Council of Ten Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Conti, The 14th June 2009 Archives Ident 2009/002 On the 8th June 2009 the Great Council of the Bailiwick of Conti issued the following declaration: [...]Conti is a city of craftsmen, merchants, sailors and adventurers. A tight knit community of industrious men bound together by the audacity of their enterprise. The early days of our existence have been marked by this very spirit. Soon our ships were diligently scouting the seven seas for new treasures, spices and riches to trade. Subsequently, the rise of our merchant navy, the growth of our commerce, the consolidation of democratic institutions upheld by the Instrument of Government have all been a testimony to our determination. But they have been obtained patiently, quietly. [...] By nature, we have little inclination for grand politics and we always have been wary of its entrapments. However the reality of our world is that more than ever before, trade and international politics are inherently imbricated, are now part of each other’s fabric. Therefore the pursuit of our commercial interests now commands a shift in our policy, the time of isolationism has come to end. Change may have been forced upon us by the course of events but we must embrace it for it is the promise of a new era of prosperity.Our diplomatic attempts to settle this matter via private channels have been so far ignored by the Welsh Empire. Conti will therefore be left with no alternative but to publish this document, for all to see. The Great Council of the Bailiwick of Conti and the Council of Ten hereby urges the Welsh Empire to publicly renounce to its suzerainty over our island (RL Jersey – Channel Islands). Our very existence is a fact of life and said suzerainty is nothing short than illegitimate. We call upon the Empress to formally put an end to this historical fiction. Conti must take its rightful place among nations of the world. Today the demise of the Welsh Empire marks effectively the fall of the last obstacle standing between Conti and its legitimate aspirations. On this day, the Bailiwick of Conti becomes a rightful member of the international community. Conti hereby reaffirms its existence to the world and wants to congratulate the Proxian Empire for achieving its long time ambition of uniting the island of Great Britain. It goes without saying that Conti does not harbour any territorial ambitions over any part of Great Britain. We are looking forward to establishing commercial and diplomatic ties with our northern neighbours.
