Kazan 2024

Friends, I have a unique and, I think, fascinating essay about Edgar Allan Poe coming soonish. I’ve had it for months, though for reasons I may explain later, it has been temporarily out of my hands. I think you're gonna like it.

This fall, the BRICS+ nations will convene in Kazan. Their primary purpose is the official unveiling of the “BRICS-PAY” (aka, the upgraded “MIR-CIPS” network) commercial transactions facilitation system. Much else will be happening as well. I would like to attend. Furthermore, I would like to attend as your representative. I hereby request your nomination as Confederate States emissary in Kazan. Don’t worry; I know where the city is and I have a rough A1 command of the host language.

Accordingly, I need the following from the Southern government:​

Travel funds (in Rubles if at all possible, and I'm looking at a ₽5 million budget);

Diplomatic credentials;

Current SWIFT transfer protocol codes for the Dixie central bank and all relevant commercial banks along with any and all niche hosting and transfer infrastructure design requirements (send engineers with me if you can);

Any concerns about agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, economic development, cyber security, education, military operations or wares, and other issues of importance; 

Input about seeking membership or observer status in BRICS+ or any other sovereign multipolar organization; and,

Any other subjects or information you feel are important.

Please try to provide all of this by the middle of June at the latest. With the South in firm control of her destiny, we need to keep the ball rolling into the vibrant future. If you are a representative of the CSA government with decision-making authority, please make your suggestions in the comments here, including your name, office, and contact information. Thank you.

Deo vindice.
