The NS Mega Fun Poll • French Toast🍞 vs Waffles 🧇! Breakfast Battle Season 2! The rookie🍞 is taking on the standing champ🧇! VOTE NOW! THE FATE OF BREAKFAST DEPENDS ON IT! Ajidiali and Gustatopolis |
Good morning, good afternoon or good evening Krillin leaders, depending on the time zone. I, Nicolaus Maritsinokvick Vagsh Enlirent Drumin Parontski Putianak (better known to all as Nicolaus, the Tenth), born on September 8, 2005 and current Emperor of Drussia, announce in this public forum my abdication as monarch of Drussia and the passing of that title for my older sister, Princess Nicole, who will assume the throne with the imperial name of Nicole II. This news may be shocking and quite unexpected for those present on this forum, so I will be brief in explaining the reasons for my sudden abdication. You see, everyone, I have been living a lie for many years of my short life, I have been deceiving everyone about some behavioral deficiencies that I may have. These deficiencies, which I will not expose because this is not the place to air my personal complaints, are the reason I can't continue to be the ruler of Drussia from this day forward. I apologize for all the inconvenience I caused in this forum while I was in power over the last two years. Now that I abdicate my duties, I will live outside of Drussia, to better understand myself and be able to live with this behavioral flaw that I have without a burden on my conscience, if I am wrong and I am making a gross historical error, I will be the one who will suffer the consequences of that, I will not live with my family's money, I will not live nearby and will not cause any inconvenience to any of you or to the future monarch of my country. The decision I make today is the most important of my life and I will live with it until the end of my days, I will not be able to go back and today marks the end of my political life. To my worthy allies, Relena I of I must clarify that my engagement to Miss Eleonora Anya Drankinova is officially canceled (and consequently our marriage as well). I please ask my sister and anyone who can, that Miss Eleonora may have a fiancé as worthy of marrying her as I should have been, but unfortunately thanks to my sick nature, I was not. Of course, I have some regret about ceasing to be leader of my country and abandoning it forever, but what I feel now gave me the confidence to make this decision. In my last act as monarch, I revoke my first act as monarch and return to male preference for succession to the throne of Drussia, that is, this means that my sister's heir will no longer be my niece Valentina, but my nephew Edward (currently four years old), I do this because I now understand that a woman assuming a throne is not a gift, but rather a burden, as a female monarch must fulfill the role of representing the country and carrying her successor in her womb at the same time (not necessarily in the same moment, obviously). Thank God my sister already gave birth to a male heir. With the way the world is today, it borders on cowardly selfishness to abdicate the throne and pass it on to my sister. Perhaps that was the case, but someone else gathered irrefutable evidence of my personal flaws and was willing to use the help of the liberals and communists to destabilize my country. Well, I better have some dignity and reveal this myself and not be forcibly kicked out of power after being defeated in a game of political chess by my enemies. In moments like this, I must act like a man and not like a mouse, although perhaps someone would interpret me as acting like a mouse by abdicating the throne now, I have spent the last few days and weeks reflecting on this dilemma: would I be a coward to abdicating and throwing everything on my sister's shoulders or clinging to the throne despite knowing my very serious flaws? Anyway...I hope my sister is better than me and can fix our monarchy on the ropes, Relena I and Maxim III, you can hate me, but don't let Drussia fall into darkness. I will miss, not just you two, but all the leaders of this forum, even those who don't talk much, my God, even the minister of foreign affairs of the Ejoland regime I will miss, today I confess that even though she is from a country that is an enemy of a historical ally of mine, I have no dislike for her as a person. Good luck to Krillin in the coming years and I pray (even though I may no longer have that right) that the situation in the world improves and peace one day arrives, although my hope for a better world today is a little low, I will live the rest of my days with myself and my life choices. Goodbye, Krillin leaders. - Nicolaus X, Emperor of Drussia (for the last time) OOC: If you want to better understand what is happening, you can see this roleplay here. It's not complete yet, but it will be soon. Warning: Mature content (not explicit) and harsh language. