Neem, Henzelli, Jon, and I: we are the remenants of the good old days of Lavalon. We are overshadowed, however, by the challenging personalities of Aryez and Brandon who would prefer that we simply become a province of Aryez or Sullifree and who really don't care about Lavalon. With these two here to stay and Nate gone and me likely also gone in about a month, I fear that Lavalon is going to die. We need to find some way to preserve ourselves, and I don't think just shooting down Brandon and Aryez is going to work.
Faronia and New Germany are two allies of Lavalon that are struggling. However, combine our resources, and Lavalon has remedied its problem with Brandon and Aryez and New Germany and Faronia will not be struggling as much. Thus, I would like to see a merger--not an annexation of any nation by another, but a MERGER, in which all the countries are equal--of Faronia, Lavalon, and New Germany. I know this is going to bring out the worst in some people, but I believe that it is the only hope for all nations involved at this point. We need to work quickly, though, if that is what we want to do. Also, please keep Aryez and Brandon from this forum until after the merger is completed...

Oh definitely. Aryez is never getting in my cabinet. I don't trust the kid at all.
I'm pretty sure that Brandon is still good friends with Xon and will continue to be influenced by him
Merger, eh? Doesn't sound like a bad idea. I want to keep on to Lavalon just so Xon isn't right about the collapse. If it weren't for my dislike of him, I might have left due to all that junk I'm supposed to be doing.
Let's see what Henzelli has to say about this

Even if Henzelli isn't okay with it, President Neem, would you be open to Faronia and Lavalon doing it without New Germany.
Actually, that would be pretty cool because I wouldn't have to leave Lavalon.

Yeah... I wish we could include Natopia in this somehow, but I'm pretty sure that Natopia wants to stay sovereign

Hmmmmmm, can Nate sit in on this discussion? Since he's head of Natopia? Natopia's been around for a while and it's pretty stable.
What kind of merger are you thinking about? Are you thinking along the lines of making a new nation, kinda like the Grand Commonwealth thing? Maybe after the backlash of the GC-controversy, maybe one nation should "officially" take on the others... but in reality all the nations will be equal. The "acquiring" nation would make concessions in their government and perhaps grant high positions to the citizens of the "acquired" nations.

Sure, Nate can definitely take part.
Also, I envision something like the Grand Commonwealth, but not really formed for military reasons (at least we don't need to disclose that it was formed as a buffer to Brandon and Aryez...I think the best thing to tell the public would just be that it's to prevent inactivity). If, however, you'd like to see a non-equal system, here's a proposal:
One nation acquires all the other nations, and we all the while form a commonwealth of sorts consisting of all the nations. The acquiring nation handles the foreign affairs of each of the commonwealth nations and all commonwealth citizens get citizenship in the acquiring nation.

i dont think i should be posting in this forum, it may arouse suspcisions that im still posting in a private lavalonian board. PHP boards are able to have invisible boards... i suggest we move to an invisible board in Faronia's forums. but, since ive already made this post, i might as well reply to this merger idea. 1. in this new merged nation (however it shapes up) will Brandon, Aryez, and Xon be included? if they will be, Natopia is out.. coz thats why i left Lavalon 2. i like your non-equal commonwealth idea. what powers will the acquired nations have? the ability to pass their own laws, keep their government, and secede? 3. what about forums? will the acquired nations shut theirs down and move to the acquirer?

Ok... we definitely need to move to an invisible forum...

I'll create an invisible forum on the Faronian boards: faronia.forumer.comYour Excellency Regent Christophe, since you aren't registered over there, I will set you up a username as you need that to access the invisible board. The username will be jchristophe and the temporary password (You can and should change it.) will be htpi123.

Okay, it's all set. President Neem, you weren't registered either, so I created an account called "Tasneem" for you. The temporary password is gglt.
I can move this thread over, and will lock this version.
