Rebirth of the Hegemony (Open, MT, ATTN former Hegemony members)

Lord Sumguy
19-07-2007, 00:45
Open Declaration:

The Holy Empire of Lord Sumguy is officialy re-creating the international organization known as the Hegemony. Currently, nations are needed who wish to assist in writing the charter. The organization will be nearly identical to the first Hegemony, with the only change being the overall intent of the organization, which will now focus less upon the military aspects, and more upon humanitarian services and aid.
British Londinium
19-07-2007, 01:10
The People's Sovereign Republic, whilst reluctant to join an organization lacking a charter, would like to assist the Hegemony in drafting a charter, and we may or may not join this group at a later date.
Calizorinstan
19-07-2007, 01:46
The United States of Calizorinstan wishes to join the new Hegemony, and we believe that while we should cut down on the military aspects of it, that we ought to at least have some military capabilty to help members that are in need, we are glad to be a part of the hegemony again..
United kingdom2
19-07-2007, 02:05
The United Kingdom would also like to join Hegemony to bring peace and aid to nations around the world and to share military products with other nations.
Lord Sumguy
19-07-2007, 02:50
Calizorinstan and UK2 are accepted.
OOC: TG me if you wanna work on the charter.

I would also like to rejoin the Hegemony and we were wondering if we could keep our old title as Vice-Hegemony.
Lord Sumguy
19-07-2007, 19:03
All are accepted, but old positions will not be resumed, as this is a new entity with new members.

OOC: ill write a first draft of the charter soon, after i get some sleep.

The Hegemony Charter:

Chapter One, concerning military actions:

1. The Hegemony nations agree that an armed attack against one or more of them shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the Hegemony as a whole.

2. Aid must be given to any member nation engaged in a defensive war. Aid in an offensive operation is optional unless otherwise decided by the Hegemony council.

3. The members of the Hegemony shall agree to abide by all human rights as detailed in the European Declaration of Fundamental Human Rights, and nations found to be in violation of said Declaration may face expulsion from and attack by the Hegemony if the Council deems it necessary.

Chapter Two, concerning the makeup and administation of the Hegemony:

1. No nation will be barred from joining the Hegemony, regardless of past actions. Likewise, no nation will be exempt from expulsion.

2. The Hegemony will be led by the Hegemon, who will be elected by the Hegemony council and will determine what actions will be taken by the alliance. The Hegemon will also hold three votes within the Hegemony council. A Vice-Hegemon will also be elected, and will preside over council meetings.

3. The Hegemony council will be made up of representatives of every naton within the Hegemony, and may override any decision of the Hegemon by a two-thirds majority vote.

4. If deemed neccesary, the Hegemon may be impeached by a 75% majority vote in the Hegemony council.

5. If the Hegemon is killed, impeached, or otherwise incapable of serving, the Vice-Hegemon will become Hegemon.

6. The Hegemon may appoint ministers and officials to assist him with the task of managing the Hegemony. None of these officials may take any action that is not within the power of the Hegemon.

Chapter Three, concerning economic relations between members:

1. Any nation that ratifies this charter shall maintain a free trade agreement with all other Hegemonic nations.

Chapter Four, concerning humanitarian aid by the Hegemony:

1. All nations within the Hegemony are required to give 5% of their nation's total annual budget to the Hegemony for use in humanitarian aid and international defense. The Hegemon may propose other uses for this money. All budget proposals will be subject to the approval of the Hegemony council by a majority vote.

2. The Hegemony will match any humanitarian aid contributions given by any of it's member nations.

OOC: add the signature f your head of state if you are in agreement.

OOC: A few suggestions to make the charter less cumbersome and more readable.

The first article of "Chapter I", I feel, ought to read as follows:
The Hegemony nations agree that an armed attack against one or more of them shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the Hegemony as a whole.

And I also think that rather than listing specific crimes as grounds for expulsion, something like this might be better:

The members of the Hegemony shall agree to abide by all human rights as detailed in the European Declaration of Fundamental Human Rights, and nations found to be in violation of said Declaration may face expulsion from the Hegemony if the Council deems it necessary.

Official Communiqué

Open Declaration:

I am immensely pleased with the growth that the Hegemony has exhibited from the time of its demise at Londinian hands to its rebirth in the present era. The Hegemony's crude, simplistic ways have disappeared - superseded by the ideals of humanitarianism and internationalism. It is unfortunate to me that the Aedifices Parliamentarii do not share my enthusiasm for this new Hegemony, and have decided to prevent the People's Sovereign Republic from becoming a member nation. However, that will not prevent British Londinium from working closely with the Hegemony in the future. I hope that each and every player on the great stage of international affairs is enriched by the Hegemony's presence in the world.

May Aequitas smile upon the Hegemony.

Sincerely,

OOC: add the signature of your head of state if you are in agreement.

OOC: Long post ahead.

