Definition of Nations (Istkalen) Bill
-
Cllr. Tilkanas, I think you don't really understand that Istkalen has ceased to exist, and you just need to look to the Instrument of Surrender, which under my reading gives the occupying forces, in this case, Reitzmag and Vayinaod; the power to abolish the State of Istkalen, which by the way, happened. That means Istkalen is not a country, therefore it can be a member of the European Union, so then they cannot have a Councillor. This is not about Mr. Juncker, the campaign or whatever you want to, it is about legal stuff. The European Commission is the only competent office to decide on how Istkalen should be regarded, while the Council should ratify that view. Meanwhile, it is not illegal to strip that people from their citizenship, because Istkalen doesn't exist, so they are stateless.
Donald Tusk
Deputy Speaker and Councillor for Spain -
I am now the Interim Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen, unrelated to the Republic of Istkalen.
Who gave the Commission this power? It isn't the Constitution, that is certain. It is you and you alone! Even though this involves a state which I no longer have any connection to, this is evil and insane!
Iras Tilkanas
Interim Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen -
I would like to clarify upon further reading the announcement made by the J-TAI that only the Republic of Istkalen was disbanded but the State of Istkalen remains. This therefore means that there is a state but the shadow government is absent until new elections have concluded. In addition, this means that Istkalen isn't stateless and still exists. There only isn't a shadow government that represents the people for the J-TAI. I am also informed that currently negotiations are underway for the formation of a joint government with the new Republic of Istkalen.
