The (TFCCD); is also known as the Ask and Embla Treaty (Askochemblasavtalet) and the Hertha Accord as marketed to the public by the leaders of the respective nations of the TFCCD, is the premier democratic alliance in Europe. Today the alliance is referred to as the Karlskrona Accord, the location where the last signatures were written by the Republic of Frescania and Kingdom of Suionia.

Beginning as a two nation Treaty, between the Republic of Frescania and the Kingdom of Suionia, the Treaty may be expanded to our democratic nations via invitation and/or application. The application process possesses a unique 24 Chapter admission system that determines if said candidate is approved by the membership of the TFCCD.

Current Signatories:
  1. Kingdom of Suionia (Signed: June 25th, 2010; Ratified June 26th, 2010)
  2. Republic of Frescania (Signed: June 25th, 2010; Ratified June 27th, 2010)
Current Invitations:
N/A​
Current Applications:
  1. Skånskige Statsunionen, applied June 28th, 2010 (Admissions Progress: 0 Chapters Made; 0 Chapters Approved)

OOC {
When applying you will need to create 24 Chapters that define the status of your nation in the specific subject. Chapters can be made via this thread or your National News reports, and should contain at least a paragraph about the status of the Chapter in your nation. Then a Chapter has been "created." We'll be keeping tabs on our applicants and their news stories and update your admissions status as this occurs. Therefore the Admissions process can take anywhere from one week to several months depending on how quickly you role-play the creation of all your chapters. A list of the required chapters can be found in the Charter Document.

Keep in mind, that if a chapter is deemed "un-satisfactory" you'll be expected to RP improvements, and as we all know countries do not change their societies and economies in a matter of days. Good luck! The obvious goal in this process is to make sure your nation matches up with the expectations of the alliance, while at the same time making sure that you, the player, have developed a solid national idea and are also sufficiently active enough for us to want you to join our alliance. Thanks!

Mr. Ricardo Marquez,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
Forteleza Real, Frescania

Sir,
The Kingdom of Suionia has placed into position Suionia's Second Fleet near the edge of the Bay of Nariño. Military Intelligence and Security Service, Militära underrättelse- och säkerhetstjänsten (MUST), has noticed that there would appear to be an inevitable threat of blockade runners in the form of a foreign naval force. It is the question of my Government as to the response of the Frescanian Government.

Our treaty would require us to come to your aid, much as to the reason as to why the Second Fleet is in position to begin with. Prime Minister Lundqvist would like to express her sincere desire to remain outside of the immediate war and does congratulate your government on finding compromise with Kingdom of Breotonia.

Despite previous success, your own government has released a list of questionable governments and their own military forces which may harbor a possible desire to expand the conflict. The Prime Minister would like to ask Chancellor Carmelas what as to his direct plans are in response to such a problem. Miss Lundqvist, while supportive of Chancellor Carmelas has not entirely adjusted to the change from Former-Chancellor Martinez who was clearly less confrontational in his foreign policy.

She would also like to add that she has no intention of abandoning this project nor walking away from Suionia's military obligations. Prime Minister Lundqvist is merely skeptical of the current readiness of the situation and the apparent high chance of high stakes war with a variety of nations, notably some who share maritime borders with our Kingdom.

Malin Enstrom,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Drottninggarden, Suionia.

Madame Minister,

The President has told me that we are to stop any suspicious nation, that through intelligence we acquire, is on their way to escalate the conflict between Belmont and Coronado. We have a number of nations we will keep and eye on, and this list has been delivered to your ambassador here in Fortaleza Real. Our Fleet will keep in contact with your vessels regarding any actions we take.

Prime Minister Lundqvist can rest assure that we here also do not want conflict, and President Gutierrez, together with Chancellor Carmelas are working hard to maintain the Republic out of situation. We are graceful that we can count in your nation for assistance, and be assured that in any of your future endeavor, we will support you.

Chancellor Carmelas is working from intelligence gathered in the last few months of the Martinez Government. Rest assure that had this occurred under the Former Chancellor, he would have taken similar actions. Furthermore, it is the President, not the Chancellor, who commands the armed forces. Having said this, President Gutierrez, which has been in office since Mr. Martinez Government, has been receiving intelligence regarding the said nations. Our intelligence focuses on these nations due to their current or former ties with both Belmont and Coronado.

We hope that conflict does not erupt and that the rest of Europe is capable of understanding our actions, and we are once again thankful that Suionia has decided to join the Republic.

Sincerely;

Ricardo Martinez;
Secretary of Foreign Affairs

Attached is a message sent by KBR to our 1st Fleet:

Naval Communication Service
Encryption Code: Red
Classification: Secret
Public Key: file/flip_and_sizzle/

121315Z DEC 2010
From: HIGHCOM/NAVCOM
To: Ministry of Defense – Frescania
Subject: Franconian Fleet

The Office of Naval Intelligence is not satisfied with the intelligence we have been provided with. There remains no conclusive proof that Franconian intentions are anything other than those stated by the RPI that the movements are a reinforcement meant for the securing of Lorrainese waters. The Frescanian Navy is advised to abstain from interference with Franconian vessels until such evidence has been presented. It is the opinion of the PRIME MINISTER, the DEFENSE COUNCIL, the DEFENSE STAFF, and HIGHCOM that conditions of our agreement have not been satisfied. We will be legally obligated, should the Nürnberg request our assistance, to aid the Franconian battle group in the event that your naval or air forces attempt to detain it. Please reconsider your current course of action.

