[CAP] Greetings from Caputia

HER MAJESTY'S FOREIGN OFFICE
Zalae, Caputia

To:
Foreign Minister,
Kingdom of Craitland

Your Excellency, Greetings:

This message is to formally introduce myself - I am George Blakeslee, recently appointed to serve Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I of Caputia as Foreign Minister and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to the Micran Nations.

I am pleased to announce that, with the approval of Her Majesty, the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia would like to reopen the lapsed diplomatic relationship between Craitland and Hamland, of which Caputia is now its official successor state.

Her Majesty's hope is for sincere friendship and cooperation in all topics of mutual interest. An exchange of ambassadors will be the natural next step in the diplomatic process. I shall be presenting my formal letters of credence very soon, as I will serve in the meantime as the Caputian ambassador to Craitland until the diplomatic corps can settle into their jobs.

Respectfully,

George Blakeslee
Caputian Foreign Minister

Greetings, Mr Blakeslee,

It is a pleasure to receive correspondence from Caputia following such a harrowing time in the Hammish people's history, and I am extremely glad for the desire to reaffirm the diplomatic ties that our two nations previously shared under another guise. I look forward to working with you in this regard shortly.

Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to ask and I will be happy to assist to the best of my abilities.

Yours,

Your Majesty,

It is with pleasure that I present the following Treaty draft for Your Majesty's highest consideration:
Treaty Between The Kingdom of the Union of Caputia and the Kingdom of Craitland.


DESIRING to formalize a genuine friendship based on the principles of mutual respect and cooperation, the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia, represented by Foreign Minister and Plenipotentiary Ambassador George Blakeslee, and the Kingdom of Craitland, represented by King Craitman Pellegrino, gather together to affirm the following as a Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Recognition between themselves: -


ARTICLE 1

There shall be a Perpetual State of mutual recognition and friendship between the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia and the Kingdom of Craitland, recognizing that the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia is the official successor state of the late Commonwealth of Hamland. The two aforementioned nations shall be committed to a peaceful resolution of any and all issues that may occur to estrange and otherwise alienate them one from the other and commit to identifying and cooperating on issues of mutual interest, including those presented through intermicronational organizations of which both are members, with the goal of creating a closer bilateral relationship.

ARTICLE 2

Neither nation, nor any officers, individuals or other agents acting under the authority of any government, organization or individual of or within either nation, shall commit any form of hostile, aggressive, subversive or destabilizing act against the other, nor against any individuals, organizations or property under either nation's sovereign jurisdiction or control, including damage or disruption to any goods, products or services that may be provided by third parties. Both Nations shall refrain from any aggressive, belligerent, or hostile act or policy, either overtly or covertly, directed against the other.

ARTICLE 3

The nation of Craitland shall respect the neutrality of the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia. Therefore, if any disagreements occur between the nation of Craitland and other nations, it shall be clearly understood that the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia being neutral shall take no official side in such matters and will refrain from any action in the dispute, except for mediation between both sides upon request, provided that all parties involved in such a dispute agree to such a mediation, and provided that either nation has followed its own procedures by which the decision to make such an offer is lawfully made.

ARTICLE 4

The signatory parties shall respect the diplomatic envoys of each other, their diplomatic correspondence and their offices, as well as all other government structures of each other.

ARTICLE 5

The signatory Nations shall recognize any titles and other honors granted by their respective Leaders to their citizens and to other persons, and vice versa.

ARTICLE 6

The signatory Nations may appoint an ambassador or envoy to the other in order to foster good relations. The host nation shall reserve the right to expel an ambassador or envoy found to have committed any activities that are in contravention of either any part of this Treaty or its own laws.

ARTICLE 7

This Treaty may only be amended, revised, enlarged and expanded upon the concurrence of both signatory Nations. Any contrary action or measure shall be null and void.

ARTICLE 8

This Treaty shall enter into force upon ratification by both signatory Nations' governments by whatever constitutional method is used in said nations.

ARTICLE 9

Either party may withdraw from this Treaty provided that seven days' written notice (defined as a post on the forums of both nations by the withdrawing nation's head of state, ratified by whatever legislative procedures are necessary) is given.

Thank you, Mr Blakeslee, for your time and effort in composing this treaty. I fail to find fault in any of the clauses and would be happy to attach my signature in its current form should there be no pending amendments.

Your Majesty,

Perhaps it would be wise to add a clause to facilitate the movement of goods, services and people from New Vaduz to the rest of Caputia. If this should be left to a separate agreement, we can pursue that as well.

Thank you,

I wholeheartedly agree. Given New Vaduz's unique situation of being surrounded on all sides by Caputian sovereignty, it would be foolish to not exploit this position for heightening our coöperation. Therefore, I would like to propose the following text for an article I believe would be most fitting to be placed between the current numbers 6 and 7:
The shared border between Craitland and Caputia, namely that of the Craitish enclave territory of New Vaduz, shall be considered open for traverse by all people, goods and services, other than those regulated differently by each nation's laws, with no levies payable.
