[Bratislav]

President Albanov has arrived at Connolly City with his delegate. He has high hopes for this summit and is pleased to be in Columbion, a new IFA member that has made very promising democratic reforms. President Albanov has emphasized that he will push for an IFA Rapid Response to be formed at this summit in order to sufficiently aid member states in cases of attack.

President Albanov greeted President Wallace like he was an old friend

"Great to final meet you President Wallace. Thanks a lot for hosting this summit. I hope we can advance some key issues here. Your country is becoming a strong IFA ally and this summit puts your country in a good spotlight."

President Albanov took a seat and started reviewing some papers for the summit.

President David Albanov

[Columbion]

President James Wallace warmly welcomes President Albanov,

"It is absolutely fantastic to have you in Columbion! We hope that all of these issues get resolved with complete support from all. These issues are key to bolstering the strength of the IFA. We also hope to have the IFA Rapid Response issue resolved first as this is an important issue regarding the safety of all members."

We also hope to have the IFA Rapid Response issue resolved first as this is an important issue regarding the safety of all members."

"The IFA Rapid Response is something that we always have been discussing in the IFA but never really got to implementing it. For that reason, in this summit, the Rapid Response is our priority. I envision that each willing country would contribute a set number of troops to the Rapid Response Force and we would always have this force on standby. If a fellow IFA member was attacked, the Rapid Response Force is used automatically to defend the member-state. We will never use the Rapid Response to attack other nations. Since all of the IFA does not have the same exact arms, we would need to harmonize the type of weapons we use in such a Rapid Response Force. My Defense Ministry has concluded that it is ready to 5,000 Bratislavian Troops to this Rapid Reaction Force. We have suggested that the main fire-arm to be used in the force to be the M4 carbine, which is used by our Special Forces. "

[Insurgia]

Joseph Gamzee, the Representative for Insurgia to the IFA, arrives at Conolly City in a Presidential Limo. He appears with brown hair, with small streaks of grey in them. A grey suit, old-style glasses, and a cane to befit his coming elder age as he now entering his 40's. He greets the other Representatives and then takes his seat in the Summit. He also carries a dense Southern-Louisianan accent.

[Bratislav]

President Albanov greets Mr. Gamzee and fills him in on the discussions on the Rapid Response Force. He asks for his opinion on it.

[Insurgia]

"I boldly agree on this. I believe it is a great idea since it will lead to keeping us united and further more on full alert for any attacks or threats foreign and domestic to the IFA. I believe Insurgia agrees to this. However, I believe, that the nation should make the final decision. That it shouldn't be required for every nation to have a IFA Response Force if that nation doesn't want to have one." responds Gamzee.

[Guerro]

President Kilson Gutier of Guerro walked into the room. He's been here for a while. Guerro was, literally, right across the sea from Columbian. He's been busy with his recent re-election, but glady came to Connolly City to help with the IFA summit going on. When he came through the door, he recognized a few faces. He greeted President Albanov and President Wallace, and took his seat where the Guerrian nameplate was. Next to him was Joseph Gamzee, representing Insurgia. Also Guerros neighbor. Gutier greeted him and said "Sorry I'm late."

"My opinion on the Rapid Response Force is that I think it is a great idea. If any IFA member was attacked, especially if that member is small, they would have at least some hope on pulling through. But, I believe Gamzee is right too. That a nation should decide whether or not it is necessary for the a RRF unit to be present."

[Corenea]

Prime Minister Ben Rachel entered the building with four SIA operatives as escorts along with 3 delegates. Unlike President Samuel Hayes, Rachel is willing to attend the summit to discuss negotiations regarding the future of the Alliance

Prime Minister Ben Rachel

[Bratislav]

President Albanov additionally greets Prime Minister Ben Rachel of Corenea and President Kilson Gutier of Guerro. They are key IFA allies and Albanov highlights their importance to the alliance as he greets them.

He then addresses the ongoing discussion on the rapid response force.

"Let's be clear here. The Rapid Response Force would be an international force. It's not as if every member-state as a rapid response force. No. We have an Alliance wide, united rapid response force that would respond to the needs of our member-states in case of military aggression. Any willing member-state is welcome to contribute weapons and soldiers to this rapid response force. We are not expecting to have a huge force, but something that can be efficient in helping IFA members in times of crisis. Of course, the member-state will decide if they both want to contribute to the Rapid-Force and second if they want the Rapid Force helping them in a given time of crisis.

One question to ask here is should member-states that don't contribute to the Rapid Response Force be helped anyways by this force in their time of crisis?"

President Albanov than secretly asks a Corenean aide why the President of Corena has refused to come and if the President has come opposing views towards the IFA.

[Insurgia]

"I believe that regardless of if they contribute or not, they should be helped if they want help when they are in times of crisis. It would be like forcing them to contribute, cause of they didn't, we wouldn't offer them help. It's as if saying, if they didn't have a Military Force and they were attacked and didn't contribute, they would be doomed."

[Corenea]

President Albanov additionally greets Prime Minister Ben Rachel of Corenea and President Kilson Gutier of Guerro. They are key IFA allies and Albanov highlights their importance to the alliance as he greets them.

