The Iterian League

Mr. Tai-Shun moved his microphone.

"We would be willing to compromise with the terms proposed by Mrs. Yasur."
 
“As would we. Feel free to move forward, Mrs. Yasur, our current concerns have been put to rest. We would like to motion for a vote seeing as no one else seems to have any qualms with the Iterian Code."

She spoke in a tired voice before taking another sip from her thermos of green tea.

Yasur's thumbs twitched nervously a bit. She'd been waiting for this day for a while now, and it was finally here. She took a sip of water, and sighed.

"Then the vote on the Iterian Code will begin."

Yasur grinned.
"With the Takashiman delegation abstaining? The four votes in favour of the Iterian Code are enough to ratify it for the League."

"With that? The current session of the Iterian League has concluded. Thank you all for your time, and your contributions to our collective security and prosperity. When we next meet? We will vote on a new Secretary-General and a new Speaker."

She banged her gavel to bring the session to a close.
 
Irad Yasur looked over the assembled delegation.

"Thank you all for meeting" she stated happily, sounding somewhat relieved.
"It is with a great sense of pride that I find myself at the end of my term as the League's Secretary-General. With the Iterian Code passed? This organization's noble view of the future is that much closer to reality. I feel confident knowing I leave the Iterian League in capable hands. That said? My term is nearing an end, and the Speaker's office remains empty. As such I would like to open the floor to nominations for both offices."
 
Mrs. Iokina took one last sip from her closed top thermos before leaning in to the microphone. If anyone had looked at the area of the Skandan delegation there were multiple shopping bags filled with souvenirs of Danzhou, including cheesy t-shirts such as the classic "I <3 Danstad" and others such as "I went to Danstad and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt!", among various other souvenirs.

"The Democratic People's Republic of Skanda would like to put forth my self as our candidate for Secretary-General. We thank the Iterian League for this gracious opportunity to lead Iteria, and even if we do not win this election, we would like to say good luck to all the other candidates that may step forward. Thank you for listening."

She pulled back from the microphone and began mumbling to the rest of the Skandan delegation. If anyone in the room happened to know Skandan and was nearby they may have overheard the conversation. It was in fact, not important to the Iterian League in the slightest. They were talking about going out to get food after this meeting was over. Truly an inspiring conversation.
 
"Thank you Ambassador Iokina. Skanda's commitment to this organization is well-noted and I have no doubts as to your abilities to lead it."

Yasur surveyed the room.
"Seeing as there are no other candidates? We'll be holding a single-candidate ballot. Should Ambassador Iokina not receive over 50% of the vote? We will have to reopen nominations."

Esteemed Nations of the Iterian League,


The Empire of Alnaria has for some time been observing the Iterian League, and is most impressed. The Empire's centuries of resisting foreign invasion and influence have left it wary of entangling alliances, however the scope an purpose of the League is admirable. The Primacy views the Iterian League as the best mechanism for strength, security, and prosperity for the nations our shared land. In the name of the Emperor, and the Primarch, I hereby request The Empire of Alnaria be entered into the Iterian League.

Arlan Mindaril
Vice-Primarch,
Foreign Affairs

Hana spoke for the first time on the podium of the Secretary General. It felt good, standing there. She took a sip of her green tea (in a closed container) before speaking.

"Hello, and good morning to the representatives of the Iterian League. Today we are here to speak of the admittance of the Empire of Alnaria into the Iterian League. Please, voice any concerns or comments now before we move onto voting."
 
Tai-shun cleared his throat before speaking.

"The Ascalonian delegation has no objections to Alnarian membership. Should nobody else comment, we motion for a vote."
 
Yasur listened as the Secretary-General introduced the debate on Alnaria's acceptance.

"The primary interest of the State of Iraelia concerns the infrastructure projects the League has begun to embark on since the passage of the Iterian Code. The State of Iraelia understands that the Code is voluntary but we are curious as to Alnaria's willingness to engage in our efforts to integrate the railway infrastructure of Southern Iteria. The Empire of Alnaria is, after all, quite large. Its ports and rail networks, if integrated in League infrastructure projects, could be a huge boon for our collective economic future."
 
