Scotland has proposed Iberian entry for the following nations:

The United Kingdom

The Kingdom of Galicia

The Kingdom of Spain

These nations have been approved by fellow members of the Iberian Pact. They must be ratified by signatures of the alleged nations' leaders to be placed into effect.

I have proposed the following changes to the Iberian Pact. It must be ratified by all members before it can become official as there is no pre-existing article about changes to the treaty.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Article I.

Scotland, Euzkadi, Conti, France, Galicia, and the United Kingdom agree to sign this treaty to promote friendship, and to provide for the defence of eachother's nations.

Article II.

Any and all intelligence that may expose a security threat to any of these nations must be shared.

Article III.

Free trade, meaning importing and exporting of goods between both nations without tariffs, as well as open borders between these nations, is to be enacted as a condition of this treaty.

Article IV.

If any nation is attacked by another nation, the nations not under attack are required by this treaty to come to the defence of the nation under attack.

Article V.

If any of these nations engages in an aggressive war against another nation, the other nations are highly encouraged, but not required, to aid the attacking nation in every way possible.

Article VI.

If any of these nation wishes to cancel this treaty, a 72 hour notification period is required.

Article VII.

Any changes to the Iberian Pact must be ratified by at least 65% of the membership.

Article VIII.

Applications to the Iberian Pact are welcome to any nation residing in Iberia or relatively close to the peninsula (i.e. Western Europe). Applicants may submit their application to any member of the Iberian Pact, who will review the proposed new member with the other members of the Iberian Pact. At least 65% of the membership must support the applicant for them to join the pact.

Article IX.

Should any of these nations descend into anarchy, the alleged nation becomes a protectorate of the Iberian Pact. This protectorate shall be defended from external threats and granted independence when stability returns to the region.

Euzkadi begs forgiveness for our lateness to these proceedings, on behalf of the Basque people I, General Oiharzabal, agree to the proposed additions to the Iberian pact. Furthermore i endorse the revised charter.

If the new changes are accepted, Valencia will not be able to join, because we already have a deal with Carthage that should our nation someday fail that the land would return to their protection. Unless some kind of opt out clause is included, we would not be able to follow Article IX. We are not requesting that you make a change so that we can join; we have no right to do so. We are simply saying why we will not be able to join.

OOC: That was the agreement when he gave me the land, so, sorry. D=

We are delighted to inform our allies that the ratification of the revised document has been completed by the Great Council last night.

With the latest wave of expansion, our block, stretching from the Hebrides to Andalusia, is now arguably one the most stable and largest free trade area in Europe.

In our opinion, recent developments in Italy make provisions to the treaty such as Article IX all the more relevant and necessary.

In special sessions convened last night at Paris, the Senate and National Assembly voted overwhelmingly to ratify the amended treaty by 336 to 52 and 265 to 42, respectively. After a long winded speech that droned on almost endless about the importance of free trade, presidential assent was finally granted this morning in Élysée Palace.

In a separate announcement, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs supports Valencia's entry to the Iberian Pact. We suggest that Valencia be allowed to place a reservation on Article IX to the effect that their arrangement with Carthage could be maintained.

The Bailiwick of Conti would make no objection to such opt-out clause provided this remains the exception rather than the rule.

As Carthage is no more, so is the previous dilemma (or at least we assume)

Therefore Valencia would like to formally apply for membership, as it can now abide by all of the rules.

OOC: Not a gravedig, I hope?
