Can Aryez become a province of Natopia

[Ruha Aryeztur Mejorkhor]

I know it is a bit late, and you might be a bit uncertain about this, but Aryez is going through a horrible time right now and cannot survive on it's own. Aryez needs to join another nation to ensure it's survival. Aryez and Natopia have similarites in culture and their leaders have been well associated for a while. It is our request that Aryez join Natopia as a province.

Note that all this would do was give the power of Foreign Affairs to Natopia, assuming you do this under the same conditions as the rest did.

But don't give up! Sullifree has a mere 2 active citizens. And please go back to Aryez and read what I have to say before making this drastic decision.

Aryez should not necessarily be acquired entirely by Natopia. It is only certain things that are too much for the weakened Aryez to handle, such as foreign diplomacy and keeping track of citizens, and these things are covered by the VUAS treaty that I also supported for Lavalon. A degree of sovereignty is retained by the member nation under VUAS, but VUAS is not just a strong but also an expansive treaty.

I have also commented on the situation in Aryez, and disagree strongly with your (illegal) suspension of the constitution. It's no big deal, you still have all of the titanic powers you want under the provisions of the constitution. Since you are still only just below the status of an absolute monarch, I use the word titanic for a reason.

I'm suprised you refer to me as an absoulte monarch, when even though my powers were enourmous in theory, I never excercised most of them. I passed few bills by decree and let you (Xon) do most of the daily running of the empire, and Brandon was given a mostly free hand with the courts. Aryez remained a rather free nation. I actually seek to make myself more of a cultural symbol kind of like the emperor of Japan. Aryez's constituion was/is great but needs more citizens to actually work out. The constituion has been put back in place and Aryez will remain independent for now, but I would like to see what Nate says about the possibility of an acquisation. I persoanlly believe that Aryez's main strength is it's unique culture and that should be made into the focal point of Aryez and it's recuitment of new citizens. True, we have about 10 new citizens but most are inactive and raw. We will see.

[Tasneem]

I think we can figure something out. When Nate comes back he can work this out, I suppose

[Me the Lord of Aryez]

Aryez officially has over 10 citizens, however only about 5 are active and 2-3 comment from time to time. Aryez is ready to being talks.

[Aryeztur]

nate?

[Tasneem]

Nate's in Europe

[Aryeztur]

oh..

[Nathan]

but now im in New York at my grandparents' house.

well... this post is rather old... if you're still interested I'd suggest Aryez ratifiy the Treaty of Union and have it join VUAS... I get back Monday (and therfore back to my DSL connection.... this is awful, doing all this on dial-up, dsl really spoils ya) and then we can do negotiations.

But hey... i really hope this works for everyone.

[Tasneem]

Cable modem spoils you so much that DSL is slow.

I think that he tried to become a part of Antica, last I heard

[Nathan]

last i heard in Delphi Says... he said its not likley they'll annex aryez... they've even terminated their treaty with them.

[Ruhanruhar]

They are fools

[Tasneem]

Or maybe you're the fool, but who knows

[xon]

Aryeztur, at least I canceled our treaty with them before they did.

Next time, I'll head the effort to get a treaty with them.

I'll say again as I've said before, nations that have treaties with Antica, don't get messed around with by Antica.
