As Grand Arbiter of the Confederacy of the Far Echo Islands, I here by announce this meeting to negoaite terms of dolphin citizen ship and personhood with all members of the world. And to head off the potential war that could loom between the fine nations of the Far Echo Islands and British Londinium.

I will let another nation start with opening comments on what should be done.

OOC: Dude, no. There's already a war. At the very least, you could respond in the actual thread.

New Vantania supports these peace talks and as a token of good will we will donate five thousand exploding penguins to the CFEI. That is all.

Urcea will not attend.

Kirav will attend to defend the rights of dolphins.

However, we do not want to get involved in wars and embargos over this.

The Commonwealth recognizes the status of the Delphinidae and Platanistoidea families to be equal to that of the Homindae. This is not due to levels of intelligence, emotion, or compression. This is because we recognize all living species to be in harmony with one another.

We will support Far Echo Island in their own endeavor, and realize the immaturity of the international world for their reactions to this issue. However; Delphinidae will not be granted the right to citizenship in Falgoust, as the process of doing so would be far too complicated and inconvenient to both species.

If you would like to continue talks on this issue and acquire our assistance in your own country, we will be happy to send an ambassador to your capital at once.
