Founding Principles: The principles this Coalition was founded on is, freedom, liberty, equality and justice.

The Treaty of Mali

Our two great alliances at last, have come together, in an effort to promote world peace, and happiness. For to long have our two great alliances been pursuing the same goals separately. Well, let it be announced, that is no more.

THE TREATY OF MALI OPENING

-In this treaty, the Eastern Coalition is created.
-The Eastern Coalition is an alliance created between the members of Dar-Al-Islam and Comintern.
-The two original alliances will remain intact, and can still act alone, the treaty enforces the following;
- Any attack on a member of the coalition is to be deemed and attack on the whole of the Eastern Coalition
-Free and open technology trading between member countries
-Politically, we must act in the benefit of the Coalition of the whole, not just of ourselves.
-Member countries are to recognize and support the ruling faction of each country (see revolutions).

INFRASTRUCTURE
-Every faction, or alliance has a right to a representative, those currently being Morocco (Dar-Al-Islam) and FEAR (Comintern)
-These faction representatives have the following powers;
-Representation of their respective alliance, politically
-The right to declare war, with a %51 majority for the war.
-Should be able to effectively lead or push their respective alliance in a beneficial manner.
-Representatives are to be chosen by alliance, by whatever means the alliance deems appropriate.
-Every nation involved in the Eastern Coalition (EC) has these rights, among others;
-The right to vote on issues brought to the EC
-Defend itself by whatever means are necessary
-Create their own treaties, within our Coalition
-Bring up topics for discussion
-Put fourth bills.
-Save for War-Time, (see War) every major treaty, bill or revision will be voted on, by member states. For now every member has 1 vote, with a 51% majority needed for it to be passed.
-Any major revision of this document is to be voted on.
-The additions of other member states and or alliances are to be voted on.
-The applying state or alliance also must agree to this document, and other treaties recognized by the EC. (See Application)

TECH SHARING

-The Eastern Coalition shares it's technology amongst it's member states, regardless of wether or not the state is affiliated to Dar-Al-Islam or Comintern.


WAR

-Wars are to be group efforts fought for the good of man, and the EC as a whole.
-In the state of war, alliances are to be led by their selected representative.
-These representatives are to coordinate with each other.
-If it is a single nation, not affiliated to an alliance, then it must act as its own representative.
-As stated before, an attack on a single nation of the EC is to be handled as an attack on all members of the EC, unless otherwise noted.
-Unapproved first strikes by member nations does no insure EC support, depending on the situation, though support may be requested.
-Revolutions in member states are to be considered the unlawful take over of a country, and will not tolerated. The EC will strive to put the original governing body into power once more.
-Civil Wars are to also be considered an unlawful take over of a member states country, and as such, support will be sent to the original governing body.


WORLD AFFAIRS

-While nations are encouraged to often act as themselves, stirring up world tension is not support by the EC.
-Any treaties with other non-EC countries are to be treated as null, until approved by the EC.
-Any nation, or alliance wishing to apply for EC membership must meet certain requirements, before even being considered
-The nation must be willing to dedicate itself to our cause.
-The nation must accept the laws of the EC
-The nation must recognize EC stances and support them
-The nation must be ready to defend the EC against its enemies.
-The nation must not have previous engagements or treaties that would impede on the EC
-A nation need not be in an alliance for application, single states are accepted.
-In that scenario, it is to act as its own entity, and represent itself.
-Entire alliances are also accepted, and will be given full rights.


For now, this is the treaty, revisions that may be made, will be updated with a notification.


SIGNED:
The Kingdom of Morocco, The People of Pakistan, The Far Eastern Republic, The Arabian Umma, The Nation of Sudan, The Islamic Courts Union, The Socialist Republic of France, The Peoples Republic of Europe, Tunisian Arab Jamahiriya, The Nation of Venezuela, The Empire of Indonesia, The Central Asian Republic, The Argentine Federation, The Republic of Syria

Current Proposals

The acceptance of the Central Asian Republic into our Coalition PASSED (8/11)

Where our capital shall lay.