Arlan Mindaril had come personally to Ascalon to represent his government before the Iterian League. As the Vice Primarch of Foreign Affairs, Arlan had spoken before delegates of dozens of nations, but he was particularly passionate about the issue at hand. He had pressed both the Primacy and the Emperor for years to reach out to the Iterian League, and he had finally gotten his wish. Nothing was going to stop him now. All he had been through to get here was in his mind as he listened to the delegate of Iraelia, and he was more than ready to issue his answer.

"Esteemed delegates of the Iterian League, for those of you have not had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Arlan Mindaril, and I speak for the Empire of Alnaria." He paused to give a curt nod to the assembled delegates before continuing. "In regards to the interests of the delegate of Iraelia; The Empire is very excited to enter into the infrastructure projects underway in the League. As Mr. Yasur has mentioned ports and railways, the expansion of these means of movement and transportation are among our main goals in support of the economic and cultural integration of South Iteria. The Primacy and the Emperor are particularly excited to integrate into the Leagues energy and science programs as well. It is our hope that together we will be stronger, happier, and more prosperous as a region. I will also be more than happy to answer any further questions on behalf of Alnaria, thank you."

Arlan took his seat, and what felt like his first breath since he started speaking. He was happy with his speech, and was now more resolute than ever to integrate the Empire with the rest of Iteria.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the Iterian League, we have a problem, and we have had this problem for some time. With the exclusion of Yukkira, while overall a net positive, it left a vacancy we have yet to fill. The Speaker of the Iterian Assembly. This is an important and as such I would like to open nominations for this role, nominations we will then vote on.”

She took a sip from her “I <3 Dazhou” thermos.

“There are other things I would like to discuss as well... While the city of Dazhou is certainly lovely there has been a lot of political instability here recently and perhaps it’s best we temporarily relocate to avoid potential dangers, so I would also like to open nominations for a new host nation. Lastly I would like to discuss sending invitations to the nations of Astragon, Tlaakatland, Rafhazan, Zhen, and Eriadni. It is a large expansion, yes, but a needed one I feel. Possibly we could even discuss establishing cordial relations with the Epiphanes who essentially control the vital strait between Iteria and Craviter. Discussions and nominations may begin now.”

Mr. Tai-Shun did not attend today's meeting. Instead, there was a tall and lanky representative from the Foreign Ministry called Shen Ming. He was here to do only one job.

"Mrs. Iokina, due to the current unfortunate situation in Ascalon, we are currently without a definitive governing faction in parliament. Without a governing faction in parliament, there is no unified foreign policy objectives. As such, until our parliamentary issues are resolved, we will be stepping back from decisions that cannot be made without the the guidance of our foreign policy goals."

He paused and looked around the chamber.

"We will be recusing ourself from voting sessions until further notice as we seek to resolve our current parliamentary issues."

He took his seat again.
 
Yasur spoke for the Iraelian delegation.
"The government of Iraelia will formally put forward Aviezer Yeshurun as a candidate for Speaker of the Iterian League. Mr. Yeshurun has lead a distinguished career bringing Iraelians and Kaandari from Hasban together as the third ever Minister of Internal Affairs following the annexation of the Hasban province. His service in the name of peace across ethnic lines makes him an ideal candidate for the Speaker's office of an organization such as the Iterian League."

"The Iraelian delegation would insist that any move from Dazhou exclude cities in either Skanda or Iraelia. It's the Iraelian government's position that moving the league HQ to either nation could be seen as either attempting to consolidate power within the League. It's the Iraelian delegation's opinion that the League HQ is best served in another member nation. We are hopeful that the situation in Dazhou is resolved soon, so that such a relocation- and the costs that would entail- is not needed."

"Finally, the government of Iraelia is fully supportive of inviting Astragon, Tlaakatland, Rafhazan, Zhen, and Eriadni into the League."

SPEAKER OF THE ITERIAN ASSEMBLY NOMINATIONS

Nation:
Iraelia

Nomination: <Aviezer Yeshurun>
 
Prince Sarakhaid of Domos leaned towards the mic, he did not like being away from his home and he liked the task he had been set even less. Astragon had left the league in 92' when the emperor's son had died in a car accident, Kaskaran had retreated from public life and his ministers had chosen isolation to further their own ends. Now with pressure from the Vizier of Estates, Sarakhaid would make a case for the Exalted Empires Re-admittance

'Esteemed Delegates of the League

On behalf of his Exalted Majesty Kaskaran III i come before you seeking to renew ties that have too long been left broken. We left the league in 1992 amid tragedy and isolationism, but the world is growing smaller and Astragon can no longer remain an outsider, we humbly petition the league to accept our membership application'

'hopefully that will satisfy Izrah' Sarakhaid thought as he leaned back.
 
