I won't be able to be as active, only at certain points and only for 30 minutes. I'm not going to be able to be online for the coming weekend(s). I will still try and participate as much as I can.
Kenny, Nix, and Dallas poured over their issues and solutions. One such issue was dealing with international relation. The Aquarian government, in the five years it's exsisted, has had little interaction with other nations, besides the SK. As they reviewed the maps of the world, the best start would be the nearby princely state of Mehrsaba, due to the rulers not suppressing humans. Kenny was unsure, but was overruled by the power duo Dallas and Nix. Kenny wasn't angry, but he certainly wasn't taking the blame if this plan fails. The meeting with the SK delegate was already set up. Kenny penned the letter, by choice, while Nix and Dallas worked together creating what the letter was attempting to accomplish. In the end, they agreed on sending a non-violence pact and an offer to set up trade routes. Dallas, of course, insisted the letter was sent by boat to show off the Aquarians navy power. The mayor, Seth Reynolds, was forced to accompany the fleet and meet with diplomats (which he was NOT happy about) if Mehrsaba accepted the offer.
This telegram has been sent out from the unofficial capital of Aquarious. I am Dallas Fiton, the General of the Aquarions. I wish to meet in person, January 6th, for a diplomatic meeting involving a discussion about trade routes, aid for my economy, and of course, a discussion about the Great Human Alliance. I, personally, don't agree with everything you have put forth, but my people- and my wife- are pushing me to at least take it into consideration. I also wish to present an interesting opportunity. Let's just put it this way, I can aid you with your technology problems, but I expect something in return.
Sincerely, Dallas Finton
*Second letter, sent along side the first*
Dear Agnaclus,
I know my insufferable husband is sending you a telegram, and I am begging you to accept his offer. Our people are poor, and are thinking about rebelling without outside influence. If another country tries to stage a coup here, say Antenland, they would easily succeed. I have a feeling that would be against your current goals... and the Great Human Alliance. If we just get some financial aid, our people will settle down- and hopefully prevent Antenland from gaining an advantage against us. Our people are itching for war. We will pledge an alliance with you, against any country or power, if you help us get out of this death spiral. Please brother, I am BEGGING you.
Government:Democratic (Inoffensive Centrist Democracy). There are four government positions to acheive: mayor(like congress, but headed by the mayor of the capital), the President, the Vice (Similar to the President in power, but deal in different areas of the government), and the General, which is the true leader of the country (the Vice and President are advisors to the General). Elections are held every 2 years for Mayor, 4 years for President, 4 years for Vice, and 6 years for General. Yes, they vote on who the General is. Currently, in the capital, the Mayor is Seth Reynolds, a corrupt figure that will do nearly anything for money. The President is Kenny Miles, who was always involved in government for his father, Maxon Miles, was the previous General, and Kenny hopes to rise to that position one day. Dallas Fiton, the current General, was just elected last week, and has yet to prove himself, and he can be a ruthless man at times. The Vice, who actually has the same amount of power as the President, is Nix Fiton, the wife of Dallas.
Species:Human
Culture: Enjoys war, but doesn't rush into any problem or solution without looking at all other options first, and choosing the best. The most popular... music... is rock. Literally. They bang rocks together rhythmically for "music". Agriculture is, despite hating the countryside, one of the most popular past-times, and is considered a sport. Environmental experimentation is... accepted widely. They are known for cautious/passive aggression, and for attempting to build ties with stronger nations. There is freedom of religion as well, and people are allowed to worship anything they choose. Cultural view of other countries is influenced partially from The Kingdom just across the sea. Ulgyrikan food also frequents many people's home.
Territory Claims: Basically, They don't like cities, and they don't like the country. Suburban life is for them. Just enough space to have privacy but to not be alone. The population of 40 million is comfortable with their lives. Their empire maybe limited in space but that doesn't stop the industrial revolution starting within it's borders. The country, just this year, has vowed to expand it's borders. One way or another.
