INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT SOUGHT FOR INTEGRATION OF XIANYANG Posted Image Posted Image Zhejiang, Xianyang - The PBC reports of growing internal support amongst the EU Council for integration with and delegation of full membership to the Federated Districts of Xianyang. Support among the international community is the last test for the EU. Continuing with the rigorous process first used by Porcu before allowing a territory to tie itself to the Republic as a dependency, the EU has been watching developments in the coastal territory of Australia for many years now. A concentrated home of ethnic Chinese, Xianyang has complied with every EU mandate and milestone necessary to complete its integration into the EU and take a place within the EU Council in Stockholm. A young democracy, Xianyang has grown tremendously over the past couple of decades as trade relations with Porcu and the EU have solidified and increased. Not without its blemishes, the country has worked to improve its relations with the indigenous population and great strides have been made in their integration. Numerous polls and various referendums taken over the course of several years have shown consistent support for joining the EU, all referendums passing by at least 54% of the vote and some polls showing a favorable rating as high as 75%. Now, however, approval is sought from the international community. The EU Council has subtly pushed for Xianyang's membership, though no large declarations or press conferences have been made as of yet. OOC: Since activity is a little low as of late, I'll be keeping the poll open a full week. I'll close the poll next Saturday evening (2/12). |

The Empire of Ireland strongly supports the integration of Xianyang into the EU. I am sure the EU's solid policies will allow Xianyang to grow and prosper, and integration into the EU will also allow for the proper defense of Xianyang and its people. -High King Aodh |

Provided that the territory is not disruptive, Provided that it understands and recognizes Kasnyian stewardship, Provided that the EU does not use its territory here to impose values beyond its scope, Kasnyia will have no objections. |

OOC: That might be political suicide if Kasnyia wants to distance itself from its Dominion years (the same going for the Eastern Empire). That said, it may be in both countries interest to work together of such topics, if only on the private level. Oh and I'd like to start using the demonym "Chinese" for the Eastern Empire as Yu will eventually claim the title of Chinese Emperor....eventually, once I finish the EE's current war which I will, eventually...... :| |

Official Communiqué The EU would like to thank the Irish High Kind for his kind support. ... Official Communiqué The Kasnyian Empire has nothing to fear from Xianyang's integration into the EU. The same rights enjoyed by current EU citizens will be extended to those within the sovereign borders of Xianyang as well. We welcome our comrades on the Indian subcontinent to visit, thereby alleviating any concerns that may still be held. ... Official Communiqué The EU is not intruding into places where it is not welcome or wanted. His Majesty would be well advised to have the results of years of properly conducted polling and referendum presented to him before making an abhorrent charge of xenophobia. Furthermore, Xianyang's inclusion is firmly supported by the international community. Edited by Porcu, Feb 14 2011, 08:05 PM.

Unless an accord can be reached between the EU and Sakha, which is unlikely, it seems the EU will be found in contravention of the terms the Empire has laid out. We will allow you the opportunity to appeal the current wishes of Sakha at Sakha's discretion. Otherwise, by the grace of His Imperial Majesty, we must also request that the EU leave Australia. - Statement from the Imperial Grand Parliament of Kasnyia |

We have seen no evidence of the supposed will of the people. And it is not the place of a European entity to question the right of the Asiatic states to make claim within Asia. The EU has no position here, other than free association as all non-Asian states in the region are under local stewardship, in this case being Kasnyia's stewardship. - Statement from the Grand Parliament of Kasnyia |

We kindly remind our Kasnyian comrades that the Asiatic populations of Singapore and Hong Kong are both part of the EU community and have benefited considerably. It was a democratic decision that was made over many years and with the specific needs of the people in mind. The EU is not a European but a truly international entity. The EU is not trespassing where it is not welcome |

Asia is Asian. Not International. Singapore and Hong Kong have not caused trouble and so the Emperor nor we, the Parliament have felt a need to say anything. However, Sakha now contends your claim and Asia gets weight over the "international" powers. Like we mentioned before, you may directly petition Sakha for permission at an equitable rate for them, but you have no inherent authority here. - Statement from the Grand Parliament OOC- Notice how the Parliament keeps speaking and not the Emperor...small hint of a plot I got in mind for Kasnyia later on. |

