The soldiers behind him walked with him at a relaxed pace, obviously surprised by the amount of jungles here. It would be fun, they both knew. "Ahh. What is it like? Well... Over glorified. For one. For another? It is actually rather nice being elected like that." |

OOC - Just a heads up Camilla isn't Han's daughter, nor is Mikhail his son. If it helps imagine that the Teutonic Union is made up of 16 small nations, each is ruled by its own royal family but the largest of the nations is Hans' nation, therefore he's also the Emperor. Princess Camilla is the ruler of one of the 15 other nations, as is Mikhail (who is in fact older than Hans )"The journey was short" Hans said matter of factly. "Its one I believe in the future I should make more often and I hope that you won't be a stranger coming the other way." the Emperor said, "Its my firm hope that we can turn this sad time into one that we can build upon to ensure a great future for both our nations. If you wouldn't mind once the funeral is over, and with your approval, I'd like to discuss ways we can co-operate. Clearly if formal diplomacy is a little awkward considering the reason for the invitation here then I will gladly pay my respects, observe your rituals and raise a toast to the deceased, leaving with the hope that at a later date we can have that meeting." "My Lord" Camilla interupted, "Perhaps now would be a good time to learn more about our hosts rather than plan talks." She turned to Orion, "I'd hate to embarrass myself, or more importantly my Emperor, and even greater a worry than that is offending your hospitality, is there anything we should be aware of for funeral rituals here?" while an Odinist herself, she'd even been granted the title Defender of the Faith by the Head Gothi [1], she knew little of other religions. [1] Think Odinist Pope |

OOC: AAH JUST REALISED ORION IS IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE. APOLOGIES "Ahh yes." Said Orion, turning and walking slowly towards the airstrips Mordachi[1] station. "Democracy. Where would we be without it. Im sure you'd find our political system quite... unique. Come. The train ride is about 12 minutes. I will accompany you to the Royal palace." OOC: Sorry... but cheers for the heads up
Orion had just returned from accompanying other guests to the Royal house and was rather tired of repeating himself to each new guest. However this princess seemed more knowledgable. Smarter. Sweeter. He smiled. "Your hesitance is much appreciated. No our Funeral ceremonies are quite easy to get a grasp on. Because of the Emperors prestige, his casket will be marched through the city. Silence and bows are expected. Then briefly his body will be thrown into the eternal flame, during which a celebratory parade will ensue. Colours, confetti. no expense is too much for a man of such callibre. His ashes will be caught in a glass urn, which will blacken in the fire. After his ashes are collected in the urn, a private party of family only will take the black glass urn to the sacred pool of the moon and cleanse it in its waters. Here his ashes will be poured into a designated spot in the Royal Avenue, and a giant redwood seed will be placed with it, as well as the hole being filled over. Here his tree will grow with the other passed emperors of Noremacia." Orion stopped short of breath and laughed. Apologies for the long explanation my lady." He turned to the Emperor. In terms of national diplomacy i am going to introduce you to both the soon to be Emperor Kumori and Piro aymas whom i hear have plenty to discuss with you." they reached the maglev pod and Orion offered both a hand and a smile to the princess Camilla. "Shall we?" OOC: Oops yea youre also not getting a limo anymore but the train [1] Largest Privatey owned transportation company, more than 50% owned by the Tien family Edited by Noremacia, Jun 16 2016, 06:43 AM.

"Ahh, thank you Orion. So, care to tell me a bit about the history of your interesting nation?" He asked with a smile as he walked towards the train station with his guards. |

Orion extended a hand in which an attendant places a translucent sheet of glass with curved edges and a small black bar across the top. The screen lit up as he touched it. He then handed it to the emperor. "All basic information about my our peaceful nation can be found on here on our Nation Factbook page of the government netsite. In terms of a quick historical rundown? The Empire of Noremacia as it is today was founded in 1444 after the Drimic tribespeople managed to negotiate a truce with several neighboring tribes. They built teh greatest city of all time. admittedly it took them several hundreds of years, but Noremacia, being untouched by the outside world, was able to prosper in an internal way. There had been minor conflicts but never war. Officially, Noremacia has 500 years of peace under its belt." They neared the maglev car waiting for them. "Ah." Orion exclaimed with a smile. "Shall we?" |

Rux grabbed Kumori's forearm in a spartan hand shake and pulled the smaller man towards him and gave a slap on the back (a common greeting in Northdale) which knocked the wind out of the young emperor, he picked up his sword and Dracaan began to hover in the air next to Rux's head. "Now I know your father didn't drink that whiskey I gave him twenty years ago, now we can enjoy it." |
