We will immediatly begin to assembled Embassies wherever we are welcome, and allow other nations to do the same.

As well as that, we wish to trade with all neighbouring nations in the hope that this will foster good relations.

Thank you for your time.

OOC: Well, I haven't quite got the religious numbers worked out yet. But I'm certain that the main religions among the people will be Catholic and Protestant.

Very interesting. Well, the Pope will obviously be proselytizing at the earliest opportunity in Budo.

Emperor-Priest Jorzo Mafil praises Budo's opening its borders to the rest of the Middle East. He invites its leader to discuss matters on trade and diplomacy.

"I hereby respectfully request, in the name of God, to send missionaries of the Protestant Church to your land to convert those who do not fear God."

"Of course, should you honorably grant us this will, we should ask that no other missionaries from other... affiliations be permitted, or our work shall be for naught."

Yuhannon Ibrahim had recently returned to his job following a paid sabbatical that the Emperor had allowed him to take, following his near certain death escaping Scythirian airspace during the negotiations that followed the First War of Succession. Now, he was reading a report on international events to His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor Melchior.

"...and the nation of Budo has opened its doors and greeted the world. We naturally sent them our greetings in the name of Your Imperial Majesty."

"Good," the Emperor replied, "anything else?"

"Well," Mr. Ibrahim started, "Budo has stated that they would allow missionaries into their nation. The Prussians, I believe have already sent missionaries from their Primas' church."

"Ah, then we must send missionaries too."

"Yes, sire."

"Inform Patriarch Photios that their is a new nation where he will be permitted to establish a mission and invite the local people to learn."

"Yes, sire."

"Is there any other news?"

"No, sire."

"Then, you may leave, if you wish."

Yuhannon Ibrahim left the Emperor's working chambers, and hurried to inform the Patriarch of the new oportunity that had been granted to the Church of God.


OOC:
The Patriarchate of Antioch would like to establish a mission of the Orthodox Christian Church in Budo. The mission will be ministered by monks, who will conduct the liturgies for any Budoans (is that the right term?) who are interested. If the mission grows substantially, than a proper parish and diocese structure will be implemented, and married clergy will be ordained for the parishes, as is the norm for Orthodoxy.

Sardinia and Corsica formally welcomes the nation of Budo to the world stage. We too are a newly formed nation within the Middle East. So in that respect we know the hardships of joining the world stage in what is, by all respects, the oldest region in the world. We that said, as both our nations are new, we find it only fitting that we should try for great diplomatic relations so that the both of us can grow strong and gain the respect of the elder nations.