The acceptance of Argentina into our Coalition PASSED (7/11)

The acceptance of Syria into our Coalition PASSED (7/12)

New Technology Sharing Fund For All PASSED (7/13)

The acceptance of Japan into our Coalition PASSED (7/13)

I am currently working on a flag; if you have any however, please suggest it.

Updated with flag; I know its not great, so if you have one, or have any ideas for one, feel free to throw them my way.

NPCs here. I like how the flag doubles as a banner for the thread.

Thanks. I still have some updating, i.e tunisia and india both signed, so i must add signatures, and two more stars.

Venezuela, are you interested in joining?

Also, nigeria, have you changed your mind about possibly joining? Keep in mind, considering your a neutral nation, wed have to vote you in, but i have a feeling youd be welcomed.

SIGNED:

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, President of India

India relayed this message to us.

Now we just need Venezuela for this to be a true union of the Comintern and Dar al-Islam.

IC:

Nigeria humbly refuses to join, stating that the Treaty of the Congo gives them all the Moroccan protection they can handle.

All are in, I just need to update the stars now!

Updated the map once again, to include all 11 stars, for all 11 members.

Let it be known, to any member of the EC, that Morocco is willing to sell our Marine designs for 1 ASP. Proceeds are going to rebuilding my economy, because, honestly, 2 ASP is not cutting it.

Also, we are accepting new members, so apply here.

Do people realise that as long as you have the suitable level of technology, you don't need to buy plans...

Copycat designs are inferior however.

Do people realise that as long as you have the suitable level of technology, you don't need to buy plans...
Shhh.....

Copycat designs are inferior however.
Exactly!

Each to their own i guess!

Haha, I guess so.

Also, I'd like to bring up what you said in your other post, about the Tech sharing, and I agree. This will be only my second turn playing, but the way things are, I'm not going to be able to contribute tech. I'm focusing on my economy this turn, to raise it to 3 ASP, or 4 ASP. Once that happens, I will donate tech every turn.

It's just very hard to make up for military losses, and such, and donate tech on the 2 ASP per turn economy..

Very true. I understand your stance.

Trust me; Morocco feels bad about being a 'freeloader' however, after the losses sustained the our recent Nigerian conflict, and tensions rising in the world, this turns ASP is to be spent on My military and economy.

And if any friendly country wishes to donate 1 ASP, because all we need is 1 more, it would be much appreciated.

I am sure I could come to some loan agreement if you are interested?

We can also work together to improve your economy. PM me if interested, and i'll reply with how :evil:

That will come in about 6 hours btw.. im off back to work now.

As I said in the main thread, we are kicking some (butt?) and taking names. What countries are fair game (i.e. who can we attack) considering the Chicago Pact isn't really to threatening as of now...

http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/561/theeasterncoalition03.png
Our alliance as of now..

Also, I propose establishing a Coalition Capital, somewhere. They got Chicago.. we need somewhere!

Possible Candidates?

New Rabat
Vladivostok
Geneva, once it falls
Beijing


And with our economic boost.. we plan on investing in some technology this turn. Suggestions?

I would like some support in America.. its getting very messy and i'd like to know you guys have got my back.. take it to the group?

Of course I have your back, as promised. Albeit, the problems in America may deter my Tech ASP to my military. But, if it's needed, it's needed.

If you want support, let me know, I'll be happy to give it to you. It would be even better if you gave me a specific request (i.e. however many divisions of what)

And if you have a capital idea, feel free to throw it in hat...

The list goes on.

Tunisia,
Mexico City,
Perth

I vote Tunisia as we tend to be stable and away from all the action.

As arguably one of the greatest, most powerful and most prominent members surely it should be in FEAR.

Which is in and of itself an argument against it as capitol.

Perhaps it should be in a non-capital city... I.e. Geneva, mecca, tokyo, etc.

Eastern Coalition Members,
I would like to apply for membership for the Confederacy into the Eastern Coalition. I have reviewed the Treaty of Mali and found it to be a wholesome document that supports the fraternity of nations while assuring that no countries trample the others. I look forward to cooperation with each of you in the future whether or not I am voted into this body.
Thank you, Xavier Suarez

Since we are currently at war, Venezuela votes NEIGH!!!

http://pdx911truth.org/Portals/Portland/laughing%20horse%20239w%20150dp%2085.jpg

ALSO

Everyone REALLY needs to check the secret group...

