In Miklagrad attending the conference

As I was walking around at the building dedicated to hold the conference, I saw Sassanov the representative of the Rostok empire. He is part of the war faction in the Rostok government and is also the admiral of the southern fleet which concentrates on supressing the Karamanites. The fact that the Rostok empire sent such an important person to attend the conference shows that they are sincere and are willing to negotiate. It also shows that the Rostok empire are determined to take some concessions from the Karaman empire.

"Your exellency, the conference is starting and we have to go." said my subordinate.

I nodded to him and started heading towards the conference. As I was walking to the conference, I saw the representatives of the Lombardians and the Kildarians. It looks like the Lombardians are starting to regain their pride. We still can't discount them from the great powers, losing against the Florentines is a minor setback and they are still one of the strongest countries in the world. There is no representative of the western empire. Their internal disputes are seriously affecting their international status.

After getting seated at the table with the representatives of the four great powers with the Karamanite representative. The representative of the Rostok empire started to speak.

"The Karamanites have opressed and massacred the Georgians for too long. We have an responsibility to take land back from the heathens and bring them back to the civillized world. I propose to form an interference conference to resuce our brother and sisters in faith."

The Rostok empire have certainly started off with a strong card but I think they are too forceful. While I was thinking about what to say next, the Kildarian representative shot me a meaningful glance. I think he wants me to support him in opposing the Rostok empire, well he will be in for an unpleasent suprise.

"We are a sovereign state which means we have the right to act as we please within our borders. We have not engaged in any massacres and have only killed people who have commited crimes worthy of the death penalty." said the representative of the Karaman empire.

I and the other representatives looked at him meaningfully. There was tons of evidence proving that the Karamanites have conducted an ethnich cleansing which has kililed hundreds of thousands of people which is half of the Georgians in the world. They certainly can't defend their case using this.

"I support the Rostok empire in forming an international conference to liberate our brothers and sisters of the same faith. Is there anyone opposing this conference." I said.

The Kildarian representative looked suprised as he probably thought that we will oppose the Rostok empire from expanding any further.

"We can't divide a sovereign country and take land from them even though they are heathens. Religion has no place in the government, does it." said the Kildarian representative. The Kildarians have been responsible for annexing many countries and have been responsible for the 90% of wars in the past century some way or the other.

He certainly hit a sore spot of all monarchist countries. The struggle between imperial and theocratic power has been going on for many centuries and has still not ceased. It is in all countries benefits to supress religious power.

"As the leader of the civillized world, our country has an obligation to liberate the uncivillized people of the Karaman empire." he said while hitting the table.

I looked at him exasperated. The Rostok empire dosen't have a good diplomatic history, to put it mildly. They always make farce's and mistakes as their country believes in the power of fist. This has been further spolighted by the fact that they sent a militarist and an impatient man at that.

"Who made you the leader of the civillized world. The civillized world dosen't put emphasis on the military power, that itself is barbaric and uncivillized." said the Kildarian representative angrily.

The Lombardian representative looks so happy and satisfied seeing the two countries at odds with each other. I will have to stop this.

"We have to calm down, we don't want to have a duel on our hands do we." I said to calm down the situation.

The Rostok representative must have realized that he is getting out of line. After this, they started discussing on what should be done with the Karaman empire with me and the Rostok representative dividing up the country while the Kildarians and the Karamanite representative are trying to stop us. The Lombardian representative looks at us satisfied that we are at odds with each other.

After the meeting was over, the Kildarian representative walked out of the meeting with a worried look on his face. They will probably try to something in the meantime but it will probably not work.
