      Official Communique from the Department of State in conjunction with the Department of Defence

      The Federal Republic of Yosai wish to assert its claims to an equal share of the Strait of Adventuranza.. The Governments official stance is that Yosai shares the same coastline as Spain and would like either equal share of the waters of strait being 12nm from our respective coastlines or have the Strait of Adventuranza be made into a neutral zone where neither. If the kingdom of Spain can present an agreement that can present mutual benefit for both nations, that that would be fine, we encourage them to come forward and present an agreement, that is what the summit is for.

      However this claim on of the entire Strait of Adventuranza as highlighted in green includes many towns and harbour cities. Cities such as Osaka, Gyukanjima, Seiguro etc. Cities which depend on trade on that Strait. What the map shows is Spain's claims to that it can tax cargo coming to our ports and harbors , which contain the area highlighted in green on this map.

      No nation in any respect would accept such a claim. Thus we aim to voice our contention in the name of protecting the citizens of our nations harbor cities as well as our right to have an equitable claim on a Strait that by rights belongs to both nations. To that end the Department of Defence will be dispatching a battle group to extend their right for equal share of the Strait until a mutually beneficial agreement recognising equal claims is reached in conjunction with our allies from the Kingdom of Reitzmag.

      Press Release from the General Secretary Junichi Watanabe

      alt text

      “Good evening, ladies and Gentlemen

      Today was a revealing day. That Speech from Spanish President was rather revealing if not inaccurate. What we saw here was basically a sign of a leader of a nation with no ambitions other than total control to realise some imperial dream. That is total control of the entire strait which includes Yosai. They claim that the Red Strait is 100% Spanish because....Well they said so? And no other reason. So here we are again, no progress or any hope of normalising after a little over 6 months. It’s déjà vu.

      The fact is what we wanted and still want for that matter is simple. Equal share of the strait with both sides having equal sides and both nations allowed to make their own laws. It makes sense, we try to treat others like we want to be treated, the golden rule as the Christians say. The fact is that we had one summit in which neither Yosai nor Spain could agree to any terms, that part is true, which ended up with the status quo, and that was the extent of our contact.

      I remember having several meetings with my colleague Secretary of State Mr Yuichi Matsuda about approaching ways to normalise relations with Spain and giving each of our nations some space and time for cooler heads to prevail and see if we can revisit the issue and come up with some agreement later. We didn’t know what that would look like or how it would materialise but we wanted some form of mutually beneficial agreement. Something that both of us can agree on that doesn’t force another nation to enforce a foreign tax that has no right or jurisdiction within my government and doesn’t unfairly tax other nations purely on the basis of an unlucky geographical position.

      However earlier this year on the 21st of January they announced a ban on all our ships entering Gibraltar. We than knew that it was pointless to negotiate in good faith after that. So here we are. I just want to address that the reason Spain says it wants to tax nations cargo coming in and out of both straits is purely over concerns over the maintenance and conservation of marine and coast wildlife and the ecosystem of said ecosystems.

      In which the council thought if that was the case then it can compensate with some form on compensation over lost revenue if the tax were to be abolished. They clearly said no, the council then suggested a Green Fund where states can sign up and pay contributions towards the protection and conservation of the marine ecosystem of said straits in which they states can discuss how the agency would be funded, and how it would work and function, they clearly rejected it again without clear explanation, if the tax was truly about the protecting the environment so they claim, then wouldn't one think that either one of those proposals was a reasonable offer? I want it to be known that my government has no objections to either of these ideas, as conveyed by Councilor Ms Izumi Miwako.

      Which again leads us back here. They have shown that they clearly don’t intend to negotiate in good faith and that any amendments they propose is only to allow them exemptions to rules that we all have to follow as equal members of this union. But they have shown that the only thing they wish to do is claim entire bodies of water which share coastlines of other nations based on at best, dubious claims and at worst nationalistic ones and just taking revenue from those nations purely because of some sense of entitlement.

      The President of Spain clearly has no intentions of following the rules and doesn’t want to operate on equal footing with Yosai or other members of this union other than a small select group and his this paranoid fantasy idea that Yosai which has not acted agressively towards Spain at all is out to get them merely over the fact that we do not wish to impose or take part in a tax which has no right to be forced or be enforced by a foreign jurisdiction. He says that nations without a coastline have no voice in this legislation.

      Yosai believes in democracy, while it is true landlocked nations would have less of a stake to concern themselves over this potential legislation, they are a part of a global supply chain as well and they too have the right to vote on said legislation after all the most common and cheapest way to export is still over the water.

      It really that simple. Nothing more nothing less, and with that I have said my peace and will leave what I have said to consider. Good night.”

