National Population (RP): 1,467,483,381
Form of Government: Federal Republic
Is your Government by the people?: In most cases, yes.

Brief History of your nation: The GRCS has its roots in the 1995 election of Gabriel Drake to the presidency of the United Remnant Avtarkiya and the subsequent revival of the Remnant economy and national consciousness.

Over the next quarter-decade, Nongea, Canaam, Namavar, and Modeno all joined the GRCS as well, either voluntarily, or through political, economic, or military pressure. At this time, the GRCS is currently in the process of consolidating the various cultures, economies, and military forces while those same differences threaten to stagnate or even dissolve the nation that has spent 25 years attempting to become a regional power.

Got a few things that need clarification:
1. What exclusions apply when referring to the Right to Equality?
2. What are the restrictions to "Freedom of Expression?"
3. What are the restrictions on "Freedom from Arbitrary Detention?"

1. A certain ethnicity has been banned wholesale from the country and will be detained and deported to literally anywhere else upon being discovered. Also, as such, while some of the cults say they're a religion, they're violent cults and don't get to be treated equally on the grounds of religion.
2. Referring back to the cults, you can express your beliefs up until you start harvesting another person's organs or mutilating people who didn't ask for it.
3. I guess, upon reflection, it's not an "arbitrary" detention if you're a suspected cultist, terrorist, or -insert banned ethnicity here-, it it?

Aight, reapping Kannap because even though I'm already a member, I've been doing a lot of nation building recently and I'm certain - if nothing else - my RP population and military numbers are much lower than in my original application.

Wait. Ethnicity or nationality?

Because Azens caused the worst coordinated terrorist attack in the history of the GRCS, and they were such a relatively small population already that it was fairly easy to tell them that they all had to go anywhere else just as long as they didn't stick around.

Then we told them and their friends not to come back. Ever.

Terrorism problem solved.

**IFCAPP**


Hello IFC Applicant Oskenia, you’ve sent in an incomplete application. Here’s the questions you missed:
1. Is your government by the people?
2.What is the reason for your nation joining the IFC?
3. Do you agree to abide by the terms and conditions set forth under the Charter in IFC legislation?
Answer these three questions and resend your application so it can be properly reviewed.

On a different note, some members show some apprehension on your prospective delegate to the IFC. Most of this apprehension is based on the age of your foreign minister, and how realistic it is to have a 17 year old male decisions at an alliance level, not to mention a supposed lack of experience that only comes with age and higher education.

1. Is your government by the people?
2.What is the reason for your nation joining the IFC?
3. Do you agree to abide by the terms and conditions set forth under the Charter in IFC legislation?
Answer these three questions and resend your application so it can be properly reviewed.

On a different note, some members show some apprehension on your prospective delegate to the IFC. Most of this apprehension is based on the age of your foreign minister, and how realistic it is to have a 17 year old male decisions at an alliance level, not to mention a supposed lack of experience that only comes with age and higher education.

Oh Lord okay I misunderstood. I thought you were asking my personal age lol.
I'll fix the missed questions, sorry for the confusion. I was running on coffee and zero sleep the night I wrote that. My apologizes.

So as far as I know, there isn’t an application for observership in the IFC. I’ll talk to my colleagues about your request and we’ll get back to you very shortly. We’ll probably formalize an application to boot.

EDIT: No Ed, you’re not going to be an observer.

Alright, you’ve yet to answer the final question regarding abiding by IFC rules as outlined in the charter.
Also you can just write something as an RP example to see what your writing style is like. It doesn’t need to be a link or anything. You can write a few paragraphs or whatever in the application.

Finally, why would we want to know your age? Kinda weird.

It's a decision made by the membership due to continued issues you have caused within the role playing community. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean that we're going to change our minds.

Now, if you continue to ask after we have given you this decisive NO, I will use my OP powers to ban you from the thread.

So, we're up again. I'm gonna submit a new application altogether to reflect my renewed stats.

Also, since I split into the KY and GD continuities, which continuity should I apply into IFC?

GD is, well, GD. Palmyrion-GD refers to the Palmyrian continuity in Greater Dienstad. (Let's not get into the ramble between SACTO and GD.. That would only be an unproductively messy thing.) KY is an RP group that Cuscy is thinking of forming composed of deeply flawed states. Palmyrion-KY refers to the Palmyrian continuity in Cuscy's proposed RP group, and is a much more dystopian version of Palmyrion-GD.

Palmyrion-GD's stats are in IIWiki, but Palmyrion-KY's stats are roughly as follows:
  • Population: 320 million
  • Nominal GDP: $3.2 trillion (GDPPC of $10,000)
  • PPP-adjusted GDP: $4 trillion (GDPPC of 12,500)
  • Military and defence
    • Budget, FY2020: $160 billion (nominal; PPP-adjusted may be higher*)
    • Personnel: 1,600,000

In other news I plan on getting a new thread up soon about the fight for influence in a corrupt island nation, if any of y'all are interested.

Palm your country better be stable this time around, you can’t just have tons of terror attacks going on all the time. Also we’ll probably discuss canon stuff later.
