OOC: As a preface, as far as I personally am concerned I see no realistic way in which Baltusia would have nuclear weapons so, I'm basically just going to ignore the issue. I think you should seriously consider re-evaluating the matter, as it is likely to limit an international RP with Baltusia in future but it ultimately isn't up to me. In terms of how I intend to RP this out, we'll just have Kalistan be forced into conceding on nuclear disarmament.
IC:Serhat Aslan: It is good to finally receive a response from the Conservative Party, even if they have supported a motion to pull Baltusia from these talks behind our backs. The 'War game' bill which outlines Baltusia's preparations for war is similarly disconcerting however Baltusia has made it clear that their Congress has something of a Wild West aspect to it so we'll put that to one side for now.
We are prepared to concede on nuclear disarmament at this time but please understand this places a severe strain on relations between our nations. In exchange, we'll ask that you agree to withdraw your troops immediately. There is no reason that they should remain there for two years, if Baltusian troops remain on the border after this conference has concluded we will have to respond in an appropriate manner, given that we remain exposed along this front. Furthermore, any request for Mr. Benn's extradition should occur no earlier than the year 4100. This is enough time for some bizarre change of scenario to occur.
Please confirm that the following deal is acceptable and we will move this to a formal arrangement, provisionally entitled 'The Baltusia-Kalistan De-Escalation Accord'.
Article I- De-Escalation
Baltusia should demobilise its armed forces, reversing the concentration of military personnel on the border with Kalistan. In exchange, the Kalistani militias will cease conducting drills in areas within twenty kilometres of the Baltusian border for two years after this treaty is ratified.
Article II- Settling the Extradition of Karl Benn
Mr. Karl Benn, founder of the Revolutionary Anarcho-Communist Party, shall be allowed to remain in Kalistan for as long as he pleases with no effort to have him returned to Baltusia by the Baltusian government. The conditions under which Baltusia can request extradition are set forth in Article IV but these conditions do not apply to Mr. Benn until the year 4100 at the earliest.
Article III- Militias in Relation to Baltusia
Given the lack of understanding on the Baltusian side and a need for improved relations, Baltusian delegates are invited to visit the headquarters of Kalistan's two active militias in order to gain a better understanding of their operations, histories and structures. In future, militias wishing to participate in war games within one kilometre of the Baltusian border must notify the Baltusian government prior to doing so. However, the caviats to this deal are that it applies only to paramilitaries- not regular Kalistani forces- and that the Baltusian government are only notified. Specifically, it is not a request and the Baltusian government have no power to decline it.
Article IV- The Operation of the Kalistani and Baltusian Governments
Baltusia and Kalistan both agree to remain as far removed from the other's governing of their own nation as is humanly possible. Any communication relating to the other nation must be conducted in an open manner, to eliminate any clandestine dealing, similarly, any request from one government to another should be asked only once and on the Nation Page. The Head of State/Head of Government will then provide an answer to the request and that verdict is final. Where one nation disagrees with the decision made by the other, they shall have no power to challenge it.
Article V- Next Steps
The President of Baltusia, Baltusian Foreign Affairs Minister and Baltusian Defence Minister shall agree to meet with the President of Kalistan, Kalistani Premier, Kalistani Foreign Affairs Minister and Kalistani Defence Minister here in Indrala (providing our generous hosts agree) to review this legislation exactly ten years after it has been ratified. At this point, extra conditions may be proposed, articles removed or restrictions lifted.
