Kazakhstan Krai Referance Map
Ancot, Repulaea
Subsidiary Ministry Offices
South Orferey District Proper
The official congress of delegates was to take place in the old Ministry building, in South Orferey. The ornate Ministry complex housed the offices of all primary Ministries from 1921 to 1989. She was a historic marvel of the Repulaean Republican system. A sight to behold. Since the days of old, however, it had been replaced by a larger construction, closer to the government district. The building was now used as a housing for the Ministries' subsidiary departments, a far less capital detail for a once treasured building. Her top floor, the 17th, had its decorated meeting hall reserved for international conventions when such space could be found nowhere else. Its capacity was great, the massive room spanning nearly two thirds the area of the entire story. Here, in that very room, the Ancot Accords were to be underway.
Flags drapped from each belligerant's respective seating sector, conveying their place of origin. The massive oval table, finely carved of pure cyprus, welcomed the representatives of each attending nation. Vast numbers of honor guardsmen were posted in and around the city block, due to the President's presence at the conferance. President Andrew Barr, of Repulaea, sat at the head of the table, as customary with either the mediator or the host nation. He acted as Repulaea's chief delegate, representing his nation's interests to his fullest capacity. His 7 diplomatic aids and 9 secrataries and ministers were seated around him, guards dotting every corner of the room. In each corner and upon the walls rested camaras of the international media, eagerly awaiting the results of the accords.
As aids finished passing out glasses of water and fine wine to each of the representatives, President Barr stood to formally begin the conferance. The room was hushed.
"Thank you all for joining us here in our nation's capital city, Ancot. Unfortunately, the conflict in Kazakhstan Krai has not permitted us to meet under more peaceful circumstances. As you all know, we have congregated here, in this place, to discuss the possibility of peacefully ending the current conflict in the Greater Russian territory of Kazakhstan Krai. For nearly two weeks now, the region has been highly contested by Russian and insurgent forces, which has prompted superpowers of the world to take military stances for and against certain factions. This has converted the region into an unstable political and military quagmire, costing the lives of and estimated 1,000 plus soldiers and perhaps even more innocents. This cannot be allowed to persist. That is why, ladies and gentlemen, we have assembled here today. Our hopes for peace can be met or broken here and now."
Silence persisted for several minutes only to be broken by the sounds of suffling papers being handed to President Barr. He fixed his glasses on his face after finding the correct sheet and resumed.
"Now here I have the Allied terms for peace. Please refer to the maps in front of you in case these terms invoke some unfamiliarity of the region in you. Also, due to the Insurgents' lack of delegation at this time, the representitive from Bothnia Minor will be allowed to speak for their interests on their behalf. The Greater Russians are also welcome, of course to object or to add to any points made in our treaty since they have yet to voice their own wishes in the matter. Our only proposal on the table, thus far, is for separation of Kazakhstan from north to south. Other suggestions are welcome." He cleared his throat. "So, the following is the general list of allied terms for peace:
Allied Terms of the Ancot Peace Accords
I - There must be a complete and total stoppage to hostile military action upon agreement of these peace accords, thus officially ending the war in Kazakhstan Krai.
II - Upon agreement of these accords, all supporting forces foreign to the Kazakhstan Krai region are to withdraw respectfully unless asked to do otherwise by the local governments.
III - Reparations are to be payed in full, by Peace for Men, Repulaea, and Bothnia Minor, for the many civilian damages caused during the Battle of Aktau.
IV - To settle a peaceful end to this conflict, the region of Kazakhstan Krai is to be devided thusly; the rebel supported provinces of Mangistau, Kyzylord, South Kazakhstan, and Zhambyl will be allowed to seceed peacefully to form their own independent state and government. All other provinces, primarily loyal to the Tsar, shall remain under the sovereignty of Greater Russia.
V - Any and all prisoners of war that still remain in their captors' hands are to be released to their respective nations upon the resolution of this agreement. "
The President relinquished his spectacles, setting them on the smooth cold table. He looked to his gracious audience. "Delagates of the congregation," he began firmly, "what say you?"