Sorry Xavier, but I was unaware you were at war with Venezuela. Perhaps if you two made peace, and consessions were made, then sure. But for now, no, I am sorry.

(0/2)

Also, when do we celebrate victory over the Chicago Pact? My Moroccan party planners are dying to know.

That sounded very.. off. Sorry.

Oh Abaddon, I thought we were working things out nicely. Also, (OOC,) You started it.

Even IC i'll admit I started it :evil:

Details need to be discussed before we can have peace and you enter this EC.

I will send aid for Venezuela's homeland defence, incase of all out invasion.

3 Infantry, 3 Groups and 3 Fleets to the New World.

Intervention of the Eastern Coalition to support Venezuela's war of aggression against NADTA will remove Quebec's desire to eventually seek membership. We wish only to remove Venezuelans from NADTA's territory, as mutual defence is one of the terms of the alliance. Seeing as they've aligned themselves with the American Federation, and invaded Deseret to support them, we think you should reconsider.

Seeing as Venezuela is already a member of the EC it is our right to send support to help him against any attacks. Wether or not you wish to join us doesn't matter right now. You want to get in here. We could care less if you join or if you don't.

And, their is nothing for me to command. We are simply sending support to Venezuela, considering, American's aren't the most trust worthy people on Earth..

Thankyou Morroco. Quebec, we are not alligned with the American Federation, we are merely taking advantage of the mess you americans have got yourselves into :smug:

Exactly.

Also, Venezuela, I'm sending roughly 20 some infantry/marine units, and 10 Naval units to Central Mexico, to help support you if the American's decide on pushing south. This turn will really decide a lot. If they don't beat the AF, then the AF will gain the advantage methinks. If they do, well, I guess the Chicago Pact is dead.

EDIT: And until things blow over across the world, I think that.. Tunisia or New Rabat should be the capital of the alliance, if only temporarily. We need a head quarters, while at the same time, it needs to be a safe one. An African one seems to be best, as its staying away from the 'hot zones' i.e. The New World, The Pacific, Europe.

Founding Principles: The principles this Coalition was founded on is, freedom, liberty, equality and justice.


Whoa whoa whoa....what is this nonsense?

Your Municipalities are in Democratic Order. Words are just words. :evil:

freedom, liberty, equality and justice.
Freedom to do whatever we want.
The liberty to do whatever we want.
Equality between nations, or lack their of, when it comes to Western ones.
Justice being served, in the term of us ruling the world. >:D

Freedom as leader of our glorious nation to do whatever we want.
The liberty as leader of our glorious nation to do whatever we want.
Equality between nations, or lack their of, when it comes to Western ones.
Justice as leader of our glorious nation being served, in the term of us ruling the world. >:D

Everyone, please check our secret group, I have a quick question involving the defense of the Congo.. it's pretty urgent actually.

The Empire of Morocco proposes to allow the Central Asian Republic in our Coalition.

Assuming they agree and abide by the treaty of Mali, and are willing to take up arms to help fight off any aggressors, as we all are, my vote is a resounding

YES

(1/6) needed

(6 out of 11 votes must be a yes.)

Sudan, the Islamic Courts Union, and the Indonesian Empire vote YES. 4/11 votes, 2 more needed to pass.

The PRE votes YES

FEAR votes yes.

SRF votes aye.

7 out of 11! The Central Asian Republic is in!

I'm assuming you wish to sign the document?

I'll add your star ASAP

Arabian Umma votes YES!

BTW, if Pakistan can send a few specialized infantry, to be PMed, we need it.

More in our secret group.

Added a new star, and signature (again, I'm assuming your busy for back and fourth like that Imago. I wouldn't of added it if the CAR didn't request membership.)

We grow in power by the day!

I will include a new map of our alliance soon.

EDIT:

MAP

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5792/theeasterncoalition004.png

We are growing! This is indeed good. Hopefully new members will join us soon..



