CoN 4: First Judiciary Committee of the Council of Nations

Background
75 years after the First Treaty of Amsterdam, Holland noticed a loophole in the Treaty, allowing them to diplomatically vassalize Oldenburg, an OPM in the North Germany region, which Trier interpreted as a complete violation. After some bickering, Trier called upon the Judiciary Committee of the Council of Nations to settle the conflict.
