~From the desk of Lord Damien the Destroyer, Supreme Warlord of the Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek~

The New Alliance Treaty Organization will be looking for nations to join this alliance. Long ago, the name of NATO was widely heard of and highly respected by most, and it is a great day for all of us that this alliance has been reborn.

Celack and Sigma Octavus, the only two surviving founding nations have accepted their invitations to rejoin.

If you would like to join: please make an official government statement expressing interest in joining. Your application will be processed and decided upon by Automagfreek, Celack, and Sigma Octavus. If you are a former member of NATO, please state so in your application. If you have been accepted, you will receive a telegram.

We will choose only the best and most worthy nations for this alliance. Trouble makers will not be admitted under any circumstance. After we get a roster set up, all member nations will discuss a charter and or mission statement. This may or may not be the same as the old NATO charter, but this will be decided upon.

At this time, the Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire is officially expressing its interesting joining the New Alliance Treaty Organization. The Grand Duchy looks forward to the possibility of future cooperation under the umbrella of this once, and future, great alliance.

"Euroslavia has been looking for an alliance, in which all members of the alliance would be respectable nations, yet very influential politically and militarily. We have yet to find this 'perfect alliance', but this one seems like it could have that potential. We do believe in a strong military to defend our homeland, and because of that, we are consistently updating our military, and making new units capable of much more. We were also a member of an alliance AMF created before, that contained the economic superpowers of NS, just to mention. We are very interested in the NATO alliance and wish to join it, that is, if Automagfreek and Co. wish for me to be in it. We hope that you see this potential in Euroslavia and we do hope that we may become a part of this grand alliance. I thank you for your time, and best wishes to AMF, Celack, and Sigma Octavus in choosing the best nations for NATO."

In respect,
Minister James Steele

7:00 Hours; Presidential Palace; Grenval City, Grenval

As president of Grenval, I would implore that my great nation be admitted into NATO. I believe the military might, along with the moral high standing of Grenval makes us the perfect candidate. While Grenval is anti-imperialism, we tolerate other imperialistic nations and do not senselessly jump into war. However, we are willing to defend ourselves, while always placing our sovereignty and the sovereignty of others foremost. Our strong network of alliances could also be useful, along with our economic might. Thank you for your time and please consider our message carefully.

President George
Ruler of Grenval

Official Statement
Doujin, after careful consideration, has deemed it worthy of seeking membership in the New Alliance Treaty Organization.

Encoded message from the Imperial capital of Sdaeriji


TO: Lord Damien the Destroyer, Automagfreek
FROM: Chairman Ilsuo Santite, Sdaeriji


After careful consideration, the Imperial Foreign Relations Commission voted unanimously to seek membership in this New Alliance Treaty Organization. Ended are the days of the Imperial Dominion's isolationism. In order to survive, we must seek out foreign alliances, if only to defend ourselves from potential aggressors. We leave the matter of our admittance in the capable hands of Lord Damien and the government of Automagfreek. We eagerly await confirmation. Thank you.

Respectfully,
Chairman Ilsuo Santite
Imperial Dominion of Sdaeriji

Again we would like to note our interest in such an alliance, though we would have to wait until the process of alliance design is complete before being able to make our judgement on whether to join or not.

Should you deem Iuthia worthy of such an alliance we will make a point of observing the creation process and adding our input should it be welcome, if it is to our satisfation we will gratify the treaty and join the alliance.

I should note that Iuthia has a preference in individual alliances these days as they are often stronger and more personal then the traditional "group" alliance... we are hoping that with high quality nation and a strong political presence this alliance will prove to be as strong and worthwhile as a bunch of alliances made with each member.

Thanks,

Foriegn Minister Mick Lakely, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

What's NATO's purpose?

The Republic of Sevaris wishes to join NATO.

To this date all of the Imperium's alliances are either very specialized or regional affairs that very rarely have any impact upon the world at large. Because of this the Imperium suffers from relative obscurity on the world stage, we seek to amend this fault through joining NATO, if Lord Damien would have us.

Asiya Saleh,
Duchess Alexandria,
Director of Foreign Services

Official Government Statement
The government of Doomingsland wishes that our interest in joining this great alliance be noted. We hope you will take our request at membership in NATO under careful consideration.

Emporer Helldawg V

Occ: An alliance proposed by AMF, Ill bet it doesnt get many members. ;) Oh well, might as well throw in mine too.

Ic: Although small, Canan beleives itself to be a somewhat big player on the international level. And although we do not have an overly large military, as the nation of Automagfreek, we will fight for our allies when called apon and democracy has broken down.

With that said I, on the behalf of the entire nation of Canan, would like to submit this as an application to join NATO.

Sincerely,
Franklin Murphy,
Franklin Murphy
Canan Foreign Minister

OOC: Canan, actually, if you turn have your logic there do a 180, you'd be right :P

The Free Lands of Zoogiedom is mildly surprised that NATO has reorganized itself and is ready for recruitment so quickly. This is a good sign, and we have expressed our interest in this alliance shortly after learning of its genesis. However, we hope you understand that we are wary about an alliance that does not yet have a charter, or a complete member list. We believe this alliance has fantastic potential and will become great, but we do not know if it will come with certain conflicts of interests in the charter and/or in member nations that we would find acceptable.

We are expressing our interest and our confidence in the alliance, and we are also stating that we would be proud to be a member of NATO, if it should accept us. However, sensibly, these statements cannot be final as there is much work ahead in the alliance, and the possibility that an arche-enemy of Zoogiedom would also wish to join...we hope that you understand our concerns at this time.[Consider this an application nevertheless]

Zoogiedom.

The Commonwealth has shown interest in joining the New Alliance Treaty Organization as proposed by the nation of Automagfreek. As an active member of both the OMP and CAP, we are seeking like-minded nations with the same values. Though we believe in a strong international presence, we also do not wish for this to be overshadowed by excessive military action. Granzi hopes this alliance will be populated by respected and honorable members. We thank you in advance for your consideration of this application.