Mr. Ricardo Marquez,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs,

Sir,
The Kingdom of Suionia believes it as now clear that the Breotonian interests serve only to hamper Karlskrona Accord operations in the region. The message they send turns a clear blind eye towards obvious Franconian intentions. Intelligence collected by MUST suggest no threat to the Lorrainese, nor any level of threat that would require such a massive presence in Lorrainese waters. Franconian movement is either war posturing, disruptive to Karlskrona Accord efforts or a step to expand the Belmontien-Coronadan War. None of these scenarios serve a purpose that is positive to the region. As a result, MUST has concluded that the Breotonians are deliberately ignoring Franconian threats and as a result EDF threats. This is worrisome to our relations with the Kingdom of Breotonia as they clearly are not only entirely self-serving but they are now using their presence to advance EDF possible war efforts.

Drottninggården will contact Lunden immediately for explanation. Should they continue to be disruptive they are no longer upholding their end of the bargain and should be removed from the current agreed upon contract in the Bay of Nariño and Long Seas.

Madame,

We thank you for the support given to us on these troublesome times. We are trying our best to redirect Breotonian policy from the EDF, but it seem this will not be as easy. We will keep you inform of any information we acquire.

Sincerely;

Ricardo Marquez,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs

Mr. Ricardo Marquez,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
Forteleza Real, Frescania

Sir,
The Kingdom of Suionia has noted the declaration of war by the Carentanian state and figures that this may force the hand of the other socialist states of Vangala and Kryobaijan. With this news it makes it highly unlikely we're able to control the expansion of the war without literally coming to the aid of Belmont or be seen as coming to the aid of Belmont.

While the Kingdom of Suionia in relations terms, supports the Kingdom of Belmont, evidence provided by the Belmontiens and the general lack of consultation leads the Suionian Government to feel un-obligated to aid the Belmontien people, despite solid evidence pointing to a possible massive defeat for the Belmontiens should the European Defense Federation decide to actually respond as intelligence has seemed to indicate via their naval movements tracked by satellite. It is our opinion that without the direct support of the Breotonians our efforts while noble, will be unable to handle the force projected by both the EDF and the Socialists against us. Our diplomats in Lunden have suggested that the Breotonians are spineless and will refuse to fight for anything that doesn't expand their coffers. As a result we're in a cumbersome position, as it would seem that only the Sarmatians will rush to Belmont's aid should anything happen. If the EDF continues as planned, we risk running ourselves into a second Great War.

Prime Minister Lundqvist has asked for me to prepare a worst case scenario with you in order for us to be prepared for this very event. As of current, Suionia's Royal Navy is not in the best position to defend an assault upon our mainland. Our 2nd Fleet was rushed to your aid and our 3rd and 1st fleets are in position to defend Suionian holdings abroad. The 3rd fleet as you know is notorious for defending the waters against piracy in the southwest and is a fleet we do not feel comfortable moving without a considerable threat to Suionian and international commerce.

As a result Suionia's navy will be easily stretched and we've made the effort to bring the 1st fleet back to Drottninggården in the event of an EDF attack. This leaves Fjalladrottning in an open position with only the local coast guard and 2nd Army alongside air forces to defend it. If anything, with this difficult situation, our Government fears more than any other, the betrayal of the Oikawans whose lust for new lands has never really ceased.

Due to this obvious problem, we need to prepare ourselves. Our military is now on its highest alert. Something that has never happened since our Kingdom was still part of Arendaal during the Great War.

Prime Minister Lundqvist asks what our next move should be since it is clear we will not have the support of Lunden, and the war is going to expand despite our best efforts.

Sir,
The Kingdom of Suionia regrets that our operations have been unsuccessful to the extent that the international community has made it impossible to contain the conflict. As a result, Suionian naval forces are returning home immediately. We feel that Suionia has no role to play any further in the Belmontien-Coronadan conflict and shall embark on a path of neutrality in that conflict unless Forteleza Real has more plans on their agenda in regards to action in this conflict.

CONFIDENTIAL

Given the inclusive and gender-discriminative character of the Serennierese political system, it should be obvious that the said country does not constitute a member of the democratic ranks of Europe irrespective of alliances. Accordingly, the Union advises for the rejection of the petition of membership of the Serennierrese government until such time that significant administrative reform is seen in the country.

While apologizing for this intrusion into the Karlskrona Accord's internal affairs, we feel that the matter is relevant to our interests ahead of the forthcoming Frescanian-Serbovian state visit and the discussion regarding closer cooperation between European democracies.

This thread can be deleted or locked, as the other thread is to be considered our formal "reloaded" thread. It allows me to easily edit it from this account and additionally is to start the alliance on a more fresh slate with the retconned addition of Dagomba. Our bad, for not making a new thread sooner, but we hadn't expected a membership request.
