Matchday 8 - Final - Victory - TWP Rugby World Cup winners

Fujanske Landslaget I Rugby 3-3 Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen (AET: FLR 3-13 HRJ) [HT: FLR 3-0 HRJ]

Tries: Ongo Vidopliassova (84'), Byron Tobu (90')

Penalties: Peter Cipriani (73', 97')

Pre-Match Report: This was the day. The day that rugby fans all across the West Pacific hoped to see, and yet most would be deprived of this experience. Behind the pleasant exterior of the National Stadium, 30,000 fans of both Fujar and Jammbian descent crammed themselves into the stands, full nearly to the point of bursting, for the one game that would decide the fate of the tournament. Who would walk home as the winners of the first ever Rugby World Cup? The answer would be available after the next 80 minutes. For now, it was final time, Fujai vs. Hertfordshire and Jammbo! And so it began...

First Half Report: Unfortunately, due to the conflicting styles of play of the defensive FLR and the offensive HRJ, the first half had very little to offer it's devoted followers. Indeed, all there was to report was an injury for Isaac Ozbek. No one knows his age, but he is somewhere between 6-12 years old, making him the youngest player in the tournament. Roman Bellic (He changed his surname back to his original one) came on to play for the first time. Oh, and Fujai took the lead through a penalty. I was rather hoping I didn't have to mention that.

Second Half Report: Luckily, the second half provided arguably the closest battle the tournament had seen. This time, the conflicting play styles benefitted the match, where the HRJ constantly banged on the door of the FLR, which kept itself firmly locked looking for that one opening where they could finish the game off. The excitement eventually produced an injury, to General Robert Lee. No one knows what had just occurred before, but it was bad news for the HRJ, as one of their best players was out of action. James Zeki entered the game. 10 minutes left, and the reality was settling in for most fans of Hertfordshire and Jammbo. The reality that they may actually lose the game, and the tournament. Fans of Fujai were becoming more and more confident by the minute. But, the will of the referee would prove to be a very volatile one. HRJ got the chance it so badly needed when Mikhail Agnelli was fouled by a Fujar defender. Up stepped Peter Cipriani, recently a made man. One kick later, the roar of the Jammbian crowd can be heard as far away as their native Andolia. Cipriani was the made man in more ways than one, and all of a sudden, Hertfordshire and Jammbo were in with a chance. The pressure increased on the Fujar defence, but they remained calm. They believed that the Hertfordian/Jammbian players would tire themsleves out, and the FLR could snatch the victory in extra time.

Extra Time Report: The HRJ's first extra time couldn't have been more important for them, their fans and their nation. The Origin of Music, the Saxons of the South had no better thing to do than hope. Beginning extra time and Fujai immediately scored a penalty, seemingly dooming hopes of a glorious comeback. Even worse, Mikhail Faustin, the top scorer, was struggling after the penalty incident in normal time, and now could bare it no longer. He limped back to the benches, where he would remain. It was over, it was truly over, the cup was completely lost...

And then it happened. Any plans that Fujai had went up in glorious dark green smoke. Spurred on by the fall of Faustin, the HRJ decided they would take no more punishment from these northerner wusses! Hertfordshire and Jammbo committed the rugby equivalent of Blitzkrieg and completely steamrolled the shocked Fujanske team with lighting fast movements and insane encircling manoeuvres! Within a matter of minutes, Ongo Vidopliassova at the 84th and ex-rapist Byron Tobu at the 90th fleeced a try each and just like that, Hertfordshire and Jammbo were on their way to the ultimate glory. The Fujar team panicked and became desperate, taking out Graham Foster shortly after Byron's try. This did not deter their opponents one bit, and to cap off a match to go down in the history books, original saviour Peter Cipriani stepped up and scored his second penalty, the cherry on top of the glory laden cake.

