Max DeVirgo, Guildmaster,
His majesty feels that, using any form of police, military or security force of any other kind that is not native to Gallia itself, would be an insult that those who are ; to his true troops. Therefor, his majesty has seen fit to deny your request. He also wishes to inform you that the person whom you contacted before is the Grande Marechal of his armies.
Noah Sherwood,
Your request has been accepted.
His word is law,
The Administration of border affairs.
To: The Office of His Majesty, King Charles XI, Sovereign of the Kingdom of Gallia
From: Caius Oakley, Orbital Spa and Cruise, Curacao.
Your Majesty,
Greetings and Salutations. We at Orbital Spa and Cruise, cognisant of the astute constraints demarcated by your office to us at OSC in general and Thomas Dering in particular, hasten to assure you that this missive is not a repeat request for a visa to transport passengers and other hoi-polloi across your sovereign space.
Rather, this is a request on behalf of those who partake of the delights on offer at Baden-Baden, Curacao, The Hawaii and The Shetland, which naturally, we would be honoured, if a state visit could be arranged, to ensure that our efforts exceed your expectations. To this end, there are some commodities freely available within the borders of Gallia that are considered rare and exotic delicacies here in the humble outreaches of Sirius. I am, of course, referring to the magnificent vintage wines, the intoxicating tobaccos that your worthy subjects have cultivated to beyond that we in Sirius could ever hope to match, and the Holo-tainment Bands that are the craze amongst the fashionable here in Sirius.
Since your August Personage has permitted a few, chosen, entrepreneurs access to these stocks, our clientèle are verily clamouring for these delights, and our meagre stocks, selected from a limited supply, have been exhausted.
This has caught us on the prongs of a two-horned dilemma; Orbital Spa and Cruise are The premier holiday destination, and we remain so purely through our dedication to our maxim; Our Customers Deserve Nothing But The Very Best. Firstly, our reputation as the holiday destination for the elite is endangered, and secondly, we are deeply concerned that should your Eminence's Household deign to grace us with your patronage, we would be unable to supply you with the most basic of viticultural provisions, as they are sought all over Sirius, and only available to those with the right relationship with the Sovereign of Gallia.
In short, we crave an indulgence from your Distinguished Majesty; permission for Trade vessels bearing the Orbital Spa and Cruise logo, Captained by bona fide OSC employees, to enter the borders of Gallia and procure small quantities of commodities, so that we might be able to provision, at a moment's notice, any one of our resorts in the style in which you are rightfully accustomed.
We do, of course, offer to you a consignment of the very best in Luxury Consumer Goods, which we will be more than pleased to present to you on Planet Nevers, in the system of Burgundy. We would like to make it clear that this consignment is a gift, freely given by the offices of Orbital Spa and Cruise, and is yours to keep, irrespective of the outcome of your decision.
Douglas Riche
VP-Legal [IND] Representative

Orbital Spa and Cruise,
You may come and go as you please when you are carrying goods, not personnel or vacationers. Gallia has only recently opened it's borders and currently does not trust the Sirian corporations enough when it comes to screening their clients who wish to go into Gallia.
Douglas Riche,
What is currently in demand will be discussed over private channels after the end-year celebrations. Contact us over a secure channel then.
His word is law,
The administration of border affairs.

Greetings, monsieur ou madame that may be receiving this transmission.
The Independent Communist Miners' Guild has received your transmission from our former offices on Dounby, within Orkney - or Rousillion, as we believe it is known to you. We would be most interested in trading with your beautiful nation some time in the near future, as we are capable of providing many different goods to those who ask for them.
The ICMG wishes to know whether permission for a limited number of vessels to operate in Gallia for the sole purposes of seeing what the supply and demand is like in Gallia, as well as perhaps bringing these goods into Gallia, would be possible to achieve. We are willing to answer most any questions that may be posed, in reference to us or other Sirian groups - the ICMG are a peaceful people, and wish to see all mankind grow and prosper, and live in harmony - we feel that engaging in trade relations with your, undoubtedly, powerful kingdom is an excellent step, one step closer to meeting this end, and learn more about, what is to Sirians, a long-lost culture.
Eagerly awaiting your reply, [font=Comic Sans Ms]David Grigori, ICMG SoC
End Transmission.

