[Federated Kingdom]

I'd like to swap the Federated Kingdom out for The Imperial Federation as a whole. Would that be okay?

Some resources I found a little interesting for future use.

Although guidelines exist, proper forms of address vary greatly from culture to culture. Be sure to check local customs, but a few general rules follow. The spirit of formality among diplomatic representatives usually means not addressing others by their first names as quickly as is done in the United States. One should rely on courtesy titles until invited to do otherwise. Socially, one can refer to a spouse by his/her first name or as "my husband" or "my wife" rather than as "Mr./Mrs. Smith." When dealing with household employees however, you should still refer to your spouse as "Mr. /Mrs. Smith."

Ambassadors are addressed as Mr. /Madam Ambassador or Ambassador Jones. Only by special invitation or long friendship should one address an ambassador by first name and then only when not in the public eye. In indirect address, refer to the ambassador as "the ambassador", with his/her spouse as "the ambassador and Mr. /Mrs. Jones," or if the ambassador's spouse is a woman who kept her maiden name after marriage, "the ambassador and his wife, Ms. Smith." An ambassador of the United States may continue to be addressed as "Mr. /Madam Ambassador" after retirement or after returning from his/her duties abroad. In some French-speaking countries, the wife of the ambassador may be referred to as Madam Ambassador. Therefore, in those countries, refer to a female ambassador by her last name (Ambassador Jones) to avoid confusion and ensure that she receives her due respect.

Those of rank below Ambassador are addressed as Mr., Ms. or Mrs., if marital status is known. When referring to a U.S. post, "the Embassy of the United States of America" is preferred over "the American Embassy." As references to America can be ambiguous, especially in the Western Hemisphere, avoid using terms such as "American ambassador" or "American citizen." Similarly, to be clear and to avoid offending others by suggesting that the U.S. constitutes the entire continent use "United States" in all references to this country.

[The Swiss Guardsmen]

I remember turning in an app a few weeks ago (back when CoN was slowing down in early November), but it may have been missed in all the flurry of activity to get the organization revitalized and running. I'll go ahead and drop it again below for the group's consideration!


Application to the Council of Nations
RP Name: The Holy Pontifical Union of Astavia
NS Name: The Swiss Guardsmen, or "Swiss" for short
Native Name: Svēti Papinsko Sávek Astáviz
Demonym: "Astavian"

Incidents with Moderation: One incident back in '09 for careless gravedigging. What can I say? I was a rebel back then.
RPs that we could intervene in: None at the moment, but there might be a few in the coming weeks.

[Chkalovsk II]

I think we should do the balloting for SAC + Directory in one go to make it easier.

[Laeuwen]

Application to the Council of Nations
RP Name: Laeutchia
NS Name: Laeuwen
Native Name (optional): Laeuwen

Application to the Council of Nations
RP Name: Alakaad
NS Name: Alakaad
Native Name (optional): Alakaad

RPs that we could intervene in: Wars, Sports, basically all of them

Going to do everyone a favour and deny this even though I dont have the power to.

Why?
