The Senate has voted to hold a referendum on ratification of the Treaty of Union. The results of the referendum will be binding unless the margin is less than ten percent. I will now open debate and discussion about this treaty for 24 hours. I'd like everyone who will vote in the referendum to read the treaty, debate this matter, voice your concerns, and ask any questions you may have about the plan. OUTLINE OF THE TREATY - TAS will move to the TAR forums - TAR will move to the TAS NS Region and the name of the region after the merger will be The Allied States - The TAR forums will be jointly administered by TAR and TAS admins, and when TAS citizens create an account on the TAR forums, the post count will be edited to reflect the number of posts you've made here - The regions will jointly hold a constitutional convention open to citizens of both region to decide the structure of the new government - All money will be converted to TAR's currency at a 3:2 exchange rate - The three state governments will be preserved in TAR and TAR's citizens will join the states Edited by CDLand, Aug 13 2015, 06:35 PM.

Approve it and we will become quite a badass region. We will give anyone a run for their money, but it can only happen if we are united and able to sustain a high level of activity. This keeps what's nice about TAR and what's nice about TAS. Frankly I have seen other merger negotiations and this was by far the best one. I am very optimistic about what lies ahead if we pass this. |

I support this idea strongly because it will strengthen us as a region. We will have just as much as a say in all discussions partaining to our new constitution. If this is a sucess it gives us a better chance to become a bigger influence and hey, we get to meet some pretty cool new people. Oh and CDland maybe bold the outline of the treaty part to make it more visible. Edited by Zach, Aug 13 2015, 06:38 PM.

MR. NEWMAN strode to the podium and recited the following address in favor of the Treaty of Union to the crowd: My fellow citizens, I am here today to ask for your support of the Treaty of Union. You all know the basic details of the treaty: TAS merges with the TAR forums, TAR merges with the TAS region. Today I want to make clear a few things: First, this Treaty in no way removes TAS as a region. The Treaty we have negotiated is very fair to both TAS and TAR. All of the elements of TAS that make TAS what it is will be kept after the merger: the states system, the political simulation, and the national/states roleplay. The political RP will be integrated into the new government, just like it is here. And the national/states roleplay will be operated by me personally as well as all of the participants as a private RP until/unless the new government takes it over. And in return for us moving to the TAR forums, the TAR region will come to TAS and the name of the region after the merger will be TAS. That being said, what are the benefits of this treaty? First and foremost, it will make both regions more populous, more robust, more resistant to periods of inactivity, and more interesting. The number of forum members will at least double. The number of nations in the Allied States region will skyrocket to at least 200, probably 250. We will have more people to participate in the government RP, the military RP, and in regional government. We will be able to revitalize our economy with more participants. And we will have the opportunity to participate in TAR's roleplay as well. I admit that it would be easy to say "no" and leave things the way they are now. Heck, I probably have more right than most people here to resist this move because I pretty much co-founded this region and co-created this forum and I've been on this forum since the beginning. But I will vote "yes" on the referendum, for one, because TAS isn't going away. But also, I want to ensure that our region remains strong, active, and fun. Honestly, for the past few weeks, the activity here has been rather stale, rarely hitting over 100 posts per day. Here we have the perfect opportunity to be bold and to reinvigorate the region.

Probably around 6 PM EST after the 24 hours have passed but perhaps a few hours sooner because I might be gone this afternoon. I'd like to reiterate that we'd like for everyone to voice their opinions and, as a personal note, if you plan on voting against, perhaps you could state your questions and concerns?
