NATO Head Council Meeting
OOC Note: This conference is behind closed doors in a secret section of one NATO country. If you read this, this is OOC knowledge. It only pertains to the NATO Head Council. Thank you, have a good day.
Victor sat patiently at the head of the conference table. All the member nation's representatives were there, Haraki, Derieties, Celack, Sigma Octavus, and Ruhr. Chancellor Victor Firestorm took the oppurtunity to begin the meeting.
"Welcome everyone, once again to the NATO Headquarters. I would like to note we have finally completed NATO Tower in Coriella. This was a great achievement of our nations. What is next is discussing the terms for the next years to come." Victor smiled and looked around the room.
"Well, we have a lot on our agenda today. First, the overall stance on wether or not to begin recruitment. Second, discussion of a standing force. Third, setting taxes on military goods between nations. Fourth, an NATO Space station. And after that, it will be time to start open discussion."
(OOC: you all in NATO understand the plan. Haraki, you start it shortly, please.)
"Well, let us begin. Bringing issue one to the the hearing. Ruhr would like to see NATO begin recruitment of not only older, powerful nations but smaller nations which can serve as the backbone of our general economy. Right now, we average about 33,000 Stuka a year (Roughly 35,000 US). While that is very respectable, we can do better. If we keep opening outside channels and allowing our companies to gather more materiels for cheap, we can both become self-sufficient and enlarge our overall exports. Ruhr is in favor of this."
Prime minsiter tuesat sat at the table.....the second nato conference in a month. The last one in his country was poorly attended. He listened to the proposal
"Celack is in favour of this"
He couldn't shake the feeling some of the people didn't like him.......he was the last of the original members to stop the civil war in Haraki. He had the terrorists come from his country.

The representative of Sigma Octavus sat in his respective seat, watching but not saying much, as was the way of all SO politicians.

OOC: /me wonders if I get to have people at the conference.
"SO Delegates, what do you think we should do?"
Empress Katarina sat there, thinking. "this is the first NATO conference i've ever attended, and the only NATO conference Derieties has attended in a long while. I hope I dont screw things up."
"recruiting? that cant be too bad to agree to."
Katarina: Derieties agrees that recruitment would be a good idea, and that it would have favorable effects for all of the senior NATO members. We do, however, think that a council of senior NATO members should be formed, just something to distinguish them from the newest of nations. A nation could earn senior status after, say, ten to twenty years of membership, with approval by 2/3 of the senior nations.
'Well, let us begin. Bringing issue one to the the hearing. Ruhr would like to see NATO begin recruitment of not only older, powerful nations but smaller nations which can serve as the backbone of our general economy. Right now, we average about 33,000 Stuka a year (Roughly 35,000 US). While that is very respectable, we can do better. If we keep opening outside channels and allowing our companies to gather more materiels for cheap, we can both become self-sufficient and enlarge our overall exports. Ruhr is in favor of this."
ooc: holy shit, congragulations on being the FIRST ACTUAL CAPITALIST IN NATIONSTATES. if i had a medal and knew where you lived i'd give it to you.
Prime Minister Jaime Walf slowly nodded. "Yes, that's true. I'm in favour of this new policy regarding smaller nations."
OOC: Might I point out this quality phrase at the top of the page:
"All the member nation's representatives were there, Haraki, Derieties, Celack, Sigma Octavus, and Ruhr."
The five head council nations. Thus, it would appear, the 'NATO Head Council Meeting' thread is for the NATO Head COuncill, which means only the people from the NATO Head COuncil (The five nations mentioned above) are there.

The SO delegate stands up. "I think that we should let smaller nations in, but still allow large powerful nations to join. That way, the little nations can feel safe."
(OOC: I have nothing to say on the economy thing.)
NOTE: Seocc, thank you for labeling me a capitalist. Now get the hell out of this thread. The results of the meeting will be published later. Until then, read...don't reply.
Tiburon, Ogle...get the hell out.
-----------------------------
IC: "Delegate from Haraki, please tell us your view on the situation."
"Which one?" Jaime said with a slight smile. "On the economy issue, I'm with you. SOunds good to me. On recruitment, I say we let any nation in, regardless of size, but we have a thorough background done on each and every nation that applies. Histories of warmongering, WMD-selling and other such misdemeanors would lower their chances of being approved."

Lalalalala :idea:
Kill NATO kill Imperialism !
