Hurmu

Post by Arviður »

The Government of Hurmu, having signed and ratified the Treaty of Association and Friendship with the Government of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, does hereby make it known unto all and sundry that Hurmu will only participate in the workings of the Small Commonwealth, for as long as said treaty is valid, through the caretaker of its sovereignty, the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. In as much as Hurmu has enjoyed participated in diplomacy and furthering the interests of Hurmu internationally and for all karjak-ka across the Micras, Hurmu would like to thank each and every participant of the Small Commonwealth for all the things they have done, for Hurmu, for the Commonwealth and for the karjak-ka of Micras.

The Treaty of Association and Friendship with the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, produced here, will also be adjudged, in any dispute between Hurmu and Shireroth, by the Commonwealth Court. Hurmu hopes that officials from Shireroth will confirm this stand.

Although the treaties of the Commonwealth are still valid in Hurmu, partly through its own sovereignty and partly for the delegation of sovereignty to the Republic of Shireroth, Hurmu will not participate in any vote of the Commonwealth, feeling that such actions would harm the relations between Hurmu and Shireroth on one hand, and the rest of the Commonwealth on the other. With the Commonwealth's permission, however, Hurmu would still like to participate in the discussions of the Commonwealth. This is not fundamental, so Hurmu would have no ill feelings toward anyone should that desire not be granted.

Having said all this, Hurmu would like to wish all a happy new Gregorian year and welcomes and invites all and everyone to Hurmu, on Shirerithian boards, to celebrate the 7th anniversary of Hurmu on the seventh to eighth of this January.

The Government of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth and the Government of Hurmu, desirous of strengthening the bond of peace which happily prevails between them, by arrangements designed to promote friendly intercourse between their respective territories and desirous of inaugurating a regular régime in Hurmu based on internal order and harmony, have resolved to conclude a Treaty of Association and Friendship and for that purpose have appointed as their plenipotentiaries,

So, if I get this straight Hurmu becomes a part of Shireroth but keeps its own ways and regulations. However, Hurmu stays a member of the Small Commonwealth but will not vote on matters concerning the Small Commonwealth. Am I right on this one?

Yes. Hurmu is no longer a voting member of the Commonwealth.

I assume that Hurmu will however have the power to sign treaties independent from Shireroth.

If I'm right I would like to have Hurmu's status a bit more clearified. Is Hurmu an autonomous region or is it a satellite state like Batavia had a few during the times of the Commonwealth of Batavia? I just want to check this, because I see legal problems appearing if the first case applies (the General Membership Treaty speaks of nations).

My opinion is that Hurmu can't sign treaties. In order to sign treaties with other nation, one has to be sovereign, and Hurmu has surrendered its sovereignty to Shireroth. I suppose that Shireroth could perhaps sign treaties on behalf of Hurmu, but that would open up for a load of legislative contradictions and irregularities.

The General Membership Treaty doesn't really state that a nation has to be sovereign, it just has to be a nation, dependent or not.

Anyway, I would like this to be clarified. Maybe the Shirithian representative can explain the point of view of the Shirithian government on this matter?

That's just semantics. To be able to sign treaties, the nation has to be sovereign, just like a person has to be of legal age to enter into a contract.

And as a territory of Shireroth, it would in a way give an extra vote to Shireroth. I don't want that, nor would it be good for the Commonwealth.
