Turbeaux I'm happy for us to take the initiative on this one. Here's the relevant part of the constitution:
6.2 The Forest Keeper (possibly through the request of a Regional Officer) may decide to request embassies with other regions. If the region meets the 6 WA nation and older than 6 months requirements it will be voted on as described in Clause 6.5. Otherwise it will be voted on as described in Clause 6.6.
6.5 Embassy votes which fall under this clause will be voted on in the following fashion:
i) A description of the telegram received by the nation and/or assessment of the region by a member of Forest's government will be posted on the RMB.
ii) A poll, with natives only eligible to vote will be posted. The poll will be posted as soon as convenient for the government, avoiding excessive delays. The poll is recommended to be open for 3 days, although it may be reduced to 2 if there is a backlog in polls. The poll will be entitled ‘Shall we (open/close) embassies with (the region in question)?’ and will provide a ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ option. The poll will be decided by a simple majority, with a tie being decided by the Forest Keeper. Puppeteering on a regional embassy poll is not permitted.
@Turbeaux as a member of the government could you post your assessment of Conifer? I'd like to respect Ruinenlust's position, so please TG him and agree on who's going to post the poll. I'm not sure he ever comes to the forum.
