Did you read the whole charter? If you have no comment why post at all? I think you might have benefited very much from joining.

From The Desk of General Gandly:

Greetings,
I am General Gandly of Talentay. As requested by the dictator I am requesting permission to join your new organization.

Greetings,
I am David Aposon, President of Uiri. After conferring with Prime Minister Luk Monikison we have both decided to allow you to become a Freely Associating State. Congradulations,

Signed,
David Aposon
President of Uiri

Co-Signed,
Luk Monikison,
Prime Minister of Uiri

The Kiravian Empire fully supports its Commonwealth State in the foundation of it's own commonwealth. We formally request observer status in OSAFU, and wish our ally well on their quest for their own international community.

We welcome Kirav to observer status, however we wish to correct Kirav in a tiny error:

A commonwealth is for the common welfare of all the members.

A Freely Associating State is in a special relationship with the State it is associating with. Unlike in a Commonwealth, the only relation between members is through relation with Uiri.

A small mistake and not very crucial, just a little clarification.

While The Promethian Republic of Faxanavia shall not be taking part in the Organization of States Associating Freely with Uiri, we support it whole heartedly, and wish to request observer status. Furthermore, we give our commendations to the Uir for their commendable actions in the formation of this fine organization.

Respectfully yours,
Ivansky Bochick
Prime Minister of The Promethian Republic of Faxanavia and her associated territories

We apologise to you, Ivanski Bochick, but observer status is a special grant, given only to close allies of ours, such as Kirav.

Sincerely,
David Aposon
President of Uiri

We apologise to you, Ivanski Bochick, but observer status is a special grant, given only to close allies of ours, such as Kirav.

We respect the feelings of the Uiri administration, and wish to maintain our support of this organization. We hope that a discussion of alliance may be considered at a future time.

Respectfully yours,

P.S.
Its spelled Ivansky. With a y. Not that I'm bitter...

OOC: Oh. Sorry. I suggest you either start another thread for negotiations of some sort or we drop the messages.

IC:

Yes, I suppose an alliance should be negotiated, however, with the Gourmondinia Civil War ongoing, either you would have to switch sides or we would have to wait until conclusion of the police conflict.

Sincerely,
David Aposon,
President of Uiri

We thank the Uir for granting us observer status.

A collective of freely associated states was more of what our own Commonwealth was intended to be, though we are nonetheless pleased with the democratic self-government that it is developing.

This is stupid and people who want to do this are crazy. The only person who is benifiting from this is you!!!!

Actually, no not really. Let me list the benefits of Freely Associating States:

-I shall assist you in any war unless you have declared war on another member. Then I must take the side of the other member.
-I shall repair your nation after any natural disaster
-I shall allow any of your citizens to visit any of my lands for up to 90 days without a visa. This is a good deal, especially for Uiri.
-I shall return any citizen using the above benefits to excape your government
-I shall allow you to move your troops and whatnot through Uiri in any war I am helping you with.

See? Those are plenty benefits. Let's see, what do I get? Keep in mind I'm a nation of approximately 2.35 billion:

-Uir business must be allowed to operate in your nation
-You shall allow any of my citizens to visit any of your lands for up to 60 days without a visa. Notice that your citizens get 30 more days than mine in eachother's lands?
-You shall return any of my citizens using the above benefits to escape my government. Probably only used for escaping criminals whoich you probably wouldn't want anyways.
-You shall give me military support BUT I must REQUEST it.
-You shall except military installations WHICH I won't attack you with.

I'd say that's a pretty fair deal, don't you think? I get everything you get from me only I get less of it except for the business thing and the natural disaster thing. Now who is the only one benefiting?

hey look!

We accept Dacara into our ranks and recommend others do the same. We hope that any team(s) we have on standby for natural disasters in your nation will never have to be used and that Uir Congolomerates bring a new meaning to the word 'mall' in your nation.

Message from the Chancellor of the Democratic States of Caronis

To OSAFU,
The Democratic States of Caronis wishes to join this organization. We believe it will benefit all parties involved, and begin a political friendship that will bring our two nations closer together. Therefore, we ask for membership in this noble organization.

With warm regards,

Alexander Archidis,
Chancellor of the Democratic States of Caronis

We accept Caronis into the ranks of the OSAFU on probation becasue we in Uiri operate a capitalist economy and Uir private business shall be allowed to go into Caronis. If Caronis is a communist state we cannot accept Caronis.

I can assure you that Caronis is not a communist state. We have a capitalist, free-market economy, and Uir private business is more than welcome. I also thank you for permitting my nation to join.

With warm regards,

Baron Henry Sygmir thanks you for offering support in the conflict ahead, and wishes to repay you by joining your organization, and establishing free trade between our nations. Lord Militant Anders Tiran has expressed interest in your plans to construct military holding in Sygmir, and wishes to discuss placement and construction as soon as possible.

Andret Welks, Minister of External Affairs.

Cosigned, Lord Militant Anders Tiran.

OOC: You are accepted and seeing as how I assisted you prior to this war, assuming you were already a Freely Assosciating State only more/less it was a bilateral treaty meaning that you were part of the OSAFU before it was created if you know what I mean, wouldn't it make sense for me to already posses military installations?

((If you say so... that sentence was...wrong, somehow.))

