The Scrooge McDuck Initiative (?)
The Principate of Esmer implements a strategic and gradual approach to invest heavily in global markets. With a focus on acquiring shares from foreign state or private companies, websites, foundations, and conglomerates, Esmer allocates vast sums to secure ownership stakes in key entities across various sectors.
This initiative involves meticulous research and targeted investments in companies that align with Esmer's economic interests and strategic objectives. The acquisition of shares is not limited to specific industries, as Esmer diversifies its portfolio to include technology, finance, energy, and other key sectors.
Simultaneously, Esmer encourages and actively participates in setting up Esmerian-owned businesses, organizations, shops, kiosks, semi-public libraries, and various online platforms. This investment strategy aims to expand Esmer's economic footprint globally while fostering entrepreneurship and innovation within its borders.
The Princeps, as the personal entity overseeing the initiative, utilizes surplus money from the GDP as a personal treasury. The Princeps, having accrued significant wealth over millennia, leverages these funds for personal investments and endeavors. This includes personal ownership of businesses, websites, and free real estate, establishing a direct link between the Principate's wealth and the personal treasury of the ruling entity.
In addition to acquiring shares in public companies, Esmer employs clandestine methods to discreetly influence global economic dynamics. This covert approach involves discreetly establishing partnerships with influential private entities, making strategic investments through intermediaries, and exerting subtle influence on international financial decisions.
Esmer, through strategic intermediaries, engages in confidential negotiations to acquire significant ownership in major conglomerates, shaping their policies in alignment with Esmer's interests. The Principate leverages its extensive network of operatives and financial experts to discreetly maneuver through global financial markets.
Simultaneously, Esmer subtly influences private organizations and foundations, directing funds and resources toward initiatives that align with its long-term objectives. These clandestine efforts are complemented by discreet lobbying and behind-the-scenes maneuvering to shape policies and decisions in favor of Esmer's economic agenda.
The Princeps, as the primary entity overseeing these clandestine endeavors, continues to accumulate personal wealth by strategically investing in high-return ventures. This involves discreetly supporting Esmerian-owned businesses and orchestrating intricate financial transactions that contribute to the Principate's financial growth.
Esmer employs covert tactics in the acquisition of free real estate, establishing a discreet network of properties strategically located to serve the Principate's interests. This includes undisclosed holdings in key areas, ensuring a subtle yet influential presence in various regions.
In navigating this complex web of clandestine economic influence, Esmer prioritizes discretion, relying on trusted agents and covert channels to achieve its economic objectives. These covert strategies aim to solidify Esmer's economic power on a global scale while maintaining a low-profile presence in the public eye, yet spending nearly the past years surplus plus personal patrician and princeps funds and resources, plus some if this year's surplus.

I don't like snow. Just like cold.
Red Mud Fields
The fields the color of blood, consisting of a mud-like substance that seemed to pull at the feet. On the fields, a large wooden and stone platform, upon which is a single structure constructed from the ship used by Katlen Xxion when she came to this land. The old ship was one of the few governmental buildings that had any semblance of modern technology. Light blasted from stadium lights repurposed to light the platform. Inside the old structure, lightbulbs that barely work shine, casting a yellowish glow upon the bare interior. Spotty air conditioning is what keeps the building bare able in the summer, but heating does not exist, replaced by a fireplace that barely let any smoke out through the small air hole.
It was a structure that showed the spotty conditions of the country. Even one of the governmental buildings of the country, one paid for by the government, was one which any outside the country would find deplorable. But the people of the country would kill to live in.
In the building, in the foray that used to be the central Hold, a meeting was going on. Four of the most prominent players in the Arembolian civil war, soldiers from the sides waiting out side.
Rogan sat facing the door upon one of the only chairs. Francis Capircorn, the current leader of the Order of the Blue, sat with his back to the wall laying on the right wall, relative to the door. Finally, of the faction leaders, the elusive General of the Peasants Alliance sat against the left most wall. Finally, of those there, was the Head Priestess of Poisson, lady Hunter Janice, sat directly across from Rogan. The four sat in tense silence, as they had for the past twenty minutes.
