Her Imperial Majesty Empress Pavlina I Ananto meets with The Republic



Empress Pavlina I Ananto sits with The Republic
State of Empire is Stronger than ever before
Eveari, Grand Duchy of Ananto
December 14, 5567

Quote:(The Republic's) D(onna) M(axwell):  Greetings to Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress Pavlina I Ananto, and I'd like to thank you for speaking with us today.  I am obligated to note that Her Imperial Majesty has generously waived the restriction of speaking directly to her during this informal meeting.

(Her Imperial Majesty, Empress) P(avlina I) A(nanto):  Thank you Madame Maxwell for speaking with us.  How is tea?  Is house special.

DM:  I really enjoy it.  What is in it?

PA:  Is jasmine and opium tea.  Is very calming as you may imagine.

DM:  Indeed:  I do taste the opium there.  It's flowery.

PA:  Is served daily in informal audience.  But you are here to ask questions.  If you would like more, we will happily pour you some.

PA:  Thank you;  I shall take Her Imperial Majesty up on that soon.  Now, first question:  Would Her Imperial Majesty begin by telling our readers how she is doing?

PA:  We are well.  Empire is on even keel.  We have recently held notable state visit with Emperor of Lourenne, Maximilien Five, and that will yield benefits with regards to increased security in both Anantonese and Mad Dog Ocean.  We look forward to meeting with Emperor again as soon as he concludes nuptials ceremony.

DM:  Did Her Imperial Majesty float a candidate in that marriage suit?

PA:  Was not our intention to put forth candidate of Anantos to Lourenne Crown.  While it would be within our rights to do, there would be no suitable candidate among House Ananto:  They are either too young or are already married.

DM:  What about the Crown Princess Carolina?

PA:  Our Chancellor informed us that Nationalists in National Assembly would not tolerate anything like that.  While we had our difficulties at beginning, which are thankfully subsided now, Nationalist have adopted Carolina as like own child, and we believe that she shares sympathy along Nationalist lines.  We did not even ask daughter because we are certain of response.  Besides her proclivities for Ananto and Kalistan, she still works in National Service and then intends to attend Polytechnic to continue study in civil engineering.  We expect to be close to 60 years old by her graduation.  She would prefer to remain here to prepare to perform her greatest duty to State and People, and we would prefer that for her also.

DM:  Moving on then, would Her Imperial Majesty be willing to comment on the various international conferences such as the new Artanian Conference or the Socialist International?

PA:  On Artanian Conference, no additional comment.  Continent sadly looks to be banning foreign bases.  We are not concerned, as we are not currently pursuing foreign bases, or influence whatsoever in Artania.  We aim to neutralize Artanian influence in Seleya.  We hope to make them feel as unwelcomed on our shores as they insist we are on theirs.  Fair is fair. 

As for SocIntern, we state emphatically that socialist, communist, and revolutionary are as unwelcomed in Kalistan as Luthorians.  For much same reasons.  Socialists fill people's heads with radical notion of equality and bottom up power.  We have been taught, in very costly way, by people of Kalistan that if you give people inch, they will go after head, and those sorts of impulses must be strangled in cradle before they have chance to fester and metastasize in population--that is lesson that is at stark odds with our own former affinity for liberal, democracy, and free market, which we have since found naïve and shortsighted.  Instead is our solemn duty to protect institution of Crown from dangerous and radical elements that are, at least to degree represented by revolutionary socialist parties who are attend convention and are coddled by nations like Baltusia, Xsampa, Ikradon, Zardugal and Istalia.  We encourage sane elements in those nations to put end to their dangerous tolerance of revolutionary internationalist organizations.

DM:  Perhaps Her Imperial Majesty will recall that not too long ago, we did a story on the recent Theory conference where the keynote speaker, Dr. Henry Hughes, called Kalistan's socio-economic system at least the descendant of a long socialist history, and advised that Kalistan would do better to reach out to socialist Nations.

PA:  Doctor does not represent our views but his own.  Kalistan economy is ethical dual national economy, whatever Dr. Hughes wish to classify it as. 

