The League of Imperial Nations (MT/PMT)

[Machina Haruspex]

The League of Imperial Nations
Peace Through Imperial Firepower

The League is a Brotherhood of Nations who seek to impose Order over the Chaos that is the world current. In the state of the worlds vast we are witnessing most profound social change. Whether in the East or the South, the West or the North, hundreds of billions of people, new nations and states, new public movements and ideologies have moved to the forefront of history. Broad-based and frequently turbulent popular movements have given expression, in a multidimensional and contradictory way, to a longing for independence, democracy and social justice. The idea of democratizing the entire world order has become a powerful sociopolitical force.

At the same time, the scientific and technological revolution of the past century has both created and eliminated many problems in the areas of economics, agriculture, energy, environmentalism, the dissemination of information and the growth of the body politic. These issues, previously restricted to the realm of individual domestic debate, have morphed into matters which have the power to influence the entire globe due to the advent of mass media and numerous innovations in the area of transportation. Now, more than any period in the past history of the world, the emergence of a global community of interconnected citizens is fast approaching reality.

Yet in this new era of enlightenment and progress, the evils of the past haunt us still. War - famine - pestilence - genocide; all signs that mankind is not yet ready to embrace her destiny. To prepare the world for its eventual transcendence, the League of Imperial Nations is formed to establish a new world order in the hope that one day, mankind may live in peace with his fellow man.

Re: Imperial Military Alliance

Honoured sirs,

In the interest of continued cooperation between our two nations, the Imperial Government has decided to dispatch a request of joining your Imperial Military Alliance, in order that we can both stand stronger still within the wider world.

The Imperial Government of Tagmatium would to ask that the Greater Holy Empire joins within more of trading role, allowing other members of the alliance access to the economic market of Tagmatium, rather than as a full military member.

As such, the Imperial Government would be willing to come to the aid of the other members of the alliance, as well as take part in military exercises and war games, but Tagmatium also expects some degree of autonomy within its affairs – we expect to be allowed to pursue our own interests independently of the rest of the IMA, so long as these interests do not conflict with that of the IMA.

These requests may well be outside the bounds of the IMA for it to accept, in which case the Imperial Government may well be convinced to alter some of them, although there are some points that Tagmatium will not budge upon.

Minister for Foreign Affairs of

Re: Imperial Military Alliance

The role of trade is an established need and has yet to be fully addressed beyond a few of the members. A purely trade related nation within the Alliance will bolster not only the primary nation's economy, but also others of this alliance.

Therefore in the interest of those who are members and those who may follow, your application to be amongst the IMA is accepted as are the terms. It is noted that such is mandatory within the IMA unless a nation opts for that of the Protectorate status, in which case the the Alliance plays a more active role of beauracy.

The role of your nation in wargames, training exercises and so forth is also a good idea. It will will enable The Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium to reflect on new ideas, and to put forth it's own in order to build the strength of the Alliance on the whole.

Katsuya Valk Zun

[Machina Haruspex]

In accordance with the types of nations that have joined our alliance, the IMA has undergone a name change, to that of the, The League of Imperial Nations. This reflects the majority of nations that are apart of our alliance, as they are some form of imperialism or another.

We are interested in other nations seeking to become apart of us and will be instituting several other ideas into the whole of the charter and the group as well.

[Ser Di Haruk]

In accordance with the military forces of Ser Di Haruk, we are willing to offer and host a series of wargames between our allies to better prepare us for any actual hostilities. We were thinking of calling it the League Military Training Event or LMTE.

Perhaps twice a year, this event could take place to familiarize the militaries of the League with one another, so that if there is a crisis, we can work seamlessly together to handle whatever said crisis may be.

Why do you want to join?: to gain friendly relations with nations

Which aspect of the league do you wish to have your nation apart of?:
Trade Member [X ]
Trade as it entails, allows you a discounted rate of logistics in moving product between allied nations, and possibly discounts on said products between yourself and whomever you are dealing with. This is up to each nation on arrangements.

Military Member [ ]
Being a military member nation is to take up the responsibility of both defending the all league member nations, as well as yourself, but also to represent the league with honour and distinction.

Military member nations recieve discounts(via select corporations, ask please) to military hardware, advanced training, and share in joint military establishments in key areas to the trade routes for it's protection as well as offensive staging points should member nations have hostile actions taken against them.

Protectorate Member [ ]
Protectorate nations are often those who are either a developing nation, or that which is rebuilding after some form of strife. Protectorates are mentored by larger nations, supplied with trade and armaments and protected until such time as they can stand on their own two feet, and waive the status to become full members of the alliance at a time of their choosing.

Protectorates often have their sponsor nations military in bases upon their own soil, furthering the training and equipping of their native armies. A perk to being a protectorate is that they are by status automatically both Trade and Military member nations

[Oryctolagus cuniculus]

To: The League
From: Commonwealth of Oryctolagus Cuniculus

To all League nations, with the arrival of the commonwealth's OAS Inc upon the international scene, we've decided to discount League nations up to twenty percent on products purchased from us.

Seeing as we are all allied for one purpose or another, be it militarily or for the purpose of trade, we should infact benefit from such an arrangement.

Furthermore, in the coming week, The Commonwealth wishes to hold a League summit. However, if you are not already familiar with us, please visit our travel brochure(factbook) for information. We can be a bit unsettling to some.

[Machina Haruspex]

Wargames between Ser Di Haruk and Renor Xukuth happened today.
After a grueling start between both nations, I am told that Ser Di Haruk pulled ahead to win in the urban conflict to come out ahead. Both sides experienced armor casualties, light vehicle losses, and were reduced to occassional air support, and heavy infantry engagements.