Economy: Economy is one of the biggest problems here. It's stable, but one screw up will cause everything to crash and burn. They need a war to pick the economy up to it's feet again. They are preparing for a country to make just too much noise... And then they will strike. The Aquarians are aiming to ally or make amends with the strongest nations in their world just to gain an upper hand, and of course back up when things go to crap. Ulgyrikan trade will help boost the economy of the Aquarians, and is an overall advantage.
Technology: In this day and age, their tech is slightly advanced, if only a few months. Their tech basically consists of faster ships, planes that don't blow up extremely easily, and weapons that are "safer to handle". Scientists invest most of their time in advancing weapons and technology, while getting distracted here and there with health issues. The Kingdom has asked for some help developing better ships and other technology, which the Aquarian government decided to go along with.
Army:Who says that every 4 out of 50 people join the military means small? Not when whole families join and are trained together to make better tactical decisions. All be it, some people will die for their family, so that's sometimes a problem. Otherwise, its a great set up. Don't underestimate their power, or death will come. It takes roughly two months to mobilize, unless motivated heavily. The army consisting of 4 million soldiers is ready for war, and are itching for the chance to fire off their polished rifles. Some of the weapons are shipped out to The Kingdom, along with ammunition and other assets.
Navy:The navy is massive for it's time, and it was mostly used for transport recently, but they are all still equipped to fight. They are itching to fire some rounds off. The ships are kept in tip top working order, and always are shining under the sun. Warships(Battleships): 20 Transporters:60 Escorts:20 Convoys: 50 Make-Shift Carriers: 10 Suicide-Bomber Ships:2 Torpedo Boats: 18 Trade Ships (Government funded merchants): 40 Total:220
Air Force: Despite the huge navy, the Aquarians have a decent supply of planes, both in reserve and in commission, but not excessive- or in the best working order. Most Pilot's use the kamikaze attack technique. Planes are in constant need of repairs as well. They are currently getting taught how to fire the guns on the plane and not just ram the opponent's plane.

The first General of the Democratic States of Aquarian
The Aquarian's first General was Maxon Miles, and he made the country into what we have today. First, he eliminated the monarchy that the Aquarians, called Faerdom, once were. He assumed control and drifted toward democracy, which he succed in and changed the name of the country. He came up with how the government is run, except for the Vice, which was added after the renaissance and is in control of mostly the tech portion of government. Miles only led one war, which was against the nationalist country Meirbrough Empire. He successfully took over and annexed their government, seizing the land for the Aquarians. Since then, only two provinces have been added due to other countries invading the small nation, Cryptopia, near them. Miles claimed the lands were entitled to the Aquarian government and the natives that started the monarchy of Faerdom (Aquarian). Cryptopia had broken off from Faerdom due to unfair taxation and a harsh limit on political and civil rights. Due to this, Maxon Miles claimed the two provinces again, and is just THAT much stronger. Maxon died in office, during the last week of his second term, leaving a legacy that none have broken so far. The current General, Dallas, is determined to surpass Maxon's achievements. The Aquarians used to be part of the SK, but broke off,into the kingdom of Faerdom, along with Cryptopia, which broke off from Faerdom as well. They were anexed and the Aquarians assumed control. Chaos reigned for 19 years.
Open Border Act
(Excerpt from the Fre'dom Papers; Section 2, Paragraph 4) "After, or during, war time if any refugee, human or not, may be welcome into the country if they haven't sought it's destruction. Even a diplomat and/or king (or inventor) is allowed to stay within our borders as long as they hold their weight." (Excerpt from the Fre'dom Papers; Section 5, Paragraph 1) "Outside of war time, our borders open to anyone, human or not, as long as they don't have a criminal record (except if it's rebelling against a tyrant/dictator or suppress) and they have no intention of doing any harm to our citizens. We welcome all races and treat them all fairly, but the bulk (90%) of our population is human. We can't stand human suppressors, but make a few exceptions if they have decent rights."
