Welcome, to the future of diplomacy...
The International Congress of Nations, or I.C.o.N for short, was founded out of the ashes of three great diplomatic alliances. The nations found here, have thus made a commitment to rework the entire foundation of what is considered traditional diplomacy. Instead of simple meetings and agreements, there are permanent assemblies and laws, instead of bickering and bartering, there is discussion and debate, instead of being grounded to simple treatise and matters of international importance we look to actually better the nations whom decide to become a part of the organization-them willing, of course. We are united in our cause and our purpose, that of bettering the world, through education, social services, economic stability, aid, and recovery, environmental protection and equal rights. We support one another through solidarity of thought and action. All nations support the tenants before outlined, and it is through our pledge to strive to fulfill, unanimously, through every member nation, those tenants, that we prevail, that we flourish, and that we rewrite what has come to be known as; "the only way to do diplomacy." We write the future by changing the present, will you join us in that endeavor?...
