Dear Overcommittee of the Department of Diplomatic Relations of Free Syllvin,
We at the office would like to request the following, as you alluded to in your official diplomatic platform:
-Formal Acknowledgement as a Sovereign Nation
-Exchange of Diplomatic Officials
In addition, we’d like to apply for an unorthodox or, at least, unmentioned matter. We’d like to know if a Cultural Exchange would be possible between Mexregiona and Free Syllvin. If so, you’d be put under the umbrella our office has set up, which transports to your islands certain cultural aspects of our nation from time to time.
On the other hand, we’d like to commend your wisdom when it comes to the acceptance of joining alliances. We highly recommend you learn more about the Fire Pact before you consider joining. In fact, the Pact is debatable at best, and has recently gone to war with the South East Pacific Coalition (SEPC; which our nation is a member of).
With Best Intentions,
Mark Wallstrim, Scrivener of the USM

((For a little extra information, go http://forum.theeastpacific.com/topic/7006264/1/#new. It doesn’t hurt, I promise.))

The Overcommittee of the Department of Diplomatic Relations of Free Syllvin has reviewed your communications and is happy to submit to you the following results:

[ul]
[li]Formal Acknowledgement as a Sovereign Nation
The Overcommittee has voted 12-0 to APPROVE your request to have the United States of Mexregiona recognized by the Conclave and Island Assembly as a sovereign nation in its own right. This opens your nation to further dialog oppertunities with Free Syllvin.

[li]Exchange of Diplomatic Officials
The Overcommittee has voted 8-3 to APPROVE your request for the exchange of diplomatic officials between our nations. Necessary accommodations, introduction to customs and social rules, and establishment of regulations pertaining to diplomatic personnel can be overseen by a bi-national committee. This can be discussed at a neutral location between diplomatic teams from each nation.

[li]Cultural Exchange
The Overcommittee has voted 7-5 to APPROVE your request for the exchange of cultural goods between our nations. Such arrangements can be handled by our Department of Cultural Sustainment and Proliferation, to which you may direct other communications regarding this issue.

In addition, please submit at your earliest convenience a comparison between the Fire Pact and the South East Pacific Coalition and the beneficial and harmful aspects of Free Syllvin joining the SEPC/Fire Pact. Free Syllvin is dedicated to maintaining the best possible conditions for our citizens and other nations abroad, and thus it is in both our and your interest to be properly aware of how Free Syllvin can interact and be influenced by regional alliances.

[/size]

Dear Overcommittee of the Department of Diplomatic Relations of Free Syllvin,
We are glad that you have approved of our requests and we hope to work with your nation further in the future.
On the other hand, we’d like to give you basic summaries of three organizations. Keep in mind that we may be heavily biased in the matter. However, we’ll try to be objective.
The South East Pacific Coalition (SEPC):
-Members are from all around the world, but are centralized on the continent of Aurora.
-Defensive and militaristic organization; membership, depending on nation, may or may not be permanent.
-Doesn’t influence the internal workings of nations too significantly.
-Has multiple founders.
The Fire Pact:
-Members are from all around the world.
-Defensive, militaristic, and arguably ideological organization; membership is, for the most part, set in stone for a decade.
-Significantly influences the internal workings of nations.
-Has one founder and true leader: [nation]Celannica[/nation].
The Auroran Continental Assembly (ACA):
-Members are limited to the confines of the continent of Aurora.
-Defensive organization.
-Influence on national internal workings is little to none.
-Has multiple founders.

Of course, your nation, most likely, would not be allowed into the ACA, but the SEPC and the Pact, I am sure, would gladly take you in. However, I don’t believe I’m in the correct situation to invite you to the SEPC. You can apply http://forum.theeastpacific.com/topic/7006236/1/#new, if you decide it is in your best interest. Still, I would gain multiple takes on the subject before making a monumental decision like that.
With Best Intentions,
Mark Wallstrim, Scrivener of the USM

To: Overcommittee of the Department of Diplomatic Relations of Free Syllvin

I would like to apologize because due to past experiences, I was under the impression that by selecting Disaster Relief and Military Materiel Contributions that my nation would help your nation should a disaster struck and give military contributions to your nation, and not the other way around.