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- February 22, 2024 Nicolaus wakes up and gets ready to go to work once again. Teodozja, an elderly woman who is Nicolaus's secretary (even though she is practically a receptionist): Good morning, your majesty. Some time later... Amalya Lidoshka: Good morning, secretary. I need to speak to the emperor, is it urgent, is he busy? And then Amalya enters and sees Nicolaus with his head down and thinking about his life. "I know Nicolaus, your situation is difficult. But you don't deserve to suffer being emperor of Drussia. In life we are not sure of anything, Nicolaus. We don't know tomorrow, the world is ending and you're going to throw your happiness away to live by the rules of a God that no one knows if really exists? Nicolaus, know...as long as our relationship lasts, I will strive to make our worst day happier than your best day in your life right now. *and he starts to tear up and his voice chokes*... I'll do my best to make it worth it... If you really love me, one day you'll give up everything, even if it's 100 years from now, and I'll be alive by then, even if I have to put an Elon Musk chip in my brain. We'll think about it later, just think about whether you're going to quit or not. Maybe we wait for the situation in the world to improve. If it doesn't get better... we await the final judgment together, we're both going to hell anyway, that's if your God exists. If we are going to live together without receiving a single penny from Drussian royalty, that's fine, we can work to support ourselves, it's even more worthy than living sustained by them. Thanks Nicolaus...it was a wonderful weekend. Goodbye or see you later, it's up to you." Nicolaus, almost crying: Sigh...oh sorry, Mrs. Lidoshka, I'll talk to you right away. And she explains the situation to him... Amalya: So I sent this photo along with the audio of your conversation to the Empress of Qassadia. If she didn't know before, she knows now. Completely cornered, Nicolaus has a flashback: "Amalya: I always thought you were overrated and weak. Your luck is that your enemies are stupid, because if you had real opposition, Drussia would already be in greater chaos than when you took power." Amalya: I can create this chaos myself if I need to, Nicolaus. Neither of us wants this, so work with me. And then he calls Wilhelmina and Nicole to tell them about the abdication. And Wilhelmina leaves the office furious. Wilhelmina: There you are, you bitch! And then the scene changes to Hans recording the conversation between Nicolaus and James and him taking a photo of the two of them kissing. Amalya: It was easy to create a stupid false conspiracy to deceive the Some minutes later... James: Good morning, love. And the two hug. Wilhelmina: Nicolaus, don't let yourself be carried away by young love, my son, the throne is more important than anything! This is your life! Don't throw everything away because of this...worm... And the two stare at each other romantically for two minutes, until they are interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing. James: Oh, is someone calling you? And when he sees who it is, he realizes that it is his idol, Empress Relena I of Qassadia. Nicolaus: Relena I? And everyone in the room says in unison: What?! And then he's talking to Relena I on the phone... James, whispering: Does she want to talk to me? And she laughs heartily and the scene switches to Nicolaus on the phone. Nicolaus: Yes, indeed, me revealing the truth would destroy the credibility of the monarchy as a political system, I see that now. It's just that I...I'm tired of lying to the people...yeah...I know I'm not just a human being, I'm a monarch...I'll do as you say, not because I'm your vassal or something like that, but because I really agree with your reasoning. Thank you for giving this warning before it was too late. Bye your imperial majesty, thank you for everything. Oh, and I'm your fan...I've wanted to say that for a long time. Bye. And after explaining to the others what Relena said, he holds a ministerial meeting announcing the end of his government for "intimate personal reasons" and begins his abdication speech to the nation. And now the speech begins. Official Drussia State TV Announcer: Subjects of The Holy Empire of Drussia, it is with regret that I announce an official speech from your imperial Nicolaus X...*and he cries before his sound is cut off* Nicolaus, with a serious expression and wearing black clothes: Subjects of Drussia, good evening. I know it's not like me to give speeches during business hours, but what I have to say today is important and urgent. There are moments in a man's life when he has to make difficult decisions, times when he needs to examine his conscience and reflect a lot on how he should act and think about tomorrow. Of course, our tomorrow belongs to God, but we can't leave everything in his hands, or we wouldn't take action in difficult times because we don't understand the subtle signs he gives us, sometimes we only know if we made the right choice or not after we face the consequences of that choice, and that's where I am now. And I think you will understand why I made my decision with the phrase I'm going to say at this moment, which was said in the past by a former president of the United States of America..."You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time". Yes, you cay think that, I, your leader, have deceived you. I deceived you about my true nature, I deceived you about true self...I hid from you and others, even the current heads of state of our historical allies, an important secret about myself. I will not reveal what this secret is, it is not something that the population of Drussia and Krillin need to know, all you need to know is that I deceived you and that this fatal secret is what prevents me from governing this nation that I love so much as her representative before God and Christ, a role that cannot be assumed by anyone, not even if that person is someone born into a wealthy family. What matters is that this makes me a person who is morally incapable and unworthy of being emperor of Drussia, and I am now tired of hiding this from everyone, I am tired of living a facade, and I don't want to continue living like this. Do not despair people of Drussia, I will leave you in the hands of my sister, Princess Nicole. That from tonight, tomorrow at the latest, will be Empress Nicole II of Drussia. You will learn more about my personal fate from the press. I thank the people of Drussia for their compassion and generosity towards me. Even after I recognized the former Little Drussia as an independent country and after recognizing the North Dmiscry regime as an independent country, you continued by my side and contributed to keeping our nation standing. In other historical moments, this would place me in your eyes as a weak and mediocre ruler but you didn't see me like that...