DAS KAISERREICH KANNEX

Guten Tag, und herzlich willkommen in Kannex! We are a strongly democratic nation with His Majesty Kaiser Franz of the House of Niemza as our glorious Emperor. House Niemza has ruled the country since nearly its independence two and a half centuries ago, under the great Kaiser Johann.

Since the 1968 Revolution overthrew the military junta, our Empire has been a democratic parliamentary system. Our legislative body is the National Congress, and its members are elected by the people. Two of our major parties are the ruling, center-right Liberale Partei and the center-left Demokratische Partei. The current Chancellor is the Honorable Hans Kreutzer. The Foreign Minister (Aussenminister) is Jurgen Reina.

Diplomatic immunity is granted on different levels, depending on diplomatic rank.

Our history is located here.

Note that this form is OOC, and that the current year, in terms of IC reference for Kannex, is C.E. 2000.

Your Embassy Thread: Andulan Embassy Project

Foreign relations since 1850, then. The ruler of Kannex then was Empress Marianne.

We may have friendly relations, as long as the sovereignty of Kannex over her land, air, and waters is respected.

As the Empire allows only monogamy, Andulan travelers and expatriates in Kannex are informed that only one person, per individual, of the opposite sex may be designated the spouse for purposes of welfare, social security, etc. However, exceptions will be made for Andulan diplomatic staff.


Tela of Silena is accepted as the Ambassador of the Andulan Union to the Empire of Kannex, pending confirmation.

We'll be allies, if Kannex's application to the DU ever goes through.

Foreign relations since 1968, as Kannex was strongly anticommunist during the military dictatorship.

The Kannexan diaspora in Syrixia no doubt plays a role in fostering trade and business links between Syrixia and Kannex.


Sino Nur'Qihomu (Mr.? Ms.?) is accepted as the Ambassador from the Most Serene Republic of Syrixia to the Empire of Kannex.

Capital: Slokovburg.

How Your Government Is Supposed to Work: A sortitionist democracy.

How Your Government Actually Works: Surprisingly effectively - you'd think putting random individuals in office would cause more problems than it does.

Honest Foreign Policy Attitude Towards Kannex: At present, the SSRS has a neutral stance towards Kannex, but it is our hope that through the establishment of this embassy our two peoples will grow closer and both of our nations will be enriched.

Retroactively Speaking, We Have Established Foreign Relations Since: Relatively recently, within the past ten to twenty years.

Our History Together: Relatively little given how recently our diplomatic relations started.

Important Names That Kannexans Show Know (i.e. head of state, government): SSRS (the nation's name in its native Slokovian), The Federal Council (the group of officials who run Slokobafia from the federal level.

Ambassador To Kannex: Gala Kanani Vasilyev

Security Details: No more than five security guards, all armed with nonlethal weapons like stun batons or firearms loaded with rubber bullets, if possible.

Drugs, Alcohol, Plants? : Certain recreational drugs are legal in the SSRS, primarily cannabis: some of our ambassadorial staff are known users of this drug, but we leave it to the discretion of Kannex whether or not to provide these amenities, within the confines of their own drug laws.

Cultural Practices We Should Know About: Some of our people have a tendency to be less formal than may be appropriate in certain situations. Ambassador Vasilyev is usually on top of this particular quirk, but other members of the ambassadorial staff may not be. We apologize in advance for any embarassment or offense this may cause.

Thank you for introducing me to what sortition is.

How about 1991?

Cannabis is not legal in the Empire of Kannex, unfortunately. The Aussenministerium would like to offer some Kannexan beer in compensation, for the ambassadorial staff's enjoyment. After a few glasses, Kannexan beer has a similar effect to cannabis. Not that any of our Ministry's officials would know. We heard it from the Home Ministry.

Ok. Can The United States of New Sekai have a relationship since 1756 because my nation exist since 1658.

Can it be both because I done with most embassy applications?

