Treaty of Tortonga

The Treaty of Tortonga, signed and ratified on 5 January 2024 in She-Notes' closet on the island of Tortuga, Haiti, divided the Americas amongst 13 aspiring empire builders. After two and a half hours of negotiation, deliberation, and wheel spinnings, the two continents had once more fallen to Western colonialism. Following the success of the Merlin Conference, a recarving of Africa, the representatives convened once more to fulfil their imperialistic tendencies. The treaty's success is then followed up by divisions of Asia, Middle East, and Europe.
== Conference ==
The conference was quickly organized after the end of the Merlin Conference. Citing the reason that "it was fun" and not at all that we're all bloodthirsty imperialists. The conference was to be held on the Haitian island of Torutuga, in She-Notes' now empty closet, on 5 January, just three days after the previous partition. In the days leading up to the meeting, some people had already begun staking claims and negotiating.
The delegates and their colonies were:
* Minccino - Anneciana/Onapsai
* Mocha - Mochan Caliphate
* Void - Petrolexas
* PumpUpTheVolume - United Provinces of New Miami
* Frit - Hyperborea Amazoniae & Dinocraterland
* Confalt (Nixon) - Ancapistan
* Ghosty - Anoischeilteachia
* Transcended - Transcended's Ski Resorts & Nuclear Weapon Development®
* She-Notes - Transfederative Republic of Colorado
* Merlin/THE Frenchman™ - Nouveau Monde
* EpicGamerWinXD - Principality of Poyais & Best Colombia
* Pastaa - Greater Pernambuco
* CSChonkeMonke - Agua Tres
A Virginian-Carolinian buffer state was created between Ghosty and Pump's claims, and is administered by them and Transcended.
== Post-Treaty Americas ==
== Aftermath ==
The treaty actually had substantial effects outside the realm of mappainting. Mocha offered Transcended an "economic development" deal to help her build more ski resorts. This deal effectively turned her into a Mochan puppet. She-Notes was also offered a similar deal to join the American Union, a union of queer fascists. Despite presumably being part of this union, Transcended insists she is not a fascist. Just ignore the fact that she uses passionate cis straight slave laborers volunteers to build and work at her ski resorts. 'Notes initially denied the offer, before declaring "fuck it deal" and also becoming a puppet. Mocha then, through puppeting them, adopted both of them. They are now sisters.
