[size=150]ALGONQUIAN NATIONS, SÁGÍPÓNÓQS, AND SCOW CREEK ENTER HISTORICAL ALLIANCE;
"SÁG HARBOR ACCORDS" CREATES DEFENSIVE, ECONOMIC ALLIANCE[/size]
In a press statement released minutes ago, the leaders of Scow Creek and nearby First Nations have announced a new defensive alliance and expanded trade pacts that signal a significant strengthening of the overall region. As part of the Accords, the Ságípónóq Nation will enter into the Federation of Algonquian Nations, increasing the size of that Federation tenfold, and the Kingdom of Scow Creek will enjoy major trade access to food and fiber in return for an expanded defensive Coast Guard presence throughout the area. The details of the Accords follow:
On this Third day of September (SC) and Twenty-Fourth Day of the Green Corn Moon (AN), we, the signatories, acting as legal representatives of the Ságípónóq Nation, the Federation of Algonquian Nations, and the Kingdom of Scow Creek, hereby agree to the following principles and actions, and bind our people in alliance to one another:
Acknowledging:
That destructive and illegal activities undertaken by foreign criminal elements continue to harass and plague the coastlands, and have reached critical proportions along the Ságípónóq shores, endangering the lives, property, and lands and waters of her People;
That food and textile shortages in Scow Creek and stagnant markets for Ságíponóq products present an opportunity for mutually advantageous economic development through increased market access;
That our nations share a common ethos, and that which separates us ought to be minimized in order that all may advance in accordance with our unique cultural strengths; and
That the unique strengths of each of our nations can be used to assist others without diminishing their domestic vitality;
We, the signatories, hereby agree to the following geopolitical, defensive, and economic provisions to strengthen ourselves and each other:
Geopolitical:
The Ságípónóq Nation hereby requests admission as an equal partner in the Federation of Algonquian Nations, and the Áquínóq, Nárígánsóq, and Šíníqóq Nations readily embrace and endorse that admission effectively immediately;
The Ságípónóq Nation immediately discontinues all occupation and claims to the disputed lands known as the Šíníqóq Hills, North Sea, and Halsey Neck, and cedes them to the authority of the Šíníqóq People; and
The Port of Ság Harbor shall be henceforth established as the Capital of the Federation of Algonquian Nations.
Defensive:
The Alliance previously existing between the Šíníqóq Nation and the Kingdom of Scow Creek, established for the mutual protection of Lands, Waters, and Peoples, shall henceforth be deemed to exist between the entire Federation of Algonquian Nations and the Kingdom of Scow Creek;
The Kingdom of Scow Creek is requested by the Algonquian Federation to establish a defensive Coast Guard presence along the coastline of the Ságípónóq Nation for mutual protection of the Nations; and
To carry out the above, the Kingdom of Scow Creek shall, with the approval of the Ságípónóq Tribal Council, establish and maintain a defensive Coast Guard Base in the Port of Ság Harbor, which property shall be the Sovereign Soil of the Kingdom of Scow Creek.
Economic:
The Algonquian Federation and the Kingdom of Scow Creek hereby award each other Most Favored Nation Trading status; and, after meeting the market needs of the residents of the Algonquian Nations, the Ságípónóq Nation shall guarantee first right of refusal to the Kingdom of Scow Creek for bulk purchase of the following products: flax, hemp, wool, potatoes, brassicas, poultry, hops, and grains;
The Ságípónóq Nation further embraces and approves of a joint venture between its Tribal Government and private investors from the Kingdom of Scow Creek to establish fiber-to-textile mill operations in the Port of Ság Harbor; and
The residents of the Algonquian Nations shall all henceforth enjoy open admission and in-Kingdom tuition privileges at the Dóqléft Technical School in the Kingdom of Scow Creek.
Together we join hands in all these provisions, towards the goals of greater economic and physical security for our Nations.
