iamthey Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) We do not lie. We have no evidence your MoFA did not give the order. OOC: Not to be a jerk but, this is a closed thread; please take this conversation elsewhere if you are not a member/observerstate or applying for membership. Thanks.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 "The Empire is very honored to see that the voting has almost gone unanimously towards our membership. I would like to briefly introduce myself. I am Tidus Wilhelm, the nephew of the late Chairman. I was granted this position via his will and the senate of our great state affirmed his last wishes in the appointment due to the many contributions I have made to our great meritocracy in representing the Dragonisian City congressional district. I'm very pleased to be sitting here among so many familiar and friendly faces that has worked with my family in the past towards the Unification and strengthening of Asia. My state has strong contacts throughout the world.. and I would encourage the AUP to use our capabilities in diplomacy and friendships to help it meet its goals. That said, thank you again for your affirmation of membership, and I look forward to being here representing our Empire among the elites of Asia."

Subtleknifewielder Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Antonio Pilar arrives (rather late) to represent The Nation of Selenarctos.OOC: This is a meeting of this Asian Union, right? When I left, it was an ODP. If this has changed, could someone direct me to the new draft? Thanks! OOC: Scratch that, thanks Elrich von Richt, though could I still get a link? got it now IC: The Nation of Selenarctos would like to apply for Observer Status. "Promised Land votes Aye."

Amyante Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 "It is never too late to vote until the time limit has been reached. Even if a matter is all but formally decided, a member might still place their vote, and voice objections if they have any. We feel it is better to not let such matters fester when they can be so easily avoided." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 "In that case, I am not so sure the Dragon Empire itself should join us," the representative said. "There must be a balance in all things. Though if an agreement is reached between the AUP and the Dragons...I would have no objection to that."

Maelstrom Vortex Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 "I think the point is kind of Trivial, the AUP agreement would be the agreement between the AUP and the DE. And what balance would this upset?" Tidus inquired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 "Balance? Always the world has been held in balance between two or more major powers. When Nordland existed, it was held in balance by the ComIntern and the Dragon Empire, respectively. I am talking about a balance of power."

Maelstrom Vortex Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 "How would this upset the balance of power?" Tidus, tilted his head.

Subtleknifewielder Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 "How? This would effectively make one powerful bloc, where before there were two. A balance." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyante Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) "Actually, previously only the Dragon Empire existed as an Asian bloc, the AUP is still fairly new. Now that the Dragon Empire has stated its desire to join the AUP, there would still be only one Asian bloc, only larger than it used to be. In the long run, nothing has changed, or at least less than one might believe. Antarctica and Europe all have their own Blocs as well, and it is therefore safe to assume Africa and the Americas have also: On a worldwide scale, a balance will always exist between blocs and nations, for if one grows larger it will drive nations elsewhere to join other blocs as well, thus compensating for the shift in power. The system is perfectly capable of balancing itself given a little time, our ally need not worry."
