Montmartre, New Paristan
Recognition, consciousness, revolution.
After a brief ice age (or something), The Autonomous Communes of New Paristan once again re-emerges onto the world stage.
OOC: Don't count on anything long-term or super-involved - my attention span for this sort of thing...
Friends,
New Paristan invites concerned RDT members to an informal meeting in Montmartre to discuss our mutual interest in protecting and advancing the anti-capitalist cause. We hope that a face to face meeting will alleviate any concerns you may have about our nation, and help you to...
Foreign Minister Marius Pontmercy was just finishing some paperwork regarding New Paristan's stalled application to join the General Assembly. His phone rang.
"Oui? Ah, hello Minister [didn't see his name anywhere]." Pontmercy's eyes widen, and he scribbles the information down. "I'll get...
"There's a Marc Delphine, he was LeClerc's chief political adviser. Oddly, despite your country's socialistic nature, he's actually hiding in your main city. No doubt the Paristani authorities would be very interested in getting their hands on him." Delauney scratches an address on a piece of...
Breaking news!
We have breaking news tonight of a standoff at the Radilo embassy in Montmartre. Reports are sketchy at the moment, but it seems that Jean-Luc Delaunay, former head of the Security Police under the administration of former President General LeClerc, is hiding from Prime Minister...
The Ambassador has received another urgent communique from Prime Minister Magritte's office.
"It would be in our mutual interest for you to respond to my previous message posthaste. You will note the presence of Paristani police outside of your embassy gates. Soon, the press will get wind...
"What's to say? I was a loyal member of LeClerc's administration. I didn't particularly believe in his mad visions of wealth and power, but I was a good soldier. I followed orders. That's all. If a few union leeches paid the price for a greater New Paristan...that was all a part of doing...
ooc: lol no worries - nice save.
ic: "I think you overestimate my importance to the LeClerc regime, monsieur Ambassador. The bastard kept all of his money and his secrets very close to his chest - only three or four people knew about any of that, and they're all in hiding somewhere...I...
The Ambassador has received an urgent communique from the office of Prime Minister Magritte. It reads:
"It is my understanding that Mr. Jean-Luc Delauney is hiding in your embassy like the cornered rat he is. Please do not give him sanctuary. This man is personally responsible for the deaths...
Delauney lets out a bitter laugh that degenerates into a cough. "The madmen...they took care of LeClerc at the start of this mad revolution...dragged him out into the street and shot him to death. You obviously haven't read up on your Paristani history, Mr. Ambassador."
Mr. Delaunay gratefully accepts a drink, and shoots it down in one gulp. His face is haggard, worn, and he looks around the room shiftily.
"These bastards...these commie bastards. They want my head. I need asylum. I was just following orders, you understand? LeClerc was a madman - he...
Mr. Jean-Luc Delauney, a heavyset man in his late 50s, wearing a long coat and a hat pulled down over his eyes, arrives at the Radilo embassy in Montmartre just before closing time. He goes to the reception area (or whatever you'd have).
"Hello? Anyone? I need asylum..."
1. Name of Your Country: New Paristan
2. Location (#_:_) H-2
4. Have at least 20-40 posts and an acceptable display of roleplay activity. I think I've demonstrated that thus far.
5. Name and location of your capital. Montmartre. Plop it on the coast, somewhere near the middle.
The United Communes of New Paristan would be happy to discuss trade and cultural ties with Frescania or other likeminded bourgeois nations willing to negotiate with workers' states.
Well, we're a pretty large country of French-like origin. Going by the Helsinki map, and assuming none of the already-marked countries are no longer active, we'd like to claim 209, 210, and 211 (or just 211, if necessary). It would also be interesting to plop New Paristan in spot 300. If some...
Montmartre -
The government of Bruno Magritte continues its mad slide toward communism, and capital flight is becoming an epidemic. Top economists predict total economic collapse is imminent, despite the government's efforts to cobble together what it calls a "flexible and democratic...
ooc: let's just kill the press conference thing, since it's not going anywhere.
ic: "In a statement released today, Foreign Minister Marius Pontmercy expressed concern about potential harassment of Paristani citizens in the nation of Danzig. In a letter sent to President Unacodego, Mr...