Also, we would like to propose a vote on the capital of our Coalition.

The only rule is you may not vote for a city under your rule.

My vote lies in Geneva.

Ugh, and so a chapter ends in the EC history. India leaves. Its name has been erased from the charter. The new flag will be reissued tommorow..

Hey guys!

Heyo'!

How are things flying.

Heard about your.. erm.. Iberian (haha) embargo. Sounds pretty intense. I wonder how your people will live.

Which port would you favor Moroccan grain imports in? :P

We're subsisting for now by drinking Brazilian blood but it won't last forever. We're going to make economic shifts to begin trade with the Eastern Coalition this year, as a departure from our DFI connections.

Yeah, sorry about that. It's sorta like loosing a cavity, and gaining a golden cap huh?

Ah well.

The Empire of Morocco proposes allowing Argentina to join in our Coalition against the capitialistic cheats, liars, orphan killers, opressors, etc. of the world.

Morocco votes aye

Anyone else?

TAJ says Aye.

Sudan, the Islamic Courts Union, the Indonesian Empire, and the Central Asian Republic vote AYE.

6/12 votes in favor, 1 more needed to pass.

*waits for Kara to check*

You'll have to excuse the FEAR ambassador for his lateness. He had to use the toilet which is quite a distance away.

We vote yes.

Ah, you mean the DFI rotundra?

Yeah. We've all been there before. :P

And so, Argentina, do you agree with the treaty of Mali, and wish to join our Coalition. Of course the terms we've talked about are agreed upon, save for the one, which you can discuss with the relavent partier..

We, the representatives of the Argentine Federation, acting as plenipotentiaries for El Presidente Ricardo Lorenzetto and the Government for the Argentine Federation and her sovereign People, do hereby pledge to uphold the Treaty of Mali to the best of our abilities, and to be a good and productive member of the Eastern Coalition for the mutual interests of all involved nations.

Welcome.

TAJ has all this new farmland looking for markets. I suppose you'll need some to support your glorious troops.

Huzzah!

Your leaders and citizens are always welcome in Morocco! And your navy has a free fueling station in New Rabat, rest assured. I've been wondering where to ship all of this excess Nigerian oil. Now I have something for my ships to do! :D

TO: The Eastern Coalition
FROM: Brazil

We will request one last time that you bring the berserk hound that you just admitted to membership to heel. It has attacked Brazil for no reason, has already robbed us of the amount they claim we robbed them of. (OOC: check the update. We lost 2 ASP and we pledged 2 ASP. The total economic damage inflicted on us equals 5.8 ASP). Argentina will destroy itself if it continues its annexation attempt, for my people will fight for every square inch of land and the DFI-NADTA will intervene. Please pressure Argentina into stopping its war before both of us are crippled for ever. We are waiting at the table, willing to discuss peace, but Argentina, at the moment, is not. We beg you to get them to join us at the table or your new member may prove more costly than it is worth.

We see no reason to demand that Argentina desist in the defense of its land and people from your crimes and aggression. We suggest you agree to their reasonable demands. The only one prolonging this war is your corrupt and decadent government.

We reccomend that the newly recreated Syria be allowed into the EC.

PS - On the Argentina Situation, do what Argentina says and like the Union you will at least be allowed to survive in some form.

Morocco agrees, and puts it in motion if TAJ hasn't already.. Shall voting commence?

The Empire of Morocco votes Aye on Syria's acceptance.

Defense of its lands and people? We have never done a thing to them. We have the backing of all the democratic nations of the world, excluding rouge states and the Islamic states that are not truly democratic. They have already taken their due in human lives and economic goods. Please get them to stop their war and stop spewing out propaganda. This issue could end up causing a large-scale war between the DFI-NADTA and the Eastern Coalition. At best it will cripple one of your members. This will cost you resources that could be best spent helping your own nations progress and advancing your alliance. It makes sense that they back down and you are the only people who can make them. Please do what is best for yourselves, Argentina and, if worst comes to worst, the world.

