“Trenaka votes aye.”

[Islamic Holy Sites]

“Aye.”

[Southeast Marajarbia]

“Aye.”

Tom Richards: “That makes 3 aye votes. 2 more aye votes and the Industry and Manufacturing Act becomes official alliance law.”

[Janpia]

Rep. Helmin: We vote aye

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Rep. Helmin: We vote aye

Tom Richards: “With one more aye vote, the Industry and Manufacturing Act will officially become alliance law! Do we hear any more votes?”

[Grande Germania]

Rep. Helmin: We vote aye

Tom Richards: “With one more aye vote, the Industry and Manufacturing Act will officially become alliance law! Do we hear any more votes?”

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Tom Richards: “With one more aye vote, the Industry and Manufacturing Act will officially become alliance law! Do we hear any more votes?”

"Czechoslovakia votes yes"

Tom Richards: “With 5 aye votes and 0 nay or abstain votes, the Industry and Manufacturing Act is now and officially GCN alliance law!”

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Tom Richards: “Ladies and Gentlemen of the World Parliament, I have received official news of a potential merger between GCN and ACI. If the merger vote fails, both sides are to have a vote on potential mutual cooperation. If the merger succeeds, the World Parliament will hold a vote on integration and will determine which branches the ACI will be assigned to.”

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Tom Richards: “Ladies and Gentlemen, it appears that the vote to merge ACI into GCN is failing. However, there are some contingency plans in place that my government has in case the merger had failed. The only one I can reveal right now is mutual cooperation with the ACI, forming a joint relationship with ACI. After all, my Government believes that the Global Confederation of Nations should have a partner alliance to peacefully cooperate with to ensure that there are more options. Since cooperation would be mutual, certain conditions, such as assistance in International conflicts, would both encourage new potential recruits for both ACI and GCN, and allow for the foreign affairs branch of the GCN to assist in this more diplomatic approach. Ladies and Gentlemen, I propose sending an official GCN ambassador to the ACI as an observer and purely diplomatic official to secure a mutually beneficial relationship with the ACI. However, which one of our members would volunteer to send a rep?”

Tom Richards: “The only member who has decided to become the official GCN ambassador to the Anti-Communist International Alliance is the BME, known to many simply as the nation of Meretica. Their government has already accepted the offer through closed-door negotiations.”

“We would.”

[Meretica]

Rep. Wilkes: "We have sent Justin Thyme to represent Meretica in the ACI. No move has been made to accept or reject him at this time."

[The King Isle]

"We need aid against the fascist menace that is Grande Germania, they have constantly said that they are going to invade the King Isle for no reason other than Democratic Processes"

[Grande Germania]

"We need aid against the fascist menace that is Grande Germania, they have constantly said that they are going to invade the King Isle for no reason other than Democratic Processes"

"Sir, I advise you to revise your speeches a bit, since we are no longer fascists and this is a question between you Kingmen is the ACI, I don't see why the GCN should intervene"

[Meretica]

"We need aid against the fascist menace that is Grande Germania, they have constantly said that they are going to invade the King Isle for no reason other than Democratic Processes"

"Sir, I advise you to revise your speeches a bit, since we are no longer fascists and this is a question between you Kingmen is the ACI, I don't see why the GCN should intervene"

"TKI and you are both members of the GCN. It automatically serves as an internal matter because you seek to fight one another. If it were, say, a trade agreement, I would be inclined to agree. But you are suggesting destroying a democratically elected government because of their economic policies... that's not exactly something that can be ignored."

"the invasion serves to bring TKI back on the right path of capitalism, and then I think their flag says the rest, the invasion will help the Kingmen people to understand which parties it is right to vote in order not to irritate the ACI"

[East Stal Saillnerce]

The three delegates enter the room indefinitely. Their immediate response to the statements made is:

“Why are we having the ACI, a quasi-fascist alliance, join the GCN? Not only does it further represent our desires to gain more enemies, but converting a fascist or quasi-fascist alliance is like saving a fascist soup kitchen; it simply shouldn’t be done.”

"So, the ACI serves purely as a way to force people to live under conditions that they do not support, regardless of how they vote, essentially outlawing political parties that align with their stances? Or does the ACI now stand in complete opposition to democracy? Nations that are members of ACI and GCN need to clear this muddled field, as you cannot claim to love democracy and then turn around and destroy a democracy that you disagree with on something like economics..."

"We completely agree with you"

"Please do not attempt to make tensions worse..."

“Is that Meretica’s argument? Reducing tensions is one thing, allying with fascists is another. There are ways to reduce tensions without doing such an unprincipled thing. Even so, why are we reducing tensions in the first place? If the GCN is in a perpetual war against slave traders, what more fascists?”

"well, if a guy is about to throw himself into a ravine you wouldn't push him to the ground? here, the ravine is socialism and the ICA is the push, we save countries from socialism, at the cost of having to make some sacrifices to the local population, but you know, not all peoples are smart enough to vote for the right political parties, so we at ACI give them a "nudge" "

Tom Richards: "Gentlemen, I highly advise we get back to the topic at hand. We are currently trying to improve relations with the ACI to fix their little fascist problem and get them on the right path forward. A merger movement already failed thanks to intel reports, which is why what we are doing is holding diplomatic negotiations. I advise that this, as well as any plans for an invasion of the King Isle simply cease in its entirety until a result from these negotiations can be gained. GCN is about promoting world peace, not war, but if our hands are forced, we will ensure that dire consequences follow with our allies in high places."

“You’re just further proving our point. What’s the need to ‘save’ countries from socialism? If the ACI is going to use this as their excuse, they should be dooming themselves to not entering the GCN. ‘Should be’ because people may end up accepting them anyway.”

OOC: This represents a problem alliances as far back as the start of the Live War time series have faced. Too many different ideologies come into conflict with each other. Ideologies aren’t as big of a factor in real-life geopolitics as people make them to be, but they almost always are here in II for some reason.

“Okay then. How are we to establish long-term peace agreements without fear of betrayal from them, especially them? We already aren’t much more powerful than they are.”
