User blog:WaglingtonŒ/Ottoman Claims on the Arabian Peninsula (TLOPO)

In accordance with the Vienna Accordsof 1750, the Ottoman Empire shall hereby officially claim the unified territories of the Arabian Peninsula, much of which is already under direct Ottoman influence.



The Accords state:

"Land that is terra nullius (nobody's land) is neutral territory. Nations may not claim sovereignty over neutral territory unless they have historical evidence to support that their nation has even the slightest presence in the region during the present RP year. (EX: Expanding into Central Africa would not be practical until the 19th century due to technological limitations)"

The Empire presents its historical claims over the territories of the Arabian Peninsula:

Due to the Empire's inalienable claims on the region, its completely shared borders, and in full recognition and respect for the universal Vienna Accords, the Arabian Peninsula shall be incorporated into Ottoman territory in order to promote a legacy of shared prosperity and longevity.
