[Background Information]
The international Allied Defense Federation (IADF) is an alliance based on the common well being of her members, including mercantilism and defense. The IADF has always stuck by its word, and is an alliance for the unification, in terms of diplomacy, even nations split by ideological differences, such as Communist and Fascists.

The administration includes three seperate tiers. The technical high end of the administration belongs to the President, which is voted for every real life month. The President, however, has several restrictions and checks, ensuring the dominance of the general assembly, which is the assembly of all members. The middle tier, between the general assembly and the president, is the Security Council, formed of three seperate nations. The Security Council includes a Commander in Chief of the Rapid Reaction Force, the minister of intelligence and the minister of foreign relations.

The IADF is given a law code through the alliance charter:

[Alliance Charter]
Preamble:
The IADF is an alliance that promises the defense of all member nations, small or large, socialist or fascist, regardless of political ideologies. In the world of NATO and the RWC it is imperative that a neutral alliance is formed along these lines that protects the individuals from the larger behemoths who's only aims are to gobble up the weak and unprotected. Furthermore, the IADF stands up for the all that is ethically and morally correct, being a champion of the underdog. In that sense, the IADF in accordance to the wishes of the IADF member body, will stand against those who practice genocide or other war crimes. The evil will find no safe haven against the IADF and the good will always find an ally in times of need. It is to say, that even as the skies grow dark the IADF will always be there to cast an ambient of light and an aura of hope.

Although it might seem hypocritical that the IADF allow both the right and the left to join, or the imperialist and the isolationist, or white and black, it truly fails to fit into the category of hypocracy. We are not opposed to conquests or war, we are a peaceful alliance. However, under no circumstances would we allow war crimes to occur or blatant imperialism, and that is what sets us apart from those who conquer just to conquer.

Article 1A

Article 17
The Alliance shall keep record of all Active and Inactive Alliance members. Active Alliance members are those who have signed the Alliance charter, and who have communicated through Allliance diplomatic channels (OOC: The web board or our region page on NS) in the previous 14 RL days. Inactive Alliance Members are those who have signed the Alliance charter, but who have not communicated through Alliance diplomatic channels in the previous 14 RL days.

Inactive Alliance members recieve the full benefits of IADF membership, but their vote will not be counted in either the numerator or denominator of the required members in order to pass a motion. Both Inactive and Active Alliance members all recieve the assurance of mutual self-defense as defined in Articles 4 and 5, and are obligated to follow all rules and regulations set out by the Alliance and by this charter.

Any member who has been placed on the Inactive member list may regain Active status by establishing communication on an Alliance Diplomatic channel.

Article 18
The Alliance shall keep a record of whether member nations are Alliance Members or Puppet Members. Puppet Members shall be nations that are controlled by the government of an Alliance Member.

Only Alliance Members may vote in the General Assembly or hold office as President or as a Security Council member. However, Puppet Nations are subject to mutual self-protection as outlined in Articles 4 and 5, and are obligated to follow and are obligated to follow all rules and regulations set out by the Alliance and by this charter.

No Alliance Member shall be required to bring their Puppet Nations into the IADF, but any Puppet Nation that is not a member of the IADF shall not be included in the mutual protection offered by the Alliance. Puppet Nations are, however, expected to follow Alliance policy in the categories of imperialism, non-agression against Alliance members, and Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Article 19
This charter may be amended by a 2/3rds majority vote in the General Assembly.

Article 20
IADF is a NationStates Earth only alliance, meaning the bonds between nations only exists on NS Earth. Of course, nations that are willing can carry over the bonds to their Earths, however, in the general sense war between two IADF members on Earth X is allowed and does not disrupt the alliance. Furthermore, as do most Earths, to the IADF all other Earths are regarded as Out of Character, or non-existant.

Article 21
Membership into the IADF is open to all nations that agree with the ideology of the organization. They will not be discriminated based upon their state, policies, and commitements unless they prove to be violent. In order to join the alliance, though, the member must have a legal standing that makes it independent of another nation and allows it to carry out all the obligations of a member in the alliance. If a member is incapable of fulfilling these obligations, then they will not be accepted.

As for nation's that are colonies or territories of another nation. If that nation is given the right to join the alliance from its motherland or occupier and the occupier is not within the alliance, then it will be treated as a soverign nation within the alliance. This is because if the nation has the right to decide upon its legal issues, then it should be allowed to be a full member of the alliance. But the IADF is not obligated to defend the motherland of the colony if it is under attack, as the alliance considers the nation to be an independent nation not a subordinate organization. But the nation may appeal for defense of its mother country.


