The Stalwart Syndicate (OOC/Sign-up Area)
Posted: Tue Oct 05, 2021 10:04 amThe Stalwart Syndicate
The Stalwart Syndicate of French-Kowloon-Meretican Cooperation serves as a major line of defense for democracy, civil rights, freedom, and national sovereignty. Members of the Syndicate work as economic, military, and political allies for the betterment of civilized society. The Syndicate encourages international cooperation but urges all member nations to stick to their political and philosophical beliefs as those with no beliefs have little chance of surviving the cruel, wicked game of international diplomacy.
The Stalwart Syndicate stands opposed to alliances and organizations that attempt, by dubious means, to compel or coerce nations to support the creation of an international treaty, group, or alliance. Many such organizations are created with the attempt to either publicly or privately control politics, economics, or policies within a region or nation. Organizations that prove to be particularly tenebrous or obscure shall be asked to adopt policies supporting transparency. Member nations are expected to be relatively transparent with their populace; the Syndicate does, however, understand that certain things are matters of national security that ought not to be released to the masses.
The Stalwart Syndicate stands opposed to the spread of blatant falsehoods, also referred to as lies. The sharing of falsified information is a great detriment to international security and has, on more than one occasion, led to great harm among international diplomatic groups. The intentional spreading of falsified information shall lead to immediate punishment within the Syndicate; the accidental spreading of falsified information shall also lead to punishment, though less severe. Opinions and facts are two different things. Opinions are based firmly on facts, philosophy, and (occasionally) speculation; they are fully informed.
The Stalwart Syndicate acknowledges the existence of other global alliances, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), for holding similar goals to the Syndicate. The Syndicate is proud to share common interests with other alliances and hopes to eliminate tyranny wherever it may exist.
There are certain requirements to be considered eligible to join the Stalwart Syndicate. These are included but are not limited to:
➡Functioning democratic political system
➡Active promotion of national sovereignty, liberty, civil rights, and freedom
➡A minimum of 2% of a nation's GDP spent on defense funding
➡Willingness to protect trading rights with member nations
➡Willingness to defend member nations from attacks
There are also certain benefits to being in the Stalwart Syndicate. These are included but are not limited to:
➡Trade discounts among member nations
➡Mutual defense agreements
➡Eased political tensions between member nations
For new nations to be admitted to the Stalwart Syndicate, two out of the three founders (Meretica, the Republic of France, and New Kowloon Bay) must approve of any submitted applications. If a nation is denied admittance, the founders shall specify their reasoning and provide clarification if needed.
