A Measure of Unity...; attn Sendria and Lyly

Empire of Ziraq

After a series of secret meetings with ambassadors from the Republic of Lyallistan and the Republic of Sendria in the Ziraqi capitol of Aryānām on the possibility of a peaceful regional union to ensure the economic and political stability of all nations involved Shah Jahanshah I finally felt that enough basic details had been spoken upon to call an official meeting of officials from the three nations and immediately dispatched a correspondence to the leaders of Sendria and Lyallistan:

To: Balakh Sharif, President of the Republic of Lyallistan
Code:
 

Dear Mr. Sharif,

For so long our two nations have co-existed in a state of relative peace and prosperity without animosity nor hatred towards one another. With this in mind I have came to a conclusion, after meeting with my top ministers and the ambassadors of several nations in the region, we should make attempts in forming a peaceful regional union to ensure that the stability that we have so enjoyed thus far is maintained forever and so that we might use such a union to assist the other nations within our region that have no attained such a privileged existence in peace and wealth by helping stabilise their nations and provide them with an educational and technological basing so that we may, as a region, prove to the world that we are a land of culture and civility and that, though ethnically and culturally diverse, we can operate as one united people for the greater good. For this purpose I wish to personally invite you and your ministers to attend a conference in my capitol of Aryānām to discuss the details and possibility of such a union.

Shah Jahanshah I, eternal leader of Ziraq


To: Michael Akimwambe, President of the Republic of Sendria
Code:
 


Dear Mr. Akimwambe,

The Republic of Sendria has, for much too long, suffered at the hands of instability and unrest both internally and externally. In light of such a situation and the thus far embarrassment of the region in few coming to the aid of Sendria in their time of need, I have devised an idea for a union, after consulting with my own top ministers and the ambassador of your nation and several others, which would unite our region economically and politically to promote the general well being and stability of all nations within it, to provide for the advancement of nations, which have not endured the peace and prosperity my own nation has endured, through educational and economic assistance, as well as proving to the world that, despite our diverse ethnic backgrounds, we can work together so that we as a while may prosper. In this thought I wish to personally invite you and your ministers to a meeting in my capitol city of Aryānām to work on the details of this possible union for the good of all.

Aksoem

(OOC: Sendria told me I was invited too, so if this post goes horribly wrong..... Blame Sendria :P)

Prime Minister Kagiso will gladly attend the meeting in person, lacking in allies Aksoem is willing to offer much towards the security of the collected African States, we look forwards to the meeting and to closer our ties with allied states.

(OOC Dont mean to but in, however I like doing it :) , does not seem as though Akseom was invited and if they were, that would render the purpose of the "peaceful economic alliance" hypocritical. So unless I am reading the first post wrong, Akseom was not invited, if I am wrong, I apologize to Ziraq for cluttering your topic with OOC matters)

AccoSpoot (16:23:19): there is???
BraveHeartz ECM (16:23:41): yeah
BraveHeartz ECM (16:23:55): Sendria, Ziraq, and Lyly
AccoSpoot (16:24:12): I hope you're not planning on taking me down too
BraveHeartz ECM (16:24:21): and if you wanted to be in it, you would have a spot. but it wont be a military alliance. it is economic first and defense second
BraveHeartz ECM (16:24:23): no no
BraveHeartz ECM (16:24:26): actually
BraveHeartz ECM (16:24:29): we want you in
AccoSpoot (16:24:45): YAY!
AccoSpoot (16:24:49): totally dude
BraveHeartz ECM (16:24:52): awesome
BraveHeartz ECM (16:24:59): its going to be called the Atridian Union
BraveHeartz ECM (16:25:04): similiar to the african union
BraveHeartz ECM (16:25:26): and its more of a progressive alliance than "alright lets just conquer for our interests"
BraveHeartz ECM (16:25:34): and you would have a spot on the security council
BraveHeartz ECM (16:25:38): permanent spot

and later over PM an IC invitation

Dear Prime Minister Kagiso,
You have been invited to attend a meeting held in Ziraq to discuss a possible Union that will be formed to the betterment of the nations in our area of the world. I know these are tough times, but I would strongly advise you come personally to the meeting to discuss the organization.

Signed,
President Akimwambe

Considering the wording "Peaceful Economic Alliance" In no way has it been stated my entry into this alliance is for the benefit of my conquering your nation, and infact, I am the defender in this war, and therefore the more just in joining a Peaceful Alliance, if you want to highlight hypocrasy within an Alliances ethics, then check out your own alliance, which preaches "Defence, Technology and Economy" Yet all I've seen it do is pile on people for me to gun down mercilessly)

(Aksoem was invited via In Character PM. And don't come at us with hypocritical because I was invited to join the Triple Alliance yet right before I was framed by you. This is an economic first defense second alliance. Oh and on behalf of Ziraq, you're forgiven. Now back to IC.)

Most Majestic, Shah Jahanshah I,

It is with distinct honor and agreeableness that I accept an invitation to meet with and discuss a regional alliance. Our region is full of it's own unique history, and although the nations of this sector of the world have not always been renowned for peaceful coexistence, this alliance will prove that the past means nothing against good neighbors.
To the world, we must be seen as what we truly are, unique nations, with unique cultures, wisdoms, and views. In the future, our alliance will be seen as a great step in the right direction. I wholeheartedly look forward to meeting with you and my fellow regional leaders.

Mr. Balakh Sharif,
President of the Republic of Lyallistan

President Sharif read over the document carefully, thinking through each point. He then respectfully offered his opinion: "I see two primary issues in the draft. 1) I see no reason to have both an Assembly of nations and the Security Council, we need either one or the other, but having 2 councils consisting of basically the same members is pointless. 2) Lyallistan is unwilling to totally eliminate tariffs, even between regional friends. Our nation has a sensitive economy and we need such tariffs to prevent our economy from being flooded with goods from other nations that are able to offer at cheaper prices than our own businesses.
For these two reasons, I will not be able to sign this document as-is."

To address point one of President Sharif, President Akimwambe responded. "Although I do understand what you are getting at with your first issue but the Atridian Union will grow. We are hoping to have most of the nations within this area of the World join to further progress this often dangerous and always changing region."
