Pax Imperium

[Sarrafan]

Refus looked nervously at the Myrorian priestess.

"I'm afraid I must disagree with you regarding the issue of domestic war crimes. In times of civil war, such things are hard to avoid and I find it unfair for our government to be held accountable for the actions of the army when they want peace as much as we do but use extreme methods to achieve this. However I fully agree on the laws regarding invader war crimes, the protection of the citizens is the most important function of any state, and this alliance should priorities itself around their protection."

[Myroria]

"Sancta, I believe this conversation serves no further purpose. If you think insulting me will cause me to go berserk and lose my cool, I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken. Now, are you going to observe, or be annoying n'wah's?"

"And, Mr. Refus, I must say I agree wholeheartedly."

[St Oz]

The Sancta muttered in Inglish, "Just shut up bitch..."

She then whispered to her Priestess, "I'm getting tired of this meeting, Parpaski sent me here only so he can sneak around Ozia... We're going home."

The Sancta stood and the priestess was forced to help and escort her as she started to walk out of the room.

[Sovereign Dixie]

President Anderson acknowledged Adara's departure. "I am sorry to see you leaving so soon, but you must do as you feel best, once again, I thank you for your attendance."

 "We are not talking major political unification, it would be hyporcritical of me to sit here and drone on and one about the individuality and sovereignty of nations, only to propose we relinquish ours. No, I'm thinking merely each nation contributes a portion of it's armed forces to act as the PI military body, and we agree to free trade amongst ourselves. No common currency, common laws or any of that."

[Feniexia]

"As long our forces would never be under foreign control...but free trade? We would ruin our economy if we grant imports of rice and some other agricultural products..."

[Sovereign Dixie]

 Anderson sighed and rubbed his temples. "Very well, your objection to free trade is noted with regards to your agricultural sector. I don't think any one else should object to that stipulation. Here's what I'm going to do, because until I come up with some kind of charter, or treaty, all of this is academic." He withdrew a piece of paper and began writing.

"Just bare with me for a few.." HE said without looking up from the page

[Sarrafan]

Refus considered the proposals. "This seems agreeable with my nation, however I feel it inappropriate and unfair on other nations that until the issue with Stellaris is resolved that I put my signature on any dotted line. I must take my leave now but rest assured Mr President, I will get back to you in due course with my decision. I would not like a possible war that had the potential to jeopardize the alliance."

Refus gets up to leave accompanied by Kirov and they walk towards the exit....

[Myroria]

"Thank you for the answer, Mr. President. This document seems alright to me. I will gladly sign it."

[Prydania]

Destler looked over to Fredrika, nodding.
"The document more then satisfies the wishes of the Commonwealth of Inglo-Scotia."

[Feniexia]

Fay raised her voice.
"What is with war declarations? We are currently at war with Gallipolli-Chinese troups and terrorist forces in Canada...will you aid us? Will you let us go trough this alone? Or will you condemn that?"

She stride a bit of hair out of her face, then she let her view go trough the hall.

[Sovereign Dixie]

 Pleased with the Myrorian and Inglo-Scotian response, President Anderson affixed his signature to the document, then addressed the Fenexian representative.

 "If you sign the document, you can then present your request for military involvement before the the alliance, and we can put it to a vote, if the majority votes for war, then the alliance will move to help you in your struggle, however any nations wishing to aid you on a unilateral basis by all means within their rights to do so.

 I will say though, that speaking for my own viewpoint, and the position of my nation, that the Confederacy is in no shape to be deploying forces abroad at the moment, with a quarter of our nation under foreign occupation. Furthermore, you must also consider, that if we were to take action against Gallipoli-China as an alliance, that would most definatley be the only reason most nations would need to spark a global conflagration, one in which I do not think we would fare well in, given our current state."

[Sarrafan]

A message arrives via fax

To: President Anderson

From "First Consul" Refus

After some due consideration I have decided I would be honored to become part of this alliance, to have formally declared this within the meeting itself would have lead to bickering over a potential war within the alliance system, but I am a man who knows when a deal is a good one. Therefore I officially announce my nation is accepting membership and I look forward to a profitable future.

[Feniexia]

"Then I as Feniexias leder shall sign it...although, we just got the message, that war aid in Canada might not be of need anymore. We are already attending to a peace summit. Let´s see...."

[Sovereign Dixie]

President Anderson was quite pleased. "Then the formation of Pax Imperium is complete, thank you all again for coming, I trust each nation in attendance will wish ti appoint a permanent representative to conduct future PI affairs. A permanent structure to house the alliance is being built in Mobile, and will be ready for occupation upon the conclusion of our war for Independence. i am appointing Mr. Maynard Ace Thatcher of the State Dept to be the CSSD's representative in PI, and now, ladies and gentlemen, I present our proposal for the flag of Pax Imperium."

To:Pax Imperium
From: Chancellor Yuri von Hessian, Chancellor of the Empire of Canada
Hello fellow delegates. My country has finally finished with its civil war and we would like to owe the Empire of Fenexia and others a debt of gratitude by asking if our country can be another addition to your alliance. I am sorry that neither I nor the Emperor can attend the conference, on the note, that we are helping the Fenexian peacekeepers rebuild Anchorage and search for survivors. I will however send Gregory Simon to the conference.

Ambassador Gregory Simon walked into the conference, handed the telegram to President Anderson. Then he took his seat.

OOC: Sorry ignore this. There is a RP for this.