Post-Match Report: The match was over, and with that the TWP Rugby World Cup. Against all concievable odds, the winners of the Rugby World Cup, the certified greatest rugby team in The West Pacific, was a small isolated nation in southern Andolia that once fell into the sea. At the ceremony, the flag of Hertfordshire and Jammbo waved proudly, as the players, led by captain Robert Lee, lifted the trophy and displayed to the world that they were a nation at the very top of the chain. The national anthem, Aenglie haz nat peris/Đegl Cri n Frîdem av Aenglie Hav Nat Jet Peris, subsequently blared into the stadium, a pressing reminder for the Fujar team that they were unable to achieve greatness. Hertfordshire and Jammbo returned home the victors, Fujai returned home the first of the losers. In the third place match, Giovanniland showed Dalimbar why landmines are bad with the GENR defeating the DUR 6-3 to claim third place in the tournament. The Dalimbari team are going to have a very long journey home. In the meantime...

Olympics, anyone?

News Report: The protest at the Dalimbari embassy has ended, with the Reçuecian government extraditing around 1,230 fans of Jammbian descent back to their homeland. They will face trial at the Crown Court in Great Parndon, the capital of Hertfordshire and Jammbo, for charges of illegal breaching of a national border with intent to harm and vandalize. Most members of the protest group are likely to be sentenced to 14 years in prison with the chance of parole. The most peaceful of them may be given a reprieve, of only 5 years with parole.

Hertfordshire and Jammbo would like to thank Reçueçn for holding such a wonderful tournament, the HRJ for bringing the title home, and to all participants of the TWP Rugby World Cup for joining us in the spirit of ramming into each other with body armour on. You made this tournament what it was.

Slava Anglia! For The West!

[TWP Rugby World Cup [rosters, roleplays, results]]

Quick Report from H&J: The Verkhovna Anglia (Parliament) have officially declared that an embassy, no matter where it is, can be considered protest ground if people wish to use it as such. This probably explains why so many Hertfordians/Jammbians are involved in the anti-landmine protest, because they see no issue in protesting at an embassy. Nor do the Parliament, or indeed the Prime Minister. The government has vowed to protect it's citizens abroad and will not tolerate forceful removal by Reçu or Dalimbari officials of Hertfordian/Jammbian rugby fans from the protest site.

Some citizens have taken it too far though, as they begin to actively breach the Dalimbari border and remove landmines any way they can. Dalimbari and Reçu authorities have ordered them to leave, and Clarkov has demanded the extradition of said individuals back to H&J where they will face punishment for illegal violation of a border and destruction of a border security measure. Meanwhile, the fans of this nation refuse to leave the embassy, where a few have set up camp.

That is all.

Matchday 7 - Semi-Finals - Victory

Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen 20-7 Dalimbar Union da Rugby (HT: HRJ 5-7 DUR)

Tries:  Mikhail Faustin (14'), Benjamin Morrison (76'), Bello Salman (79')

Conversions: Robert Lee (80')

Penalties: Benjamin Morrison (51')

Before the match, Toni Bandera was discharged from the team after being found guilty of inciting a mass genocide of Teralyians in the western parts of Hertfordshire and Jammbo. He is currently residing in a Cambrayan concentration camp.

First Half Report: As mentioned, Bandera is no longer on the team, so he has been replaced with Richard Clarkson. The start was very much like the start of the Darkesia match, in that the Dalimbari side put a try and a conversion through in the first 2 minutes, and all of a sudden HRJ fans began to worry. There really was no need though, because that is all the Dalimbaris would see of the H shaped goalposts. In the 14th minute, top scorer Mikhail Agnelli, now actually Mikhail Faustin, actually failed to intimidate the Dalimbari's. So he had to resort to unleashing his full talent and soon, a try was brought. Yet, no conversion. The DUR and the HRJ became involved in a massive brawl at the end of the first half, incited by Richard Clarkson threatening the Dalimbari coach, Hasse Siemon, with a shovel. He allegedly said "I'm holding this shovel. Leave, or it's gonna go very black for you all of a sudden." A mass brawl ensued, the largest seen in the tournament, fuelled by Richard's outburst and tensions involving Dalimbari landmines. In the chaos, Hertfordian/Jammbian manager Jennifer Hammond attempted to gouge the eye out of DUR captain Theodor Rybar, so she was sent to the stands. 3 HRJ players came out with injuries: Chris Morituros, Scott Bevan and Peter Cipriani. They were replaced with Michael Johnson, Niko Bellic (Roman had urged him to change his last name to Bellic after he found out they were cousins. Roman has done the same.) and Elizabeth Berwick, who happens to be part of the House of Broxbourne, the H&J royal family. Two other players, Ashraf Memento and Richard Clarkson, were booked. The DUR had no injuries, and no yellow cards.

