Leonard addressed the assembly, "With the approval of the Security Council withstanding, we shall now take a vote among ourselves to approve the admittance of the Achaian Peloponnese as a permanent observer state of the Union of Nations. All nations which are against such admittance must make that known now." |

"Achaian Peloponnese shall hence forth be known as a permanent observing state in the Union of Nations." After the official entry of Achaian Peloponnese into the Union, the Secretary General moved on to the states which sought permanent membership. In front of every chief representative of a state which held full membership status in the Union, a screen lit up and a list, in alphabetical order according to each vying country's short name, dropped down. Beside each name were two options: "I approve." and "I object." "Please, look down at the screens in front of you. These screens are touch screen, sensitive to finger-touch. You will need to press you thumb against the scanner to the left of the screen, then enter your country's voting pass number which was provided upon each nation's arrival. Each state shall only be able to vote once for each nation. After entering all of your votes, you will need to reenter your voting pass number to verify and confirm your choices, please double-check. You may begin the process, thank you." Edited by Cielo, Jul 12 2014, 06:06 AM.

(OCC: Who are we voting on? It isn't entirely clear, as Dawinia originally join, but is asking for membership again. In addition, I'm not sure if Valkany is actually a part or has just intended to the entire time.) |

Antonio looks to the biometric scanner; he wasn't paranoid, however, he just didn't feel right doing so. He turns and leans into Alba. "Would you mind voting? I just think th-" "No need to explain," she responds, already placing her finger on the scanner, unlocking the screen to a list of candidates. "How do you wish to proceed?" "Approve all. I have to problem with the new members." She touches the screen, selecting "Approve" next to the nations in question, finally touching the finalize button, locking in the responses. They both sit back after, waiting for the meeting to proceed. |

Markus quickly ran down the list of candidates and approved them all without really paying attention. He saw no problems with adding new nations to the fold, and he was far too concerned with what came next. He kept running through the proposal in his head, to make sure he got it right. |

The Valkanian side just approved all other applicants to ensure the same treatment. (OOC: In my diplomatic meeting with Gilead I agreed to being a member. It wasn't very clear if I was a member yet or if I had to apply now so I did the later just to be sure) ((OOC: These votes are not valid, as Valkany has yet to be accepted into the UN by the General Assembly.))

Wonderful, Boris thought as he quietly gathered his things. "I have something of grave importance to attend to, stare here and make sure all goes well," he whispered to his aides as he slipped out. (OOC: Going to the BAM meeting--differing timeline. Honestly, I think I should've just done that from the start, but, you know, conflicting schedules and such.) |

Looking at the list before him, Prince Gregory was quite pleased until he saw the name of Izalith. While he has a friendly, though awkward, introduction to their young queen, he, being his father's go-to diplomat, had already gained information from Izalith via various sources (conspicuous drones, spies, blah blah) and we wasn't sure they would see eye to eye with some of the things the UN would be doing in the coming months and years. Rather than just bypassing this, he rose from his seat and gained acknowledgement from the Secretary-General. "Ladies and Gentlemen of the General Assembly, while I hold no disdain for the Kingdom of Izalith, I have reason to doubt that their moral or ethical ideals are anywhere near parallel with the general consensus of everyone else's. They may not agree with us on basic human rights or things of a similar matter, so before I cast my vote, I would like to hear directly from their delegation in order to ascertain how well they would fit in this organization as a full member-state. Thank you." Gregory took his seat and awaited what was to come. The Secretary-General raised a hand in the general direction of Izalith's delegation and asked, "Would the Kingdom of Izalith like to respond?" |

