President Terminates Treaty of Caerdeas
Caer Sidi Commendation Bait and Switch Provokes Treaty Nullification
Written by Phoenix
(Europeia - August 26, 2023) Europeian President JayDee recently announced that he would ask the region’s Senate to ratify his proposed withdrawal from the Treaty of Caerdeas with Caer Sidi as a result of their recent alliance with the Brotherhood of Malice (BoM); a region hostile to Europeia and the ideology of Independence. The announcement was made following after the World Assembly finalized its commendation vote for Caer Sidi.
"Caer Sidi is a region with whom we share many fond memories, but their recent treaty with the Brotherhood of Malice has made our relationship unsustainable." JayDee states, opening his address.
Caer Sidi insisted that this treaty serves only a strictly roleplay purpose, however the JayDee administration was alarmed by the fact that the treaty in question was concealed to Europeia as a strategic play to ensure the passage of their Commendation. Such a decision raised doubts within the administration as to the extent BoM's influence had already permeated the region.
"Almost every region that has developed ties with BoM has become antagonistic to Europeia and their interests." The President goes on, citing previous regions which had formed open relations with the Brotherhood of Malice (BoM) becoming hostile to Europeia. "For these reasons, we have seen the repeal of our treaties with The Communist Bloc, Kantrias, and the United Kingdom for the development of closer ties with BoM."
Discussions with Caer Sidi left the administration unsatisfied, stating "unfortunately it became clear that there was no middle ground that could satisfy both parties. We made our policy on BoM clear and Caer Sidi made it clear they would prioritize their new alliance with BoM over our existing treaty of friendship."
This left the administration with no choice but to close official ties Caer Sidi. The decision follows a standing policy in the Europeian administration to terminate relations with regions that openly associate with BoM. Caer Sidi entered into talks aware that their treaty with BoM could result in the termination of relations with Europeia, electing to "prioritize their new alliance with BoM over our existing treaty of friendship."
President JayDee ends his statement with a hopeful message for future relations with Caer Sidi, but that "the Caer Sidi of today has drifted too far from the one we knew."
The President will present his resolution to repeal the Treaty of Caerdeas to the Senate shortly.
Caer Sidi is a region with whom we share many fond memories, but their recent treaty with the Brotherhood of Malice has made our relationship unsustainable. It has been our policy for over a year now not to maintain relations with regions which establish official ties with BoM, they are not only antagonistic to Europeian interests, but have demonstrated a clear disregard for regional sovereignty. Almost every region that has developed ties with BoM has become antagonistic to Europeia and their interests. For these reasons, we have seen the repeal of our treaties with The Communist Bloc, Kantrias, and the United Kingdom for the development of closer ties with BoM.
These trends give us substantial cause for concern for the future of Caer Sidi and what it means for us. Caer Sidi insists that their relationship with BoM is strictly for roleplay purposes and they would have no participation in GP conduct. However, we were alarmed by the realization that upon BoM coaching, they concealed this emerging alliance from us to help with passage of their recent commendation. It seems BoM gameplay machinations may have already permeated their region.
Despite this, my administration made efforts to maintain ties with Caer Sidi and demonstrate our commitment to our relationship. Caer Sidi made similar efforts, but unfortunately it became clear that there was no middle ground that could satisfy both parties. We made our policy on BoM clear and Caer Sidi made it clear they would prioritize their new alliance with BoM over our existing treaty of friendship. For these reasons, I am left with effectively no choice but to submit my proposal to the Senate to repeal the Treaty of Caerdeas and close official ties with Caer Sidi.
I sincerely hope this is not the end of our story with Caer Sidi. Caer Sidi has a strong cultural framework and we still share many former citizens with a love for both regions. However, the Caer Sidi of today has drifted too far from the one we knew. We both have changed, and that change has unfortunately brought us further apart. One day we may find ourselves on similar grounds as we have with other regions before, but we must maintain our principles as we always have.
