Confederate/Federal Governmental Experiment

To All Whom May Be Concerned,

I have come up a brilliant idea. We should create a region that is uses a true confederate/federal system. All willing nations should move to one region and send delegates to privately have a convention. Then they can debate and discuss a confederate/federal system.

Which makes this different is that it would be like a real confederacy or federal government. It would consist of different states that would either have a strong or weak central government. Upon votes, they could allow new states to join to this system. What exactly the central, united government is, and whether it is just a weak uniter or a stronger federal government, depends on the states that join together and draft a constitution.

It would be a giant nation made of different nations, controlled by many different people, with different points of views. It would actually be quite interesting. All willing nations would most to a created region, privately draft a constitution, and then have our own elections, congress, etc. We don't even need an executive branch as long as we have a legislative branch. This experement would be perfect.

Of course, no one would be able to be in the United Nations because the central government needs to be the only influencing power (no other alliances either). That means that you may have to, like me, create another nation to be involved in this experiment. The only alliances this group would have is alliances it makes as a whole body (decided by congressial votes). Only one nation may be involved per person to make sure that no one can sway votes by too much. There would be IP checks to make sure that you don't have a second nation. Any such violations would get you disqualified to join. We would, of course, create private forums for only members of the organization.

More rules, restrictions, etc. will be decided by the constitution or its later ammendments. If you sound interested, please post here. Until we organize a region and forums, this thread will be for discussions.

Best Regards,

[OOC: All posts here should be IC unless marked OOC. This thread belongs in the NationStates forum because this organization would RP (even its creation will be RPed by sending delegates).]

OOC I would be interested in this but would have to found a new nation first as you say

Idea brought back:

The name should be the Confederacy/Federation of Willing States (the name would depend on who is decided). All interested, post here. Need about 10 to start RPing a "Constitutional Convention."

[OOC: I'd be interested - but there'd need to be a way for everyone to communicate very rapidly indeed. And lots of storyline and history and cultural similarities and differences! Yesyesyes. Ahem. I'll obviously create a new nation to be involved, if all goes ahead. :)]
