Lord Andreas the Wise,
I hope you agree with me when I want to lease Tymaria City to the Small Commonwealth. This is an old city, worthy to become the headquarters of an organisation like the Small Commonwealth.

Leasing sovereign territory to a non-state body is a matter of state, an act tantamount to a sub-division having a foreign policy, which is to say tantamount to a criminal act.

Permitting the Small Commonwealth to have its headquarters in Tymaria City is another matter, but ceding control in any form, is a matter for the Imperial Authorities and I will only allow it if approved by a specific act of the Landsraad, to which stringent safeguards have been attached.

I know, Your Niftiness. But I find it a matter of gentility when I first ask my lower nobles about this matter, before presenting it to You, the Kaiser.

YOU'RE THE DUTCH! DON'T ASK LOWER NOBLES, TELL THEM HOW IT'S GONNA BE!

Do you really think I would actually listen to them? Hahaha!

Go for it.

(and don't worry, if I didn't support it, I wouldn't wait for you to listen to me - I'd just park an army there using SCOWL )

I would have been under the impression that if the SC voted for their headquarters to be moved, then the Landsraad would have no say in the matter...

Nooooooooooooooo, that would be the SC overstepping their bounds. The SC would vote to move their headquarters, then whoever owned the land the capital is on would allow it to be used as such.

The SC is not a federation. The member nations are sovereign.
