First Minuvans in Jesia
The ship approached a cloud of gray. It seemed like a thick fog. It was at that moment the ships intercom ordered all on board to put on the provided gas masks. When they were told they would need them, they didn't expect it to be so dense.
The ship miraculously navigated through the grueling smog, and approached. A towering city. Towers seemed to protrude from the ground, and reach far into the sky, yet scraps lay everywhere, and the waters were littered. The ship docked at Shihon port. Those that hadn't put on their masks beforehand quickly did so, before getting onto the dock, where they were expecting the representative for Jesia.
White : This... Isn't what I expected.
Hansen : Well sir, we often don't get what be expect.

Out from a automobile, someone steps out An important looking figure, dressed in an all black kimono. She walks to the ambassadors and greets them both
"Hajimemashite.... welcome to Jesia" she ways with a gentle bow "Our proud nation greets your proud nation. I hope your stay here is welcoming" She raises her palm and directs it to the city skyline behind her "We shall meet in the Imperial Palace, where we can conduct our business!"
On the city skyline, was a massive gargantuan building, with a pyramid like base and went up like a pillar, piercing the skies. "Are there any question before we make our way to the palace?"

White stares at the building in awe, until Hansen bumps him in the shoulder. He quickly regains focus. Ms. Hansen happily hands a basket filled with Minu blankets and souvenirs.
Hansen : We are glad to he welcomed here to such a magnificent country. Your buildings are magnificent and truly hold their own unique beauty. I believe we have no questions.
Hansen nods her head, as a smile would be pointless.
White : Actuallyyyy- how did you-
Hansen stomps on his foot, all while looking at the woman.
Hansen : I suppose we shall proceed.
White gives a glare, one that is unseen through the tinted glass over his eyes. The guards take positions on the sides of the two ambassadors.

The convoy makes way for the palace, driving through the city
All around, marvels of technology can be seen, the city is extremely industrial, with a workshop and store around every corner. Cars and people pass by, and lights flicker on and off Signs litter the skies, some sort of advertisements. Canals dig straight through street as well
An amazing sight to behold. Then they arrive to a helipad, where they are picked up by a helicopter, flying over the city. The once massive towers seem a little smaller now.
Then they make it to the Palace

The ambassadors are in awe from the very beginning. The city is unlike anything they have seen before. Their eyes,while hidden, are wide open as they leave the helicopter.
Hansen : Truly a magnificent city you have miss.
Mr. White stumbles as they proceed into the palace. The palace stretches high beyond the eye can see.
White : How tall is this place..?
Hansen gives a disapproving look. Though unseen.

She does not understand the question "I'm sorry, but I don't think this building has ever fallen before. However, your compliment about the city is noted"
They enter the palace, and arrive to a rail-line "We are arriving to the newly established foreign relation office."
Once they arrive, they make it to an elaborate conference room. With a red carpet and pristine wooden desk, a projector board lowers down to the west-side wall.
"Make yourself comfortable. We will have gift and food soon. Much gratitude for guest" she says with a bow
From the doors, enters several men bringing in some food Firstly, noodles in a broth Secondly, a filleted fish with the head remaining Third, squids on sticks

The ambassadors gladly accept the food. Dining into the elaborate and specially made dishes. While Mr. White compliments how great the food is, Ms. Hansen cannot help but wonder if those outside eat this well as well. She carefully stares at all the stunning architecture around her, comparing it to the scraps.
After dining, the ambassadors whisper to each other illegibly, and proceed to wait for what is next. Politely thanking the representative for the food.

