Fellow Democracies,

You are all no doubt aware of the recent events in Zelphos, a nation which has suffered a partially successful coup d’etat by the cruel tyrant known as General Azur Merik, supported by certain members of the Anti-Democratic League against the remaining democratic government, which is supported by members of these alliances. The Aestorian Commonwealth has joined the fight forthwith, and is interested in pursuing the war on a wider scale against all those in the Anti-Democratic League foolish enough to support the self-confessed terrorizing doctrine currently being perpetrated against the rightful Zelphos government.

We would therefore like to inquire, informally at the highest level, whether members of these alliances would be interested, as a group, to join this most right and just cause: there is an immediate democratic interest, an immediate humanitarian interest, an immediate allied security interest.

We think it is high time for us liberals, lovers of freedom and democracy, to stand together and advance our cause.

I have the great honour to remain,

His Imperial Highness Richard Henry Kazpia

By Heaven's Command &c.,

Foreign Secretary,
The Aestorian Commonwealth

Merge with the International Freedom Coalition?

Seriously, all of you already fulfill the IFC admissions criteria and vice versa (because you stole our application form ). We already have lots of shared members, and a shared love of freedom and democracy, some of us are fighting together on the battlefield, and it'd be a real pleasure to have you all with us. It really doesn't make very much sense that the two alliances are still separate.

As part of the merge, I'd be very happy to appoint Carloso C-in-C of the RRF and Brytene as Minister for Intelligence, if they'd like to continue in their posts, and Greater Carloso is sufficiently well known in the IFC and has enough support to join the forthcoming elections as a third candidate. And of course I'd want to widen the ADS war games - I'm sure there would be IFC members interested in joining and getting it going again.

(I'm even willing to go so far as to say that if any of you want to join the IFC, you don't even need to fill in the application form - you can join and vote anyway! I trust New Carloso's judgement completely).

[Pillowlandia]

But but but.... I like the name better.

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

So do I, frankly. Fortunately, in the IFC an enabling act can enable anything, including changing the name. Alternatively one could always merge the names - how about Alliance of Free Nations?

[Pillowlandia]

Or there could simply be double demonyms for members to choose at their discretion?

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

Or there could simply be double demonyms for members to choose at their discretion?

Now there is a brilliant idea. Why aren't you in the ADS/IFC government yet?

[Pillowlandia]

Likely given the fact that I've been a member of both for like a week and a half.

[Pillowlandia]

Alternatively they could be maintained as separate organizations which have similar but differing goals and have close relations.

Salutations!

In behalf of the Republic of Valkea and its people, I humbly salute the Alliance of Democratic States for promoting and preserving freedom and democracy throughout the world. Millions of people are indeed privileged to live under governments who listen to their citizens, respect their rights, and uphold their responsibilities to them, and that has certainly promoted lasting peace for generations to enjoy.

Valkea wishes to be a part of this esteemed intergovernmental organization, as it is convinced the ADS will provide a platform for us to promote the values of democracy alongside like-minded nations. In addition, we wish to participate in the ADS's undertakings in pursuit of diplomatic means to avert conflict. As such, we submit our application for membership in the Alliance of Democratic States. We do hope you may consider.

Should our nation be accepted into this alliance, we submit Rep. Matukka Mylund to represent the interests and concerns of Valkea in this alliance. In the spirit of cordiality and democracy, we wish you success in your endeavors.

May all be well with you,

He policed the bodies and took their money, he doubted the Ruble would have much value here. He light a smoke and looked around. His unit started to move out to heat to the a nearby town. Once he got to the town they arrested several threats and gave them over to the Russian MPs. At this rate Sweden will fall in the week. The french were moving in on the West and the South and Russia moved in by the East and the South.

I certainly believe this organization needs a jumpstart.

[Pillowlandia]

It currently is dead at the helm, which is particularly harmful. Perhaps we could hold some sort of elections or such to get things going again.
