I'm sending this to Ryan (as per previous discussions with the Kaiser), but does it look good from here?Quote:WHEREAS the Imperial Republic of Shireroth claims Lac Glacei through Article Nine of the Southsailing Treaty, through direct grant in the Tymarian era, and through the right of years of continuous occupation,BUT WHEREAS Ryan Caruso has a competing claim, a strong cultural tie to the land, a committment to develop it further, and the diplomatic and political skill to resolve its many difficulties,AND WHEREAS both parties are willing to act in concord for the protection and betterment of Lac Glacei,THEREFORE, the Kaiser of Shireroth and Ryan Caruso agree to the following:FIRST, that Lac Glacei will become a sovereign Grand Duchy under Grand Duke Ryan Caruso.SECOND, that the Grand Duchy of Lac Glacei will become a protectorate of Shireroth, under the following terms:- That it acknowledge the Kaiser as a ceremonial head of state.- That it share the foreign policy of Shireroth- That it share the currency and economy of Shireroth, and present no barrier to the free flow of Shirerithian goods- That it does not cede its sovereignty to or become vassal of any third party- That it not be subject to the laws of the Landsraad of Shireroth.-That it not be subject to any Kaiserial decrees save those which expressly mention it.- That it have a separate immigration policy from Shireroth, that citizens of one not be citizens of the other unless they specifically join both nations, and that the Tri-Citizenship policy of Shireroth not apply to it.- That Shireroth is obligated to defend it if attacked- That the Grand Duke and the Kaiser periodically meet and discuss common issues and common goals at their convenienceTHIRD, that any perceived violation in this treaty will be arbitrated by UAI, or, if UAI is unavailable, a similar company or mutually agreed upon neutral party, and that their words will be binding.FOURTH, that this treaty supersedes all previous treaties concerning Lac Glacei, and that the Imperial Republic of Shireroth and Ryan Caruso both consider the status of Lac Glacei settled.SIGNED ____________ (Kaiseress Semisa I)SIGNED ____________ (Ryan Caruso) Edité(e)(s) par: Scott of Hyperborea  à: 12/2/05 22:07

Hm, I just heard Ric was supposed to be negotiating something here. I feel kinda bad for going over his head.

Actually, that was my fault.I was having two people negotiate the issue and then choose which option I felt was better.I like yours. Edité(e)(s) par: Kaiseress Semisa I  à: 12/1/05 17:19

He was playing us. :P There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

I did it once...Military Intell never knew about SHINE for a while.... than I merged them when you found out... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

Yes. I remember well, and still a bit sore about that too. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Don't be greg. It wasn't I didn't trust you, I just wanted to see who could get more/better results. And I found the concept amusing... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

Obviously we know who the winner was. :PThough I now have a nice contact in the russian sector... There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Ryan has agreed to this treaty with a few modifications, all of which are surprisingly in our favor. We now get to conduct all of Lac Glacei's foreign affairs, and although normal Kaiserial decrees do not affect Lac Glacei, the Kaiser may choose to make decrees for Lac Glacei specifically that have the same binding power there as normal decrees do for Shireroth.I have edited the changes into the text of the treaty on the top of this thread. The Kaiser may decree it whenever he wishes.

Sweet! Egg in their face and Ryan is happy There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

nice.... now we can put that as another funky title for the Kaiser... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.
