The '''Framework for Peaceful Co-Existence on Urlazio and Sarpedon''', more commonly known as the '''Assumption Accords''', was an agreement reached by the governments of [[Caphiria]] and [[Urcea]], settling long standing disputes over territorial boundaries on [[Urlazio]]. The agreement entailed territorial cessions of Urcean Urlazio and the island of [[Coribus]] to Caphiria in exchange for Caphirian recognition of [[New Yustona]] and Urcea's involvement in [[The Deluge]], a demilitarization of Urlazio and the greater Dorhaven region, in addition to creation of free trade zones in the same areas. As part of the agreement, Urcea ceased recognition of the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]] and ordered it to leave [[Dorhaven]], where it had resided since the end of the [[Great War]]. The Accords also called for the withdrawal of [[Xalesia]] from the [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]], which occurred prior to the end of [[2034]], though Urcea would guarantee the nation's independence. The negotiation provided for a separate agreement reached later between the two powers allowed for Caphirian investment into Urcea's Cronan sphere territories and protectorates, which was reached later in early [[2035]]. Former Procurator and Special Envoy to Caphiria [[Michael Witte]] lead the negotiating team for Urcea. The Accords are widely agreed to have brought about the end of the [[Occidental Cold War]], and also opened the door for further negotiations that resulted in the [[Eight Points Agreement]], ending the schism between Caphiria and the rest of the Catholic Church.

Assumption Accords
Long name:
  • Framework for Peaceful Co-Existence on Urlazio and Sarpedon
Signed1984

The Framework for Peaceful Co-Existence on Urlazio and Sarpedon, more commonly known as the Assumption Accords, was an agreement reached by the governments of Caphiria and Urcea, settling long standing disputes over territorial boundaries on Urlazio as well as geopolitical and legal claims in Sarpedon. This had the practical effect of creating the modern system of Imperial Diplomacy. The Accords are widely agreed to have brought about the end of the Occidental Cold War, and also opened the door for further negotiations over the course of several decades that resulted in the Eight Points Agreement, ending the schism between Caphiria and the rest of the Catholic Church.

Background

As part of a general policy of containment and defense of the Holy Levantine Empire specifically and Levantia in general, the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea adopted a policy of gaining land to create a buffer between the growing Caphirian influence and itself while continuing its expansion into the Sea of Canete. At the end of the War of Veltorine Independence, Urcea acquired a small strip of land on eastern Urlazio with several ports and fortresses in order to protect Urcean interests in the Kingdom of Crotona, and these territories were organized as the Kingdom of Lariana. These events created the Caphirian perception of Levantine Creep, sparking several centuries of animosity between Urcea and Caphiria and a source of diplomatic tension between the two countries.

Negotiation

Low level negotiations between Urcea and Caphiria began as early as 1979, with Urcean diplomats interested in including Caphirian investors in projects in New Harren and other future area in Crona, but were rebuked after the Caphirian Government publicly began a "No-Deals-Without-Urlazio" policy, elucidating no peace agreements without at least a full retrocession of the lands gained by Lariana from Caphiria after the Second Great War and preferably the cession of all of Lariana. Low level talks began after Urcean diplomats offered to return the island of Maristella and the strategically vital Ecinis peninsula in southern Lariana. These talks continually escalated until high level negotiations - including between the Apostolic King and Imperator themselves. Urcean negotiators finally agreed to cede the Ecinis Peninsula to Caphiria following the King's intervention; it is claimed that the King informed negotiators to work with an "assume good faith" attitude towards the Caphirians.

Provisions

The agreement entailed territorial cessions of the Ecinis peninsula from Lariana and the island of Maristella to Caphiria in exchange for Caphirian recognition of Lariana and the Levantine Union, a demilitarization of Caphirian Urlazio and parts of southern Lariana, in addition to creation of free trade zones in the same areas. The agreement also included Herciana within Caphiria's tariff borders and implements economic regulation common between the island and Caphiria. As part of the agreement, Urcea ceased recognition of the Veltorine government-in-exile and ordered it to leave Lariana, where it had resided since the end of the Second Great War. In addition to the agreements between Urcea and Caphiria, Aciria, Caphiria, and Urcea signed additional agreements which provided for the withdrawal of Aciria from the Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association, the end of the conceptual Eastern Imperium, and inclusion of Lariana and Aciria within Continental Obligations in a modified form, while including both nations within the Continental Diplomatic Arrangement Organization.
