Excellencies: The Socialist Monarchy of Zahumlje wishes to congradjulate Pierre Paradis on his accesion to t he Crown.
We are bringing as gifts a beautiful Lippezaner Stallion, his name is Snijeg. He is from the best bloodlines in the Royal Stables and is very well trained. We use a similar horse for State Occasions, not only is he trained to present the neccesary dignified appearance, but he can help defend his rider from unanticipated attacks, by leaping out of the range of danger, or by kicking an assailant. The Royal Sadler has made beautiful tack with the Royal Arms of Paradis and Paradizia in both red leather and black leather.
We are as well bringing a peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon is for hunting purposes, and as is known, this is a bird reserved for the use of Royalty only. This one was captured young in the mountains above Stjepanagrad, a place fine peregrine falcons have been found throughout history. We are sending a trained Falconer to train someone local in careing for this bird, and a man who can train someone local in the specialized care of the Royal horse. Both men speak the local language. We are sending a two creels of fine smoked Zahumljani trout,two cases of fine Zahumljani marashino rakija and two cases of the best Zahumljani rose rakija. We hope these gifts meet with your approval.
We look forward to this occasion with great anticipation.
Best Wishes

The Prime Minister will be undable to attend due to previously scheduled affairs however he sends his best affections for the new Monarch.

There will be on the other side, an assisting Montfortslavian delegation, headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Religious Affairs.

The Tsar will endow Prince Pierre with many great gifts. Russia has it's finest craftsmen working on elaborate Matroyskas, Russian distilleries will make the finest Vodkas, and a special gift will also be presented. Russia's most skilled goldsmith is fashioning a beautiful sceptre for Pierre Paradis, as a symbol of friendship between our royal houses. The Russian Imperial Orchestra has also expressed its desire to perform for the newly crowned Prince and the Pope in Rome.

Sultan(Shogun) Oda Nobunaga congatulate Pierre Paradis with his accesion to the Crown.In the name of Oda clan we send precious gift-Legendary samurai sword named "Narasawa".The sword is the soul of the warrior you have to keep it at any price.
We will send Oda Nobunaga`s son and heir Oda Nobutada to the coronation.

This shall be a grand affair.I have talked with the Pope, and we are working together.I hope Thracia and the Admin. of the forums will allow me to post pictures of the Vatican and the Imperial Crown Jewels.

We would like to announce that Thracia today officially recognized the new regime in Paradiszia.

Our government sends its sincerest congratulations to His Highness Prince Pierre Paradis XI. Our wishes will also be conveyed by our foriegn minister who will attend the coronation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

As for Paradiszia's request, this nation can certainly post Coronation pictures by using the IMG button when composing a posting.

Yeah but I have things saved on my computer, and it won't let me load them.

ooc:
Yes, because we are using a "free-of-charge" forum members, the upload capacity is very limited.

When you compose a post, you see, right below the emoticon icons, a section named "File Attachments". You can attach an image to your message using that section. However, the image cannot be bigger than 48 mb. (but that's more than enough, isn't it?)

I have never tried to upload images myself, but I will check the controls tosee if there is a special command that would allow more uploads for every member.

Unfortuntely, the coronation must be postponed for a week (OOC: im going on holiday :)) But when I get back, we shall prepare a magnificent display! See you all in a week.

Sorry, got one more chance to say something: I am trying to create a web page of some kind to house this display!

Oh excellent, that way we will not trouble the admin. with allowing pictures! Very clever.

In my coronation I will be presented with the orbs of Paradiszia, France, Italy, Spain, England, Russia, and the Vatican. This is not to show dominance over these lands (other than Paradiszia and the Vatican) and is just to show how the House of Paradis is related (or was) to the Royals of those nations (but not the Pope). Is that okay?

I have ordered new Imperial Regalia to be made.
The crown will be cast in pure gold, and adorned with a white diamond for purity, a yellow diamond for for the dawn of a new day, a purple diamond for Imperial Might, and a blue diamond for justice and bravery. On the top will be a crucifix with a red diamond for the blood of Christ.

I am back, and the time for the coronation is near! I have started to collect material for the occasion. I have been asked by the delegate and leader of Prussia, Lord Charles Stefano of Vivalutsk, to obtain permission for him to attend as well.

Well, in your abcence -Vatican City-, who claims Pontifficial power over the NS Roman Catholic Church has caused an upset.

How so? Is he now part of the Balkans?

No, -Vatican City- is not a member of this region, and we recognize Pope Christian VI as the sole and undisputed sovereign over the Vatican.

However, if the Paradiszian Prince prefers, for theological reasons, to be crowned by the Pope of -Vatican City-, Thracia is inclined to let -Vatican City- into the Balkans for two days or so, just to conduct the coronation. Right after the coronation, the rival Pope will have to depart from this region.

We know that this would be a frustrating and disappointing development for Pope Christian VI. But we hope he understands that if this happened it would happen because Paradiszia wanted it to happen this way.

Very well, if Paradiszia wishes it.

It's you who will crown me though, -Vatican City- will just preside over it all and then give me his blessing to rule. So you're still involved!

I have a question.
When the coronation will go trough?I have to be prepared.

As soon as Paradiszia, -Vatican City- and myself are ready (I.e no idea)

President Karonovic and Prime Minister Ramiz will attend the coronation. Emperor Paradis XI will be presented with a simple, yet beautiful silver cask. The cask is designed to hold a small amount of soil from Paradiszia. This is to remind the Emperor of the common people that work the land and provide the source of his wealth and power. It will also enable the Emperor to always have a small part of Paradiszia with him when he travels. We hope that this gift is acceptable. We are looking forward to the coronation.

As soon as you inform the region of the date of the Coronation, -Vatican City- will be invited to join the Balkans temporarily.

The Thracian government would like to express its pleasure that all disputes or potential disputes pertaining to the Coronation have been resolved so quickly and so constructively.

The Coronation of Pierre Paradis XI as Holy Imperial Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of Paradiszia. Shall take place at St.Peter's Basilica in Rome. On the date of Friday, April 30th, YOL 2004.

Thank you for the gift honorable officials of Kosovo. Paradiszia has many aspects of Socialism (NOTCommunism) in our economy (NOTgovernment). It's like RL Sweden.

Thank you for the answer.My delegate will be prepared for the coronation.

I have invited the Pope of -Vatican City- to visit our region and conduct the coronation, but, so far, I have received no response.

Here is the link for the Coronation Ceremony:

My Coronation @ St.Peter's Basilica

My official title is

"His Majesty Holy Imperial Emperor Pierre Lawrence Sebastian Paradis XI of all Paradiszia and it's Territories by the Grace of God through the One Holy Catholic and Apostalic Church"

Great web-site, Paradiszia, and congratulations again.

Excellencies: The Coronation was marvelous and the site is beautiful! Would His Majesty like some Zahumljani Lippezaners to draw the coach, We can offer a team of matched white or matched bays. We use matched whites ordinarily but if the coach is present at a solemn occasion such as a State Funeral, the matched bays are used. We have a beautiful Dalmatian dog that matches each team too, one with black spots to match the white team and one with liver colored spots to match the bay team. They keep the horses calm in the stable and are useful for security reasons.
We used to use a team of Kleppers but the droopy ears on Kleppers made them look tired and they don't have the stamina or longevity of Lippezaners.
Just let us know and We can send them.
Again Congradulations and that is a terrific site!
Best Wishes
