Autonomous Arkonates - Invitation to the Ergonians

Post by Jonas »

"Honourable Members of the Imperial Yuan,

We welcome today Arkoness Roheline of Ergonia who shall answer our questions concerning the people of Ergonia, who seek our Emperor's guidance."



*A mild applause follows, while others shout enthusiastically "Hear! Hear!" or "Glory! Glory!".*

"Oh, thank you, thank you, kind Sirs! Now, time to put on my 'Serious Business' voice."

*An older member of Kuominliantang takes the floor.*

"Zhu, if I read your message to our honourable Diwang right, Ergonia would maintain "full cultural authority and autonomy, except that the Heavenly Light must be respected". While I agree that political and cultural liberties are of utmost importance, it is the role of the Heavenly Light - may He bless us - that interests me the most. Would Tianchaodao be endorsed? Would the Ergonians allow the establishment of state temples and shrines to pray to their Heavenly Light? This is, of course, without political consequences."


*Another younger member takes the floor.*

"Zhu, could you summarise for us what your nations wants and what it wants in return? Your requests made in your letter were very reasonable and acceptable, but could you repeat them once more in front of this legislation to avoid any further troubles?"


*Then a member of the leftist Nokarodo Faction takes the floor.*

"May I inquire how the Ergonians see there role within the USSO? Would they find it acceptable to join the organisation?"

"Your Excellency, Ergonia grants freedom of religion to all. This includes worshipers of the Heavenly Light. Just for the A.J.U, we can even go further and give special recognition and respect to the Heavenly Light as the deity of the chief religion of the A.J.U. and allow state temples and shrines to be erected. However, our chief cultural philosophy, Enaronoc, is an integral part of our society, and therefore we must be allowed to practice it, and our Council of Elders must follow it in making its decisions. Enaronoc is not a religion per se--although there are overlaps."
*Another younger member takes the floor.*

"Zhu, could you summarise for us what your nations wants and what it wants in return? Your requests made in your letter were very reasonable and acceptable, but could you repeat them once more in front of this legislation to avoid any further troubles?"
"Your Excellency, we want
1, Freedom to join and participate in SCUE;
2, Freedom to conduct our own trade on our own terms with both Jingdao and with other nations;
3, Freedom to have control over our own internal affairs in nearly every aspect, including security/police, transportation and waterways;
4, Freedom to withdraw from the A.J.U. with 30 days notice;
5, Freedom to conduct our foreign affairs and diplomacy as they relate to all things but defense
6, Taking over our defence, since our magnificent quantum shield is sadly no more.

in exchange for (dozo):

1, A.J.U. coloring on our territory on the MCS map;
2, Quantragen battery, unlimited energy source (note: requires cooperation of Ergonian scientists to use);
3, Jenutriolex serum, for enhanced 1000 yr+ Micran lifespans (note: also requires cooperation of Ergonian scientists to use);
4, An annual tribute payment composed of 10% of the annual Ergonian tax collections."


*Then a member of the leftist Nokarodo Faction takes the floor.*

"May I inquire how the Ergonians see there role within the USSO? Would they find it acceptable to join the organisation?"
"Your Excellency from the Nokarodo faction,

Our Fort Leuca is willing to host U.S.S.O. allied ships. Also, if we join the A.J.U., then through the A.J.U. we assume we are also a part of the U.S.S.O. But we would like to have some special stipulations in our annexation treaty. For instance, we only grant the construction of military bases or the stationing of soldiers in Ergonia at a facility in Fort Leuca, no more. Military and fighting are not a part of the Ergonian way, only peace and unity, since we traditionally use our advanced technology to render all weapons useless without a shot fired.

By the way, despite my aristocratic origins, I would like to further assure you, Sir, given that you are a representative of the Nokarodo faction, and Chairman Ming Wei, that Ergonia is a friend of the working person. "

"Good! We respect the cultural identity of those who seek our help. Those shrines and temples as special recognition would be more than sufficient in the eyes of the Yuan. It will also certainly increase the respect for each others peoples."

"The Yuan awaits any further answer from the diplomats. Should we assume that they are no longer interested?"

The Heavenly Light adopts the motion brought forward by Princess Yuling to Kelii K'aarve. She shall be severely punished in the Afterlife.
