Imperion Coalition [Reboot-OOC/Discussion-MT]

[Vaikujar]

Alright, alright.

Stuff happens man, it's not like I've been very active as of late either.

Anyway, yeah, I'm all up for the summit whenever you're ready to do it.

And while it is a shame a thread got retconned, at least I have more stuff in my mothball houses again.

[Common Territories]

So...

Sorry for the inactivity. To be completely clear with everyone, I was overloaded with stuff; had two storefronts at my attention, one that is still being updated and another im trying to product update and manage. Among that I had a few other stuff on NS and things in RL going on. So opening a Summit would have added to the stress. I would have been happy to do make such a thread and continue the growth we were doing but I only had one member approach me about continuing it - I am afraid many recent applicants are members looking to have their name on something rather then actually being part of stuff. Though it wouldn't be fair of me to accuse since this is the 2nd time other obligations took me away from Imperion. So I have no real position to criticize at this point.

Here's what im going to promise. After getting a few people wanting me to get this back up because monarchies need representation here in NationStates, I have decided it may be time to take this more seriously. If it's still alright with everyone, we can do the summit thread and continue growth. I have to juggle my time but if this coalition is important to others I don't want to disappoint them. Voice your opinion and desire if you members want to still go ahead with things, or, let me know if you'd care for your name to be removed off the OPs. Thank you.

[Aravea]

Well you can count me in TECT, as I would love to see Imperion beocme active once more.

[Romic]

Count me in boys

[Common Territories]

Count me in boys

Gotta sign up first

I look forward to you and Aravea being part of Imperion. Not sure when I will get to it (I want to finish my current product update before anything) but I will hammer out a schedule with the aforementioned topics and the basics of the thread (what'll happen from landing to each formal IC day, like state breakfasts/dinners, and the actual forum of discussion).

For now, my idea for the decrees will be that they are either overwhelmingly agreed upon and will therefore have me decree them at once, saving time, or the topic will be pretty split, compromises made, and a vote may happen to see who's with or against. That's how I see the actual topics/decrees passing anyways. May have to cut out some topics depending on if they're still relevant or not.

[The United Remnants of America]

I'd be in, if I could be in it. Dammit, TECT-burg.

I'm about a half-step away from having an imperial family. All I need ICly is for my leader to bully my legislature into accepting the idea that his son should be the next leader when he passes on the title of President-For-Life.

However, I need to tread carefully, because if I set that situation up officially, then I basically abdicate my position in the USN and IFC, and then there's no point in me being everywhere at once.

.... Can I apply for Observer Status, TECT? Does Imperion have Observer yet?

You do not need to really apply for an observer status. Consider it granted

All that is needed is the name of your representative.

[Common Territories]

So seeing events in a certain neighboring coalition, I believe it may be necessary to propose this topic as well for the summit since it contains half economic and half diplomatic related categories. I would like to propose the IFC Embargo.

The proposal highlights recent activity inside the IFC that has reduced it to an argument filled mess, and now, a dictatorship ran by the current Prime Minister after his Coup. Granted, an organization such as ours has little to judge or care for a supposed democratic coalition since we are monarchies above all else, but dictatorships like this who take power using coups are no better then a communist revolution or fascism - both of which we oppose. Seeing as many members are participants with the IFC or otherwise have some form of involvement with IFC/IFC members, we must take action to openly make aware our contempt for this recent coup and its current trajectory. If not for IC reasons then for legitimate OOC protest and isolation measures. I hereby will propose adding said measures to the summit's schedule:

IFC Embargo: Seeking to make a point of protest and dissidence towards this ever growing dictatorial ran organization, the Imperion Coalition will begin by officially condemning the Prime Minister who has taken over the IFC through the use of a coup d'etat; removing their council's authority by using OOC OP status, run-arounds, and deliberate confrontational attitude with uncompromising behavior. As we are not democracies by nature we care little that said foreign coalition chooses democracy or a form of dictatorship, whether it undergoes a coup, or that it has little to officially do with Imperion; however, having members and connections to partners who are greatly affected by this organization, we must voice our disdain by said Government's actions against its own members. Imperion has a duty to represent and protect member interest; as such, the Imperion Coalition shall protect member interest and the Imperion's security. It is hereby proposed a full scale embargo against ALL member states of the IFC is to commence - the IFC chose its bed, it should learn to lay in it whether some want to or not. Or so the policy should be - isolation being a tool for implementing our desire for there to be change. The following proposal enacts the following policies:

1. The IFC, its member states, and its Prime Minister (2ria) are under a full scale embargo. All economic activity is to be shut down between Imperion member nations and IFC member states. Any existing agreements between the Imperion Coalition and IFC are suspended indefinitely and member nation based agreements are at the very least aligned for immediate suspension. The end goal is total embargo of all IFC members and the organization itself. Businesses such as storefronts are included in this embargo.