[Important Documents]
IADF Decision on an Active RRF

Active Defense- Alliance authorized use of pre-emptive and preventative force against an enemy that constitutes a materializing threat to a member-state of the alliance or the alliance as a whole. Actively seeks out threats and can extend the sphere of defense to nations outside of the IADF if necessary. Authorization of force in cases of pre-emptive and preventative attacks are to be sanctioned by the common body of the IADF and would require a 2/3rds majority vote to authorize such actions. First strike attacks upon member-states of the alliance or the alliance as a whole by an enemy nation gives automatic authority to the allied body to attack and subdue and neutralize any and all enemies and any materializing threats whose goal is to bring further destruction to the alliance and its member-states.

Active defense automatically assumes passive defense when pre-emptive and preventative actions are not being considerd and a threat has not been identified prior to an attack upon a member-state or the alliance as a whole.

The IADF RRF may be used to assist in Pre-emptive and/or preventative attacks against enemies and materializing threats.

[Passed with 8 against 4 votes]

If you were an old nation, you were most likely deleted for inactivity. If you still wish to be part of the IADF just re-register. I remember you all, so I'll accept you as soon as possible.

Re: Request for Admission

Greetings, esteemed ally. Given the current state of affairs in the world, and the rising body count in the Automagfreek/Praetonia War, we feel it prudent to petition for admission to the IADF. We ourselves are preparing for war with the nations of Doomingsland and Freudotopia over their invasion of our longtime ally Space Union, and, to put things bluntly, need all the friends and assistance we can get. Not only this, but we wholeheartedly support the values for which the IADF stands. Having said this, we officially request to join the IADF, either as a member or, if possible, as the Director of Foreign Affairs. If we are accepted, we will inform you of our representative to the IADF upon his or her approval by Congress. We thank you for your time.

Respectfully,
Kenix Kil
Secretary of State
The Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia

[OOC: ahh, quite good to see this up again.]

To: Kenix Kil, Secretary of State, the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia

It would only be logical of us to accept the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia as a member of the International Allied Defense Federation, seeing as how the Democratic Imperium has been a long standing friendly, and ally, to the Golden Throne. The fact that we are brought closer through the war with AutoMagFreek and her allies just underscores the necessity for a nation like Halberdgaria within the ranks of the IADF.

As a consequence, as the official recruiter for the alliance [OOC: for now], Halberdgardia is accepted within the IADF. Unfortunately, our two most active members, myself and Mekugi are currently embroiled in an offshoot of that Gholgoth war, fighting Havenite forces and two rebel armies. Subsequently, we can offer little in the way of support for your forces defending Space Union, except for aid in the form of money and equipment. We send our apologies for such a failure to support our allies at this time, however, we are sure that other IADF members are more willing to defend an member of the IADF.

As for that post as Director of Foreign Affairs, the IADF will be undergoing a general election soon; first for presidency, then for the security council. Halberdgardia will be able to make her be known there, and most possibly will be elected as Minister of Foreign Affairs, or whatever else the representative of Halberdgardia wants to run for.

Your decision to enter within the ranks of the IADF is a pleasant one, and we were hoping that more nations from the Shaharawi War Coalition and the Anti-Ankhmet Coalition would join. You have always stood for what is correct, and consequently, you are an irreplaceable candidate to join the IADF.

In other words, welcome to the alliance.

Your request to join the IADF has been approved, although the Silver Sky has conducted itself in business deals that would place itself almost at cold war with the Golden Throne [the Argentine, and your response to it].

Well, our President, Justin A. Herbert, has remained in office since our countries conception. However, our Grand Chancellor was assassinated several days ago. We now have a new one, but we are very watchful. In terms of military, we have most recently been involved in the war between Kyros and SkyCapt, but Kyros surrendered, so we didn't see too much action. We have helped many allied nations in war by sending supplies, but no soldiers. That is all we have on record. Thank You.

In terms of military, we have most recently been involved in the war between Kyros and SkyCapt, but Kyros surrendered, so we didn't see too much action. We have helped many allied nations in war by sending supplies, but no soldiers. That is all we have on record. Thank You.


To: President Justic A. Herbert

Merely the fact that you were allied to SkyCapt, which is also allied to one of our loyal Kriegzimmer clients, McKagan, we grant you entry into the IADF. Welcome to the alliance.

The president has been elected, it's President Harmann from Space Union. The Security Council is going through application time right now - meaning, if you read that thread on the boards, you can put up your own candidate for one of the positions on the Security Council.

I'll activate your account once you register on the boards. Oh yea, the next presidential elections will occur September 25th, and the next president will be sworn in October 1st.

where are the boards can I get a link?

OOC: Hey Mac, nice to see this back up. Sorry I went inactive there, shit happend, so I kind og stopped being able to pop in this place. But I'm back and hoping to get back into things.
For refrence, I signed up to the forum again under the name "Sumer". I hope that won't cause problems.

