Announcing the International Trade and Defense Agreement

02-02-2004, 00:19
The Imperial High Council of Cobal wishes to formally announce plans for the creation of a grand new alliance of nations. The International Trade and Defense Agreement will bring interested and commited nations worldwide together in an alliance designed to bring economic prosperity and complete military protection for all countries involved.

The High Council of Cobal hopes to bring together like-minded nations from regions all over the world to begin negociations on the creation the ITDA. The Empire of Cobal will be hosting these negociations in the capital city of Talaris, graciously suspending immediate non-essencial government issues in order to accomodate the talks within the Cobalian Hall of Rule and Judgement. To show our interest in the importance of these negociations, all international representatives will stay in the Cobal Imperial Palace and enjoy all the accomodations and luxuries Cobal has to offer for the duration of their stay. For those with safety concerns, all representative nations will be allowed to bring a full detachment of guard or security forces up to 50 men in number. It should be noted that all "honorary" escort vehicles of any kind, be they aircraft, sea or ground-based, can number no more than 10. The Empire of Cobal respectfully asks that any craft of capital-size and strength or higher not travel with the honorary escort as this may cause unforseeable problems in terms of accomodation and relations with other nations.

Submitted for the approval of the representatives of interested nations are the ground rules Cobal wishes to establish as the basis for the negociations:

1) Member nations join with the intent of providing military and economic support to any other member nation which is attacked, without provocation, by an invading force.

2) All negociating nations bring to the table of discussion a plan submitting exactly what economic and military resources they are willing to provide, share or trade with other nations. This includes both present and future resources.

3) Trade rules are established and agreed upon before the official signing of the agreement. This means that any and all economic benefits interested nations wish to receive from this agreement be addressed upon entering negociations. With-holding your nation's interests to exploit some aspect of the discussions will result in immediate explusion from the negociations. If discovered at a later date, the nation will be expelled from the ITDA without question.

4) The agreed upon terms of the ITDA be met fully by each member nation. Proper punishment will be decided upon during the discussions for nations who fail to live up to the agreed terms in anyway.

The Imperial High Council of Cobal thanks any and all who are interested in this most grand ideal designed to bring peace and prosperity.

OOC: I'm a newb for anyone who's wondering and this is my first attempt at an RP in international incidents. Please give this idea a chance as its my fledging nation's attempt at making a place for itself in the world :)

OOC: bump. come on people, no one's interested?

IC: After further reviewing the announcement statement released for the ITDA, the Empire of Cobal wishes to clarify its position on nations who will be allowed to enter negociations. No anarchist, fundamentalist or overty liberal nation is encouraged to join. Any points brought up which are considered extremist in nature will be ignored out of hand. Should national representatives fail to conduct themselves in a respective and proper manner, they and their security will be forcibly removed from Talaris and Cobal.
