Imperial Decree #205: Treaty of Aquilaria

[RicLyon]

Welcome Anticans

Wow. This should be interesting...

[Kaiseress Semisa I]

ARTICLE ONE: The Dinarchy of Antica cedes sovereignty to the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. All Antican citizens are immediately naturalized as citizens of Shireroth.ARTICLE TWO: The Antican-owned areas marked on the Micronational Cartography Society map as Skiron, Mesoun, Phedodah, and Platea pass into Shirerithian control as Counties. The Antican-owned area marked as Kaikias is ceded to the Republic of Antica as a gesture of good-will.ARTICLE THREE: The Kaiser of Shireroth grants feudal rights to three of the four counties thereby created to the three citizens of the Dinarchy of Antica according to their wishes and preferences. The fourth will be given to an individual approved by the Anticans at a later date.SUB-ARTICLE A: "An individual approved by the Anticans" counts as any person who Delphi Augustus, Dinarch of Antica at the time of the signing of this treaty, accepts. The Kaiser may not give this County to an individual without the Dinarch's approval, or else this treaty is void.SUB-ARTICLE B: The Kaiser may not remove counts from native Antican counties, except in cases of treason, without the consent of Delphi Augustus, or, should Delphi Augustus leave Shireroth, his successor as Count of Aquilaria. Such an action on the part of the Kaiser would void this treaty.ARTICLE FOUR: The Kaiser of Shireroth supports in principle the creation of an Antican political unit within Shireroth, either at the Barony or the Duchy level and according to standard Shirerithian feudal law. The Kaiser also agrees to do his best within reasonable limits to allow Antica to fulfill the legal qualifications for full Duchy-hood as quickly as possible.SUB-ARTICLE A: If the counties of Antica at some future point decide they do not wish to be associated with one another, and wish to remain part of Shireroth, they have the right to form other feudal alliances with native Shirerithian counties in accordance with normal Shirerithian feudal law. This does not remove their status as Antican counties for the purposes of Article Five.ARTICLE FIVE: If at any point in the future, any Antican wishes to become independent from Shireroth, a referendum will be held. If a simple majority of Anticans vote in favor of independence, then Shireroth will relinquish control of the territory gained by this treaty.SUB-ARTICLE A: Shireroth will take no side in any questions of what the future Antican government will be if this occurs.SUB-ARTICLE B: For purposes of this referendum, an Antican is defined as any count of any of the counties granted to Shireroth in this treaty who was a citizen of the Dinarchy of Antica at some point before this treaty was signed.ARTICLE SIX: Shireroth acknowledges that this treaty does not give it sole rights to the name "Antica", any power over the entity called "the Republic of Antica", or control of the island of Nafticon. It does however maintain an equal claim to the Antican legacy based on the history and primacy of the Dinarchy.ARTICLE SEVEN: Should all Anticans, as defined in Article Five, Sub-Article B, leave Shireroth without having chosen to exercise their right to secede as listed in Article Five, Antican territory will become fully Shirerithian, and all restrictions placed upon the Kaiser in this treaty will be void. Should there be an irreconcileable conflict between the Antican counties and the Kaiser of Shireroth that does not or cannot result in Antican secession, the matter will be referred to a neutral arbiter, preferably UAI if they still exist, and their decisions will override the text of this treaty. By my hand,Her Niftiness, The Resurrector: Semisa, First of the Name, Kaiseress of Shireroth, Protector of Comstokia, Overlord of the Duchies of Naudia'Diva, Elwynn, and Kildare, Thane of the Shirelands, Keeper of the Apollo Legacy, Grand Master of the Orders of the Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix, and Chimera, Wielder of Vengeance, Bearer of the Celestial Barrier, Countess of Shirekeep, Knight of the Dragon, Arsonirathius of Delvenus, Knight Companion of the Most Magnificent Imperial Order of the Sovereign Viking Crown, Princess of Hvalafell, Priestess of Cedrism, and Lady of the Golden Mango Throne.

