CATU Offices, La Coruña -ME6

[Othniel]

Brazil, Chairmen Gomez (as in the representive):


The trading bloc of the Central Alantic Trade Union is now in session. We wish to discuss membership, prices, and distrubution of raw materials, as well as shipping practices.

Member Nations:

The Federal Republic of Brazil
The Iberic Union
Greater France
The National Republic of Zaire (note: Full membership junior status)

Partial member rights had been granted to the Lorainness Commonwealth, which now is disovled. Those rights have been revoked until our commitee can detrimine the stabillity of the individual nations.

First issue: New members?

(Note, this is a commitee that can be called into secession at anytime by full members. Food and drink are provided.)

[Othniel]

Current Projects:
Amazonia (Floating) Isle
The Grand Mexican Canal (If we are allowed to have the contract)
Calcutta/ Columbia (India Restoration plan)


I propose to let Japan be a member of CATU if they so choose. Not only does it open them up to our resouces, but it gives us a chance to trade to the Republics under their influence. Though in the Pacfic they would open us to tons of oppertunity. If they so choose Brazil would sponser their membership.

[Glen]

Although a junior member, the Republic of Zaire would also endorse the membership of Japan. Our fervent hope is that CATU can serve as a catalyst for the development of global free trade and prosperity.

[Glen]

Greater France as a full member also endorses the membership application of Japan. We would further petition that CATU admit the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

We second our neighbors, the Republic of Zaire, in their hopes to see the CATU turn into the catalyst for a global free trade system, with of course proper protocols in place to ensure clean technology and protections to workers.

As such, we would recommend shortening the time period to full membership, as well as issuing further invitations to join CATU. We respect Brazil's previously stated concerns regarding the loss of control by the founding members of CATU should we grow too rapidly. On the other hand, if we insist on new members pledging to the course we founding nations originally set, Greater France believes we will see those plans, and all our nations, benefit.

*The Guisean Commonwealth was dissolved long ago, during Queen Cloe's reign, when the West Indies and Gran Columbia were about to go to war. The only other members were the Kingdom of Lorraine, the Union of Acadia, the Federation of the West Indies, the *former* Commonwealth of Indonesia, and the Grand Principality of Latvistonia, where a Lorrainese duke was placed as Grand Prince without power long ago in April (ME6 Time)....I dont know what developed that.

**The UCCR wants the member nations to discuss their membership, not holding actions taken by the forer officials of the former regime, which are now leaders of the Restoration-Royal Party. All former officials were removed, and have been replaced by modern officials, loyal to the cause of the Union of Capitalist Catholic Republics.

***I doubt you would accept the Union of Acadia, as it was recently discovered they have been, and still are practicing their own form of Apartheid.

****The Federation of the West Indies (Royalist) was dissolved during my long absence. Cuba, and the Bahamas voted to join the Union of Acadia, while the rest of the islands formed the Constitutional Republic of the West Indies, which is an ok military dictatorship.

The Empire of Japan is honored to be mentioned as a possible candidate for admission into the CATU. As such, we will be happy to enter into this economic alliance if accepted. We consider the Far East with the dissappearance of both the Indonesian and Indian nations is ripe for economic oportunities for all nations bold enough to try to do so. We consider the French as friends and while our dealings with the other members has been limited so far, we also have been friendly with all of them and hope to continue this working relation in the future thru this alliance.

[Othniel]

The Brazillian chair moves for a vote concerning the membership of Japan, to become a full and junior memeber of this council with two nominations brought to the floor. (Three levels of particpation; full, partial, and observer, along with three varations of membership: (founding [Brazil][Iberia][France], Senior [three years expirence], and Junior))

As for the United Kingdom, they are a powerful prestigous nation. (not saying that any of us aren't but look at the tract record...) In our time they fought and won two world wars, now they also control South Yorkshire and Ireland directly. Brazil would like to have an odd number of members thus we believe that Greece has much to offer to this union. Brazil has been looking into their economics for a long time, and has found their nation to opperate much like Brazil. We wish to extend an invitiation for them into CATU. We seek like minded nations as to minimize squables amongst ourselves.

Any other nominations for membership before we move to close the floor for nominations?

This required an upgrade of the Iberian network with French technology but would be much cheaper than the Med project.

Finally an Ibero-French-Brazilian consortium would be created to build a series of floating Islands along the Brazilian and West African coastline.

They would allow relocating some of the population displaced by the Event (each island would be able to lodge 50,000 inhabitants) while producing clean energy for surrounding areas and would have fish farms as to feed a much greater population. One of them placed in one undetermined place, which would be probably in the mouth of the Amazon, would hold the HQ for the Central Atlantic Trade Union that would be formed by France, Iberia and Brazil.

The Republic of Mozambique that was independent although associate to the Iberic Union, also claims for membership.

The Iberic Union approves the inclusion of new members as long as they accomplish with internal democracy criteria and are willing to participate in a free trade area.

Concerning the projects we think that the CATU should present a proposal for the mexican channel. We have the technology and the capabilities to build it.

The Republic of Zaire also wishes for the Republic of Mozambique to be counted as a member of CATU.

Greater France also supports their inclusion. The question is whether, given their relation to the Iberic Union, is whether they would be part of the Iberic Union's membership or an independently voting entity?

[Glen]

I believe the United States of America, Germany, and Poland have expressed interest in joining CATU as well. I believe we should discuss the prospective members in whole. BTW, does anyone know if the Greek Republic is interested in joining CATU?

They have the same currency, so I suppose they could be one unique delegation.

Prehaps they could work as a full member (in rights) but as a partial or observor member in consul? A nonvoting delgation prehaps would be most apporate. Soomeone to speak and say their intrests, but doesn't have any power (enabled to the full rights of membership just the same) Brazil would support this.

The Iberic Union would agree to this solution as well.

[Othniel]

Next Topic for discussion is open.

[Othniel]

I believe that each nation we have named open for membership should give a speach as why they believe their acceptance into our organization would help both their economy and ours.

[Othniel]

On this day, Janurary 15th 2015, we call CATU council to assembly.

The Federal Republic of Brazil calls back together this meeting to assest the projects put out by the council, as well as the effectness of CATU. All members here may bring issues to the table which they feel are important.

[Glen]

What the hey?

[Othniel]

I see the representive from the Republic of Zaire would like to sya something, go ahead good sir, you have the floor.