*and his eyes start to water*...thank you very much...your support gave me strength to lead while I still could...oh God...ouch...*and his voice breaks*...camera, cut. *and the speech ends and the camera cut* After finishing his speech, he cries in James' arms. James: Calm down Nicolaus, we'll get through this. Let's focus on the two of us now, it's over. And then James goes to the bank. Bank teller: Good afternoon James, good to know you're alive. And then James comes back from the bank. James: Nicolaus, we have 58 thousand rubles. A few hours later, at the airport, James goes to talk to Nicole while Nicolaus is putting their bags on the plane. James: I'm grateful that Amalya Lidoshka made it possible for Nicolaus and me to be together. But I want her to pay for conspiring against Nicolaus. And the plane door closes after Nicolaus enters... Nicolaus: Goodbye Drussia. *and he starts crying, and then he is hugged by James* And the plane takes off Important notice: Now it is no longer public information revealed by Nicolaus himself that he is a "sodomite" (that is, homosexual, I have no problems with homosexuals for me to refer to them by this historically offensive term). Consider this an OOC revelation to humanize the character, now the inner reasons for the young emperor's abdication are unknown. And I noticed that I changed the text to fit this OOC reservation, written after the original text. |
Damn, I wonder what this "behavioral flaw" is that is so serious that it makes you give up power like a coward. Are you really that stupid? Are you really that juvenile? well it's a shame, you had potential. Haha, good luck to your sister, hope she's not as weak as you. - Kevin McCarphy, Prime Minister of Gestonia (shamelessly taking advantage of this situation to break politically with the now former monarch of Drussia) ------------------------- Damn...I'm not going to say I'm stunned because I'm not. It was obvious that you were not well, Nicolaus X. Well, good luck in your new life and I celebrate the end of a fascist government. If your sister is less fascist than you, if not a classical conservative (which would be the minimum in a global civilization committed to the values that defeated the Holocaust), that's already a positive thing for Drussia. Who is Kevin McCarphy to call someone weak? he was almost overthrown in a motion of no confidence that received votes from half of Gestonia's senators. He just didn't fall because Minerva's vote is his own, if this world is fair, your opportunistic stance will make you be defeated in this year's legislative election, you disgraced opportunistic fox. - John Kentucky, leader of the opposition in Gestonia |
It's a shame things end like this. Your government was good, despite the problematic positions. Comparing it to Donald Trump or Javier Milei (or Relena I and Maxim III if we don't want to go too far), you were even a good ruler, despite arbitrarily arresting gays (although you only exiled the "less libertine and immoral" and limited the cruelest punishments to alleged pederasts), being against female reproductive rights and being a convinced transphobe. Well, I hope life away from white nationalist Christianity (which is not Christianity, just a reactionary and fascist faction of it) makes you a more open-minded person, have a good life. - Alexander Odibliano Corteza, President of Gustatopolis |
The shamelessness that a person has to have to call themselves leftist and say that this teenager's government was good has to be great... anyway, I don't dislike you, Nicolaus X, but your ideology (at least for what your ideology was before of you abandoning everything for a "forbidden love"). Good luck, I wonder how Relena I and Maxim III will react to this situation? Will the Empress of Qassadia resort to her usual coldness? - Valkyr Straindorf, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Dmiscry |