IC:

It is with great pleasure that we make application to the renovated IADF.
We were a strong supporter of the previous incarnation, and we continue to be strong supporters of the ideals and principals of the current incarnation. Such that it was no surprise when word came to us of this that the Civil Senate voted in affirmance towards renewing our association with the IADF.
We hope that we can once again be accecpted amongst the ranks of the IADF.

Subject: Reapplying

We welcome a former member to the pact with open arms. As you already have been in this alliance, you will be accepted on the spot. Welcome back and we hope that you will once more become active in the works of the IADF, as it currently is under massive reforms that need as much opinion as we can get. Hopefully, a former member may provide us more expertise.

Signed,
President Harsimran Mann

OOC: Welcome back! I'm currently serving as President and your just in time to vote in the Security Council elections (if there is one since we don't have many nominations). Hope you will become active in the forums as its spurring into activity.

The Theocratic Chemicalists of Jenrak wishes for a non-aggression pact against the International Allied Defense Federation, if that is at all possible.

Official Response from the Under-Attendant to the Secratary of the Ministry of Defense, Joel Marial:

It is with great humbility that the Dominion of the Candrian Empire, a relativly small and young nation in the world's scope, requests to join in the IADF. While not being a particularly large military power, we do see the need for such an organization as this to protect the sovereignty of individual governments. We wish to do our part in this world, and joining this organization.

Excellent. As for possible thoughts of joining this organization, we shall think it over. We have not so far joined a prominent war/diplomatic alliance so far, and wonder what would happen should we do so now.

Re: Southeast Asia Application for IADF membership

Dear Sir,

With Southeast Asia, generally viewed well by many governments, but not possessing membership of any well known pacts, so we have turned to you. We agree with your cause, and would be greatly honored if you were to accept us into the International Allied Defense Federation. We have a friend in this alliance: the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia, and we view the other member-states neutrally but from what we have seen, they possess good governments. Should we be accepted, we shall be looking for an ambassador to the IADF and announce whether the Parliament accepts he or she.

Sincerely,
His Excellency,
USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs
Joshua Lin

To: USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs Joshua Lin

Membership to the USNSEA is rather simple since we, to date, have no application system, although technically, either ourselves or our foreign minister, now on hiatus [I suspect], are supposed to 'background check' the applicant - however, your administration's history comes with your name and it's safe to say that your application has been confirmed. Therefore, welcome to the IADF. Although we have no real embassy location, nor a headquarters, although Fedala may host one very soon, there are temporary meeting locations [OOC: the forums are where we talk] and you can send your delegate to those locations when the meetings are developed. Technicalities nonwithstanding, welcome to the IADF.

SUBJECT: Southeast Asia's Ambassador to the IADF

Dear Grand Admiral,

I am pleased to announce our ambassador to the International Allied Defense Federation. The ambassador is a male, and from the capitol of the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia itself, is Austin Thian Hsien-Ma. He possesses a Master of Arts in Diplomacy and another Master of Arts in Politics. He has been approved by the Parliament sixty percent to forty percent, and I believe that Thian will be a good ambassador to the IADF.

Sincerely,
His Excellency,

Credonia has permanently returned to the international scene and requests re-admittance into the instutition that it helped to create some time ago. Its nice to see that the IADF is still around after first being founded by Credonia some 3 years ago.

Around, but in major disrepair. It will take some effort to, again, bring it off the ground, despite two brief moments in which the alliance seemed to flourish since it's refounding. Nonetheless, the alliance is open to the original founder.

With that, Willink wishes to apply for Admittance.

Subject: Admission into the IADF

In the World we live in, it is paramount to the defense of the Christian Imperial Republic of Droloon to choose it allies wisely, for such allies can lead to disaster or to humanly salvation. Admission into this alliance was brought before the Populus Vox voxcis (Populuce Voice, aka Parliament) and it was agreed upon by an overwhelming majority. It is then that I Emperor Alexander Alexi XIII, along with President Trenton Alexi, and Populus Vox voxcis Speaker Anthony Trimon to formally request as the Voice of Droloon that we desire to be accepted into this alliance.

As soon as you accept us, the Populus Vox voxcis will immiedately vote on the matter, we expect it to pass with relative ease.

To: Emperor Alexander XIII, President Trenton Alexi, and Populus Vox voxcis Speaker Anthony Trimon

My fellow regal authority, Alexander, and most honorable President Trenton Alexi, and speaker of the popular voice, Anthony Trimon, the IADF could only be improved with your acceptance, and therefore, there is absolutely no question. Droloon is to be considered an ally of the IADF, and membership is accepted. We hope that the issue goes through the Populus Vox voxcis with a positive ending, and await your full inclusion. Welcome to the IADF.