Nathanial Sun,
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Commonwealth of Granzi

The nation of Artitsa wishes to join this fine alliance. Should we be accepted, we would be more then willing to commit our military to foreign service.
Signed,

We are hereby expressing our interest in joining the new NATO. I feel that we need to develop strong relations with other nations.

The Omzian Democratric Federal Republic, upon the acknowledgment of the recruitment process has been initated within the NATO organization, is very interested in the participation in this organization. Being a nation with new hopes for new and friendly relationships with various other nations, and being eager to seek other nation whom shares the Omzian Republic's hopes and values, we are very interested in being a member of the NATO organization once again after the various tides of trouble in NATO (and later, Ruhr), and are also very interested in lending a helping hand to revive this alliance.

After careful considerations by the Supreme Administration, the President, the Parliament, and the Federal Council, and the passing of Legislation A533, we have made the decision to announce our intentions to apply for membership of the organization. As a former member of the origional NATO organization, we are very eager to be a positive member of the alliance, while promoting peace and a network of positive and renewed relationships among the fellow members. We also hope that this alliance is what we are looking for after the old NATO collapsed - a group of nation whom shares the same values, promotes strong relationships between each member, united - and not a loose group of nations tied by only empty promises of military coopreation.

Should the administration of NATO deem that we are fit for the participation of the new alliance as a former member of the old NATO, we are looking forward to not only being a part of the group and seek and renew strong ties with all members of the alliance (and abandoning old conflicts and disagreements created years ago to seek for renewed relations and trust among nations), but also contributing to the alliance in every possible way as a member.

Signed,

Danora Rankan (Representive),
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

FROM: SCHULTARIA PRIME, SCHULTARIA PRIME
TO: ULE CITY, AUTOMAGFREEK

An official statement from the Central Directorate of Schultaria Prime


On behalf of the over one billion residents of Schultaria Prime and the Protectorate of Islandia Schultaria, our nation would like to extend our hand in honest friendship to the member nations of the New Alliance Treaty Organization. In an increasingly unstable climate of wonton destruction and careless leaders slaughtering tens of millions of innocents over the decades, Schultaria Prime has felt itself precariously alone in the international scene. Though we consider ourselves relatively obscure in the global arena, we do provide a wealth of technological, governmental, and pure scientific achievement to the international scene.

Though the Schultarian Kamor Collabrai (Schultarian Defense Force) is relatively well trained and undergoing a period of modernization, we feel that our nation might not provide nearly enough military support as you require. In one hundred and fifteen years of existence, our nation has deployed our soldiers once on foreign soil, but has never faced any direct offensive action. However, we do believe that Schultaria Prime could help to improve NATO's defensive capabilities through access to our world renowned research facilities and the extensive capabilities of our state industries.

Last, but certainly not least, our nation feels that we could be a great influence in establishing a viable charter and political structure for NATO. If you would be as kind as to visit the work our nation has done to compose The Grand Charter and Constitution of TAPRES and various treaties of Protective Union, we believe that you might find us to be of invaluable assistance in this alliance's embryonic state.

The treaties are found in the following places:

Grand Charter and Constitution of TAPRES:
http://s8.invisionfree.com/TAPRES/index.php?showtopic=5

The Treaty of Protective Union and Technological Exchange:
http://www.freewebs.com/emschultz/diplomacy.htm

We thank you for your time and consideration with our application. Let the light of knowledge shine bright for a better future for all.

With warmest regards,

Central Director Elliot Schultz
Director Joan Covey
Director Harlen Damien

Official Statement
-Wired through the ARSB Ministry of Foreign Affairs, originally written by Premier Boris Chlevenkov


The statement reads...
=================
The Armed Republic of Soviet Bloc wishes to state its interest in possibly joining this alliance. We have long considered ourselves slightly isolationist, only belonging to a few alliances and only maintaining relations with close and trusted allies. These experiences have lead us to develope new military technology as well as to drastically increase social reforms in our country. We feel that becoming a member of NATO will bring us to a new age, effectively shedding our 'slightly isolationist' image and emerging into the world to begin relations with all. We officially place our intention to join under the discretion of the NATO leadership.

We await the NATO leadership's decision upon our possible entry into this great alliance.



Boris Chlevenkov
-Premier, Armed Republic of Soviet Bloc

o.o.c. Goddammit! Why doesn't anyone acknoledge(sp?) me or SO as the people who will accept you into NATO. Damn you Auto for being reconizable!!!!! Otherwise how are we going to decide who gets in?

ooc: I only addressed AMF because it was Lord Damien who sent the actual communique telling everyone to apply.

Official Communique from the Bonstocknian Department of Foreign Affairs

To those who it may concern:

The Federal Republic of Bonstock, Maropian Coast, and the Sakishima Islands expresses great interest in joining the NATO alliance. We have newly acquired territories in the North Atlantic area (ooc: I invaded the Netherlands, Belgium, & Luxembourg during the RF/AU war), and we believe that joining this alliance will help consolidate our old on these territories and allow Bonstock to live in peace and prosper with the international community.

Our regards,

Harald, son of Gustav, lord of all Bonstocknians

Damien The Destroyer.
It has come to the Republic's attention that you've begun a selection process under the name of the NATO Alliance. After careful consideration, our beloved Fuhrer, Herr Lazlo has decided that Nazguul would like to extend it's gratitude to Automagfreek for forming such an alliance. We hope that you'll consider our formal application to join.

We realize that perhaps you'll have doubts about admittance, because we are leaning towards the right hand path but you'll see we are not "trouble-makers" and do not seek to cause it. We hope to hear from you.

TM me a list of those you approve of.

OOC: Ruhr declines.


The Armed Imperial Republic of Ruhr
Received: 34 minutes ago

NATO was actually renamed to the BDI, and I am still heading it up. I decline your offer, Ruhr is kicking ass in a war being held off forum and I don't necessarily care for this game anymore.

