President and MTIA Loic de Fourgéres arranges to attend an optional ceremony at which some long time permanent residents are being awarded their citizenship, saying a few words at the appropriate time.
"I would like to welcome you to your new status, as citizens of the United Provinces of Eutopia. You have already been contributing: as productive members of society, by paying taxes, by being part of your communities. Today you have taken it a step further. I would ask you not to think of it as an end, but as a beginning, even though, it was, for many of you, a long process. But now you can vote, serve on juries, or run for office. Don't think, that isn't for me. The UPE has a very high proportion of immigrants serving in elective offices, so why not you?
I thank you for, in taking this step, the confidence you have placed in our institutions, of which I have some temporary stewardship, and wish to be the first to congratulate you on your accomplishment today."
Loic shakes the hands of the new citizens after they receive their certificates. After leaving the ceremony, he washes his hands.

Loic asks a staff member to catalog the multilateral treaties that the United Provinces of Eutopia hasn't signed.
"On second thought, if it would be quicker to list the ones we have signed, that will do just as well."

President and MTIA Loic de Fourgéres meets with the aide who researched the Eutopian participation in multilateral treaties.
"Thanks for all your work. I guess you didn't find much because there wasn't much to find. So what you are telling me is that, under the monarchy, regency, and Republic as organized under the 'November constitution' we acted like we were signatories, i.e. decided to be bound by the terms of most of these widely accepted multilateral treatries, but never actually got around to signing them. Earlier, that was consistent with prevailing isolationism in the monarchy and regency periods, so I guess the republic hadn't gotten into the habit of doing so. The current Commissioner of Justice, when he was MILE or something, referred to this as the treaties having 'at least an advisory capacity in Eutopian law'. Well I don't think there is much favorable publicity to be gained by catching up with signing all these treaties, so I won't invite the press or do it in a public ceremony, unlike the nuclear non-proliferation, land mine ban or whaling convention treaties. Plus, I already have enough treaty signing pens to give away for the rest of my term anyway.
Please get me a stack of the treaties, and I will sign the obvious ones. I am not ready to sign the Kyoto global warming treaty, at least not without some inducement, but we should certainly sign the Geneva convention. We will publish a notice that the treaties have been signed and send signed copies to the appropriate repositories."
When the aide brings the printed copies, Loic signs he following treaties:
That's enough for today, I am beginning to get writers cramp. That takes care of the atmosphere and space category. I will tackle another category tomorrow. Please have these actions listed in the executive equivalent of the law gazette. I wonder what the Guiness Book of Records entry is for most treaties signed in a week is? Here, this is for you."
Loic hands the aide the pen with which he signed the treaties.

When the aide brings the printed copies, Loic signs he following treaties:
- Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (1963)
- TREATY ON PRINCIPLES GOVERNING THE ACTIVITIES OF STATES IN THE EXPLORATION AND USE OF OUTER SPACE, INCLUDING THE MOON (1967)
- AGREEMENT ON THE RESCUE OF ASTRONAUTS, THE RETURN OF ASTRONAUTS AND THE RETURN OF OBJECTS LAUNCHED INTO OUTER SPACE (1968)
- INTELSAT (1971)
- CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY SPACE OBJECTS (1972)

- VIENNA CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE OZONE LAYER (1985) and MONTREAL PROTOCOL ON SUBSTANCES THAT DEPLETE THE OZONE LAYER As Amended in London, June 1990; and at Copenhagen, 23-25 November 1992