Second Half Report: After the insanity of the first half, the HRJ were still trailing. But at 51 minutes, the situation was remedied by a penalty from Benjamin Morrison. Then, nothing much really happened for the next 25 minutes. With just under 5 minutes to go and with Hertfordshire and Jammbo leading 8-7, Dalimbar cracked down on the pressure against the Hertfordian/Jammbian defensive wall. However, they broke their own lines in the process and Benjamin Morrison finished off a superb counter attack started by Niko Bellic. Just as the match was about to end, the desperate attack had taken it's toll on the Dalimbari team. Bello Salman steamrolled past the exhausted Dalimbari's and secured the win for the HRJ. Robert Lee placed the cherry on top of the proverbial cake with a conversion.

Post-Match Analysis: The win sets up Hertfordshire and Jammbo to appear in the first ever TWP Rugby World Cup Final, where they will battle Fujanske Landslaget I Rugby at the National Stadium. Dalimbar, despite being knocked out, have one match left. The DUR will duel with GENR (Gïovannilandiäna Equïpa Nacïonalia di Rugbio) in the third place playoff. Giovanniland were defeated by Fujai in extra time in their semi-final.

News: Clarkov Ongo Clarkson, Prime Minister of the Confederal Kingdom of Hertfordshire and Jammbo, has heard of attempts by the junta in Dalimbar to pressure the international community to condemn him for his peaceful attendance of a protest at the Dalimbari embassy in Reçueçn, where attendees were rallying against the use of landmines along Dalimbar's borders. Consequences will not be pushed, supposedly because they can hide behind the landmines if things get out of hand. Prime Minister Clarkov has personally waded in on the situation, and he was very unhappy with how the junta were handling the state of affairs. He accused the Dalimbari junta of being insecure and boastful about their border protection. Some Hertfordian/Jammbian citizens have begun to call for a show of force by the Anglian Royal Navy, Pirate Fleet of Hertfordshire and Jammbo and Royal Privateer Fleet of Hertfordshire and Jammbo on Dalimbar's coast. Clarkov though has stated that he sees military action as ridiculous and has refused to go along with it. The Verkhovna Anglia is set to debate the protest in the next PMQ's. Isambard May, coach of the HRJ and fiery as always, claimed rather outlandishly that the junta were being sore losers, pointing to the HRJ 20-7 DUR scoreline. Meanwhile, the convicted genocider Toni Bandera has been sentenced to death by the Crown Court in Great Parndon. He will be executed in a few days time.

Matchday 6 - Quarter-Finals - Victory

Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen 19-0 Sensorland (HT: HRJ 12-0 SEN)

Tries: Ongo Vidopliassova (3'), Bello Salman (5'), Mikhail Agnelli (49')

Conversions: Chris Morituros (4'), Bello Salman (50')

Robert Lee & Scott Bevan have fully recovered from their injuries and participated in the Hertfordshire and Jammbo - Sensorland match.

First Half Report: The match began, and pretty much blew up in just a few minutes. Ongo Vidopliassova basically just made a try happen with little fuss, before Chris Morituros scored the conversion. The match restarted, and then unstarted almost immediately, when Bello Salman ripped a try through the Sensorian defence. No conversion, because was there really any need? From then on, the rest of the half soon turned into a park-the-bus display, as Sensorland tried and failed consistently to break the Hertfordian/Jammbian lines.

Second Half Report: Enter the second half. This time, Hertfordshire and Jammbo did not score straight away, something which baffled commentators present. Instead, 9 minutes into the second half, the ever-present Mikhail Agnelli, perhaps the HRJ's star player so far, placed another one of his trademark tries on the ground. By trademark, I mean he intimidated his way through the lines, because no one on team Sensorland wanted to annoy the most powerful mafia boss in Andolia. Afterwards, a conversion occurred, courtesy of Bello Salman. One of his favourite pastimes is reading comic books, his favourite being one of his own creation - Jammbo Man. For the rest of the match, park-the-bus mode was reinstated, and after what felt like a googolplex (10^{10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000}) years, the game finally concluded.

