Dear and most esteemed members of the Independent States Organization,

The United Kingdom of Border Guards is interested in joining this honorable and righteous organization, and we hereby ask for admission into this organization, wishing to ensure mutual cooperation and protection to all member states. However we do not wish to oblige the Independent States Treaty Organization to protect the Royal Commonwealth members as we feel that this is too much to ask from your righteous pact.

For the time being, we shall await your response impatiently.

Sincerely approved,

By His Eternal Majesty, by the Grace of God, of Border Guards, Erlaand and the Borderian Dominions beyond the Seas , Defender of the Faith, Duke of Westminster, Count of Yorkshire, King of Lancaster, Lord of Chester, Duke of New Borderia, Sovereign of the Most Honorable Order of the Sovereign Gentlemen, Sovereign of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the St.John, Sovereign of the Most Illustrious Order of Saint George,

THE SOCIALIST FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF ALLRULE

Official Communique
Chancellor Julie Clark
The Socialist Federal Republic is intersted in joining ISTO. Thus we hereby ask for admission into this noble and righteous union. However, we do not ask for fellow member states to protect us, as that would be very damaging.

[Bisgea]

Bisgea withdraws from ISTO due to classified reasons.

[Sarrowquand]

The Dominion government and the ISTO are deeply saddened that the independent state of Bisgea has seemingly chosen to abandon its quest for a deeper connection to the international scene by leaving its alliances at this time.

It is a concern of ours that you are leaving for 'classified' reasons and would like, should you prove amiable, to send a member of our BFA-ISTO team to talk with you about the future involvement of Bisgea in the world at large and your potential as an independent state.

We await your response.

[Traxa]

From the Desk of President Dimitar Javor

Dear Delegates of the Independent States Treaty Organization,

I write to you to express the desire of both the Traxan Government, and the Traxan People to join you in this organization. The decision to seek admittance comes as two of Traxa's closest neighboring states reside amongst the membership of this organization, and we the Traxan government believe that cooperation with neighbors is a corner stone in ensuring continued economic and social growth for our Great Republic. We also believe that maintaining good relations with our neighboring states is key to ensuring peace, and security not only for our Republic, but for our neighbors as well. I look forward with great anticipation to your reply.

My best regards.

[Genovia and Teck]

To: ISTO Alliance Government
From: Foreign Ministry of Genovia and Teck

I write to you on behalf of the United Government of Genovia and Teck and on behalf of the Genovian and Teckal people. Over the past five years we as a people have endured a civil war between Democratic Supporters, who wanted to abolish the Monarch and install a republic, and the Royalists, who supported the Monarch and wished for its prosperity and continuity. Three years ago Queen Margarita Hernandez Grinaldi along with all but two members of the Royal Family were killed either in the Palace Car Bombing or in executions commissioned by the Democratic Directory, which at the time controlled 45% of the country. At the end of the war King Goncalo was found hiding. As the highest noble left, he became King. Now in charge with rebuilding the nation to its former glory, King Goncalo would like for Genovia and Teck to apply to ISTO. It would be an honor for the Motherland to be accepted. While we are small and while we have a weak economy, you must remember we have just exited war. Also the biggest fight comes in a small package. Attached is our application.

Sincerely,

Foreign Minister Margarite Francisco

[The Wolf Hold]

Official Communiqué from the Office of the General Secretary of ISTO

To: All potential applicants
From: Major General Hokie, Wolf Holdian ISTO Executive Council Member
Subj: Applications

Firstly let me thank The Sutanate Of Shaff, The Mandarin Community of Epana and the United Government of Genovia and Teck for their applications. I am deeply sorry to say that none of you have been accepted into ISTO at this time, feel free to re-submit your application at a later date.

The Second matter is slightly graver. It has been a unanimous decision by the executive council of the ISTO to reject The Federation of Serbian Soviet Union, also by a unanimous vote it has been decided that you are permanently and resolutely barred from ISTO. Any more communications directed towards any ISTO members regarding an application to ISTO will be seen as harassment and be met with the necessary repercussions. I do hope you make the right choice.

Major General Hokie

[Nanwe]

To: Independent States Treaty Organization

From: Carlo Siliano, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nanwe

Subject: Application

After a recent vote in the National Assembly of Nanwe , and with a result of 543-251-9 , I, Carlo Siliano, minister of foreign affairs of Nanwe, in representation of not only Anya Surini, consul of Nanwe, but also of all our citizens, request membership on this international organization as a way of strengthening ties with other nations and as a way of ensuring prosperity and safety for our nation.