Oh ok, what is the limit of security?

 

[Kannex]

Alright, relations from 1756.

Remember that an ambassador lives full-time in the host country and represents his or her nation there. The ambassador must lead the diplomatic legation.

I would say fifteen guards is the maximum; even that's a lot.

[Ceretis]

National Names: Kingdom Republic of Ceretis / Ceretis

Capital: Distroct of Sion / Sion

How Your Government Is Supposed to Work:
The national level government passes laws that create a cohesive unifying base for the country, most power is held at oblast (state) level with varied but similar laws on most subjects. The national government is a check and balance Executive (operations) / Congress (bicameral federal legislature) / Judiciary (Legal clarification.) This is overseen by the Czar (Tsar/Tzar) who signs bills into law or vetoes/line-item vetoes the legislation. The Czar is also the head of the Assembly of Oblast Governors. There is an additional check/balance for the Czar, but that matter is handled internally through the royal family. There are provisions allowing for the population to enact (temporary) suspension of the Czar's executive power requiring a 3/4 vote of the populace or congress. Another provision allows for complete sovereignty of the Czar by 2/3 vote of the population or 3/4 vote of congress.

A fair tax is collected by the national government and distributed back down to the oblast level after the federal portion is removed.

How Your Government Actually Works:
The national government generally only passes and clarifies universally accepted/major/required laws allowing for local level flexibility. They also help mediate disputes between the oblasts, run national level operations, national level projects, and coordinate/oversee certain oblast level programs. The oblast governments generally handle the day to day internal operation of the nation using the light framework of the national congress and is overseen by the Czar. Certain oblast operations are coordinated nationally and operated locally allowing cohesion and improved operation. The national government handles unifying the internal structure of the nation but mostly handles the external affairs of the nation including diplomacy, trade, transportation, military, etc.

The Czar's powers are usually not restricted or increased by popular vote. Only once in national history has the Czar's power been curtailed by popular vote and twice nearly restricted. (One vote failed, one vote ended when the reigning Czar conceded to the request of the people.)
However full sovereignty has occurred more often, including the reign of Czar Joshua 'the Just', but usually in times of national need/disaster, elected governmental corruption, and war.

Honest Foreign Policy Attitude Towards Kannex:
Kannex is quite interesting, and we look forward to working more with your government.

Retroactively Speaking, We Have Established Foreign Relations Since:
As far as I'd see it:
The mid 1500s during your colonial era with trade in the colonies, and political interraction with your parent nation.
Your War for independence saw the first political interraction between our two nations

Our History Together:
My opinion:
As previously mentioned, we had interraction with your parent nation, and trade with you in your colonial era. At the point of independence we started formal political relations and our military observers were present.
We have been and probably still are allies.
(We may or may not have secretly put significant pressure on your slave markets. *clears throat* Sorry about that.)
It's possible we were present for your civil war at the very least with military observers and possibly civilian aid organizations. (We tend to observe war for academic and historic purposes.)Possible assistance if we were allied, especially against slavers.
Trade partners.
Travel / tourism.

[New Aquilia]

National Names: Constitutional Monarchy of New Aquilia

Capital: Babylon

How Your Government Is Supposed to Work: Constitutional Monarchical Federal Democracy

How Your Government Actually Works: Elected government handles lawmaking with the only cog in the wheel is the ability of the King to Veto bills before or after getting both houses approval. Ambassadorial positions are taken by the Peerage, as their role in the constitution has weakened since the reform of an elected Senate.

Honest Foreign Policy Attitude Towards Kannex: Friendly as both nations share the monarchical system and have certain aspects in common.

Retroactively Speaking, We Have Established Foreign Relations Since: 1854

Our History Together: Original history was frosty, with trade being the only positive as mutual imperialism cooled relations till 1886,when Kannexian forces saved the crews of 3 Aquilian vessels from attack by pirate forces. Since then trade and diplomacy have been warm.