Encryption Level 0, Null Encryption
To: [OPEN COMMUNIQUÉ]
Subject: General Statement

Stoklomolvi denounces the "Organisation of States Freely Associating with Uiri" as a thinly veiled attempt by Uiri to create itself an empire in which only it benefits. Notice that only Uiri and its relations with the states "freely associating" with it are given benefits, while the "freely associating states" can declare war on each other at will without any real repercussion. In addition, notice that Uiri can build military installations in its satellite states, yet its satellites cannot establish military installations in Uiri; in a true alliance, all states would have military installations in all other allied states. Here, only Uiri benefits militarily; its satellites are forced to send aid to Uiri should it request it, regardless of conflict, while Uiri only needs to aid in a defensive conflict, as there is no obligation for Uir aid to its satellites.

In addition to all of the military statements above, no mention at all is made about economics or any form of economic aid in which the nations involved in "OSAFU" help in building the strength of one another. Rather, this "association" does not care at all about the states involved; it only concerns Uiri. This biased organisation brings no real benefit to the states involved.

Should Uiri become strong enough, it may even utilise the military installations constructed within the satellite states to conquer them and even annex them completely. Seeing as to how the satellite states cannot build military installations, they become the windfall for the Uir.

Stand up to the "Uirians", states of the world, and oppose this organisation.

From the Office of the Chairman




To: OSAFU

From: Zaic Armashiran

Although most private businesses are banned in Boico, and the ones that do operate must give 60% of their profits to the government, we are willing to make an exception for Uiri businesses. The People's Cyonist Republic of Boico would very much like to join OSAFU as it would be a step in strengthening not just our nation, but others as well. However, to protect our people from the curruption of some nations, our citizens are forbidden from visiting certain nations. We would ask that you stop any of our citizens from leaving to these nations, if they attempt to leave from your nation. If you agree to this, we will send a list of the Banned Nations, and we will keep you updated if any other nations are added to the list.

Signed

Zaic Armashiran,
Chairman of The PCRB

OOC: Boico is not communist, it's Cyonist. It's like a currupt, extreemly authoritarian state which pretends it is acting for and with the will of the people.

TO: Boico

Your application is accepted. Boicans shall only be allowed to go from Uiri to any other country just to be on the safest side. Shall you allow Uir citizens to go to any country from your country? Chances are you do not have provisions to go to banned countries but if, say, Belu, Geren & Oranej Érowés has a stop over in Boico on the way to a banned country, Uir citizens would be allowed to do so, correct? We just want to ensure that you do not restrict the freedoms of our citizens and we do not impede your laws.

Will the Uir government allow our businesses in Uiri? Finally, why are we disallowed to establish military bases in Uiri?

TO: The Far Echo Islands

You do not give up any rights by joining OSAFU. You remain entirely sovereign, free to do as you please except for having to except Uir citizens without a visa for up to 60 days, having to accept Uir military installations and having to accept Uir business in your country.

What do you mean by 'keep our business in other member states'? You have no obligations - unless set out by another document - towards other Freely Assosciating States should you choose to join.

You may join any alliance/organization you like even if you join OSAFU. You do not have to give us aid unless we ask for it. This is very crucial as Uiri has allies up in high places so if we did choose to ask aid from you, our very existence as a sovereign state would be at stake. Plus, there are other freely assosciating states and I would call on the one most likely to be able to give me aid should I call on a FAS.

The business thing is a trade off with the natural disaster relief. Uiri has a very strong, stable economy and five larg corporations de facto own everything. In order to expand their profits they seek other markets. What better market than a state on good terms with Uiri?

Plus, that way, in a disaster, it will be quicker to provide aid. As for not being able to establish military bases in Uiri, that is due to the lack of anticipated need for me to call you to my aid. Uiri, on the other hand, must give you aid in times of conflict.

I hope I cleared up all of the concerns you had, and don't forget, Uiri has wonderful resorts in the Antilles which are great tourist destinations.

I have worked in the government of Miroxia for the last ten years, and if there was one thing I noticed, it was the strong alliance between six major Pacific Island members: Miroxia, Miamoria, Solenial, Riopo, Zhonghua Renguo and Uiri. As the new High Councilor of Miroxia, it is my duty to keep these alliances strong and to even improve them. So, I would like to have Miroxia enter the OSAFU.

Thank you,

While I personally was not in office as President or even Prime Minister at the time (both posts were held by the same person at the time if you didn't catch the joke) but I was a Senator at the time and I do remember Edward's comments on the stuffs. I always thought that Riopo's leadership was similiar to that of a teenage boy from the isle of man although that was my personal opinion. So I never considered Riopo to be anything more than some nation who would eventually be conquered by us. Alas, the Declaration of War bill was never brought to the Senate by the late Mr. Forgul.

Anyhow, I do remember Ed telling me about your sick goats and how it really sounded aweful and that even he, a Blue Party member, knew that something had to be done. I also remember the eventual unification of the five island states that were us. Zhonghua Renguo is no longer with us, however, the rest of us remain geographically close.

It is at the end of this reminiscing of events which happened over a year ago that I edmit your fine and noble nation to OSAFU. Remember the Seatrian Canal through Miamoria is the quickest way between our nations via sea.