Loic hands the aide the pen with which he signed the treaties.
The aide coughed discretely as the President signed the treaties. "Mr. President, traditionally, at least, the Assembly has approved treaties. And under the Constitution, which reserves the power of federal legislation to the Assembly, these treaties might not become the law of Eutopia without Assembly approval. Of course, this hasn't been tested in the courts. Yet."
Loic looks up at the aide.
"Thank you for being brave enough to raise this issue. In the US, the President signs the treaties and then the Senate ratifies them,"
The President and MTIA reads aloud:
The tradition that you speak of dates from before the September constitution, and consists of the WTO and Fishing treaties, or is there something else of which I am unaware?
Obviously, it would be better to find out now if legislative approval were required, as we currently have the majority, at least in the GA to approve all of these. I could ask another lawyer, but his opinion, even written, might not be the one that matters. Would it be a breach of protocol to ask Chief Judge of High Court Ana Clay directly to clear up these tradition-based rumblings, or do we have to file papers with the Commissioner of Justice to get it vetted? It would be a bit strange to do the latter, because I would be either suing myself about any of the treaties I signed, or suing to overturn my predecessor's signing of the CAFTA treaty which I drafted and fully support. It is a shame those who drafted the constitution didn't have the foresight to cover this point. I suppose we could fix it now, by putting forward a constitutional amendment, but I would rather not do that, as it would look like a power grab, when all we really need is clarification. As it is now, with the current UMP majority, I don't really mind what they decide, although it seems clear to me that it is clearly in my power as President and MTIA to sign the treaties, and it is up the legislature to make sure that certain provisions are subsequently written into our laws, so we don't lose face for breaking signed treaties. Will you look into this, or should I?"
"Thank you for being brave enough to raise this issue. In the US, the President signs the treaties and then the Senate ratifies them,"
The President and MTIA reads aloud:
"...while our September Constitution is strangely silent on the matter, as was its predecessor. Some treaties would just be an agreement between nations, within the power of the administration to regulate, others would require enabling legislation to be enforceable as local law, for example to the ban of the use of chloro-flurocarbons in aerosol sprays. If no such legislation were passed, and if it were assumed to be beyond the power of MESA or MERL to issue a regulation banning the sale or production of such sprays, then we could be in violation of the treaty we had agreed to be bound by, and thus could suffer international disapproval or possible penalties. That, and that my predecessor signed the CAFTA treaty without legislative approval, is why I thought that it was within my power to do so.US Constitution said:

Loic arrives at his MTIA office and picks up the cultural treaties stack, reads them, sorting them into two piles, asks the admin to find someone to come in to serve as a witness as he signs the ones in the shorter stack, which include:
- Protection of Artistic and Scientific Institutions and Historic Monuments (1935)
- Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (1954)
- Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property (1970)
- Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (1972)
- Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects (1995)
Loic grabs the folder full of treaties marked 'general' and begins flipping through them. Muttering to himself he says,
"Treaty of Westpahia, 1648, I think we can skip that one. Most of these are very relevant. Ah, finally, here's one."
UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA (1982)
"These more recent ones are more applicable."
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF TERRORIST BOMBINGS (1998)
"Not that signing it earlier would have changed anything here."
ROME STATUTE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (1998)
"I had better leave that one aside for now, with the court martial going on here. Likewise for the Convention against transnational organixed crime, as the final certified text doesn't seem to be ready."
Loic summons someone to act as a witness, and he signs the 'law of the sea' and 'suppression of terrorist bombings' treaties.

Loic looks through the stack of treaties in the Marine & Coastal category.
"At least in this area, we have actually signed a fishing treaty, so I can skip most of those. Let see what else there is."
CONVENTION FOR THE PREVENTION OF MARINE POLLUTION FROM LAND-BASED SOURCES (1974 as ammended 1986)
"This one looks fine, I am surprised President Al'Aeshir didn't bring it forward earlier, given his interest in environmental matters."
International Convention on Salvage (1989)
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON OIL POLLUTION PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE AND CO-OPERATION (1990)
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON LIABILITY AND COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CARRIAGE OF HAZARDOUS AND NOXIOUS SUBSTANCES BY SEA (1996)
"Those three look fine as well. There is something else on dolphin conservation, but it is still in the process of being ratified, so I'll wait to see what happens."
The President and MTIA summons a witness and signs the four selected treaties, handing the pen to the witness. Signed copies are forwarded as appropriate and Loic makes arrangement that the appropriate notice be published in the Federal register.

