Shireroth

1- The Imperial Republic of Shireroth does hereby annex the following territories yielded to the Imperial Republic:

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.

2- That the Landsraad urges His Niftiness to empower representatives of Shireroth to negotiate internationally accepted boundaries of these territories.

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.

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.

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.

Oh, yes, Yardistan votes Aye!

I'm allowed to speak as a Baron, yes?

I agree that we should not blindly go in and try to get back old territories at any cost. Negotiate where possible, and where not, consider there's a whole half a continent next door to Brookshire that's looking depressingly green and could do with a little Shirithianing up ...

Yes, but we never had much if any of that land to begin with...

Brookshire...Abstains

...for now.

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!

Come on, two more votes!

If I may (as but a Baron) suggest-
We made a map of Greater Shireroth a while ago. We agreed also a while ago (well, some of us did) that there's a distinct lack of political intrigue in Micras these days.
So, why not pass a Landsraad resolution advocating territorial claims on some areas Shireroth has lost but are now occupied by current micronations? At least that way we're assured more activity (always a good thing) and a couple of RecWars to boot