It is not our place to make Argentina do anything. Perhaps you shouldn't of stolen from them? Perhaps you should of done a lot of things to prevent this. But this is in the past now. With Quebec sending troops, you are aware that this is becoming bigger then it needs to be? You are the one furthering hostilities, calling for the help of NADTA/DFI. Argentina as of yet has not requested our help.

We vote yes on Syria's admission.

Thats (2/12). We need at least 5 more. *Imago?*

We need the assistance because your member illegally attacked us over matters that any sane government would resolve through diplomacy. Once Argentina is defeated in the DFI/NADTA's counter attack you will rally behind them. I would like to point out that one of your mandates is wars are to be group efforts fought for the good of man. How is the Argentine annexation attempt fit into this category? We would also like to point out that FEAR has already stated twice that you will intervene if Argentina continues its war of aggression. However I believe further efforts to get Argentina open to negotiation are pointless and further attempts to appeal to you to control your own member states when world peace may be threatened is also pointless. This war will continue until Argentina withdraws and prepares to actually negotiate rather than demand my nation cripple itself further so they can start another war in a few years time and finish the job they have already started. Another nation has now pledged their support. Either Argentina will fall and WWIII will break out or you will help myself and my diplomats open up Argentina to the idea of peace talks. The fate of the world. It is in your hands.

We would also like to point out that FEAR has already stated twice that you will intervene if Argentina continues its war of aggression.

Intervene in support of Argentina that is. The Grand Revolutionary Fleet is en route to liberate Brazil from its corrupt capitalist government.

We are liberating our brothers from Brazil.

The fate of the world. It is in your hands.
Western Drama. Actually, it is in your hands. Appease Argentina, and all will be well.

We need the assistance because your member illegally attacked us over matters that any sane government would resolve through diplomacy.
Actually not true. The old Argentine Federation attacked you. We had nothing to do with that, and as we see it your currently at war with a member nation. And debatable.

Once Argentina is defeated in the DFI/NADTA's counter attack you will rally behind them.

Aside from the fact that we find it amusing you assume Argentina would be so easily defeated, I question what exactly you mean. Are you saying we won't let Argentina simply fall, like some alliances have simply let The American Federation, Central Europe, Mesopatamia, along with Oceania simply fall to varying degrees? Of course we won't. At the same time, we are proposing diplomacy. We aren't exacting revenge on diplomatic statements to prolong the war (Quebec).

How is the Argentine annexation attempt fit into this category?

Let us re-examine the mandate that you are talking about.

-wars are to be group efforts
Not specific. Can range from world wide alliances to squad mates in a military. And, Argentina's military is involved. And thus, a group effort.

-fought for the good of man
Again, not specific. In this case, it's being fought for the good of both the Argentine and Brazillian people.

We would also like to point out that FEAR has already stated twice that you will intervene if Argentina continues its war of aggression
It is not their war of agression. They had a right to invade. But that's beside the point. Argentina did not call us to help them. We offered it. You begged your allies, and your recieving help, not based off of an alliance, more over based on past grievences. Shows how the west really works, huh?

However I believe further efforts to get Argentina open to negotiation are pointless
Your call. To be fair though, I'm fairly sure they proposed a reasonable peace.

and further attempts to appeal to you to control your own member states when world peace may be threatened is also pointless.
I don't recall any of our members bothering the old Chicago Pact when your member states went beserk. Was world peace not upset then? But now its a problem.

This war will continue until Argentina withdraws and prepares to actually negotiate rather than demand my nation cripple itself further so they can start another war in a few years time and finish the job they have already started.

Again, it seems to me it is you who wishes to prolong this war. But I'll let Argentina finish this argument.

Also, Argentina, Pakistan, any NPC countries, Arabia, etc.

Votes for Syria to join our awesome coalition? We need 5 more.

We have a bloody Communist party and they will be elected to power as and when the Brazilian people want a Communist government. What you mean is "We are annexing Brazil so we can set it up as a Communist satellite which is so FUBAR that it is a drain on your collective economies." We hope you actually see reason for the first time. Goodbye.

Sudan, the Islamic Courts Union, the Indonesian Empire, and the Central Asian Republic vote AYE on the issue of Syrian admission.

6/13 votes in favor, 1 more needed.