Post-Match Analysis: Following the HRJ's best performance of the tournament so far, the semi-final will be a rematch against Dalimbar Union da Rugby.

News Report: Relations threatened to spill over after Dalimbar found out about the attendance of Hertfordian/Jammbian Prime Minister Clarkov at an anti-landmine rally at the Dalimbari embassy. Since then, PM Clarkov has turned his attention to the serial dopers of Dilber, openly condemning their use of performance-enhancing drugs on children and old people. Clarkov gave the following statement: "Drugs are the last resort of the feeble-minded. There simply is no need for PED's at any stage of ever. Look, the HRJ has 5 children playing for it - Ongo Vidopliassova, Bello Salman, Isaac Ozbek, Homer Goomo and Mina Klebitz - who have never needed to take PED's to perform well. 4 of the 5 have been involved in at least one successful try/conversion/penalty for the Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen. The other one has yet to play. So don't come telling me that drugs are needed in the TWPRWC, because that is a load of incessant twaddle".

Thursday 27^th February - Matchday 5 - Group Stage Final Game - Victory

Hertfordshire and Jammbo 22-10 Darkesia (HT: HRJ 10-5 DAR)

Tries: Mikhail Agnelli (19'), Ongo Vidopliassova (24'), Britannia Degre (41'), Chris Morituros (52')

Conversions: James Zeki (53')

First Half Report: The match began, the HRJ already through, and so we sort of let it go. By that, I mean Darkesia scored a try in the first minute. Surprisingly, there was not a rant in earshot. After this, the players became serious again, and ran the chocolatiers ragged. This eventually paid off, with Mikhail Agnelli bagging a leveller. No conversion was made, which seems normal at this point. 5 minutes later, in steps Ongo Vidopliassova, who doesn't communicate using words. Instead he uses sounds and mimes to communicate. Either way, he still put the HRJ into the lead. What then occurred was a realisation by the entire team that Darkesia seemed to have given up trying. Perhaps they were having a chocolate break.

Second Half Report: Once the second half was underway, Hertfordshire and Jammbo (The Jammbians) continued their noble tradition of scoring immediately in the second half. This time, Britannia Degre pulled off her first try for the team, and boy was she pleased with it, expressng her dominance in truly majestic ways. Sadly, an opposition try then had to come and dampen things. Still, could be worse. Then it got worse. Arguably the best performer of the tournament, General Robert Lee, was sent packing to the benches after clashing heads with an angered Darkesian player, who was immediately sin binned. He didn't care. Hopefully Robert Lee can make a full recovery in time for the next match. To avenge the loss of R. E. Lee, Chris Morituros cleaved a try straight through the middle of the field. General R. E. Lee's replacement, James Zeki, then rounded off a top performance by actually getting a conversion! A rarity, that is for sure. Although an injury to Britannia Degre saw her replaced with government agent Sanchez, there was ultimately nothing to worry about, as HRJ comfortably saw out the rest of the game.

Post-Match Analysis: Following the win, Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen have won Group C with 9 points and will take on Sensorland in tomorrow's quarter-finals. Darkesia has finished bottom of Group C with 0 points.

Exclusive Report! Rumours of a planned mass protest turn out to be true!

This day saw the dawn of the planned protest. Sports fans from Hertfordshire and Jammbo, along with fellow fans from Fujai, Tara & Cambray and a few from Reçueçn, held a rally outside the Dalimbari embassy in Reçueçn against the use of landmines along Dalimbar's borders. The protest was the largest so far, and included many notable speakers. Controversially, the Jammbian Prime Minister, Clarkov Ongo Clarkson, was spotted addressing the gargantuan crowd, giving a passionate and well-recieved speech about how Dalimbar is just an infantile pillock for having mines in the first place. The protest was peaceful, for a time, and no arrests were made at any point, at least, not until later on in the protests. The protest is expected to continue through the night.