DM:  Would Her Imperial Majesty care to comment on Kalistan's Space Program?

PA:  Yes, we have welcomed scientists back from Beiteynu, and they have brought us some improved diagram for rocket engine that we expect to have some success with in spring.  Rocket test from this spring and summer, called Luthori II and III were complete failure again.  Luthori Two flew 50 feet in air, and then explode, and Luthori Three oxygen line failed after launch, killing engine prematurely.  But ISCA brief notes significant difference between original Kalistani Design and Beiteynese system, and ISCA believe they have identified issues which cause rocket explosion.  We try once more in Spring.  Each Failure is step toward success.

DM:  Why does Her Imperial Majesty think ISCA calls the rockets Luthori?

PA:  Joke, perhaps.  Rocket is actually Spear Rocket, and engine has long number, BLFE-XX.  ISCA name failures "Luthori" only after fail.  Scientists have sense of humor, but we have tacitly endorsed their comedy by not encouraging them to name rocket something else.  With new engine, and possibly successful test flight, rocket will get to keep name, and not get demoted to "Luthori".

DM:  Could Her Imperial Majesty give us some clues about Kalistan's relations with Lourenne and Lodamun?

PA:  Lodamun has continued to welcome our 4th Regular Navy in Newport.  Their government seems satisfied that Kalistan is obeying their law and is not using base lease to perform nefarious mission in Mad Dog Ocean.  We believe we will still work together in near future to strengthen ties, and we look forward to continuing work Dame DuMont has competently begun with Lodamun Commonwealth. 

In Lourenne, as we said, we have had constructive visit with Emperor and Chancellor as well as several dignitaries.  We will look forward to announcement of His Highness' marriage, and will make effort to attend and bring he and future wife many one of a kind gift from Ananto.  We also wish to continue conversation we begun when Emperor Maximilien Five visited us about increasing security, technology cooperation and commercial relations with Lourenne. 

Part of security cooperation will include new exercises and patrol schedules in Anantonese Ocean, to check incursion of Artanian powers in Anantonese Ocean.  Defense in Depth include partners like Lourenne, as well as Lodamun and Wrnuke who remain in Port Swedes to enhance Ocean Security.  Wrnuke recently have been aggrandized by several Beiteynese ships, making Jelbic presence in Northern Anantonese truly astounding.  People of Port Swedes are becoming accustomed to Jelbic Beef, broccoli and rice and flavors and music of Majatra:  We applaud cultural diffusion of Wrnukean Sailors bringing some things from their home to Kalistan and in exchange, try some of Kalistani culture too.  Cultural exchange like this strengthens bond between people and allows all to live more full life.

DM:  Last question:  Would Her Imperial Majesty comment on the Crown Princess Carolina?  What is her overall program once she finishes her National Service in about a half a year?

PA:  Has been almost four years already?  How time flies.  Carolina is our own joy, she is good kid, very smart.  We are so proud of her and her commitment to Empire so far, and we tell her all days, every time we get chance, that we love her and will support her in all choices.  She will enroll in Kaliburg Polytechnic in Fall next year, and wants to study civil engineering.  Her work crew built major road through mountain to Five Sisters River region of Ananto, and she worked on Bridges 17  and 18 in Green County. Road will connect Bozo and Eveari to Dahriel someday, and she did so much work with her crew to cut path over mountain and then clear and place bridge.  She said she may be interested in study GIS in school:  She will gain master surveyor certification out of NSP, and wants to make maps of data from survey.

During study at Polytechnic, we also will prepare for her to become Head of Anantonese Empire.  We have so much to teach her, and so little time.  We are 52 now, and will be close to 60 when she finish school, and who knows when she will have to take over and be Empress now.  Plus, marriage, and we hope she has kid of own, maybe kids.  She is our only daughter, but it would be great to have grandchildren running around and singing and all these activities.  Maybe too soon.  But she will be busy, and also will need time to do all she need to do to become next Empress.  So... so little time...  Excuse us:  We always get misty thinking about what amazing woman she has become, and all she had to go through in life as such young age.  We only hope she can be as happy and confident as adult as she was as little girl.

