Heft

TNPer
The Lion Star Military Cooperation Pact

Asserting the common beliefs of the peoples of the RLA and The North Pacific that all regions should be free from malevolent outside forces, this treaty establishes an agreement between the signatories.

1. In the event of an attack by outside forces, each side will consider itself obligated to act in defence of or in liberation of the regions that are party to this treaty. Each side must of course follow the legislative procedures set down by their laws prior to military interventions against any force which is not a raider/invader organisation. This shall include only the member-regions of the RLA and The North Pacific.

2. The Regional Assembly of The North Pacific, the Security Council of the North Pacific and the Cabinet of the North Pacific shall be considered by the RLA to have such authority as to order an intervention in TNP territory in the event of an attack on The North Pacific regardless of whether those forces claim nativity.

3. Interventions in RLA regions are implicitly authorised upon any defender or defender organisation spotting an attack by raiders / invaders.

4. The Red Liberty Alliance and The North Pacific fully condemn the actions of raiders / invaders regardless of what name or banner they go under and each signatory promises to consider helping the other in liberations and defences that occur at update each morning. Neither will be under any obligation to do so.

5. To that end, the RLA and TNP agree to keep each other appraised of changes in the officers of their respective military forces in that such changes are relevent to cooperation.

6. Both the RLA and TNP military heirarchies agree to make a good faith effort to share intelligence that is relevent to ther other party.

7. Ninety days from the date of the last signature appended to this treaty, the RLA and The North Pacific agree to send representatives to a mutually agreed upon spot wherein the status of the military cooperation pact shall be reviewed. Changes, reductions or expansions of the pact may be discussed at this meeting.

editorial note: approved by referendum of the registered voters of The North Pacific, 14 - 23 October 2005

By my math, today is January 23rd, and 92 days after this was approved.
 
Oh, thanks, thanks very much. :mad:

Shall I move the ministry a little to the left while I'm at it? :P

When I find the time I shall be writing new legislation banning Heft from setting foot in the Ministry's forums...
 
:pinch:

My suggestion to the wonderful Nam: Wait until the next term. Besides, it'll be interesting to see if anyone from the RLA notices (outside of those that read this forum, anyway).
 
There is a recordkeeping issue here.

While the referendum on that treaty ended on the 23rd of October, the treaty itself makes reference to the date of the last signature, and there's no record of that date, is there?

In fact that quoted text fails to show the date of the signatures for either party to the treaty.
 
True.

Ok, poking around the RLA and TPC forums some. I've found a copy of The Communist Manifesto, and an article called "The Abolition of Work". That sounds fun. Wow, I really should read some of these. "Ten Recurring Economic Fallacies: 1774-2004".

Alright....getting frustrated. Whatever, can't find it (probably hidden, and I don't know the layout of those forums too well).

I believe, however, that it was ratified by the RLA on October 28th. Maybe the 27th. So that gives you a few more days. Still, though.
 
Oct 25 2005 was the date in which this proposal passed. The RV's would be the last party to sign. The vote was extended 2 days to allow for the RV's to vote as this proposal was in the RA first, but later moved.

U can find that proposal here (click me).
 
Tresville, it was the 23rd. If you read the editorial note I inserted at the time at the end of the quoted treaty in italics, the dates given for the referendum covers 9 days (14th-23rd) rather than 7.

Voting shall begin 12 AM ET on 14 October 2005 and end at 12 AM ET on 23 October 2005.

Note: This Vote has been moved to the Voting Forum so that the RV's can vote on it. The end date was extended 2 days to make up for the time that non RA but RV members were unable to vote.

The last 2 votes came after the vote ended.

Yes 12
No 10

Aye's have it.

(Not being able to remember much before December, I'm guessing alot of this).

OK, my assumption was that the 90 day clause was intended as a way for us the count the benefit/disadvantage of this treaty, and reconsider. Therefore, when it was originally proposed, I'm guessing it was intended to be put to the RA for discussion when the 90 days was up.

Then I assume between the MoEA and the MoD and what changes the RLA may want, we'd have to patch together a treaty suitable for all.

Which would then have to before the RA for a vote.

Which could then be signed.

And I know it sounds as if I'm trying to get out of sorting this out, mainly because I am, but it seems pointless to start up any kind of dialogue with the RLA before, 1) we know what we want; 2) the elections have been sorted, as the incoming cabinet may have a different view on what to do.

So I'm happy for a discussion to be started in the RA, and I'll even contact the RLA to tell them treaties up discussion. But I can't see much point in doing anymore than that, when their might be a reverse course on foreign policy come Feb 8th.

Sound good to all?
 
Direct democracy and diplomacy do not good bedfellows make...

Anyway, two points. Firstly, the article refers to sending "representatives" and more importantly from my understanding of it, the Lion-Star Pact would be a mutual defence treaty which doesn't need RA approval only a Cabinet vote.

Sounds good to me! :) Good job, Nam...I don't envy your busy-ness right now. :worship:
 
Argh! HC's just going arround pointing out all my faults now...

The cabinet decided that it was better to be left to the incoming govenment.

Sorry.
 
No problem, with the timing it probably makes sense. I was just making sure that I didn't cover something that hadn't already been covered that was all. :P
