The original name was worse. You have no idea how hard it was to get that changed and find a new one.

Additionally, an amendment has been agreed to by the cabinet and other signatories to remove the second use of the phrase "region building" from Article 1.2.b.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

May I ask what the alternatives were? And, may I suggest the Defender Community as an alternative? Tounge

I believe the initial pick was "Sovereignty Coalition", but was too similar to "Sovereign Confederation", or whatever it was, which was why we stuck with "Partnership for Sovereignty". If I had it my way, it would be "the Coalition of Upholding Peak Sovereignty" or "CoUPS" for short, but we don't live in a perfect world...

I believe it was decided not to brand this as something purely "defender", since regions that the bloc could potentially expand into do not necessarily need to be defender. They just need to be willing to cooperate with us and agree with the principles laid out in article 1.

Not sure if that made sense. I apparently have a habit of saying things that make sense only in my head.

I don't think it's "bullying" to suggest that the voting ratio for an organisation such as this should reflect the relative size of the regions involved. At the very least something like qualified majority voting should be considered.

1.1.C has been amended. This is the final amendment. I move for a vote.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

I believe that since you have just amended this, we will have to wait 5 days until we can bring this to a vote. Unless you waive the mandatory debate period, of course.