DM:  I will give Her Imperial Majesty a moment.

PA:  It is fine.  We are composed.  Sometimes it is hard to appear happy for public, but we are very happy about Carolina.  And very proud of her too.

DM:  I believe that concludes all the questions I have for Her Imperial Majesty. 

PA:  Thank you for speaking with us today.  And your cup is now empty.  We shall warm both cups up before you depart.

DM:  I thank Her Imperial Majesty.

Crown Princess Carolina Ananto-Hulanevek completes National Service



Crown Princess Talks National Service, College, and Music
Her Highness Crown Princess Carolina Ananto-Hulanevek prepares for Future
Kaliburg, Grand Duchy of Ananto
July 22, 5568

Quote:(La Moda's) D(iane) C(urtis):  Hello Your Grace.  It is a pleasure to meet you today.

(Her Highness, Crown Princess) C(arolina) A(nanto-Hulanevek):  Ms. Curtis, I am glad to speak with you today.  And welcome to Wilson House.

DC:  This home is beautiful.  It is full of light.

CA:  Yes, there are so many windows, its quite impressive. 

DC:  Your Grace, can you tell me a little about the history of Wilson House?

CA:  Well, Wilson house was originally a mansion for some wealthy family.  It was part of kind of this private, gated neighborhood that was on Wilson Hill that was full of summer homes belonging to wealthy citizens of Kaliburg.  But in 5535, Prince Bjorn, my dad's father, and my Uncle Mark Ananto-Orleans, decided to buy the neighborhood out to give the Anantos a place outside of downtown, where Prince Bjorn and Empress Nicolette used to own a townhome.  So they bought all this land, and got rid of a bunch of houses up here on the hill, so that its more of a park now than a neighborhood.  Wilson House was the main house that the Anantos wanted to keep, because it has such a beautiful view and has access to Davon Bay and everything.  Wilson House was always intended to be the family's home.  And we always lived between here and Eveari, but after my father's death, my mother, I think preferred Eveari, which is where I spent most of my time as a kid, and we only came up to Kaliburg when my mother was needed at the Imperial Seat, or when we had guests.  And now that I am done with national service, my mother has suggested I take Wilson House as my residence so she can stay in Eveari more.  She'll still come into town often and will stay with me at Wilson House, but she will take informal audiences in Eveari from now on.

DC:  So this whole house is yours?

CA:  The whole peninsula, really.  It's an estate.  I want to allow people to take recreation here.  We have excellent beaches on the other side of the peninsula, and there is no reason that the people of Kaliburg can't enjoy the parkland too.  Perhaps I can get the National Assembly to declare the peninsula, outside the immediate grounds of the House here, to be a national park.  Though my mother is set against that, so that may have to wait.  She would be worried about my safety if I did that.

DC:  So Your Grace, would you care to comment on your time in the National Service?

CA:  Certainly.  First let me say, that National Service was so good for me, and I am so incredibly proud to have had the opportunity to serve my Nation in this way.  My mother and father always told me about how important National Service was, and I am happy to report that they are right.  Corps after Corps, generation after generation, we build this Empire, so that every man, woman, and child who is born in Kalistan can know that they truly own this nation.  It is ours.  We built it, and we own it, and we will never let anyone take it from us.  These values are inculcated into the Conscripts from day one, and you won't find a single Kalistani Citizen, I think, who disagrees with that idea.

DC:  I have done National Service myself, and I can agree with that sentiment, though perhaps a bit less fervently than you.  For me, it was something I had to do, and something I did and I was proud of it.  But Your Grace speaks like a zealot.  And that is doubly interesting given that you moved to Kalistan when you were six.

CA:  So much more so then.  As an immigrant, I was particularly lucky in that I wasn't just any immigrant, but my mother married an Emperor. (laughs).  My father gave us both a great life, and while it is sad that I didn't get to know him longer before that terrorist took him from us, he nonetheless set an example that I am proud to follow.  I have embraced Kalistan as my home since I was a little girl, and I will live the rest of my life a proud citizen of Kalistan.