The Federation of Morathania would like to express its intrest in joining the New Alliance Treaty Organization, or NATO. We concider admission to this alliance as a wonderful opertunity to become part of an alliance that was strong and was one of the foremost alliances in Nationstates. We would like to help make this alliance better than the original. Thank you.
George Philips
Minister of Foreign Affairs

OOC: Note how I haven't said 'yes' to anybody yet. I'm waiting on your say as well as SO's.

TM me a list of those you approve of.
o.o.c. What i meant to say and what I typed are completely different things. Sorry. I meant to write that all invitations were adresses to you and nobody talked to me. I Guess I am insecure a bit. Also instead of "otherwise" I should have typed "On another note"....sorry bout that. ALos ihave sent my list.

From Constantine Graft, Ruler of IN to Damien the Destroyer:


Good Afternoon,
I have read your proposal that informed the world about your reformed alliance and how to gain entry to it, and I must say that I, on behalf of my nation, must present our bid to become part of this fine, yet exclusive, alliance. To not present a bid would be an unimaginable folly that would be unforgivable in the eyes of my nation.

I will start by presenting you with a few facts about the Shattered World of Intelligent Neighbors. We came to exist in our current state on the 12th January, 2004 (70 years, NS time) and since then have prospered under the guiding influence of The Kingdom of the Midlands, and its founder, Euroslavia. We were not involved in any wars for a while, until a close ally was the victim of an unprovoked attack. We responded at once, and rallying an multi-national army, beat back the perpetrator. The other war in which we were involved (which you probably remember) was the great Dr_Twist civil war. In their we fought on the side that we thought was the 'right' side. Unfortunately, we, and other allies of the DT Government, we proved mistaken when the ruler pre-emptively attacked your nation with nerve gas. After that we gave up the fight for him and left him to you... Now, our nation is proud to stand in The Right Wing Collective, another fine alliance.

We believe that we would be a valuable addition to your alliance, as we are no longer small and we have a Powerhouse of an economy that could lend support to nations needing NATO's help. We are firm anti-slavers and we hope that, by joining this alliance, we can put the issue on the world agenda once again.

Yours Sincerely,
Constantine Graft

The Maharajate of Magdha would like to join the alliance.

I humbly await your response-
Maharajah Rama Gupta of Magdha.

Chellis again expresses its wish to join NATO.

o.o.c. What i meant to say and what I typed are completely different things. Sorry. I meant to write that all invitations were adresses to you and nobody talked to me. I Guess I am insecure a bit. Also instead of "otherwise" I should have typed "On another note"....sorry bout that. ALos ihave sent my list.

OOC: That couldn't be farther from the truth. My release was to everyone, I didn't reference Automagfreek, rather "regional friends and allies" referencing all three of you :p

The Psychtically-Induced State of Dimmimar has expressed it's wish to join the NATO. However as Iuthia noted before, we would like to see the Alliance's charter and terms before commiting ourselves to any alliance.

Baron Manfred von Konan
Minister for Foreign Affairs

The Peoples Democratic Republic of Izistan expresses a great deal of interest in joining this alliance. We feel that it is time to begin serious diplomatic contact in the world.

The following admission list has been compiled. Any nation not on this list is still under discussion as we speak, and should not distress. The nations that are on this list can accept their admission, or hold off until the charter is displayed, then decide if they want to accept.

The following nations have been cleared for NATO admission by Automagfreek, Celack, and Sigma Octavus:

Iuthia
Scandinavian States
Hamptonshire
Euroslavia
Sdaeriji
Shultaria Prime
The Zoogie People
Omz222
Soviet Bloc
The Island of Rose
Samtonia
IDF
Kotterdam
Chellis


Again, if your nation is not listed we are still discussing it's admission. The nations listed here were all recommended for admission by all three parties.

We expect the old charter to be made public soon.

DARN. :headbang:

Euroslavia greatly accepts admission into NATO, and looks forward to more cooperation with its members. We thank AMF, Celack, and Sigma Octavus for their decision.

In Honor,
The Shogun of Euroslavia

The Republic of Agrigento would like to humbly request a chance to join this alliance. Often we have longed to become a part of something bigger on the global stage, and often we have been retarded either by our own humility or a simple lack of chances. However, today we would feel that our nation is ready to step into the diplomatic arena with nations of such repute as those already accepted into alliance.

Our ability to defend ourselves has never been disputed, and rarely have we asked for the help of others. Therefore we must make it clear that we wish to join this alliance not to become stronger, nor to hide behind our allies, but rather to take a more active role in foreign affairs, and to open stable, long term diplomatic relations with nation's we have had very little contact with, such as the aforementioned Automagfreek.

Thank you, and I hope you make a wise decision.

An official statement from the Central Directorate of Schultaria Prime


We extremely thankful for our nation's acceptance into the New Alliance Treaty Organization, and we hope to be a valuable addition towards its reemergence as a forceful and fair international power. Let it be known that our nation shall join as soon as our respective nations can process the necessary bureaucratic documents.

All of us in the Central Directorate of Schultaria Prime can offer a great deal of experience in the fields of charter and treaty composition, and we would be greatly honored if allowed the opportunity to assist NATO in redeveloping its Primary Charter or any subsidiary treaties you may require. If you wish, Schultaria Prime will be ready, willing, and able to tackle the legal problems of reforming the initial Charter of NATO to better combat the dramatic increase in international tension over the years. Please contact our nation if you would like our assistance.

Thank you immensely for the confidence you have not only placed in our government, but in our citizens as well. Schultaria Prime and the Protectorate of Islandia Schultaria have declared this a black letter date in the Schultarian Calendar; representatives from your nations are more than welcome to attend the festivities in the cities of Schultaria Prime, Edgen, Tarannu, the Eldaimovey Advanced Research Laboratories, Padersonia; the Capital City of Islandia Schultaria, or any one of the numerous smaller metropolitan areas that reside in the Central Plains of our nation.