[RicLyon]

The Republic of Antica has, according to hearsay, claimed all of Antica.

[RicLyon]

If you ever so think about going into Elwynn with as much as one armed person...!

[AngelGuardian93]

Pardon You, Ric; I wasn't talking about Elywnn. However, I don't like threats, so recant yours or I will forget my friendship with you. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

[RicLyon]

I was joking, mate Sorry if I offended you.

[AngelGuardian93]

*ahem*Allright then. Accepted. And apologies myself. I thought you were serious... *hug* There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

[RicLyon]

Why would I want to say something like that seriously? But don't worry *hugs back* Richard LyonYansha Elaer Kyon gef ShanPernem kahn gef kuymal per varga stiPernem kahn gef varga per kuymal sti

[OctaviusMe]

Quote: The Republic of Antica has, according to hearsay, claimed all of Antica.The Republic has not claimed all of Antica. In fact, there was a debate on the issue, and those who were trying to push for claiming all Antican territory were soundly beaten enough to withdraw.

[RicLyon]

That solves it then

[RicLyon]

*whispers* (Actually, I think he never resigned his citizenship here...)

[Imperial Ras Charles]

Just mutual recognition, Lady? As I recall, we have been allied to Attera since 2002 and several Shirerithians over have been or are still high ranking Atteran officials, notably myself and Your immediate predecessor.I find Your Niftiness' outburst unacceptable and unbecoming of a Kaiser(ess), particularly when Johanns was just posting his private opinion, not speaking for the Empress or the Nation. I demand an apology to Atterans and Attera.

[RicLyon]

I would advise you to not demand anything from our Kaiseress. Rather, suggest.

[Imperial Ras Charles]

You are correct, Ric.As a Shirerithian, I tone down my post a little bit: I know suggest an apology.As an Atteran citizen, however, I still demand.

[Kaiseress Semisa I]

Quote:I can't speak for Attera (yet), but I don't like this at all.Unfortunately for you, you're not a citizen, I don't know who you are, and I frankly don't give a DAMN about what Aterra has to think. They're not involved, and they can eat me. If they wanted to be party to the plot, perhaps they should have had closer relations with us, instead of mere recognition. Edited by: Kaiseress Semisa I  at: 12/1/05 14:49

[Scott of Hyperborea]

I join Ras Charles in suggesting the Kaiser be less insulting to our friends in the future and in advising an apology. Such conduct is unbecoming the foremost representative of Shirerothand threatens our interests abroad. By what treaty are we allied to Attera? As far as I am aware we have only mutual recognition.

[Kaiseress Semisa I]

My friend Ras Charles, I hope you understand my frustration. I mean no offense to Aterra, just to the offending party in question. Aterra has had good relations with Shireroth over the years (what I was thinking when I wrote that we had "mere recognition" I don't know; I was posting from work and rather distracted at the time), and I apologize for putting all of Aterra into a bad light when there was no need to.However, as I said before, I hope you understand my frustration. This treaty (more of a contract than anything) was worked out by both sides for a good amount of time prior to its activation, and both signing parties had to agree to the totality before its proclamation. And considering Aterra or the wide variety of other nations out there are not involved, I don't see why it should bother anyone.If you do still have a problem, I'd suggest talking to me directly.Forgive me for my error, Ras Charles.-Kaiseress Semisa

[Johanns V]

That still doesn't excuse your insult against me. A Kaiseress ought to be more polite I'd think. Waz ist wunders hie geschehenDaz ein Magt ein Kint gebarHêre übr aller Engel ScharWas daz niht ein Wunder gar?-Walther von der Vogelweide

[Kaiseress Semisa I]

And you'd do well to practice what you preach. Don't insult my intelligence or my decisions, and I will be nice to you. Edited by: Kaiseress Semisa I  at: 12/1/05 17:10
