iKrolm Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) OOC: Closed & private to members, applicants, and those presenting requests to the Oceanic Union. IC: Selenarctos welcomes delegates to the third Oceanic Union forum, hosted in Manila. [quote][size="3"][b]Oceanic Unification Pact[/b][/size] In the interests of provincial stability, common defense, and unity, the peoples of Oceania come together in ratifying this pact as a symbol to themselves and a message for the world of the underlying paradigm shift which has occurred. From this moment forward Oceania asserts itself as a concrete sphere solidifying its rightful place among the world powers. Its armies, its economies, and peoples will live and exist in cooperation with one another and it is with this spirit and intention that the Oceanic Union is hereby established. [b]Article I: Sovereignty[/b] Each signatory recognizes the individual sovereignty of every other and in doing so pledges to refrain from any and all forms of aggression and interference which would be directed at any union member. [b]Article II: Supremacy[/b] This pact will preclude any and all other treaties and agreements including those with similar superseding language. [b]Article III: Governance[/b] The Bloc will be governed by a council of signatories, each signatory will be granted a single vote, and the final decision of the vote will rest with the sovereign of each signatory. Member states are permitted to delegate the vote however they see fit. The council will be given several core powers. 1) The council may amend the treaty with a favorable vote carrying unanimous consent. 2) The council through a majority may interpret the casus belli of a conflict, and thus determine the respective defenders and aggressors within the conflict. The decision would set the official interpretation for every signatory. 3) The council through a majority may eject a signatory. [b]Article IV: Mutual Defense[/b] An attack on sovereign territory of one signatory, or an unprovoked attack on any asset belonging to a signatory shall be considered an attack on all. [b]Article V: Optional Aggression[/b] Signatories are encouraged to cooperate as a coalition in all conflicts including those which are not defensive in nature. However, aggressive action on the part of a signatory does not oblige any other signatory to provide assistance in the effort. [b]Article VI: Military Cooperation[/b] Member nations agree to coordinate militarily and establish a central military advisory command drawing its leadership from all nations, and answering to the established council. [b]Article VII: The Asgeirsson Doctrine[/b] [url="http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/1624/oceania.png"]Map of The Asgeirsson Doctrine[/url] 1) An Oceanic Nation will be defined as having their capital and what is considered their homeland fall within the boundaries of the Asgeirsson Doctrine. All nations falling under this definition of Oceania are thereby offered into the Union as signatories. 2) Should a signatory fall, the fate of the territory will be decided by a majority of the bloc council. 3) Should a nation within the oceanic sphere collapse, the union will take priority in deciding its fate. Prior to a majority decision a bloc led protectorate will be automatically established. 4) Only Oceanic Central Powers may exist as signatories of this bloc. To become an Oceanic Central Power, a nation's capital must exist within the boundaries of the Asgeirsson Doctrine. Land inside the Asgeirsson Doctrine, belonging to a power other than an Oceanic Central Power, will be deemed colonial. 5) Outside political influence is detrimental to the Oceanic region and as such, further outside influence will not be tolerated. While present areas exist which are not governed by Oceanic Central Powers, this treaty is not a declaration of war against them. Their territory in Oceania ONLY will be defended by the bloc against foreign influence as per its location inside the Asgeirsson Doctrine. [b]Article VIII: Economic Cooperation & Rights of Passage[/b] 1) Each signatory agrees to an internal policy of free trade and economic cooperation, the abolishing of tariffs and trade restrictions of the Union. 2) Each member grants free right of passage to all civilian and military marine vessels and air traffic belonging to their fellow signatories. [b]Article IX: Termination and Disbandment[/b] 1) Any signatory may opt to withdraw from this pact at any point, all articles will remain in effect for a period of 48 hours thereafter. 2) Any signatory who violates Article I, IV, and VIII will be first notified of their violation, and if the violation continues. 3) A supermajority of the council (3/4’s) may move to dissolve the union. [b]Signed for Selenarctos,[/b] [i]Antonio Pilar[/i], Second Economic Director [i]Marcelo Bonifacio[/i], First Security Director [i]Pacita Arellano[/i], First Popular Director [b]Signed for Grand Papua,[/b] [i]Provisional Council of Grand Papua[/i] [b]United States of Oceanesia,[/b] [i]Department for Oceania, Ministry of Foreign Affairs[/i] [/quote] [quote] Council Resolution: Per a majority vote of Council Members, the United States of Oceanesia has been granted an exclusion from Articles IV, V, and VI to pursue a policy of neutrality.[/quote] Edited March 23, 2012 by iKrolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iKrolm Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Markus Wilding' timestamp='1296770468' post='2618222'] First off, we are not a "dictatorship". We are a socialist republic. Second, we have no plans on annexing any of Western Australia unless a public plebiscite is held in the areas and the citizens vote to join our state. Third, we ask that the Australian Free State wait for the members of the Oceanic Union. Although we are not members of the pact, we do think that the Australian Free State is a bit pushy in their request.

king of cochin Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 [u][b]Private to Oceanic Union[/b][/u] Greetings, Several years ago during the time of a former Oceanic nation, Acca Dacca, Cochin Space Research Organization used to operate CSRO Station Buka, a scientific research and astronomical communications center in the Buka Island in the Bougainvillea Province of Papua New Guinea Island. A succession of anarchies and various political disturbances forced the shutting down of the Station, however with a recent upsurge in Space Research activities of Cochin Space Research Organization reactivation of the Station Buka has become imperative. The [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=76127"]dossier[/url] of agreement signed with the erstwhile Acca Dacca nation is being mailed along with this communication and we only hope that the operation of the Station along the same conditions albeit with Oceanic Union as the enabler could continue. Yours Sincerely, KP Varma, Minister of External Affairs, Kingdom of Cochin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKrolm Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Selenarctos would have no objection to the Kingdom of Cochin resuming work in New Guinea. The region has been fully stabilized and while we are in the process of organizing a new government, it is doubtful the new government would object to Cochin either.

Aggressivenutmeg Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 The Australian Free State feels that, with tensions between Pihana and our communist allies so high, Pihana should become a signitory, as this would also create tensions between the OU and Red Dawn. We vote NO, at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iKrolm Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 With the collapse of the Australian Free State, we have removed their signature from the document and removed their vote from issues currently on the table. With regards to the admission of Zoedoe Islands, Selenarctos votes aye. With regards to the admission of Pihana, Selenarctos changes our vote to abstain until current events are resolved. With regards to the administration of space facilities in New Guinea, the matter is no longer up to the Oceanic Union and Selenarctos refers the Cochin representative to discuss matters with the representative from Zoedoe. Current Votes on the table: Admission of Pihana: 0 yes / 0 no / 1 abstain Admission of Zoadoe Islands: 2 yes / 0 no / 0 abstain With a majority vote in favor of the admission of Zoadoe Islands, we welcome the Zoadoe Islands to the Oceanic Union and await their signature.
