Hello Former Loyal GASN Members. I am debating restarting the organization with a few changes and i was wondering if there was any interest. Below is what was the Treaty of the GASN as it stood during the final weeks before it was dismantle by Cravan. If any of the former GASN Members could look over it, think for a little while, and get back to me with how to make the alliance a stronger one, please feel free to post here.
Please note that the two Amendments that were done to the charter are there, with Jolt here not being able to do a "strike out" text effect, I just deleted it out of the quote.
Introduction
Global Alliance of Sovereign Nations (from now on referred to as “GASN”) is an alliance meant to restore peace to war torn areas of the world, and is primarily a collective defense organization to protect its members against unwarranted aggression. It has a secondary purpose, however, of bringing member nations together in a bonding alliance of mutual assistance and friendship to promote national sovereignty and freedom.
The Points
GASN is based on three points, each of them just as important as the next.
Economic Point
The first point, the Economic Point, promises to open trade between member nations, and improve relations with other members through free and open markets. It is defined by the following terms:
1-1. All member nations open trade to one another, tariff free.
1-2. Economic aid will be given to the less fortunate member nations to assist them in their growth and development.
1-3. All economic ideologies are to be permitted.
1-4. Member nations are expected to respect copyright laws of other member nations, and are expected to respect the laws other nations may have regarding trade.
Military Point
The central point of the alliance is the Military Point. This point defines the purpose of the military, and the role it plays in GASN’s day to day activities. The military is the main part of the GASN’s purpose, and is thus defined by the following terms:
2-1a. All member nations are expected to assist other member nations in the event of unprovoked attack, either militarily or economically.
2-1b. In the event of a provoked attack or aggressive action, it is the member nation’s choice of whether or not to enter the conflict.
2-2a. Declarations of war on other members are not permitted, and a nation-nation internal GASN conflict will result in the expulsion of the aggressor from the GASN.
2-2b. Publicly assisting a nation who takes aggressive action against a member will result in permanent expulsion.
2-3. GASN will take part in combined peacekeeping operations when requested to intervene. Participation is optional.
2-4. All sanctioned GASN operations are to be headed by commanders from the four leading nations* and a lead commander, selected by the council and voted into office by the General Assembly each month. The requirements to be the lead commander are a strict RP review, a review of past relations with other nations, and a population of 1+ billion. Sanctioned operations are those agreed upon by the Governing Council and ratified by the General Assembly.
*See “Governing Council” below.
Humanitarian Point
The third and final point of GASN is the Humanitarian Point. The terms of this point deal with the treatment of citizens and civilians, along with humanitarian operations. They are as follows:
3-1. Maltreatment of one’s own citizens for unjustified purposes will result in expulsion from GASN, and will also result in economic sanctions against the offending nation.
3-2. Humanitarian aid will be given to all nations requiring it, no matter how large or small. This aid includes, but is not limited to:
A. Monetary aid
B. Food and Water Supply
C. Military Peacekeeper Protection
D. Educational Development
E. Construction of utilities, transportation systems, etc.
F. Technological Advancement
Membership Requirements
Requirements for membership in the GASN are as follows:
MR-1. No population or governmental restrictions.
MR-2. No maltreatment of citizens, prisoners, prisoners of war, ethnic groups, religions, or any other type of a breach of basic human rights. They must be given a decent standard of living, and given the basic needs a human being requires to survive.
MR-3. A standing military, no matter how small or large, and a willingness to defend member nations from unprovoked aggression.
MR-4. Ability to serve in all military operations deemed mandatory. Military operations will only be deemed mandatory in extreme circumstances.
MR-5. A grace period spanning two RL weeks where their RPing experience is put under review.
MR-6. Admission requires a majority approval from the General Assembly, with at least three votes procured from the Assembly. The vote will remain open until at least three votes are cast by members of the Assembly. If three or more votes are cast before the alotted three day voting period period, the vote will remain open until the time given for the vote to cease.
MR-7. Thorough background checks by the Foreign Relations council.
MR-8. No current conflicts which would force GASN members to war. A nation may request aid, but cannot become a member while at war. Said conflict must end first, whether or not GASN nations decide to assist.
MR-9. Approval by the governing council.
MR-10. A proven competence in RPing experience, as seen by the governing council.
Governing Council
There will also be a governing council of four nations, all of which are permanent. Three of these members will be appointed by the founding member, Cravan. However, they will be required to receive two nominations from member nations to qualify. Any of these three appointed nations on the governing council can be removed if the founding member and three other members (council or regular) agree. If the governing council agrees in a vote of 3/4, any member of GASN can be ejected without the ability to reapply assuming there is valid reason behind the ejection. The Founding Member may eject any regular member assuming valid reasoning is given. The Founding Member may also assume dictatorial controls if the Council shows a period of inactivity or incompetence. Power will be handed back to the Council and Assembly at a time deemed fit by the Founding Member.
Lower Councils
Meanwhile, there will be three lower councils, the Military, Foreign Relations, and Economic councils. They will make decisions based on their area of expertise, and they will be chosen by the following guidelines:
CG-1. Appointment through Governing Council vote
CG-2. Review of RPing skills
CG-3. Review of expertise in chosen field
CG-4. Review of past relations with other nations and various other background checks.
Amendment Code: A-001
A01-1. All affiliate nations open trade to one another, tariff free.
A01-2. All economic ideologies are to be permitted.
A01-3. Affiliate nations are expected to respect copyright laws of other member/affiliate nations, and are expected to respect the laws other nations may have regarding trade.
A01-4a. Declarations of war on other affiliates/members are not permitted, and an affiliate-member nation conflict will result in the expulsion of the aggressor from the GASN Affiliateship program.
A01-4b. Publicly assisting a member nation who takes aggressive action against another member will result in permanent expulsion.
A01-5. Maltreatment of one’s own citizens for unjustified purposes will result in expulsion from GASN affiliateship, and will also result in economic sanctions against the offending nation.
Being an associate, or affiliate lead therefore leads to a much looser friendship with the GASN, much more like a free trade group. Therefore, the following are membership requirements:
A01-R1. No population or governmental restrictions.
A01-R2. No maltreatment of citizens, prisoners, prisoners of war, ethnic groups, religions, or any other type of a breach of basic human rights is permitted. All humans must be given a decent standard of living, and given the basic needs a human being requires to survive.
A01-R3. A grace period spanning two RL weeks where their RPing experience is put under review.
A01-R4. Endorsement from two (2) well established members. (members for 1+ months)
A01-R5. Thorough background checks by the Foreign Relations council.
A01-R6. No current conflicts which would force members to war. A nation may request aid, but cannot become an affiliate while at war. Said conflict must end first, whether or not GASN nations decide to assist.
A01-R7. Approval by the governing council.
A01-R8. A proven competence in RPing experience, as seen by the governing council.