DC:  You grew up speaking Lurrian, from Kundrati.  And yet, I wouldn't be able to tell just from listening to Your Grace speak today.

CA:  Thank you.  In fact, when my mother and father fell in love, I had just started school in Kundrati.  I think I was in my first, kindergarten year, so I didn't even learn to read in Lurrian--I learned to read Vrassan and Egelian.  My mother barely spoke Vrassan and went to language classes for several years.  She can speak several languages, but Vrassan, or in Kundrati, Luthorian, was not one she used often.  So at first, she always said she felt more comfortable speaking Canrillais to my father than Vrassan.  But my mother insisted that I learn Vrassan.  I went through a very intensive Vrassan language course to catch me up when I was six or so, and by the time I was seven, I had mostly mastered Vrassan, so I wouldn't stand out in my classes to my peers.

DC:  For your language, I am guessing, Your Grace.

CA:  (laughs)  yes, for my language.  I couldn't do much about... you know, the other thing.  (laughs again)  But my mother was still working on learning Vrassan to speak with my father and she really worked very hard, and my father was so patient with her, and I think she got enough of it after a couple years to speak confidently in Vrassan as well though, as you know, she still has an accent and has to speak slowly so she can translate from Lurrian into Canrillaise and then into Vrassan.  And she also relied on me to help her too.  And when we lost my father, and had to move to Gaduridos for a while, and my Uncle spoke basically Egelian and Vrassan, my mother told him that if she didn't speak Vrassan she would feel so isolated.  I think she still practices, but she more or less never spoke in Lurrian around our house, so I have lost most of that.  I still can pick up parts of it, and may take classes just to try to remember it, but that was 16 years ago, where I have only spoken Vrassan, Egelian, and Canrillais, and so going back to Lurrian might be kind of difficult now, especially since I learned grammar as a Vrassan speaker.  It's way different than Lurrian.

DC:  Speaking of learning, Your Grace is enrolled at Kaliburg Polytechnic for the fall.  What will you be studying?

CA:  I think I really found my calling in National Service.  Civil Engineering is my passion.  I think I can be of great service to this Empire as a civil engineer.  Building bridges and surveying land, and applying load coefficients is all pretty exciting to me:  You can really see how the math works in a very practical sense in civil engineering.  While I remain Crown Princess and am in school, I have been given the opportunity to do an apprenticeship here in Kaliburg, where we are going to re-survey much of the city.  In some places, it was discovered to be about 16 feet off from the original plat, due to a lot of things, like earthquakes, and things like this, and they want to get accurate property lines and so forth.  So I will be working with Markson and Gamble and Associates, the engineering firm here in the Capital as a survey station operator while I am in school.  My mother has agreed that I can do this, something I really enjoy, while I am in school, and kind of ease into administrative training part time.

DC:  Does Your Grace mean training to become Empress?

CA:  Yes, the State has developed an actual training course for Government Administration.  I think it was initially developed for Nicolette II when she was Crown Princess.  As you know, Kalistan has a strange government.  The Empress is clothed in immense power, and she has to know how all the levers of Government operate so she can pull the right ones when she needs to.  My mother is kind of a one-woman show.  The National Assembly exists to put her pronouncements into effect, so she needs to know how to develop policy priorities, and manage the different factions of government and stakeholders in society.  It is really a very intensive job, and they want to make sure I am as ready as I can be, so Kalistan can have competent Government that is bent on justice and serves the National Interest.  She also didn't get to take any courses, because she only became Empress in response to a number of protests in the country.  So, she knows how important it is to prepare me to take over for her when she is finally ready to retire.

DC:  How would Your Grace rate Her Imperial Majesty as an administrator?

CA:  Oh, please be careful Ms. Curtis.  That can be a loaded question, and can get both of us into some trouble.  There are lines that even I don't cross, if you follow.

