Knootian-Skargardian island crisis resolved

“Good evening, today officials from every party in Skargarden held a meeting to decide in issues regarding the whole relationship between Knootoss and Skargarden. The leading party, Moderaterna lead by President Sedin Krak had a major upper hand in voice majority but the result was bluffing anyway, 54.6% of the government (where Moderaterna holds 60% of the total votes). The talks with Knootoss was resumed and the President and the Knootian Prime Minister Lousewies van der Laan continued their meeting in The Hague more exactly in the appropriate place called ‘Peace Palace’. The meeting was going on in behind shut doors and no one really knew what was going on before they finally stepped out 3 days later shaking hands and looking quite tired from the pressure they’ve experienced.

It’s been though. Mrs. van der Laan is a much more capable negotiator than me but I think that the new deal we got is more than acceptable from both our views. I only hope that the rest of the government is accepting it or I’ll have to keep the Knootian Prime Minister in here for another three days, but I wouldn’t mind

The treaty-papers were sent to Skargarden capitol Malmo to be viewed and accepted by the rest of the governing bodies. And we can gladly say that every piece of the governing body accepted the treaty.

"I am truly very relieved that this situation has been resolved. It appears that both parties just needed to level for a moment and seek some common ground. And yes, I am very pleased with the result because we Knootians value peace above all and if we need to make a concession to give the Skargardians peace of mind we'll do just that."


Prime minister van der Laan also said that "the continued friendship between both our peoples can now be combined with a feeling of security in the region."

The treaty involves the military base on the island will still be standing there but this time Skargardian and Knootian forces will man the base together, with a rotating command.
It is believed that thusly, Skargarden can keep happenings on the island in check and ensure regional stability.

It was agreed that the economic relations between Skargarden and Knootoss would remain, as well as retaining the military pact. Skargarden parliament however insisted that the Knootian/Menelmacari pact be thoroughly evaluated after a year.

Aperin Continental News: International Press Release

In light of the agreement reached between the DDR of Knootoss and the Disputed Territories of Skargarden regarding particulars having to do with trade relations and military presence on the island now known as Nieuw-Nederland, the Coalition of Anti-Capitalist Economies has withdrawn its treaty offer to Skargarden.

The CACE treaty offer, drafted by the Xikuangese Elected General Committees for International Affairs and for Domestic Harmony and approved by the CACE body, had in exchange for Skargarden's agreement not to join or enter into trade relations with nations associated with either the WBO or Sato offered a CACE-brokered non-aggression pact between Skargarden and Svea Riga; free aid as necessary to rebuild and restore Skargardeni cities and structures damaged by their recent wars with Svea Riga; the option to sign the Bridge Economic Treaty; lastly to outbid the DDR of Knootoss for the purchase of the island in question, the intent being to establish CACE-managed, but nationally neutral facilities to co-ordinate international relations, trade relations with Economic Treaty signatories, and to serve the interests of peace and stability throughout the whole of Aperin, or the purchase of a similar island at favourable rates, should the offer in the case of the particular island not be acceptable.

"Naturally we were hoping that the Skargardeni officials would approve, but apparently the Knootians offered something better." commented Chair of the Elected General Committee for Domestic Harmony Ahn Thi. "We were particularly hopeful about the peace proposal between Svea Riga and Skargarden, and we remain hopeful that an arrangement between the two will be reached. We hope that the current arrangements do not complicate affairs on that front."

When asked to comment regarding the possibility that the military base would be used as the forward point in any aggressive actions towards the CACE or other Aperinian nations, Elected General Councillor Xiang Kalsang, Chair of the Elected General Committee for International Affairs, answered negatively. "We don't think so. Following the recent exposition of the plot to invade Aperin, (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=91160&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) defence alerts in the CACE nations have stepped down. We'll be watchful, as always, as is only reasonable given recent events, but we don't anticipate any bother. We hope that eventually the base will be disbanded."

CACE relations with Skargarden are expected to be altered only minimally in the full expectation that peace and stability will be maintained.
