The Alliance of Pure Research and Engineering States
(TAPRES)
What is TAPRES?
-A collection of nations who value the concept of pure scientific research and development for the purpose of improving the livelihood of all nations.
It also serves as a place where nations can exchange demographic information, ask for suggestions on improving specific technologies, copyright various state secrets, and provide charitable assistance to nations who request support.
Who can join TAPRES?
-Virtually any nation with any technological level can join TAPRES as long as they swear to abide by the Alliance's Grand Charter and Constitution to the fullest extent. TAPRES is a group that prides itself in being blind to political ideology as a determent to a nation's development.
What can I gain from joining TAPRES?
-You can gain only as much as you put into the alliance; TAPRES is a group that tries to foster cooperation wherever it can. For a good portion of nations, this might mean a slight increase in technological sophistication; for a rare few it might give their nations a reason for existence beyond military conquest.
Where can I go to join TAPRES?
-Click on this link to visit the TAPRES forum. (http://s8.invisionfree.com/TAPRES/index.php?) Take a look around, view the Grand Charter, talk with a few of the members, and see if this alliance is right for you.
-We hope that you find our alliance to be a wonderfully original concept. Please, come and visit us today!
The Republic of Sharina has expressed interest in TAPRES for the past several years.
We are a nation who don't relish engaging in attack warfare. We, however, are determined to defend ourselves.
We prefer to focus our energies in developing our nation, its arts, culture, technology, and living standards.
Live well,
President Rand Veristek

If I am accepted, how will I be informed / notified? By a post here, a TG, or a post in the TAPRES forums?
If a post in TAPRES forum, then which thread?

OOC: Actually Sharina, just register for the forums; if the vote passes than the admin (me) will authorize your membership immediately.
OOC:
Just finished registering at Invision boards.
Any idea when the vote will take place? Also, how will I be notified of the vote passing or not passing my membership?

Pardon the small nitpick, Schultaria.
I noticed my name isn't on the TAPRES list of signatory nations yet. I posted my pledge in the "Treaty signing" thread (The one with fancy language and "I thereby sign this treaty and support it to our fullest")

A Message from the Governing Body of TAPRES
All of the 48 hour voting cycles on our most recent applicants have now expired. The Alliance of Pure Research and Engineering States' Governing Body is pleased to announce that the nations of Rubberduckistan and Euroslavia have been officially admitted to TAPRES.
We hope that they will follow the spirit of the Grand Charter and Constitution to the fullest extent, and they, along with the rest of our membership, will be powerful examples of technological progress and selfless charity.