Listen, I do not mean to offend anyone or piss them off. But simply put: stay the hell away from where you ain't supposed to be! If you are discouraged to post if you aren't there...then don't post. I am not directing this soley at you, Ogle...but to Tiburon, Seocc, and this fu**tard who decided to post.
IC: "Well, we have heard the decision. It is decided, recruitment will begin and new economic standards will be set at a later date. Anyone wish to report on their standings, as of now?"
"I have a comment to make about the recent NATO conference in my country. None of you attended it........"
"None of us were aware, Celackian delegate." Victor smiled wryly, "if it is a conference, it should be made known. Especially if it is as important as you make it."
" did make an annoucement. I tried to bring it to your attention. I in fact know that Haraki knew becuase they responded to our invite...."
"Well then, I am sorry that we did not get it. You know things are rough in Ruhr, currently. Especially for the past few years. But none the less, any other problems or issues to be discussed?"
Jaime turned to the Celackian delegate. "I happened to be busy at the moment, dealing with a terrorist crisis inside my nation, and trying to save the lives of innocent people."
I.C.
"You could have sent somebody else....Also I do believe that there is a growing anti-NATO sentiment among many countries amongst the world. How can we combat this?"
"Which countries?" Jaime asked quietly andpolitely.
"the lake formaly known as Jono-land... I would say that there are amny other out there. I would guess that N0rth korea mgiht be behind this."
"Jono Land for some reason seems to bear a grudge against me and my nation," Jaime said in an off-handed way. "He started a pact against me, that is no threat to Haraki alone, let alone the multitude of allies it packs. North Korea seems to be the only actual threat to NATO."
Victor sighed, "It is just simply the amount of nations whom assume we are pro capitalism. We are neutral, they cannot simply declare war on us because we are named 'NATO'." He smiled, "This issue is dismissed. Any others?"
OOC: Haraki...you're up to bat!
"I believe the second issue was a standing force?" Jaime said to Victor.
O.O.c. oh shit.......Not this part.....
Never mind...
"I believe the second issue was a standing force?" Jaime said to Victor.
"Internal issues, complaints. You know, stuff not on the agenda which should be addressed."
"Ah yes," Jaime said with the slightest of frowns, as though he had forgotten, although he hadn't. "It has recently come to my - And Victor's - attention that Celack and Derieties seem to start an unusual amount of wars, compared to the rest of NATO. They always seem eager to enter a fight, as opposed to the rest of NATO, who only steps in when there is no further option."
"What???"
Tuesat stood up.
"I have never done such a thing. Can you name such incidents? if you can I will gladdly concede your point if there were evidence but this is a complete lie!"
"This history of warmongering has stricken us. And quite frankly, we haven't seen a decline in events. Might I remind you all that Derieties was the reason for roughly 10,000 Ruhrian Soldiers dying in combat in the Melkor Wars, while Derieties soldiers did nothing. My forces fought while his 'defended'. Not only did this cause great discomfort with his decisions, but his responsibilities."
"I took no part in the Melkor war while the rest of you rushed off to it and your soliders deaths."
Jaime turned to the Celackian representative. "Victor, I have no energy for this. Could you, please?"
"Also the north korean war. i saw no evidence on why we should go to war but you two rushed off to it. And you call me a warmongerer....."
"Tuesat, you promised forces in the war and never sent them in." He sighed. "You also are to blame for lack of troops. Not only that, but NATO was issued a direct order not to aid or attack Fluffy Wuffy back in that war. Unfortunately, you did. You went to war. Also, when given issues of alliance matters such as courses of actions, you are quick to assume positions of war. It is not well respected in NATO, a primarily peacekeeping force."
"Might I remind you, Celack, that you seem to be pointing to Haraki as a war-wanting country. I took no aprt in the Melkor Wars. I am probably the nation taking the smallest part in the war against North Korea. I have fought no major wars in the past while. So do not point the finger of blame at me," Jaime said.
"Tuesat, you promised forces in the war and never sent them in." He sighed. "You also are to blame for lack of troops. Not only that, but NATO was issued a direct order not to aid or attack Fluffy Wuffy back in that war. Unfortunately, you did. You went to war. Also, when given issues of alliance matters such as courses of actions, you are quick to assume positions of war. It is not well respected in NATO, a primarily peacekeeping force.""i never promised forces in those wars. I never attacked nor aided Fluffywuffy in anywars since WW5."
