The Assembly debating the Spiritus Treaty

Recently the Foreign Ministers of the South Pacific and Spiritus submitted to their respective legislatures the draft of a treaty between the two regions. While the debate in the South Pacific is being held in a citizens-only area, meaning the Southern Journal is unable to discuss its contents, the Spiritan Regional Assembly has been debating the proposal openly.

In Spiritus the draft has received support from Founder Tim Stark and from legislators, Representative Cormac Stark has raised some issues with the wording of certain clauses. Those clauses include the mention by name of the current heads of state of both regions within the text of the treaty, a requirement that the South Pacific and Spiritus hold war games in the Warzones, a roleplay clause regulating trade between both regions, and a sunset clause that would force a review of the treaty every twelve months.

While Spiritan Foreign Minister Rogamark has defended the aforementioned clauses, the disagreement continues, pending consideration by further members of the Regional Assembly. It is presumed similar issues have been raised in the Assembly of the South Pacific.