OOC: Sorry for taking so long to respond. Have had to work hard IRL for some time. "A Gestonian politician that was very active in this forum until the recent past"... you mean Elizabeth Trussendart? She almost got Gestonia involved in South hampden´s war of aggression against I may add, that we view Gestonia as neutral towards us, and did so even when Trussendart were their Prime Minister. Trussendart pretty much destroyed our hopes of having a friendly relation with Gestonia in the foreseeable future, but we never got a reason to view them as hostile. Despite not necessarily agreeing on everything, we respect Gestonia as they respect us. If Gestonia recognized Ejorike´s claim on Ejoland, that could for us be a reason to put them in the same category as Cassadia and Drussia, which in principle are hostile toward us. We would still wish no harm to the Gestonian people, but we would no longer respect the Gestonian government as they would not respect us. This would mean a fundamental change in our stance towards Gestonia; I don´t know if Trussendart have fully considered this. As for reigniting tensions between us and Ejorike, she would not have to reignite anything. Ejorike have viewed us as a rebel faction and held a hostile stance towars us, all the time since the revolution. Just as we have stayed ready, to defend ourselves in case the Kingdom would return with an invasion force. Something King Maxim III of Ejorike have expressed an ambition to do. Our revolution was roughly one hundred years ago, which seem to be long enough for most nations to recognize our independence. The revolution was not in any way under Ejorikean law legal, but it was a popular uprising. In the chaotic situation of the revolutionary war, various revolutionary councils established local governmanets from the bottom up. The Ejolandic Communist Party proclaimed a nationvide provisoric government, which got the approval of said local governments. The provisoric government, the process to create our first constitution and the adoption of said constitution were all approved in referendums, following the revolutionary war. Our political system have developed a lot since then; we have changed our constitution entirely four times after that, approved in referendums each time. Our people also have the right to demand, and get, deciding referendums about anything, including constitutional changes. We base our legitimacy on the will of our people and its democratic decisions, rather than historical claims. -Eliana Stenberg, Ejoland´s Minister of Foreign Affairs Gustatopolis and Dmiscry |
I find your stance towards Nicolaus most commendable, comrade. He is a former enemy, who waged war against your nation. Still you take the high road, and direct your hatred towards the system and ideology he stood for, not him as a person. This is the Marxist ideal. -Eliana Stenberg, Ejoland´s Minister of Foreign Affairs |
His Majesty, King Maxim III of Ejorike, is currently on his way home from a hunting trip. He send his best wishes to her Imperial Majesty, Empress Nicole II of Drussia, and announce that he look forward to resume the diplomacy when suitable. -Count Adam Carolus Silverskiöld, Spokesman for the Royal Court of Ejorike |
Hello y'all! Hope things are good in your part of the multi-verse. I'm going strangely serious with this poll - Real Politik: Portuguese Election The winners can treat themselves to a pastel de nata. Can't be fairer than that! |
OOC: This may be nitpicking, but are you sure you did not mean "Imperial Office" and "Imperial Palace"? Imperial titles are considered a little more prestigeous than merely royal ones. |
Her imperial majesty thanks you for your words, Maxim III of Ejorike. There is indeed a reward for Rodnaevisk, Ivannov Hammen and their associates. Since Ivannov Hammen was the leader of the coup attempt, the reward for him is 4 million rubles. Konstantin Rodnaevisk was important in the hierarchy of the previous government and was the civilian leader of the coup attempt, so the reward for him is 2 million rubles. The associates most directly linked to the two have rewards of 1 million rubles each. Now the part of the idiots who broke into the palace at their command and managed to escape from prison so far have rewards of 500 thousand rubles each. The Drussian government sent photos and names of each of them to your country's intelligence sectors. Her majesty accepts your offer of a diplomatic meeting. She will adjust her schedule to be available on the scheduled meeting date. And regarding the coronation ceremony, to give time to organize everything and out of respect for the previous monarch, the ceremony will only take place in August 2024, the time when the wedding between the young monarch and his then fiancée Eleonora Anya Drankinova would take place. In fact, one of the things Her Imperial Majesty needs to do at this moment is to find a fiancé for the young lady because her father, Maxmilliam Drankinova, is demanding Her Grace to do so as quickly as possible and that this be a man as elegant and educated as the old one. In fact, the former Nicolaus X has so much admiration for his ex-fiancée that he himself made a list of noble friends who would fit the description I gave above, the empress is currently interviewing these young men (of course this is not the job of a empress, but Eleonora's father is a nagging person). - Ludmilla Verusya, Head of the Imperial Office OOC: I agree with you on this. So I already changed it here, I will chance in my other factbooks and accounts where I see it too. |
Delightful to hear, your Excellency. I have now made sure that the associates you informed us of are on the wanted list as well, and ordered that my subjects will be properly informed of the fugitives and the rewards they warrant. As much as we want people to report such criminals for the sake of honour, a bit of extra motivation does not harm. I have only ever heard positive things being said of Eleonora Anya Drankinova. As far as I know, she should be able to get a most elegant and highly educated aristocratic man. I wish her the best of luck, and commend Empress Nicole II of Drussia for her most honourable efforts in this matter. Until we hear from each other again, once again my best regards. Sincerely -King Maxim III of Ejorike |
