All things southwest of the border, including Neronea, are Antican. The capital of Shirithian Kaikias is to be moved to a new city within Shirithian Kaikias, whose location and name are to be decided by the Count of Kaikias outside the scope of this Treaty.

Section D. As a measure of goodwill, THE IMPERIAL REPUBLIC OF SHIREROTH and THE REPUBLIC OF ANTICA both agree to allow either nation to rescind this treaty by whatever means standard in either micronation.

You've got seven ambassadors from Shireroth and Antica agreeing on this. Pass it.

I'd go for an Imperial Decree but this assures that we agree on it. The Landsraad needs something to vote on, for that matter.

[andelarion]

I neither endorse nor oppose this. I will, however, propose it to the Landsraad.

[Chrimigules]

Just as a note, if I may, it's currently in debate in Antica and some citizens are proposing changes. Simply an FYI type thing.

[Braden Indianensis]

Due to the general Antican displeasure with Article 2, Section C, I call for the SNORE conference to be reconvened and a final draft of the Treaty to be written, sans that clause, to be proposed to the Landsraad.

[andelarion]

*sigh*

I thought the whole point of negotiating treaties was that you do all the talking before ratification.

The Anticans should be happy they get any land from us at all.

[osmose1000]

We already have a crapload of land, giving up a little isn't that bad.

It matches up with current activity anyway. The only reason this is threatened in Shireroth at all is because you're the only active noble that wasn't part of the negotiation (rough guess).
