The Democratic League of Organised States [Proposal, Interest]

::: An Open Letter to the International Community :::

Greetings.

My name is Daniel Saros. I am a member of the Foreign Affairs Subcouncil of the Republic of Steel and Fire; and today, stamped with the blessing of the Triumvirate and President of the Republic, I bring a proposal before the international community.

My proposal is that like-minded nations set aside political and religious differences and open a trading sphere via which to further mutual interests; rather than being organised as a formal alliance with a charter and regional government, this sphere will simply consist of a loosely organised group of states that come to decisions democratically—either as a whole or in small groups. This sphere, which I have dubbed the Democratic League of Organised States (or Delos for short) unless someone can think of a better name, would establish a strong global trade network, stimulate economic growth in memberstates, and improve relations between nations of differing political, religious, economic, and social viewpoints.

I come before the international community today to ask whether anyone would be interested in such a league. Suggestions and advice would be welcomed; more so, those who wish to join this bloc. Delos as I envision it is barred only to those governments who have funded maritime piracy or otherwise impeded freedom of the seas; and due to its pursuit of mutual goals, its members cannot be openly hostile to one another, as that could tear apart the alliance. However, any further conditions or provisions are still up for debate.

Once again, any interested parties, please write back.

OOC: My nation is in the midst of a civil war, but I'm planning on RPing my actions as if it were over from now on. Hence the more moderate attitude.

OFFICIAL IMPERIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

The Imperium, being based upon an island continent, has always placed a high priority on the natural freedom of the seas. Our fleets patrol our own waters for defense, but beyond that armed convoys are rare, and only used to ensure the security of Kregaian trade.

His Divine Majesty, the Sacred Emperor, believes Delos sounds like an ideal way to guarantee the future security of the open oceans, and requests to join. Although the Sacred Emperor does not believe this should be a formal alliance, he proposes that we observe a defined code describing exactly how we should protect and trade over the seas. For example, while ACTO does not have a charter, its members know their goal quite well. However, the Imperium accepts Delos as it now stands, and meets the qualifications for joining, having never sponsored piracy.

His Divine Majesty would be pleased to meet with you personally to determine the nature and language of such a document.

Signed,
Minister of Foreign Affairs Avarros Isthan
