Colony RP 2.0 [INVITE ONLY]

Topsail Governor Joseph Banks arrives at the summit several days late, as his hovership had engine troubles.

//I love how we all arrive to the summit late//
"This discover is shocking to say the least." Says Scientist Beyn Locke, "it is a uranium like element that emits not radiation into the environent. Although it does cause severe freezer burn when touching it, which means that it is extremely cold breaking what we thought were that laws of thermal dynamics. This is the greatest discovery since the FTL drive!" He explains to the reporter. In the backround the camera shifts to watch the cube to be removed from its podium.

"Where will you take it?" Asks the reporter.
"To the smallest bio dome as each one has its own lab inside. As for the smallest one we would rather not compromise of food is shi- I mean things go wrong. We will be giving a sample of this element to each of our current allies to aid in the research of it."

The element has been named lunonium after the pilot John Lunin.

President Alghero Sassari of Sardia walks to the podium in the US: Sardia Conference Hall, the official venue for the summit. "Nations of Artraes, welcome to the first triannual summit in Sardia! We are here today to discuss the future, and the policies our nations will take, as well as the alliances we may have.

Let me begin by stating that Sardia wishes to remain neutral in any and all future conflicts. We have ourselves a reasonable population, now 12,556, and that number will continue to increase. We will provide for our citizens by giving them a republican government, and allowing them freedoms which will most likely make us a world leader in that area. We encourage you to do the same. Develop your government, and develop your people.

The economy in Sardia is booming. The mining industry has taken off, and we will soon reach modern industrial capacities. To help facilitate trade, we have introduced our national currency - the Chunk. Its value will increase with time. We present to you an offer - to sign an international treaty making the Chunk the official world currency. As our economy will become one of the most important in the world, it makes sense that trade should be in our currency. Signers of the treaty will receive 2 million chunks each, to help build up a monetary supply of it. And while 2 million may not seem like a lot, it is a fairly generous sum given that there are only 75 million Chunks currently in circulation, though much of it is in the hands of the Sardian government to compensate for our numerous building projects. As global population continues to increase, so will the inflationary value of the Chunk, meaning that only economic growth or decline will affect the value of this currency.

And now to the most important part of the US Sardia: foreign relations, foreign policy, and humanitarian aid. I will hereby, on behalf of my people, announce that as of now, in this presidency, Sardia has no wish to expand further, and will act as a neutral nation from here on out. Our military will be almost nonexistent, but the technology and the industry will exist to defend ourselves should we be attacked. A second treaty is hereby proposed: an international Non-Aggression pact between Sardia and all other nations on Artraes.

The Sardian Disaster Relief Fund (SDRF) will provide reconstructive funding for any nations needing to rebuild after a disaster or after a war.

There has been some debate recently over where the UN should reside. Sardia has several ideas about this. Firstly, we would welcome the UN onto our soil as a permanent resting place. There has been questions over the idea of a neutral meeting place - Sardia satisfies that requirement. Unlike any other nation on Artraes, we can truly say that we will remain neutral far into the future.

While what has been discussed so far only concerns Sardia, the US: Sardia is a world conference, so we need to discuss events and changes that will affect the whole world, not just member nations. Let the themes for the rest of the conference be:

- World peace/treaties
- Alliances between nations
- Agreements to sustain smaller military budgets

*applause*

And as stated earlier, the Universal Summit in Sardia is a world summit of leaders, so I will now respectfully retire from the podium. Let the next leader take the stage!"

Proposed Treaties //post if you wish to sign any of these treaties, I will edit this post to add your nation's name//:

//If any other world leaders propose treaties, I can also add them to this spoiler tab, with signers.//

Global Currency: Chunk | Signers: Sardia
Non-Aggression Pact with Sardia | Signers: Sardia, Portum

Jem steps forward: "Sardia, i mean no disrespect, but why would all nations accept your currency, when you are simply a economy that is just beginning to flourish? Mycran trade is already, and always, flourishing, and other nations already understand the exchange rate from trading in markets. I propose that the Arre become the world wide currency."

"The peoples of Sardia and the nations of world understand that your economy is more developed than our own, and that by placing their trust in a somewhat more undeveloped economy, they are placing a risk. The factor which you are not taking into account is the stability of the Chunk in value. Because we Sardians do not share the same expansionist tendencies as your people do, the world would have greater trust in the Chunk, should you, at any time in the future, declare war on those countries.

The neutrality of Sardia and our rapidly growing economy supports the Chuck in becoming the recognized world currency. You can also be assured that as a neutral nation, our economy will go to the benefit of all nations, not just mainly our own."

"If a currency is international, and used by everyone, why does it matter who originally owned it? Our economy is already at the point that we could institute our currency now, an it would have little effect. If I am to sign this, i will require 4 million chunks, and an official renaming of the currency //I dont like the word chunk, it reminds me of puke//"

//we should have a currency that are actually individually worth something, for example copper or silver or iron or gold coins. Currency that dosent have to rely on the economy but relies on the worth of the material.//

"The original owners of the currency benefit economically, because world nations need to stock up on, and have a pool of that currency, which boosts the overall value of that economy. It would be better for the world as a whole if that currency was founded by a decisively neutral nation.

As our currency has only just now been founded, we would be willing to consider renaming it, should it go global. After careful consideration (I was originally going to refuse), we would support giving your nation 4 million Chunks in compensation. We would simply generally raise the standards such that 4 million will be handed out to each signer.

However, we must question the integrity of your economy. With a population of just nearing 15,000, the word "large" with respect to the economy is exaggerated. We question how you can claim that Mycra has a larger economy than Sardia, when both of our economies started off at nearly the same places, and both will continue to grow at nearly the same rate?"

The Sardian currency does rely on the world economy overall, but is backed up by the fact that each coin is made from an alloy that could theoretically be melted down into its respective elements: silver, nickel, and copper.

It would be easier to have one currency but you couldn't force a country to participate, and if one countries economy went down they all would. Like whats happening with the Euro.

Governor Banks refuses to sign the bill to make the chunk the international currency.

"The Topsailian has a very high off-planet conversion rate, at roughly 1 US dollar= 0.53 Topsailians. It would be a solid choice for an international currency"

The Reid bottle cap is also a very solid currency, with a rate of 1.002=1 US dollar, this is a good currency.

Governor Lincoln at this time, also refuses to sign this bill.

Klaus also denys the CHUNK being the new currency as it's Königliche Dolloar 1 US dollar= .45 Königliche Dolloar.
"Im sorry."

Thats a pretty good currency, although we should change the name, and put valuable metal into the coins to mAke them not completely rely on the economy then we would be willing to sign onto this.

//Sorry Fiji every one just turned down Fiji very quickly//

//1 Königliche Dolloar = 1.58 US Dollars. Were I landed has a lot of valuable metals//

//Groth not too be hmm bribeable but I will sign onto yours if I get some of those metals...//

//The metals are mein//

//okay, how about this. If i sign yours, and help sell it (Ive won lots of awards at MUN's for negotiating) then i get some of your metals. I will also give you lumber.//

//Valuable metals, For wood. EXCELLENT. Nope//

//haha ik i picked a terrible region. I groths, second too mine is the best.//