Charlotte stood and crossed her arms. "Clarify your reasoning. Considering my small nation has lower poverty, homelessness, racial tension and crime than yours I am thoroughly intrigued. Not to mention our foreign aid this year eclipsing Gilead's." The young Queen raised an eyebrow slightly "After all Gilead wouldn't make the blunder of singling out a new addition solely to swing votes in it's own favor. I imagine what is lacked in formal introduction is made up for by strong morals and honesty. So please, explain yourself." The Queen figured this focus was in return for all of those shot down drones and captured spies. She'd allowed them to roam freely outside the NFZ, but they were forfeit when they entered it. Considering Izalith's stellar if firm image, the Queen's seething venom at being looked down on by a corrupt pig puppet was watered down by her bemusement. After all the effort Charlotte had gone through to ban the Inquisitor Prime's use of several interrogation techniques and equipment as well for the good of Gilead's spies. The lack of compassion for their operatives was truly a concern. Izalith was confused that spy craft entered their airspace when it had been hinted in mainstream media several times that the NFZ was being lifted soon. Must be a habit of super powers to feel the need to pelvic thrust around to show they're in control despite their surroundings. 'how moral and just our global guardians are' the thought brought a faint smirk to Charlotte's lips. "I think the congregation here is now thoroughly intrigued why you singled out Izalith considering our humanitarian efforts, while admittedly watchful and heavy handed, are among the best on this planet. Or should we compare our non-existent suicide rate to yours as well? Or our national education scheme? We've already had foreign correspondents and free press in New Bligh confirm the information and search cities outside of the NFZ. So my curiosity simply continues to grow as to what concerns you hold." The young Queen continued to stand in contrast to the sitting Gilead representative. Her firm pose and proud demeanor contrasting harshly against the man who had made a public blunder in addressing her earlier. For a nation with so many spies they didn't appear to care at all about their first impressions on foreign nations that behaved differently to them. How very disappointing. 'come to think of it the corporations probably bent the king over and gave him a paddling when we refused to lift the ban on Gileadian media coming to Izalith' she could almost picture the Gilead king wearing his crown as a collar instead. How else could Gilead get that much money? Any other super power would have gone into debt doing what they were doing. Alas, from a philosophical, humanitarian and symbiotic standing point Charlotte now decided that continued positive or negative interaction with Gilead was utterly pointless. The amount of time wasted here already was immense, the bureaucracy and corruption reeked like an open and rotting wound to Izalithians who despised red tape and half assed attempts at anything. Charlotte contemplated simply walking out. Her workload was immense and so far the figures demanding the most respect appeared to be acting like school children. What a pathetic waste of her time. She had diplomats to appoint, an invasion to monitor, the Fair Lady wanted to reveal herself during the weaver festival, implementing the new imports into the country and handling lucrative export opportunities... Yet here she stood, being judged by musty old men who didn't like opposing opinions and new ideas. |

Prince Gregory continued to sit, now with left leg hanging over the other. He looked directly at Charlotte, smiling. His father had an immense sweet spot for children, even teens like her. With all of his might, he held back a desire to make a joke about her minstrel cycle and to offer to go buy her an icecream. "I have never heard such a vast array of lies spat from the mouth of a young lady such as yourself. Either you have been alienated by the real rulers of your country or you have no respect for yourself as a leader to speak with honesty." Turning his head to face the Secretary-General then to the broader audience of the General Assembly, Gregory spoke again, speaking to anyone who was listening at this point, "Do not be fooled such sharp-tongued ignorance. Izalith is not up to par with our standards of what is considered humane. But, don't take my words for it, we should post-pone the acceptance of the Kingdom into this organization until our own observers can enter it, survey it, and come back with a status report. This is a fair deal, so long as Izalith doesn't put on a puppet show for our observers to see, hiding any oppressive, corrupt state practices." |