"Also the north korean war. i saw no evidence on why we should go to war but you two rushed off to it. And you call me a warmongerer....."
"North Korea directly attacked Ruhr. Where was Celack? No where to be found! No aide, no troops, no nothing! While you sat and idled, Ruhrian, Oglethorpian, Alvarezistani, Li Tania, Coriella, Sigma Octavus, White Tundran, and Harakin troops were bravely fighting. Even Derieties sent several thousand troops! Right now, it is a success! Yet you decided not to participate!"
"and yet I played no part on the NK war because I was not told that they had attacked ruhr. but you see fit to point the finger at me."
Tuesat sat down thinking about the fact that NK attacked ruhr. He was going to fire that diplomat.
o.o.C. actually I just found out that NK started the war.
"I am pointing my finger at you because you decided not to honor the Alliance code of mutual defence! For that, I am issuing a vote of no confidence for Celack for his position on the Head Council. As well as Derieties." Victor looked around, "Any seconds?"
"Celack seems quick to rush into wars that are not NATO-related and idle in every war regarding the alliance," Jaime said pointedly.
He turned to Victor. "You beat me to the words (OOC: Literally). I second both votes."
"perfect. I recieved no indication that NK attack ruhr from my diplomats and I did not see fit to enter the melkor war. I only entered one war that did not concer NATO and that was WWV because Drum Gods kille my diplomats. I helped both of you in your times of need and this...this is how you repay me?????? If this is what NATO has come too I want no part of it. I am resigning."
Tuesat walked out of the room.
Jaime closed his eyes, leaning back in his chair. "I had hoped that could have gone better, Victor..." he said quietly.
He opened his eyes again to look at Katarina from Derities.
I just hope she's more reasonable.
OOC: I already spoke with Sigma about it. I know his vote. I will RP for him and he can confirm later.
IC:
The Sigma Octavian delegate spoke, "I also vote for it."
Victor rose, and then called the guards in. "It is now known that Derieties and Celack are no longer on the Head Council. Their positions will be replaced and the meeting will continue. You are now regular members of NATO until we see your actions are commendable. If they are not, you are to pay fines administered by NATO Head Council or face expulsion. Have a good day, gentlemen." Victor turned to the guards, "Escort them to their transports."
o.o.c. Tuesat has left the building
I.C. Tuesat got into hsi helicopter and wept. He thoguth these men were his comrades but since he had an incompetent diplomats they lept upon his liek a wolf upon a steak.
Jaime turned to the others. "As our Head Council has been reduced to a barely-half size, I vote we appoint Oglethorpia to the position of Head Council Member."
"Oglethorpia and Coriella. We had supported Coriella since their rebirth. He also was in charge of the CAF members when they merged. It would be good diplomatically to have him on the Head Council."
"I second Coreillia. We just need the one last vote to make the two appointments unanimous, which is what they need." He turned to slowly look at the Sigma Octavius delegate.
OOC: I would continue, but I do not know what Sigma will say about this section. I think temporarily we should also appoint Alvarezistan as a junior member to the board, because when we go under reformation one of us will take general Secretary General. We need that board to sit there and vote, and that secretary general would only put in his input and veto on certain matters.
OOC: By Board do you mean the Council?
As tuesat rode back to the Céçï, he started to read the newspaper.
"poor riots in ruhr"
He began to plot. Some might call it devious,some traitorus. He called it revenge.
OOC: By Board do you mean the Council?
OOC: Yes, I always confuse the two.
OOC: Ruhr, I'm with you there. So tyhe Secretary General will just be like the vice-president or something?
IC:
Jaime spoke once more. "I also call for a new Head of Council vote, as Derieties, our ex-Head of Council, has just been evicted from his seat around this table."
"Very well, motion seconded by Ruhr. Continue, Haraki."
Edit: The Secretary General would be more or less the president. Generally deciding how much force is needed, and setting up plans of action. He basically is in charge at the meetings, and most of the time will voice his opinion but have no vote. He has the right to Veto though in a check and balance set-up.
"However, we have a small problem here. We have three Head Council members. Odds are each of us will getone vote. I nominate the motion that in this election none of us may vote for ourselves, to make the decision decisive."
"Very well, the motion will be delayed until we can get a vote from an entire head council, and the member body."
