We needed this, so I created it. No need to clog up the Assembly and Council threads with OOC.

Ooc: Did WARSAW ever decide officially their seat? I thought they still wanted to try a revote since the only two runners voted for themselves not trying to slow the process by any means but I don't want any misunderstandings to occur.


If the Warsaw peeps want to hold another vote I have no issue with that, but let's proceed with the business of the Covenant. The proper election results could be retconned in if necessary.

Pretty much, yes. Although it's more based off the League of Nations I believe.

So do I apply or is it assumed that everyone is a member already?

You'll need to apply in context... So I suppose your best bet is to speak to the Secretary General and state your intention to accede to the Charter of the Covenant.

We hope it will be more affective than either organization though.

We won't put someone on a boat and let them take three months to get to Japan, that's for sure.

Firstly calm down your signature.

Secondly, you'd need to petition the Assembly for membership. Best thing to do would be to send a statement to the Secretary-General (Beatrice), and ask her to bring it before the Assembly.

Those wishing to join the Covenant of Nations should post their interest here. I know a few are interested in joining but I'd like to have a list to go off so we can keep things organized and as called for by the Charter. Danke.

It is, thank you. We'll be glad to have you aboard, providing 2/3rds of the Assembly agrees.

Would it be possible for us to establish some OOC rules and guidelines for the Covenant? Because it simply won't function through a literal interpretation of the IC Charter. I suggest the following:

1. Votes on subjects should be set up by the Secretary-General after she deems debate to have ended, i.e. active debate has ceased.
2. Votes should last 24-48 hours
3. Votes that require unanimous consent should OOC'ly be defined as passing if there are no 'nay' votes.
4. RP situations that are coming under the concern of the Covenant should slow down, so that they all aren't over before a vote concludes.

I think these will make the Covenant an actually meaningful organization. We can't use the unanimous agreement rule in practice because nations are always disappearing.

Ok I wish to post my nation's interest to join the Covenant of Nations. The Federal Republic would probably send thier ambassador there to stipulate this fact.

So are there no objections to starting peace negotiations in Tristania? If not I'd like to go ahead and start them. I'm thinking a team of two mediators, one from Elpidia and one from the Secretary-General's office?
