Treaty of Nisipari

After the Pan-Anarian War, the situation in Northwestern Stoldavia was turbulent. Conflicts arose among Hagen, Liden, and U8C3A5dalen due to the transition of Nelfsthal in U8C3A4lvsdalen from Morenburg to the Av Kulla dynasty (House of Kulla). With Karl av Kulla in exile, Liden seized control of this territory, tapping into its rich raw materials. As complexities grew, several parties, including Auresia guarding the copper mines of Kopparbruk and Orkanan volunteers safeguarding sanctuaries in Östervallen, came into play. Aedeland also positioned security forces in Hagen to protect iron production in this troubled region.

Preliminary Talks

Karl av Kulla aspired for peace, ideally with him leading the charge. Leveraging connections with Anarian royals and nobility, and his role as Liden's ambassador, he garnered support for a confederation. It aimed to ensure raw material supply to fuel industrialization across the region. After much negotiation, all parties agreed to a conference in the Becuvitatian city of Nispari in 7564.

First Round Talks

Information yet to be added (TBA).

Second Round Talks

Mainly focused on power dynamics, this round deliberated on persuading the three nations about the benefits of a unified structure. Key points:

1. U8C3A5dalen wanted territories to be similar in size, meaning new entrants would not merge with larger nations but join the confederation independently.
2. A division by "trias politica" on the federal level was introduced, with a core cabinet for common issues.
3. Anarian nations demanded state symbols like flags and coat of arms be abandoned to foster a neutral ground for cooperation.
4. A transitional leadership phase was proposed, with Karl av Kulla named the first head of state or "King of Vittmark".
5. Outlying territories and conflict zones were placed under federal guidance, awaiting a long-term solution.

Agreement

Key clauses include:

1. Forming Vittmark as a federation comprising Hagen, Liden, and U8C3A5dalen.
2. Karl av Kulla as the federation's head.
3. Establishment of federal institutions.
4. Division of Hagen into two separate entities.
5. Incorporation of various dependencies and territories as member states.
6. Borders with both signatory and non-signatory nations were outlined.
7. Deployment of international peacekeeping forces and the return of Aedeland police forces.
8. Formation of federal military units.
9. Restrictions on Vittmark's armament capabilities.
10. Establishment of trade ports monopoly and port concessions.
11. Transition of all international representation to the federal level.

Signatories

The signing process was tiered. Main signatories were territorial representatives. Primary signatory nations actively participated in discussions, while other signatory nations mainly observed. Most were represented by ministers, ambassadors, or civil servants.

Port Concessions

To avoid conflicts, port cities were designated for monopolized trade for each signatory nation. This also involved tariffs, with all imports into Vittmark incurring a 2.4% federal import tax.

Impact and Resolution

After domestic ratification, Vittmark was proclaimed on June 6th, 7564, with a ceremony led by King Karl av Kulla. However, he was assassinated in December 7566. His successor, Queen Anna av Kulla, continued his work, culminating in a new constitution by 7574. Subsequently, Vittmark began the process of federalizing port concessions, opposing the Gadalhem agreement, and gradually dismantling the legal structure of unwanted port concessions.
