Lynneth Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 King Maximilian III. will attend this conference personally. OOC: Next response will be in ~3 or 4 hours due to visiting friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurius Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Both were escorted from the Airport in Vienna to the Palace just a bit outside the center where heavy work was being conducted. Once at the palace they would be taken to one of the conference rooms. "Welcome to Vienna or as the locals call it Wien"the Empress said. At the Croatian side were the Empress and Provisional Prime Minister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Confederation Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Otto bowed to the two. "Servus friends. I come from de Freistaat Preußen. I wish to first recognize the great prestige that my nation holds in attending these meetings. We are honored and blessed to speak with nations such as yours and feel that only benefit for each of our nations, and for Europe and the world as a whole in is store. Now...I must tell you, the first set of elections in de Freistaat will begin tomorrow, with the election of our Ministerpräsident...the highest seat in the nation. News polls put former Kaiser and Ländergovernor Albert Tanzband far ahead of the next contender...approximately 80%. He's become something of a legend in Europe, no? I have been given the blessing of Herr Tanzband to attend these meetings, but in the incredibly off change he does not win the election, I may be relieved by another diplomat for remaining course of this conference." He looked at his notes for the conference and smiled. "Now, shall we begin?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurius Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 "Very well, well the reason we have assembled here is because we have a lot in common, we come from the same nations our peoples are considered family of each other and our Influence on the Cultures of the world has been enormous as such I would propose the creation of a Central European bloc featuring cooperation on multiple levels such as Military, Economy and even Science. What would you think? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked at his notes for the conference and smiled. "Now, shall we begin?" "Griass Eana, Herr von Königsberg. The same to you, Frau Kaiserin and Herr Ministerpräsident." (OOC: Empress = Kaiserin, Emperor = Kaiser /OOC) Like von Königsberg, the King looked at the notes until the Empress began talking, which was when he started paying attention to her. "Very well, well the reason we have assembled here is because we have a lot in common, we come from the same nations our peoples are considered family of each other and our Influence on the Cultures of the world has been enormous as such I would propose the creation of a Central European bloc featuring cooperation on multiple levels such as Military, Economy and even Science. What would you think? " "Forgive me, but I have to correct you, Empress. The only 'same nation' we come from is the recently fallen GNR. Otherwise, our people have been very split within the last one or two thousand years. We have things in common, but not so many that I'd think of you or Herrn von Königsberg as family. Rather, acquaintances that I could grow to like if they don't alienate me. On that note, I like to speak my mind. I hope you do not mind that. Regarding this bloc, I'm sure we can work something out. Scientific cooperation? Sure. Economic cooperation? Yes, please. Military cooperation? I'll have to think about that. After all the world just recently destroyed the mockery of a nation that called itself Greater Nordlandic Reich. I'm not entirely sure if they'd like to see us cooperating on a military scale, unless it's purely defensive. I will thus not sign an MDAP, though in a few months or years, if the world thinks better of us all, this may of course change. I'm also open to suggestions and tries of convincing me otherwise, though the latter will fail. I'm already married." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Confederation Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 "Indeed, I feel that a Mutual Defense pact should suffice...it will keep the wolves that wish to call our actions aggressive at bay aswell. I believe we are all in agreement to support such a "Central European Union", but we must first establish our priorities. I feel that first join administration of the current Prussian protectorate länder should be established, then a meeting with ethnic and national leaders across Europe be held to decide--by unanimous vote--to decide where and if land should be allocated. Next, I believe we should establish 'Special Economic Zones' across the Baltic, Mediterranean and other key areas across our domain. These zones would allow for more investment in the area, encourage businesses to migrate to these areas, put more lax authority on shipping internally and internationally and establish common economic ground within our nations."

I also believe this Union should have a clause stating no Colonies from other continents will be allowed on Europe as to protect the cultures which are so many."

"I fully agree with putting the prussian protectorates under joint administration for the time being, as well as the part after that. About the 'SEZ', I've no problem with that. It should get trade up and running quite well. In regards to the Empress' proposal of three levels of membership, I can agree with that. Colonies...I could agree with that. Do note, however, that the Alliance would thus have to be banned from Europe, their capital being somewhere in the indian ocean." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly petty, you're saying an entire faction has no say despite being one of the main combatants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than being viewed as enforcing an existing rule it would be more of a manufactured CB eliminate someone not a part of the strategic group. No more ooc.

Unprotected territory in Europe will become part of the Central European Protectorate until a stable local Government is founded. Article IV: Protectorates Section I: All existing protectorates of member nations within the boundaries of Europe will become part of the Central European Protectorate, these are not to be used for expansion but as the name suggests to be protected against foreign influences. Central European operations within the Protectorate will be limited to protecting and helping local Governments maintain order until they have set themselves up to the levels of a nation capable to stand on its feet. New nations forming from the Protectorate will NOT be forced to join the Central European Union. Section II: Should a signatory or any other nation fall and there is no European power to assume protection of the territory it will become part of the Central European Protectorate. Article V: Membership Section I: Membership will be divided into 3 different levels, Founding Members will be the original Signatories and have a veto right regarding membership of new nations. Directly under it will be Full Members these are signatory of all Articles and have a vote on all matters. Under them will be Partial members who are signatory of all nations with the exception of Article 3. Section II: Any member with a reasonable portion of their land on the European continent in addition to their capital are allowed to apply for Membership. For Partial Applications all nations will get a vote where founding members can veto.

Article VII: Any member who wants to leave can do so by giving 72 hours notice to the other signatories. During this period no attack will be taken and should the leaving nation be a Full Member it will still have to defend members.
