International Freedom Coalition
Hello members; I'm thrilled to announce the beginning of the bidding process for our new IFC capital city, seeing as our longtime Secretary General, Bratislav, has left the alliance and therefore invalidated our Musrum campus. Any full member of the IFC is free to submit an application, which will be filed and examined before an open and free vote in several days. Best of luck, and long live our proud coalition.
