i. Background
For a time, the Communist International protected the socialist and communist world from the aggression of militant capitalists and savage fascists who sought to bring ruin and destruction to leftists across the globe. After the organisation became defunct in 1968, a power vacuum was left in its wake, with multiple smaller alliances rising to power and securing names for themselves. None of these smaller alliances ever held the same feeling as the Comintern did, as the Comintern was the largest modern communist and socialist alliance in existence for a time after many of the old communist alliances crumbled. With the needs of the leftist world kept in mind, the Liaoist International is established, following the principles of Liao Jinshi.
ii. Preamble
The Liaointern will be formed to protect Liaoists around the world and provide safe haven for any leftists in need of protection or refuge. In order to ensure the existence of Liaoism and the safety and security of leftists who do not follow Liao Jinshi's teachings, the Liaoist International shall protect not only Liaoist states but also leftist states in need of protection.
I. Article One
Terms of admittance to the Liaointern are as follows.
- All applicants must adhere to the Charter of the Liaointern,
- All applicants must be in a state of relative stability in order to best preserve the goals of the Liaointern,
- All applicants must recognise each member state as an equal sovereign state co-inhabiting the world in peace,
- Each member state will be required to house a Political Academy for diplomatic and administrative purposes in its political capital, which is to funded by said state unless the state is incapable of supporting said PA.
II. Article Two
"The Liaoist Academy"
II.1. Section One
In the spirit of further maintaining the sovereignty of all member states, the Liaoist Academy, herein referred to as the LA, consists of members appointed by the head of the Liaointern at the time. These members, the leader of the Liaointern excluded, may be removed by a unanimous vote by Liaointern members not in the LA.
II.2. Section Two
All leftist applicants may be automatically admitted to the Liaointern should their admittance not be contested by any member state. Should their application to the Liaointern be contested, the following procedures for engaging in vote should be initiated.
II.3. Section Three
At the head of the Liaoist Academy will be the Grand Commissar, who will oversee the affairs of the entire Liaointern. At this time, the Grand Commissar is Vladimir Mikhailovich Stuyonovich of the Stoklomolvi Liaoist Federation, and will remain as such until he expires and a new Grand Commissar must be selected by vote from all members of the Liaointern.
III. Article Three
"The Iron Curtain"
III.1. Section One
All member states are to refrain from inter-Liaointern aggression. Any inter-Liaointern disputes must be settled through diplomatic discourse and, failing that, through a meeting of the LA. Should any state resort to violence or overly-aggressive economic, domestic or political tactics in order to undermine their Liaointern brother(s), the remainder of the Liaointern is charged with the immediate punishment of the offending state should diplomacy fail.
III.2. Section Two
All nations are encouraged to commit their armed forces to continued and precise communication with other Liaointern forces in the spirit of strategic clarity and victory. No member states shall be required to house any foreign military personnel on domestic soil, nor are they required to commit soldiers to any sort of rapid reaction force. There is no obligation to commit forces to the offensive operations of any Liaointern state.
III.3. Section Three
All Liaointern states reserve the right for first strike tactics against enemy states, providing opposition to said tactic is not voiced by another member state. Should said member state oppose said tactic, the LA is charged with vote to determine the course of action to be taken by the instigator of the conflict. Similarly, should the LA vote in favour of the action, then said protesting nation must diplomatically support the first strike. The invasion of any third party is fully accepted politically (not necessarily militarily) providing the third party nation does not respect the sovereignty of a Liaointern nation. However, the Liaointern does not and will not endorse or encourage an unprovoked invasion of a foreign state in any way.
III.4. Section Four
Any attack on an Liaointern state is to be considered a declaration of war against every single Liaointern state. All Liaointern nations are expected to follow their fellow members into battle to defend any Liaointern member to their fullest extent. Exception is to be granted at the will of the defending Liaointern state, who may decide whether or not said aid is required.
III.5 Section Five
The Liaointern must defend against outside threats, with the goal of achieving peace and prosperity to all neutral and Liaointern-aligned nations. There are no official enemies of the Liaointern unless an alliance explicitly states that it targets leftist states or the Liaointern itself.
III.6. Section Six
Any action of unprovoked deployment of weapons of mass destruction, genocide, or any other form of mass targeting of civilians without prior Liaointern approval will subjugate the offending state to vote by the Liaointern over whether or not to reprimand said state; should the state be voted to be reprimanded with a four-fifths vote, then said state will be embargoed upon by the Liaointern for a minimum of one month and a maximum of one year. Usually, the usage of weapons of mass destruction is not strictly regulated by the Liaointern.
III.7. Section Seven
Because of the variety of laws and customs throughout the Liaointern, any citizen of a Liaointern state who breaches the domestic law of a particular state must be subjugated to the judicial system of the state in question. All member states must actively participate in the identification and arrest of all terrorists or enemies of the state where upon they will be transported back to the source of their offence. When concerning a Liaointern-wide breach of law then the ultimate command of the situation should be delegated by a council of Liaointern representatives.
III.8. Section Eight
Each member state is required to cooperate fully with all other Liaointern members in the arena of international intelligence. Any agency that discovers information of relevance and/or importance to any other Liaointern member must make said information known to the LA as a whole immediately.
IV. Article Four
"Prosperity through Liaoism"
IV.1. Section One
In the spirit of encouraging inter-Liaointern commerce, no member state is to hold a greater trade tariff against another member state than 20% towards other member states.
IV.2. Section Two
Concerning the greatest exports of the world, in order to safeguard Liaointern interests both individually and collectively, unnecessary fluctuations in key industrial exportations must be avoided to ensure the stabilization of prices, thus providing each member-state with the highest profit attainable. Key industries in question prone to instability or inter-Liaointern economic aggression must be coordinated by a relevant sub-committee of the Liaointern including all members of the industry concerned.
IV.3. Section Three
Via any form of synthetic or natural disaster, all member states are expected to significantly aid any other member nation whom is in a state of economic crisis. Said crises include but are not limited to: Natural disaster, war, reparations of conflict, economic depression, drought, famine and internal destabilization. Monetary and military aid are expected, however more direct methods such as labour, relief workers, food, or medical supplies are encouraged.
IV.4. Section Four
Recognition of the rights of any Liaointern citizen to move freely within the Liaointern is highly encouraged. In the event that such an agreement between states is unattainable, an advanced Visa program is compulsory where upon all Liaointern visas will be addressed and granted at an accelerated pace from that of others. The Liaointern understands, however, that the completely free movement of goods within the Liaointern is impractical when concerning the variety of customs, cultures and laws that inhabit the world.
IV.5. Section Five
No member state is to be permitted to enact an embargo or blockade of trade against another without approval granted by the LA with vote. Reprimands due to weapons of mass destruction use are exempt.
