Definition of Nations (Istkalen) Bill
-
This bill is so clear, folks. It's saying that if you're from Istkalen and you want to serve our region, then the actions of J-TAI or whatever crazy regime took over your country shouldn't stop that. It's not a 'Commission-and-Council matter' about whether the Republic of Istkalen still exists, or doesn't exist, or used to not exist but does again, whatever - it's about the supreme legislative body of the European Union, which is this, the Council, OK, saying people from Istkalen can still stand for election to our offices here in Europolis.
Imagine if we said that no, actually you can't stand; then you could invade a country to stop a candidate from that country that you don't like. They surrender, you abolish their country, you take out the competition, OK? We know some of the globalists would do this so quick, I mean, look at what they did to Craticus. Look at what Juncker said about throwing Winston off a balcony; next time he'd be sending his tanks to Reitzmag, OK, and then there'd be no more Reitzmag, and no more Winston running for Internal Affairs, bye-bye! We can't do this, folks, it's crazy! We have to let people run! You can't not let people run, we can do a common view on everything else Istkalen later, but for now you have got to let people run for Commission, and for ECoJ.
So I'd like to thank the representative from Istkalen and all other good people, great people, who will support this great bill. Maybe Tusk, if he doesn't mind the competition, he can support this bill too, OK? We'll see.

I think it'd be best if we hear the opinions of the J-TAI on this matter.
Yuridiana Yahontov
Interim Councilor, Kingdom of Reitzmag -
The Empire of Inimicus will not support any attempt by any Councillor to use pseudo-legal ways to achieve representation from whatever murderous regime currently rules the territory of Istkalen. The Imperial Government hopes the Republic of Istkalen earns the trust of the international community over the next few months, after which we may reconsider our opinion.
Cllr Nicolas Benfield
Empire of Inimicus -
Benfield, you are so wrong. This guy needs to stop looking at climate graphs and read the Constitution, OK?
The Constitution says, "Commissioners do not represent nor are they related to any government of any member state of the European Union". OK? And this is about Commissioners, the bill doesn't say we should have a councillor from Istkalen. In fact, it says here, "This Act does not constitute recognition of the right of Istkalen to representation on the European Council."
All we are doing is saying if someone wants to represent the European Union, and they're from Istkalen, then the actions of the J-TAI shouldn't stop that. This isn't the medieval warm period any more, Benfield, we don't stop people standing for election because of a conquest, or a war.
I mean, you should have seen this guy, folks. All the time he's been reading these graphs, going up, going down, climate and temperatures, and I don't know. The only temperature he knows about is that the Globalists have gone cold. The only graph he knows about is that the Globalists' support is going down. You could even say it's going down like a hockey stick.
So folks, if you're not scared of a little opposition, and you don't want the Reitzmic army going around stopping anyone you don't like from running for Commission, then you have got to vote for this bill. That's all it is, folks. That's all it is.

Cllr. Trympov, just before I introduce an amendment to this bill, I want to remember you about something you seem not to understand: Mr. Juncker didn't say he would throw Atty. Winston off a balcony, but answering the question "What else could we expect about you?", he said: 'Joining the balconing team in Ibiza, but this time without a Parachute with you.' Also Ms. Yahontov, if you want to propose any guest to come here and explain what the Joint Transitional Authority for Istkalen thinks, please tell us a name and we will work to bring the person here as soon as possible.
But, as of now, here's my amendment:
SECTION I
II. Anyone who was a citizen of the Republic of Istkalen on May 26th, 2021 may not nominate themselves as a candidate for election to the European Commission and the European Court of Justice until the European Commission reaches a conclusion concerning the current status of Istkalen within the European Union.
and if elected, may serve in the role to which they have been elected.Donald Tusk
Deputy Speaker and Councillor for Spain -
Why? It is illegal to unilaterally strip millions of people of their citizenship. Are you so obsessed with Mr. Juncker that you are trying to block others from campaigning against him?
If this continues, we may have to secede our territory again as to reform Istkalen. I will also ask for an extension.
Iras Tilkanas
Representative of the Republic of Istkalen -
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.