Sigma Octavus

(Wait, who am I voting for? Oglethorpia or Coreillia? Oh well. Whoever.)
The delegate spoke up. "I vote for them to enter the head council."
"The decision is unanimous. Both Coriella and Oglethorpia will be the next members of the NATO Head Council. After their entrance, we will continue with our agenda."
Two delegates from the countries were fetched, upon their arrival the meting will continue.
Jack heard the news from his secretary that Coreillia had been apointed to the NATO Head Council. He was shocked, but very glad of this. He walked out his office door, grabbed his coat off the hook outside his door, and walked towards the stairs.
He quickly travelled up the stairs going to the roof, to take off in the Black hawk helicopter assigned to him.
When he got to the top the Marine pilots had the chopper running, he ran towards the chopper and climbed in.
The chopper quickly took off towards the NATO HQ in Solo City.
Tuesat thought about his plan. it was not correllia's fault and he should warn them
He picked up the phone and started to call the correllian leader.
O.O.C. if this is not the thread to post this in then what is?

He picked up the phone and started to call the correllian leader.
O.O.C. if this is not the thread to post this in then what is?
Jack watched as the chopper approached to land on top of the NATO Building. Jack picked up the radio mic, and called into the building.
"This is President Jack Bush, we are just about to land. I should reach the meeting room within the next 5 minutes. Thank you very much Over and Out."
The chopper landed, and Jack hopped out, and walked towards the entrance to the stairway that led into the building.
He nodded his head at a armed guard at the entrance.
(OOC: Just read your post Celack)
Jack was about halfway down the stairway when his cell phone rang. He grabbed his phone off hsi belt, and clicked send. "Hello, President Jack Bush speaking...."
Only a few important people knew how to reach his phone directly.
As the guards come up and take Katarina's arms to escort her out, she glares at them, and they fall unconcious. Turning, she seems to gain a presence, dark and powerful (ooc: think galadriel in LOTR when she is offered the ring. scariness). She begins to yell. "You blame ME for my fathers mistakes?" she shouts in their direction. "You evict our great nation, one of the founders of this alliance, from the head council? I shall go, and I shall even leave you your lives, but let it be known that we shall no longer be an ally of NATO, nay, you may now count me among your greatest of enemys. Goodbye, for the next time you see me shall be your last"
"listen Jack it's Tuesat..... I need you to listen. I have quit nATO. I was removed from head council by those traitors Firestrom and Walf. I am warning you of them and that if civil war breask out in ruhr keep your troops out of there for their safety."
"..nice talking to you tuesat. I was just told of my promotion. Ruhr is an ally of mine, if civil war breaks out, and he needs me I will have to risk my troops. He is a great ally, just like you are."
Jack was shocked, a civil war in Ruhr. He would have to look into it for sure.
"I am not sure he is such a great ally. he backstabbed me without warning. be careful. I am asking you as a friend to save your troops lives."

Phillip Marovich Government Building
4:41 PM OST: Oglethorpia City, Oglethorpia
Paul Baker got up out of his office and headed for Newell's: two doors down on the right, the text on the shrouded window reading 'FOREIGN RELATIONS BUREAU' and below it 'GORDON NEWELL.'
"Newell - got some news for you," said Minister of Information Paul Baker, just outside the doorjam of the dark mahogany-sided office with it's offwhite walls.
"What is it, Baker?" Newell asked, looking up from his large wooden desk.
"NATO message," he said, walking into the office and handing him the folded sheet of paper.
"Thanks," Gordon Newell said as he began to unfold the message.
"No problem," Baker mentioned as he left the office.
"Hmmm," he said, scanning over the message detailing Oglethorpia's admittance into the NATO head council.
"Baker - while you're at it, fetch Darrel Higgenbottom. He's to represent Oglethorpia at the NATO meeting; i'll arrange for him the flight to Coreillia," Newell said, picking up his phone and dialing.
"Will do," Baker replied.
"Thanks again."
Soon Higgenbottom had entered Newell's office, taking a seat on the wall that faced Newell's desk. Darren Higgenbottom was a man 6 ft 2 in stature, cleanshaven with nondescript brown hair, wearing a dark-brown suit and a red tie.
"Mr. Higgenbottom," Newell began. "Your first Foreign Relations Bureau business. An important one, I might add."
"Yes, sir," Higgenbottom replied.
