Chancellor Bismarck Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Perhaps other nations of the world see it as better to allocate lands that are habitable by more than seven people to the cause of actually easing the suffering of others. Why would Tahoe send refugees to the barren wasteland that is your homeland when they could more easily bring refugees into Washington or Oregon?Tahoe is simply asserting its authority over parts of its territory, nothing more, nothing less. I would expect any nation to assert themselves whenever their sovereignty is challenged by another. They are making statements, not threats. We do support Tahoe in its doctrine and its assertion of its sovereignty and the sovereignty of a state within the Republic. The Commonwealth will sign the new treaty as proposed. Perhaps you would mind asserting your sovereignty somewhere else, or you will ruin this conference. If it continues we will withdraw from this conference, even though we have just arrived.

Generalissimo Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Regarding Pacifican/American Affairs, I do not deem this place the proper area to discuss it. Please take your debate outside of this chamber." This venue suits us just fine.All islands along the Tahoan coastline are sovereign territory of the State of Alaska. If Procinctia would like to claim these islands, we would appreciate if they do so in a harmless manner and not try to hand them over to foreign organizations.The Alaska State Guard has been mobilized and will begin deployment to island and coastal areas to enforce Tahoan sovereignty and prevent hostile action from Procinctia. Hagemeister Island is under the jurisdiction of the Tahoan State of Alaska, and we are therefore most certainly not pleased with the notion that you are giving it away.Furthermore, we do not know when Proctinia took control over Ayak or King islands. . . The matter was resolved when RUSSIAN relinquished control of their Bering Island protectorates back to Procinctia following Procinctia’s reemergence, Slavorussia can confirm this - Where do you presume rights to anything in the Bering?

Manetheren Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Our friends in the Commonwealth are correct, we are simply asserting our authority over our own territory that a nation attending this conference is attempting to negotiate away. Would you stand by and let a neighboring state negotiate territory within your own nation away? Ask yourself this, and when you decide the answer is no, which you invariably will, we are sure you will begrudge our government protecting its own people. As for the treaty, the Tahoe Republic is committed to helping refugees and distressed persons worldwide, and though we will not agree to percentages of our territory to be handed over, refugee camps established in temperate climates in Northern Tahoe would serve wonders for refugees, who could work in our vibrant agriculture economy in that region. The matter was resolved when RUSSIAN control of their Bering Island protectorates back to Procinctia following Procinctia’s reemergence, Slavorussia can confirm this.Where do you presume rights to anything in the Bering? The Aleutians and St. Paul and St. George Islands belong to Procinctia. The islands along the Alaskan coast belong to Tahoe. This is non-negotiable.

With that, his assistant gathered his things and Thadon tried to leave with his dignity intact even as the volume of the Procinctians and Tahoans increased.

Zarfef Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Ziggy: Yes, the Aether Empire will commit to the signing of this treaty. Even an evil organization of EVIL can see that this is a minimalist thing to ask for. Also, as DE forces were completely unable to dent us, so we have no need of any aid either after the East African War. We would however allow for aid to be sent to Somalia which is in a devastated state after doing battle with us. Ziggy: However... Ziggy: There seems to be some questions I still have... it just seems wasteful to procure any natural number percentage of a nation's land only to have it sit there for the sake of refugee purposes. It seems... wasteful really. Ziggy: Wouldn't land with a variety of capacities be useful to the White Cross? Some for refugees, some for farming, some for manufacturing by means of non-profit industrial facilities? Then the White Cross could reduce its costs and further help more people, by growing it's own crops to help the hungry, build pumps for bringing water to remote villages AND helping the displaced and homeless? Ziggy: After all . I don't believe that the refugees of the world can cover 1.5 million square kilometers each year anyways. Money could also be allocated in times of less need towards the research of new drugs for solving disease issues like malaria that effect under-developed nations. Problems that would normally remain unsolved without your impact.... I don't know where that came from, it wasn't on the Aether's agenda... It just kind of fell off the top of my tongue, excuse the interruption. Ziggie's moment of looking rather soft and philanthropic vanished and he suddenly narrowed his eyes and returned to being overly serious and observed the conversations go. Seeing that the others were now just signing the treaty, he took his out and had Zarfef's name stamped on digitally... It was the 5% treaty that had come in the folder. Then he passed it on to the left unambiguously like he'd signed the other one in an anonymous fashion. Ziggy: You know, none of this would be necessary if your nations would all agree to fall beneath the brilliant leadership of Zarfef. But one day you'll agree agree without anyone laughing.

Amyante Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Amyante just sat back and listened, for a second fearing this conference too would end up in much the same way the one about war crimes had. Fortunately though, things remained relatively calm, even though she made a mental note to stay away from the Procinctia - Tahoe border for the next couple of months. It was a small surprise to see Ziggy sitting there though, and it was good to see he had managed to escape from Taeunian forces back on Rathlin after all. After giving him a small wave, she grinned, turning her attention back on the document in front of her. There were loopholes she could see, mostly using joint controlled territories to house refugees and a whole lot of nitpicking on how to define 'humanitarian aid', but she knew she would be able to supply workers even though most of her national budget was geared towards restructuring the nation. It wouldn't be a problem. Signed,(scribble) Queen Amyante Tojimaru Zargathian Transitionary Government, And with that, she folded her hands waiting for the other representatives to finish signing the document. Or talk to Ziggy to pass the time, whichever came first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
