Diplomatic Message from Supreme Minister David Du'Font to Nuevo Italia

Despite our presence within the Mediterranica Region we feel that too many of the MU's policies go against our own national identity, we will thus not be joining in this union but we will recognise its authority and existence and we hope that it will not contend to sovreign Toopoxican territory in Mediterranica.

Signed,
Supreme Minister David Du'Font.

Official Imperial Transmission

To: Antonio Gordivici, Roma Foreign Ministry
From: The High Council of Arrandin

Unfortunately, after reviewing the constitution of the Mediterranican Union, the Imperial Government has determined that a large majority of this charter is in blatant contradiction to the principles and constitution of the Infinite Empire of Yallak. Therefore, I cannot fully accept this invitation.

However, the Empire is open to trade with our neighbours in Mediterranica and as such will be willing to join the Union as a partial member adhering ONLY to Economic Branch, Article III.

Signed
Lord Balor, Emperor of Yallak

FROM: Roma Foreign Ministry

We are very excited about your nation's choice to adhere to the third branch, but we hope you consider joining at least the military branch in addition. Our nations share a very long border, and the support of one's neighbors often determines the outcome of a war. We hope you reconsider, but are still excited.

The union would render some of our traditions illegal; therefore, we agree to trade with and defend our regional partners but must decline a full membership.

ooc: btw Nuevo Italia, i suggest to write at first post to partial members which branches/articles each of them has joined so it would be easier to see with whom there is only free trade and with whom there is mutual defence agreement.

the Kingdom of Aschenhyrst wishes to support the adoption of the "Mediterranican Credit" as the official currency of the MU. Sir Elihu De Armitage, Kingdom of Aschenhyrst-Foreign Minister

the Kingdom of Aschenhyrst wishes to inquire about Article II-Mutual Defense Agreement of the MU Charter. Does this article pertaining to mutual defense mention anything of standardization of small arms and/or calibers of small arms. This nation and Gataway, through the LARC Alliance, are bound by charter to have similar caliber weapons. If this area is not covered by article, the Kingdom of Aschenhyrst proposes that the MU Military Branch have trials to adopt a weapons standard. Our arguement in favor of standardization is: In times of war or other civil disturbance and MU members are needed/required to act, standardization of weapons/ammuniton will ease any logistical problems that would arise trying to keep the armed forces of the MU supplied. Weapons from the Kingdom could use ammunition from Nuevo Italia, parts from Gataway could be used on jets from Luchamos. Standardization not only would keep our militaries going in the event of war, but would also help the economies of member nations. We are in full understanding that one`s military is a source of national pride and do not seek to force this issue if the MU membership is greatly opposed to this proposal. We welcome any discussion on this proposal and seek a second on it before bringing the motion to the MU High Council for a vote. Submitted Respectfully, Elihu De Armitage-Foreign Minister, Kingdom of Aschenhyrst
