I, Raymond Gordon, corrupt dictator of the Oppressed Peoples of Embrough, on behalf of Kaiser Henrich Konrad I, founder of the region of NeoPrussia, request an embassy here in your fine region of 1000 Islands.
We hope to establish mutually beneficial relations between our regions and to better communicate with the presence of an ambassador. If you are unable to provide your own ambassador for NeoPrussia at the present time, I will be able to be the temporary primary liason for both our regions.

As the 10000 Islands foreign liaison, I, Jesioneka, would formally like to welcome you to our Islands! Your request for an embassy on our Ambassador's Row territory has been approved. We are glad to have established a link with your fast-growing region. Please feel free to make yourself at home during your visits here and participate in our forum events as any Island citizen.
Currently, our ambassadorial resources are stretched thin, so we are unable to provide an ambassador to NeoPrussia at this time. However, I will be asking for volunteers in the coming days. If I get a volunteer, I will contact you immediately, and we will begin the process of requesting an embassy in NeoPrussia. For now, I would ask that you serve as the "temporary primary liaison for both our regions," as you stated.
For now, all the best, and enjoy your stay in the Islands.
Signed, Jesioneka Senior Senator and Head of the Emissary Program
I am the Kaiser and founder of NeoPrussia. Embrough is charged with the maintenence of our embassy, but I thought I stop by and have a look around myself. I love a good taco.

Great to have you here Kaiser Henrick! Glad you could come by on an official state visit. Please have a look around. And help yourself to the tacos -- we make them special around here, 10,000 Islands dressing and all.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS
Waves of Immigrants Flood NeoPrussia
Barely a week after opening its borders for immigration, NeoPrussia boasts 51 member nations. The population explosion is attributed to the region's aggressive recruitment campaign, which has enticed leaders from across the NS world to relocate their nations to NeoPrussian territory.

Key nations in the recruitment effort include not only the founding nation, Furtwald, but the Minister of Defense, Aureal Sun, and the Minister of Immigration, Shaunjalau. Achieving in a week what many regions take months to achieve, the NeoPrussian Recruitment Drive has been a model of efficiency and dedication.
Even more impressive than mere numbers has been the quality of these new arrivals. Countless member nations have sent intelligent, capable representatives to apply for citizenship. In the crucial weeks marking the formation of the regional government, these brave pioneers seem determined to build a region that will stand for the ages.
It is uncertain whether the NeoPrussian government will be able to sustain this level of growth. What is certain is that the region has overcome the first hurtle placed before newly-founded regions and is ready to face the next challenge it encounters.
Oktroyierte Verfassung Put Into Action
The Herrenhaus Building
The Oktroyierte Verfassung, NeoPrussia's constitution, is already being put into effect.
The document clearly explains and guarantees the rights of NeoPrussian citizens while giving the Kaiser the power to effectively and justly rule the region. Freedom of speech, the right to petition the government, the right to a fair and speedy trial, are among the many basic rights protected.
Executive power falls into the hands of the Kaiser, who can then appoint Ministers to assist him in carrying out the daily business of running the region. The Kaiser must appove all legislation before it becomes law, is commander-in-chief of the military, and assumes all responsibilities not delegated to another citizen.
Legislative power is granted to the Chambers, consisting of the appointed Herrenhaus and elected Landtag. Any citizen may run for a seat in the Landtag, with the cap for seats set at 30% of the number of registered citizens. Along with creating the laws of the region, the legislature also acts as a check against the executive branch through it's ability to remove the Magistrate--Chief Justice of the NeoPrussian judicial system--without the Kaiser's approval.
Already, the Oktroyierte Verfassung has served the region well. While all of the Ministry positions at present have been filled and members appointed to the Herrenhaus, NeoPrussia's first elections for the Landtag have yet to be held; these will commence on the 28th.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Embassy Openings
NeoPrussian foreign affairs have officially begun with embassies opened to seven different regions as directed by the Kaiser.
The NeoPrussian Foreign Ministerial nation, Embrough, which is also the main ambassador for our region, opened two embassies in the regions of Mount Formation and Alpha Omega, and two embassies in 10000 Islands and Feudal Japan (ruler of Tenka Fubu) are currently pending.
The Kaiser has personally requested embassies (or the equivalent) in Great Britain and Ireland, The Meritocracy, and ACCEL. The reception has been warm, and it is expected that the requests will be granted.

On NeoPrussian soil, the regions Alpha Omega and Great Britain and Ireland have set up shop. Relations between these regions in particular seem promising and friendly.