President Albanov than secretly asks a Corenean aide why the President of Corena has refused to come and if the President has come opposing views towards the IFA.

"Actually, we had a new change in the Constitution, the position of the Prime Minister is to have more power than the President. The President himself along with the general populace supported this change and the PM does most of the things now. We believe it will be more efficient way to run the country, the President still has some executive power but the Federal Assembly has more power than the President" The aide said

"Understood. Some political analysts in Bratislav are contemplating a similar move in our government, but it will take some time of course." Albanov said to the Corenean Aide.

He then responded to what the representative from Insurgia had said. "I understand your point and I believe it is a valid one. So does everyone else agree that even if you don't contribute to this Rapid Reaction Force, you still are eligible to be helped by the Force in times of crisis?"

[Guerro]

"Of course members who don't contribute should be helped. Let me give you an example. Lets say there is a very small nation in the IFA. They need every solider they can get on their military because of their small military, so they can't contribute to the RRF. If that nation Is attacked, and the RRF doesn't do anything because they didn't contribute, is that fair? Personally, I don't think it is. We would basically be leaving them to die because of their small size." Waiting for a response, Gutier looked over at the Corenenian Prime Minister. Strange. Shouldn't the President be here? He didn't ponder over it too much, though.

[Bratislav]

President Albanov takes in everything he has heard and agrees that any IFA member should be helped regardless of their contribution to the Rapid Reaction Force.

"What are nations here willing to contribute to this force? My country is ready to dedicate 5,000 troops to this force. We would of course have to talk about weapon harmonization within the force and obviously we are going to want some fighter jets to be part of the force. "

[Corenea]

"Well the Rapid Reaction Force should be use in defence of an IFA member who did not try to start a war. The Federal States of Corenea will donate 4,000 troops to the RRF but only when the fighting is justified" Prime Minister Ben Rachel said

"Of course. We would never use it to attack another country, just to defend our member-states in case of strife. We will draft an agreement to the creation of this rapid reaction force with the willing contributions. We are proposing that the Rapid Reaction troops use M4-Carbine guns. We will also need some willing members to give some fighter jets to the Rapid Reaction Force.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

President Cosmos walked into the room wearing his usual attire for meetings and conferences. The President hoped that this Summit would improve the IFA and its members as much as possible. He entered the room just as they were beginning to talk about the Rapid Reaction Force.
"Sorry I'm late my friends. I flew my driver along with me and he doesn't know the streets very well yet. As for the Rapid Reaction Force I support such a force. If this is approved I will have Exucular dedicate 5,000 troops and see if there are any spare aircraft Exucular could donate to the RRF as well."

(This is the first political figure that came to mind.)

"Welcome President Cosmos. Good to have an old friend here. We very much appreciate your desire to contribute to the Rapid Reaction Force. Given our common agreements here, I am prepared to draft the agreement for the official creation of the rapid reaction. I should have it ready to sign shortly."

[Columbion]

President Wallace spoke,

"If the Rapid Reaction Force does come into fruition, we will dedicate 10,000 Columbionite Defense Force soldiers to the force. We will also sell our old weapons to the RRF which can be used as needed as we are revamping our military with our massive boom in our economy."

[Slavaka (Ancient)]

Dimitri Zheleznev -President of Slavaka - 2nd IFA Meeting

After a long and tumultuous election season I was finally able to get out to the meeting. I was running late and I new that but hopefully they wouldn't mind to much. As I made my way into the building I flashed my identification card and made my way into the main meeting room.

I had already been informed of what they had been talking about and I walked in taking up a seat near my Bratislavian counterpart.

"I do apologize for my absence from the start if this meeting I needed to take care if something's within my nation and I caused me to be late, as I understand we are talking about a rapid response group? Might I ask how such an Organization would be commanded?"

OOC: sorry for the short post but it's like 3:30 AM so I'm off to bed.

[Guerro]

"If the RRF does come into effect, Guerro would be glad to contribute 4,000 solider to them." Kilson thought for a second.

"We would also be willing to give 12 Condor Type fighter jets and 23 Gator Type helicopters. The Condor is a mean, fast, well armed multipurpose jet. The Gator can contribute by delivering troops or rescuing civilians while being able to defend itself."

[Bratislav]

President Albanov warmly greets the President of Slavaka. A close military ally of Bratislav.

He then begins the draft of the creation of the Rapid Reaction Force.

AGREEMENT FOR THE CREATION OF THE IFA RAPID REACTION FORCE

• This force is intended to militarily aide member-states that are attacked without provocation by external countries.
• The RRF will not be used to attack other countries. It is only to be used to defend fellow member-states.
• The RRF is an international force and does not represent any one country. It is a multinational force consisting of various nationalities.
• Any IFA member-state is eligible to contribute to the RRF, however, protection by the RRF is not conditioned on a country's level of support to the RRF
• The first IFA RRF Base will be located near the Naval Base in Northern Bratislav.
• Any member-state has the right to withhold its troops in the RRF from participating in a given conflict. However, if they do not voice their opposition, the troops will be automatically sent to the area of conflict that the RRF's use is justified.

• Any member-state has the right to withdraw their armed forces from the IFA RRF.