Let the light of knowledge shine bright for a better future for all.

*MESSAGE TERMINATED*

OOC: If you do decide that I could be of service, I'll let you know beforehand that it usually takes me 3 to 7 days to write a provision. With the TAPRES charter, since I had to face the prospects of moving out of college and integrating into my summer job, it took me nearly a month to finish the entire document.

The old charter. This may be ratified before it is made final. Thank you Sigma Octavus for finding this.

Article 14
This Treaty, of which all Parties respective texts are equally authentic, shall be deposited in the archives of NATO. Duly certified copies will be transmitted by that Government to the Governments of other signatories.

To all whom it may concern:

Samtonia would respectfully like to address those responsible for the decision process in inviting in members of the "New" NATO, as it may be, and would wish to be considered for membership in this alliance of motivated and powerful nations.

Samtonia, though not necessarily the most known nation on Nationstates, has a proven track record of excellence in both roleplaying and diplomacy. Not one war in which Samtonia has been involved in has been the result of warmongering or Samtonian aggression and not one war Samtonia has been in has ever been lost by Samtonia.

Our military is not the only facet of Samtonia worthy of mention. We feel that the future of the world rests in the hands of new nations and have taken a number of steps in this direction. One was the now defunct New Nations Alliance (NNA), of which Samtonia was the founder and president of for its duration. This was an alliance dedicated to protecting and educating new RPers. Ask any of the nations involved- It was a successful endeavor while it was around. Samtonia is also currently sponsoring 'Ol Uncle Sam's RPing Clinic, which should hopefully teach the ins and outs of military roleplays to both old and new players on the world stage.

Samtonia also brings an economy of awesome potential to this alliance. With a population of over 1.3 billion, a frightening economy with an emphasis on uranium mining, arms production, and commercial ventures, as well as a tax rate of 100%, Samtonia can and will wholeheartedly support fellow alliance members in both times of trouble and peace with our full economic clout.

We would like to apologize for the length of our proposal, and would like to respectfully ask that our application be considered. Thank you.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Councilmember Hiriam J. Northrop

I will join this alliance and will be glad to provide shipyards where all members will get discounts and partial control of the Suez Canal, a vital artery to world trade.

The Armed Republic of Binthor has found it in its best interest to apply to join NATO. Althogh we lack in army and air force, we are gaining power in the navy. We will follow the charter and we will help our allies in the time of need. We feel that we can make a good addition to NATO.

[Hmm, I don't think we should be using a RL treaty.]

(That was written by Ruhr....as far as I know. I edited out Ruhr's name and replaced it with 'a representative of NATO' or something along those lines.)

OOC: Well, I'm quite busy at the moment (having limited access @ relatives' house). If we are making the charter soon (like within a few days), then sorry but I won't be able to respond. I'll be getting back fully on Monday. Also, I'll admit that I don't have much experience in writing treaties, but I have a few good ideas.

Joint Statement by the Omzian Democratic Federal Republic

The Omzian Democratic Federal Republic is extremely grateful for the acceptance into the organization, and is full ready to enter the organization. Upon reviewing the old Charter again, we are perfectly capable of meeting such requirements, although we fully expect being able to participate in the process of creating a new charter for the newborn alliance, to meet new requirements and changes around the world. The Omzian government is also ready to contribute to the organization via various diplomatic, economic, and even military means. We are looking forward to the start of the alliance, and we are eager to contribute to the redevelopment of NATO, with other nations who shares our values and strong ties, into a significant and strongly influential body of nations. We also send our warmest greetings to all members of NATO, and a thanks to all nations for the opportunites to coopreate and to gain better understandings.

Additionally, with the entrance into the NATO organization, the Omzian Democratic Federal Republic is prepared to open diplomatic channels and embassies with all nations in the alliance, and to reopen embassies and restore diplomatic relations and coopreation with the nation of Automagfreek, as the first step to set up coopreation within the reborn NATO organization. As a member, we are prepared to meet and welcome the kickoff of the NATO organization and its new members, and we are fully ready to rebuild NATO's structure and organization, including assistance in composing charters and other matters of the recreation of the alliance.

Once again, we are extremely satisfied that we have a chance to enter the alliance and contribute as much as we can, and we are grateful and thankful for that chance and hope that it can continue for us. We look forward to the everbright future that NATO will meetin the future - not only as an alliance with military powers, but also as a group of strong diplomats and economic powers, promoting peace, stability, and coopreation around the world.

Honourable Gagarin Vansare,
President of the Omzian Democratic Federal Republic

[Hmph, looks cribbed word for word to me. AFAIK there isn't any Article 51 in the NS United Nations. Furthermore, would it be a requirement to be a part of the UN?]

(Hell if I know....I suck at politics and stuff like that charter. Besides, we're going to write a new one. I hope. And by 'we're', I mean 'they're'.)

OOC: Here's an oversimplified version I have for you all:

Benefits:
Free Trade
Mutual Protection

Leadership:
Two Leaders, one handles Interior issues, the other handles Military issues. They are voted by the people, but they cannot vote for themselves. These people would essentially be a sort of Senate. The two leaders are the only ones that can introduce proposals to the Senate but only the Senate can pass them.

Checks and Balances, ripped right from the Governmental System of my Region which was ripped from the Roman Republic, which was ripped from Greece, which was ripped from Athens.

OOC: The treaty document posted is a near word for word replication for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Charter. I would also agree that we should not use a RL treaty as our Charter, but it can be used as 'inspiration'.

IC:

The Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire is delighted and elated that we will be able to take part in the upcoming NATO re-organization talks. While it is almost certain that we will become a member of NATO, we will not blindly agree to anything before a Charter and Organizational Scheme is drafted.

The Psychotically-Induced State of Dimmimar wishes to join NATO. We had our doubts, but now that the charter has been made, we are willing to submit our request for membership.

