The Scandinavian Union

This treaty shall serve to act as a union between nations of Scandinavia whom agree to participate. The nations involved in this treaty reaffirm their commitment to civil rights, freedom, and international brotherhood. The participants in this treaty hereby affirm their commitment to these ideals by undertaking in the Scandinavian Union.

OOC: I don’t feel I have to write out a full treaty for this agreement yet, so here’s an outline of provisions.

IC:
-The participants of this treaty agree to a common currency, the Scandinavian Kano
-The participants in this agreement acknowledge that free trade shall from this point on exist between them
-The participants agree to effectively eliminate the borders existing between them.
-As a common economy has been created, trade agreements must be approved by all ScU members. Existing trade agreements shall stand, but be applied to all new ScU members.

-A common military command will be built from the armed forces of all parties.
-In order for one nation to go to war, they must pass the war with all other nations in the Union, since the act would draw in other member states as well.
-Military access is a provision of this treaty. Troops can be freely positioned throughout member states.
-Ports shall be completely open between members of this treaty.

-The nations signing this treaty agree to support each other with a common foreign policy.
-Each country will hold onto its national sovereignty for the most part. While the countries involved will often be represented as a whole, currently standing institutions shall be left as they are and voters in each country may only participate in elections in their respective countries.
-A population-proportional panel shall be established as a lower house of universal legislature. A non-proportionate house will also be established, to make a united legislature. Rules from this body are to supersede national laws.
-A Scandinavian high court shall be established. This will be the highest court of appeals open to ScU citizens.

You could have some representation in the organization, though I'd doubt you'd like to participate in ALL the provisions of the union. What would you have in mind?


Marslava-
We'd perhaps be willing to set up some sort of relations with the Danubian Union, however it should be noted that the ScU does not boil members into a single nation persae. Regardless, a meeting can be arranged in Çerdoville where representatives from each DU member state and each ScU member state may be present.

OOC: A commercial accord could deffinately be hammered out, though a political alliance would take some work. We'll talk it over at the conference IC.

As both Harkeburg and Çerdoné are Madrid Pact members, then yes, it shall.

On the Issue of Humanitarian Aid

Çerdoné has long considered itself to be a champion of the developing world. Recently, poverty in several regions has increased, and we have stood aside watching cautiously. Some of the places that come to mind are Agbada and Espanore, two regions that have been war torn directly as a result of former imperial rule.

Both countries now boil ever closer to war. We in Çerdoné would like to see ScU peace keepers deployed in the area to maintain security in the regions. In Agbada, we'd play a role controlling the ever-powerful militia's, and in Espanore we'd be fulfilling a roll of maintaining current borders.

In addition to the deployment of peace keepers, we also suggest becoming official sponsors of the newly formed Mother Teressa Peace Conglomerate. The organization serves the purpose of world peace nobly, and we hope to see it grow significantly. Sponsoring the group would help aid the development of nations worldwide, as well as demonstrate our humanitarian capacity.

"Harkeburg concurs. It is our duty as human beings to assist our fellow human beings, and this venture has our full support. In response to this call, I think we should create an aid agency, ScandAid, which will be an organisation that people can donate their money or time to. If they have a particular skill, such as carpentry or nursing, we can help rebuild the poorer nations. Even if we help one village, we will be helping many more people by giving them hope. Also, for the well-known health problems in some very poor nations, as well as the advancement of science in Scandinavia, a Scandinavian Scientific Research Laboratory (SSRL) should be built in one of the two current member states. The Secretariat of Education and Science and the Secretariat of Health have both agreed to fund if the SSRL is set up in Harkeburg. Kungenburgstad City Planing has elected a site for the SSRL, and a private company KungenBuild has agreed to build the Labs, if they go ahead in Harkeburg." a statement from Prime Minister Zdravo.

Kungenburgstad, Kungenburg, Harkeburg, is proud to be home of the Scandinavian Scientific Research Laboratories, as well as ScandAid's headquarters.

The SSRL Complex will be state of the art, with high tech facilities. The Union's best scientific minds will be invited to work at the Labs, as well as from around the world. The Labs will focus on medical science and astronomy for the time being, but will be able to be built on for all fields of science. The first facilities built will be the medical research labs, as well as the telescope. The project will be funded by the Secretariat of Education and Science, the Secretariat of Health, and the Department of Infrastructure of Kungenburg Province.

This will be an advancement of science in Scandinavia, as well as health technologies.