Three weeks since the massacre had occurred on the road to Spiringard. Three weeks since Rogan asked for a ceasefire and meeting between the major faction leaders. So they had come here, to the place where Katlen landed that century before.
With no conversation, the four leaders' thoughts ran free.
Rogan's head was filled with embarrassment and a tiredness.
Francis's head held thoughts about what he could instill upon his enemy's, the doubt and fear he could hold on Rogan.
The General's head held a pride, bolstred by the fact he knew he was the strongest of the four and could easily kill them all with just his hands. He also looked around the structure, seeing what he could fix once Rogan was . . . deposed.
Lady Hunter's thoughts were ones of which she could use this time these . . . men into her religion, under her rule.
Finally, Rogan broke the silence.
"You know why I called the ceasefire," he begins. "You know I am not in the best place as of the current events, and I realize that I must be very convincing here, the first time the three of us." He paused and looked over at the Matriarchal lady. "And the esteemed lady Hunter were gathered in a single building." An impatient sound comes from the General. Rogan glances at him. "Eherm, well I am here to discuss terms of- of surrender."
The three around him were all surprised. Spiringard was an important battle, but none of them had thought it would be this important. Francis was surprised and amused, his lithe body shaking in merriment. The General let out a slight chuckle as he realized why the battle was so important, as Edogan Pass was now within his reach. For her part, the Lady kept the sternest manner. She was surprised at this, but she was already thinking how she could turn this to her favor.
Rogan was unaware of the access to the Pass until after the battle, when the Quartermaster told him of the access. He knew the peasants could get to Gerriad now, and he knew it was only a matter of time until he fell to the General. So, he had called this cease in hopes of him surrendering before he and his wife lost their heads, and before his men were either killed or drove out.
The Lady was the first to speak, she having never lost her composure, and so was the first to regain it. "And what does this mean for Arembolia? Surely Francis will do something, even after you surrender the title to the General here. And what about myself? I may have not had troops on te field, but I have as much in steak here as you three. What about us?"
Rogan grimaced at this. He had been hoping that this would not be brought up, but he mused it was bound to happen, as he sees Francis nodding along and the General considering the words. But he had a trick up his sleeve.
"Now of course," he states, "I must surrender to the General here, as he has the clearest path to wipe me and mine out, but that does not mean I have nothing for you two, as you also have a strangle hold, Francis on sea and Hunter here on . . . other assets." He sends her a knowing look, and she lets the slightest of smiles on her lips. "I, for one, believe this war has gone on long enough, and I feel I am not the only one here, or in this country. So I propose my surrender conditions."
The three are also surprised at this. They had thought that Rogan would not provide these, but the surprise left Rogan the perfect avenue to continue.
"I could continue my stand for the next year, I believe, and I do not wish to see more war and death. And even once the General breaches my defenses, what is not to say my fleet and I have not already punched through Francis here? And where does that leave you all? The Lady will not have much of a hold, correct? Yes. Francis will be weakened, for he must have realized my fleet has the ability to escape, though not without casualties. Then the General here will have had to battle another year, suffered more casualties, for an even more broken nation and no crown nor revenge.
"However, that does not have to happen, for I propose my surrender and my plan. First, the General here can take the crown and the nation of Arembolia, for I am sure he will finally take us out of our derogatory state and bring us closer to the modern age. However, he has no connections like Francis nor I have, and Francis has more and better, so he could assist the General and still have a hand in a nation, at a level on par with a king, perhaps? And the Lady here, she could have full control over the religious sector and assist in rebuilding the stores of this nation."
The three consider this. Several minutes later, Francis speaks.
"And where does this leave you? Us all wish to have our revenge, and so do many in this nation. What will happen to you?"
Rogan stood, and knelt before the three. "If you leave my wife, Hal, and those who had been loyal to me sparred, then you all may do with me as you wish."