Baron Manfred von Konan
Minister for Foreign Affairs

OOC: To: AMF, SO, and Celajcalk (just kidding, I know it's spelled "Celack")

I might be interested in having WA join this group, but due to the inherently unstable nature of many such groups (ie, where certain members tend to magically have a "greater than normal" need to request the group's support) I would prefer to opt for a partial or "associate" status (such as Turkey and other nations have in the RL NATO, while they are under consideration for full membership)...so is this possible?

The screams of the dead almost overwhelmed Mr. Barlow as he ran for his life through the halls of Deathhooks. It was a long marathon, but nevertheless, fear kept his level of ecstasy up as he ran. Should he stop, he would be killed by the vanguished spirits that resided in the chambers. Should he turn back, he would become one of the spirits, at the mercy of the Evil Overlord. Should he continue running, he would deliver the message as he had been assigned.

With burning legs, he continued running, before finally he turned down a long corridor. For what seemed like forever, he panted, still running down the long, straight path that would lead him to his destination. After several seconds of utmost mental torture, Mr. Barlow burst into the throne room of which the Evil Overlord resided in.

Instantly, the room was filled with silence, yet was cold. So cold in fact, that Mr. Barlow began to shiver, then shake. Perhaps of the terror that now replaced his fear, or perhaps of the cold, he did not know. Nevertheless, he had a mission, and that was to deliver the message given to him to the Overlord of the Dominion.

Reading the message, Lord Sierus pondered, and thought out loud;

"What do you think Barlow? This NATO organisation would certainly help us break into the world scene. I have been watching for some time now, and it looks like this would help make the Dominion well known. My only concern is not that we might not be good enough. That question doesnt exist. But the true question, is NATO good enough for us? I ponder whether or not Automagfreek and his so called goons would even be adequate enough for us..."

Mr. Barlow was so overwhelmed with fear, not a sound came out of his throat. The dogs growling provided no assistance. Sierus continued;

"Although, despite saying that. If Damien Dreadfire isnt good enough, there isnt anything to say that we cannot dump him and his nation should we need to. Perhaps that in itself would show our true power.... Yes, I have decided. Draft a message to the leaders of this so called NATO. If they want us, they can have the consideration of the Dominion. If not, then really, I dont think such a rejection would affect us...."

TO: Damien Dreadfire and the nation of Automagfreek
FROM: Lord Sierus, the Dominion of Spencertopia
SUBJECT: NATO Alliance, Admission into

The more I consider this alliance, the more it appears to be somewhat appealing to myself and the Dominion. Please know that you have my full consideration, and if you want the membership of myself into this NATO organisation, then feel free to offer the Dominion full membership rights. Otherwise, we have no need for such an organisation.

Consider wisely, as this will be our only consideration.

OOC: Im not normally so arrogent, but that is what Lord Sierus is like anyway. Also, any refferance to 'Deathhooks', means basically a large palace, however its more of a castle like place. Deathhooks is the name of our leaders residence, and where the Dominion is governed from.

TO: The highly esteemed Lord Damien Dreadfire of Automagfreek
FR: President Byrnashty, The Dominion of Greenmanbry
SU: NATO Alliance


While our nation may be smaller than most, our solid reputation as advocates of peace and prosperity has made possible our joining of several alliances. Also, whenever peace was threatened, we were the first to carry our arms in an attempt to restore it.

Our presence in the Island of Rose's conflict, as well as the Acre Union and Ottoman/Soviet conflicts, was all in an attempt to restore peace and stability.

Thus, I have a conviction that the Dominion is not, and will never become a source of irritation, a "trouble maker" if you would, on the world stage.

Our military is very well-planned and adequate for a nation of our size.

The Dominion hereby expresses great interest in joining the New Alliance Treaty Organization, and we hope that by our joining, a new era of peace and prosperity will reign throughout the Dominion and throughout our Allies' lands.

I would hereby like to extend to you our most sincere regards, wishing that your excellencies would review our application and take it into careful consideration.

Best Regards,

President Ahmed Byrnashty
The Dominion of Greenmanbry

OOC: Depends, you've used Spencertopia in the past to OOC spy on Melkor, so.. *shrug*

OOC: Nah. Not Spencertopia. I used another nation, but that was ages ago, about six or so months so.... I have never used Spencertopia before this.

Edit: Guess I had more time than I thought.


The reporters milled about outside the House, many were restless, and many more were nervous... the President hardly ever gave press releases, much less in person... it had been almost a year since he had spoken to the people, but, this was nothing new; the president was a busy man, and had others to do his explaining for him. A few men started walking out of the main doors, 2 in full dress uniforms, then several soldiers in battle fatigues... soon more men and women filed out, the reporters knew who most of them were, the Head of Defense, the 3 Joint Chiefs, followed by the Heads of Education, Science, then the Vice President, and finally, the President himself…

“Ladies and Gentlemen, for as long as our nation has existed since the fall of the Old Rule, we have been isolationist, not bothering about the world around us, while we rebuilt, and recuperated from the long struggle. I believe that now is the time to step onto the world stage, to take part in these matters that surround us, and our allies. With the consent and advice of my cabinet, I have decided that the nation of Malre shall start playing with the big boys; beginning with an application to NATO. This shall be the first step for us, and soon the world shall envy us and all our allies… thank you very much, good night, and god bless.”


OOC: Yeah, I’m not that great of an RPer, but I hope this is written well enough. And thanks for any consideration to my nation.

OOC: Don't give me that, I clearly remember signing in as Spencertopia on *someones* forums when I was in Concordia.

perhaps he switched nations because of something which happened a few days ago... who knows

OOC: Doujin, can you keep the OOC crap off this thread and just telegram the guys in NATO if you can a real concern instead of dragging it out in their recruitment threads?

From the desk of the Prime Minister of Kotterdam

Greetings,
After much consideration and debate, the issue of whether or not to seek entry into the New Alliance Treaty Organization was placed before the House of Commons for a vote. The motion passed without incident, and as a result I am formally requesting admission on behalf of my people. We are an economically powerful, stable nation with a history of responsible foreign policy. It is our desire to join the nations of NATO in a new age of safety and prosperity.

