Line 4:
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 [[Drakaland]] and [[Sarentria]]. The [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy 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.
Line 15:
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, [[
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 [[Drakaland]] and [[Sarentria]], Woodrow Taft specifically expressed hopes for Auroran reunification in his reply to the invitation. President [[Alyona Petrovavich]] of [[Tuvaltastan]] specifically addressed the impact that the Auroran-Pacific War had on peace in the continent and invited former undersecretary of the [[Auroran Union]], [[Lara Tarasovna]] to attend, alluding to Pan-Auroran plans. In a similar vein, the Executive Cabinet of the [[Kostromastan]] Confederation and President [[Ivan Trikolovich]] of [[Tivot]] specifically addressed peace in Aurora as a motivating factor for their attendance.
Line 31:
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 Drakaland, Great Morstaybishlia and Axdel were the first support the Tuvalt proposal. The Oan Isles tacitly supported but was emphatic about the misgivings it had about the union. Woodrow Taft decried the Oan Isles for insisting on reparations and for sowing mistrust. Furthermore, he criticized the fact that the Oan Isles wanted to impose conditions that would infringe on the sovereignty of the Ethalrian nations.
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 [[
===Deciding on a seat===
The Oan Isles proposed moving the [[Auroran Central Bank]] back to [[Sani Bursil]] and basing the UNAC in that city, the establishment of a continental court, a council consisting of equal representatives from member states and a Secretary General who was in charge of the day to day issues of the new union. Woodrow Taft supported keeping the Bank in [[Tarov]], [[Tivot]] or moving it to Aura but was adamant it should not move to Sani Bursil. He cited financial costs and a lack of necessity. Polly Newman of [[Axdel]] agreed with Taft. Prime Minister [[Walter Johannes]] sided with the Oan Isles on having some institutions in Sani Bursil but was willing to compromise on moving the bank and making Sani Bursil the main centre of operations.
Line 39:
A spitting match ensued between Taft and Le Roy blaming each other for the APW.
===Determining the structure===
Le Roy eventually conceded and the discussions moved on. Le Roy and Taft both proposed drafts for the UNAC Charter. Taft proposed the Auroran Continental Defence Council to oversee the UNAC Battlegrouos which consisted of military units from member states as well as for a powerful Secretary General.[[Walter Johannes]] of Great Morstaybishlia objected to a military alliance in the Taft proposal. Le Roy objected to the excessive power of the Secretary General in the Taft proposal. Johannes remained emphatic that UNAC should not have a military. Taft proposed an opt-out for the military