Nanwe, is a nation, after suffering several bloody conflicts, almost since the very start of the nation as we know it, that have make their people peaceful and truly believers of several values that in Nanwe, are considered indispensable for a person to be a complete human, like democracy, equality, safety, non-violence and many others, also as true defenders of the liberal ideology, we believe in the free market, and the opportunities presented on this organization when related to this aspect are more than interesting, as it would make Nanwe join a free market in different countries and continents, something that would greatly help not only nanwian economy but also our corporations. The presence of a neighbor nation, Traxa, makes us truly believe that the membership on this organization could help us to have better relationships with them and also to increase a larger free market are in western Tarquinia for Nanwe, as it would go from Southern Terra to Erusea.

Multe gratie,

Carlo Siliano, Ministro d'asunte etranxere da Nangue

[Minotzia]

Boris Zhalinkov descended the stairs that led up to the landing pad of the Presidential Mansion. There was a light drizzle and heavy cloud cover, giving the whole city a gray tone. Some uniformed soldiers were standing diligently at the roof entrance to the seat of the Minotzian executive branch. They moved aside as Boris walked near, and he entered the building.

He was carrying the briefcase that held the most recent report on the situation in Suomi. Things didn't look good, they had restored contact with the Vukovar, but the insertion team had disappeared a day before. And the president was still somewhere off the map, leaving Adrik in charge. But the vice president was nearly completely incompetent in foreign affairs, essentially tasking Boris with running everything that fell into the international spectrum.

The hallway that he came down to after coming through the roof entrance was dimly lit by some tasteful wall lamps. For the moment, the building was rather empty, as Adrik was addressing the Senate about what would be subsidized in next year's budget. He was headed for the basement, and by extension the top-secret situation room where he now routinely assessed the political implications of various international incidents. Stationed by the elevator were some more soldiers, toting M14 rifles that the UN had left after the provisional government ceded power to the Minotzians. Really, the situation room was a sub-basement bunker protected by various implements of metal, the most secure firewalls in the country, and the roughly fifty soldiers that guarded the estate.

Once in the elevator Boris swiped his keycard through the reader, and the elevator began the trip down to the room. There were only five people with keycards to this room, including the president, vice president, Boris, and the coordinators who oversaw the nation's military. The ding of the elevator reaching its destination signaled Boris to enter the four-digit password that was the final barrier to entry.

Various monitors covered the walls of the situation room, and a large conference table took the center of its floor. No one was in at the moment, as was usually the case when he came here. Boris preferred the silence and solitude of being alone and doing his work. A desktop computer was stationed at the far end of the room, and he sat down to review the most recent events. War, strife, rebellion, all the typical stuff, was present. But amidst the various reports he took notice of the ISTO. Minotzia had been looking for a security agreement for some time, and after looking at the treaty that binded the ISTO, he decided that it was more than adequate.

Crossing over to the table, he picked up the red phone and dialed the National District Headquarters, home of the Minotzian Senate. Adrik had already presented, and was currently on a smoke break, the official who answered told him. "Just get him on the phone," Boris said with a frustrated sigh. A few minutes of mind-numbing assurances, the Minotzian vice president answered.

"Boris, you know I'm in the Senate today, what's so urgent?" he demanded with an arrogance that was unusual for him.

"Well, my superior," he said with definite snarkiness, "I have a proposition for you." He explained the details of the ISTO, and Adrik mulled over it for a minute before answering.

"I believe that Vladimir would agree that this is an essential move for us, so draft a letter, I'll sign off on it." They exchanged good-byes and hung up. Boris cracked his knuckles and stretched out, then prepared to write a response.

Dear Lt. General Kevin Little, Acting Head of the ISTO
The Minotzian federal government has come to a consensus, and would like to join the ISTO as an official member and signee. We believe in free trade, and as such the economic conditions of the treaty will prove profitable for all sides should we be accepted. Our military, though small, has more than enough power to ensure we're a regional force. Politically we will recognize the provisions of the treaty, and back its enforcement. We seek stable and beneficial relations with ISTO nations, though we have no relations as of yet. Though the population of our nation is relatively small, we do have definite economic assets that will help to foster improved relations. It is the ultimate goal of the Minotzian government to seek security politically, economically, and militarily for our people, and as such we find it necessary to become a part of the ISTO.

Sincerely,

Adrik Vasilev, Vice President and Acting Head of State
