WMD Summit; Totally not doing this again. *cough*

It's me. Hi

{Time Set: In a lull in military activity some time in the VERY near future - basically just a time without a major conflict going on}


It had taken many hours of debate within the halls of Freedom House - the centre of government for The Republic of the Cloud Peoples. Over these many hours, the Prime Minister (Edward Hertz) had been persuaded to change his long held ideals on the nation's military and stance of the worldwide state of affairs.
In one final push of debating, the PM and his close colleagues - the Minister of Defence, the Minister of Economics, and a few others had been beaten (metaphorically) into submission. It had not made Hertz's day.
"Mr. Gràhem". He sighed, "it looks like you'll have to make the preparations. I guess it may be for the best, but whether we like it or not, that's democracy. Get to it immediately please".
"Yes sir" was the Minister of Defence's reply.

(OOC: Meanwhile the rest of the government and the citizens breathed a sigh of relief. Would the PM finally think about the people for once??:P)

He returned to his office and began to write:

Dear esteemed leaders in the Universal Allegiance,
After some serious debate, it has been agreed within the Republic's Government, that we are to go ahead and organise a summit to all the nations within the region.
We, as a large country, in terms of size, population, economy, and military, have realised the dangers and damages that are been caused by recent and current conflicts amongst our neighbours.
According to recent studies, the content of pollutants in the atmosphere have seen an increase over the past few months which appear to correspond with military movements worldwide. We have also seen larger influxes in immigrants, shockingly, many with injuries. Levels of debris found washed up of The Cloud Peoples' shores have also increased, and it can only be assumed that this is happening in other places too.
This is why, as the Minister of Defence for one of largest nations in the region, I am inviting you on behalf of the government and people of The Cloud Peoples to visit us for a summit on all weapons and weapons fire, including but not limited to Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Without visiting or taking part, you will miss out on the opportunity to voice your opinion on the matter, and without you, we cannot hope to see change.
More details are to come, following your replies to our invite.
Yours Sincerely,
J. Gràhem.
Minister of Defence, The Republic of the Cloud Peoples.
Appointed to this task by no other than Prime Minister Edward Hertz.


[OOC:
I basically just copied this from the last thread - ignore the original and pretend I never started it :P
I'm looking for response (in a letter form if possible) within the next 3 days.
I shall then outline the information about the venue, travel to the venue, and what can be expected.
Then in about 5 or so days, the Summit will start.
If you do not get a reply in before it starts we can imagine you have and go from there]

How about we tax environmental and civilian damage caused by WMDs ? The deterrence factor more or less stays. You can import and export uranium, plutonium, gold, tritium and suchlike unhindered but if you use your nuke or similar you will be held responsible for the damage it's gonna cause. Paying 2 milion of USD equivalent for evry dead civilian 1 million for evry dead animal 20 milion for evry square kilometer of destroyed forest...numbers can be changed...This would give an incentive not to use WMD...its not much but it would be a good start.

"Oh, so now we are able to effectively tax a nation that's foolhardy enough to use a WMD? That's not possible! It would be like a cardboard box being given the job of a computer. It won't work!" exclaims Hanke.

"What to you know of computers? I bet, nothing." Macina scoffs. The Elektronisch shows a stock market view of nuclear traders.

"Actually, my minor in the University of Stahlsstein, known for its IT academy, was IT. Further, it doesn't require being a doctor to know you didn't have a large boil on your right hand in your entire life. Similarly, I know that those nuclear tests did not happen. Further, there IS no stock market for nuclear fuel in Great Scourge. So, either stop making things up or shut your mouth," says Simin, who is clearly quite cross, between Cewania's delegate and Ankshara's delegates.

"I am surprised that this meeting descended into a very long argument, and we didn't need to say anything," muses Tanjansa.

[you never clarified that!]
"When surrounded by imbeciles, it doesn't take two opposing worldviews for arguments to arise," dryly responds Lord Wiegand. He then stands up and bangs his fist on the table.
"ENOUGH! All in favour of a two-hour recess, say aye!"
The Scourgii say 'aye'.

"And why would that be? My party wants to prepare a draft for protocols on nuclear weapons. Clearly, nobody here can recall what was said beyond two minutes ago - if we write things down, it will help," says Lord Wiegand, even more angrily somehow.

"It does bring inherent hostility, as your tone indicates. If a recess is required so nobody bursts a blood vessel and dies of a cerebral hemorrhage, then I vote for it. Oh, and Ms. Simin? If recess is called for, would you mind a conversation?"

"Oh, fine. Its not like two hours is hardly enough to prepare a draft to make a groundbreaking agreement on nuclear weapons proliferation!"

"Indeed. Now, if people other than the Scourgii and Anksharans will not vote, than I take their silence as affirmation?"

So the international community is not able to tax WMD usage effectively BUT it is capable of limiting them to a number of 10 per nation ?...OK
...
What ? That eludes me but... nevermind...I vote aye for the recess.

Hertz, who had been looking a bit annoyed since his suggestion, muttered "aye".

"We vote aye for the recess." Archbishop Beelzebane says. (He should only be called "Inbelial" if he is being addressed as the Prince of Yusukistan.)

Lord Wiegand claps.
"Well! It look like this summit finally got something done, and yet we still disagree!" he says. Fleur, Hanke, and Simin all stand up, and Hanke and Justyn hold hands on the way out. Fleur leaves, following them, while Simin stays behind.
"Now, Empress Tanjansa, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?"