2. Diplomatic missions, including embassies, are put into question and investigation. Leaving up to individual members to decide their fates with the Imperion suggestion to terminate missions until the embargo is ended. An open forum is encouraged as is a total suspension to diplomatic relations until the embargo has ceased.

3. IFC members are to be investigated in Imperion nations with the assistance of other members and Imperion organizations. All assets found are to be collected and confiscated by member states; up to debate is whether revenue from confiscated goods/currency/items is used to profit the member nation who confiscates or the Imperion itself. Confiscations includes for monetary funds in storage, stock, valuables, vehicles, goods, and other possible assets among other property. It is this proposal's suggestion that said confiscated good revenue goes toward the Imperion's Treasury (the funds could go to one of our proposed funds for example), or, to be donated to the Imperion Treasury so that it can be dispersed evenly to each member.

4. Denial to Imperion waters, EEZ, airspace, and other territories/markets; this includes ships and planes belonging to trading companies, diplomatic vessels, and illegal transports/vessels/planes not authorized to pass through Imperion Coalition territory. Military forces belonging to IFC members are prohibited indefinitely with high prejudice. The use of military, police, and security forces is encouraged with full support from Imperion Coalition forces/Reaction Forces; such forces are encouraged for the protection of member nation territories and EEZs - law enforcement for embargo runners is also supported. To combat mentioned embargo runners, or those who attempt to sneak through embargoes using such strategies as false identification and proxy sales, the ITA and member nation law enforcement forces will establish guidelines to counter such illegals. This includes providing information, training, guides on spotting and countering such piracy, and instilling the proper responses. To properly defend territory from military incursions (otherwise passed off as "Freedom of Navigation" Protests), Imperion Coalition forces will be provided naval warfare, air force, and marine guidelines and training; such training and increasing cooperation/capabilities deters enemy invasions, as our absolute staunch defense and aggressive military prowess forces protest invaders to turn back, avoid, or face a military counter attack.

5. The option for member nations to request exemption to these set of embargo policies. Not every nation can agree to this, or may wish to proceed with this proposal especially. To achieve exemption a nation must (A) be in a position of great economic endangerment to reduce partners that Imperion members cannot fulfill, (B) have too close of ties to cut away such ties to IFC member states, or (C) you are a dual member of the IFC and cannot afford to follow such a proposal at this time.

6. On exemptions, dual members are exempted from all embargo policies who are member states of the Imperion Coalition. Observer states are encouraged to follow our embargo policy but cannot be forced to follow along. Client States cannot request exemption if the proposal reaches decree or is majority voted into decree; their only way to achieve exemption is for failure of portions of the embargo or the loophole of being a dual member state.

Work in progress for the proposal. Any thoughts, concerns, suggestions for improvement, or things you'd like to see added?

[Great Feng]

Hmm....Feng would gladly join.
Feng needs new allies anyhow, as Feng has been isolationist for the past few years and have been as of late trying to rebuild lost diplomatic influence. Consider me interested.

Im afraid im gonna have to reject your membership Deian. Although im not going to hide the fact a lot of them are personal and quality related reasons, another reason is your mentioned pack alliance you founded which sorta crosses Imperion loyalty issues; I feel you don't qualify for pass on that fact alone. You can, however, ask for observer status which allows you ties to Imperion and its members.

I will work on IC reply soon to this affect (I seem to have failed in seeing an earlier application as well). Im sluggish today so I haven't gotten really any activity done; I'll try to get stuff done tonight but don't expect too much guys. It's one of those lethargic energy drained days...

Understandable I suppose. I know of your...sympathies towards me. Can't deny they aren't well-founded though and understandable.

