The Auroran Reunification Summit took place against the backdrop of the effects of the [[Auroran-Pacific War]] and must thus be looked at as the culmination of the hostilities that that war created between the former Bursil Alliance and former Ribenstadt Pact nations.
The war had ended on an Allied victory. The [[Ethalria (Republic)|Republic of Ethalria]] was partitioned into [[
However, the Bursil Alliance nations were not united on the terms of the victory. [[The Oan Isles]] was disgruntled that the Ribenstadt Pact nations had not been forced to pay reparations and that Sarentria had not been given to the Oan Isles. Furthermore, the Oans were irritated by the fact that the configuration of the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]] remained unchanged, leaving them without much influence over the new continental order despite expending blood and treasure to become a more influential state. Thus, the Oan Isles went on a campaign to convince the former allies that the ACA was not capable of preventing future conflicts and a new organization had to be established to strengthen ties among former Bursil Alliance nations and resist the encroachment of former Ribenstadt Pact nations.

On 21 November 2017, President Nimona Poole of Emberwood Coast issued an open invitation to leaders and representatives from the nations of the [[Urth]] to discuss de militarisation and disarmament. This conference was aimed at soothing the tensions had had arisen from the [[Auroran-Pacific War]] and putting in place safeguards to prevent conflicts of this scale from arising ever again.
Representatives from outside [[Aurora]] attended the bigger [[International Conference of Demilitarisation and Disarmament]] namely, [[Nacata]], [[Atlaesia]], [[Kuthernburg]], [[Tretrid]], Free Syllvin, Setzna, [[South Hills|United Confederation of Concordian States]], Ivlya, [[Cerdani Democratic Republic]], [[Lokania]], [[Ziseshouwei]], Verdrassil, [[Furnifold]], [[Peregrinia]], [[Asendavia]], [[Vekaiyu]], and Yuno. Initially the following Auroran countries attended the greater conference: [[The Oan Isles]], [[Axdel]], [[Great Morstaybishlia]], [[Kostromastan]], [[Dragonia]], Oceansend, [[Vothetria]], [[
However, there was evidence that the Auroran nations wanted to use the Conference to hash out differences or to assert their dominance or moral authority over the opposing side. For example, the President of the Transitional Authority of [[
In step with his colleagues, President [[Leon Jolva]] of [[Axdel]] spoke to the importance of peace on Aurora (first) as well as the rest of the world. In contrast, the reply from then [[Foreign relations of the Oan Isles |Minister of Foreign Affairs]], [[Locklyn Le Roy]] of [[The Oan Isles]] was outwardly hostile to the invitation of former Axis nations was explicitly stated that Oan presence was aimed at thwarting their alleged dilution of democratic and peaceful values (a thinly veiled allusion to existing Allied hostility). This shows that despite appeals to broader ideas on international demilitarisation and disarmament, an Auroran-dominated agenda was playing out and shaping the dialogue.

==Deliberations==
===Pre-discussions===
The Oan Isles recognized that the Auroran Union was falling apart. Thus, [[Locklyn Le Roy]] and Woodrow Taft held side-negotiations on ACA and AU Reunification. The Oan Isles expressed that reunification was inevitable but demanded that it be on AU (by extension, Oan) terms. Taft blamed the Bursil Alliance for the division of the ACA and the political and economic troubles that
Nimona Poole held a discussion with [[Tipene Rahua]] who was part of the Oan delegation and tried to convince him to convince Le Roy to restart negotiations with
===Reuniting the continent===
Recognizing that their position was untenable and seeking to sow goodwill with the attending nations, the Oan Isles published an announcement on 29 November 2017, stating their commitment to reunification and tempered their anti-Ribenstadt Pact rhetoric. This came as a surprise to many in attendance. The Oan Isles also released an accompanying white paper calling for special exemptions for island nations from travel and trade rules, as well as establishment of institutions that promoted justice and democracy.
President Petrovavich of Tuvaltastan started the main deliberations of the summit and proposed the dissolution of the ACA and AU and their replacement with the United Nations of the Auroran Continent or UNAC. Sarentria and
Lara Tarasovna tried to find a middle ground by validating the concerns that the Oan Isles had as well as their suggestions surrounding building trust through similar policies and ideologies. But she asserted that the end of the war had precipitated conditions where ideologies and policies among the states both Ribenstadt Pact and Bursil Alliance alike were being homogenized, neutralizing trumped up Oan complaints about fundamental and irreconcilable differences. Lord Jeymz Drachenburg of Dragonia agreed with the Oan Isles on issues raised about special exemptions for island nations around travel and trade. President [[Lupe Juentines]] of [[Vothetria]] rallied behind Lara Tarasovna and emphasized that the new Ethalrian nations were reformed and that Oan misgivings about them were greatly exaggerated. With these concerns allayed, the discussion continued centered around actually establishing the UNAC.