The three glance at each other. This was unexpected.
Lady Huter speaks. "I feel we will need few days to mull this over."
Rogan stands. "Expected. You three hold the cards. I hope you three do the smart thing."
And the meeting ends, the four and their guards returning to their capitals.

Do you make those In Disptaches?

Question, can I post an issue draft if I use a spoiler Example: [spoiler=Example] :) [/spoiler]
Evinagioni
Yes. Rosa is one of the best dispatch maker in the world :)
Go on I'm curious to see your draft. I'd like to try issue drafting one day too :p
20 Miles from the coast of Arembolia, The Kraken
The Kraken is a large ship, made in the standards of the modern times with iron plating and modern weaponry. The ship itself was clean, something you don't see often in Arembolian land or water. Janitors and mechanics inspect the ship often, making sure the ship was clean and still working.
The ship is the pride and joy of Francis Capircorn, the captain and leader of the Order of the Blue. This day, a day after the meeting on the red mud fields, the man was deep in thought. He was considering what Rogan had said. Francis could see the good that could come out of following the plan, but he could not shake the fact that the man was not telling the full truth. He felt that there was something more going on. Rogan had been in dire straits before, and he had always bounced back. This is the first time Rogan had called for ceasefire, the first time he had given up.
Also, there was Lady Hunter. While she was a Priestess of Poisson, the god of the sea, he did not like her. There was just something up with her, like she knew something more . . .
The General was the only known factor for, and that was because the two held a ceasefire since the beginning, and the two had assisted each other. Francis knew the General, and Francis knew that he would likely take up the deal.
Francis made up his mind. He called for his aide.
"Write this down," he commands.
"While we do agree with what you stated, Rogan, we must not take up your offer. While we are friends with the General, and while he has surely taken your offer, we cannot agree. Ready yourselves, for, in curtesy, tell you this so you may prepare. Forward this to the General, for he should surely wish to know what we would say.
-signed-
Lord Francis Capircorn, the new King."
"Sir, what do wish me to do with this letter?" the aide asks, a little terrified by the prospects ahead.
"You know well enough. Send it to Rogan."
Forty-five minutes later, a small boat leaves for Gerriad, carrying a courier and the letter that could spell the final doom of Arembolia.
Spirepost, the Spire of Poisson
Spirepost is the main alter for Poisson, and it exists as the capital for the faith. Situated to the south of Arembolia, the spire is the homebase for Lady Hunter and her people. The spire itself was constructed out of a naturally formed sea spire, and over the last dozen years, the Lady has ordered the construction of a fortress on and in it. In current times, the spire is nearing finish, some outer facades and the peak is all that remains, as well as several rooms towards the lower end.
Inside the central room, a massive cathedral-like area stretching 3 stories and taking up nearly all three floors, a massive alter lays, the central alter to Poisson. The room was strangely silent. There were none coming to pay their respects to their god. The only person in the room was Lady Hunter, the head priestess of Poisson, and a lesser, male, priest. Lady Hunter at the altar, thinking over what she should do. The priest, a trainee and one of the few male priests to Poisson, was cleaning a mess created by a male worshipper during a pilgrimage.
The Lady was deep in thought, thinking about the meeting and what she could and should do. She thought about taking the offer. It was a good, one, giving her power. However, like the others, she wanted full power, and ruling religious sector was not enough. Like Francis, she did see how weird it was that Rogan had seemingly just given up, as that did not fit what he would do.
She then thought about what she could do. She had refrained from the war thus far, and she knew that her soldiers were the best trained. However, she had a small force, numbering only at six hundred. She did consider appealing to some of the eastern, more theocratic countries for help, but she did not feel that they would take kindly to her as she followed a different religion to them.
Thus, she was left in thought, until she had an amazing idea.
She called for one of her high priestesses.
"Ready the soldiers. We go to Gerriad for . . . peace talks."
Spiringard, the General's tent
The General sat deep in thought. The surrender was a little odd, no doubt, but he could not ignore that an end to the war was here now. All the conflict of the part decades could be brought to a close. All in one peace summit.