Scheduled Topics

Imperion Domestic Aid Fund: IDAF is a proposed monetary fund made up of donated income from the governments of each member nation for the use of domestic monetary aid. As we know, two members especially are recovering from war that are members in Imperion: Quazira and Aravea, the first having a long history of unsuitability and war and the last member recovering still somewhat from a civil war/insurgency. This fund would provide monetary aid to nations like the stated examples as well as members suffering from natural disasters, urgent debt crisis, disease, famine or drought, and rebuilding after war. This was proposed by TECT, the Imperial Marshal, who has at the moment made the proposal vague for members to establish together. The current proposal from TECT establishes a mandatory donation of at least fifty million NSD per financial quarter from members, to give access to the fund to the Imperial & Economic Marshals, and to establish a three nation panel the oversee/approve use of fund money with oversight by Imperial Marshal. The Economic Marshal will head said panel.

Imperion Trade Agency & Trade Regulations: According to the original Decree by former Economic Marshal TECT in the earlier reboot, this proposal follows this original guideline: "The Imperion Trade Agency is a trade organization made up of member nations of this Coalition. It shall be made up of all members' nationalities in order to preserve our united effort to assist one another. It's goal is to regulate and manage trade between member nations. It will promote trade between member nations, aid needy members of certain supplies and materials, provide economic assistance using donated treasury funds (which this decree later on will establish), and will help establish lines of communication for governments of member nations to negotiate additional trade agreements. How much authority will this agency have? Well it will enforce Imperion trade laws, such as embargoes/sanctions and security checks, and it will assist your native customs agencies in enforcing your laws in any way the ITA can possibly do so. The reason to create this agency is to promote trade with each member nation and for the organization to help spread trade deals to foreign entities; thereby improving trade and income of each member nation. It will also work to provide better security and resources for customs agencies for each member nation. It is my hope that this agency will improve all member nations' trade income significantly and will go a long way in improving customs security and safety. Opening venues for member nations' governments will also allow members to work out future trade policies/agreements."

Taking out the use of treasury funds ability, this proposal will follow this earlier Decree's model. It is, however, to be modernize by TECT, the proposing nation, with the following add-ons:

• The Economic Marshal will now be the overseeing head to the organization - sort of a head to the head of the agency. Economic Marshals have other duties, so the ITA is just one of many overseeing bodies he's overall in charge of.
• Each member nation creates an agency division for their country, their contribution to the agency and your domestic representation to it. Although non-nationals may be stationed to other member states, this measure will better domestic operations and ensure manpower in the long run.
• Members will majority rule a member state to head the organization. Winner of said election will serve until a they resign, are removed from office, or the body votes to hold new elections. Said winner can select their representative in chamber as the Chief Officer of the ITA, or, place another government official capable of representing their nation in Imperion to the post.
• As stated, Imperion and member state customs policies will be enforced by the ITA.

Tariff Act: Borrowing from the same Decree as above - the Tariff Act proposal will follow around the guidelines established according to the text: "This decree establishes that tariffs towards other member nations must be at low standards or as low as they can be in order to retrieve profit from them. It is my hope that lowering tariffs between all member nations will help to increase trade between companies existing in all member nations. I did think it over to eliminate these tariffs altogether but in the end I decided it would be best for member nations to decide this. So besides lowering tariffs; this decree will also open venue through the ITA to negotiate lowering tariffs further to subsequently eliminating them between member nations. If it is the wish of member nations to eliminate tariffs completely, they may do so using this venue and through the ITA."

Listed modern changes are as follows:

• The established maximum amount of tariff percentage on any product cannot reach over a value of ten percent.
• Tariffs, a tax on a type of product or a specific product itself, cannot be prohibited from existing. It is up to member nations to establish their tariff policy on product(s).
• The established proposal makes negotiations for tariff and economic matters between member states easier. Meeting facilitation will be provided by the ITA and said organization will do its best to see all parties leave happy.
• Tariff percentage limits cannot be superseded or passed over by imposing tariffs from the national level and then territory level. Depending on the government type, a federalized governing system cannot act as a loophole, nor a federation system, that allows territories to tariff foreign products. The nation as an entire entity is subject to the ten percent limit.

Imperion Arms Fund: Proposed by TECT, the Imperion's largest arms manufacturer and retailer, a joint fund will be established that focuses on gathering donated funds that go toward outfitting, equipping, and arming member state militaries. Donations are completely voluntary and will go towards the stated goal of outfitting member state military forces with modern to advanced weapons and equipment/supplies. The Imperial Marshal, War Marshal, and panel headed by the War Marshal will have oversight of this fund. Said panel and oversight staff shall establish a list of storefronts, nations, and equipment viable for purchasing/to purchase from.

