Prime Ministerial Tour of Atlantian Oceania (All)

Posted: May 28 2006, 06:02 AM

With recent increase in Bazalonia's involvement both in regional and international affairs on a larger scale, The Bazalonian Prime Minister. Stephen Hawdon was thinking out loud to himself. "I think it's about time I actually visited some of our neighbours" and Aide heard him and said "You mean, the Pikes? You have never got on well with the Pikes."

"No, I mean, Bazalonia's neighbours... the other nations in Atlantian Oceania."

"Oh... you know I could see if I can arrange something for you."

"Oh, really? That would be great."

"Um... what about SAAS nations?

"Yes, them too, maybe we could ease some tensions, or something."

... Later that day the following message was sent to all nations in Atlantian Oceania ...

On the day arranged the Bazalonian Diplomatic Plane, BAZ-001, over Nedalia and up into Krytenia. Omboard was the Bazalonian Prime Minister, Stephen Hawdon and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Richard Menszae, as well as a number of Sundry aides and security.

"This is BAZ-001, requesting clearance to land, over."

"Bravo Alpha Zulu 001, this is Tower Control. Please follow the indicated flight path and land on runway two-seven at your earliest convenience. A delegation is waiting at Gate 101 at your earliest convenience. Over."

To call Gate 101 a "gate" was, strictly speaking, a misnomer. It was, in effect, a VIP parking bay for aeroplanes; on the ground near the large white box painted onto the tarmac was a limousine bearing the Bazalonian tricolour and the Sky Blue Glory, and several other vehicles.

Waiting in the main car was Andrew Firman, sipping a glass of iced mineral water and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Bazalonians. "I love my job," he thought as he took another sip, "you meet pretty much everyone."

....

In Krytenia, the plane landed with no hassles following the directions of Tower Control, stopping at gate 101. The door of the plane was unlocked and slid open, the stairs in the plane where extended down. A few members of the Bazalonian Federal Police, Protection Unit exited the plane, assessed the situation then went back in.

The Prime Minister, Stephen Hawdon, went down followed closely behind the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Richard Menszae. The BFP protection unit exited the plane, some went to liase with the Krytenian security, others milled around the Prime Minister, looking for all manner of security threats.

To: Richard Menszae, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Bazalonia
From: Harry Livingston, Liverpool England Senior Advisor on Chacoran External Affairs

Dear Sir,
Warmest greetings. Prime Minister Thomas Douglas would be most pleased to welcome Mr. Stephen Hawdon to Chacor personally; however as he is also the Prime Minister of Liverpool England (trust us, it's complicated), he is currently tending to matters before the Supreme Court of The Heartland. However, Deputy Prime Minister James Martin-Gibson will be happy to receive Mr. Hawdon.

I shall also be on hand, as will Yuri Noble, the incoming Chacoran Foreign Affairs Minister.

Yours,
Harry Livingston

The Prime Minister, Stephen Hawdon, gladly accepts the meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister James Martin-Gibson. While also wishing to pass on a regret to the Prime Minister Thomas Douglas, that he would be unable to meet him on this occasion but hopes that there might be a time in the near future where we could meet. Attached to this message are a list of dates that the Prime Minister of Bazalonia is able to visit. Please indicate which one will suit you the most and I will be waiting for a response.

Thank you.

OOC: I'm going to try and keep these visits fairly short ( in terms of post count and time), but please note to do this the Krytenia viisit will probably be longer than any other not for any other reason but for establishing an IC pattern that can be used. and to help with identifing who's up next and how long it is until I get around to you I will put a little update at each of posts, updating the status of the tour... adding more people as they come.. etc...

The Krytenian security entourage ushered the Bazalonian delegation into the various cars, Messrs. Menszae and Hawton getting the "top table" - the Minister's limo.

"Good morning, gentlemen," he beamed, "I've read the itinerary, all the relevant security is in place. Now, there is a certain lady who's anxious to meet you..."

President Domasca.... he had seen her on the various international news channels that the government of Bazalonia subscribes to, and was very eager to meet her.

This was after all the first foreign visit of the Prime Minister, and it was to an SAAS nation, the prime minister chuckled to himself at this thought before he replied to the comment made by the Minister of Regional and Foreign Affairs.

"And I'm looking forward to meeting her." he said ...

the rest of the drive was fairly quiet as the prime minister tried to calm the nerves in his stomach and tried to remember what it was that he was meant to say...

BZZZZZ!

President Domasca sat at a roundish table surrounded by sofas at the front of her office. "Yes," she enquired, "what is it now?"

A voice spluttered over the intercom. "The Bazalonian Prime Minister is here to see you."

"Excellent. Show him in."

The Prime Minister went in alone to the presidents office, despite the protection details objections.

"If anything's going to happen it's not going to happen there, and anyway, it'll give us a chance to have a less formal and a more friendly conversation." the Prime Minister had told the BFP who where hanging around the car.

"Thank you for letting me visit, one things for sure Krytenia sure doesn't muck around. Just as soon as I sent the communique it seemed I got a reply."

Said Stephen shaking the presidents hand with a smile.

"Well, I'm going to admit, I have an ulterior motive for bringing you here. As you know, there's been...changes in Starblaydia. And I don't trust this Viannor woman. Not even a little bit. And, to be honest, I think we need to show our distrust.

Mr Hawdon, the United Provinces wish to leave the SAAS and join the Strategic Defence League."

"Hey will you look at that?"

"What?"

"The PM of Bazalonia wants to come visit us."

"Well let's not deny him the oppurtunity, say yes."
