*If one were to enter Markev, the Capital of Haense, they would see a large billboard positioned just inside of the City gates. Etched into the very top of the wood is the name of the board, painted in gold* Bounty and Banishment Board Created at the behest of His Excellency, Lyov II Brackish, Lord Justicar of Haense *Below the engraving and off to the side, a note would read the following* "This board is the property of the Judiciary of Haense. Any person or creature who has a warrant out for their arrest, or who is currently banished from the Kingdom of Haense, shall have their name and description posted here. Only authorized personnel may post to this board." Current Banishments Father Marcus Siegmund Corbish

Effective immediately, any denizen of the Kingdom of Haense who carries out an unauthorized raid against another foreign entity, shall be arrested and brought to trial before the Lord Justicar.

These appointed forces shall enforce the newly published Haensetian Criminal Code, and are granted the power to deal out punishments prescribed in the HCC.

"Da, you tell him!" Says ghost Vasili, patting Fiske on his ghost shoulder

CONTESTANT COCKSHEET: Your name: (Vanir_) Lyov II Brackish The name of your ćock: Arik Ćock’s origin: Haense Ćock’s origin story: Arik--named after my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grand Uncle-- is a PROUD and NOBLE ćock. He saved my own life on my first day setting foot upon the shores of Atlas. This mighty bird; this truly noble beast, did slay four (4) orcish raiders in one fell swoop, saving me from a truly gruesome death, as an Orcish entree. What makes your ćock stand out from other ćocks?: Arik stands tall and proud, with a dull yellow beak. He feathers have been dyed a deep blue. I agree that Ser Paul Ryan and the Markevian Cockfighting Tournament Organization™ are not responsible for any injuries me or my ćock may sustain during this event: [X]

Lyov sat huddled by the fire, eagerly awaiting for the ice to melt from his nether-regions. Staring wistfully into his drink, he could still hear Ser Paul's "Hooplah!" ringing in here ears. Truly, an awe-inspiring war cry. While he had almost died several times, he knew that this was just the beginning of a series of near-death experiences with his Hansetic friends.

Vasili greets Paul jovially, slapping him on the back and handing him a mug of Carrion Black. Somwhere in Markev, Lyov II would shed a tear for what could truly be his greatest failure.

"They're still around!" A young fisherman would exclaim, somewhat in disbelief, upon hearing of this ancient family. Tapping on the side of his mug with a heavily ringed finger, he stares wistfully into his mug as memories flood through him.

An old Duke, long since dead, would nod approvingly from the seven skies. He had many fond memories of his Raevir cousins.

"Nah." Says Lyov

The Dominion of Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "This session of Parliament is now concluded." Joseph Kennedy, the House of Commons speaker said as he rose from his seat at the top of the dais. A cacophony of wooden chairs sliding backwards filled the House as MPs rose to take their leave. Prime Minister Trudeau followed the gaggle of politicians out of the House into the hall and made his own hasty exit, towards a separate section of Parliament Hill. It was late in the evening, yet his duties for the day were far from over; he still had a Cabinet meeting to attend to, which typically lasted for several hours. -=+=- -=+=- FOREIGN AFFAIRS "Are we missing anyone?" Trudeau asked, shutting the door behind him after entering the meeting room. 14 Ministers sat around a large mahogany table. "No, Mr. Prime Minister. Everyone is in attendance." "Excellent." Trudeau took his seat at the head of the table, laying down several manila folders onto the table. "Let's get down to business, then, shall we?" The room was quickly alive with the sound of shuffling papers, pens clicking, and brief cases opening. The first Minister to speak was the Minister of Foreign Affairs Stephan Dion, his french accent very thick. "We have several things to discuss, the first being a missive sent from the United Kingdom. Their Prime Minister wishes to establish a free-trade zone between our two countries." Trudeau nodded, looking over the sheet of paper the Minister had handed him. "I see nothing wrong with it. Send word back that we will are willing to work together with them and draft up a suitable agreement." "Next," Dion continued, "we have received word from the Swiss ambassador. Switzerland is seeking to create a 'European' Peace Organization, its goal being to keep the peace in Europe, and eventually the World." "Very ambitious." Trudeau mumbles, scratching at his neck. "For some time, Canada has had very little involvement in international peacekeeping operations. I've been wanting for Canada to get more involved for years now, however. Send word to the Swiss emissary that we are very interested in joining this organization, but wish to know more about would be required of us and what the goals of this group are." "Annnd finally... the Chinese." The Minister pauses, clearing his throat, "Are attempting to go to Mars. In what seems to be an effort to improve relations, they have offered up space for two Canadian astronauts to join their landing party." The Prime Minister chuckles, running a hand back through his hair. "And I thought the Swiss were ambitious, christ. Send work back and say that we accept their offer, and wish to know what they desire of us in return." "That's all for foreign affairs, Mr. Prime Minister." Dion says, opening the floor for the next person. "Alright, good. I want diplomats sent out to the US, South Korea, China, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Brazil and Portugal. With the Canadian dollar being 25% lower than the US Dollar, this would be an excellent opportunity for them to look at further trade with out country." DEFENSE The Minister of Defense, Harjit Sajjan assembled his paperwork on the table in front of himself before speaking. "The United States and Poland are continuing to urge us to up our military spending so that it at least meets the minimum NATO requirements. We are currently spending less than 1% of our GDP on our Military, whilst the recommended is 2%. Now, I know they've been recommending this for years, but I truly believe that now is the time to do so. If we don't bump up our spending, our forces could be entering a new 'dark age'. There is a lot of new technology that we should be taking advantage of." After a wave of murmuring made it's way through the group, Trudeau spoke. "I see where you're coming from, and I agree with you. As unfortunate as it is, in order to be a major player in World Politics, you have to have a sizable military. Luckily, the legalization and taxation of Marijuana is already starting to pay off majorly [[MODERATOR]]. We will definitely spend a large portion of this tax revenue on Military. I want renewed research to be on the Air Force, the Navy, and Infantry equipment.; i want our scientists working as much as they can on finding a more modern Fighter, more cost-effective yet respectable Cruisers and Aircraft carriers [[7, 8, and 5 pages, respectively]], and modernized rifles and arctic gear. I also want more money spent on military propaganda; stress how respectable our Military is, how we use it on peace keeping missions, et cetera [[MOD PLEASE]]." As the Cabinet members wrote or typed all of this down, Trudeau leaned back in his char. "Who's next?"

((be gone fiend...)

Application Country Selected: The Dominion of Canada Nation Leader: Justin Trudeau Demonstrate Understanding of Nation (Bio/Facts/Info): Canada currently has the 14th largest economy in the world, and boasts friendly ties with almost every nation on the globe. Despite having only a standing army of ~68,000 soldiers (excluding Air and Navy), it is both extremely well trained and very well equipped. Since the country's creation in 1867, Canada has continually played a role in world politics. Canadian forces were designated their own beach on D-Day, the only other allied nation besides the US and the UK to receive such a responsibility. Canada and their brothers across the border (the US) have the largest trading relationship in the world, and share the world's largest military-free border.

do you want to join the Decterum and bring an end to house carrion with me?

Feel free to. Vasili was killed defending a Gold Corpsman who was under attack. But, let's not make this post a flame war. We're discussing this in our chat to see what times everyone is good for.
