New Age of Exploration (RD-2006-24)

HIS ROYAL MAJESTY August Charles II, By the Grace of God King of Gotzborg, Archduke of Reichlau, Grand Duke of Lucerne, Marshal of the Union of Seven Nations, Lord of the Border Marches, Admiral of the Southern Reaches, Duke & Grand Elector of Jutien, Count Kendal does hereby send greetings;

Friends and Visitors alike,

The great world of Geiss opens up many great opportunities for two things which Gotzborg considers its forte, exploration and colonialism.

With the 'discovery' of the continents of Sottica and Iotnargard on our planet, as yet heretofor unexplored, Our great Royal Navy is take the lead and becoming the vanguard of our new age of exploration.

As we speak, three squadrons of ships have been mustered from Our Reserves, each with a specific mission of exploration.

IOTNARGARD SQUADRON, which will depart Gotzborg and bound for Iotnargard via Lusatia, is by far the largest, and having the greatest distance to travel, will be accompanied by a larger contingent of Royal Marines, supplies and fuel in order to allow them a greater range and travel distance.

SOTTICA SQUADRON, has the same mission, however their group is smaller to reflect their shortened distance.

The SOUTH POLAR SEAS SQUADRON has by far the most challenging mission. As well they have the mission to explore, however there is very little to no information on any existing landmasses, or other major formations on any current maps. It is expected that weather will be extreme as well as the pressures of pack ice upon the hulls of the ships, and both ships of the Squadron are currently undergoing addition of extra systems to manage these realities.

While the focus of the nation is upon our booming economy and foreign relations, We would ask all citizens to adopt the enthusiasm and excitement of this new age of exploration. Those people who are interested in joining any of these expeditions are encouraged to contact me directly.

Our opportunities for creativity are great and many. Let go forward together as the sun rises in this new dawn.

August Charles II King of Gotzborg