    • RE: Motion on the Status of the Strait of Adventuranza

      Yosainese Councillor Ms Izumi Miwako said her peace, she sighed in melonchology over the situation thinking carefully about what she had to say. She was representing the Federal Republic of Yosai so she spoke out with a firm yet measured manner.

      "Ladies and gentlemen. It is a sad day that it has to come to the European Council to mediate this matter. It is not the intention of Yosai's debut into the European Union to be such a turbulent time but...Well... Such is the reality. I can confidently say that with full confidence that the government I represent backs this measure being proposed by my esteemed counterpart Councillor Iras Tilkanas.

      My government only has 3 conditions, 3 conditions that we believe are perfectly reasonable for any nation to accept. The first is that Spain accepts that Yosai has equal right to the strait and to share the same amount of waters equally as they are not the only nation with coastline that faces the Strait, adhering to an even 12nm each. The Second leading from that is that Spain have no military presence on our side of the waters. Finally seeing as Spain unilaterally decided to claim the whole strait with towns and harbor cities that belong on our coastline which no nation would accept, we respectfully disagree with their assessment of taxing cargo leaving and arriving to our ports in our cities on our land. Thus we kindly ask them to re-asses such a policy.

      However those topics are for our leaders to discuss I'm just here to give context to the situation. The Yosainese government supports a proposal of the Straits of Adventuraza to be a temporary neutral zone until both nations can come up with an agreement that benefits both nations equally. However I do say that if General Secretary Junichi Watanabe had his way, this agreement outlined and proposed by Councillor Tilkana's would be the Strait of Adventuraza's default state. I will now yield my time for the rest of my colleagues deliberate further and will contribute to the discussion further when necessary. Thank you for your time. "

      She then sat back down on her designated seat waiting for further discussion and debate for the rest of the council.

      Official Communique from the Department of State

      2 days ago the Kingdom of Spain decided to initiate yet another power trip within the Straits of Gibraltar. We don't know why the Kingdom of Spain insists on raising the prices of goods that will ripple across Europe beyond the Gibraltar Strait and punish nations within that region on a whim, but that is the activity that they have chosen to undergo.

      I'm sure that we are not the only nation to express concern either in the present or the past that a Sub-national agency dictates the terms of trade for so many nations, but we suspect that those concerns have fell on deaf ears before. We will of course be willing to find alternative ways to work with and trade with nations in that region of course for those willing to approach us.

      However we are especially watching with keen interest the 4th criteria of entry into the Strait of Gibraltar which states "IV. All kind of vessels registered in, going to or coming from the Republic of Yosai will not be allowed to the Strait of Gibraltar". We can only see this as some kind of childish reprisal over the fact that Spain doesn't like the fact that they can no longer claim full ownership which they never fully had over the Red Strait or as they call it the Adventuranza Strait and has shown their intentions of never being fully willing to approach us as equals or as productive and peaceful neighbors.

      What this is, is a policy of a child lashing out and throwing their toys out of the cott because he doesn't like the rules. So here we are again. We were hoping that with the Crisis of the Red Strait/Adventuranza Strait crisis over, we can both just leave each other alone, call a truce and go our seperate ways and conduct our affairs with other nations without undermining each other and coexisting like mature adults do but the Kingdom of Spain has shown that it has no interest in that and is only interest with us is to antagonise and create another crisis.

      We will of course be willing to negotiate with Spain but on equal footing when they choose to to grow up.

    • RE: Amendment to the Nuclear Proliferation Act 2009

      I do like this compromise by my colleague Carita Falk. At least there is a chance to not have a permanent majority on issues such as nuclear arsenals. Majorities will come and go, but at least there is not a permanent majority. And while we are flattered to be considered as a worthy candidate by our colleagues from the Duchies, I agree with Councillor Faik, we have no aspirations to join as members of the ENAA in any capacity at this time. What we want is balance and the amendment proposed by the Archrepublic of Vayinaod's representative is at the moment the bast solution to ensure that.

      Secretary of State Yuichi Matsuda saw his saree "Ms Sakar, please sit." He knew what the Svarna Suryan ambassador was here for. However Yosai in its current iteration is the most democratic form it has been, known as the '2nd Republic'. The Yosainese form of democracy has had its own run in's with authoritarianism and has lived though it in his youth as well as most of his generation.

      "How was your journey, not to arduous I hope." He said with a polite smile.

      I just have a question for my colleague. " Where necessary, states may prohibit makes or models of vessels from transiting territorial waters, where the structure or features of the vessel pose a threat to the wellbeing of the territorial waters. However, if on arrival to such waters a vessel is deemed offensive to the natural wellbeing of the environment, the state will not be permitted to deny entry to the vessel on grounds of environmental safety."

      Is there a criteria for environmental safety or has that not been defined?
