[Lighthouse] Opening Relations

The Lighthouse City State, recently re-established after a long hiatus, is actively seeking to establish relations with Micran powers. Currently our MCS claim is in process, but we hope that it will be approved shortly. However, this should not affect our diplomatic affairs. Thus we seek to open relations with Shireroth.

We would be interested in a treaty of mutual recognition (territory and sovereignty), and/or economic cooperation (free trade, tax-free ports, business/banking exchange, etc), as the latter is an important function of the city state. We are also willing to entertain any other matters of diplomacy that may be of interest to Shireroth.

I'm not sure the Seagull is coming back. Last I heard there was a hot sale on Gull Chowder. :evil

Welcome! Welcome! Do you want a cup of tea? A biscuit? Or an Apollonian waffle perhaps, while we sign the papers? :document

Ryan,

Treaty-in-a-can 2.0, or do you have something special?

Since I'm leaving on vacation in two days, treaty in a can is fine for now.

Somebody find CJ's "Treaty-in-a-Can V2.0".

I'll be able to pay attention briefly tomorrow, Ikol willing.

Ryan, what do you think?
Treaty of Friendship between Shireroth and Lighthouse City State.

We, the undersigned, do agree to the following:

1. That full recognition shall be extended to the other party of the treaty as a sovereign micronation; including over their websites, forums and MCS land; and claims of annexation by any third party shall be refuted unless it can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that the other party agrees to the annexation.

2. That each party has the right to appoint an ambassador to the other party, and each party is allowed to demand immediate removal of the ambassador at any time since arrival and with only a week's notice.

3. That full diplomatic immunity is extended to the chief of state of Lighthouse City State.
; and to his appointed Ambassador and their accompanying retinue; and likewise full diplomatic immunity is extended to the Kaiser of Shireroth; the Minister of the Exterior; and to his appointed Ambassador and their accompanying retinue. These diplomatic immunities shall extend to all future rulers of both nations and their respective delegates and ministers.

4. That both parties agree to not interfere in the domestic policies of the other party save for noting concerns raised via a note from the Ambassador.

5. That both parties acknowledge their mutual friendship, and that both parties agree to resolve any mutual disputes in a peaceful manner, with the binding arbitration of a neutral third party.

6. That each party shall support the other's MCS claims, and the entry of either into intermicronational organizations.

7. That neither party shall commit or condone an attack on the other, and will seek to share information in the case of imminent attack; and that they shall share intelligence regarding possible plots and plans by third parties against either party, or against the general micronational peace.

8. That neither party shall harbor, aid or otherwise support those that are willing to overthrow the legitimate government of either micronation.

9. That both parties shall remain open and accessible visitors from one another, barring national emergencies or other such security issues.

10. That both parties shall be given the right to extradition of those deemed criminal in either party. The detained individual shall be handed over to the authorities of the petitioning micronation and the other must comply with the petition within a period of no greater than seven days.

11. That trade shall be opened between both parties for mutually beneficial exchange, and the economic growth of both.

12. That either party seeking to amend this treaty shall inform the other of this request, and that all amendments must be made with mutual consent;

13. That the cancellation of this treaty must be undertaken via a written notice publicly posted in both parties' embassies for a minimum period of seven days before the annulment date;

14. That any deliberate violation of the aforementioned articles constitutes the cancellation of this treaty.

I think the Kaiser will have no objection to me giving this an A-OK, let it be done

I apologize, but all parties who initially cited an interest in supporting this project have gone AWOL. Therefore I am respectfully withdrawing the request for a treaty as Lighthouse will not be able to sustain itself.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Why not annex yourself to Shireroth? We could use an island of such historic import...

I've developed a "wait about two weeks and see if it's still there" kind of policy.
