NATO Applicants' Status

Please realize that this is not an official list as I scanned the thread and compiled a (roughly) accurate lists of yays, nays, and maybe's. I also scanned the last two pages of this thread for new recruits.

Currently, NATO has not come to a decision on the following nations:



Nations that are not in this list: I either missed your name, or NATO has some sort of majority vote for or against you, but the status of the application is still pending.

The following nations from the list above have not had their applications processed yet (i.e, no votes whatsoever to date): Weyr, Dragonavia, Huahin, Illior, Triancia, West Cedarbrook , Kernel Segfaults, Aust, Credonia, for the simple reason that the overwhelming number of applicants has greatly hindered the ability to keep the polls up-to-date.

This latest and unofficial report has been brought to you for the sole purposes of leaving you hanging.


I was left out, either you missed me or the other reason.

"Your Eminence? Your mail has arrived."
"Bill... bill... bill... treaty... treaty... treaty... trade documents... budgetary request... haven't we gotten anything from AMF on the NATO application we put in some time ago?"
"No, your Eminence."
"Hmph. Very well, Namaste."
"Namaste."

Grand Vizier Raahmid Javani considered the pile of incoming documents before switching on his computer and sifting through the pile of emails, official and not.

Still nothing. Concerning indeed.

Finally, he looked at the list of official NATO nations listed.

"Chellis... Samtonia... Vastiva... Greenmanbry..." *blink* "Vastiva? Hot damn, we're a member and didn't even know it. Must make a note to have the postal system reviewed for efficiency."

Ab-shalom and greetings to the nations of Automagfreek, Celack, Sigma Octavus, and the personage of the New Alliance Treaty Organization from the nation of Vastiva within the region of Antarctica;

We accept the responsibility of membership.

[OOC: Not sure. Can one of the people involved answer this?

My guess would be that you would be subject to a vote again if you decide to join, but you wouldn't be shut out of it out of hand. When the announcements of people whose applications are rejected are made, the announcement emphasizes at this time. It leaves the door open for us to reconsider.]

7:00 Hours; Presidential Palace; Grenval City, Grenval

As president of Grenval, I would implore that my great nation be admitted into NATO. I believe the military might, along with the moral high standing of Grenval makes us the perfect candidate. While Grenval is anti-imperialism, we tolerate other imperialistic nations and do not senselessly jump into war. However, we are willing to defend ourselves, while always placing our sovereignty and the sovereignty of others foremost. Our strong network of alliances could also be useful, along with our economic might. Thank you for your time and please consider our message carefully.

Ruler of Grenval

[OOC - As I posted on the first page, and have been neither accepted nor rejected, I though I had perhaps slipped through the cracks. Regardless, I am still interested.]

Everyone else: Because there are so many applications, I would appreciate it if some of you guys held of for a bit, while the Board pulls its current influx of applicants together. This isn't an official board statement, just saying that you're only prolonging the process by adding your name to the list when we're already nearing twenty pending applications.

Though we may not be the most powerful, or the most vocal nation, we watch every major event with a vigilant eye seeing which nation we can trust, and which we cannot. We do however have a sense of loyalty to a nation, or alliance. We will always assist our allies whether financially or with our military. We hope we can be deemed acceptable to join this alliance.

COMMUNICATION

FROM: COH
TO: NATO AUTHORITIES

FUHRER'S OFFICE, HIRGIZSTAN CITY, COMMONWEALTH OF HIRGIZSTAN

The Commonwealth of Hirgizstan has been considering joining NATO for some time, I, personally have studied the development up until now. I have seen that a fellow ally, The Armed Republic of Soviet Bloc, has joined. This has cemented my decision to apply for membership.

The Commonwealth is very large, covering four separate entities. The COH is not a warmongering nation, we fight only when the talking fails. However, we beleive in a strong Military, to let our guard down would be suicidal. I beleive that in joining NATO we would be joining a grand alliance, further securing the Commonwealth, and also helping to secure the more troubled spots in the world.

Thus, as the Fuhrer of the Hirgizstanian Commonwealth i formally request to join NATO.

There are several processes that must take place for the Congressional Board to make its decision. Often, members of the Board don't know much about a specific nation, therefore, they abstain from voting. Each member requires 3 votes of the 5 nations to join NATO, and yes, we all have lives outside of NS, so we do have things to do. Please have a little more respect for the people making this decision. It's hard enough, without your petty comments.

The kingdom itself is practically future-tech (which was the purpose behind the whole civil war), but the Earthbound contract created by the High King Alicia li'Wye states that unless the Kingdom itself is physically invaded, Weyr cannot use its advanced weaponry. The High Guard is also forbidden to employ alchemists in battle again, ever.

