OOC: As long as you feel an applicant abides by the conditions of the Charter, feel free to vote against that applicant. Just be prepared to accept the will of the majority.
IC: Viktor hurried to the Council room, flustered. He had tried his utmost not to be late, but to no avail. Halfway to the makeshift Council chambers, he had realized he'd forgotten some of his presentation materials, and had to rush back to his room. He looked a bit of a mess, but there was nothing he could do about that except to straighten some of the envelopes he was carrying. He noticed that General Shin, who must have been re-appointed to the Council, was speaking, and paused to listen before sitting down.
"Well, that's a good idea, General, but shouldn't we begin planning Utopia before we begin sending troops there?" He pulled out one of his documents, passed it around. He noticed that what could only be the Uichi Ryan diplomat staring at him, almost hungrily. Odd. "This is a map of the proposed location for Utopia. As you can see, the elevations are clearly marked. There are three large cities planned, marked as red squares. The solid square is the proposed capital. Smaller red squares are smaller settlements. Military installations are marked in green, and known phosphate deposits in yellow. As you can see, they are all connected by road and rail, and those roads in turn connect to Confederate Freedom."
He could see that most of the Councillors, besides the Uichi Ryan and General Shin, looked rather bewildered, when he realized that he hadn't introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Viktor Debs, of Gallipoli-China."
