The Rio Summit (officially known as the 2011 Environmental Summit of the Sunshine Treaty Organization Pact) is an international conference held at Rio de Janeiro, Rio. It lasted for five days and the summit is Rio de Janeiro's second summit concerning the environment (the other being the Earth Summit held in 1992 by the United Nations). Organized by the government of the United States of JBR, the summit calls for all signatory nations in the Sunshine Treaty Organization Pact to discuss on environmental issues such as global warming, deforestation, overfishing, and pollution. The Rio Treaty was signed at the closing of the summit.

Five out of the thirteen heads of the signatories of the Sunshine Treaty Organization Pact have attended the summit along with their respective officers, specialists, experts, and guests.

The summit was originally thought of by President Justin Vuong when he heard about the Berlin Summit. Because his nation and the signatories of STOP did not participate in the Berlin Summit, he decided to create one so the signatories could create their own set of guidelines. The summit was originally planned to be held at Tejon Pass, Los Angeles, Angeles, but was later relocated to Rio de Janeiro. This move was speculated by the public due to the city's proximity to a rain forest environment and the animated film, Rio's partial influence on Vuong.

Timeline

Day One

May 1 marked the first day although it was chosen as a introductory day. Around 6:00 PM local time, the Territorial Governor of Rio, Sérgio Cabral Filho, gave a speech and welcome message to all of the guests. Soon dinner and entertainment followed. Guests were treated with free dinner and along with a play and interactive game show. An exhibit with live animals was shown in the conference's building and several leaders helped plant new trees around the Botanical Garden. The event was well-received by its guests especially from Alfred von Schliefen and Zabuza Hashimoto who commented to the assembly.

Day Two

May 2 began off with Secretary-General Xavier M. Pitag announcing the agenda. Discussions that soon took place including a proposal for a conservation status creation, business regulations, a reduction to fossil fuel use, and setting aside more land for national parks. The conservation status, littering fines, and national parks were quickly passed although the business regulations and reductions had several disputes between several signatories.

Day Three

May 3 began off similarly to the day before and several new discussions emerged include more funding for zoos and aquariums, mandating scrubber use, and oceanic littering laws. Most of the discussions went by smoothly although regulations of automobiles narrowly passed by one vote.

Day Four

May 4 officially had no voting periods although the Pacific Empire proposed a regulation on nuclear weapons in response to the Midwayan Soviet Federative Socialist Republic's newly launched nuclear program. Most of the participants left the Summit to explore the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Day Five

The closing day began with Pitag writing and presenting a rough draft of the treaty. Within several hours of the presentation, it was approved and ratified. The summit ended and all participants were dismissed.
