mona lisa Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 To: Speaker Johanna Jonsdottir From: US State Department I will be sending Ambassador John Neuman to Reykjavik to discuss the topic of Greenland and formalize diplomatic relations between our two countries. - Secretary of State Alisha Taitt OOC- feel free to skip to the meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Noise Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Ambassador Neuman touched down in Reykjavik and was taken by state car to the Executive Government Building downtown. The Icelanders proceeded to lead Neuman into the conference room he would be using. Speaker Johanna was waiting for him, rose and shook his hand, "So good of you to come on such short and abrupt notice." As the two sat down and Neuman was given a glass of water, she continued. She could speak English, but retained her accent, "Ambassador Neuman, I'm sure you understand our request from the missive. We are interested in procuring the southern tip of Greenland, the traditional Kujalleq province specifically. We wished to inquire on your willingness, and if you were, the terms of exchange."

mona lisa Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 "My government is willing to hand over the southern tip to Iceland under the conditions that if you are to construct any military facility, it must be shared with American forces; nothing less than an ODP between our two countries; and if Greenland were to ever come under attack Iceland would immediately assist US forces in deterring such a threat. If you are willing to concede to these conditions, there will be no financial cost." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Noise Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Johanna furrowed her brow and stroked her chin in thought. "Iceland is a new and fledgling nation. We are just now formulating the entirety of our foreign policy and we do not have a full picture of North American international politics. We are not opposed to getting to know your nation in greater depth, in fact we welcome it. That said, I'm not sure Iceland can agree to these terms. They are fair terms, but perhaps Iceland is not prepared to engage in an ODP with the United States, though further discussion could sway my position. Also, I am not certain that Iceland can accept the final term at this juncture. Is there room for negotiation on your side?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona lisa Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 "Greenland, being a protectorate of the United States, is privileged with the guarantee of US military protection from any domestic or foreign attack. If Greenland came under attack both Iceland and the US would have to work cooperatively for the people of Greenland. It is without question our duty as protectors of the people of Greenland to protect them and ensure that when the time comes for self rule, they may do so without any hindered or threat of invasion. We are willing to have a NAP but it must contain a MDP clause regarding Greenland. This is nonnegotiable." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Noise Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 "I can agree to these terms. I will be happy to sign such and agreement. Of course in the future, Iceland could be willing to upgrade this treaty if we continue to foster relations. I am sure we will be able to work together peacefully in Greenland. So we are in agreement over a general NAP with an MDP for specifically Greenland? If so, we could have a treaty drawn up and ready for our signatures."

Lynneth Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 [OOC: Posting here because the USA's thread is marked as 'closed'. The message may be answered by either Bones or Mona.] [Private message to the USA] "The Principality of Tikal is decidedly not amused by the United States' sale of geographically American territory to a European nation. Further, we believe the US to be overreaching itself with its attempts to establish alliances far overseas instead of in the Americas. In light of this and other actions by your government that we believe to be detrimental to peace in the Americas, we kindly request for the US to remove all military forces from Hawaii for no less than one year (OOC: 1 RL month), only to return if given explicit permission by Tikal. With kind regards," By the authority vested in me by Their Sublime Highnesses Director of Diplomacy, Clemente Marroquín Rojas Principality of Tikal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
