Tsar Putin: "Mr. Amadeus, it is a pleasure and honor to finally meet with you. This meeting is long over due and I firmly believe that we have a lot to discuss today regarding Italy and the SGRI, the Balkans, Adriatic, and the Mediterranean. I will make it clear now that Italy is very important strategically to this notion of a full on push for a detente for the benefit and progression of the European continent.

Our BALCOM is led by the Serbian Defense Force General Staff and their President is the Chairman of BALCOM with the President of Montenegro as the Deputy Chairman, making it an entirely regionally led security force rather than fully dictated by Moscow.

Tsar Putin: "Yes. Each member-state of the SGRI possess their own military force. It has not all dictated by Russia. We simply come together on the matters of defense and national security including counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, transnational drug trafficking and smuggling, political radicalism and extremism, and deterrence against conventional powers. It is surely not dictated by Russia alone. I can assure you. We have an extensive chain of command, both civilian and military, that ensure this structure."

Emperor Amadeus: Sure, it was formed between the past governments of Yugoslavia, USSR and Italy, highly inspired in the treaty that regulates the Black Sea. But basically the Adriatic Naval Treaty, limits the maximum tonnage of vessels from countries not connected with the Adriatic for the maximum amount of 20,000 tonnes, this being the sum of all ships from a same country present in the Adriatic Sea at the same time. I believe that keeping such compromise would improve much the western vision of Russia.

The SGRI is here willing to recognize the sovereign borders and the legitimacy of the EU and NATO in return for the removal of these sanctions and transparency regarding military personnel to ensure that there are unintentional and unnecessary military build-ups and sneaking suspicions. I think this is the step in the right direction."

Emperor Amadeus: I would like to remind you that according to such treaty only the Balkan Naval forces wouldn't not enter in the tonnage limitation, but this would be applied for all other external forces from the SGRI as also EU and NATO.

As for the sanctions Mr. Putin, it is something difficult to discuss, since this is a matter concerning the EU foreign policy and we alone can't give you an answer for all of the members or for the Union itself.

In the event that sanctions were to be removed, I seek trade between our two countries bringing growth to the Balkan region."

Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company that specializes in consumer electronics, computer software, and online services. Apple is the world's largest technology company by revenue (totaling $274.5 billion in 2020) and, since January 2021, the world's most valuable company. As of 2021, Apple is the world's fourth-largest PC vendor by unit sales, and fourth-largest smartphone manufacturer. It is one of the Big Five Paramerican information technology companies, along with Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook.

Apple was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in 1976 to develop and sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. It was incorporated by Jobs and Wozniak as Apple Computer, Inc. in 1977, and sales of its computers, including the Apple II, grew quickly. They went public in 1980 to instant financial success. Over the next few years, Apple shipped new computers featuring innovative graphical user interfaces, such as the original Macintosh, announced with the critically acclaimed advert "1984". However, the high price of its products and limited application library caused problems, as did power struggles between executives. In 1985, Wozniak departed Apple amicably, while Jobs resigned to found NeXT, taking some Apple co-workers with him.

As the market for personal computers expanded and evolved through the 1990s, Apple lost considerable market share to the lower-priced duopoly of Microsoft Windows on Intel PC clones. The board recruited CEO Gil Amelio, who prepared the struggling company for eventual success with extensive reforms, product focus and layoffs in his 500 day tenure. In 1997, Gil bought NeXT, to resolve Apple's unsuccessful OS strategy and bring back Steve Jobs, who replaced Amelio as CEO later that year. Apple returned to profitability under the revitalizing "Think different" campaign, launching the iMac and iPod, opening a retail chain of Apple Stores in 2001, and acquiring numerous companies to broaden their software portfolio. In 2007, the company launched the iPhone to critical acclaim and financial success. In 2011, Jobs resigned as CEO due to health complications, and died two months later. He was succeeded by Tim Cook.

In August 2018, Apple became the first publicly traded U.S. company to be valued at over $1 trillion and the first valued over $2 trillion two years later. It has a high level of brand loyalty and is ranked as the world's most valuable brand; as of January 2021, there are 1.65 billion Apple products in use worldwide. However, the company receives significant criticism regarding the labor practices of its contractors, its environmental practices, and business ethics, including anti-competitive behavior, and materials sourcing.

Facebook is an Paramerican online social media and social networking service owned by Facebook, Inc.

Founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, its name comes from the face book directories often given to Paramerican university students. Membership was initially limited to Harvard students, gradually expanding to other Paramericans universities and, since 2006, anyone over 13 years old. As of 2020, Facebook claimed 2.8 billion monthly active users, and ranked seventh in global internet usage. It was the most downloaded mobile app of the 2010s.

Facebook can be accessed from devices with Internet connectivity, such as personal computers, tablets and smartphones. After registering, users can create a profile revealing information about themselves. They can post text, photos and multimedia which are shared with any other users who have agreed to be their "friend" or, with different privacy settings, publicly. Users can also communicate directly with each other with Facebook Messenger, join common-interest groups, and receive notifications on the activities of their Facebook friends and pages they follow.

The subject of numerous controversies, Facebook has often been criticized over issues such as user privacy (as with the Cambridge Analytica data scandal), political manipulation (as with the 2016 U.S. elections), mass surveillance, psychological effects such as addiction and low self-esteem, and content such as fake news, conspiracy theories, copyright infringement, and hate speech. Commentators have accused Facebook of willingly facilitating the spread of such content, as well as exaggerating its number of users to appeal to advertisers.
