League of Small Nations Official Charter & Roster

Modern Texas
15-09-2004, 19:50
This is the official charter adopted by the LSN. Following the charter are the members of the Governing Council. Any nation joining the LSN from this point forward will be a member nation only.

1. That each member nation be fewer than 500 million citizens. When a nation exceeds 500 million citizens, it "graduates" from the alliance and becomes an allied non-member.

2. That each member nation shall open one embassy in each other member nation.

3. That any member nation may open a military base in another member's national borders, provided all parties are mutually benefitted.

4. That each member nation pledge to support one another through technical support, diplomacy, economic trade, and defensive military action.

5. The Charter Member nations will make up the LSN Governing Council and will approve all actions taken by the LSN. A simple majority is needed to pass proposals. The Armed Republic of Modern Texas will serve as the Chair of the Governing Council.

The other member nations may propose resolutions to members of the Governing Council, as well as seek various types of aid. The member nations are bound by the Charter to implement all resolutions passed by the LSN Governing Council.

6. Each member nation is free to pursue trade, diplomatic relations, and even start wars independent of the LSN. However, keep in mind that the LSN would only provide defensive military support if a member nation is attacked without provocation.

7. Should any LSN member nation declare war on another LSN member nation, both must come before the Council and account for their actions. Once both sides are heard, the Council will render a decision of which nation is guilty -- by either provoking an attack, or attacking without provocation. A simple majority will suffice. Once the guilty nation is charged, the Council will debate the punishment and, upon majority approval, shall issue their decision.

President Statton to Modern Texas:
This is the second time you failed to recognise Bonesacke as a Charter member. This is not an act of aggression, or flaming, we just hope we make it on to the charter this time.

I sincerely apologize for leaving your names off. The error has been corrected. We currently have a rebellion in a neighboring country that is right on our border (and actually in some territories they control within Modern Texas). This has absorbed my time as well as most of the current administration. We are glad to have you on board.

Regards,
Basil Fawlty
LSN Chair

CHardonay, a staunch ally of Tenarius, is delighted to see an collective defence treaty for smaller nations. Chardonay will be more than willing to lend our technical expertise to the LSN, and hopes relations remain cordial. In the event that a memberstate is unduly threatened by a larger power, Chardonay will be willing to interviene diplomatically and militarily
Modern Texas

We are excited to see the interest of all nations. Welcome to you all, both member states and allied non-members. The LSN is definitely growing and hopefully all nations will profit from it.

OOC: At any point in time, if you would like to start an RP of this alliance, please feel free to do so.

OOC: Hey Modern Texas did you read my post?

Yes, we appreciate the gesture and will vote on an economic and defense treaty with your alliance. I see no reason that this should not pass, but I do not want to speak on behalf the Governing Council without consulting with them first. I have seen your country post in other forums and I feel this alliance would be very positive.

Fate and Honor
17-09-2004, 15:34
I urge the alliance not to accept the Roque Nation of Maslawyia into our alliance seeing as I am currently at war with them. They are a terrorist supporting regime, and must not be allowed to prosper.

I further urge LSN to support our actions in the theater and send reiforcements to the region to back my nations men up.

Maslawyia
17-09-2004, 15:38
We do not condone terrorism we just happen to have them in our nation. We are planning the correct time when our actions would be most efficient against the terrorists. Fate and Honor have made an assumption and have decided to attempt an invasion. They are the aggressors not us the truly Honourable nation of Maslawyia.
Joining this alliance would help get rid of these terrorists that are acting as parasites upon our nation.

Furthermore, we are not a 'Rogue' nation. We are in fact a Constitutional Monarchy. How can any nation allow itself to listen to a nation such as Fate and Honor which makes its own truths and does not stick to the true facts?

Hello, I would like to join this Allience, yes, I can RP, but I just found nationstates. Now, put me on the list.
Neutral Territories
17-09-2004, 16:38
We in the Confederacy of Neutral Territories believe that applying to join the LSN would be mutually beneficial to us. We are a peaceful nation, and have remained neutral in all past conflicts in our region. However, several foreign aggressors have shown a disturbing interest in our vast mineral wealth and international banking centre. We feel that a limited military alliance would provide the protection we require.

Tenarius
18-09-2004, 04:27
So far I don't see any problems with anybody who wants to join. But that decision is ultimately up to Modern Texas, so...

Anyway, welcome to all the new members who have been accepted.
Maslawyia
18-09-2004, 16:30
Just to make things clear the situation between Maslawyia and the nation of Fate and Honor has now been resolved.

18-09-2004, 20:28
All who have applied for membership are accepted. No one has brought forth any reason against inclusion into the alliance. The roster will be updated later.

Fate and Honor & Maslawyia:

Thank you for resolving your conflict among yourselves. The LSN was hesitant to get involved in an existing situation. As long as you both have settled your differences, then we welcome each of you to this alliance.
Maslawyia
18-09-2004, 21:11
Thank you for accepting us into such an honourable charter. We can guarantee that a charter of peace was signed by both our government and Fate and Honor's government that ensured an end to our hostilities. We look forward to becoming a pillar of this alliance.

The Capital city is Harlesburg with a total population of 16 million people and the nations population is 348 million people.
We currently have a large colony in Manium and are prepared to setup a diplomatic office their.

We also get angry when a large nation tries to bully smaller nations. That's how come we'd like to become an "allied non-member."

Sarrowquand
22-10-2004, 22:20
The nation of Sarrowquand would like to apply for membership.

We would also like to suggest two ammendments to the current constiutional policies of the LSN.

1. A secondary (vice) governer is elected who will be garunteed a say in policy: Said vice governer must possess close to 100mill population and shall be replaced when a population of 250mill is reached. This shall ensure that an experianced member of the league is always on hand should a senior member reach the 250million benchmark and need replacing.

2. All nations with a population below 50 million qualify automaticaly as protectorate members and may call upon millitary aid from the league when facing a larger opponent. If this aid is granted by the leagues policy makers then all members will be obliged to supply league requested aid to the best of their abilities or risk suspension from the league (upon the discretion of the league's governer).

As these issues do not neccersarily relate to one another they should be considered individualy

Harlesburg would think it prudent to support the previous preposal should admission be granted to this nation and Sarrowquand

I feel that an exchange of embassies between our two nations may be in order.You are most welcome to set one up in our capital city of Harlesburg, a coastal city of 16 million people.The embassy is situated Down-Town and also has prestine views of the harbour and beach side.
All we ask is for the name of your diplomat any special requests(Helicopter Pad,Guards etc).
