Owned-You Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Ignacio had sat in silence the entire forum simply observing the other speakers make their points. He would simply listen and type down notes on his laptop in order to keep up with the variety of talking points being made at this conference. After a few speakers the conference itself would soon devolve into chaos as these speakers would soon begin shouting at each other as some attempted to make the focus on geopolitical concerns and others on economics. Finally Ignacio would grow tired of this aimless squabbling and quietly stand from his seat and begin to speak. "If I may have your attention for a moment. I have a few words I'd like to say.[i]"[/i] Ignacio would wait until the room was drenched in silence; a condition that had long since been absent in the room of unwieldy leaders yelling across the aisles at one another. He would begin. "Thank you for your attention... now I will start by saying I am deeply unimpressed by the conduct many of you have displayed tonight. When I was dispatched from New Spain by order of the King it was under the impression that it would be a serious effort to expand American cooperation with one another. Not become a forum to promote jingoism or egotism from American states hijacking the values of freedom as a facade for these aims. Additionally, when I arrived here it wasn't in order to entertain some grand idea of a Pan-American defense pact or economic cartel or anything of the sort... Why would New Spain be interested in entering a pact with newborn nations that we have never ever spoken too in an official capacity? The idea is simply ludicrous and speaks to the naivety that has swept this land and more importantly this conference. You cannot simply bring about a conference of regional leaders and slap down a treaty with pretty clauses demanding this and that without any prior communication. It simply does not work like that. Now, I understand many of you feel threatened by foreign powers and the guise of "colonialism" as some of you have called it. But the idea that you wish to simply chain up all our countries together in an effort to demand the expulsion of foreign powers from American lands is ridiculous. Or may I remind some of the parties here that New Spain is not native to this land? We are Spaniard's by blood and by the blood of our soldiers we have carved out a Kingdom. And by that blood we will remain entrenched there until the lord returns anew and the Kingdom of Heaven is proclaimed to reign over this land. Until then the Kingdom returns however, New Spain will remain in America and beyond. Lastly, while some of you are stuck in the archaic 20th century mind of thinking with protectionism and non-sense about America for Americans. New Spain is continuing to strive for the future by making headway with other like-minded powers. To put it simple, Globalism is here and it's here to stay. So it would serve many of you a great deal of good to accept that and live accordingly; not threaten New Spain, Athens, Tianxia, France, Kuklos, California, or any other power with it's roots from another land with these underlying threats of violence." Ignacio would finish his comments and continue standing with an expression of displeasure; the kind a father gets when his child has made a mockery of himself in public. He was already anticipating the replies of his peers, expecting some to be offended others to be taken aback and speechless and the few parties with sense to be relieved that New Spain did not share the seem idealistic views that had thus far dominated the conference.

Fizzydog Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 At the door of the UN building Harold Cheve stopped upon hearing the faded speech from New Spain. Once he heard it was over, he stepped back into the room, and called out from the doorway, his voice weak from the lack of a microphone in the massive hall. "My friend from New Spain, there is a mighty difference between imperialism and globalism. Learn it." With that, he finally walked out the UN doors and headed for his cab.

Tanis777 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Suiza' timestamp='1326475394' post='2898841'] President Wilmington nodded his head, "Vizier Church, you have my support. Through all of this mess, we are finally begining to press on some headway." Taking the podium to address the whole forum, "I realise now that even Mutual Hemispherical Defense is just as exclusive an agreement as ATOPEN. Let each delegation speak on which ever agreement would involve them, but more importantly let us re-engage in conversation of common issues, as Vizier Church had stated." Pulling a paper from inside his coat as he headed back to his seat, he began scribbling out portions of the document and writing in more to it. Folding up the large paper he dropped by Seretary O'Malley, who would presumably catch the note. It was a draft for a pact, and the outside portion read, "This draft has shared with me by the Virginians, edited by myself for the general audience of the forum. Tell me what you think? [/quote] O'Malley wrote back, "We're going to need to make this treaty in baby-steps and grow it up further. I suggest tier levels of signatories. Here's my proposal." He would send this draft back to Wilmington and pass it on to Mara and Secretary Damon. Furthermore, more copies would be passed out to New Spain, Canada, Pravus Ingruo, and Kuklos. A post-it note would say, "This is a draft only, tell us what you think?" [b]Article I - Sovereignty[/b] Signatories recognize the sovereignity of each State of this Pact as well as the Hemisphere from which we hail, that each signatory shall endevour to respect all others.

Owned-You Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ignacio would rise from his seat completely annoyed with his time having been wasted. "This whole debacle was nothing short of a joke. If anyone wishes to speak to New Spain in an official capacity then you may do so on your own time; not mine." As he walked through the doors of the United Nations building he could not help but feel unsettled by the lack of intelligence that had been displayed by American leaders. With that he would depart the forum in a black limousine and return to New Spain to deliver his comprehensive report to King Enrique. For many of these nations this forum was the first official interaction with New Spain and the overall misconduct of it left a poor impression in his eyes with some notable standouts proving themselves to be reasonable powers. Ultimately, this event would help shape New Spain's agenda heading forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac MatthewII Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 The Lord President decided that this was a waste of time and nothing is being accomplished. "I redact my last statement thank you Pravis for allowing us in this beautiful city but now I must depart as many important things are happening in my nation." The lord president turned on his Gameboy and walked out playing TETRIS. The delegates in the room still could hear profanity from the other room as the president gathered his U.N.I.T troops and proceeded on his TARDIS back to Gallifrey.

If there is any-thing you would wish to discus with me concerning our two nations, please meet me at the following hotel, and room, here. Time will also be noted in this. Hope to see you there soon."[/i] Before Dominic left, he also would stand to speak to the people who were left. "Well, this was a..... Interesting use of my time. If there is anything that I missed that may concern me, please send me A e-mail. It could be found on my nation site." At that, President Dominic would return to his hotel, were he'd find his family, and go about the city for a wile before going home.
