[Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
The General Assembly will come to order.
The official headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization have never formally been prescribed by the General Assembly nor by any of the MTO Treaties.
There have been discussions in the past that seem to mention Tymaria City as its headquarters. Given that Tymaria City may have been affected many years ago by the Obedience Machine incident, I believe it's time for this body to settle the headquarters.
I suggest considering the following routes:

I suggest considering the following routes:
- Claim an independent city-state in a relatively central location in Micras to act as the official seat of the MTO, much like the Bastion Union did in Istvanistan. It would not need to be large, it would not need to ever expand - it would provide wholly neutral ground, with the territory belonging to the MTO itself.
- Commission from the USSO a ship similar to their USSO Command Enterprise to serve as a roving headquarters, circling the globe and docking every so often around the capitals of members of the organization.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
Shireroth proposes that Shirekeep to house the MTO. We are the founding state of the MTO, and we would be honoured to give it a home.
Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
Founder status aside, the historically regular descent of Shirekeep into anarchy and bloodshed renders it wholly unsuitable for unimpeded and equal access by the nations of Micras, as does its fealty to a partisan supranational alliance. In the view of Kalgachia, at least, neither the Raspur Pact nor the USSO should host the MTO headquarters (nor, it must be said, should a landlocked territory such as our own - coastal access would be preferable).
Kalgachia is equally amenable to the establishment of a headquarters within an established neutral power such as Caputia, or the independent city-state option (any MTO force providing security for the latter could be used as peacekeepers elsewhere). The maintenance costs and potential narrative incongruence of a giant floating spaceship would make that particular option unfavourable.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
I would suggest somewhere in Craitland as it exists in the sweet spot of being comparatively safe, stable, and uniquely not hated by rival coalitions. Also positioned between Benacia and Apollonia it is, in purely geopolitical terms, somewhat akin to neutral territory.
All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
I would support the establishment of an independent city-state. Perhaps we could claim the city of Brussel for this purpose, in south-central Corum.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
I must regrettably advise that my reaction to international organisations headquartered in towns named "Brussels" is invariably violent... and would therefore prefer another option. The location of the city in question is also quite a distance inland and a little bit out of the way in the midst of the green.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
The Florian Republic proposes to house the MTO in the country in the historic city of Dragonmoor.
Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
If it's decided that we should pursue a separate claim - perhaps the port of Aryapur in Benacia. It is at a central location in the Micras map, access to the sea.
Or on the yellow dot marked here, that sits right on the prime meridian:
On the second option, we could start from scratch, call it New Tymaria. I think seeking a central location is best, one where all members can easily reach via air and sea, at least. Could also serve as an international air and sea transport hub.
Many good nominations here, but I think we should consider first picking as much of a neutral place as we can, a place that does not get affected by internal or foreign politics that come with a relationship with a host country because it is sovereign.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
If we aren't going to go with Brussel then I honestly think we should consider building an MTO headquarters on Tarsica. It is pretty much the most neutral place that we are going to find. If it seems too remote, we can always create some teleportation technology or something.
Edit: I now see that you've also proposed a craft similar to the USSO Command Enterprise. We could most likely make that happen, if that's the preferred direction. If this the way we go, then we should try to ensure that all members play a part in design and construction, to the extent that they wish to contribute.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
I think, in the interests of inclusion, that building the MTO headquarters on Micras is the best option - not all nations have the ability nor the technology to afford space flight. I also feel that Brussel is too far inland in Corum. It's best to have somewhere in a relatively central location, with sea access. That is why I have proposed something in Apollonia - the New Tymaria site right along the Prime Meridian. Could even call that time zone "MTO Time".

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
The classification of the Obedience Machine's functioning as an incident is troubling the Jingdaoese delegation. Calling it an incident both belies that the machine is a fundamental part of our nation's policies, and also creates the illusion that this was a mistake or even a crime. We will give Mr Landry the benefit of doubt and hope we will not be confronted with more SANE propaganda in the future.
With regard to the discussion at hand, we believe the MTO should be located on an island that it wholly controls.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
My personal and sincere apologies are conveyed to the Jingdaoese representative. I am not a partisan, and I apologize for my choice of language. I must admit, I did not know how to refer to that event, and I apologize. I called it an "incident" based on this definition of that word: "an event or occurrence". No further meaning was imbued in that, as I am not part of SANE nor the USSO.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
I agree with the Jingdaoese delegation, and suggest placing the new headquarters on an island that has conveniently always existed wherever we happen to want it (perhaps equatorial), but is just barely too small to be included on the world map. Perhaps even located in the middle of the ocean, well beyond the limits of the economic reserve zones as defined by the MTO Laws of the Seas.

Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
Why not locate it on Tymaria City?
Honoured Servant of the Jingdaoese Heavenly Light and the Kaiseress of Shireroth
Re: [Dialogue] Headquarters of the Micras Treaty Organization
Please see the first post on this thread - if Tymaria City is still standing, then it can definitely be a contender.
Also I should note that for Tymaria City, there would have to be due consideration for diplomats and representatives of all nations to be able to have access. Fully understanding and upholding the right of every nation to determine who can come in and who can't, it is difficult to see free access by MTO staff, diplomats, and representatives with initiatives like this. The same goes for any other nation that offers to host the MTO.
Also, some clarification is necessary on who is representing Jingdao in the MTO. You can make that clarification here: viewtopic.php?f=102&t=9238
We should probably start narrowing options now so we can have a productive end to this dialogue sometime soon.
Options proposed so far:
1. Keep in Tymaria City pending a clarification of its current status;
2. Shirekeep;
3. Craitland (who is not a member of the MTO);
4. Dragonmoor;
5. New Tymaria / Own island or city-state somewhere.
If the representatives can rank their preferences as a reply, we can start to narrow it down to two choices and move from there?
