NATIONSTATES WORLD FAIR
DECEMBER 2015


Hail and welcome, friend!


The Kingdom of Alexandria
bids you welcome to our fair corner of this great Convention, so wonderfully hosted by the esteemed Greater Dienstad. As Sovereign, second King of House Ravenclaw and Prince of the Crownlands, please allow Us to be the first to welcome you to our slice of Alexandrian culture, intrigue and politics as part of these fantastic proceedings

As you may be aware, this is the first World Fair that Alexandria has elected to attend. We hope this will set the standard and bar for our future participation, and will allow Alexandria to strife to greater heights while engaged in a new international effort to improve NationStates-wide diplomacy and cultural cooperation via modern, less controversial methods in-game.

Alexandria was founded in early 2014 as a city within the 'Great Cities of Osiris' by my father, Joshua Ravenclaw; then Pharaoh of the Osiris Fraternal Order. Later in that year, in April 2014, Alexandria became a city state. Gradually, as attitudes within the community shifted, we then slowly became a Kingdom. By July, a new region had been created and by September, a new constitution utilising a unique mix of Greek and Egyptian culture took root.

That was not the end however and change took Alexandria in early 2015 as we replaced our Greek and Egyptian hybrid theme with a new, Medieval Feudal theme, based on a unique, built to purpose map as cultivated by our then Lord Privy Seal and Cartographer, British Grand Pacific. Alexandria now boasts an almost unique meritocracy within NationStates, with a fresh outlook and style designed to reward hardworking Subjects of the Crown, a bicameral legislative system which has split priorities and areas of influence and a robust yet fresh system designed to measure influence and provide mercantile services based on on-site facilities as funded by Alexandria's own community.

Alexandria resides on a vBulletin 4 forum, owned by our original founder; it is a heavily modified and custom built board designed with Alexandria's needs in mind. With the help of Hileville, Severisen and Joshua Bluteisen (aka Ikand), plus with custom graphics provided by Aelitia and British Grand Pacific, Alexandria has an environment open to innovation, with a flexibility that makes it a perfect environment to start your journey.

We hope that you will enjoy your time here with us. May your roads be clear, and may the wind guide you ever to greatness.

Signed:

His Sovereign Grace, James I of House Ravenclaw
Sovereign of Alexandria, First of His Name, Second of His Line.

Joshua Ravenclaw, Emeritus Sovereign of Alexandria reads the above letter penned by his son and adds in with a tired smile:

What my SON forgot to mention was that we're offering some shiny badges, awards and medals to the lucky people who have posted the most in our booth!

Firstly, if you Sign Our Guestbook, then you can take home the Alexandria Cross, our signet for the World Fair.

Secondly, if you manage to out post anyone else in the House Ravenclaw Verses Everyone Else thread, you'll be awarded the Ravencrest Signet, bearing the shield of Lord Ravenclaw himself, to take home and mount on your wall.

If you fancy showing off your Medieval Knowledge of all things A to Z, and manage to out post all the others, you can take home the Wings of Ravenfeather as proof of your superior knowledge!

Finally, if you want to win the title of Laureate of Alexandria, as well as the ability to decide Alexandria's regional flag for a week, enter the Alexandrian Storytime Competition and take home a fancy medal, designed by former Minister of Culture, Lennart Raybrandt! Up to two Runners up will be able to decide the Flag and Pre-title of the Delegate and the Founder respectively for a week.

Alexandria has something for everyone, this World Fair. Please enjoy our offerings to this wonderful event and have a lovely time!

After seeing how much of a hit our "Everyone verses House Ravenclaw" game was, we've decided to open another:

"Eliminate the Nobles!"

The Sigil of Alexander will be awarded to the top three posters of this game. With a special award for the person who manages to eliminate the most Nobles.
