Unite! [ALLIANCE, Sign-Ups]

[Reselia]

A new organisation, Unite is intended to be a coalition of nations - a small, close-knit community of allies, willing to help one another in any way. Benefits include trade pacts - free trade between nations, wih little or no tariffs that would otherwise apply, and possibly access to domestic markets usually hidden from foreign investors. Militarily, nations are not required to support alliance members, though with the community of allies we hope to have, such acts would be greatly supported. Unite is also here for those nations which are travelling down the slippery slope of political government change; to democratic or dictatoral, it matters not.

Currently, there are few "senior" positions in Unite, but member nations can feel free to propose positions at any time. Currently, the occupied positions are that of Founder, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Defence Secretary and Minister for Member Induction, but vacant ones include:
Recruitment & Propoganda Minister (deals with applications to join Unite) and Unite Assemby Leader (who serves as 'official' leader of Unite, as well as dealing with bureaucracy). Interested parties should add this to their applications as seen below.

Unite is a alliance of freedoms, a place for progress! No discrimination is based on political or economic types, such as those that run rampant in the regions, the alliances, the coalitions of the world! We do disapprove of "hate" organisations, and will ask our members to resign from any they may have joined. Examples include: Antifa, Anti-Antifa, ANA and the ACA. However, we do hope that nations interested in applying have mid-high civil rights, though this only plays a small part in the selection process for applicants.

We are also glad to announce the opening of our discussion thread, which can be found here:
UNITE! DISCUSSION THREAD
There is no current issue.
We are also goad to announce our first Diplomatic Summit, for ALL members:
Unite! Diplomatic Summit

Leading on to another important subject; how does one join Unite? To be honest, it's quite simple - merely fill in the application below, and relax as it's considered by the rest of Unite.

As Unite! Founder, I am glad to say that your application has been ACCEPTED - and you have been offered a probationary turn as Defense Secretary. We also ask that you fill in the economic system (communist, capitalist, etc.).
Otherwise, welcome to Unite!

Your military is fairly large - we wouldn't advise 12%, perhaps cutting it to 5% would be ideal; such an economic drain could not be sustained for long and would eventually cause an economic crisis, plunging your country into recession.

Besides this, your RPing seems to be fairly good, with proper spelling and grammar - though the RP example is rather short, so I'll give you the benefit of doubt. Otherwise, everything seems fine. Welcome to Unite!

We are glad to say that your application to Unite! has been accepted! The application for Defence Secretary is denied, though, as the position is already occupied. However, there is an issue, and until it has been resolved you will be a probationary member. We ask that you increase your level of civil rights to a minimum of 45, preferably within a week, in accordance with the principles of Unite!

Right, there are quite a few issues here. Namely, the length and quality of your RPing. While my expectations are higher than most of NS, I at least expect you to get grammar, punctuation, and most spellings right - also, I would like posts of at least one paragraph (four decent sentences each) whenever you post in the IC.

Unfortunately, Soviet Socialist Republic's application to join Unite! has been DENIED, as has the application to Foreign Minister. We require that civil rights increase to a bare minimum of 35 though we would prefer civil rights to be as high as 45+.

I will need RP samples - links to threads - before I even consider your application.

We are glad to welcome Falsea into the ranks of full members of Unite!, though we have but a single request - could Falsea perhaps increase civil rights slightly? Otherwise, all is well with the acceptance of this up and coming nation.

I know you, so no RP problems, and any issues I might otherwise have been had were dealt with in the IC. Welcome to the club!

[Reselia]

We have a proposal we wish to offer up; should we introduce a discussion thread for the members of Unite?

[Falsea]

Thank you for your generosity in accepting Falsea into an international alliance and it's policy in respecting nations regardless of their political beliefs as demonstrated by our acceptance. We will redouble our efforts to try and give more civil freedoms to the citizenry although recent surveys showed that 92 percent of the Falsean citizenry are content with theirs. Nevertheless, we will do it for the sake of this alliance.
Once again, we thank the founder for our acceptance.

P.S. Falsea votes for the creation of a discussion thread for the alliance to discuss issues. An issue i would like to address is the feud of the ACA and the ANA, which i'am sure you all know. Both organizations are a threat to national sovereignity and should be dealt with at once.

Regards,
Minister of State, Minister Royce Lawrence

[Reselia]

We thank Falsea for their efforts towards establishing a state of good civil rights, and their opinion that a discussion thread should be set up - which will indeed occur as I write this telegram to you.

Unite! Discussion Thread

The ANA-ACA feud is indeed of the greatest importance, and we urge any member nations to resign from either organisation, if possible, as these could indeed lead to inter-alliance problems and the escalation of several wars they are already fighting - inherently pacifist as this alliance was intended to be, these would all be detrimental. A referendum should probably be held in case of further discussion.

We have indeed resigned from both alliances in a recent diplomatic announcement.

Regards to all member nations,

Lord Haakon

We are afraid we must temporarily DENY Nordengrund from joining the Ranks of Unite! for various reasons.

Two things; a military of 80% is completely unsustainable and we advise you chop it down to a MAXIMIM 6%.
Second, you can do me two RO sample paragraphs.
One is an overview of your nation in he present day, which should be quite a long paragraph, glossing over most areas.
Second is a description of what you hope to accomplish in NS/Unite! which should be short-medium in length.

Fully accepted; not often one sees such excellent examples of diplomacy. We're also glad to offer you a probationary term as Foreign Affairs Minister before becoming Assembly Leader. Feel free to post in the discussion thread! One small issue though - it would be ideal if. Ohio rights could be raised to a minimum of 45, though 40 could be acceptable, at a stretch.