Rt. Hon. Scott Haley

Chellis is wondering why it hasnt yet been accepted into the alliance. We have our share of things the international community doesnt like, but not that many people don't have similar things. We have been long time allies of AMF, it knows that. We havn't provoked a war on ourselves in hundreds of years, so its not likely it would be using this alliance to get more force. Having the strongest military in the world is plenty for us.

Axis Nova wishes to express it's cautious interest in this alliance. We may be interested in joining, depending on what the alliance's charter says.

While we have expressed what we determine to be reasonable caution about this alliance in the past, the motion to endorse the alliance regardless of admission was officially passed to-day with only twenty-nine dissenting votes out of five hundred and sixteen.

We also wish to be notified of our pending application's status once it changes.

Chellis, perhaps your application is still under review; it only said that if you are accepted you would receive a telegram; I would imagine that if you aren't accepted, you would be notified in some way as well...anyways, don't take my word for it, but that would be my guess...

To our Friends in AMF,
We in the Free Republic have watched with interest the reformation of the NATO alliance. I have also had a chance to read the charter of the reformed NATO and while the Free Republic agrees with most of the points therein and sees the benefit of a small directly elected governing body one question remains.

In former alliances the Free Republic was forced to choose between leaving the alliance or being forced to commint troops in an unjust conflict. We understand the need to be ready to defend allies but the Free republic wants to know what leeway would be given to members in supporting an ally?

Are NATO members REQUIRED to support an ally state that started a conflict or become embroiled in a conflict illegal in the eyes of another member?

I ask because the Constitution of the Free Republic forbids imperialism and colonialism. Would, theoretically, the Free Republic be forced to defend another member states colonial possessions, or support a war started in the name of imperialism?

For the record we did leave our former alliance in mid-conflict rather than support actions that were illegal in our Constitution and forbidden by law.

How did you get that he was a noob hater? AMF actually helps more newbs than most nations of his size. Maybe if you looked at some other posts on the thread, and looked at yours you may realize why he responded to negatively.

Geez, i got a negative response so i fired back.

Chellis accepts, the foreign minister being to tired to make a speech.

Well I think if you looked through the thread AMF has said several times he wants nations that are atleast older than July 2004. I think that is one of the entrance requirements. If you had read through the post instead of randomly posting you would have known that. But AMF is not a newbie-hater. Actually most aren't we only hate you and find you itritating when you do stupid things or act n00bish.(Not every newbie is a n00b. Its different. I think theirs a glossary somewhere were all these terms are stored. You can look in their for the definition). By automatically saying that AMF and others are newbie-haters just because he didn't allow you into an alliance that he said was for older nations just makes you look bad. If I were you I would spend time reading all the stickies you can find. New Nations Superthread, What You Can Post on International Incidents and others (although the links may not be working). If you call me a newbie-hater I don't care just trying to give you a heads-up for the first time your attacked or get yourself into one of many dangerous situations that occur on NS.

Empress Guro read the report thoroughly. Several nations had already been accepted into the New Alliance Treaty Organization, including some of those that are or have been hostile towards Doujin in the past. Gale could see the direction this alliance would quickly head towards, and therefor decided to take a pre-emptive measure to stay out of it.

Official Release
"Doujin has watched intently in regards to those nations that have been accepted into the New Alliance Treaty Organization. Seeing several nations, including some who are on very questionable terms not only on the world scale but in relations to Doujin, get accepted before Doujin has is disturbing. Doujin will save Automagfreek, Celack, and Sigma Octavus the trouble and declare that it is no longer interested in the NATO.

From The Office of the King's Defence Minister, Simon Taylor and the Kings Prime Minister, Jon Davis-Clarke

The Constitutional Monarchy of Jonothana would like to present its application for membership to NATO. We are a nation, slightly biased in impoving its military, but only to counter unjustified aggression. For instance, we are currently involved, with many alllies, in an operation to counter Maximillions aggression against Jenniver, its sole reason being imperialism. We would benifit greatly from such an alliance, we have enemies from peacekeeping, Maximmilion has been targeting us with cruise missliles and his allies may target us as an enemy. So, we ask that you grant us membership into this truly great alliance, from which we, and I hope, other members would benefit.

To: Damien Dreadfire, Supreme Warlord of Automagfreek
From: Central Command, Iuthia Prima, Iuthia
Subject: Our decision
Message:

Lord Dreadfire,

As previously stated we at the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps felt that it is important to keep our options open and review all material before making judgement. We are interested in opening relations with Automagfreek because of your interesting handle on diplomacy and our shared respect for national soveriegnity providing people don't harm our allies or get in our way.

This is, in part, why we were interested in your alliance, however we also wanted to get an indication of our popularity within Automagfreek as well as to see what the agreement requires from us.

Now that we have read all material and concidered our choices we would like to decline membership for NATO and instead persue individual relations with Automagfreek via a possible embassy exchange.

The NATO alliance would require us to bind ourselves down to many nations, some of which we are unfamiliar with and wouldn't be entirly comfortable with defending... group alliances were an old interest of Iuthia and now we have grown to understand that it is more productive to work towards good relations through one on one diplomacy with a more personal touch... that way Iuthia can control it's connections as we see fit to keep ourselves from being webbed into fighting our own allies.

Should you wish for a more indepth reason as to our actions we can telegram you with such a report, however we doubt you would be too interested in our reasons so we will leave it to you to ask for such additional information.

We are sorry, we just feel we cannot agree to these terms and it would be unfair for our nation to be a part of something we don't beleive in.

Good luck with your alliance, we are truely inspired by some of the requirements, perhaps some nations will calm down now they are a part of NATO.

Thanks,

Ambassidor Kayla Harmone, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

We express concern that IDF has been accepted into NATO, as relations have been...somewhat rocky with us in the past. However, we will not back out of the alliance on account of one nation, and we are sure that there are ways around the situation.

