[IC] [TWI-Only] The League of TWI (Assembly)

[Jagellion]

"I must say it is suspicious that Miklania always just happens to be involved in conflicts, especially ones involving members getting banned from this League - a non-partisan mechanism for peace. I believe it's probably worth looking into this odd correlation, but I'm sure many of my fellow delegates do not share the same sentiments as I do."

"I believe they've just stood up for what was right. Nothing worth looking into."

"I believe they've just stood up for what was right. Nothing worth looking into."

"That is not enough delegate," began Giles, " It ought to be investigated, perhaps, on account if the mysterious correlation. If the cause and actions of Miklania were just, then investigations should cause no concern. It is dangerous to fall into ignorance, however, especially with the patterns of international politics. Miklania is a great nation, and greatness can be leveraged for good or ill.

Furthermore, I second the amended proposal made by Polar Svalbard. Despite the King's stance in favour of Greater Imperialonia, it is ironic that Countess Fairglass should be informing us that the Empire is truly and wholly deceased."

[Volkegoth]

"Her title that was given to her by her nation has literally nothing to do with this discussion. And to address your other point, you can't just investigate things because they're coincidences.

On a final note, I second the amendment to the proposal."

[Great-Imperialonia]

"Delegates, after much consideration the Prime-Minister agreed to the amended proposal, however the Viceroy still needs to be convinced to give his royal assent. We expect that to be happening in the coming hours. We look forward to working with all the nations with a renewed vision."

Fairglass sat down, this was going to cause more trouble in Great-Imperialonian than she could have ever imagined, no wonder the Viceroy hesitated with his royal assent, this could lead to the downfall of her cabinet in the first weeks.

"Her title that was given to her by her nation has literally nothing to do with this discussion. And to address your other point, you can't just investigate things because they're coincidences.

On a final note, I second the amendment to the proposal."

"It does, in a manner, sir. Greater Imperialonia, to an extent wishes to distance itself from the Empire. It would have been made easier, convincing us of such a split to a more egalitarian republic.

I thank you sur, for seconding the proposal, though."

[Bhikkustan]

Has NA agreed to take the political prisoners? Feel like that would be important for this resolution. I've been out of the loop so he quite possibly may have but if not it's hardly fair to dump them on us

"Distancing yourself from a government does not mean you need to wipe your culture and tradition. Something as simple as her given title from her nation being scrutinized is too much, delegate. I don't like her nation's past any more than you do, but you're trying to have fixed what isn't broken."

"I think, sir, you attribute to much meaning to what I said. I was merely noting what I found ironic, not making a political starement; I should think the views of Belle Ilse en Terre very definitive on the subject of hereditary nobility."

[Atnaia]

Barburj, who had remained silent for the discussion, raised an eyebrow. He took a sip of his water, cleared his throat and spoke.

"Regardless of the Greater Imperialonia situation, discussions of Miklania's involvement in conflicts that frequently come up here is mere deflection. Is it not more likely that Miklania's interventionist foreign policy and the particular moral compass of its leadership have basically ensured that they are both on the right side of history more often than not, and that they tend to be involved when these cases arise? It's not some grand conspiracy of Miklanian operations, they simply stand for their principles and their principles tend to be, more often than not, correct. Not that it's difficult to be on the right side of things where genocides and firebombings are concerned. I say that as an Atnaian with the benefits of hindsight, after all. My people have not always had the best track record when it comes to doing the right thing."

He leaned forward, his Cheshire grin worn proudly. "Correlation does not imply causation, after all."

He leaned back again. "I agree to the amended proposal on behalf of Atnaia, but I must raise a more conceptual concern that it brings to mind. We live in an inherently unstable region. Certain nations within the TWI Sphere seem to change governments the way that I change pants or prosthetic legs, which is to say often enough to remain fashionable. Such matters do not exactly instill me with confidence where our current vetting powers are concerned. I make it no secret that my position is that the League has devolved into a circus of voting with no forward movement. One has to wonder how much more effective we could be if we weren't constantly bogged down in the mire of finger-pointing."

[Great-Imperialonia]

"That is not enough delegate," began Giles, " It ought to be investigated, perhaps, on account if the mysterious correlation.

"Even though the Empire is deceased we are still a monarchy, and also a nation with a three-class society of people, nobles and clergy. However, here in the League I am a delegate and my domestic titles do not matter."

[Corindia]

"Ah, so when it doesn't suit you the relics of your nation's imperial past don't matter. How convenient."

"Yes, very convenient indeed"

Fairglass stood up, time to have some dinner, everything that was to be said was mentioned. The proposal could be brought to a vote.

[Belle Ilse en Terre]

"Even though the Empire is deceased we are still a monarchy, and also a nation with a three-class society of people, nobles and clergy. "

"I am glad your country has retained a large measure of goodness then. "

[Atnaia]

Barburj frowned. "Fairglass," he spoke. "Getting up and leaving in the midst of a conversation of pertinence to the issue of your entrance to the League? This is how you are you are going to treat this organization? You are representing your nation's interests, and we are by no means done here. Show some respect to this delegation and honor the concerns of its members, recognizing their validity as representatives of their nations, or withdraw yourself and your nation's representation here. We aren't done having this conversation, and things may go poorly for your country's chances here if there is no one here to defend you. So sit down."

[Volkegoth]

"Oh leave her alone Delegate." Glass stood up, annoyed by the lack of at least some sympathy to the Fairglass, "I understand you may not be the friendliest of people to Mrs. Fairglass, and neither was I at first, but this Assembly's constant heckling of her for such simple things as her taking a break to fulfill a basic human need to eat and her title to her people?" Glass began to gather his papers and notes, placing them into a suitcase. "I've changed my mind. On behalf of the Volkegothic government, we now fully support the re-entrance of the Great-Imperialonia into the League of the Western Isles. I think it is time for some dinner. Mrs. Fairglass, do you mind if I join you? I think we have some things to discuss."

"Is that a second to the proposal?"

(Glass gave a second a while ago)

[The League of TWI]

"We will now move into voting proceedures on the proposal by Polar Svalbard on the reentrance to the League of the nation of Great-Imperialonia."
