ooc: Ok, well, some people have some sense of the real world, thank god.

IC: We would like to formalize a real plan for a union of sorts, somewhat losely or closely binded, depending on the member's ideas in that area. Now then, we would need to formalize a charter(most likely heavily based on the WTO one) to provide ground rules on how the organization will be capable of regulating international trade disputes and promoting a healthy free trade environment.

So basically, you promote worldwide security to merchants? Give us a brief paragraph.

read up, as I will be doing, on how it works, just a cursory glance if you so wish, but at least a little, to gain some knowledge of the inner workings of it. :wink:

There are a number of ways of looking at the WTO. It’s an organization for liberalizing trade. It’s a forum for governments to negotiate trade agreements. It’s a place for them to settle trade disputes. It operates a system of trade rules. (But it’s not Superman, just in case anyone thought it could solve — or cause — all the world’s problems!)

((Wow... no one replied for a whole four and a half hours, and you're already throwing a temper tantrum. I can say that, without any doubt, you're mature enough to lead a major world organization. :roll: ))

His Majesty's Government has considered your proposals and can say that the Grand Empire of the Shield and Its Dominions have no wish to become involved. Our outstanding commitments to the Third World Conferences and long-standing policy of economic non-alignment preclude such. Also, we should like to bring to your attention the fact that several much older, better organized, and more fleshed-out alternatives exist. We would recommend the KIST (http://s7.invisionfree.com/KIST/index.php), which we were unable to join due to the aforementioned reasons.

ooc: i was just fooling around, sorta like a bump. hence the clipboard throwing. forgot the rolleyes though. I already know of KIST, but this would be much more formal and much more dynamic if put into action. my parent nation(The Holy Saints) is already in KIST. think of this as friendly competition, Knoot, to see which is the more survivable... although few orgs in NS live too long in any case. :P

((May I *suggest* that instead of a separate forum where you do, well uh, exactly the same thing, you use your energy for the already existing organisation? I would love you see WTOish initiatives inside the KIST framework. That is what it was partly designed to do.

If you want to I could open a separate forum for it on the KIST board. You could mod it. No problem. But that way we keep things concentrated a bit. The idea of the WTO and GATT was to unite nations in trade, not to make competitive structures that do exactly the same thing.))

Please contact me via KIST PM about the forum

EDIT: By the way... that WTO link is great! Pictures and texts for informational purposes etc abound. :P This one is nice re: claims that the treaty does not meddle with sovereignty.

... OR IS IT A TABLE?

Participants in a recent radio discussion on the KIST were full of ideas. The KIST should do this, the KIST should do that, they said.

One of them finally interjected: “Wait a minute. The KIST is a table. People sit round the table and negotiate. What do you expect the table to do?”

You can always make a new thread with proper linkage when the organisation has been set up ;)