For now, we'll reserve judgement. We are still weighing our options and how this will affect our interest in NATO, should we be accepted into the esteemed alliance.

Malatose request admission into Nato.

Hiriam J. Northrop was relaxing on the beach. It had been a busy day, building sand castles and playing volleyball, so he easily sank into his favorite hammock. As a light tropical breeze blew over, he settled back, watching the waves wash ashore and sipping on his frutiy drink in a coconut.

Everything was peaceful.....

At least until a submarine burst up from the waves.

As its conning tower slid through the water, jet blue water glancing off its oily hull, the startled councilmember jerked up, spilling his drink (which was rum flavoured, by the way) onto his white shirt and bermuda shorts. This unfortunately caused the hammock to roll over, dumping one of the most important men in Samtonia onto the sand.

Before he could even think of yelling, let alone extricating himself from the tangle he found himself in, an officer from the sub was at his side.

"Sir! We've been looking all over Samtonia for you!"

Northrop groaned as he sat up, rubbing his head. "And didn't it occur to you that if I was hidden away so well perhaps I didn't want to be found?"

The officer shook his head. "Sir, you said you were only to be interrupted..."

"Only interrupted in case of war, major terrorist attack, wife finding out about mistress, or the news from that Dreadfire chap from AMF about Samtonia's status in NATO! So which is it? It's the wife, right? Luckily, there's no evidence of tha..."

"No sir. It's not your...errr....extramarital involvements. It's the status of Samtonia in NATO. We've been accepted sir."

Northrop groaned. "How long have we known?"

"A few days sir."

The rumpled man laying on the beach grinned sardonically up at the naval officer.
"I certainly hope that those in charge don't mind us replying a bit late then."

We're terribly sorry about the lateness of our reply. So we'll keep it short and to the point. We accept your gracious offer of joining NATO. May our relations be always at least partially cordial and our (mutual)enemies be dead!

OOC- Sorry I haven't replied for a while. Just able to get on now, due to job and all the other crud happening around me

Malatose request admission into Nato.


Due to your crimes against us in the past, we most definatly say NO to your application.


As for those concerned with IDF: there is no need to worry. Either IDF watches himself, or he's gone. Same goes for everyone.

We are interesting in knowing what we have done to you in the past..

We are interesting in knowing what we have done to you in the past..


OOC: Erm....you don't remember the AMF/RF standoff? You don't remember the AMF/RBA standoff? I seem to remember you against me both times, and I remember the threats that were made by you.

I don't forget an IC enemy.

Unless Chellis is misinformed, IDF is in the whittier pact still, and Chellis does not wish to be in an alliance with whittier pact members. We await being told, one way or another.

We must express our concern, along with the others, about IDF in the NATO Pact. As a nation, we do not trust IDF, along with the other Whittier Pact nations. Not too long ago, I expressed my disapproval of the way that the Whittier Pact was run. Whittier, The Macabees, and other W.P. nations then threatened my nation, militarily, just because of my disapproval of the Pact. I for one believe you are guilty by association.

As for those concerned with IDF: there is no need to worry. Either IDF watches himself, or he's gone. Same goes for everyone.

Basically if IDF does something shitty he's booted and his ass might get whupped.

Once the International Consortium Court is organized, they will meet and discuss this matter with IDF.

In the chambers of Deathhooks, a small man stood before the mighty Lord Sierus, shivering with absolute terror. Lord Sierus was standing on his feet, growing angry with the small man;

"What do you mean we have had no response from the Freeks on our membership in this NATO alliance?!", he yelled in anger.

"Well Lord," he stammered, "Mr. Dreadfire apparently is being tied down at the moment. Seems like he is still trying to talk with the other leaders..."

Laughing, Lord Sierus gathered himself together, "And the fools in Automagfreek pride themselves on being a dictatorship?"

"Sir, with due respect, I am doubtful Dreadfire has all the power in this NATO organisation..."

Sierus frowned, "Very well. I will wait for now. But if they cannot organise themselves, I am only going to get more impatient with this insolence..."

[Actually, some people cannot smell/taste cyanide at all. Each person seems to have their own perception of the smell. But they all are affected the same. ;)]

Kelanis also vociferously protests against IDF's admittance to this alliance. We view the Whittier Pact as nothing more than a large group of satellite states who do Whittier's bidding not by choice, but because they are effectively enslaved. We do not trust IDF.

However, if IDF can prove its trustworthiness to the rest of the alliance, we see no further conflicts.

We would also like to take this time to re-assert Kelanis's position on NATO. Our application still stands and we eagerly await the response of the founding nations.

Axis Nova

(Okay, I know it was late, but I sent the list. I had back-to-school kinks to work out lately.)

[Axis Nova, it has nothing to do with likes and dislikes, if that were the case I would indeed set those aside in the name of pragmatism. However, I have a hard IGNORE on IDF and I won't even think of touching it, if that means I can't be admitted into NATO, so be it.]

Having reviewed the charter, the Kramden of West Cedarbrook would like to join NATO. We view it as a positive development.

Except France left NATO for like 30 years because it didn't want to be seen as (another) US puppet. Your example would work if say the ukraine joined NATO, even if it was still a part of the Warsaw Pact at the same time.

Lord Sierus was pacing backward and forward deep in the chambers of Deathhooks, when a man walked fearfully into the room. Sierus paused, his dogs growling at the new presense in the room. The man stood distant, as he valued his life dearly;

"Sir, word from this NATO alliance. They have accepted several applications, ours was not one of them." reported the man, stammering.

Sierus scoffed, "Bah, I really do not understand those Freeks. They claim to be so called, 'hard-core', and yet they do not relly recognise their own opportunities. Fools if you ask me."

The man frowned, "Sir, do you want me to send some kind of message asking for a review of our application? It may be a case that they havent decided yet."