"I assume Baker detailed you on what's going on?"
"Yes, sir."
"Ah, yes. Well, i'm sure you'll do Oglethorpia proud," he said, scanning over the young gentleman, 27 years in age. "Right, now there's a car outside that'll take you to the airport, drive you out to the tarmac, and to the waiting business jet."
"Noted."
"Good luck," Newell said with a slight smile.
Soon Higgenbottom had arrived in Coreillia and the appropriate officials driven him to the NATO Building. Higgenbottom had to remind himself that he was there for a meeting, taken aback by the granduer and beauty of the NATO hq in Coreillia.
Higgenbottom entered the meeting room, taking the appropriate seat, ready to introduce himself when called upon.
Jack hung up after saying good bye to Tuesat. He was troubled by that message.
He ran down the remaining stairs, and quickly found an elevator on the top floor. He walked into the elevator, and pressed the -8 button, that led to the meeting room.
After a 5 minute wait in the elevator with, fortunatly two stops, one for somebody to get on, then get off again at a few floors down.
He walked to the guards, and showed his identification and walked in.
"Hello, Thank you for allowing Coreillia a spot on the NATO Head Council. As you know, I am President Jack Bush, and am very honoured by this position."
He reached out his hand to shake the Head Council delegates hands.
"Welcome to the meeting, Gentlemen. I am happy to announce that you two are now representatives of your respective nations, which are now Head Council members. Back onto the unscheduled agenda, who will vote for a Head Council Junior member who has no vote but a lot of say and training to fill the position incase an incident like before happens again and the junior member can fill the spot?"
<tag>
OOC: Very good, shortly...you will come into play.
"I would suggest Alvarezistan, as he has proven himself in NATO. He would have my vote."
Jack liked Alvarezistan and thought that they would be a good Junior Head Council member. He hoped that the others agreed.
"My only problem with Alvarezistan is his membership in CACE." Victor frowned, he looked at the table. "Aside from that though, gentlemen, he is a great choice."
"Well that is a problem, but maybe it can be solved. Do you think we could solve that?" Jack really wanted him to get in, but he looked around nervously, hopeing the others would agree.
"Well, we can certainly avoid it. I believe a NAP with CACE would be fitting. If we can negotiate one, I am sure that his presence on the board will be welcome."
"A NAP sounds great, it will help us in the long run as well. I think we should get right on that. If we can get a NAP, then for sure he would make an excelland Jr. Head Council Member." Jack thought that while they were talking about Non Agression Pacts, he might as well bring up a case for SCORE. "Another NAP that I hope we can get done is with SCORE, if they do not end up merging with us."
OOC: Just lemme know when I'm ICly informed of this.
"Well, now that we have five members of the Head Council here, we can take a vote. Now being added to the agenda is the election of a Secretary General, as well as the addition of a Junior Head Council state."
Jack got out of his chair and stood up, he glanced at all the members at the meeting.
"Well, you know my vote for Junior Member, and you shouldn't be surprised about my secretary General nomination. I would like to nominate the delegate of Ruhr for NATO Secretary General. I have full confidence in Ruhr, and I the rest of you do to."
Jack sat down slowly, he had a quick thought that he was veing rather outspoken at his first council meeting, but quickly pushed that idea out of his head.
Bump.
First off:
We need to make Ruhr Sec Gen
We need to make Alvarezistan a full member
Jaime stood. "I second the vote to make Ruhr Secretary-General of NATO, and I would like to bring another matter to hand."
"Very well, Jaime. The vote will take place after your issue."
Jaime nodded to Victor, showing his thanks. "I would like to debate the admittance of the nation of Kijin into the ranks of NATO. I know the leader personally, and they are a dear friend of mine. I personally vouch for them, and their skills as a leader."
OOC: I know them IRL, and they're really great. They use proper grammar and all.
"Well if the nation Kajin can perform and fulfill NATO duty, I would support their entrance. Jaime, what does Kajin have to offer?"
OOC: It's Kijin
IC:
Jiame chuckeld. "I'm glad you asked. Kijin is one of the smaller nations we discussed about allowing in earlier. They benefit NATO in many ways. One, they aid our economies, and theirs by being in NATO. Second, they provide more strength to NATO, although it is a small amount right now. It grows to be much more later. And, it shows to other small nations that we allow small nations in, giving us a better reputation."