Imperion Quazira Aid Fund: A proposed aid package to Quazira by TECT, the IQAF would gather donated monetary funds together from member states to give to the Quaziran government. Said funds will go towards rebuilding the country's infrastructure, business loans and projects, job development, and government operations costs. To ensure the proper use of these funds, the Economic Marshal (or Imperial Marshal) shall dispatch ITA officials from outside the nation to oversee the process and results; a monthly meeting detailing the expenses and use of the funds shall take place where Quazira will prove its use of funds with a paper trail consisting of receipts, progress reports, and government logs.

Temporary Funding Exemptions: Proposed by Vaikujar, this proposal states that exemptions for mandatory funding for member nations is possible. Member nations in times of crisis, economic downfall, or other national tragedy are some of the qualifying conditions for exemptions for member states. To earn this exemption, which exempts a member state from having to pay mandatory contributions to existing funds, a member must apply for the status to be reviewed and debated. The Imperial Marshal and related (Economic, Military, etc.) Marshals can approve of, cancel and determine the time limits of these exemptions at their own discretion (deliberation with opposing or supporting representatives included, of course); otherwise, a majority vote by member states is required.

Free Tax Zones Inside Quazira: Proposed by Quazira, this proposal designates tax-free areas for Imperion only members and certain important Industries (eg. heavy industry) within Quazira to make sure that this industry is at least partly controlled by trusted partners/Imperion member states. While operating inside these zones, Imperion companies operate without taxation on business operations and find their operations supported by the government through similar actions. More can be discussed on this proposal by the Quazira representative.

Economic Immigration Benefits: Proposed by Quazira, Imperion would connect member nations economies with less restrictions for workers from other members of the Imperion (eg. formulas in the language of the home nation, all formulas can be filled out in the embassy within the home nation etc...). The process of work visas are made easier, restrictions on workers is alleviated, and Imperion members citizens are prioritized over other applicants.

International Projects and Organizations: Proposed by Quazira, Imperion member states will fund and take part in international projects based on economic and technological aspirations. This includes but is not limited to space programs, technological innovations, manufacturing hubs, and other beneficial economic projects. Organizations made up of member nations personnel will be created to handle and maintain these projects. Such organizations and projects shall be established according to member votes, or Marshal(s) decrees.

Imperion Passport Crest: Proposed by TECT as a counter to a proposal not strong enough to make it to the agenda. IPC enacts a mutual agreement between all member states that all citizens passports will now come with a special printed crest (security coated and such) that signifies this person is a citizen of the Imperion Coalition. Having this crest will be the prime evidence that a citizen can be granted provisions under earlier stated proposals mentioned, such as jobs in tax free zones and benefits. To ensure this crest exits in all member states it will be mandatory additions to all passports from the point it passes and all responsible governmental agencies/branches/organizations responsible for passport issuing will issue said crest on all new passports. Existing passports will need to be updated to have the said crest on them if the user wants the benefits of it. To alleviate the cost of doing this, Imperion will set up a fund to slash government costs of updating passports.

IFC Embargo: Proposed by TECT with minor member support, this proposal seeks to make a point of protest and dissidence towards the ever growing dictatorial ran organization known as the International Freedom Coalition, the Imperion Coalition will begin by officially condemning the Prime Minister who has taken over the IFC through the use of a coup d'etat; removing their council's authority by using OOC OP status to threaten member and Moderation Team intervention, run-arounds of their laws and practices (OOC and IC tactics), and deliberate confrontational attitude with debaters and opposition in an uncompromising behavior. As we are not democracies by nature we care little that said foreign coalition chooses democracy or a form of dictatorship in general sense, whether it undergoes a coup or operates as intended had little to officially do with Imperion; however, having members inside or previously part of the IFC, and having various connections to partners who are directly affected by this organization, it is felt that the Imperion Coalition must voice its disdain by said Government Head's actions against its own members and the OOC community. Imperion has a duty to represent and protect member interests as well as monarchies and empires around the globe; as such, the Imperion Coalition shall protect member interest and the Imperion's security by isolating and sufficating the International Freedom Coalition, and its dictator, until a time seen unnecessary. It is hereby proposed that a full-scale embargo against ALL member states of the IFC (including the organization itself) is to commence - this shall include all economic and diplomatic relationships and connections. IFC members chose its bed when they had their elections, it should realize it has to lay in it too, whether some want to or not. Isolation and suffocation shall be our tool for implementing our desired changes. The following proposal enacts the following policies:

• The IFC, its member states, and its Prime Minister (2ria) are under a full scale embargo. All economic activity is to be shut down between Imperion member nations and IFC member states. Any existing agreements between the Imperion Coalition and IFC are suspended indefinitely and member nation based agreements are at the very least aligned for immediate suspension. The end goal is total embargo of all IFC members and the organization itself. Businesses such as storefronts are included in this embargo.
• Diplomatic missions, including embassies, are put into question and investigation. Leaving up to individual members to decide their fates with the Imperion suggestion to terminate missions until the embargo is ended. An open forum is encouraged as is a total suspension to diplomatic relations until the embargo has ceased.
• IFC members are to be investigated in Imperion nations with the assistance of other members and Imperion organizations. All assets found are to be collected and confiscated by member states; up to debate is whether revenue from confiscated goods/currency/items is used to profit the member nation who confiscates or the Imperion itself. Confiscations includes for monetary funds in storage, stock, valuables, vehicles, goods, and other possible assets among other property. It is this proposal's suggestion that said confiscated good revenue goes toward the Imperion's Treasury (the funds could go to one of our proposed funds for example), or, to be donated to the Imperion Treasury so that it can be dispersed evenly to each member.
• Denial to Imperion waters, EEZ, airspace, and other territories/markets; this includes ships and planes belonging to trading companies, diplomatic vessels, and illegal transports/vessels/planes not authorized to pass through Imperion Coalition territory. Military forces belonging to IFC members are prohibited indefinitely with high prejudice. The use of military, police, and security forces is encouraged with full support from Imperion Coalition forces/Reaction Forces; such forces are encouraged for the protection of member nation territories and EEZs - law enforcement for embargo runners is also supported. To combat mentioned embargo runners, or those who attempt to sneak through embargoes using such strategies as false identification and proxy sales, the ITA and member nation law enforcement forces will establish guidelines to counter such illegals. This includes providing information, training, guides on spotting and countering such piracy, and instilling the proper responses.

• The option for member nations to request exemption to these set of embargo policies. Not every nation can agree to this, or may wish to proceed with this proposal especially. To achieve exemption a nation must (A) be in a position of great economic endangerment to reduce partners that Imperion members cannot fulfill, (B) have too close of ties to cut away such ties to IFC member states, or (C) you are a dual member of the IFC and cannot afford to follow such a proposal at this time.
• On exemptions, dual members are exempted from all embargo policies who are member states of the Imperion Coalition. Observer states are encouraged to follow our embargo policy but cannot be forced to follow along. Client States cannot request exemption if the proposal reaches decree or is majority voted into decree; their only way to achieve exemption is for failure of portions of the embargo or the loophole of being a dual member state.
• In interest of counteracting and creating opposition to the IFC, the Imperion Coalition shall begin making an effort to establish relationships with offshoots/successor organizations (as seen by Imperion Intelligence as opposition forces) of the IFC. As it stands, the Alliance of Democratic States is the only current organization of this nature - an upcoming alliance yet to be established will also follow. In order to create a beneficial relationship that profits both sides, the Imperion Coalition shall do the following: Establish ambassadorial relations that include having ambassadors representing each organization in the other's halls, creating a sense of communication and understanding through the use of proper IC and OOC channels (both behind doors and in the open), opening channels for agreements on international relations including things like trade agreements and diplomatic relations, and general improvement of relationships between Imperion member nations and opposition born organizations. The goal of this measure is not aimed at improving relations with democracies alone - although mutual relationships on good terms equals benefits to both parties, namely the Imperion and its members. The set goal of this measure is to support recognized successors and assist opposition to the IFC, increasing the pressure on said organization while supporting its opposition elements inside its ranks and in like minded opposition outside IFC membership. Overall, the mission of this measure is to isolate the IFC further while supporting opposition movements within and outside IFC ranks - providing what mutually beneficial policies and diplomatic support we can allow.
• (This is just for notes, this point is not part of the original proposal) In recognition of the coup, the centralization of full control, and the numerous occasions of communist manifestos - in all official channels and references, the International Freedom Coalition shall now be referenced as the International Communist Coalition. After dedicated research and steady observation, the IFC has officially undergone a communist coup. It has come to our attention that many socialist and communist policies including fixing economic activity, centralized authority in the form of central party rule, and single party dictatorship (enforced by ejections, demagoguery, and shut-out of opposition) have left the former IFC into a failed organization no different then a communist's regime. Among the changes to recognition of identity include official titles, government officials (for example, the prime minister shall henceforth be known as Comrade Primer), and members being referenced as "Warsaw Pact" members. This policy is aimed at identifying the former IFC as it truly is - a former freedom based organization that is now ran by a communist single party regime after an out-of character coup.