Arlan stood to dress the delegates of the League.

"Esteemed colleagues of the Iterian League, the Empire is new to this body, and as such we do not feel comfortable electing one of our own to the office of speaker without first settling into membership. However, in the spirit of unity, and in consideration of remarks of Mr. Yasur I would like to formally submit the city of Ardurelos, the capital of Arlanath in Alnaria. Ardurelos is a storied city and natural harbor with a rich history of multiculturalism we feel would be most fitting for the Headquarters of the Iterian League; thank you."

“The Iterian League accepts the nominations of both Mr. Yeshurun and the City of Ardurelos. As to your proposition, Mrs. Yasur, while noble on paper I’m unsure we have the number of active members to allow for that, as it leaves only Alnaria and the isolationist Takashima, which, let’s be honest, only narrows down to a single choice. That being said Skanda will refrain from admitting any cities, but Iraelia is free to do so if they wish.”

“Moving on, we will still be accepting new nominations for both speakers and host cities, but as you all heard from Prince Sarakhaid, Astragon is looking for to be admitted again before we could even discuss them. Skanda has no qualms with their entry so long as they follow the outlines of the Iterian Code as every other state in this alliance has done or will do. Skanda would like to motion for a vote immediately, if no one has any objections. Astragon was once a member and we see no reason they should not be one again.”

Yasur spoke for the Iraelian delegation.
"The State of Iraelia has no objection to Astragon's re-admittance into this organization. We welcome them back with open arms."
 
After the formalities and discussions of possible new members had ended, Hana took to the podium again.

"I would now like to motion for a vote. As there are no other candidates for the host city or the Speaker, we will be forgoing votes for the host city or Speaker. If anyone has any objections to that, please let me know. The following votes will be on the re-admittance of Astragon, and the invitations of Eriadni, Rafhazan, Zhen, and Tlaakatland. Furthermore, I would also like to vote on updating our flag to a newer design, seen behind me on the projector screen. Once more, if anyone has any objections to going straight to voting, please let me know. As the delegation from Ascalon is temporarily unavailable we will be counting their votes as abstains."

With the rather quick vote over, Iokina spoke once more.

"With all three votes passing, firstly I would like to welcome back Astragon into the Iterian League. Secondly, we'll be sending out the invitations for the potential new nations as soon as possible. Finally, as we'll be moving to Ardurelos after this meeting is over, please make sure all of your paperwork is in order and you've gathered all of your delegation's belongings. We'll be hoisting the new flag in Ardurelos after his meeting. The Iterian League would like to thank Dazhou for hosting the League for all of these years. The League is here for Ascalon if it decides to reach out. Once more, thank you to the City of Dazhou and Ascalon as a whole."

And once she stepped down from the microphone, the meeting was over. The last thing done in the building would be sending out the aforementioned invites and cleaning out all of the Iterian League paperwork. The janitor, Tan Rong, took down the old flag and turned out the lights on the old chapter of the Iterian League.

((The invitation post will be sent out afterwards.))

Cardinele

In this day and age where the sorrow of war deteriorates as nations unite, Cardinele has found itself void of any close relations with other nations. And such, the Republic of Cardinele on the fringes of East Iteria is turning to joining The Iterian League as a full member with a good start, and hopefully, a lasting relationship with the nations and peoples that inhabit the continent just as Cardinele does. Thank you for your consideration.

Tkvarolauri, Cardinele - President Antog Sarafian

Mr. Tai-Shun returned to the IL by October. He had been absent, and so had Ascalon. A major shakeup had occurred, but it was time to get back to business again.

"Mrs. Iokina. I would like to inform this union that Ascalon is resuming its normal duties as a member. We are sorry about the events that caused the League to move to its new location. Should the League wish to reconsider relocating to Ascalon, I can ensure that the subversive elements responsible for what have happened were dealt with."

He took a sip of his coffee.

"Secondly. I would like to inform the League that we will be moving forward with a planned referendum involving the political future of Ascalon. We will inform you of any planned changes to our nationality. Thank you."

He sat down again.
