Collaborative Canal for the NCSA
By: Hirilia Date: June 17, 2015, 7:28 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
To fellow Nations of the Neo-Confederate States of America,
The government of Hirilia has been focused on rivers and believe
that a major economic trade route is looming just beyond our
reach. There is currently unoccupied territory that holds what
could be the future sight of the great Snake/Missouri canal.
Granted in a world with airplanes this may seem unnecessary
however, we believe that this could revolutionize the way we do
trade. It could be the mythical Northwest passage of American
lore. The Commonwealth of Hirilia is not sure where the Congress
stands on building on unclaimed land, and does admit that there
could be problems if that land were ever claimed. The
Commonwealth government wanted to field test the idea with our
fellow nations.
Sincerely,
Prime Minister Matthew Raley

To Prime Minister Matthew Raley
From: King Aragorn
While I see this as a productive and revolutionary way to
introduce more trade and wealth to our nation, building this
Canal does cause a few noticeable problems. First of all, this
can only work if all the states are agreeable on this. There is
obvious tension between a few nations in these NeoConfederate
States, and that could possibly bar complete cooperation in this
project. Not only that, but as you said, the government itself
may have an opposing opinion on building something in unclaimed
territory, chiefly due to the fact that until claimed, no one
would have sovereignty over the canal. And if a nation gets
sovereignty over said canal? What's to stop them from destroying
it because they don't like it or using it for trade
manipulation? Government Regulation? Government regulation on
something like this could be interpreted as an affront to a
state's sovereignty who occupies the area, as states have the
right to control what is within their borders within the
boundaries of national law. As there is no law regarding
situations such as this, I suggest that we work to get a bill
passed that gives clear guidelines as to what this canal
endeavor would entail, especially because it would be an
intrastate project. I am not entirely opposed to building this
canal, as it may in fact prove beneficial, but there are
definitely some issues that must be addressed go ensure that
everything goes smoothly and no state has its sovereignty
violated.

King Aragon,
I agree that we have many problems to consider before we even
introduce a true proposal for this canal. Hopefully by tomorrow
I will introduce a bill that will make the land in question
un-claimable by any current or future nation, or at the least
make the counties surrounding it recognized as international
land. I truly believe that this idea could work and we could
bring a new wave of prosperity and make trade easier for the
entire region. I will be asking upon your highness and other
nations what they believe could be solutions to the problems we
face.
Sincerely,
Prime Minister Matthew Raley

The Confederal Government has sovereignty over all unclaimed
areas until new states are created from them. Therefor, as
Gondor has pointed out, the best first step would be for our
representatives in Congress to pass a bill granting permission
for construction in the unclaimed territories and perhaps
defining the canal as permanently "unclaimable" land?