Such comments don't exactly improve your chances of getting into NATO...


Such comments are not designed to improve my changes of gaining entry, they are designed to do two things:

1. Highlight an inefficiency in a system which I believe can be improved by certain means.
2. Exercise my right to my nations opinions and speeches.

We also wish to know why Celtayoshi has not been included in this list, we hope that it is not a deliberate attempt to show contempt for us. Rather we hope that it is an accidental oversight or that our nation is still in the earlier stages of being processed. We do wish to join NATO, and apologize formally for any undue comments which may have been said, they were not meant to offend anyone.

Sarctoc - While your application was well-written and impressive, AMF has stated that August nations will be deferred for the time being so that they may first get a roleplay record to be judged by.

Credonia -

Pretense:
1. The act of pretending; a false appearance or action intended to deceive.
2. A false or studied show; an affectation: a pretense of nonchalance.
3. A professed but feigned reason or excuse; a pretext: under false pretenses.
4. Something imagined or pretended.
5. Mere show without reality; outward appearance.
6. A right asserted with or without foundation; a claim. See Synonyms at claim.
7. The quality or state of being pretentious; ostentation.



I assure you that the Board was quite serious and truly rejected your application as opposed to feigning their disapproval. We had our various reasons; if you were denied application, then you were decided to be unfit to be a NATO member, right? We don't have a professed but feigned excuse, sorry.

Teh Ninjas - Page twenty? Wow...there isn't a page twenty yet. There's still around ten nations being discussed, could you wait? Same goes for the rest. Once we get those done we'll go back to the applicants that applied here and I would be much obliged if no further applications are submitted until that time.

Turkmeny, I *might* make an exception for you if only because you are engaged in a conflict with Hudecia, ally of the OMP and many members of NATO, including myself, and bring your application up to the board.

Celtayoshi, this isn't an inefficient system. Unfortunately, there are five board members who aren't always online at the same time and who don't always know the nations that are applying, so often we have to go do some research, and then debate, and tally the votes, and such. Unfortunately, we aren't REAL nations with an entire government's resources doing this work, so it's slow.

Taiwan has also been admitted, I think Hamptonshire left him out of the list accidentally.

me apologies, but i did post over 7 days ago, the soviet union would have moved faster.

And if it does work like that why not change it to improve efficiency?

I was considering this and pondering over some options. First of these being add more members to the board.Nope, it wuld decrease effeciency. But then I came across the idea of using reaseachers to submit what they beleive to be evidence which the CB may find interesting. They could offer their opinion, after trawling though eveidence. Researchers could split up pages of posts and search them all for anything which warants entry or denial. Sorry to add more traffic to the CB if this gets that far. I also voulenteer as a researcher, should this idea be adopted.

I've been RP'ing for a bit now. My major RP's are the invasion of HM, the Royal Princess marriage with Lesser Tsaurni, and the one with CM. I've also been RP'ing development of my unique weapons, and my Space Program.

I am willing to do a RP with NATO to show my skills and "personality" if the need arises.

That's quite impossible. There's five members that vote on applications, and I am only one of them. Like I said, we reached a consensus that NATO did not want to include Credonia within its memberlist. That's really all I can say. No OOC grudges, by the way, the reasons were IC, so don't get all worked up - you'll recall an old thread on the forums entitled 'Who hates Credonia' or something like that, and the general reply there was that you were disliked IC, but loved OOC.

I have respect for all nations on NS with the exception of a few, and they know who they are. All i was asking for was a straight IC andmost blunt answer to my question, which you just gave. Thank you.

Now, as for your alligations of imperialism.....name all instances thta have been viewed as imperialistic. I can name all of the engagements i have been in since NS came back up:

War on Acre Union- Defensive action taken after serious threads of invasion of my allies surfaced and were backed up by strong intel and Acre Union itself.

Thats actually all and if you really call that AU thing imperialism, then i wouldnt want to join anyway because i dont see any clear distinction linking self defense and defense of your allies with imperialism, especially when your not out to take land.

IF your also speaking about that incident that involved AMF...cant be seen as imperialistic either, I never got involved. I only gave my allies moral support since AMF and Credonia werent that close of friends. Its not like armed hostilities broke out and i doubt they would have just because i sided with my allies and not AMF who wasnt even close to being an ally. You would have done the same thing im sure.

If we are accepted in, we will fulfill our duties without question and to the full extent of our power and skills. We will reward those who have done their job and punish those who have shown contempt for their duties.

I doubt bitching about it is going to get you anwhere Credonia, anyways why do you want to be in NATO? Even Automagfreek seems to think it's not entirely what he imagined in the first place and it's becoming a bit of a fad. Personally I had the chance to get into NATO but it occurred to be that it isn't the sort of alliance I would be happy with.

