The Introduction
The Global Assembly has recently held it's second convention, where a litany of states attended to spectate and participate in the largest political conference of the year. We would like to thank the Principality of Curon, and the local administration of Cyrilsburg, for providing us with a venue for this occasion. They have been of tremendous help. With the additions of Dunshire, Renatus-Marna, and Rivia to the Global Assembly's ranks, it is now safe to say that the Global Assembly represents the majority of Atlas' populous. From this date onward, the Global Assembly shall mark the beginning of a new era in the history of world -- the 1650's shall symbolize the foundation for a progressively bold generation, where political communication, debate, and proper evaluation of the geopolitical climate is valued above all else. With an estimated 42 delegates in attendance, we are honored to have become such an esteemed political establishment.

 

Without further ado, here is a map of those nations which attended the second convention;

 

(Note; The Kingdom of Adylith and Princedom of Fenn also sent representatives to spectate the convention, but did not sign onto the Global Assembly's charter, and as thus, did not participate in discussions.)

 

Convention Summary

The following are brief summaries of major events which occurred at the Convention, with a bulleted list including all notable portions of the Convention. A full transcript is available to read. ((Shoutout to @ReddWhite for making this awesome doc.))

 

• Ser Sylvester Halcourt of Curon gave his opening statement, on behalf of Curon, which welcomed all delegates to a hall of peaceful negotiations. It was then followed by an accusatory statement, condemning the Crown of Renatus-Marna, labeling them as "terrorists."
• The General Chamber then disburses, as delegates individually discuss alliances, treaties, and declarations of war among eachother.
• After ten minutes, the convention resumes, where all delegates then declare their factional alliances.
• The primarily human nations of Haense, Renatus-Marna, Curon, and Rivia all opposed to declare their political alignment, as they believed it would only contribute further to factional, divisive politics.
• Dunshire was demonized by Krugmar and Kaz'ulrah, with them both declaring Dunshire as an "agitator." Kaz'ulrah later retracted the comments after the convention.
• Krugmar also officially labeled the Dominion of Malin and the Druidic Order as enemies of the state.
• The Krugmar delegation gives a speech, demonizing all Elves, stating that they shall all be "burnt to ash," whilst declaring all voidal magic and Aspectism outlawed in Krugmar.
• The Kronheim delegation gives a speech, reminding all that they are a peaceful nation, with a recently revamped educational program.
• The Hansetic delegation gives a speech, declaring a "WAR ON BANDITRY," promising to combat all banditry, which has recently harmed Hansetians and Curonians alike.
• The Kadarsi delegation gives a speech, declaring it's support for the "War on Banditry," adding that all terrorism committed in the name of the Qualasheen faith is to be severely punished.
• An uninvited individual from the Southron Confederacy speaks out of turn, declaring that a "War on Banditry" will lead to increased sword control. He is then escorted from the room by GA sentries.
• The Chair then asks for donations towards the Global Treasury, and raises a total of 3,859.2 mina in one night!

Curon's Opening Address from Chancellor Sylvester Halcourt

 

“Welcome, esteemed and honored friends, to the Principality of Curon and, more specifically, Cyrilsburg. We convene today to address issues which are of a global nature - those plagues and cancers which hurt all mankind, and the other descendents as well. It is the goal of such supranational organizations as this to promote peace and tranquility among the nations. Out of a respect for neutrality and hope for peace, we have offered the Global Assembly this hall, and host its second convention. We pray that God grant us guidance in these trying times, and deliver us all into a new golden era, but this era cannot dawn as long as petty, factionalist, meaningless wars plague us. Let today be the day that mindless warfare comes to an end, and mankind may rekindle its former glory. I publicly urge the Crown of Renatus-Marna to put an end to the terrorism it incurs upon other nation states, and to abandon such false claims to the title King of Ruska. That is all. May GOD bless us all.”

Krugmar's Speech from Ambassador Tajo'lur

 

“I will declare all elves inferior in both culture and race, they shall all perish in death camps constructed by Krugmar after their forest is cut to the ground and burned to ash. Along these lines the disgusting use of voidal magic and druidism is forbidden in any land on or surrounding Atlas, and any users will be killed on sight by the uruks uf Krugmar. Praise the spirits! Kill the elves! Though all Suticans are free from this persecution. The Suticans are nice to us."

Kronheim's Speech from Consul Dorin Irongut

 

“I would just like to say, as we have mentioned, we give friendship to all who would be peaceful with us. That being said, to those who are peaceful, we have much to offer. Our walls are strong, our food good, and our ale great! We also, as mentioned, offer an Academy of all sorts to anyone who would come. It's just great. It really is. That'd be all."

