Northern Sea Defence Organisation
2015 Vlud Summit
After a rocky last few weeks precipitated by the Lazarene Sea Crisis, EsquariLeaks, and Geadland's exit from the alliance, NOSDO leaders have called an emergency meeting, to be held at the organisation's headquarters in central Vlud. Vyvlander President Pamela Oegelkeper welcomes all leaders to the summit and hopes for a constructive debate that can guarantee the security of the region.

TOPICS TO DISCUSS
- Nevan membership in NOSDO
- The continued purpose of NOSDO in the changing geopolitical climate of the Northern Sea (i.e. is Unolia getting less threatening)
- The scope of the alliance (what and how much it does)
- Co-operation between armed forces, and the possibility of a combined NOSDO armed corps
- The continuation of the alliance in the future (whether anyone else wants to leave or Geadland wants to rejoin)
- The admission of Saexland and Atlantica into the alliance
ABOUT THE LOCATION
Vlud is Vyvland's largest city, with a population a little over 2 million. It is a historic city but also a modern financial and cultural centre, and was the capital of Vyvland until 2006. The airport where all leaders will be arriving (unless they want a scenic but long ferry trip) is at Wesge, 35km north of Vlud city centre. Leaders will arrive by car into the NOSDO HQ's secure courtyard where Oegelkeper will welcome them (OOC: RP this yourself). Others can arrive via the non-stop high-speed train from Wesge Airport to Piterkusel station, a 10-minute walk from the HQ. The building itself dates from the 16th century but was extensively reconstructed after shelling in the 1930s Vyvlander Civil War. It holds a number of offices allocated to NOSDO members' diplomats, and enough meeting rooms. The area outside the building will be cordoned off to a safe distance but, rest assured, there will be protestors outside this.
Here's a map of Vlud if you need it; the NOSDO HQ is marked 'Hoydaas NSWV' and is on the east bank of the river just north of the commercial district of Goydmurt.
RULES
- Keep it IC unless specified
- Remember NOSDO is foremost a military alliance