---

This is the current list of topics everyone. If you have a proposal or wish to add/amend a current one please feel free to make said suggestions here. Otherwise, leave the debating on them for when we actually have the IC summit.

I will probably get started making the thread around tomorrow. If I can manage to start tonight I will but there is no guarantee I will have the energy or time. Once I have something of a plan of things I will be sure to present it.

[Common Territories]

Okay guys. I got my plate cleared up finally and now it's Summit time! At the moment the planning is pretty basic but for those who have not been on chatzy in a while let me explain the basics I mentioned there and the items I am currently working on now. Also, as an aside, I made a quick signature tag located in the IC OP for anyone wanting to use it; I highly suggest using it and customizing it around to suit your tastes/position, and your membership status. So long as the Imperion portion remains untouched it should be fine

Back on topic.

First of all, this summit shall be the "1st Imperion Coalition Economic Summit". Our next summit, the "1st Imperion Coalition Military Summit" will be at a later time; do notice the naming scheme indicating which type and number the summit is. Anyways, the summit will be a week long starting from a selected Monday until Friday (IC) - Saturday and Sunday are reserved just in case we need additional times, and, for your representatives/leaders to vacation/party on our dime . Mon-Fri fits the schedule perfectly actually because schedule is perfectly outfitted with two proposals per day except Friday; Friday's proposal, the IFC Embargo proposal, is more in-depth so if we need it that extra time will do. The schedule will be located bellow but first I want to explain where, what, and how to do this.

The summit shall be located in Insel State, TECT (on this map, it's the set of moderately sized islands in the bottom right. The capital city is on the largest island located second to the top from the left-hand side); Insel, literally Island, is predominantly an oceanic climate with an even amount of rainfall throughout the year. Our summit site shall be a luxurious resort rented out for us in the capital city, Breitbarth. Breitbarth is located along a natural bay and river delta, as is our resort which is along the water; the city is iconic for long stretches of beaches, city skyline along the coast, and its industrious port further north of the city. Your guests have two options of arrival, passenger/private boats which takes probably a good week from the mainland to arrive (that being around 18 knots speed), or, passenger plane/private plane which would probably take 3 something days from the mainland depending on your route (you gotta stop for refueling and travel to the islands which are secluded, so a few days of travel depending on where you start would probably be your best bet). You can choose which way you arrive since all guests will arrive relatively the same time (Sunday before the start on Monday). Your two arrival points are Breitbarth International Airport or Breitbarth International Dockyard (it's near the city where commercial/passenger ships arrive, tons of civilian and non-industry ships docked there, come and go, and live there on boat homes). A private car with resort representatives will be awaiting for all guests to take them to the resort (the resort partners with a luxury private transport company, so you'll be able to use them throughout the thread if you wish); please do not bring vehicles other then private planes or boats that will be parked in private spaces. Once all guests arrive they will be greeted to a pleasant and luxurious welcoming party and can choose to attend or go back to your suite for the rest of the night. Monday morning sharp the summit will begin. Our summit schedule is as follows:

Monday: After Breakfast at 8am, the summit begins with introduction of the Imperion Domestic Aid Fund Proposal, deliberation, and moving on to the Imperion Trade Agency & Trade Regulations Proposal for introduction and deliberation. Session ends at 6pm.

Tuesday: After Breakfast at 8am, the summit begins with introduction of the Tariff Act Proposal, deliberation, and moving on to the Imperion Arms Fund Proposal for introduction and deliberation. Session ends at 6pm.

