Proposed Treaty

Post by Jonas »

Drafted up by Harald. I'm going to make some minor changes. Most important issues will be:
1. The Union will remain nominally independent, which is important to retain our own colour on the MCS and to avoid too much distrust in the first days.

2. The Crown will receive a certain amount of power over the executive power, while the legislative power will get elected. Nobility will be appointed by the Kaiser and receive a province / County. The Zhou (in this current draft refereed to as provinces) will be ruled by a governor-general, also a noble whom is appointed by the Kaiser.

3. The Seanad will be a chamber of nobles. Their voting power in the Seanad depends of their position (2 votes as governor-general, one as governor), and they advise the Kaiser on appointing a Diwang (a prime minister) after each election.

4. The Assembly / Yuan is elected by the people. I will, in accordance with past elections attempt to revive a more or less interesting seat distribution. They vote over the laws.

5. The Caudillo / Taoiseach will be me (till eternity, or until I decide otherwise). It's just a function to keep some control over decision making, so I can veto certain decisions. You never know, certainly not with a democracy.

6. The administration, appointed by the Diwang, must seek approval with a majority in the Yuan.


7. In character there will be apartheid: the Jingdaoese still attempt to keep power in their hands. The first months of the Union will be dominated by constant strife between the four Races: Jingdaoese, Kildari, Apollonteans and Batavians.

I have amended Article 4 replacing in two instances "Taoiseach" with "Caudillo", improve the wording and clarify that the Caudillo serves until death or resignation.

There are also a couple of clirical amendments to the Aticles 6 and 16.

Excellent. I imagine the Seanascal to actually almost always be the Steward who will act in the Kaiser's and Union's behalf. In the same sense as the governor-general in Canada, etc.

Article 6: Zhou

I'm not sure how to understand this. Does this mean that they act as representatives of the Throne or are representatives (Shirerithians who take it as their job)?

Article 14: Apollonian Armed Forces
Apollonia may maintain its own armed forces, but may not declare war unilaterally. It's main pyrpose shall be keeping the peace within its borders.
Should be 'purpose'.

Hallbjorn, I would like to thank you for your excellent support in this matter, but it seems that several forces in Shireroth are unwilling to accept a fair agreement. This treaty could have been an excellent starting point to mend our strained relationships, but alas. I can not accept a total annexation of the country (and I'm sure that there are sufficient people around who at least understand). I don't see the advantage in it. It could have been an eventual outcome of this agreement, but we will probably never know. :wink:
