ooc: there HAS to be other unaligned nations out there!

Look at the Membership Post in the League of Nations Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=453071) - you'll see that most of them are NPCs. You could probably get China on board, though.

ooc: freaking reactionarys...

OOC: Try Greece, he is kinda facist so he doesn't fall into the Pact or the LTA really.

Im gonna ask GB if he can RP some NPC's joining becasue I KNOW that if theyd join the LTA then some had to join the UUN and also the Pact...

OOC: I feel loved. Here I am, arguably THE most powerful neutral nation(not pact, LTA or LoN) And i didn't even rate an invite :-p


Actually I was going to start something like this just to irritate others. But then i got busy, and handed over my nation to someone else then got it back. So yeah I'd be interested in joining.


I want to see an actual charter first.

ooc: crap...

chatzy?

ooc: chatzy...I know what the alliance is about but I ant find the RL treaty and charter...meh...

Im gonna ask GB if he can RP some NPC's joining becasue I KNOW that if theyd join the LTA then some had to join the UUN and also the Pact...

present what you are wanting in the UUN, and what advantages they would gain in doing so. Otherwise, they will be relecutant to join.

The Former Grand Duchy of Luxembourg always professed it's nuetrality and although actions during the Second Great War may have slightly altered that factor we still wish to join this Union.

Isn't Burgundy (and therefore Luxembourg) in the London Treaty Alliance and hence not permitted into the UUN?

I could be mistaken though.

(OOC: we're in the LTA?)

I thought so, but as I say I could (and probably am) wrong. I think I remember something about it after the last war as a result of the pact marching through your territory and you and Belgium needing a powerful ally to protect you, though as I say I could be wrong on that.

(OOC: we're in the LTA?)

you can always withdraw.

Well, as a semi-alligned nation, I'd love to join... Hell I can even work on a charter in my free time, if you'll make me secretary.

hmm, well France is joining the Warsaw Pact, which is going to present problems with getting Europeans to join. Argentina (which is now an NPC) is also currently reconsidering its stance on the UUN. Japan will have to act (as its has a player). So for now its kind of in flux. If France had stayed with this, it is probable you might have been able get more European states involved, including the Dutch. Now though, I am not sure how things are looking for the entire idea.

On the plus side for Spain, Morocco is interested in a trade agreement and a treaty of reconcillation. Uruguay and Peru are somewhat interested, but they are taking a wait and see attitude.

ooc: thanks. also what year and month is it? im kinda lost as far as time goes. Oh and what do you think of a peaceful dissolution of the Spanish monarchy and an election for president and new costitution?

works for me, although a constitutional monarchy is not incompatible with a socialist welfare state (look at modern Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands). It is 1934, and now the French are not joining the Pact, so you can try again with the UUN.

Ok. Now that France has not joined the Pact can we see if some other nations will join?

Ok. Now that France has not joined the Pact can we see if some other nations will join?

lets see what happens with the Japanese... they were a big influence in it originally.

Japan will still be involved in the UUN, and will sign the charter, but most of its attention is towards China and the Union, waiting to see what happens over there.

Over there, over there.....ahem, sorry, we had to listen to that stupid song in history class.