Wednesday 26th February - Matchday 4 - Victory

Badgeria 10-21 Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen (HT: BBB 5-8 HRJ)

Tries: Mikhail Agnelli (22'), Niko Wesker (43'), Robert Lee (63')

Conversions: Isaac Ozbek (23'), Carl Jefferson (44')

Penalties: Mina Klebitz (10'), Mikhail Agnelli (60')

The manager of Badgeria has requested to not have any information regarding player names of their team in this report.

First Half Report: The match between Badgeria and Härtferdsierndeambeu began with tempers flaring on both sides, victory vital for either teams chances of progressing to the next round. It was end-to-end chaos with barely a dominant team in sight. 10 minutes in, though, and serious drama occurred. HRJ player No. 15, Scott Bevan, was tackled on the overly hard side by one of the Badgeria players, which resulted in a bust-up between members of both teams, resulting in 2 yellow cards for Badgeria and a lucky escape for Hertfordshire and Jammbo. Bevan's injury should last 1 match. He was replaced with Niko Wesker. Subsequently, Mina Klebitz scored the penalty drop kick with relative ease and a sprinkling of awkwardness. Ongo Vidopliassova had escaped cautioning after becoming involved in the earlier fight, but he didn't help his case much, as the referee booked Ongo for talking angry gibberish to the opposition coach. The coach made sure his team responded, for just 4 minutes later, Badgeria were in the lead after a very aggressive try. The attempted conversion was also aggressive, thus it spiralled out wide. Of course, it was a mere matter of time until Mikhail Agnelli remedied the situation, with the conversion of Isaac Ozbek adding to that. The rest of the first half saw HRJ go into park-the-bus mode and play such boring rugby that the Badgerian substitutes bench actually fell asleep watching the game.

Second Half Report: The second half got underway, and immediately became good. Niko Wesker casually intimidated his way through the Badgerian defence and planted a try so pleasantly, you'd swear he was a capo. It also helped that Carl Jefferson, straight outta Grove Street, pulled off a tough conversion. A return to wibbly-wobbly-rugby-wugby then occurred, except now Badgeria had a mountain to climb, against a small isolated nation from south-east Andolia. Insert questionable referee decision here, as the internationally disliked Kingston Ray, a smug and perverted man, was put out of action for the rest of the tournament, and frankly, everyone present was glad to see him go, including HRJ manager Jennifer Hammond. Better yet, it meant that Mikhail Agnelli scored a superb penalty. Just as quickly as the game restarted did Robert Lee, previous game's MOTM, place the game well and truly out of the Badger's reach with a tactical try that reeked of expert military general, because that's exactly what Robert Lee is when he isn't playing rugby. That wasn't to say Badgeria were done trying. After Ashraf Memento became cocky and slammed into an opposition player, thereby recieving a yellow card, same said player came up and scored a try, just to rub it in Ashraf's face. The match ended 5 minutes later, with Hertfordshire and Jammbo recording a comfortable win on an overall glorious night.

Post Match Report: Due to this result, the Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen have qualified for the TWP Rugby World Cup Quarter-Finals with one match to spare. Big Bad Badger/Badgeria on the other hand has been left wondering what went wrong as they crash out of the tournament, in 3rd after playing all 3 games.

Bonus Report: It is highly known that Prime Minister Clarkov was among the visitors in the official's box above the stands. Afrer witnessing the national team record a solid win, he burst into laughter as he heard the news that Dilber had been defeated by Teralyon, and was essentially out of the tournament barring a miracle. Here is what Clarkov had to say: "Hey, Dilberian Dopin' Dogs, where are your PED's now?! You see, citizens of Hertfordshire and Jammbo, this is exactly why drugs should never be touched upon, at any age of your lives". He then turned to the screen and raised a glass to the downfall of Dilber, and to the success of the HRJ.

