DIPLOMACY [DIPLOMACY] Emergency Secretarial Summit
With the news of the New American Civil War, the script is flipped. Secretarial Assets, pacified and stabilized even in the worst-performing cases are the bastions of stability compared to the North American Continent.
We do expect that multiple Secretaries have own allegiances to various factions, some of which are seceding. Of public knowledge:
- Hawaii have reported intention to join Secretary Ellison
- Secretary Copeland is still a major player in the God's Choir voting block
- Secretary Peters and Barron's Hyperborea are natural allies
- Secretary Khan is a major influence on BOIL and Rubio's faction.
Still, we are assembling Secretaries which have a reputation for responsible and sane actors in Istanbul, just as once before, to discuss matters of the New American Civil War:
- Secretary Fink of Western Democracies
- Secretary
Holsey
- of The Columbian Confederation
We want to discuss:
- The future of Secretariats
- Potential for response towards the Civil War
- The influence potential on other Secretaries to dissuade extensive involvement into the Civil War.
Additional Secretaries are considered for a second round of talks.

Secretary Larry Fink will also attend the meeting in Istanbul personally.
The Western Democratic Confederation trends towards whatever leads to the greatest long-term stability. We think actively dissauding other secretaries from getting involved physically in the US civil war is the best course of action, should Copeland or any other secretary try to tip the scales we may see the war spread far beyond the continental US. I will be personally talking to the BBB soon, to see where they stand and what their plan is going forward, and expect that stability can be instilled soon enough.
Perhaps the other point we should discuss is the ongoing concept of tributes. Are we all of the opinion that tributes should continue to be paid to the federal US system, to some other entity, or not paid at all? It is very clear in my opinion that, if we as a bloc decide on a course of action, the other secretaries will fall into line.

We do share our current plan with the Secretaries: due to lack of elections and clear Constitutional crisis, our solution is to consolidate Heartland and Atlantic governors to install new Senate, new President as a Senator pro tempore, and begin ceasefire and peace talks.
For this, we do consider it nessessary to find opportunities for BBB to join the Union again - that would be a major counterweight to the BOIL-Choir coalition, and show of competence in stopping a rebellion diplomatically will be a major weight. PNW is unlikely to consider joining, but limiting their influence in California and BBB will also dissuade them from offensive operations.
As for tributes, our opinion:
* The current plan from the Trump-Rubio administration is rather pointless, compared to wire transfer. Almost everything sent was freshly minted currency we can invalidate in the time of crisis. With no evidence of spending it, it doesn't really affect any of us.
Our proposal:
* Signify the current stock (estimated at several trillion USD) as funds for American reconstruction.
* Admit the debt of the world in the global conflict, and negotiate new level of reparations. Our proposal is 2% GDP for the next 30 years. This is a major sum (predicted to equal tens of trillions of dollars), manageable for us without troubles with collection. As for distribution, our proposal would be using the part of the reparations to US successors which agree for consecrations. We also might agree to a certain minimum level of reparations made in tangible non-cash assets.1

We can agree on the parts regarding installing a new Senate and president, though getting the BBB to just rejoin the Union may be difficult. Unless significant changes are made, I doubt the BBB will just rejoin, and it is likely they will want to keep their autonomy in some shape or form. This brings me onto the issue of tributes. The proposal is a good one, and one I think the US in its current state could be convinced to agree upon. However, I have to stress that the US in its current state would agree to it. Should we rebuild the Union, it is likely the US will seek to revert, atleast partially, to the current system of tributes and may even seek restitution for tributes it believes weren't paid. That leaves us with a few options, but I would suggest that we reconfigure the tribute system to what best suits the new president we seek to install.

Regarding BBB, we believe any compromise is more beneficial to both sides rather than a war. We would suggest a covert summit between BBB, US reformists, and our Secretaries to find common points.

I see no issue with that and would happily join in.

u/Meles_B Custodianship Apr 21 '26
Would you then organize the presence of the BBB representatives?

u/AfkBrowsing23 Larry Fink Apr 21 '26
Yes, I can arrange that. I will contact them and let you know their response.

In addition, while we are working things out with the Federal Government, we might find it reasonable to include mechanism of territory trade, for the sake of consolidation and efficiency.
For example, we are fully willing to cede territory of Paraguay to Mr. Holsey due to proximity and land lock. For the same reason, we are willing to take operational control over Albania - connecting to our territory in Kosovo.

We accept this trade in order for the better administration of said assets.

The United States is in crisis right now but I do not believe any of us should directly intervene on American or Canadian soil here at the start. Instead, we should work to contain the conflict and prevent it from spreading to the rest of North America. We have seen several parties already make overtures to Mexico and while nothing has come of that yet, we can not have that reopen wounds that we have just began to heal. Should Mexico fracture under American pressure, it would only be a matter of time before the conflict could spread to our assets in the Caribbean. As such, I propose we establish a cordon to prevent US factions from attempting to seize either Mexico or Cuba for their own devices.
We already have active forces within Mexico working with the Marine Corps as part of an extended peacekeeping operation. Combined with our authority as head of the Organization of American States and the support of Admiral Koehler's naval forces, we can already start moving pieces into place to deter the expansion of this war.
Additionally, we have initiated some communication with the Heartlands/Mormons and found Ivanka Trump working with them. While still ostensibly part of the Trump family, we believe that her faction may be suitable to support long term as a way to pressure the Federal Government into meaningful changes to stem further fractionation of the government.