Loic grabs the folder of treaties marked 'Trade and Commercial Relations', and begins looking through it muttering to himself as he does.

The next folder in the stack is marked Flora and Fauna -- Biodiversity. Some seem to be about specific areas, and therefore don't apply, he notes.
"Even the one marked Western Hemisphere is actually only about the Americas, which we are not."

A call arrives from the newly appointed MDIS:
"Hello Per President, i call you for business. One thing i want to start right away islaying plans for new equipment, so that those plans can maturate while we reorganize the forces. Can personnel from the MTIA approach Israel to see if we can buy some weapons from them? I would be very interested in the new Spike Antitank missile. Other countries we could contact for that purpose could be Brasil and South Africa, the first builds copies of the Beretta handgun."

Glad to see you aren't wasting any time. I will contact those embassies, but the response might be slow. (OOC: the foreign affairs mods are off until next month.) If I do get a response, how many Spike anti-tank missiles do you want? Wait, let me guess! 500? That would be one for each Gorgon II and Leopard I we sold to Tilapia. Sorry I shouldn't be so cynical, but something about your cabinet office makes the holder suspicious of our Spanish-speaking neighbors.The first one under Josephus went completely paranoid before he disappeared, he is probably still hiding somewhere near the border with a sniper rifle, waiting for the attack. That reminds me, you should check to see where are submarines duty stations are. How many anti-tank missiles do you want, actually, and about how much should they cost?
For the Brazilians, can't inidividuals here buy handguns from them commericially? If so, you needn't go through me, although I would be happy to assist if needed. How many do we need, and what should they cost? Wasn't there a local firm manufacturing one though? Be sure to run a comparison test.
What did you want to buy from the South Africans? I don't think they have invested as much in the defense sector since the end of apartheid, having shifted their priorities."

"Ahahah, i'm not paranoid with our Spanish neighbours....it's probably the food they serve here in the Quadragon internal catering, the chili and the paella are awful, it's a natural reaction.
The numbers for those missiles...i think that a preliminar stock of 20 Spike for evaluation could be good.
Regarding the brasilian handgun, their copy of the Beretta is very good, and it's also outside the embargo area. I thought that contacting as Eutopia could bring to a price reduction..."

A call to the president from the MIDA, sitting in a courtroom:
"I just realised something, per President. Where can we get the materials we need for the railroad project? Perhaps you can try to make a deal from a major steel-producing country."
"I just realised something, per President. Where can we get the materials we need for the railroad project? Perhaps you can try to make a deal from a major steel-producing country."
Responding to the new MIDA...
"I believe the free market can work better than a state-to-state negotiated deal. If we try that, they will think we want a kick-back and will raise the price to include that cost. I prefer competitive bidding."

Like you did with the construction, you could use the townhall, or the similar way I used to do was to prepare a press release. Then any interested companies will contact you. But I don't think we want to order the rails separate from then contractor, as if there is a problem, they will both point fingers at each other and we will be stuck with the wrong kind of rails. It might be better to let the contractors handle it.
The next folder, marked diplomatic relations is rather slim.
"I guess these rules haven't changed much over time."
Loic reads the four treaties.
VIENNA CONVENTION ON DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS AND OPTIONAL PROTOCOLS (1961)
VIENNA CONVENTION ON CONSULAR RELATIONS AND OPTIONAL PROTOCOLS (1963)
VIENNA CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF TREATIES (1969)
VIENNA CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF TREATIES BETWEEN STATES AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OR BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS (1986)
"The appear non-controversial. I can't understand why the diplomats back then didn't wrangle trips to Vienna to participate in these conventions. Maybe they did, but just couldn't get the king's minister to sign?"
Loic summons a witness, signs the treaties, hands the pen to the witness, arranges for signed copies to be forwarded to the appropriate places, and gives instructions for the action and documents to be printed in the Federal register.
