| Welcome to Talo Balka! This is the forum for the NationStates region known as Talo Balka. We're a new region that came about as a result of a merger between New Talos and Franco Balka. We're still in the very early stages of building our new home. You're currently viewing our forum as a guest.

A general consensus has been reached that a referendum should be held to determine which nation should have the honors of hosting Talo Balka's first international diplomatic summit. Before the voting proper, it would be beneficial for all parties interested in applying to detail why they believe their nations to be the optimal choice for host. In this thread, feel free to do just that - include any and all information you believe to be pertinent to convince others to vote for you. Feel free to make addendums as you see fit. Also, feel free to ask specific questions to other nations, if you would like something important to you clarified. Edited by The Altarian Empire, Jun 18 2015, 12:39 PM.

Yes, it would be permissible to have armed guards outside the Grand Palace. It would be recommended to use concealable firearms simply as a courtesy to put the general populace at ease, but there are no significant legal regulations regarding this matter. The Arch Knights of Altair always attempt to rely on themselves before others with regards to security: we can understand anyone who would rather vest their faith with their countrymen before the AKA.

"How would the government of Larsland protect the delegates against an attack if all weapons are banned on the nation's soil?" Larsland would be happy to note that all forms of shields, armor, and other protections against weapons are perfectly legal. Depending on the nature of the attack, Larsland would choose the best of the following options: > Use non-violent persuasion to neutralize attacks > Arrest the attacker(s) > Provide early warning and secure bomb shelters under the Villa > Mobilize the full strength of the Larsland Defense Force > Pray really, really hard |

We will answer the question as best we can. Armed and trained guards will be hired to ensure full security, though bringing bodyguards from the home country is allowed. Also, the place is quite remote only known to several high officials. It is my unfortunate duty, to have to sanction mind-wiping (Note: The mind-wiping is expensive and quite primitive) for our personnel and guards. We also have professional tasters and the delegates choose their room. Anymore security is welcomed if the delegates wish. To soothe your fears from an attack from outside I will be there personally. While not the best security I hope it will calm the delegates mentally. On the subject of religions, we are a highly religious yet understanding country. As said before, we have churches for those with religious beliefs. |

The Confederate government would like to thank the governments of Altair, Larsland, and Electus Dei for their clarifications. With the current information, the Confederacy believes that the Empire of Altair would be best suited to host the summit due to its reliable security, sensible regulations and restrictions, and the political and religious neutrality of the Empire when compared to the other prospective hosts. However, this decision is not final and is subject to change should other nations wish to host the summit or new and relevant information comes to light. |

Regardless of the outcome, Larsland feels the need to reaffirm their strongly held stance that allowing concealed weapons is the opposite of a sensible regulation, and would like to express strong disapproval towards the Confederacy for making such a statement. |

The Waltch Dominion, although it is the largest and one of the most powerful nations on Talo Balka, will not attempt to convince others to hold the meeting in Waldzenia. A neutral nation would clearly be a better choice. We believe Altair to be the best option. |
