Emergency resolution on Anglian aggression

[Orioni]

The joint quorum of the Entente of Oriental States,

RECOGNISING the role of Entente of Oriental States as a leading defensive organisation on Eurth,

LAUDING previous humanitarian missions and peacekeeping efforts by the Entente to both promote peace and protect human rights,

APPALLED by the unprovoked Anglian aggression against the Social Democratic Confederation,

CONCERNED by the surprise Suverin shift in foreign policy,

SHOCKED by the expanding Qubdian armed confrontation,

EXPRESSING great concern for the further escalation of this conflict,

DETERMINING that the situation in Occidental Europa continues to constitute a threat to international peace and security,

STRENGTHENED by the existing charter which includes a “Responsibility to Protect”,

CONCLUDING that these conflicts must be addressed in the form of international legislation, hereby enacts as follows:

1. the immediate imposition of an embargo against the Anglian aggressor, its leadership and industrial capacity to wage war.

2. the fast-tracked granted offer* of full defensive protection under the umbrella of proven EOS leadership to :

a. all existing observer states, 

b. all sovereign states bordering the Oriental Ocean,

c. All near-Oriental sovereign states on Eurth.

3. the offer of a privileged partnership to non-Oriental states who seek the same protection.

* OOC: Borrowing this same idea from the post Corinium Offered Full NAU Membership, which mentions: “Following the standoff between Seylos and Haruspex last month, the NAU has fast tracked an offer for the Republic of Corinium to join the North Adlantic Union. While not too many details have been released regarding the offer, it has been made clear that Corinium has officially accepted.”

OCC : Sorry of the short post but @Orioni, knowing that I'm pretty busy right now, allowed me to make a short post for my application to EOS.

End Office Correspondence: The Joint Quorum of the Entente of Oriental States.
From: The Palisi and Tonato Regional Governments of the Occidental Democratic Republic of Sitallo.

With Anglia's shocking takeover of the Fearannteth Kingdom and our barbaric neighbours tantrums about unfortunate, uncontrollable, events within our borders, Mesothalassa has shown itself to Sitallo that isolationism and struggling alone would not suffice. Therefore General Palisi and Lieutenant General Tonato officially declare on the behalf of all of Sitallo the intention for the Occidental Democratic Republic of Sitallo to join the Entente of Oriental States. To follow San Castellino's steps towards consolidation of peace and power within Mesothalassa and to combat hostile aggression here and across the globe.

From: Foreign Minister Po Nagar of The Socialist Republic of Rhava

Recognizing the Anglian influence in our draconian neighbor of Shendao, The Islamic Socialist Republic of Rhava also recognizing the danger to our own nation as Anglia has not all been the friendly nation to its neighbors. And seeing the annexation of Fearannteth has made Rhava all the more welcome to leaving isolation and joining the Entente of Oriental States.

Rhava Acknowledges that the only way to defeat the enemy, is together. United we stand, divided we fall.

FROM: Ayubi and Damak Var
TO: EOS

Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Foreign ministers of Ayubi and Damak Var met today. This was the second ministerial meeting, after the one last June in Avantine. We confirmed our shared opinion on the Anglian aggression and continue to monitor the developing conflict.

In May, the Entente of Oriental States opened its security umbrella to all partners and observers. Its purpose is a simple, but essential, one: to grant continued security to its people. For many decades, such simple freedoms were not available. And now these freedoms are again under threat.

Among the West Meteorolan nations, there is a significant interest in the EOS. The more we acknowledge this interest, the more we discover that previous misconceptions and misunderstandings disappear. There is instead a growing understanding of our common interest and common heritage. We too have to learn about our partners with an open mind. Our mutual openness strengthens our ability and our commitment to work together.

We are ready to take a significant step forward and look forward to meeting in person in Deseti. Together we aim to make a real contribution to cooperative security in the Euro-Oriental area. It is our wish that this application can be fulfilled speedily and completely so that our partnership can continue to grow and prosper.

Signed,
Foreign minister Adnaan el-Noori of Ayubi
Foreign executor Robert Exantus of Damak Var

(OOC : The Anglian conflict has been going on for +2 months. It would be realistic that these countries feel threatened by what's going on in Azania and request protection against this aggressor from the next best nearby alternative. It's what happend in RL conflicts of similar scale. As discussed in the relevant OOC topic, these NPC's can only join the defensive alliance while the conflict lasts. See my posts from last month and last week. With all the applicants awaiting a reply and @Esonice's private reminder, I think we can turn this topic into a poll for all EOS members to vote in. I'll ping every active member @Cristina, @Esonice, @Ide Jima , @Miiros, @Sunset Sea Islands and send you all a PM as well.)

[Orioni]

OOC. These applications have remained untreated for too long. We did have a vote on them, back in July. Three members votes on the candidates, including @Esonice, @Cristina and myself.

The following countries were approved by 100% by the existing members. I do believe this means they can become a full, voting member. 

• @Cashar
• Sitallo (NPC by @Metztlitlaca
• Ayubi (temporary membership during Anglian event)
• Damak Var (idem)

Two countries only received a 2/3 vote of approval.

• @San Castellino
• @Rhava

Question for the active EOS members who read this. The current alliance charter lacks a section about accepting new members: simple majority vote, two-thirds, or unanimity, or something else? For inspiration, I reviewed the ATARA charter, and they mention needing 1 sponsor and unanimous approval. How do we move forward with this? (Let's leave 7 days for your reply. If no reply arrives, we'll go with the middle option and pick the minimum of 2/3 vote rule.)

 

The requirement of a two-thirds vote means at least two thirds. As a consequence, nothing less will do.

A 2/3 vote results in these proportions.

• 2 of 2 members
• 2 of 3 members
• 3 of 4 members
• 3 of 5 members
• 4 of 6 members
• 4 of 7 members
• 6 of 8
• 6 of 9
• 7 of 10
• 8 of 11
• 8 of 12
• 9 of 13
• 10 of 14
• 10 of 15
• Etc.

OOC: Both Esonya and Cristina responded with a thumbs up. Alright, we’ll go with a 2/3 vote of approval. This means @San Castellino and @Rhava have officially joined the EOS.
