We will Abstain for the time being, until others bring good arguments for admitting the french into the CEU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manetheren Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 As per Section IV of Article III of the Charter reading as follows: The Central European Union will not allow non-European influences in Europe after the signing of this agreement. Any nation not from the European Continent founding a colony in Europe will be considered in a war with all Full and Founding Members. Unprotected territory in Europe will become part of the Central European Protectorate until a stable local Government is founded. The Tahoe Republic would like the CEU to pass a resolution stating they will not tolerate their member nations to hold colonies in North America or South America.

They may rule over Belarus, but the bulk of their territory is in the Pacific and eastern Asia. Additionally, their capital is Brisbane, in Australia. We'd estimate less than 20% of their territory being in Europe, which, in our opinion, is not enough for partial membership. #8: Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Confederation Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 No to Resolution 4 (unless reservations are withdrawn) Yes to Resolution 6 No to resolution 7, nations without a capital in Europe need-not apply, if the commonwealth felt it prudent to move their capital to the European continent, then we would resoundingly vote Yes. However, as of now, foreign influence--no matter how close to home--is not valid in my mind. Yes to Resolution 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this normally would not suffice it also is the main party making it possible most of us gained our Independence as such we request you to grant them an exception. The other nations have provided sufficient evidence that we indeed are not European centered anymore, culture or not. It is not fair for other European nations to deal with a colonial power such as ourselves. Therefore, in good nature we will be withdrawing our application, however we do with for friendly relations with European nations in the future and we hope that our distance from the continent will not get in the way.

ADI and RoM are requested to submit their signatures #9: Yes. Regarding Croatia's argument: While your argument is valid, this could send a precedent. Exceptions to rules often end badly. Additionally, with Prussia agreeing with us, we thus would change our vote to 'No'. But as the Hansa withdrew their application, this is no longer in need of arguing.