"I hope you have enjoyed food" she says with a smile, "now I will give you short presentation on Jesia" The lights turn off and the projector on the wall lights up, showing a film
Hello foreigner and welcome to Jesia! The greatest nation in the world! We are an island nation with over a billion proud citizens, and are one of the largest economies in the world (According to the Jesian Statistics Bureau). Here, you will see the might and glory of Jesia who serves the Emperor! Who is the Emperor you may ask? Why, rest your feeble foreign brains, and let us explain. Long long ago, in a time before time even existed, the universe was dark and empty. The forces of darkness conquered all, but from the darkness came a light! The light of Lord Akira, the creator of the universe! Lord Akira cast a light against the darkness and filled the light filled universe with creation! Now Lord Akira rests upon the sky, shining his rays of light to the world. The Emperor is the direct descendant of Lord Akira, gifted to humanity and Jesia by the Lord, to guide us from the darkness of evil and to the light of prosperity! While we would enjoy telling you the lore of the Emperor, we have other things to speak of!
The projector then shows video of factories producing plastic goods and cars, giant digging machines mining resources from deep within the earth, and farmers harvesting rice from artificial greenhouses.
Our industry is unconquerable! We produce everything in Jesia ourselves, from our cars to our computers. Every machine is made with parts entirely produced in Jesia. Our food is grown in our specialized greenhouses, which can be found all around Jesia! We have dug deep into the ground, in massive underground mines to extract precious resources! The Jesian people under the guidance of the rising sun have done so many wonderful things!
The projector then shows the Imperial Palace with soldiers guarding it The State of Jesia works hard in cooperation with the Emperor to govern the people, and has done a glorious job! We hope that both your state of [INSERT COUNTRY HERE] can work in cooperation with the state of Jesia to build a prosperous future! The Emperor only desires peace in these times, and peacefully the world shall know the glory of Jesia! Peacefully, the light of Lord Akira shall shine upon both our nations, and we will see the glory of the Emperor!
The video ends
"Any questions?"

Under his mask, White frowns. Ms. Hansen smiles and turns to the woman. She is better trained at handling diplomatic trips, which is why she found Mr. White as such a nuisance.
"It is truly amazing how your nation was able to rise despite isolation. How were you able to do so?"
She tilted her head, trying to show some interest. In her head, she was questioning.

"We estimate that your world produces over two billion tons of waste a year... that is just a conservative estimate. Most of that, go into the ocean. The currents washed up trash on our beaches long ago... we saw the first nuts and bolts long ago. Under the glorious command of our Emperor.... we took apart what we found, and invented and reversed engineered our way into advancement. Later on, more trash washed up upon our shores however that wasn't enough still. Adventurers and pirates went out in the world in secrecy to bring back important technologies and resources. However, this is old tales. We no longer need to reverse engineer. We have advanced so much that we figured out how to create without the help of the outside world. Everything in modern Jesia is created with Jesian minds and Jesian technology. You inadvertently helped us without even knowing it" she says with a grin
She then sits down and asks a question "What other questions do you have for us?"

Both ambassadors look at each other. Neither seem to have any more questions.
Hansen : "I believe that is my only ques-"
White : "How do you think the outside world is?"
Hansen gives a look of disapproval before the woman answers.

She ponders for a second, finger resting on chin, and finally answers
"Foreign language are hard to understand. However, from what we found, we only know this. The world is filled with chaos and other country, many of them advanced, many of them poor. We know that the world has global economy and many country fight and ally with each-other. However, we do not understand or know much. There is also more technology we do not know exist, like this space technology or airplane technology."

Hansen nods, happy with the answer. White seems less content but nods.
Hansen : "Thank you miss, I believe that is all our questions"
They both nod and wait for what the woman has to say next.

"Ahem.." she coughs "Jesia is willing to cooperate and partnership with other country, including your. We ask for partnership with other nations, seeking to do business with them. We can offer you our technology and goods, in exchange that you allow our companies to operate in your land. We have so much to give to the world, and we are excited to trade!"

The ambassadors eye each other. They were tasked to have diplomatic relations no matter the cost, especially with Jesia. After a moment of deliberating between each other, they nod.
Hansen : We gladly agree to the circumstances.
Hansen holds her hand out to shake it with the woman.
