Pax Poukai Treaty

[McChimp]

This has gone unnoticed for a while it seems. We might as well get things moving, so are there any other concerns on this?

Personally, I have a slight issue with the word "shall", albeit I will admit it's more of a personal style thing, I don't particularly think "shall" should be used in Legal Documents and there is almost always a better word. Albeit there are only four instances of the word, but still.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering.

I am in favor of this treaty, as I feel that this could be the beginning of a promising inter-regional cultural exchange, which may in time blossom into a fully fledged military coalition. I am in favor of any resolution which furthers Lazarene hegemony and influence gameside, whether through an approach of official congeniality or otherwise, insofar as such an approach is consistent with the current state of foreign relations. The South Pacific is a friendly, mighty, and democratic region, and we should only be honored to stand in solidarity against factions promoting tyranny and oppression.

Considering the widespread approval from those that have commented, I now motion this treaty to vote.

In response to Chanku's mild concern over the use of shall; I don't know that shall is the best word to be using throughout the treaty myself, but it has certainly seemed to perform its legal purpose well previously and I don't think it will create any confusion in the document. For this reason I suggest we abide with its use, and find reading for the sake of beautiful word choice somewhere other than our Assembly's legislative counter.<3
