Grand Kremlin Palace

The Grand Kremlin Palace (Большой Кремлёвский дворец Bolshoy Kremlyovskiy Dvorets), also translated Great Kremlin Palace, was built from 1837 to 1849 in Moscow, Russia on the site of the estate of the Grand Princes, which had been established in the 14th century on Borovitsky Hill. Designed by a team of architects under the management of Konstantin Thon, it was intended to emphasize the greatness of Russian autocracy. Konstantin Thon was also the architect of the Kremlin Armoury and the Church of Christ the Savior.

The palace is 125 meters long, 47 meters high, and has a total area of about 25,000 square meters. It includes the earlier Terem Palace, nine churches from the 14th, 16th, and 17th centuries, the Holy Vestibule, and over 700 rooms. The buildings of the Palace form a rectangle with an inner courtyard. The building appears to be three stories, but is actually two. The upper floor has two sets of windows. The west building of the Palace held state reception halls and the imperial family's private chambers.

Its five reception halls (Georgievsky, Vladimirsky, Aleksandrovsky, Andreyevsky, and Ekaterinsky) are named for orders of the Russian Empire: the Orders of St. George, Vladimir, Alexander, Andrew, and Catherine.

A plane carrying a diplomat from the People's Republic of the Bering Strait requests permission to land and to meet with the minister of foreign affairs.

A diplomat from the URS arrives. ((Can we just start skipping all the formalities? It's getting kinda annoying to have two posts dedicated to giving landing clearance.))

Clearance to land has been given.

*Some Time Later*

A convoy arrives at the airport and picks up the diplomats.

*After a few minutes...*

They are transported to the Grand Kremlin Palace, where they are now positioned to conduct foreign affairs with the Moscow Union.

"Hello, good friends! The URS wishes to initiate trade with your great nation!"

"Good friends? We have yet to meet or discuss anything at all. In addition, our nation has received reports that armed forces of your nation have invaded the region to the north of the Moscow Union. You have caused quite a disturbance. We will not accept a trade agreement from you in the time being."

A Black Limousine with the logo of the Empire of Japan pull up to the palace. A woman steps out and request to speak with the minister of foriegn affairs.

Armed Vympel escort the woman to a seperate room that contains a representative.

"I'm sorry. We do not have a Minister of Foreign Affairs. But, fortunately, I represent the nation and government."

The Japanese representative, a woman, bows to the representative.
"Domo. I am here to ask you if our nation could benefit from a trade agreement and a non-aggression pact. What do you think?"

The People's Republic of The Bering Strait wishes to propose trade and a non aggression pact between our great nations.

After much thought and shuffling of documents...

"This seems reasonable. The Moscow Union extends full support to both trade and the pact."

The representative handling this discussion, Vladimir Bykovsky, sips at a cup of coffee and lights up an unfiltered cigarette. He sits down behind his desk and ponders the offer for a few, delicate minutes.

"Da, this is agreeable."

The necessary preparations are made, and the plane is allowed to land. A convoy awaits to bring the diplomats to the Grand Kremlin Palace.

Vladimir Bykovsky stamps out a finished unfiltered, Russian cigarette and immediately lights a new one.

"What does the UUS want with the Moscow Union?"

"the UUS wishes to propose a trade between our two nations and a Non-Agression Pact"

Vladimir Bykovsky paces around his office, taking occasional puffs from the cigarette. He finally sits down behind his desk and reads a paper as he asks:

"Why should the Moscow Union accept this?"

"it is mutualy benifitual, and garntees saftey for bolth contrys, the only reson for dissagreeing to an NAP is if you plan on attacking the UUS, and open trade helps your contry so i dont see why not personelly"

"In relation to your current affairs in other nations, Moscow wishes as little involvement with your nation for the time being. We accept only the NAP agreement. Perhaps in time, relations can improve."

Death no more wrote:*A representative from the GLAU arrives at the Grand Kremlin Palace, the representative proposes a trade agreement.*

"That is agreeable, no? Of course, it is! The Moscow Union accepts."

The diplomats follow the escort into the designated meeting room.

"Greetings."The leader of the delegation says in a fairly thick Russian accent, "I am Sanya, the appointed diplomat to the Moscow Union. My nation wishes to conduct trade with yours and, possibly, to sign a non-aggression pact."

"Yes, well, I do not see a problem with this."

"Very well then. If you would just get these papers signed then, it could be official."

*Makes it official*

Members of the German government send a message to the Moscow Union requesting that someone with authority make their way to the Reichstag for an important discussion.