(But Syria will only become a true member after their actual creation in the update.)

Indeed, but may as well set up the floor.

As stated before, the FFI are willing to hear peace talks to prevent a conflict. If you allow Italy to be a self-ruling Democracy, we would listen to your terms.

All of this whining from Democratic nations is begining to bore me.

Quebec and Deseret wallow in a victory not won.

Iberia and ASEAN whines about Chinese human rights, yet doesn't actually do anything.

Brazil cries over losing a war against neighbor, both countries are currently unsupported.

Italians complain about not fighting hard enough, threaten war, but requests peace.

Mesopatamia and the CEU slowly get destroyed while their alliance stands 'at the ready.'

Pathetic, truly.

TerrisH, while it is your, SRF and PRE peace, may I suggest you becoming as I said, a sort of French Foreign Legion military, to counter insurgencies such as this. And if you truly are allied to the EC, I will send you social group membership.

This constant free italian crap is getting annoying to us. They wish to free a country they should of supported a year ago. Why not just accept the deal and roll with it. May I recommend burning Roma, sinking Venice, and knocking over Pisa?

As for you Brazil, again. All I hear is a nation filled with paranoia. Very annoying to be honest. Perhaps you should begin asking yourself why you have a communist party? Obviously it's not that bad, if the Brazillian people are in support of it. Or are you saying the Brazillian people are wrong in their political views?

Don't plead with us, and we suggest you stop pleading with the DFI, lest you wish for a bigger war. It is Argentina you should worry about.

FFI? What is this, oh you mean those irritating radio brodcasts we always ignore. We thought it was some kind of ad campaign for tourism. We suggest you lower your arms lest you cause suffering upon the people you are supposed to represent by leading them into folly.

We are serious. We will free Italy, either revolting or not. We suggest some peace talks, since that is better than the alternative. And for the record, we only broadcasted once, due to your lack of freedom of press, a basic human right.

As for you Brazil, again. All I hear is a nation filled with paranoia. Very annoying to be honest. Perhaps you should begin asking yourself why you have a communist party? Obviously it's not that bad, if the Brazillian people are in support of it. Or are you saying the Brazillian people are wrong in their political views?

Don't plead with us, and we suggest you stop pleading with the DFI, lest you wish for a bigger war. It is Argentina you should worry about.

I will answer your question as it is direct. I personally am a socialist and if a Communist government is democratically elected I will naturally support and aid that government to the best of my abilities whether that be in a government position or as the Opposition. We are appealing because the Argentinians will not come to the table. We use the word begging and pleading because they are emotive words and therefore more likely to receive a positive response. Charities use the same technique. It is a form of rhetoric. They had no just 'casus belli' and we have attempted to reason with Argentina. We are currently seeking economic aid from the DFI to ensure the reparations do not cripple us. We always have and do seek a diplomatic resolution to this conflict. I hope you can look past your own spin and see that. Then maybe you will help us achieve it.

"Human Rights" is a fallacy. It is merely a phrase created by those who seek to mislead. Nature made the rules we all live by and the only rule nature has ever adhered to is that you get to live until you die.

You have a choice if you wish to live you can do so in peace by not starting a fight or you can choose to die by starting a fight. This is your choice. Remember when you begin a fight the wager is your life. If you are prepared to bet it and lose it, as you will, then do so. But know that if requested by our allies we will aid them in crushing you.

Okay. So back to the Syria vote-

One vote is all that is needed at this point.

Also, Imago, can me (or someone else?) make flags for the NPC's in the EC? And Arabia/Venezuela, I think you two are the only players without flags.. are to make them? I wanna fly our colors.

We vote YES on admitting Syria to our glorious coalition!

Aha! Welcome back to having rights Argentina!

Syria is in. Imago, you says I gots to wait for the update though?

Italy, if you try anyway, I swear, we will bury you.

Italy, if you try anyway, I swear, we will bury you.

When the city of Chengdu was taken by Chinese rebels do you know what I did? I firebombed it with napalm and then chemical gassed everything in the area. Notice how Chengdu still is in ruins, no one lives there, it is a barren wasteland. It will never be rebuilt again, forever. A testament to what happens to those that resist.

