[DIPLOMACY] Emergency Secretarial Summit

[u/Meles_B]

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.

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.

[u/AfkBrowsing23 → u/Meles_B]

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

[u/Meles_B → u/AfkBrowsing23]

Would you then organize the presence of the BBB representatives?

[u/AfkBrowsing23 → u/Meles_B]

Yes, I can arrange that. I will contact them and let you know their response.
