Concord of Independent States (IC)

[Zarnicovia nova]

I would like to remind you that my nation also has some democracy. Certain versions of democracy are not bad.

"Your state is a special case, the one accepted is a full democracy"

"Some regions of our country have political systems one could consider democracy. Many members of CIS are not totally opposed to it and CIS itself is not against the idea or domestic pratice of democracy but the imperialist and warmongering tendensies of modern-day democracies such as those seen in Armenia."

[Sonakion]

"Following a compromise with Phenyzia and Cult of NWO. I Jin Xin Li of Zarnicovia Nova will put this to vote.

"Romanic Imperium is on the brink of war with Awesome Imperium, a war that they would've caused themselves by violating sovereignty. Do we intend to denounce RI's government as a CIS member?" Todd Huber asks with a raised eyebrow, glaring at RI's delegation to the CIS

"Romanic Imperium is on the brink of war with Awesome Imperium, a war that they would've caused themselves by violating sovereignty. Do we intend to denounce RI's government as a CIS member?" Todd Huber asks with a raised eyebrow, glaring at RI's delegation to the CIS

"The Romanic Imperium is a founder and they got some sort of deal going on in terms of being in an almost-union with their counterpart, to my knowledge. I think it would be best until we wait for the Romanic Representative to explain before we jump to any conclusions or actions."

OOC: It got decannonized lol.

OOC: Did it? I didn't realize, sorry!

[Awesome Imperium]

OOC: It didn't get decanonized, I'm about to ask RI for a Joint Senate and Delegate assembly In Rome (Rome is a neutral territory in the Roman Empire).

[Phenyzia]

OOC: It didn't get decanonized, I'm about to ask RI for a Joint Senate and Delegate assembly In Rome (Rome is a neutral territory in the Roman Empire).

OOC: Please try to minimize OOC posts in the CIS IC thread, if you got anything to add OOCly do it in the appropiate OOC thread.

"There is a situation in Acornesia that must come to our attention. The Imperion Coalition has issued an ultimatum for all forces apposed to the Monarchist faction in Acornesia to pull out immediately or risk destruction. This is an attack on our member East Acornesia and unlike Armenia this isn't just a declaration of war".

[Zarnicovia nova]

"The party believes that to ensure that an accident at the border may not occur. We shall partially de-mobilize our forces and the Turkish border with Armenia. The nuclear weapons of ZN have also been turned down to Orange Moon Alert Level. We hope fellow CIS members go along. Along with that the Party has suspended the use of lethal force against Catholic terrorists and dissidents exept when being fired upon."
