My Brothers, while it is my most fervent wish that these territories be restored to us as they were of old, I am not unaware of the sweep of history, and the migration of peoples. Peoples, who although they may not have the right and ancientry of the Imperial Republic, have established themselves, have built nations and distinct communites, and have earned the respect of more ancient peoples.1- The Imperial Republic of Shireroth does hereby annex the following territories yielded to the Imperial Republic:
2- That the Landsraad urges His Niftiness to empower representatives of Shireroth to negotiate internationally accepted boundaries of these territories.Cognito, Lac Glacei, Absentia, Kloss, Loreley, the Principality of Stromblum, (encompassing the three duchies of Lorelei, Edelweiss and Heathersland), the area designated as the Freimark, Vivaldia, Alara, Alterra, Aspyxnia, Greater Baldonios, Burnisia, Edan, Formiga, Jaris, and Cocoanut Grove.
3- That these territories be initially assigned to the Duchy of Yardistan by right of conquest, as our brave warriors stand in the midst of the lands as their bounds were of old.
I do not intend for this opportunity to engender serious conflict. The scope and boundaries of these territories may certainly be subject to interpretation and negotiation. (Or perhaps traded for other areas.) The is a lot of green space on the map, space that should be coloured for us.
Exactly the point of #2 above. Who knows where some of these places actually are? We don't want a war, we want justice and compensation!