Sunday 23rd February - Matchday 1 - Win

Dalimbar Union da Rugby 17-18 Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen (HT: DUR 12-0 HRJ)

Tries: Ongo Vidopliassova (42'), Robert Lee (65'), Mina Klebitz (78')

Penalties: Scott Bevan (49')

First Half Report: The Dalimbari team began the game the better team, inflicting heavy pressure on the Anglian side. This almost relentless pressure soon paid off, with Barta scoring a try in the 13th minute, although a conversion would not follow. At the 25 minute mark, Dalimbar increased their lead thanks to Rybar, and this time Navratil would score his conversion. The rest of the first half was pretty quiet. Hertfordshire and Jammbo had it all to do in the second half.

Second Half Report: After Isambard May had a right go at the players for their lacklustre first half performance, the pep talk/angry rant had an effect, as Hertfordshire and Jammbo came out guns blazing and almost immediately scored their first try of the game, courtesy of Ongo Vidopliassova. A conversion, much like most tries in the game, did not get converted. Seven minutes later, and the HRJ lost a player through injury. Williana Zelensky collided with Victor Labelle of Dalimbar and dislocated her shoulder as a result. It is feared she will be out for the rest of the tournament. In response, Scott Bevan secured a penalty. Eventually, Dalimbar picked up steam again, with Rybar scoring his second try of the game, but this would be the limit of the Dalimbari scoreline. At 65 minutes, Robert Lee cleverly manoeuvred his way around the Dalimbari team and put Hertfordshire and Jammbo in with a shout. Again, no conversion. Finally, just 2 minutes before match's end, Mina Klebitz, who had been brought in for the injured Zelensky, scored the try that granted a sneaky victory to the HRJ. There was to be no conversion, but it didn't matter. Hertfordshire and Jammbo had just pulled off an unlikely comeback.

Next Time: Härtferdsierndeambeu have two bye days before they do battle against Big Bad Badger at the Chapel-Field House in Reçueçn City. Dalimbar Union da Rugby have one bye day before facing the same opponent at Stade de la Reformation in Genève.

Steidiem/Стааиен: Stratosfera Park (Hoddesdon)  [Stratosfera Park is the national stadium for the HRJ and is based in the northern fringes of Hoddesdon, just a couple streets away from the Princess Alexandra Hospital. It has been the home of the HRJ ever since the beginning of 1420 SM. This stadium has a capacity of 90,810 seats, making it the second largest stadium in the land behind Fàktri Mêridien in Harlow, which has a capacity of 111,089 as a football stadium, and is near the Music Factory, where all of TWP's music ultimately harkens back to. There's a reason the Jammbo side of H&J is referred to by nationals as the 'Origin of Music in the Universe'.]

Stail Madifaie/Стли Мадифаикеите: +3.8 [Rugby players in H&J are aggressive players, and are often offensively minded. The tactics of H&J perhaps resemble an organized mafia assault. When needed, they also perform a mean park-the-bus defence, due to their height and speed off the line/in general]

RP Permissions (I wish for a realistic experience): Injure My Players: Yes Assign Yellow Cards: Yes Assign Red Cards: No Godmod injuries: No Godmod scoring: No Godmod other events: No

This roster has been provided by the Härtferdsierndeambeu Ragbi Junjen.

NOTE: Hertfordshire and Jammbo has a well developed local rugby scene that has been going on for some time, but national rugby is something new for the country.

[World Summit - Great World Trade Treaty Ratification]

Blumiere Dooku

Minister of Foreign and World Assembly Affairs

Sunday 12th January 2020

The Confederal Kingdom of Hertfordshire and Jammbo

+3 80854 582 979

Citadel Tyrio

Foreign Affairs Adviser

The Empire of Einherfell

 

Dear Mr. Citadel Tyrio,

This looks like an interesting and very ambitious project that you and your team have thought of. It goes without saying that this letter is in response to the deal and it's details, as well as informing you of the position that Hertfordshire and Jammbo holds on the matters addressed.

