CUSP, For Colonial Nations to Band together.

[Lacienia]

Colonial nations are often seen as the bad guys and as such are targeted quite frequently in wars and other conflicts. We aren't, this is a stereotype. There may be a few bad apples, but a lot of us are just nations who happen to posses colonies. Because of this large problem, we colonial powers need to band together and hold the line against these so called Liberators. That is why I made CUSP or Colonial Union for Security and Preservation.CUSP is a military, economic, civilian, and political alliance designed to keep colonial powers secure and preserved. We will not fall to the same fate so many of our fellow powers have, we will stay strong! We will stick together! Join CUSP if that is what you feel is best.

Requirements to join CUSP:
-Be a colonial power.
-Be non racist or anti-semitic. (OOC: causes trouble with mods and other players)
-Be willing to fight for our cause.
-Have an organized government capable of international relations.
-Be independent and not a puppet of another nation.
-Have at least one colony that you have been in possession of for more than fifty years.
-Have at least three major colonies.

CUSP was founded in 1974 by the Federation of Lacienia to maintain our way of life after a series of colonial uprisings occurred across the globe in 1962. CUSP is based out of Paradeem, the mountainous capital of Lacienia and the hub of our colonial sphere. The headquarters of CUSP is known as the Crystal mountain as it is carved into a limestone cliff and a massive bullet-proof glass facade was erected on the cliff-face.
(Below is the CUSP headquarters)

The headquarters has a spacious lobby for admission to the building.

We have a boardroom for more private discussions between ambassadors.

In addition, we provide offices for your ambassadors.

We also provide suites for your ambassadors.

Wes-hale!

Colonialists are indeed seen as the "bad guys", as you say, but not unjustly as you insist. You say that there are only "a few bad apples" and that most of you "just [...] happen to posses [sic] colonies" when this is in fact a self-contradictory statement. It is possessing colonies, subjecting those colonised peoples to your rule against the basic principles of self-determination, that makes you the foe.

Furthermore, your headquarters is an affront to architecture. Your lobby is not welcoming but empty, devoid of the necessary atmosphere to make a room welcoming. It even lacks a hearth. I would not be caught dead sitting in one of the chairs in your boardroom, and the back pains they must cause are hardly punishment enough for your deeds.

Wes-hale!

You would need every colonialist in the world on your side to stand strong against us Nehmans.

But if you believe you can prove otherwise I offer you a challenge - have your country's, say, five (or we can do ten if you require) most distinguished champions 'duel' (or whatever a 5 or 10 v 1 is) me personally. I am sure we can find some neutral ground where it can be done. And we will see if even five (or ten) of your warriors can challenge one Nehman.

We decline this duel as it serves no purpose .And I am going to have to have to have security escort your delegate out of the building.

OOC: This is an application thread. We can diverge in small amounts like. IC debates. but not duels. If you would like a duel, challenge us to one in the misc rp thread.

⠀ The People's Federation of Reinkalistan Open Communication Sent on behalf of the Commissariat of the Exterior. Authorised by the Commission for Political Loyalty. 8ᵀᴴ OCTOBER 2020 COMMISSAR LAKERSK TURNOV TO: THE COLONIAL UNION FOR SECURITY AND PRESERVATION To whomever it may concern, Regarding the recent establishment of the C.U.S.P., all proletarian nations of the world have looked on with horror as bare-faced, imperialist entities engage in a most horrific oppression of nations with the aid of their compradors. The P.F.R., as a herald of socialist light in the seemingly eternal darkness of revisionism, atheism, and neo-colonialism, has taken note of these developments. Following a period of discussion between the Central Committee and the Five Commissariats, the following provisions against all signatories of the C.U.S.P. have been authorised: The C.U.S.P. is condemned by the P.F.R.; no embassy shall exist between the P.F.R. and any member-state of the C.U.S.P., and no diplomatic recognition shall be extended to any member-state by the Exterior Commissariat. All member-states of the C.U.S.P. shall receive a full trade embargo. While it is not readily becoming of imperial states to step down from their colonial pedestals, it is the intention of these measures to ultimately maintain the message that capitalist exploitation of all kinds will not be tolerated by the P.F.R. for as long as it remains as a bulwark against such oppression. Yours Faithfully, L. Turnov

[Lacienia]

These sanctions will be noted and accepted.