Charlotte stared at Gregory with an almost shocked look of bewilderment and humor. He had attempted to steamroll over her request for evidence or even a theory as to what was wrong with her nation and all he had given was baseless slander and promises of something later. A blunder the poor prince had made in front of many representatives from less bumbling and bureaucratic nations than his own. The Queen merely shook her head with a short laugh. "This isn't local politics where you lie to get in and appease your sponsors prince. This is the international stage. To think your father trusted in you to represent his nation and instead all you have done is made amateur mistakes. You're not trying to manipulate half baked country bumpkins into buying some shoddy Gilead products here." The Queen crossed her arms and glared at the prince. "Unlike the 'just' representative from Gilead, Izalith does have an issue to address concerning your drones we shot down deep within Izalithian airspace. A clear violation of our sovereignty, a direct insult and offensive gesture made by military craft without any mention of it to the nation in question!" Her corporal rather meekly swiped a few times on her pad, putting the pictures, engineer and pilot reports up for all to see. The Gilead vessel that had launched them was also clearly wearing it's nation's colours, a rather sad fumble picked up by a camera under one of the fuselages of an Izalithian interception craft. Piecemeal profiles of 3 agents found attempting to infiltrate the capital and harassing citizens for information were also put forward. Only one had broken and released his identity, pinning him as an agent from Gilead. "Now I don't know about all of you but it's been drifting around the news recently that Izalith is rumored to be lifting it's NFZ soon, after all the policy is archaic and simply a remnant from our past. Apparently the idea that an opportunity to abuse one's power and attempt to get a newcomer to the global stage to dance to their tune was simply too much for the largest capitalist nation on the planet and it's little celebrity royal family though." Charlotte stopped in the middle of a firm hand gesture slashing forward and merely sighed. "Millions go hungry, go uneducated and abused. Used as resources and acceptable loses by hypocritical and naive governments such as Gilead while their corporations voraciously eat the oppressed and forsaken alive." Her guards took the cue and began moving for her to leave. "My nation will be entirely open within the next few weeks. Completely independent from the accusations of this pathetic family first attempt at proper representation. Izalith has nothing to hide and never did." Charlotte was quite vivid with disgust. She turned, but slowly looked at everyone in the room as she spoke her final words. "If Izalith aiding the third world via community, education and purging of adverse elements bothers your pocket books that much then take heart. The poor and down trodden of Noverra have had everything taken from them in the name of freedom and happiness of ambitious pigs across the seas. They have nothing left to lose. If the image of the north of my continent displeases you as civilians of every race, sex and faith cry tears of joy as Izalithian boots march down their streets, obliterating their oppressors and giving them back a real opportunity to live... if the idea that your cheap labor and low war prices on land and destroyed infrastructure might begin to vanish quicker than you think bring you to the point where you think spitting in my nation's face is the best course of action in front of your little international frat boys..." With this Charlotte merely shrugged and walked out with her entourage. She'd easily gone and killed her relations with any of Gilead's suck up nations and the colossal rotting corpse itself, however that was irrelevant. Izalith rode through countless struggles with iron will and zero empathy for the corrupt and malignant. Showing weakness here would have damaged the people's trust in the monarchy, which is directly installed and sanctioned by the Fair Lady. The people would rather look down on corrupt foreigners than suffer confusion and lack of conviction. Plus if her schedule was to meet no hick ups, she was to oversee the installation of the armament on Izalith's first nuclear submarine. With that, Izalith would once and for all slam the door on the fingers of over bearing and obese super powers who wanted to shove it around. The wonders of not becoming independent on external assets. |

The Verskanian delegation (minus Boris, after his departure, of course) couldn't help but smile at the Queen's tirade. "I believe the Gileadan prince just handed us a new ally, my friends," said Mihaylov, the Foreign Minister and now-head delegate. His assistant made a note on his paper, to remind him of their new diplomatic mission: "Izalith to the 'Second World'." "Wonderful," he continued, "now maybe if we just wait long enough, Gilead will lose all of its allies." "Bumbling fools." |

Emmanuel voted "yes" to all of the options. This ought to be interesting, he thought. Just then, though, the Gileadan prince addressed the Izalithan Queen, who seemed to be a tad miffed by it. Afterward, the Queen jumped into a minutes-long tirade about Gilead's crass capitalism, consumerism, and greed, then left in a huff, burning her bridges with Gilead's allies as she went. I spoke too soon, he thought, now it's definitely interesting. Royals. When will they learn? |