Best just move on instead, you certainly ain't going to be permitted this way. Though I have to admit, my problem wouldn't be "imperialism" I think the NATO boys called that wrong because technically Credonia isn't really that much of an imperialist... though I would question how much I can support a nation which is part of the Ali-Staan Accord as well as previous issues regarding support which I've never gotten over.

Stick to individual agreements with nations.

As a leader of the peoples of New Californiajai i am always looked upon to do the right thing for our nation. I have discussed the idea of joining the NATO alliance with my colleagues and we have come to the conclussion that a partnership with the NATO alliance would benefit both our nation and NATO. So i would say this is the right thing to do for my people. Please consider this application seriously, as we consider it serious. From myself and the people of New Californiajai, we thank you for your time and patience in this matter.

Im not really bitching about anything. They dont want me in, fine, but if they ar going to give me a reason for denying me entrance, at least try to come up with something better and more truthful than imperialism. I mean really, cmon, what has Credonia done in the past few months that even comes close to imperialism? ALl the wars ive been in (and theres only really been 1, 2 counting the Dr Twist conflict) were defensive. Im merely setting the record strait. you outta know by now that i dont like when people accuse me of being something or doing something that i am not and did not do. It drives me nuts and you can bet ur ass that im going to set the record straight and back it up with facts and evidence. Thats just the way i am. DOnt like it, to bad, shouldnt be making false accusations without any justifiable and credible proof and evidence to back you up. As for the ali-staan accoed...has there been one instance where I have been involved in their activities. Im no different in that alliance than an inactive member of concordia is. That alliance, or at least what i see of it is dead anyway. Dont see what the big damn deal is. I dont even maintain relaions with the nations in that alliance, to try to link me to that alliance and its activities is futile.

Credonia has no more wrongs to right...Credonia changed its foreign policy months ago, therefore you cannot hold us on account of our history because we no longer repeat it. But, i'll let the issue rest there. If an alliance doesnt look at the changes a nation makes, after stating that is has been wrong in the past, then its one that I and im sure a lot of other nations dont want to join anyway. Good day.

Official Statement from the desk of General Drakomis Reign

Dear NATO,

On Behalf of the Seven Allied States of Drekamythia, whom have come together to form the Drekamythian Alliance, I write to you now to request an official enlistment for the Allied States of Drekamythia to join in this NATO Alliance.

My father before me, whom was well known by many as Alexander Reign, knew a good thing when it came, some of the time at most. Yet, with this instict passed on anew I see promise with relations in NATO to other Member Nations.

Although these Seven Republic States of Drekamythia, Allied together for the cause and furtherment of Independence and Freedom, came together for the purpose of continuious existance and prosperity for all, we seek a greater Alliance to join as One in with Many. This would most definitly assist us in the coming times ahead.

I thank you personally,
-Drakomis N. Reign
General of the Allied Forces of Drekamythia

A messenger ran through several metallic corridors lit by small ceiling light panels. The messenger almost ran headalong into several hardened titanium sliding doors in his rush. Several bruises and with an effort to breathe in and out, he arrived at the Presidential Suite.

President Rand Veristek sat at his maghony desk, sifting through several folders related to the ongoing Maradkaxa Summit and the arrival of various delegates for the Friendship Conference.

He looked up at the panting messenger and arched an eyebrow.

"What brings you in my private sanctum with such an huff?"

The messenger gathered his breath and strength. He tentatively took several steps towards the President, unsure whether he is stepping out of bounds. He spoke in between sharp inhalations and exhalations, with sweat forming on his forehead

"I have urgent news!"

Rand noticed the small cylinder in the messenger's hand and then he motioned him to come forward.

The messenger slowly traveled the remaining distance in short, measured steps.

"I have news regarding NATO."

Rand began to think furiously. "What of it? I remember the Senate discussion and recommendation regarding applying for NATO membership."

"NATO has sent us a message telegram informing that our membership offer has been accepted." replied the messenger.

"We are a member of NATO as of right now?"

"Yes, President."

"Thank you. Place the document cylinder on my desk. Dismissed, and get some rest."

"Yes, sir. Live well."

The messenger promptly placed the plastic cylinder on the desk and saluted President Rand Veristek in the traditional fist and bow Sharinan salute. The messenger then made an smart about-face and left the President to his musings and work.

From the Office of the Rep. to NATO..............

I am a little discouraged, however i am sure that due to the fact we are still a small nation i am sure as we grow and our nation expands i am quite sure and very hopeful that we will be reconsidered as members of NATO. Until that time we will be ready to assist in any way possible. Thank you.
