Glorious Aotearoa cannot see the problem with this application. We vote in favour. Membership for Aiginor: Yes: 1 We also table an amendment. This amendment will need a simple majority to pass. Amendment to the Pax Yes: 1

It does not. Let it be noted that your Zone has been respected. The Definition of our EEZ is freely available, and in accordance with it, no waters of other nations have been infringed. OOC: Say it publicly or F on out of here. I'll assume you did say it publicly. IC: Killing? How are we doing that? It is noted that there is free and open passage through our EEZ for any nations commercial ships. And waste of money? These waters allow us to decentralize mining, water mineral extraction and fishing so that strain on parts of our EEZ is relieved.

OOC: LOOK. Its a thing in development today, hence it is a First World item, and if you want to use it and have it do anything (ie WORK) you will need 1500+ tech. END OF STORY.

OOC: Its a development armour, so First world restricted. 1500+ tech needed. This technology has not yet been introduced on any known operational platform.

OOC: facepalm. If you ever get on IRC I'll explain exactly why this will never, never ever work.

Please Clarify. Is Tahoe a Pacific Nation, or is a North American Nation? Common sense would put it as a North American Nation, however, if you want to be classified as a Pacific Nation, then please inform us. The slight problem is that as a North American Nation, you have the ability to sign articles like this, however, while holding your colony of Hawaii, it is highly hypocritical. As a Pacific nation, it would not be hypocritical, however, you would have no right or ability to sign these articles. As a nation Tahoe is entitled to the courtesy of controlling its own land. We just wish for you to admit you own a colony (and hence are highly hypocritical in signing these articles) or for you to preserve your integrity by releasing it.

Are not the nations of the Pacific entitled to the same curtsey regarding our ocean?

To the first point, we do not. To the second, geographically, you have a colony. Thank you for admitting it. Now we could compare some fairly simple characteristics about your colony and any possible colony in the Americas. Has to be separated from the home nation. Hawaii: yes, American Colony: yes. Socially, politically, economically part of the home nation. Hawaii: yes, American Colony: yes in this age of rapid communication. Has to have existed long enough that most nations accept it. Hawaii: yes, American Colony: yes, given time. So, we find that unless you wish to have your nation portrayed as highly hypocritical, we doubt you shall present much resistance to other nations forming colonies in the Americas. They never said that northern russia nor iceland were part of the North American Continent. And they are not, just like hawaii. And since your Articles are based on political / social change should not the definition of the American Continents be based on Geography? On that note, please issue a formal, comprehensive statement showing the lands defined to be part of the American Continents.

Unless the Republic of Free Somal can cite treaty obligations, Aotearoa will have to cite our own, and prevent this force from reaching and invading Yamato

OOC: Melvin Republic must post its own military movements.

The problem is that even though DE were the ones to declare war, it was a defensive move caused by the MDP with Lu. Hence, DE is the defendant, and Yamato still the aggressor. We have no obligation to aid Yamato. If a nation with no MDP to Lu attacks then we will have to mobilize.

Which would be correct reasoning if you are you ally were the same nation, however, you are not, so you did declare war in a defensive sense on Yamato. No more discussion of this shall be entered into here.

You mean to say, for many years those islands have been the colonial possession of nations mainly resting on the North American Continent during which time the native population has died out, and we will use that as basis for a complete perversion of geographic logic. Of course the signatories of the Articles would consider them part of the american continent, they wish to revel in their hypocrisy by forcing other nations to give up their colonies while retaining their own. Good day.

Indeed, we are not required to defend that nation. It is an aggressor, and Glorious Aotearoa does not consider the Declaration of War from the Dragon Empire to change that as it was a defensive recognition of consequence. So, no forces will need to be deployed yet.

Thats is immature, backwards and laudable. All of Aotearoan Islands are considered part of Australia? What nonsense. Our lands and waters stretch far and wide, including ones such as the Pitcairns and Rapa Nui, much closer to south america than anything else. What about the line islands? They are only slightly further from North America than Hawaii, and obviously closer to that than Australia. So, we simply dismiss your fantastical claims that Glorious Aotearoa is an Australian nation, with all its islands considered Australian. Secondly, Although Hawaii is closer to North America, it seems that you cannot grasp the idea that islands in the middle of an ocean do not need to be arbitrarily forced into classification with a continent.
