THE REPUBLIC OF AUSTAR UNION: Anatoba

The President of the Austar Union was proud. Alongside Credonia, he had finnally established the new alliance. Of course, while it being new, there still would be some debate on its policies etc, but the President was eager to establish it.

I will provide you with a background check if you want? That is if you are officially applying...

Yes, I am officially replying..

Yes, I am officially replying..

Well, as soon as you make a RP post about signing the constitution, I will add you to the list of members....;)

Your background Check has come up as clear...

The WestUkrainian representative, Minister of Foreign Affairs Mike Randl, stood up and walked over to where the document was at. Taking out the gold pen used to sign such documents by WestUkraine for ages, he signs his name and, then below, WestUkraine. Looking up, he smiled turned around and resumed sitting down, patiently waiting for the others to sign the document signing this great alliance, Concordia, into existance.

The delegate from Axis Nova signs the document with a quick flourish of his pen.

Berrik

Dimmimar was also not on the negotiatians, but would like to join.

Feel free to do a background check....

Kelonia would also like to partake in the signing of this great document.

Background check all you need...

Dimmimar and Kelonian States; Your background checks come up as clear...you just need to sign...

I, High Imperator Dotage acknowledge this treaty

The Sicrati Prime Minister Armadi C. Quran signs the constitution.

The Emperor, Tamazoid I, ascends to the table and signs the treaty to enter Isochronous into Concordia.

The Republic of Eredron considers the proposed Concordia a measured and reasonable international alliance; by a vote of 420-80, the Eredronian Senate of Majorities has voted to seek application and membership into the Concordia Alliance.

Due to current issues within Iuthian politics we are unsure whether we want to be part of any large alliance... as such we shall re-evaluate our situation and try and make sence of it.

*The Fed union sends its signture VIA Telltype or E mail . *

Im not even sure I can join but Mafikeng urged me to sign so: **signs it** if im not welcome **doesent signs it**

Any room for a new member? We are evaluating the merits of joining provided it does not clash with our obligations under the Defenders of the Faith (DotF alliance).

Yes there is room of course. You are welcome to make a formal request...

Will this forum be the one used for all alliance business or will otheres be created for the different bodies within it? Ans should we all move to one region,to be called Concordia?

No region is needed...

And I am modifying the current forum used for the talks to turn it into the alliance forum. (Will TG all members the details once its done)

Very well.

I would like to take this time to congratulate my close ally, the Empire of Camewot on accession to the Alliance of Concordia. I can personally vouch for the Empire and believe she will become a key and valued member.

I'll reveiw your case later...im tired and going to bed....;)

As the first move towards becoming a worthy member of this great new alliance, Premier Maksim F. Romaninko signed the document with a smile on his face - This was another step in Kelonia's emergence onto the world stage after so long in isolation...

Signed and Ratified

Signed and ratified... we fully understand our obligation and will be quoting this constitution when we feel it is not clear.

*the delegate looks over the final papers,shaking his head.*
"Well gentlemen, i am afraid that Kihameria will not be joining this allience, we thank the AU for allowing us to attened, good day"
*the Kihamerian delegate got up and picked up his papers and his suitcase, and then nodded and left,followed by his guards.*

We are proud to have the likes of Iuthia, and Kay Son onboard Concordia (lol that sounds funny). We do regret to see the Kilhermerian delegate leaving, but we do respect their desision.

On the matter of Friyusistan:

Your nation appears to have a rather shaky, and short history, so it is difficult to tell of your intentions / valuablility to Concordia. Therefore, for the time being, I will have to DENY you entry into Concordia. We apoligise.

You've made your decision, and we accept it. But for you to know: yes, we are young and still don't have a great story, but we are a loyal nation who as helped his allies when it was needed. We hope you reconsider your decision in the future.

IC:

The Freethinker Representative Claire Voyant moves up to the podium, looks over the document one last time, and signs her name on the paper on behalf of the Freethinkers.

We would like to ask permission to join an alliance that is for once just for the betterment of the signees.

[I notice a few nations that I know personally, but most of the faces are new. A good thing, extending ones horizons.]

Lord Rift signs and recognizes Dumpsterdam as a member of Concordia.

Long last the alliance.

FPS is curious as to whether or not it would be allowed into this alliance. I applied once during the negotiations, but you weren't really yet established, and so I held off for a bit. Anyway, now I'm back. Any chance of me getting in?

Beg pardon, forget to let you know I'd be on holiday...