DC:  Respectfully, Your Grace, you would know better than anyone.  And Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress is sometimes a little difficult to get a read on.  So, perhaps, I can rephrase the question:  What are some successes and some... challenges... faced by Her Imperial Majesty as she leads the nation, and would you do anything differently?

CA:  Well, I think I could answer that.  Let's see.  My mother and father shared a vision of the Empire at the forefront of the conversation in Seleya, and I think both she and my father, posthumously, have achieved this.  The World seldom talks about Seleya without also sparing a few words for Kalistan.  We have expanded our position in Terra, and my mother has been the primary driver behind this.  Maybe my mother can be...  she can be touchy sometimes, maybe that's a good way to say it, and she has said as much.  I think she went through a lot in Kalistan, and there are some security things here, but she cannot tolerate, and really I can't either, other nations running Kalistan down.  It feels like an insult to the memory of my Father, and I think she takes that very very seriously.  She doesn't forget, and rarely forgives, especially those who do not treat Kalistan with the respect she thinks it deserves, and I certainly agree with that attitude as well.  This country has meant so much for so many people, most of all my mother and I, and it is unconscionable that anyone would ever say a bad word about it anywhere.  As for what I would do differently, I think we can stand to mend some bridges someday.  Some people who have slighted my mom will have to be forgiven someday.  That might have to wait until she retires and can let it go.

DC:  Is Luthori on that list?

CA:  Haha.  How did I know you would say that?

DC:  It is an obvious question, Your Grace.

CA:  No it is not on any list.  The grievances Kalistan has with Luthori are myriad, most of them preceding my mother's reign.  Including Luthori's insistence that they have a role in our Continent.  I wish to be emphatic, and my mother has also been unequivocal about this too.  Luthori has no legitimate place on Seleyan soil.  This is not going to change.  If Luthori wishes to improve relations, they could do one thing today.  Their Empress could abandon her misguided commonwealth, and treat with those states as fully independent and sovereign nations, as Kalistan does.  Short of that, Kalistan and Luthori have nothing to talk about.  It is a non-negotiable for Kalistan.  I don't think I am violating any state secrets by saying that.

DC:  What about other countries, such as those that are choosing to participate in the SocIntern.

CA:  I will be honest:  I don't feel qualified to speak about that.  I can just refer you to the Empress' recent statements, and tell you that her word is Kalistani Policy on all matters.  Will it be forever?  Obviously not, because someday my word will be policy.  Until then, Kalistan has one Sovereign, and her name is Empress Pavlina I Ananto, and so that's who speaks for Kalistan on all matters of State.

DC:  Fair enough, your Grace.  Moving on to questions of culture.  Who are you listening to these days?

CA:  Music wise, I am really loving that band The Republic.  It's really chill music.  Kinda jazzy, kinda soulful.  I really like it.

DC:  So you've left Noise behind?

CA:  Not really behind, but I think my tastes are expanding.  The Republic's album is like rainy day music.  The kind you just stay inside for, drinking warm coffee, maybe with some gold burning.  Its got psychedelic moments, it has nature sounds, and her voice is so interesting and moody.  Its a whole vibe, you know?  Noise is good for when you want to jump up and down and wake up, but I think as I get older, the mellow stuff is also very attractive to me too.

DC:  Do you often see live music?

CA:  Well, I've only been out of the Service for about a month.  I have been able to take in a couple shows.  I did see Marcus Carrangus in Luxon this month.  He's quite excellent, very enjoyable, really funky.  But you know what I would really like to see?

DC:  What's that, Your Grace?

CA:  I'd like to go to a Ganjam.  I wonder if anyone is working to put one of those together.  My father's mom went to one and I think its time they did another one.

DC:  I think if anyone can make that happen, It would be Your Grace.

CA:  I think so.

DC:  Well, I want to say I appreciate your willingness to speak so candidly, and your willingness to speak with us today.

CA:  It's completely my pleasure.  We should get these interviews in because I think when they make me the Empress, I won't be able to speak so informally anymore.  This whole thing would be illegal if I was my mom.