Laughing, Sierus boomed, "Well, do as you wish. But it becomes apparent to me that they do not realise that it is us which would make this alliance powerful. Remember, we may not be all that powerful on the world stage yet, but slowly we are growing in strength. Soon, we will dwarf such names as Automagfreek, and perhaps even.......Melkor...."

The man frowned again. He really thought Sierus had high hopes, but nevertheless, he was far to fearful to even think such thoughts, let alone voice them. Bowing to Sierus, he prepared a letter to Damien Dreadfire of Automagfreek.

From Desk of Lord Sierus, Dominion of Spencertopia
Subject: The Dominion's application to NATO

This message is a subject of relevance to our application to this NATO alliance. We have waited patiently for some time for news on our application, and it becomes apparent that you have released yet another group through, and yet, still no word on our application.

Therefore, we wish to withdraw our application to this NATO alliance. If you want the Dominion in your affairs, the onus will be on you to contact us about membership in NATO. Of course, your staff may be wondering why they should really care, but then, all shall be revealed in due time.

Next time it will be you, who waits for us to make a desision."

OOC: Keeping in note, that this basically says, "Hey, if you want me, contact me.", but I like to roleplay Sierus as generally being an arrogent prick. :)

Thank you.

It has come to our attention that you accepting applications for membership into the New Alliance Treaty Organization. It is with great respect to you, and your endeavors that we submit an application. We are a young nation, but we are also a responsible one. Take not the size of our borders into consideration, but the size of the commitment we will give. I would point you to look at the contribution we have already made in the world. We have joined the Brothers In Arms Anti-Terrorist organization and have pledged to fight the constant threat of terrorism. While we have not been involved in any large scale conflicts, we will not falter when the time comes to step forward.

It is with humbleness that we apply, for we would feel it a great honour to be counted amoung such great nations. We only wish to help this alliance in any way possible, and if we may best help by not gaining membership, we will oblige. Thank you for your time.

May I also make a note that DPUO will vouch for me.

Mark Burns

Yeah, I'd want to know why I didn't get accepted... I'm certainly large and experienced enough.

On his daily walk, President Edward Grove made the following statement when asked about possible membership in the NATO alliance;

"Although I am open to the joining of alliances, and although I have expressed interest in the NATO alliance specifically to executive ministers only, I am still examining the charters to see if it really would be beneficial for the Austar Union to be a member of such an organisation. The public must understand that at this time, we have our own goals and objectives, and to just join an alliance at this time could distract or hinder us from such objectives. For this time, we will not seek membership in NATO, however I do not rule out consideration in future..."

Hello, I'd like to join the NATO Alliance.

The government of the Federation of Morathania accepts your approval of my nations entry into NATO. We would like to say thank you to the congressional board for my approval and I would like to say thank you to all members who voted for my approval. Thank you once again.

WOODSTOCK (ASP) -- The House of Delegates voted today to ratify Sarzonia's membership in the New Alliance Treaty Organization by a vote of 773-54, thus making Sarzonia's entry into the alliance official.

"We applaud the decision by the Congressional Board to offer admission to Sarzonia and we gratefully accept the invitation to join," President Mike Sarzo said at a press conference with House Speaker Josh Williams. "Today begins a new chapter in the history of Sarzonia in international affairs."

The opposition, led by Delegate Trick Roberts argued that NATO was "a superpower's party house," and cited objections to some of the members of the alliance.

"We have problems with several members of the alliance and it is foolhardy to join an alliance with those countries," Roberts said during debate. However, he and the rest of the opposition faction did not have enough votes to initiate a filibuster.

"We have joined alliances in the past that have been less than perfect," Williams said. "We believe the objectives of this alliance outweigh the concerns."

The legislation needed a majority vote to pass the House of Delegates.

The Commonwealth is pleased that the members of NATO has found Granzi to be worthy of membership. We hereby accept, with an eye toward the future of this alliance. We pledge to fulfill the values and wishes of this pact, to the best of our ability.

Best Wishes,

Empress Guro walked around her greenhouse slowly, enjoying the beauty of the nature surounding her. Joseph Trimmer, her assistant secretary, ran up to her and gave her a report about the NATO. Gale looked over the report, her baby blue eyes shimmering with glee. She smiled, realizing she had indeed made a wise decision when she retracted Doujin's interest in the New Alliance Treaty Organization. She has been following the progress closely, and notice the alliance turn downwards. Membership in the alliance has grown considerably - full of rotten eggs. It was like she could smell the stench surounding her, even though she was surounded by some of the rarest flowers in the world. She had made the best decision when she renounced Doujin's interest in the NATO. Alliances are becoming a waste of time. Everyone joins pretty much every alliance, merely making everyone allied thirty times over. Nations sovereignty is at stake with all these alliances - it's about time the worlds leaders realized that their nation is to come first above all.

NATO Applicants' Status

Please realize that this is not an official list as I scanned the thread and compiled a (roughly) accurate lists of yays, nays, and maybe's. I also scanned the last two pages of this thread for new recruits.

Currently, NATO has not come to a decision on the following nations:


Weyr
Freethinkers
USSNA
Austar Union
Sirens of Titan
Lacomb
Vendi
Derion
Dumpsterdam
Draganovia
Huahin
Illior
Triancia
West Cedarbrook
Kernel Segfaults
Aust
Credonia


Nations that are not in this list: I either missed your name, or NATO has some sort of majority vote for or against you, but the status of the application is still pending.

The following nations from the list above have not had their applications processed yet (i.e, no votes whatsoever to date): Weyr, Dragonavia, Huahin, Illior, Triancia, West Cedarbrook , Kernel Segfaults, Aust, Credonia, for the simple reason that the overwhelming number of applicants has greatly hindered the ability to keep the polls up-to-date.

This latest and unofficial report has been brought to you for the sole purposes of leaving you hanging.

The Federal Republic of Bonstock requests a response regarding its application, though we are patient and willing to wait.

Has the Parthian application been decided upon?
