Ruler of the World thread

[Thor Damar]

A communique to the request of the esteemed potentate of the mighty realm of Ross (Ross Ice Self) from the Supreme and awe-inspiring Taoiseach of the Rus-Celtic Union (RUC).


My fellow ruler and mighty puppet of Her most gracious Chicken,

May I be the first to welcome the expansion of your dominion and may I hail your courage in developing such barren and yet fruitful land. In the eyes of myself and the newly formed traders guild of the RUC we see nothing but benefits in The Nasat making the Antarctic his own. Indeed, we would be more than happy to offer the assistance of our fine engineers and scientists in your endeavors and wish you nothing but success.

I look forward to greater co-operation (and fulfilling treaties) between our great peoples.


May the Earth and the winds bless your every effort,

Thor Damar
By Grace of Provence Premier leader of our august Union.

 

[Deranged Nasat]

Greetings in Friendship and Siblinghood to the Supreme and awe-inspiring Taoiseach of the Rus-Celtic Union (RUC), from His Insectile Supremeness, the Lord Archon Deranged Nasat of the Nasat Realm of Ross.


My fellow ruler,

With the oversight of the most blessed and just Miss Chicken, my proud nation offers thanks and appreciation to the realm of the RUC. We are thankful for the wisdom of your visionary leader in matters of increased commercial and diplomatic contact between our two great countries. In honour of your generous offer of assistance in the Development of Antarctica, I propose a formal alliance and express a desire to open talks on trade.

Additional Proposal the First: A portion of my annual harvests of fish and krill are offered in exchange for equal weights in grain and fruits.

Additional Proposal the Second:

I refer you to the learned words of this researcher:

"Many people believe that Antarctica is a place of unlimited resource wealth. But the harsh climate, short work season, and thick ice make the recovery of these resources very difficult. The economic value of a resource is determined by the current market value of the resource, the cost of moving the resource to where it is needed, and the cost of moving equipment and workers to recover the resource".

I offer a large percentage (subject to negotiation) of the profits gained on the international markets from sale of my vast deposits of mineral wealth, in exchange for the services of pre-existing companies, machines and technology in your realm. I invite them to contribute to the workforce here, under the authority of my King Penguin proxies, so combining my penguin's considerable manpower and acute local knowledge with your existing industrial utilities and machinery.

Additional Proposal the Third: A share of my plentiful supplies of formally buried oil and coal is offered in exchange for supplies of batteries, generator cores. These are more immediate basic heat-and power-producing systems than the coal-oil, more useful to my various outposts and such.

Additional Proposal the Fourth: Free holidays for yourself at my Galapagos Resorts in exchange for clothing, blankets, and other fabric-based items not available in number here.

In the name of Miss Chicken, I hope you will accept these offers (feel free to negotiate slightly different terms).

An appropriately three-legged salute to you,

Deranged Nasat.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Scotland's gone!!

You can always take control of another country and then invade Scotland and try to take it by force.

WHF; After looking at this map I would like to petition Miss Chicken to include those portions of Alaska east of the 141st meridian. It seems offensive to have this piece of America dangling like that. It seems to want to thrust itself into the Hecate Strait.

Your wish is granted.

Deranged Nasat; With all respect to Her Tripedalness Miss Chicken, I hesistantly submit that since the population is vastly below 50 million, I may as well claim the entire Antarctic continent and get it over with (in addition to my Ross Ice Shelf holding and the generously bestowed Galapagos). If this request is granted, Miss Chicken can expect the entire Antarctic region to be developed along the lines of the current realm. While the Nasat understands that Miss Chicken may be hesitant to bestow such a large territory to one who already has substantial claims, I humbly submit: no-one else wants it. It's just a lump of ice.

You may have it all. Maybe you could take some of the displaced Japanese in as workers?

I have sent the icebreaker Aurora Australis from its base in Hobart with the supplies you requested. Keep an eye out for it. It is big and bright orange.

However, as the plan is to make less work for me I don't think you should be asking me for any more supplies. Instead you should be constructing trade agreements with other rulers. May I suggest you try ElimParra who rules the Australian Mainland?

 

[Miss Chicken]

I'm too lazy to read all the thread but if no one has claimed the DOM-TOM, I claim them.

You can have them except for Tahiti which I have given away to the Mapmaker.

If I have overlooked anyone's request let me know.

 

[Deranged Nasat]

You may have it all. Maybe you could take some of the displaced Japanese in as workers?

Many thanks to the just and generous Miss Chicken.

I will indeed take in many of the displaced Japanese.

I have sent the icebreaker Aurora Australis from its base in Hobart with the supplies you requested. Keep an eye out for it. It is big and bright orange.

Many, many thanks. I shall load it up with coal, freshly caught fish and ice for drinking water on its return to you.

However, as the plan is to make less work for me I don't think you should be asking me for any more supplies. Instead you should be constructing trade agreements with other rulers.

Done and done, Your Noble Rulership.

From this day forward, the Nasat will ask no favours, only offer further praise and tribute.

You may expect my first report soon.

 

[Skywalker]

Your Majesty Miss Chicken, I thank you for your gracious decision to grant me the land which I requested, in addition to the paradise of Tahiti. You are too kind.

However, I hope it would not be considered too forward if I asked Her Majesty for one further boon. The Central European Confederation is decidedly lacking in a seaport, and so I humbly request that I also be granted dominion over the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy to give the CEC a corridor to the Adriatic Sea. If I am fortunate enough to be granted this further reward, then in the harbor of Trieste I shall build a three-legged Colossus greater than that of even ancient Rhodes to welcome travelers and warn away those who may wish to harm the CEC.

