Statement from Emperor Palatine
It is with great sadness that I announce the end of the LIN. The body of Charles Gwenith was never found and the LIN Quarters are a pile of ashes. Symbolic really, the LIN is a pile of ashes. Something so decorated, something so sacred, ruined. What I am about to say will probably cost me a large amount of popularity, but I must. Charles Gwenith's vision of a World Empire was a noble one, but right now is not the time for such a state. It was foolish of him to attempt such a transformation and it cost him his life.
I, as the Acting Supreme Minister of the LIN, hereby expel all members and otherwise and disband the organization. I hope that recent events do not have a negative impact on Orbis Romanorum's relations with the other nations involved with those events.
Signed,
Palatine Ricci
Supreme Imperator of Orbis Romanorum
Grand Protector of Atlantis X

The League of Imperial Nations (LIN)
On this day, we shall form a noble and grand league of the supreme nations of the world. A league with its own laws and regulations, regulations fit for the Holy and Imperial people of this world. This shall be such a league that will stand strong when adversity stikes from within or without. As a member of the Collaboration of Allied Governments (CAG), this league would like to to extend a friendship to them and the other international organizations of the world.
The purpose of such a grand and noble league is an economic, political, and militaristic one. By joining, you shall contribute to this league and benefit from it ecenomically through a free trade agreement. We Imperial nations rule supreme politically because of our higher form of government and together, nothing will stop us and our political grandeur. Militarily, we shall reign supreme and defend our ideals through force of arms.
Any nation wishing to join the LIN needs to sign up on this thread and needs to follow the guidelines that I have provided in the spoiler below.
When partaking in this noble assembly, member nations (not observers and vassals) must propose resolutions for all matters except for elections and applications. Title resolutions as a Civic Resolution, Military Resolution, or Economic Resolution then give the details of that resolution which you propose. They will then be voted on by member nation delegates. Every member nation delegate receives one vote and in the case of a tie, the Supreme Minister has two votes in order to break that tie. Elections and resolutions requires at least one vote over half to pass. Resolutions are your creative playground.
The League of Imperial Nations may seem to have a "me against everyone else" attitude. This is not the case. We have a "we know that we are superior to you" attitude and we will use our power to meet our needs and wants at whatever costs necessary.
{OOC: Please do not OOC on this thread unless it concerns a resolution, election, or any other immediate or urgent assembly procedures. For anything non-urgent and unimportant, telegram me. However, if you must OOC on this thread, please delete it after your target has read it. Applications are now accepted on this page.}
