Fizzydog Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Oscar walked into the legislative building, flanked by two body guards, armed with nothing but batons.

HHAYD Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Fizzydog' timestamp='1307567603' post='2727265'] Oscar walked into the legislative building, flanked by two body guards, armed with nothing but batons. He shook hands with the nearest by person. "Where is President Natas?" [/quote] "He's waiting in conference room 371, it's on the third floor. The elevators are under repairs and the only staircase usable is all the way back. Also, please watch your step, we already had two people injured from tripping over broken floor tiles." the secretary replied, a bit loudly over the racking noise from the repair crews. It was quite obvious that the building had taken quite a bit of damage during the civil war. Burn marks throughout the building, swiss-chessed walls and ceiling, occasional wires and pipes sticking out from the floors/walls/ceilings, dumpsters filled with debris from cleanup crews, taped-off sections of the building with "Do not enter" signs and lots more damages.

Fizzydog Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Oscar glanced at his body guards. "Alright, thank you." Once he finished the long walk up the back stairs, Oscar began looking for conference room 371. Once he found it, he knocked rather loudly on the door, then stepped in. "Hello, President Natas."

Sorry about all of the construction noise, this place got torn up pretty badly during the war, but was surprisingly still standing. My place? Just another pile of rubble." President Natas replied.

Since none of us brought any advisers or experts with us, I propose that we agree on a framework, set the deadline to three years from now and let our negotiators and legislative bodies fight over the details." President Natas replied as he pulled a sheet of paper and a pen from his suitcase and wrote a rough draft: [quote] Preamble: This framework will serve as the creation of an economical treaty between Midwest Republic and United States of America: Article 1: Once the economical treaty is agreed on and signed, Midwest Republic and United States of America will agree to not place tariffs, quotas, or any other restrictions on each others' trade. Article 2: To ensure neither country takes advantage of the other, both side will agree on unified environmental, labor, financial and general business regulations. Article 3: Both counties will have at most three years from the day of the signing to agree on an unified environmental, labor, financial and general business policy. Article 4: It is optional for both countries to also unify departments that regulate environmental, labor, financial and general business policies. Article 5: The framework's deadline can be extended. [/quote] "Anything else to add, or delete?" President Natas asked.

Fizzydog Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 "All I suggest deleting is Article 5. We do not want this event to turn into a constant disagreement, or a circle of madness. The worst that could happen is the treaty is delayed to the point it will be useless. The deadline is 3 years, and that is a fact. If our countries cannot work together in that period of time, then the treaty should not exist in the first place. If you accept my idea, I shall sign this deal. Congress has given me authorization."
