OOC Source: Greek GovernmentWiel: In its effort to strengthen regional and global cooperation the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the leadership of the Merlkai government, has issued a memorandum that describes its intention of reviving "active cooperation within the MEA" as well as "strengthening its role in Majatran intergration, cooperation and justice." The memorandum, signed by both the Prefect and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is seen by experts as a "love letter" to the rest of Majatra. The MEA (Majatran Economic Association) is a economic organization creating a free trade zone, MEA fund and promoting trade and economic cooperation between its member states. Since its inception by Deltaria it has been perceived by many to be the guiding factor towards the "century of peace" that Majatra has find itself under. No war or rivalry has taken place on the continent since the inception of the association and economies in the region has seen unprecedented intergration with eachother, causing growth for the majority of Majatran economies. One major part of the association its success is its widespread application, with 9 of 16 majatran nations currently a member of the association. But another part of its success has been its purely economic nature, with no real political structures in place that could potentially see rivalries form between member states.
Majatran nations have generally seen that when war would commence on the continent, the economic ramifications of the increasingly intergrated economies of the MEA would be immense, so immense that a war would not be worth it. In its memorandum the Vanukean government now emphasizes the importance of the MEA and seeks to expand its responsibilities. Minister of Foreign Affairs Bhtjar Tri layed out Vanukean ambitions with the organization but was carefull not to push for extreme political elements to be added to it. In his memorandum he called for the association to be renamed into the MA, Majatran Association, removing the "economic" in between. Furthermore he calls for the creation of a "Majatran Court of Justice" intergrated into the organization which would ascribe to certain continent wide values and have jurisdiction over human rights laws and economic freedom laws, applying their ruling over member states. Furthermore a new "Executive Office" should be created with different departments, handling different economic sectors and potentially "Majatran Cooperation", promoting it on the organizational level. Another major point in the memorandum, a freedom of movement clause, allowing citizens in member states visa and passport free travel to other member states. With the current member states in place it would mean freedom of travel from Barmenistan to Kafuristan, basically making the entire continent a free travelled area, hoping to further move together Majatran nations.
Foreign Minister Tri has handed the memorandum to the Ministry of the Economy, stating that "i relayed our points to the economic ministry and we have decided to move forward in proposing these points and plans to the other MEA member states in the next session."
If these changes occur, it would be the single biggest intergration effort of Majatran nations in centuries.
