Fraternité des Nations Francophones (Sign up/Interest)

[Terre des Gaules]

How would Quebec's membership operate in the FNF? Full member? Associate?

Not sure. I suppose Associate would work. We hadn't really established a level between member and observer until considering it now.

Accepted. As for the Franc, that could be tricky. Not everyone wants a strong, centralized economic bond. Even if we did adopt some regulated universal currency, it probably wouldn't supplant each nation's own currency. Kind of like how the UK has always used both the Pound and Euro, among other European nations.

Yeah, an economic union is not going to fly with us, because the current Princess would never allow that. Same reason that we're not in the EU even though our neighbors (France and Italy) are.

I suggest that the Fraternité should be a purely cultural and linguistic alliance, similar to the real-life Francophonie or Commonwealth of Nations. Its primary mission would be to promote the French language and culture around the world, in ways that are relevant to today's generations:

• Sports competitions. They can be single sport, like a soccer cup or a racing grand prix, or multi-sport like the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.
• Music festivals. The Fraternité could have its own band, with musicians from member nations. As well as song contests open to all members.
• Food festivals. Because French food is awesome, so why not spread the love?
• International expos. To showcase the literary, cultural, scientific, and technological achievements of Francophone nations.

The best part is that all of these generate money (ticket sales, refreshments, souvenirs), so the activities of the Fraternité can be partially self-funding and less costly for member states.

Amen to that!

Looks good. Accepted.

I have changed my mind about disbanding the Fraternite, as of earlier this summer. I am not ready to quit, but I also still can't invest a lot of time into this. Not sure what I'm going to do, but I think we can do something more of IC canon and not worry so much about RPing this group. Also, I don't think we should merge with the Francosphere Council. He's not doing anything with that.

Anyway, if you're still interested, contact me or post here. Maybe we will do some sort of treaty or trade pact and be done with it.

[Diarcesia]

Can administrative divisions apply? Diarcesia itself is not Francophone, but one of its countries is.

Edit my answer to yes. No reason why not. Go ahead and fill out the app. Just realize that it will only be an IC org and likely won't be any RP to come out of it.

[Terre des Gaules]

Yep, looks good. Just be sure to take into account my response to Diarcesia, in the post above yours. This still holds true.

We tried getting a more tangible organization together and couldn't really get anyone motivated to do much else beyond filling out an app. So, for now, it remains more IC/canonical than anything.

*confusion intensifies*

Yes, United New France is definitely french, but so is SKM - the native language of 'Indus' isn't even used as much as French, despite both being very similar...

What is confusing?

I'll make it simple:

Oh, thank you! Now I hope we can strengthen this alliance together!

Just to make clear. The above still stands. If you are a Francophone nation and would like to claim membership in the organisation, feel free to do so.
