Discussions[]
Hawaii: Discussions have begun. Japan and Bora Bora, please post your proposals to divide the Cook Islands. ~Orange
Siam: I did want to join, I just didn't have the chance to post before the turn was over. -Yellowcat5
Hawaii: Join the pact? Or attend the conferece? ~Orange
Siam: Both if possible. -Yellowcat5
Samoa (MOD): We demand Rarotonga's independence. ~Wrto12
Fiji (MOD): We demand Rarotonga's independence. ~Wrto12
Hawaii: Just a notice, the Cook Islands were never a sovereign nation. The only government it was ever under was Rarotonga, which was unified with Bora Bora years ago; correct me if I am wrong. Revision: Rarotonga willingly joined.~Orange
Bora Bora: That is correct. As for the Cook islands I propose this... ~ Kaiser
Korea: We would like to join the conference and claim a piece of the islands.
Bora Bora: With what claims?
Japan: I believe Korea does not need to have any discussion in the cook islands dispute considering it is a small dispute. I will be happy with keeping a zone for naval control so i don't have to worry about Guano exports not reaching mainland Japan and the island of Mangaia for a naval base to defend my Guano mines.
Bora Bora: So we retain control of the islands while Japan gets Guano mines, a naval base on Mangaia, and open naval borders in this area. I can agree to this.
Hawai'i: In the case that Japan and Bora Bora agree to the negotiated proposal, we can declare the dispute settled.