Haense's Speech from Palatine Robert Sigismund

 

“Mister Chairman, Secretaries of the Assembly and my honorable representatives of the nations of Atlas, I bring a concern that we as leaders must address and that is the issue of banditry along our roads that threaten travel and safety. The Dual Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska can not stand for such blatant acts of banditry against the good nations and denizens of Atlas, and will take a stand against it. We cannot make any discrimination against states who harbor such terrorism or bandits who propagate it. To any who would condone violence, we direct our next words: All banditry and terror constitute an axis of evil, threatening to derail the peace and stability of humanity with your perpetual desire for unwarranted aggression. Your actions offend the sovereignty of nations at the cost of lives and the well-being of the great citizens of the nations we represent, respectively. I trust that we make this a priority for the safe travel of our citizens, merchants, and children."

Kadarsi's Speech from Saeed Ibn Malek

“Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, with this I begin say bismillah, my fellow ambassadors of the United Nations Of Atlas. I come here as [The Tribe of Kadarsi]. Today, we bring before you a matter that we wish to help all nations, groups, races and identities. We have all heard claims and actions of terrorists who try to use the Imam Rashidun name and GOD’s name to do actions to harm people. We wish to help destroy any terrorist organisation, and help any nation combat these acts. We wish to meet you great ambassadors, and nation leaders, and help us help you, to prevent such actions. We have proof within our holy books that has come before these actions already saying on how we are not allowed to do such. I suggest that together we may write a document, or somehow get these facts that doing these actions are forbidden in our faith, to help show and teach people that doing these actions, is wrong. No innocent person should suffer, because we, as governments and leadership, did not try to bring forth the facts and teach that these actions are wrong! No matter your faith, your race, or what you believe in, I am sure we can all agree that murdering innocent people, and attacking governments, and soldiers and these terrorist acts are wrong. We have a duty as people to stand up and fight these crimes and actions! I come before you, as the Grand Imam of Imam Rashidun, to help teach that these actions are wrong, and go against our faith. I pray that together we may fix this problem, Inshallah, I would give you chapters of our holy book already condemning these actions, I have already made a document public, condemning the actions, but I fear I don't have much time to speak, but thank you for your time, great leaders of Atlas. I pray that all of us may have peace, and respect."

 

Treasury Funding

We're proud to say that, after our second convention, we have raised a total of 3,859.2 mina from member states! These donations shall be used for staffing paychecks, assembly upkeep, and shall be publicly available for Global Assembly use, should the nations of Atlas vote on a measure which requires funding. We encourage more nations to contribute to this pool, if at all possible!

Upcoming Events

- The Third Convention, to be held in about two Saint's Weeks. The primary focus shall revolve around international law, and passing international legislation.

- The Otto Border Dispute, declaring a resolution to the long-standing feud between Haense and Tal'Azwyr, a Dwarven vassal. A private meeting shall be held to decipher the outcome.

- Militaristic conversations between Krugmar and the Dominion of Malin are to be planned. A private meeting shall be held to decipher the outcome.

- The Estermont Free Trade Agreement, which will be a very short economic conference to discuss international imports, specifically weapons sales.

 

Final Word

The Global Assembly, with it's recent success, would like to thank all participants. Truly, this shall be a new way forward for the nations of Atlas.

Madeline Applefoot the halfling is still shocked that people have called Dunshire an agitator

 

 

"T'is realleh does ruffle me feathahs if I 'ad aneh!" she'd comment "Wha' did we do wrong?"

[ibraheemc2000 2965]

Ibraheem aladeen nods as he reads the paper drinking some qalasheen coffee "good read."

[Guest]

Aldyth var Burgundar would sit at the kitchen table,as she reads over the paper "hmm this should be interesting" 

[Vilebranch 410]

Daqr al-Amun reads over the document as he sits at a local tavern. He carves a coin into the wooden table with an elaborately decorated dagger, giving a scowl. "'War on Banditry' my ass. Haense will get what comes around. Sooner or later, they'll be paying us in full."

[Trenchist 864]

A young raevir scratches his head, not knowing more than half the nations in Atlas

[drfate786 1690]

The hooded entity finished reading the publication, the candle-light flickered for a moment before he resumed his pondering at the thought of such a convention taking place.

 

"They will learn soon enough, nothing can stop the inevitable. The more they struggle to find peace, the more they deliver their people into our hands."

 

The figure stooped about, finally coming to his full height. He stood over his desk for a moment before turning towards the exit.
