Swift negotiations have led to the formation of a new military organisation as of the 15th of October 2012, with its official name the Central Defence Initiative or its more reliable abbreviation, the CDI. After weeks of debate the three participating sovereign nations and their representing delegations have ratified the Laesico Treaty, forming the charter of the alliance.

All had come to the conclusion that Pardes Elion is in need of a new, strong, reliable, and collective military body. “Joint forces that are needed to conduct military operations in strive of coherent solidarity, international stability, determination, and defensive precautions.”  Including the Central Collective Reaction Force of the initiative, proclaimed as ‘forces capable of rapid response to developing situations’.

Today the forces comprise a variety of naval and air stations vested across the Central Ocean, and to an lesser extent the Victoria Ocean.

Now consisting of the three main signatories, potential member-states are first in line for an application procedure and a subsequent accession to the organisation. The Western Confederal States looks forward to the beneficial opportunities achievable by the new formed CDI institutions.  Citing the Secretary of State Pamela Haggison, “The establishment of the CDI is a big milestone for our nation as well as a glorious day in the history of Pardes Elion. I would like to thank both the Belfrasian Kingdom and the Altrenian Administratum for this marvellous event we have all opted for.”

In its new manifesto the council of CDI publicised the first initial steps of structure and has assigned its new secretary general, Jerry Klenfield addressed as main executive to the alliance. Insofar, everything has been looking great, blessed with progressive optimism. Yet ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.
It’s further of importance that CDI does not provoke other military bastions of Pardes Elion, housing one of the strongest navies in the world. The main concern are the Estovakivan authorities, “how are they going to react?” was inquired by an attendant of the first summit in Laesico. Far-left critics in the Citizens’ Republic of the West state that the measure was only taken because of self-interest within the Central Ocean region citing the title of a CRW newspaper article: “The imperialist menace has finally awoken.”— Though CRW demagoguery and propaganda became rather unreliable and condoned sources. In the confederation itself, critics state that it is the ‘fear’ of Estovakivan dominance in the area.

Of course the question remains as to which point conspiracy will arise, but it will the solid stance of the CDI will always prevail.