DA:  Indeed.  I think that may be a good thing, that separation.

CA:  So I am told.  But anyway, I really enjoyed speaking with you.

DA:  Thank you Your Grace.

CA:  It was a lot of fun.  Thank you for talking with me.

Chancellor of the Empire Ames reads proclamation concerning new Luthori Encroachment into Seleya

Quote:"Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Pavlina I Ananto has decreed that the Empire of Ananto and Kalistan no longer recognizes the Government of Luthori, nor the Government of Mordusia, who is in that state's thrall, and is fully supine in their orientation toward Luthori, as legitimate.  Kalistan will support any efforts by the people of those two nations to establish legitimate government by whatever means they have at hand.  To Wit:

1.  There shall be no additional official reference to Luthori as an empire or a commonwealth.  Luthori may be described only as a "state in Artania."  Kalistan will immediately cut all trade and diplomatic relations with Luthori.  All diplomatic staff that remain in Luthori will be recalled immediately, and all Kalistani citizens living and doing business in Luthori are advised to return to the Empire before Luthori is able to commit and depredations reprisals against Kalsitani citizens.

2.  The Empire of Ananto and Kalistan shall establish a new sanctions regime aimed at weakening external support for the illegitimate Government in Luthori.  This policy is a "zero tolerance" policy aimed at encouraging Seleyan nations to distance themselves from Luthori.  As of July 1st of this year, The Empire of Ananto and Kalistan will:
a)  expel all diplomatic personnel from all Seleyan signatories of the Luthorian Commonwealth Treaty.  Currently this consists only of Mordusia.
b) review whether or not Likatonia is in fact a member of the Luthorian arrangement, as it does not appear that there is any active treaty of commonwealth, neither free trade, nor military cooperation between Luthori and Likatonia at this time, but if Likatonia insists that it is a member of Luthori's arrangement, the terms of these sanctions will be applied to them too.
c) expel all diplomatic personnel from any other Seleyan Nation that assists Luthori in the promotion and advancement of any of its instruments of empire, either military, economic, or diplomatic.

3.  Kalistan will remove its OTH radar base from Likatonia and end all semblance of security and intelligence cooperation with that Government.

4.  No Luthorian Flagged Vessel will be welcomed in a Kalistani Port, and if they attempt to make port in Kalistan or Ananto in any other than an emergency situation, they will be boarded and impounded, and their cargo will be seized by Kalistani Authorities as contraband.  Luthorian Commerce will not be harassed on the High Seas, but Luthorian Flagged civilian craft will find no safe harbor anywhere in Kalistan.

5.  Kalistan will nationalize all Luthorian investments and assets in Kalistan, wherever they should be found.

6.  Kalistan will not permit any ship to port in any Kalistani Port who carries Luthorian Goods, even if they were purchased in a third Nation.  All ships carrying Luthorian Goods will be turned back to sea.  This applies to all nations, without regard to any other arrangement or treaty that Kalistan is a party to including the AESA specifically.  Nor will Kalistan permit shipment of Luthorian goods through its national territory via road or rail, and any Luthorian Goods that arrive by air for any other reason than an identified emergency shall be seized and impounded.

7.  Kalistan will offer generous resettlement grants for all civilian refugees from Luthori, without regard to skill or occupation.  We will accept all political asylum seekers from Luthori, except those who have been adjudicated by the Luthori Courts as criminals, and all those who wish will be eligible for immediate naturalization in Kalistan, on condition that they fully and public renounce their Luthorian Citizenship.

8.  Kalistan shall offer generous investment and diplomatic support to any Seleyan Nation that openly and explicitly rejects diplomatic, economic and military relationships with Luthori.

It is so commanded, By the Voice of Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Pavlina I Ananto, enacted by the hand of His Excellency, Chancellor of the Empire, Sir Bertram Ames-Ananto in the National Assembly of Deputies, The Empire of Ananto and Kalistan, This Day, the Eighteenth of June, 5561, and shall be endorsed by the Same National Assembly."