I suggest you do the same with Rome and other major Italian cities.

Why not just blockade it from sea, and form a defensive line from land. If they want their country, they can have it. It just so happens that Italian cities will be under constant bombardment, schools and hospitals are prime targets, fields and farms are to be fire bombed, and the coast is to be ravaged by your artillerys guns.

Then, everyonce in awhile, we can drop some troops in for live target training excercises with the citizens of this new republic.

At that point, the rebels will have to choose between the citizens of the republic, and historical land marks, i.e. the leaning tower of Pisa, and their own pathetic ideals.

Point is, Deserete was hesistant to put down the Cascadian rebels, as fear of unnescessary loss of life grappled their peoples hearts. You'll get not such pity here.

Imago, you says I gots to wait for the update though?

The mechanics of the game don't really allow for new nations to pop into existence in the middle of diplo. One can never be totally sure what is going to happen in an update before one reads it. The potential Syria now has an automatic invite to the Eastern Coalition, but for now Syria is still only potential.

Well, if it's accepted, will you include that in the update?

Syria has become its own country, and joined the Eastern Coalition?

Something like that might already be in my first draft of the next update. But who knows? :p

Ugggghhhhh thats not awesome. Why are you such a tease Imago? F

First the edited post on the normal thread, now this. This update had better be awesome.. :P

I probably never should have mentioned what was in the edited post to begin with.

As for the update, since you want something concrete, I can tell you that the spotlight will almost certainly not be North America again. :)

Hurray! To be fair though, I wasn't expecting that..

Just so my heart can rest a bit easier.. that thing you posted.. is that gonna possible screw anyone over?

It might annoy a fair number of people, but it's nothing along the lines of China's implosion.

Aha.. and now I'm still a bit worried..

Still waiting on one vote for Syria.. I'd like to have em' in, so they can join right from the update.

Crezth voted Syria in. :)

Aha, I've forgotten. Duh.

Excuse my moment of stupidity. Alrighty then!

Syria has joined our alliance.

War has come to us, may every country do their duty. The details of our upcoming dominations can be talked about in the Social Group.

Morocco Proposes a Treaty of Mali amendment that allows every member of the Eastern Coalition part of our Tech Trading/Sharing agreement, regardless as to wether or not it is also in Dar-Al-Islam and Comintern.

Morocco votes AYE

We would like the political and religious leaders Dar-Al-Islam to proclaim a jihad against ASEAN to bolster, the Pakistani, Indonesian, and Arab forces, and encourage the people of Java, Borneo, and Moroland to resist their oppressors.

the Grand Cleric of Arabia proclaims a JIHAD against the ASEAN pigs, who worship the idols called money and watch shows that have half of a man talking to two others! They who ally with those who talk like they have botox injections in their brains!

I also declare a JIHAD of our ANCIENT CALIPHITE PROPORTIONS against the NEO CHRISTiAN CRUSADERS of south africa and their BLASPHEMY of the prophet Jesus as GOD! All who fights will go to heaven with virgins, and who defend the Islamic Faith will be rewareded for all eternalty; for it is inthe koran that those who defend Islam, goes to heaven!

Updated with new flag, to include stars for Argentina and Syria.

Any votes on the Tech sharing?

Jihad has been called for.

Sudan, the Islamic Courts Union, the Central Asian Republic, the Indonesian Empire, and Syria all vote to make tech sharing part of this organization. 5/13 in favor, 2 more needed to pass.

We vote aye.

Aye. 5555

And thus was one of the most pointless problems in NESing solved. Motion passed.

Yay! Methinks. I'll change the Treaty to reflect as such..

Everyone, please check the social group.

We wish for the Japanese Revolutionary Republic to be granted entry to the Eastern Coalition upon its formation.

We vote yes of course.

We vote Aye too.

(2/12)

5 More needed.

The nation of Pakistan votes Aye.

Delightful.

(3/12) 4 more needed.

The Indonesian Empire, the Central Asian Republic, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Islamic Courts Union, and Sudan all vote in favor. Passed.

(8/12)

Passed.