Wednesday: After Breakfast at 8am, the summit begins with introduction of the Temporary Funding Exemptions Proposal, deliberation, and moving on to the Economic Immigration Benefits Proposal for introduction and deliberation. Session ends at 6pm.

Thursday: After Breakfast at 8am, the summit begins with introduction of the International Projects and Organizations Proposal, deliberation, and moving on to the Imperion Passport Crest Proposal for introduction and deliberation. Session ends at 6pm.

Friday: After Breakfast at 8am, the summit begins with introduction of the IFC Embargo Proposal, deliberation, and closing session by 6pm latest.

Saturday-Sunday Unless altered to accommodate extended sessions, Sat-Sun are free days for guests to vacation.

To explain the process a little bit, proposals will be brought up and read outloud by the TECT Rep. (he acts as speaker in this case); your delegates wont be surprised since they've had copies of the proposals for weeks prior to this, and, should have written out reports on them in front of you. From there were deliberate, discuss, and propose amendments or retractions in said proposals. If you think something should be added, for your country for example, go right ahead and make your case. If you think a proposal is a subject you disagree with then make your case why it should not pass. Now naturally this is just a forum for improving or discarding proposals - if we, the TECT delegation, see that a proposal is overwhelmingly passing with no opposition, we'll likely call it a day and have it sent as a decree, passing it. Of course I don't want to rob people of adding stuff or stating their opposition - however you wish to affect the proposal please do so. As for RL time we spend on a proposal, I will decide when it's time to move on - I'll make a final IC warning before it for any last minute decisions and then call for a vote if needed. Im hoping we can have a good dialog on each proposal, trying to influence benefits to our own nations and better the Imperion Coalition

I think other then that, security is the last topic to address. I ask your security detail be no more then 10 people, armed with one pistol and basic melee at most, and no overly aggressive security stuff. Security will be provided by myself, of course. The Insel Islands are home to the 28th Guardsmen Division (which are similar to this unit) who will be providing overall security for the Summit; not to mention marine and navy units close by (the state is home to plenty of marines and naval forces) who can respond, not to mention police forces. TECT is a very safe country so security should not be your first concern.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask. I will be writing up the IC thread soon based on this information here.

Remnant-paid terrorists attack Summit and take delegates hostage?

Im assuming you posted this before I just finished the edits.

They'd be going up against Guardsmen Division forces with a vast amount of air, ground, and naval support. These glorified Military Police/Infantry are brutal monsters that eat terrorists like children eat candy

You can try, but you'd not like the military response and our terrorist retaliation

BTW, did you want to attend too URA? Im on the fence about letting observers attend but if you want to I'd probably let them come.

Hm. Nah. It's the first summit. It should be reserved for membership only, to keep things streamlined and on topic.

Especially since every summit my nation goes to, they just end up trying to insert and push their own agenda by any means necessary. There's just one exception to that rule.

Also. I guess I'll wait a few summits, see if anyone's guard gets let down before I take hostages with the intent of there being no survivors.

Well we'll see about that security concern. Security is kinda our top priority so don't hold your breath

Please do not post there yet as the thread itself is still not complete on my side. But know we are close to the start and if you have anything you want to share about the thread let me know here or on TG.

So since some people came to me in recent time talking about joint operations for expansion/invasions/etc., I'd like to point out potential thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=371409

Any Imperion members expressing interest in setting up a Feng Colony Authority?

[Ascium]

This seems interesting, hmmm to join or not to join

Well let me know when you're serious about giving a solid answer then. At the moment im not terribly impressed with your post history; granted I do know who you are/I remember you. I'd like to hear more about your nation and see an actual application before I made any sort of answer, but like I said im not terrible impressed with your actual military based writing. Most of the writing I see is character driven fantasy stuff. Granted im not demanding the most perfect of war fighters anymore (im alright with people just fitting the basic mold and have some skill in terms of writing in general) but the last orbat I saw in your history was quite dreadful in my honest opinion. I have no problem with helping, as im sure anyone here should be, but I have to ask if you did join you'd be put to high standards in terms of improving. But I'd have to actually see an app before making a final judgement. At the moment, without one, I'd say it's a denial.

So my nation has a rather large silver deposit recently discovered about 4km East of our Skreen Mt. Range and would like a foreign company to extract it to sell it to our gov't. I will want to RP out the negotiations (a week ICly) to build a real business nail biter