The Confederation also extends its apologies to Archon Deranged Nasat for the undeserved oversight. Our mapping technology has been updated and the mistake has been corrected. As Miss Chicken's chief cartographer, I have also added all other claims since my last map, including the proposed extensions to the CEC as well as Thor Damar's proposed (but as yet unconfirmed) expansions into mainland Russia, which, after extensive research by the Confederation's best demographers, would bring the population of the great Russo-Celtic Union to 41.6 million.

If I've missed any claims, I apologize. Just point out the mistake and I shall rectify it as soon as I'm able.

Hail to the Great Archon of the incomparable Realm of Ross from the most Supreme and Awesome Taoisearch of the Bountiful RUC.


Fellow sovereign,

On behalf of my great Union I am more than pleased to accept your treaty and the proposals therein. I would also like to offer you access to our fine cultural centers and events along with and firm commitment to fair and equal trade. Of course I hope to establish such firm links with the rest of my most glorious leaders to the eternal betterment of all.

I must but apologise for my unfortunate brevity in this matter as I have much work to do.

An appropriately whimsical salute unto you,

Thor Damar

 

[Deranged Nasat]

The Confederation also extends its apologies to Archon Deranged Nasat for the undeserved oversight. Our mapping technology has been updated and the mistake has been corrected.

The Confederation's admirably swift response to the oversight is acknowledged, and looked upon favourably by the Archon. Rest assured, diplomatic relations will not be negatively affected. The Confederation remains a valued neighbour and a vital part of the international community. All respect and glory to Skywalker.

 

[MANT!]

Um...sorry dude. I already have dibs on all of Northern California. When you said Central Valley, I thought you meant center of the state. Those three counties are right across the top of the state. I'll let you have all the counties below the red line on this map. I think that's more than fair, since I called it first.

Hey I LIVE on that dividing line...


Just to be fair...

Since no one has called it..

I'd like Brazil... I will have a three legged cat added to the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer overlooking Rio..


And we will launch our formidible military against any and all who wish to stop the party atmosphere under our domain...

yeah, good luck with that. my ICBMs will fry your ass and my strategic bombers will sink your navy like tub toys!

and i'll finish it off by strafing copacabana beach with my A-10s!

Now Now..lets not be so hasty..

 

[Captain Ice]

Can I have the states of Florida (including the Florida Keys), Georgia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Virginia please?

We would construct a huge plantation style house on one of the Keys exclusively for Miss Chicken and banish all persons not required to serve her from the island. The State of Florida would also make it's state animal the cat, and it would be illegal to harm a cat in any way, including euthanasia except in cases where the cat is suffering. Turner Field would also change it's name to Miss Chicken Memorial Stadium and erect a statue of Miss Chicken beside the scoreboard.

 

[Crusher Disciple]

Crusher Disciple, would you like to have half of northern Germany in exchange for Finland, so that you'd rule full 50 million people? If the answer is no, I'll try to take Finland by force. And Miss Chicken, I promise you'll be worshipped as a goddess in my regions of the world.

Hmm...that depends- is there anything cool in that half of northern Germany?

 

[Miss Chicken]

Can I have the states of Florida (including the Florida Keys), Georgia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Virginia please?

You may have them all.

How much of the US remains unclaimed? Can anyone tell me?

Hmm, In the interests of territorial integrity I think that perhaps I should claim as much of European Russia as I can (including that other federal city of Moscow). Is that a good idea?

You will have to work out what your population is at the moment and let me know if the inclusion of Moscow takes you over the 50 million make.

 

[Skywalker]

Current map of the world below. I missed Alabama and Mississippi at first, but added them on. The image should refresh eventually.



There's still quite a bit of the US left, surprisingly. I figured it all would have been gobbled up by now.

I actually worked out some proposed territories for Thor Gamar to add in Russia, which would put his population up to 41 million. It's all in my previous post.

 

[Miss Chicken]

So it is. I just reread the thread.

I manage to skip it because when I got home I found that my LOST season 6 DVDs from Amazon had just arrived, and as I hadn't watched any of the episodes on TV (because I hate commercial TV) I was very anxious to see the first episode so I only gave this thread a quick read.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I'd be happy to spread my super-scientific-yet-ecologically-friendly dominion over the rest of New England. I'll take Lost island, too, if we can figure out where it is this week.

 

[captcalhoun]

i hereby declare my union of states to be named the Itchy Trigger Finger Federation.

The ITFF is planning to make a proposal of an alliance with Brazil so we can holiday on Copacabana Beach and watch the hot chicks play volleyball.

We're currently in the process of removing the Presidents from Mount Rushmore and are preparing it's replacement.

we're also planning to make our capital city Bozeman in Montana and in lieu of a statue of Zephram Cochrane, will instead erect a statue of Miss Chicken.

all municipalities will have a statue of Miss Chicken and all 'Main Street' roads will be renamed Miss Chicken Avenue.

we also intend to negotiate with the beneficent ruler of eastern Canada for safe passage of vessels transiting the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes for access to the Atlantic Ocean.

 

[Miss Chicken]

You get both your wishes though I don't think I will be vacationing on the Lost island any time soon.

Would you like to have Berlin?

Your Alliance proposal intrigues us..however, what do we get in return?

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Dear Miss Chicken,
If no one has put in a request for Lawngeyeland, may i have it please? I'd like to rename it Lost Island and bulldoze every frigging strip mall, pizza joint, nail salon and Dollar Store. Then I'd repopulate it with animals that were originally indigenous to the area along with the flora that was here.
I humbly ask this of thee.
Your servant,
The Yeoman
