"The ceremonial nature of the office is not what is important, in this case. I am sure I do not need to stress the importance of symbols in the creation of a national narrative or mythology. We cannot incorporate royal symbols into the administrative functions of the territory without contradicting the principles of the National Falangist Programme spearheaded by Rodriguez and Trouillefou. Given that this is a leasing arrangement, I think an arrangement whereby Russian institutions are preserved in the Russian polity, but not recognized by the administrative institutions of the Union as having legal consideration is optimal. In short, you may have the County, and your Count may be a fully recognized member of the Russian court, but short of appointment to civil offices, this county or this count, or any authority, ceremonial or otherwise, would not be recognized as an official office by the Union government outside of a general recognition of the legitimacy of the Russian government, and a recognition of the right of the Russian government to organize its territory in the manner of its choosing. The Count, if he were to reside in Catalonia, would not be able to be treated as holding that office, but rather as just another citizen, like any of his peers." OOC: The Union would view him in a way similar to how modern republican governments in Europe view pretenders, such as George Friedrich, Louis Alphonse, or Karl von Habsburg.

OOC: Fair enough :) IC: "While this not entirely what his majesty had in mind" the Count stated, "it was in the understanding of the crown that concession would have to be made. Given that the Count of Barcelona shall be of his majesty's court and can, upon invitation, stay where his majesty should offer, this will be an acceptable arrangement. His majesty may have the Count of Barcelona, reside in his personal residence here in the city but given that it is a private residence, I imagine that the Union has no laws that regulate guests in private residencies. If, as I said, this is acceptable, I do not believe Russia has anything further to discuss in a preliminary matter on this subject. Does the Union have any further concerns?" |

"All states have laws about the conduct of guests within the household, Mr. Ambassador," Marcos laughed, "but as long as this Count doesn't use his position to sell narcotics or engage in insurgent activity, I can say that there will be no issue with his presence. Yes, consider the deal done. Of course, we have to talk about the details. How about this? On the first of the month, I will herd a group of lawyers and politicians into Barcelona, and we can work out any kinks in this arrangement. For now, however, I am satisfied with our conduct here. Our men will stand down along your border, and halt our advances into the rest of Spain - and yours as well. I am glad that peace has prevailed this day," he said, rising from his seat. "May this be a sign of better times to come." |
