Greetings from Das Vanderveer Reich!
You have a nice forum here by the way, but to business: (as it must always be)
Your Majesty King Josephus has graciously allowed us to discuss the future of the Vanderveeren lands (they are provisionally Nova England's pending a vote from the MCS following them being given to Nova England as a part of dismantling the NB Empire, as I understand it) and I would like this thread to commence those discussions.
I come here on behalf of the Vanderveeren Princes, seeking to peacefully negotiate a mutually beneficial settlement of these great lands.
Yours,
Prince Michael of the Salamancan Islands, in Vanderveer.

Nice to see you in our fair lands! I personally have no problems with the land being ceded to the people of Vanderveer. Though I will press the issues upon the Witan of our nation while we proceed with the discussions right away!

Thank you, and following these discussions I hope we can become close allies. Of course I would expect these things to go through your Witan, as it is subject to approval on all sides.
Note, do not consider it a cession but giving Vanderveer a chance after a rocky start.

Ok no problem and yes I do hope diplomatic relations can come into fruition in the near future!

So, shall I PM with some form of draft treaty? Or would you prefer to open this up to the Witan first?

No a draft treaty would be great and then I can pass this on to the Witan.

NB: Please be aware, this is my first treaty  So my apologies if it's not quite worded how you'd expect it to be, or if it comes across all wrong, please feel free to suggest amendments to the wording. I'm easy as long as the principle of the treaty remains intact of course  A TREATY CONCERNING THE RECONSTITUTION OF VANDERVEER PREAMBLE THIS TREATY concerns the restoration of the lands known as Vlaanderen, Isla Vlaanderen and Las Islas Salamancas to the sovereign nation of Vanderveer from Nova England, the Special Administrative Region of Riponia. ARTICLE I Both nations agree to recognise the other's legitimate status. Nova England recognises The Vanderveeren Reich as an independent, sovereign and free nation composed of similarly free peoples. The Vanderveeren Reich recognises Nova England as a Special Administrative Region of Riponia composed of also free peoples, until the point when Nova England lawfully secedes from Riponia as agreed by those two nations. ARTICLE II Nova England agrees to surrender all rights of sovereignty in perpetuity in the territories aforementioned in the treaty, for the government of the Vanderveeren Reich to assume those rights in their entirety and without condition. ARTICLE III Vanderveer accepts the duties associated with the sovereignty of the aforementioned territories without condition and does not consider Nova England to be obliged to aid in their governance. SIGNATURES Michael, Prince Regent Of Vanderveer
