Your welcome. We let you play in our baseball league. This was the lext logical step. ;D

Nate:

Are you letting me win in your baseball league? (*hopes he hasn't started an international incident with that comment*)

I've just issued a proclamation as the Founding Citizen which harmonises the foreign policy of the R.W.O. with that of Natopia, and gives the Senate of Natopia the right to review that foreign policy and reject foreign policy initiatives of the R.W.O. if it so chooses. Thus far, the R.W.O. has harmonised with three countries: Lavalon and Natopia on foreign policy, and Strathclyde insofar as the decisions of its Human Rights Commissioner (who is me) are concerned.

I consider the R.W.O's unilateral harmonisation of its policy with other micronations to be a declaration that the R.W.O. is making of itself an extension of these other micronations (much as the member nations of the EU are making themselves "part of Europe" by accepting its requirements of policy harmonisation). Thus, the R.W.O. is "part of Lavalon", "part of Natopia" and "part of Strathclyde", each in particular ways.

If we're planning to make a formal alliance treaty, I think it should simply recognise and codify the harmonisation of foreign policy I've just proclaimed, in a more bilateral than unilateral fashion.

you go ahead and make the treaty. I'll need to amend the constitution to allow the Senate to have control over foreign affairs. the constitution grants foreign affairs to the executive branch exclusivly. ill have to work out a wording so that the senate only has the power to exercise foreign policy over harmonized nations. hmm...