He decided to head to Rogan's city himself, with an army.
Eight hundred troops mobilized in ten minutes, and twenty minutes later, they started the march.
The General would join the meeting with eight hundred soldiers behind him.

Warning: a very big one and may take a bit to read
[spoiler=DRAFT 2]
(Based on the Lusitania)
Title: Submarine Assault
Validity:
None
[DESC] A Mail Ship sank early morning on the Ocean by an nearby country, taking the lives of countless people, including some of your people. People rush in to decide what you want to do
[OPTION 1]
"THIS IS CRAZY!" Say @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@ while reading the paper. "I say we make this country pay for the cost of that ship! Now honestly we never had good relations with this country so why should we let it aside? I mean it, they can sink a ship while they play dirty under the water!" @@HE@@ storms out before anyone can react.
[EFFECT] officials plead for repayment
[OPTION 2]
"Seriously, we should do more than ask." says @@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@," we need to make them lose their economy and then they will regret firing, they are heavy exporters of gas and oil, that is what their economy depends on these trades in order to keep them stable. Lets convince every country who uses their gas and oil to stop and use ours, we can make it cheaper and they will surely agree if we do"
[EFFECT] Crash in Gas and Oil
[OPTION 3]
"I say we need new ways of transporting goods." says a man who drives a lot, with a pocket full of speeding tickets. "I say ships are not a modern technology anymore and cars and trains are new and improved. many people rather drive and or ride a train to make a quick trip but a ship is slow, and not very modern anymore. So, I say we build a global highway and railway! it can have gas stations for cars, food stops like Mburger or Ecola in shops. We can use bullet trains to zoom across the tracks and they will make it a quick cross."
[EFFECT] Nobel for construction of global highway and railway
[OPTION 4]
"All of these ideas are simply silly" Says your Ministry of Warfare. " Our army could use real war training, YES! I'm saying we go to war for this incident, it took the lives of our people, our allies people, and lots of money put into that ship. And think about the cargo, it was worth 10,000 @@Currency@@ and it was lost to @@RANDOMNATION@@ and they think they can get away from it? NO, they will pay for this. GO TO WAR SIR!"
[EFFECT] Troops out of the barracks.[/spoiler]

Should I try making one, I started this account a while ago but I have never made a dispatch so Im completely now. would love some advice on how to make one.
Evinagioni
First dispatch? Ok
DO NOT DO A TEXT WALL. Bascially, paragraphs and formatting is your friend.
Do not bite off too much. Keep it simple, and make sure you are ready and willing to write it.
Formatting is your friend. Even something as simple as what I have is better than nothing.
But, yeah, some simple things to do.
Adriatic Democratic Empire
Thanks, That helps a lot, Im still not sure about what to write about.
So, do you have an idea for your nation? Government, religion, military, anything like that?
Post self-deleted by Adriatic Democratic Empire.
No ideas? You have no ideas?
well, I have always wanted to write An account of a war.
Got any ideas for said war? Like who was it against, what time period did it take place, stuff like that.
But I have no idea how to start it Or from What perspective
Ok, I think Ive got it, Its a civil war, It starts Because the Heir to power Unexpectedly died, frollowed by the current ruler. The senate, goes into panic mode and Begin to muster armies To have aclaim to the throne
Dairyc
Well, who would have been players in the war? Maybe a soldier who had been on the front lines, or a general who had made plans? And to start, maybe it is like a journal or a collection of stories from people who had been in the war. With that, you could start with a battle, or what camp life was like.
Adriatic Democratic Empire
Awesome. Civil wars are always cool.
And then, from this, you could create your government and some history.
Adriatic Democratic Empire
Ooh. That sounds interesting. That sounds like a fun read.
Ah. Same, but I do sometimes get lost in writing sometimes.
Adriatic Democratic Empire
I Have a bunch Of free time rn So Ill Give it a go
Hope it goes well
