Hey, I don't know y'all's laws, and I'm not going wade into an internal debate. That said:
Re: Lazarus: As was well pointed out by Eluvatar, Dyr Nasad, and Funkadelia in the other thread, XKI put over 100 nations into Lazarus and never tried to do anything but provide numbers and follow coalition orders, so I'm unclear why that's an issue.
If interactions with XKI have been strained at points in our over-decade of existence, I regret as much, but (hopefully) those days are long past. Isn't this embassy request, as part of a larger effort at interregional outreach during my term, evidence of that? So, I would like some clarification. If your delegate does have the power to reject a duly voted embassy request, then that's unfortunate; hopefully you will change your mind. If your delegate does not have that power, though, I'd very much like to see our embassy accepted on NS and our sub-board restored on this forum. I hope this shows that I and the rest of our government are committed to establishing relations, regardless of what bumps may arise, recognizing Taijitu as an important and valued partner region.
I have decided not to maintain contact with 10k islands as their delegate was snide and dismissive of me.
If given permission by St Oz, I'd be happy to share our TG conversation and let everyone be the judge here.
