MISSION STATEMENT: The Axis Commonwealth is an Inter-National Alliance of like-minded nations that have came together to protect each other from foreign entities that threaten their safety and security. It was formed when the nations of Shazbotdom, Ganosia and The Dominion of PoF gathered together in a meeting within the Shazbotdom Capital of Shaz City and came to the agreement that would later become the Constitution of the Axis Commonwealth. The betterment of our member states on the International Scale is the main objective of our Alliance.

All are welcome to join, if you meet certain criteria that will be voted on by the Council of Founders (Until the Acceptance Committee is chosen) of the Axis Commonwealth. If you wish to know more, you may Telegram Shazbotdom with your questions. Feel free to fill out the Application Below:

The Head Offices of the Axis Commonwealth, known as Glendenhall Tower, is the brainchild of famous Shazbotdom Architect Randolf T. Nutrin. Originally designed to be the Corporate Headquarters for a Fortune 500 Company, the company decided that they wanted to open up shop in another Nation, thus the building was left empty for several years. With a total of 68 Floors above ground and Three Basement Parking Garages, it is among one of the largest buildings within the Colony of Shazbotdom Miroxia, located in the City of Chigo. Purchased by the Imperial Government under the pretense of opening up Colonial Offices, it's purpose was altered when the Axis Commonwealth came to be under the guidance of the nations of Shazbotdom, Ganosia and the Dominion.
This building holds the Offices of the various Founders on the top Three Floors, with a Conference Room for meetings with the Founders just below them. War Rooms have been set up for the various members of the Axis Commonwealth on lower floors as well as Offices for the Delegations from the Membership on the floors below the War Rooms. For Embassies with Alliances and Nations that wish to become friends of the Axis Commonwealth are on the lowest floors. The Helipad close to the upper floors is for the Delegation from the Founding Nations to arrive and leave without needing to go through the Entire Building.
There are three sets of Elevators within the building with two sets being to bring Delegations between the bottom floor and the upper floors where Membership are allowed. The third set is closest to the front of the Building and that is for the Alliances and Nations that are set as Friends of the Axis Commonwealth, with special passes handed out to those specified friends that allow them access to the upper floors with approval from the Founders. Petitions for Approval from the Founders to access the upper floors should be in writing 24 hours prior.

Shazbotdom:

The Empire of Shazbotdom is an economically powerful nation that houses some of the most brilliant minds of our generation. A leading developer of Hexadecimal based computer technology as well as tablets and cell phones that rival many other nations in style and flexibility, it has formed itself as a titan to be reckoned with. The Empire has a total of Four Colonial Possessions at its current state. The Empire has been seeking friendly relations with nations around the globe and has made many allies from the International Community.

Currently, the Empire has been in the market to expand its political influence throughout the globe by assisting nations in developing their economies and bringing stability to regions around the globe. Through this, the Empire teamed up with her allies of Ganosia and The Dominion of POF in creating this very alliance in the hopes that it would bring nations together in peace and assist in bringing good to the world.

Paddy O Fernature:

The Dominion of Paddy O Fernature is a thriving economic nation that prides itself on peaceful scientific endeavors and cultural advancement through personal freedoms. It's cities and architecture, are both technologically advanced and engineering marvels to lay eyes upon, as they are a combination of ancient design and modern eco-efficiency. Tall spires intertwine with polished stone and marble statues, while clean energy vehicles powered by hydrogen move in the shadows below the spires.

The people of the Dominion, are a proud people, who truly believe in a basic set of core values which help govern everyday decisions. While not generally quick to anger or make brash decisions, the populace is far from being pushovers, and will steadily stay the course in a cause that they believe in, often for years at a time.
