With Tahoe's Yes vote on both counts, the Atlantian Federation is admitted to the Bermuda Triangle Pact and the Jersey Republic is admitted to the Economic portions. Both nations may submit signatures to be affixed to the treaty.

OOC: Wilson, I please post the signatures for the Jersey Republic so that they can be added.

IC:

**Classified to BTP Members**

We've established a naval testing range south of Bermuda. The corners of the range are as follows: N30W65, N25W65, N25W70, and N30W70. We would be interested in running some joint exercises to practice coordination and tactics.

**Classified Response**

Tennessee would be interested in running exercises as well. Although we really do not have a navy, we'd be interested in testing our air force in naval situations. Our warhawks are capable of landing on aircraft carriers, but we need to test this feature more and get real training for our pilots.

While the pact is somewhat unclear about successor states, since the Imperium of America withdrew, we must revote to admit the Holy Imperium of Man.

That said, the United Republic will sponsor the Holy Imperium of Man's application.

Due to the Jersey republic abstaining, the Holy Imperium of Man cannot be admitted since the admission clause within the pact requires a unanimous decision for admission. We will, however, keep the voting open for another 3 days in case anyone wishes to change their vote.

The Jersey Republic's signature has been added.

Tennessee sees no problem with admitting them. We will maintain our vote of 'yes'.

(OOC: Spiel from here: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?s...20&start=20 )

Tennessee is Libertarian as well. Kinda going with that, we of course give a large amount of freedoms and liberties to our citizens. Basically anything except initiation of force to meet an end. This is also the foreign policy of the government. Really 'live and let live' and 'diplomacy of war'. Frankly, we don't care what you do internally. It is not our place or in our capacity to make anyone do otherwise. While of course we believe democracy and freedom are the way to go, we will not force this on people. Some ideologies pretty much reject them. That's fine. They can exist. As this relates to the Imperium, we will not cease trade or relations based on their ways.

"Article I - Sovereignty

Each of the nations bearing a signature on this document hereby declares that they will uphold the values and honor of said signatories’ sovereignty. They agree not to invade, interfere in internal affairs, or oppress the other signatory that partakes in this document and treaty."

With all respect to the Atlantian Federation, it is dishonorable to not reinstate the Imperium for your stated reasons. We must value our member nations for what they are. They are a sovereign nation who wishes re-admittance and obviously wishes to uphold the pact. We urge our fellow nations to vote yes on the admittance as their is no legitimate reason the Imperium should not be admitted.

Which is a bias and interfering in our internal affairs. Perhaps the Bermuda Triangle Pact is not what it once was. We withdraw our request to join, seeing as obviously we are unwanted in the organization. Any entity still wishing to treat with us should contact our central offices privately.

(OOC: Which means PM me.)

And, under the same article, you must respect our supreme dislike of any nation with a national religion that does not allow other religions to practice.

We do respect that. However, it should not be used to shut out a party. Tennessee views this as prejudice and somewhat 'oppressing'... or at least depressing...

We are sad to see a former member leave us. We urge the Imperium to have patience here. All of us. Tennessee wishes to keep good relations with its South American friend.

And what else did you expect? Us to sit on our hands and not allow our beliefs to effect our choice?

Apparently you have decided to take the opinion of one member and make it the opinion of the Alliance <_<. That is not the case at all. Those member states which gave a reason for why they voted yes, no or abstained did so out of respect to the applying party.

The intentions are quite clear. We will certainly be talking with those members who have shown acceptance towards our policies, but cannot in good conscience be a portion of an alliance containing a nation whom actively despises our inner workings.