Universal Trade Standards: The form of universal trade standards that I joined the agreement for was standardization, because Hertfordshire and Jammbo are increasingly annoyed at the lack of such a thing, and wish for free trade deals to be easier to arrange, without all the red tape of differing trade standards. I did not sign up for any internationalization of free trade. Upon showing this to the Prime Minister, he and I expressed our concerns with any possible internationalisation within this trade deal. For starters, many nations have different currencies. Take the Delta Pound and the Mira for example. Differing currencies in free trade deals may lead to a loss in revenue for any one of the nations involved, depending on how strong or weak their currency is compared to the rest of the nations involved in the trade deal. Hertfordshire and Jammbo do not wish to be part of a trade deal if we are going to lose economic revenue.

Goods may be exported and imported at will with no inhibitions: I will not under any circumstances back a deal that allows unrestricted trade. Part of my job is to protect Hertfordian businesses and workers on the global scale, and this includes the ability to place tariffs on industries that threaten them. If inhibition-free trade is allowed, this prevents the nation from placing tariffs to benefit it's people, and leaves them vulnerable to job outsourcing, which ultimately threatens their livelihoods and the Jammbonian economy as a whole. Free trade is good and all, but a nation must be allowed to engineer deals in a way that benefits their nation, even if that includes inhibitions.

Fair Trade: This is a mixed bag. Hertfordshire and Jammbo recgonises that it allows small businesses here to climb to the international stage and prevent exploitation of workers by the large corporations. However, due to the guaranteed minimum price, there is no drive to become more efficient, often leading to the customer paying more for reasons that cannot be justified in the world of business. Hertfordshire and Jammbo overall approves of the inclusion of fair trade, but it is not the perfect solution.

Goods safety regulations: This I can see being a good idea, but I wonder what standards there would be, as nations across the world have different definitions and even more different ideas regarding what constitutes an unsafe product. It would require most nations to give up their currently implemented laws on the safety of products, which depending on what nation the international laws are closest to would likely limit or even prevent nations from keeping out products that they deem to be unsafe. Because of this, I have recommended to the Prime Minister that we do not endorse this policy.

Access to ocean ports for landlocked countries, without restriction based on political standing with the surrounding nations: OK, now this takes the cake. I ask, as an individual and as a representative of the government and the people of Hertfordshire and Jammbo, what would the sense be of allowing landlocked nations, regardless of political relationship, unfettered access to a nations ports? This would be an appalling attack on the sovereignty of the world's countries including the one I represent. We refuse to allow any other nation unrestricted access to our ports, such as Parndon Port, the 6th largest container port in the continent. Hertfordshire and Jammbo's ports belong to Hertfordshire and Jammbo. I see why landlocked nations may like this, but I say this now, a port that is in the territory of a country is de jure the territory of that country. Also, completely shunning the political relationship of two or more nations is highly irresponsible and may lead to possible conflict if the two have negative views of the other as a whole. Hertfordshire and Jammbo blatantly refuses to be a part of this deal if this proposal is included. Our sovereignty, security, and territorial rights are too valuable.

In conclusion, there are many aspects of the global deal that Hertfordhsire and Jammbo are willing to accept, such as fair trade, but there are also aspects which we will never accept, such as unrestricted access for landlocked nations to ports of other nations. The government is in discussion as of tomorrow to weigh up the pros and cons and decide whether Hertfordshire and Jammbo should sign on to the world trade treaty. I will be recommending that they do not pursue this deal in its current form, but at the end, it is the choice of me and the Prime Minister whether this goes through the Verkhovna Anglia, and then the choice of King Charles I as to this gaining royal assent. It has been nice writing this letter to you.

Sincerely,

Blumiere Dooku, Minister of Foreign Affairs

[Trade Agreement Treaty [Active RP]]

To Cytadel Tyrio, in the Foreign Affairs office of the Empire of Einherfell

The Confederal Kingdom of Hertfordshire and Jammbo has reviewed this proposal and has concluded that it will not only benefit the country, but will also prove of value to the West. We believe a trade agreement of this magnitude will enable free trade at a level at which cannot be achieved without it. The Parliament has voted to support this deal, and both Prime Minister Clarkov and King Charles have given it their seal of approval. The people are also on board, having voted in favour by 59% to 41%. I look forward to representing this kingdom at the summit.

Signed,

Blumiere Dooku, Minister of Foreign Affairs

Clarkov Nadja Clarkson, Prime Minister
