B

Hehe, I'm not even a member anymore... but I'll join the SSSP or GUSN.

Bump?

Either one works for me, but since B seem to be most popular I think you should go for that one (allthough I would prefere A, just to make it harder).

B!

I guess its B then.

We must write our estatutes, and our Union's reason to be.

And lots of stuff, such as rules (meh), privileges, rights and obligations as members.

Guys, I still want to join.

After I see the alliance declaration... if it is open I'll consider joining.

I think there may be a deathly issue coming up when I have some free time over the laqusa isles thing.

I would be interested in joining I need allies and this seems to agree with a lot of my personal views

Lets see, lets start with a rough draft modificating the bad aspects of the UCN thingy:

Economic Terms of Admittance

-To Qualify, your nation, must of course, adhere to Socialism, Communism, New Socialism, Halladi Socialism, Democratic Socialist, Social Democratic, etc. in any of its forms.
-A standard term to any alliance, but a valid one none the less, all alliance members must agree to open trade with the rest of the alliance.
-Any tariffs or sanctions against another alliance member, or any entity within an alliance members nation must be lifted prior to joining the alliance (although you might be allowed to keep them if you present a good case).
-In the case of an emergency, all alliance members are expected (but not obliged) to transfer an amount of funds to any alliance member in need. And by emergency, we do not just mean military emergencies. Natural disasters count as well.

Political Terms of Admittance

-Any Nations with any sort of state-endorsed system of racism, sexism, or religious intolerance, slavery, human rights vilations, political right violations, dictatorships, etc. will not be allowed to join.
-Any potential member is asked not to have a state or state-endorsed religion for political reasons. The GUSN promotes secularism and free thinking, after all (again, you are not obliged).
-Added to the above, all GUSN member-states recognized that humans of every race, gender, and sexuality are all equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities within their nations.
-All Nations must have, to some extent, freedom of the press (total, at the very best).

Military Terms of Admittance

-The GUSN wishes it's members to allow construction of military bases of other members on their soil, as well as vice-versa. This will allow for quick deployment of our forces in any part of the world to deal with any crisis (you are not obliged, though the number of military forces will not exceed 5,000).
-If a Member-state releases a piece of Military technology for sale on the International Market, they are asked to provide some sort of discount.
-All Member-states are also asked (but not obliged) to get rid of their Nuclear arsenals (if you dont have Nuclear Weapons, then thumbs up! We will provide you with a defense system [non-nuclear]).
-Chemical and Biological weapons are not encouraged as part of member nation's armouries.
-Any nation found supporting, funding, or arming terrorist movements in other nations (You must present a case stating your reasons, then we might allow you to do so [as these "terrorists" will be considered "freedom fighters"]) will have a fair trial, which may, or may not result in the expulsion from the GUSN.
-We do not like to rush in to defend anyone who brings bad luck to himself by threatening, attacking or profusely insulting other nations (which might attack in retaliation), so, please, try to avoid picking fights. Of course, we will support you if you are unjustly attack yourself.

Security Council

The Governing body is the Security Council, made up of 5 Representatives of each Member-state. This council votes on issues relevant to the alliance, be they economic, military, or political. Once the alliance grows large enough, a "Permanent Member" roster of 5 Nations will be elected (whose votes will be worth the same as any of other member, nor will they hold any special privileges, except the following one). These nations have veto power against any proposal but, have to vote between themselves to choose wether to apply the Veto or not.

Again, this is a rough draft, opinions?, tips?, suggestions?

Any of you want to present drafts?

You are, of course, welcome to.

I've looked at it five times, and I don't think there is anything I want to add. Lets see what other people come up with.

Bump?

BUMP for the rough draft, c'mon people, this is your chance to participate!

OOC:
As an outsider it looks alright to me.

Ok, bump for people to see and comment.

Else, we'll just go by this.

Wow, this thing is more than dead. It's rotting.

Wow, this thing is more than dead. It's rotting.

You are right, heck, I'll wait about 6 hours, and if no one objects, I'll make the GUSN thread.

Only 45 minutes left...

*waits patiently*

Go for it!

Say, do we keep the current flag or do we get a new one?

I say we get a new one.

Ok, any ideas?

More importantly, anyone good at making flags?

EDIT: By the way, what do you guys think should be our motto.

Personally, I liked "Gloriosus Et Liber"

I hereby declare this thread closed!
