Alliance Between Taijitu and The North Pacific

[Bustos]

Well Gulliver and Eluvatar are currently running for Delegate over there.  Funk is one of their Justices now, I think  Myroria has a couple Deputy Minister positions.  Saint Oz is there, just cuz he's Saint Oz.  And I'm there for some RP action but, I am getting more involved with their government, I'm actually voting now.  I would suggest you create/move a puppet and register there and help with the "cultural exchange."

[Khem]

ehhhh

[Myroria]

I am Deputy Minister of Communications, which makes me Managing Editor of the Northern Lights, TNP's newspaper. I am also Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and an RP consultant, which essentially means I answer questions that new RPers might have or help people improve their writing.

I will work on re-formatting the treaty for easier viewing and adding some of Cormac's changes. At this time, I would prefer not to mandate specific cultural exchanges - I agree with Bustos that that sort of thing is best left to people like the Citizen-Liaison or the Minister of Home Affairs for TNP, with only the general idea that they should happen left in the treaty.

[Bustos]

ehhhh

If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.   

[Eluvatar]

I like Khem's suggestion of some kind of RP-focused cultural exchange. I'd like to sit down with Myroria, Lord Lore, possibly madjack, Khem if he's willing, and myself otherwise to talk about some possible arrangement. I'd suggest a discrete event, possibly with sequels.

[Myroria]

I'm open to that.

[Bustos]

Count me in, mos def.

Most certainly willing time permitting.

[St Oz]

I'll play devil's advocate. We should repeal this treaty, why are we allies with the shittiest democracy in the world anyways?

Besides, the NPA is more a raider organization than a neutral one.

The shittiest? Have you seen ... any ... of the other ones? XD

I hear the Minister of Defense is working on that.

Please elaborate

[St Oz]

Just read their forum for an hour, you'll start to get what I mean.

Let's repeal it and say good riddance

2. Either party shall give a week’s notice prior to withdrawing from the treaty.
3. Either party shall exhaust all reasonable diplomatic options before withdrawing from the treaty.

Made some changes in accordance with Citizen Cormac's recommendations. Left the word "delegate" in Section 3-6 lowercase when referring to the Taijituan office to allow for a change in title in the future while not imbuing the office of Citizen-Delegate with Sovereign-Dixiest airs.

[Cormac]

Looks good to me!