Subject: Salutations!
Bonjour, Your Majesty. I wish to offer my greetings on behalf of the Pizza Express Corporation, a respected leader in the Sirian food service industry.
We at Pizza Express wish to extend our operations into the Kingdom of Gallia. As you may be aware, Pizza Express has been serving the people of Sirius for years, providing diners sector-wide with quality pizza delivered fresh, hot and quickly. As our motto proudly states, "We Deliver Anywhere!"
If allowed into Gallia, Pizza Express can offer better service than any other fast food delivery service in Sirius. We carry a wide range of pizzas, from the basic cheese, pepperoni and meatlovers up to our new gourmet range, including Junyo Fisherman's Basket, Rheinland Smorgasbord and Bretonian Bangers 'n' Mash. We would also take the opportunity to study Gallic cuisine and try to incorporate the legendary French reputation for fine dining and unique culinary experiences into the development of new pizzas.
Pizza Express pizza is quality assured and delivered promptly. As a token of our willingness to demonstrate this, please use the coupon code GALVISA819 on the Pizza Express Neural Net site nn.pizzaexpress.sir, or quote it over the phone at the tollfree number 1-800-PIZZAEXPRESS, and you will receive two large pizzas, a loaf of garlic bread and a bottle of soda of your choice delivered anywhere you wish with our compliments.
Thankyou for considering our application, and remember:
"When you're tired and hungry and under some stress, pick up the phone and dial Pizza Express!"

David Grigori, ICMG Director of Commerce,
His majesty wishes to inform you that we currently have no need for a company that is uncertain of it's own intentions, especially when the vague intentions stated are currently not needed. Therefor, we must deny your request.
Charles Hargrave,
I saw it fit to personally deny your request on behalf of his majesty, as I do not wish to waste his time with it.
Douglas Riche,
We are currently in the process of establishing a contract between our two parties. It will be ready shortly for you to review.
His will is law,
The administration of border affairs.

Greetings, monsieur ou madame, it is unfortunate that you have seen fit to deny us entry into Gallia. However, if the Gallic people ever wish for any sort of Sirian goods that it has trouble getting its hands on, though I doubt that will be the case, the people of the ICMG are always looking for trade relations with anyone who has good intentions. Thank you for your time.
End Transmission.
Bonjour! My name is Charles Takeshi, I've come to offer a rather different business deal on behalf of Interspace Commerce. I've been tasked with repesenting Interspace Commerce in all matters concerning Gallia, and as the Gallic Metal Service, EFL Oil & Machinery and Ile-de-France Shipping are spanning out to trade in Sirius, we have interesting offers concerning their foreign status.
In exchange for a diplomatic foothold in Gallia, we'd like to offer the following.
Offices in our four main stations for your Corporations and Diplomatic Envoys. These stations orbit the captial planets of the four houses of Sirius, allowing for convenient access to whatever each house may offer.
Assistance for your Corporations in building relationships with the factions of Sirius, by putting in a good word for Gallic Corporations, we can assist in the creation and maintenance of stable trade routes.
Like I said before, we'd be interested in a diplomatic foothold in Sirius, as perhaps you are not interested in our Insurance possibilities, in which we are wholly understanding, we can ease the demand for your Corporations within Gallia, by assisting in the moving of cargo and other business opportunities.
Our intention is to build stable relations to Gallia, serving your King as we serve the houses of Sirius, we intend to help Gallia prosper and grow.
If there is anything else that you think we could assist with, not mentioned above, we would be more than happy to consider offers and requests.
