OOC: How out of touch or shameless do you have to be to pester a place like Barbaria about their embassies and tags? A cursory look through their RMB makes it clear that it is a region focused on their own roleplay and a cursory look at their tags+embassies shows that they're open to strike an embassy with everyone w/out discrimination, but you come here to grandstand and pressure them? This isn't a newbie region where your fearmongering can bully them into tailoring their embassies to your political fetishism. Wild that you guys routinely stoop down to this tactic of "opening an embassy and then threatened to close it" tactic.

The Fifth Empire has an old and lasting (but casual and uninvolved) embassy with Barbaria b/c they're an old region that doesn't go with the flow of the rest of NS, they mind their own business, and they focus on long term and effort-based roleplay, which makes them prime candidates to be invited to future random inter-regional RP/cultural events w/out having to worry about the chronic neurotic drama that is all too present across the NS landscape.

They are entirely apolitical and I hope Barbaria is here to last.

Had the barbaria FA person decided not to run their mouth off mocking our people, I would of had no reason to respond. =)
Next time, don't be disrespectful and there won't be problems.

I didn't pressure anything, I stated my reasons for why we're closing embassies because their FA felt the need to imply that our people are "retarded and senseless". They can have whatever embassies they want, but that same right extends to our region as well and we don't want to associate with fascists or their sympathizers.

Had they graciously accepted that we don't want anything to do with them then everyone would of been on their way.

"prime candidates" - now that there is hilarious. Nobody else wants anything to do with fifth empire because that region is highly hated so no duh fifth empire will take what the region can get when it comes to "allies".
