The International Union
Old thread

"United in Diversity, United we Stand, United Together"
Welcome to the International Union. The International Union is a politico-economic union between member states. Any democratic nation may apply to become a member state. The International Union in broad is just a political alliance. Once you are in the IU, its up to you to find areas which your country would feel good about joining, such as the Open Border Pact, or even as integrated as a shared currency. The IU never mandates you do major things, but allows you to "Opt-In" and "Opt-Out" on what you want.

Diplomacy

The IU Diplomacy Division (IUDD) is the largest division, it is home to the Executive Commission, the Executive Ministry, and the International Union Assembly (IUA). The IUA is a assembly of delegates elected from all member states to serve in the IUA. The IUA forges IU Legislation. The Executive Ministry forges IU Policy. The Executive Commission puts the Legislation and Policy is order.

The Open-Border Pact is apart of the Diplomacy Division as well recently, which you may sign!

The International Union Assembly

Trade

The IU Trade Division which houses the Trading & Economics Assembly and the International Union Central Bank (IUCB), the Assembly works and meets to discuss Trade between member states and hear the world trade reports, along with the Economics part, dealing with Taxation, Budgeting, and managing IU from a Financial Side.

The International Union Central Bank

The IUCB is the Central Bank for IU, it helps in sending aid to underdeveloped member states or just member states needing monetary assistance. Member States may donate to the bank in the IU Currency which you may convert your money into at the Bank, this money will go towards helping other Member States in Monetary Relief.

The IUCB has now been tasked with a Shared Monetary Unit, the 'Iuro' which is the currency of the International Union. Member states may now officially apply to become a holder of the Iuro Currency. The Iuro currency also is measured by the strength of the economy's of all IU nations wither they are in the Iuro or not.

The Mid East Federation, President & Founder is also President of the IEDC! (International Economic Development Council) Head on over their to be apart of the global foreign aid project!

Military

The IU Military Division is the Alliance Part of IU dealing with Member States that sign up for this Division the protection of others in the Division and for you to protect others also in the Division. It acts as an Alliance Treaty upon joining. NOTE if you declare war on someone member states are not obligated to help, they are only obligated when you are declared war on or a victim of an attack. This is a Defensive Alliance. You may donate Military Goods to use as the International Union Military Batch that will be deployed to assist member states when needed.

3. This will enable each crisis to have a player lead response to it.

New Recommendation as Minister of the Military: Protocol for Writing Military Posts.

In order to maintain a sense of quality writing, I would like to suggest the following steps be done in writing military posts, especially upon entering a thread for the first time.

1. A declaration of policy. What this means is that the government in question decides to take military measures. Any exchange of agreement to deploy troops to a country requiring aid, for instance, should start here, and #2 should not start until after this is done unless one is invading or something.
2. A declaration of military preparations. This can include gathering intelligence, preparing supplies, gathering troops to deploy them onto transport, briefings, etc.
3. At least one post describing travel towards the destination.
4. At least one post arriving. If in a foreign country or place where the poster's troops have no base, there should be a declaration of arrival as in a request to land or an opportunity for detection by enemies which includes any efforts at stealthy approach.
5. Actual boots on the ground. From here on, a fair exchange of posting actions while giving opponent/allies a chance to respond.

WTF happened to the old thread?

I really dunno, I am waiting for the official statement that this will become the new IU. Because if I recall correctly Valdiu said they would move on to I.C.O.N. :S

[Luxdonia]

WTF happened to the old thread?

Old thread's OP (TheMid East Federation) went inactive so we had to make a new thread.

[Shazbotdom]

I request that my last post in the old thread be read.

Homepage and "and counting" means still Growing.

Stats from your nation page on NS are not allowed. They're far too fluid and biased towards older nations. You're going to have to set up some RP stats.

This is the type of stuff that causes strife between us older nations and you younger nations. most of us older nations do tone down things when we roleplay with younger nations, as I normally only deploy small contingents of troops and smaller battlegroups for my navy. Unless suddenly I am flanked by multiple nations with multiple ships then I bring out a few more to support my already deployed forces.

I was debating on joining this alliance, but now am on the fence about it cause of what you said...[/quote]

[Menavolosia]

What do you mean?? I use NS Stats. not the Homepage.

[Shazbotdom]

I'm going on a trip until Sunday. Lux is in charge until then. As for you, Shaz, I'm aware of my status as a "younger" nation. I couldn't care less about GDP, but population and military size will be required under me. I'll update it when I get back.

As per this above,

The purpose of an Alliance is a group of like minded nations to have either mutual trade and\or protection with each other, to force arbitrary sizes on people when there should be trust that they would not deploy uber amounts of troops would be key. If you have no trust for that, them why create and/or join an alliance to begin with?

This is a sad day for this alliance "leadership".

Hi, everyone.
Through a complicated series of events, I have somehow found myself in charge of this organization. This is the fourth time that I've watched this organization die, eighth if you count its close cousin, ICoN. That's not a fun thing to watch, seeing as how I held prominent positions in all of those organizations.

There's an inherent problem with our current setup. It's the reason that, despite Bratislav's online coma, the IFC was able to refound itself. The organization rests too heavily on the shoulders of its administrator - its Israela, its MEF, its EN, and now, its me. I don't plan to leave NS anytime soon, but I do know that school is right around the corner, and I'll have a lot on my plate. My goal here is to make this organization self-sufficient to a degree in that if I die the moment it's complete, you guys can just elect a new president and be done with it. _{And then annex all you guys, but that's not important right now.}

Furthermore, in almost none of our pieces of legislature are due process outlined. This was a huge pet peeve of mine. Due process is, in this case, the procedures that are to be followed during the major day-to-day operation of a piece of legislation - I.E., it outlines how a nuclear strike should be authorized (authorization of the president and the Chiefs of Staff) as opposed to leaving that section blank, which creates a vacuum of ambiguity which doesn't work well at all (Bob from Accounting had a bad experience at a Croatian hotel, so let's nuke Croatia). Another one of my goals is to outline due process in all legislation. Furthermore, legislation should be written scientifically and concisely. This is to avoid confusion.

That's all for now. Expect a redesigned OP in the coming days.

Thank you,
Supreme Overlord and Destroyer of Worlds Administrator of the International Union
