First Citiatlan Conference

[Pachamama]

Minister Yar smiled at the proposal.
"A great idea. After all music is a universal language. This will make our ministry of cultural affairs happy."

The door opened and one of the Secretaries came in and walked over to him
"Minister Yar? There is a phone call from the Embassy of Foreign Affairs for you!
A President Folong wants to talk to you"

Yar stood up addressing the assembly. "Please excuse me for a moment there seems to be an important call from home."
He said and followed the secretary.

[Khem]

Prime Minister Black bowed to Minister Yar as he exited the room.

"so is anyone here good with legalspeak? i would draft up the pact but i am very terrible at such things. normaly i would have my secratary do it but she is vacationing out on the Mercantalist Isles somewhere."

Francis stood and retrieved another cup of coffee.

[St Oz]

ooc: I'm kinda in a rush so basically Sancta leaves, leaves the high priestess as a representative, Sancta goes home ^_^

[Delfos]

ooc:lol why do you even try to join this 'democratic' things?

[Pachamama]

Minister Yar returned as the Sancta left.
He made a short bow and said  "Farewell Sancta. May Gaea protect you on your travels"
He waited until she had left the room then turned to the assembly bowing down again.
"Please excuse me for interrupting this meeting. My government informed me that there would be a conference at the United Federation of States. It seems the wish to form a neutral gathering ground for nations to debate their differences. My country has send me as observer. But as it looks it will be a few days until this starts."

He then turned to the Delfos delegate.
"I have been informed that we were allowed by your government to send supplies to relief food shortages"

"Also we wish for you to open a embassy on our territory. There are no Delfians in our country at the moment, but should refugees appear at our borders things would go smoother if they were greeted by their own people and had assistance by both our governments"

He then bowed to Prime Minister Black and took his seat.
"Please let us continue" he said, leaning over to the Prime Minister whispering. "Any reason why she left?"

[Xyrael]

ooc: apologies, been very busy with medieval rp and rp with gf  I'm working on editing this as you read this.

[Delfos]

"Minister Yar, It's true, you can send any kind of supplies, but right now we are being threatened by big Oz, we might have to allocate our refugees."

ooc: where is your nation? can't find it...

Yuri Papovish: "About embassy, you might have to speak with the Supreme Council, but they will surely start an embassy exchange program."

[Saletsia]

Radu Betshev was getting uneasy: "When can we sign the treaty?"

[Pachamama]

ooc: where is your nation? can't find it...

OOC: to Delfos. My nation is Terrangar on Easteros.
Also wouldn`t the war be a day from now at least. The Sancta gave orders from her palace I read. That would mean she has to get there first??
Also a large scale mobilization like this may take a few days.

[Xyrael]

Mekkal struggled not to smack his forehead as a report of Ozian mobilization against Utopia came to him. He wasn't quite sure what he should do, so instead he sighed. Let's just finish this document, I'll think about it after...

Mekkal's hand cramped as he put the final period on the document. He handed it to a soldier, who hurried to make copies, before turning to the Saletsian and Delfian representative. "I have thought more about your situation with Ozia. I realize that my government has signed a treaty with both Saletsia and Ozia. If I may, as you were the nation aggressed upon I'd be willing to deploy forces aimed at the defense of key civilian population areas and refugee camps, and would be willing to evacuate all personnel in Utopia. Perhaps they would wish for transportation besides Saletsia?" Mekkal seemed to suggest the notion of Saletsian colonization elsewhere, realizing Ozian paranoia never seemed to relent when concerning their borders.

"And Delfos, I'd like to put this before this Conference right now. What would member states consider of a Delfian colony on Easteros, provided that the colony housed only refugees and the military forces required to defend them, and would maintain a joint GEPR Defender state military base?"

[Khem]

"well perhaps if we were to give them land north of Uichi Ryu it would be a very good thing."

Francis Black signed the treaty with his symbol and the word defender next to it.

"i am very happy with this we shall be one of the Defender nations. i do however have some concerns about the Ozian/Utopian situation. we have peaceful relations with Ozia and due to new laws passed by Parliament we are not to attack anyone of pure blood without ourselves being attacked first. and on both sides are people who are considered to be of pure blood. we however can offer to send a delegation to Ozia to attempt to reason with the Sancta."

[Pachamama]

" We would agree to this proposal under the terms stated by you Premier Mekkal. "
Minister Yar said.
He signed the document.

Representing the government of the Federation of Terrangar.

Minister Talman Yar

Signed. As Defended Nation.

[Saletsia]

"First of all I would like to state that Saletsia will sign the treaty as a defense-group B nation," he paused.
Then went on: "As for Saletsia-Minor, we would welcome any help we can get. Some civilians have been evacuated but others refuse to leave due to the hard work they have invested in the area during the Republican era of Saletsia. Our forces will not launch any attacks on Ozia as long as they leave us alone - seeing that we do not even have any common border sections, I fail to see how Ozians could even think we were a threat to them. It's like an elephant being afraid of a dove...As of now, we are not yet planning to abandon what is rightfully ours. Of course - as the treaty says - noneis yet obliged to support us since Ozia has not declared war on Saletsia as a whole..."
Then he turned to Prime Minister Black: "I thank you, Prime Minister Black, for the efforts you are willing to take for the sake of peace."

After saying so, Foreign Minister Radu Betshev took his pen and signed the treaty.

[Khem]

Prime Minister Black stood and bowed to the representatives of the other nations.

"i need to go make a call to the URDC so that we may get one of our women straight out to Ozia to speak with the Sancta. actually.."

just remembering the Priestess was still there Prime Minister Black turned to her.

"Perhaps you could do something for this. we wish to see an end to any and all bloodshed going on in former Utopia and general peace between that region and Ozia."

OOC: off to work.

[Pachamama]

Minister Yar turned to Prime Minister Black
"I also can not begin to thank you. I hope that we will be strong enough to change to category A in the near future to repay your kindness and gallantry in word AND deeds."

"Also should you happen to see your brother please give him my best regards"

He collected his materials.
After he packed he left with a final bow to the assembly.
