THE VALOKCHIAN FEDERATION


The north coast of Valokchia touches Illumic waters, and therefore that shall justify us as a permanent member of the Council of Illumic Nations as we shall hereby place a signature on the charter to signify our membership with CoIN. For Valokchia to represent in Northfort, East Moreland we shall appoint Lina Žygaite as a representative for the Council of Illumic Nations. We are hoping our membership strengthens ties between others sharing the great coastline that touches the Illumic Channel...

Best regards,
Dimitry Kaminsky
Prime Minister of the Valokchian Federation

Council of Illumic Nations

Whilst the Grand Duchy has been most conservative in the use of her voice on the international stage Montsarre has elected to end this silence by affixing its signature to the Charter of the Council of Illumic Nations. I shall name René Barreau as Montsarre's representative upon the Council.  It is the interests of the Grand Duchy to be an active neighbour, contributing to the well-being and continued tranquility of our region.

Yours;


Émilie Poincaré
Grand Duchess of Montsarre

Empress of the First Empire of Rokkenjima

To:- Our Fellow Members of the Council

Today we have seen a non-Mhorish native nation effectively state they intend to disrupt the shipping of a native nation. Such measures go against the prime reasons for this organisation existing. It was the hope of His Majesty King David of East Moreland that the future of a region is best determined by those from the region. Today we have heard Achkaerin announce that, without consultation with any nation of the Illumic or the continent of Alba Karinya that they shall be sending a naval prescence to the region and enforce their "right of visit on vessels journeying to Zimalia" The motive for doing this is supposedly to halt human trafficing. Something that has recently been reported in East Moreland and Hassfurt, but has not been reported in Zimalia. Ships and trucks containing humans have been found in East Moreland yet we are the ones who will now see our shipping targeted.

In line with Article 106 of the FSC or every ship stopped by Achkaerin without first instructing the flagged nation as to what  "adequate grounds" there are for targeting that vessel a charge of $100,000 per hour will be levied on the Achkaerin government in accordance with the provision of this Article.

Furthermore we shall consider any attempts to board a Zimalian flagged vessel without first relaying what the "adequate grounds" for doing so are to our government as an armed attack and we shall take action to defend these ships.

We call upon our fellow Council members to support our stance.

President Elwes

Petition To Join The Council Of Illumic Nations

The First Empire, which consists of the Imperial Overseas Dependency of Rishiri, hereby seeks Associate Membership in the Council of Illumic Nations. The People of Rishiri, while Rokkenjiman, are very much children of the Illumic Region and represent Rokkenjima's history in the region. Rokkenjiman action against the United Soviet Russia went a long way to ensuring an Illumic which is not dominated by outside influences and, as proven through the Tripartite Agreement which was cast aside prematurely by the Saisei Empress, our nation has a long tradition of cooperation, mutual aims and goals with our Illumic partners as well as a history which has intertwined our Peoples and Cultures.

I look forward to your consideration as a member state of the original Illumic Council, and in Rokkenjima's joining of the renewed Council of Illumic Nations as an Associate Member.

Respectfully yours;


Empress of Rokkenjima
Princess of Arovium

Petition To Join The Council Of Illumic Nations

The bias and mistruths presented by the Republic of Heyra are duly noted. I am confident that the Council can see beyond the years long campaign the Republic has attempted to wage against the First Empire and restore the historic links between Rokkenjima and its Illumic partners.

Respectfully yours;
