Lord Donnacha, Earl of Ulster, Commodore-in-Chief of the Islemen Commonwealth
[ *  *  *  * ]
Preparations for the annual Red Ball (so named as it is held in the Fall of each year) are underway in the Islemen Commonwealth as the nobles and gentlemen of the Commonwealth prepare their finery for a dazzling display of wealth. As part of these social celebrations, and to provide a networking opportunity for the various imperial, royal, and noble houses, the following invitations were dispatched to the respective adminsitrations:

To the Mercantilist Empire of Athlonia, the Greater Ferrian Empire, the Empire of Nipay, and the Empire of Calarius was sent the following invitation composed of the finest purple hand-crafted paper with gold leaf edging:


Quote:
 
Your Imperial Majesties, and Their Nobles, Gentlemen, and Ladies, are hereby invited to grace the Red Ball with Your Imperial Presences. Their Excellencies the Lords of the Isles have expressed their desire to demonstrate to their Imperial Majesties the delights of the Isle of Mide during our annual Red Ball.

The Lords of the Isles


To the Kingdoms of Sturmvolk, Noorselander, Vandalia, Kharseyyiq, Dar al Haliim, and Syleria was sent the following invitation of finest red hand-crafted paper with gold leaf edging:

The Lords of the Isles


To the other remaining Republics, Civilian and Military Governments, non-reigning Royal Houses, and Noble Houses was sent the following invitation of red paper with silver edging:

Quote:
 
Your Highnesses, Lordships, Ladies, and Gentlemen, are hereby invited to the Red Ball on the Isle of Mide to partake in a celebration of internationalism and peaceful conduct outside the current bounds of international affairs. Their Excellencies would be delighted to have You see and taste the delights of the Isle of Mide.

The Lords of the Isles


The publically acknowledged reason for opening the Red Ball to all is purportedly to reaffirm the Commonwealth's neutrality during the current hostilities breaking out over Amador. The Red Ball is also being seen as a backdoor channel for many governments currently not offically maintaining formal diplomatic links to discuss issues of mutual concern without the threat of public disapproval. It is also rumoured that the Earl of Ulster will be scouring the attendants at the Red Ball along with his nephew and Tanaiste (heir), for a suitable bride for the Tanaiste of the most economically important Earldom of the Commonwealth.

The Serene Republic of Bithynia regrettably declines the invitation by the Islemen Commonwealth. The current situation in regards to the global climate leaves little time for socializing.

The Stürmvolk Reich shall accept the invitation to Red Ball, however is unable to send any one in a senior position in our administration. The young lord Aston von Hohenfels shall attend with a small entourage of diplomats.

Although the Federal Lumecian government is unable to dispatch any upper-tier officials at this time several representatives will be dispatched to the ball in the interests of cordial relations.

La République Démocratique de Lanaudière happily accepts the invitation, and though Prime Minister Clément-Jean Vavasseuris unable to attend due to the elvish crisis, however in is stead will be Angélique-Thérèse Desnoyers, Minister of Foreign affairs. Accompanying mademoiselle Desnoyers will be a number of other prominent party members and Lanaudière celebrity socialites.

The Mercantilist Empire of Athlonia graciously accepts this invitation and senior government representatives will be attending. Unfortunately, due to pressing internal issues, Her Imperial Majesty, the Queen-Empress Haylie-Jayde cannot attend.

A delegation from the Empire of Calarius will attend in order to represent their young Emperor. Among those present will be his honorable Lord of Ivrea, Merlinus Iaroc Caledonensis, as well as his wife, and man of the Imperial army, General Ogledd Aneurin of the Western Goddodin. Many more officials from the Empire will accompany and be derived from both the military and nobility. Affluent private residents of the capital of Motre Calaria have also promised to be present. This exclusive list includes inventors, economist, and politicians of the Conventum. Organizers amongst the Empire hope to assure that this ball is a success.

The Bundesrepublik's prime minister Deszo Sveged accepts the lovely offer, but due to political reasons, and a pressing war, will not attend at this time.