INTEGRATION COMPLETE Posted Image Zhejiang, Xianyang - Late yesterday afternoon the final paperwork was signed and collected together, official joining the state of Xianyang to the rest of the EU. Prime Minister Liu Zhongli met with EU officials in Zhejiang for much of the day before delegates and representatives joined members of the press in a large, elaborately decorated hall. The tone of the press conference was one of optimism and strength, despite recent protests raised by the Grand Parliament of Kasnyia and an initial point made by Sakha. When asked, Mr. Zhongli was adamant about absolving the EU of any possible wrongdoing. "...Claims made by Sakha were evaluated and both my government and the EU made efforts to contact their government, to no avail. Representatives from Sakha are more than welcome to voice their concerns here, but Xianyang is at the cusp of a monumental shift in the way it views the world and the way the world views Xianyang. "The Kasnyian Parliament may have the best of intentions at heart, but it has consistently been the wish of my countrymen and women to join beside other nations in the EU. If the Kasnyians truly do have the interest of Asia at heart, they will not hassle the free and democratic process any longer and will allow those of Xianyang to share in the prosperity the EU creates." Compared to past press conferences, specific plans were laid out with regard to the Aborigines, who live in a small number of discreet territories to the far west. EU officials made clear their intention to keep alive the unique culture and language of the natives, adding that no cost will be spared in providing them with all the rights and benefits that other EU citizens currently enjoy.

Merely stating how so very happy the locals are without proof reeks of propaganda. You will fulfil the terms laid out to you, which your representatives have conveniently ignored to answer. This is your last chance, and if Porcu does not comply, your colonial holdings, both here in Australia and Asia as a whole, will undergo dire consequences. Here are the terms again -

The memory of Kasnyia's Grand Parliament seems quite short, so it bears repeating: proof is given by years of polling and numerous referendum that the citizens of the sovereign territory of Xianyang wish to align with the Republic of Porcu and the other nations of the EU. The EU, or its memberstate of Xianyang, has not been "disruptive" and has merely pursued its interests peacefully. Kasnyian stewardship does not take precedence over Xianyangese sovereignty and the EU has not imposed itself upon any populace, and Kasnyia's position within Asia/Oceania will continue to be noted and respected. Full rights and liberties exercised by EU citizens will be advanced to all peoples of Xianyang, as is their wish in joining the EU.

Your polls are your own, and thus not independantly conducted, and thus not legitimate. Without neutral arbitration, your supposed legitimacy remains in question. You were told this was your last chance, and yet you do not recognize stewardship nor do you promise not to impose your values upon the locality. The Grand Parliament, therefore, must assume you are actively seeking to act in contravention of the privaleges...not rights...that the Porcuian empire, also known as the "EU", enjoys in Asia. As such, those privaleges are hereby revoked effective immediately. The colonial holdings of the EU are hereby declared illegitimate and subject to seizure by any sovereign Asian power. All Asian claims to EU territories are hereby valid. - Proclamation of the Imperial Grand Parliament of Kasnyia OOC- This has promise...at least Asia won't be dead anymore. |

Trade between the EU and any government firm or organization with ties to Guranburg and the Kasnyian government itself is hereby terminated. All financial assets and accounts within the jurisdiction of the EU that are linked to the Kasnyian government and royal family have been seized and/or shut down. EU citizens are advised not to travel to Kasnyia or any of her territories. Further aggression will be presented to ICON and steps will be taken to gather international support for sanctions against Guranburg. |

Hollow gestures. We have no assets outside Kasnyia for you to seize. However, we understand that it is meant as further insult. We shall respond in kind. We ask all Asia to rise against the Europeanists. Asia has been free for centuries. Asia must continue to remain so. Assist our charge against the Empire of Porcu. - Statement from the Imperial Grand Parliament of Kasnyia |

Maarten von Woensel noticed the great ruckus that their neighbors on the Indian subcontinent were stirring up, although he did not quite understand it. Official Statement from King Maarten von Woensel, Supreme Deity and Monarch of the Kingdom of Kandy As far as I can tell, Chinese people living in Australia want to be allied with Porcu. If they choose to do so, I don't see what the major concern is. I hereby invite Porcuian leaders, Kasnyian leaders, Xianyangi leaders, and anyone else who feels they have a stake in this territorial dispute to Kandy to discuss this matter further over pie, if for no reason than to clarify this matter, and to enjoy a fine boysenberry pie.

The EU will gladly accept such an invitation and would be more than happy to discuss the matter further with His Excellency; however, it may be premature to think that the Kasnyians are capable of shedding and exiting from their childish shell. |

The Eastern Empire does not recognize the EU nor any of its territories within the realm of Asia, which includes any territories within the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Yellow Sea, East Chinese Sea, South Chinese Sea, Philippine Sea, and any continental territories which fall east of the Indus River. We shall not respect these territorial borders and furthermore, officially declare a state of war between the Chinese Eastern Empire and the Republic of Porcu. Not only have they shown themselves as unwarranted occupationists of Asia but also supporters of terrorist organizations, impeding our government from bringing swift order back of China and whole of the Eastern Empire. The terrorists of Taiwan and their supporters will not be tolerated nor will unwarranted occupations of Asian territory. Signed, Prince Yu Conn, The Chinese Eastern Empire OOC: Naturally, until I conclude the current fighting in the Imperial Wars there is very little the Eastern Empire can really do. The declaration of war is really just a formality since technically we've been at war already anyhow. |
