A proper IC discussion thread for the League of Mechanocracies, an inter-universal organization of states that recognize the superiority and efficiency of machines at governing nations. Member states and observers can send in their own representatives, which will then have a proper quality IC discussion about various topics concerning society, economics, politics, diplomacy, technology, warfare, blah blah blah, you name it. The aim of the establishment of such a serious IC thread is to exchange knowledge and ideological opinions on all sides, and, less importantly and OOC, let participants practice roleplaying skills at the diplomatic level. It can also, from the OOC side, allow members to exchange IRL ideologies and opinions via IC posts.
Brief about the Ringworld
Ringworld #256, proper name PTFS Void Space Ring-Structured Energy Self-Sufficiency and Development Installation #256, is a "ringworld" structure built by the PTFS as part of Project Backshield, a ring-shaped inhabitable structure built around a star. Finding that this installation's construction site, located in an universe with easy teleportation access (and thus more vulnerable to unwanted enemies across universes), would be even more useless than a colony in Singapore's original universe, it was converted into a site for diplomatic purposes. Now, it is fully dedicated to the cause of the League, being a structure under the LoM's name rather than Singapore's.
The ringworld is self-sufficient with a central energy source, the star it was built around. It supplies the thermonuclear energy required by the installation itself, and makes everything living on its surface towards the star. The installation is composed of a highly heat-resistant compound alloy frame that spans 1.3 gigametres wide. The inner surface towards the sun is an Earth/Terra/Sol III-like habitat with utopian levels of habitability, however, as some species do not breath oxygen, it is advised a gas mask with sufficient supply of species' own gas of choice be brought. The gravity is 0.85 times that of Terra/Earth/Sol III, and is strictly controlled at said level. It is completely stable, unlike what happens in the novel Ringworld, and the star is also stable for the moment and is unlikely to have any catastrophes happening. All fauna and flora found on the world are Earth/Terra-like, but we do apologize for the lack of uniqueness. There are even tribal civilizations developing on certain parts for sociology study purposes.
The vastness of the world is very distracting for formal discussions as we plan to hold, so, all representatives will be supplied with a teleporter, fully configurable and safe to use, to teleport to anywhere if necessary. For over-distance discussions there is also ranged hologram projectors that you can use at your will. It is advised however that all representatives stay in the Urban Complex where you are teleported in at first, however.
Representatives can just enter through any portal*/teleportation and will be redirected to the starting area by default. Please do not tamper with mechanics of local teleportation, as serious consequences may ensue. Be also sure to keep everything about the discussion topics.
*as per any nation, just start off by "XXX enters", no need for specification for technology.