Secondly, here is a brief summary and benefits for joining the Fire Pact Alliance as you requested: The Fire Pact Alliance (FPA) is an international governmental organization designed to promote international co-operation through mutual development and military protection of member states that are located across the world. The Main Goal for the FPA is to basically help the world and the nations in it, but in order for us to continue our work, we must continue to advance our Three Minor Goals: Growth, Trade, and Protection. Growth represents the Alliance/member states gaining more influence/power, Trade represents the trading system of the FPA that would allow it’s members to economically help development in each other’s nations, and Protection represents defending another member nation from their enemies and extends to helping with each other crisis’s such as economic collapses or natural disaster. Overall, joining the FPA will help grow your economy, gain free trade access with all other members, recieve protection against all forms of threats regardless of what they are, and allows assistance in helping whatever goal’s you had in mind such as building a Space Station or gaining more territory for your nation.

(More Information can be obtained here.)

Finally, as a word of advice, whatever any nation may have informed you about a topic, whether now or in the future, please seek out the truth for yourself and believe in only the facts itself as lies can easily be created for the user to gain favor while facts remain unchangeable and pure.

Official Communication of The Realm of the Oan Isles

To:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Free Sylvan
From: The Foreign Office of The Oan Isles
Subject: EMBASSY AND DIPLOMATIC RELATION EXCHANGE

Dear
Sir or Madam

The government of The Oan Isles formally requests an embassy in your nation and the subsequent exchange of diplomatic recognition.

We request the following:

[ul][li]Ease of access of our merchant and fishing and undersea mineral exploration and extraction companies to your territorial waters.
[li]We will provide funds, technology and research expertise to complete the ambitious “The Gear” project.[/li][/ul]

We invite you to apply for an embassy here and visit our official information centre here to learn more about us. We hope we can cultivate a fruitful relationship and wish you the best in your future endeavours.

Regards
Locklyn Le Roy
Head of Diplomacy, The Oan Isles

[font=Times New Roman][size=100]To: The Foreign Office of The Oan Isles

The Overcommittee of the Department of Diplomatic Relations of Free Syllvin has reviewed your communications and is happy to submit to you the following results:

[ul]
[li]Access to Territorial Waters
The Overcommittee has voted 8-4 to DENY your request to allow corporations from the Oan Isles access to Syllvan waters. It is the Overcommittees opinion that Syllvan resources should be worked by Syllvan groups to maintain their environmental importance and ensure that the use is moderated.

[li]Donations for Project 14 “The Gear”
The Overcommittee has voted 7-5 to DENY your request to assist with construction of Project 14. All work on the Project is strictly classified beyond what is publicly available for the forseeable future while the Projects feasibility is determined.

The Overcommittee of the Department of Diplomatic Relations of Free Syllvin has reviewed your communications and is happy to submit to you the following results:

[ul]
[li]Request for an Embassy
The Overcommittee has voted 6-6 thus resulting in a DEFFERALon your request for an embassy in Free Syllvin. Resubmit a request at a a later date once you feel relations have improved.

[li]Request for Diplomatic Recognition
The Overcommittee has voted 6-6 thus resulting in a DEFERRAL on your request for diplomatic recognition. Resubmit a request at a later date once you feel relations have improved.

[edit_reason]Altered vote[/edit_reason][/size]

OOC: When you grant an embassy, it automatically means you recognise that country diplomatically. You can however recognise a country without starting an embassy. For example, the Oan Isles recognises Latianburg, but the embassy in Kuthernburg is the conduit for diplomacy. This happens when relations are chilly or the country doesn’t have the money to maintain a lot of embassies or the country does not fall within its strategic interests. An embassy is not just an office to issue visas. It’s a symbol of the fact that you recognise that the country it represents is a sovereign state.

Please review your decision. I presume you accept our help with the Gear project. I’m sure you have your own way of doing things, but diplomacy has standard procedures and language to prevent confusion

To:
Head of the Department of Diplomatic Relations of the Confederate Islands of Free Syllvin