The House of Representatives was unusually overactive during the recent number of days; as war seemed to loom over the newly discovered lands of Europe. Many expressed their desire for negotiations which would end the war while others loathed the surrender of Great Britain; even going so far as to demand its return to Ixanian control. Nationalist speeches were being said by members and the Ixanian colonies had already been told to mobilize in case of attack. Empress Anastasia, dressed in an informal but dignified suit with a medium length skirt, sat at the throne in the center of the room. She was emotionless and often sighed as if she were heartbroken. She would often tell Vladimir, her assistant, that she desired peace and that she hoped the surrender of Great Britain would work to achieve peace. However, she knew that her efforts had failed; and she was prepared to fight to defend Ixanian Russia. After the mulitude of politicians was calmed down, Anastasia stood and spoke to them solemnly; her tone of voice unusually saddened:

"Members of the esteemed and honored House of Representatives,

Today, it has come to our attention that the dark clouds of war loom over us and that our enemies, motivated by mere greed, have begun plans aimed at taking control of our Russian colony. For many years, we have been neutral in all world events but we cannot deny that some world events, such as this one, affect us in some way. In order to preserve our nation's interests, I have ordered the mobilization of all soldiers throughout the Ixanian Empire and that we begin plans to join the Hegemony. Yes; we may have to forsake our policy of neutrality but in the long term, is not the securing of peace good compensation for such a sacrifice? I have sincerely hoped for peace throughout the weeks but sadly our enemies refuse to back down from their positions; they are the slaves of greed and bloodlust. We shall only defend Ixanian Russia and go no further from that mission. Let us hope that good shall triumph over evil."

Although the multitude of politicians unanimously applauded, there were some who were dissenting over the plans to join the Hegemony. One of them stood and sternly spoke. "Why should we join the Hegemony? So we can see Ixanian soldiers fighting in wars that we do not have any interests in? The altar of war will be soaked in the blood of soldiers whose deaths are unnecessary!"

Some politicians began to chatter amongst themselves before another spoke in response. "Ixanians must not been as submissive peace-lovers. In some situations, peace must not only be established but enforced by the sharpened steel of the bayonet. I wholeheartedly support any plans designed at protecting Ixanian Russia."

After debates were silenced by the Speaker of the House, the Empress officiated over a vote that would decide whether or not Ixania would join the Hegemony. A slim majority, at the end, favored membership but on the condition that the Hegemony would use diplomacy as a tactic in order to prevent war. A few people demanded negotiations over the specified percentage of the budget in the last chapter of the Charter but those demands were rejected. The Empress stood, was greeted by the collective bows of her subjects, and emotionlessly walked out of the room while uttering words in German:

"Wenn Frieden durch die Klinge hergestellt werden muß, dann kämpfen wir, bis sie über dem Schlachtfeld fest steht." (OOC: "If peace must be established by the sword,
then we will fight until it stands firm over the battlefield.")

Open Message to the Hegemon:

I, Empress Anastasia II of Ixania, sign the Charter in order to bring my nation membership in the Hegemony.

OOC: what exactly would such a form of membership entail?
Mokastana
10-04-2008, 01:09
OOC: liaison for such organizations such as the Scandinavian Confederacy and/or the Fegosian Union. While as an observer I would have no power in the politics or the charter but be able to help whenever you needed another hand:


long story short is, Every other RP I am in i run into a nation of the Hegemony on my side, therefore I would like stay on good terms with the allinace and have an official Political connection to the alliance without having to pay the 5% if i joined.
Lord Sumguy

Also, I would like to propose an offer: All members of the Hegemony will recieve a 50% discount for the services of the Gondor Shipping Corporation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=549100), and the soon to go public Venture Aerospace Corporation*. In addition to that, the Delkorian Iron Works (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=528075) is willing to assist any members with naval construction at our five shipyards. With Delkor's industrial might behind it, the Hegemony will be sustained forever!

Zoingo
22-05-2008, 01:45
Well, on a light note:

Greal, over the past few tries, has time and time again had uprising after uprising against its government. In this episode, it is the communists trying to start a revolution against the democratic government of Greal. As per the charter of the Hegeomy, we have to go and defend the Democrats (much to my annoyance, seriously, how many of these do we have to go through?). Currently, the communists are everywhere, Sarah Hasely (I hope I spelled that right) and her husband Ingram are meeting, LS and I are converging on Womer Port, and Greal is playing against himself.

Zoingo, in light of being a bit impatient on this matter, proposes that we hold the meeting as soon as possible, the hegemony still needs to go over future miltary plans, economics/budget of hegemony, humanitarian involvement, incorporating new members, as well as looking at internal conflicts. This must be put to the table soon, as there is much to be done.....

Zoingo feels saddened by the loss of the Confederacy of Kenavt. However, we feel that their cause is a bit justified, as the strain of being in the middle of the two alliances is starting to make us question our true alliegance if the two said alliances clash. But, the probability of such an occurence at this point is most unlikely, so we have decided to stay out of it.

The Hegemony Charter

Chapter One, concerning military actions:

1. The Hegemony nations agree that an armed attack against one or more of them shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the Hegemony as a whole.

2. Aid must be given to any member nation engaged in a defensive war. Aid in an offensive operation is optional unless otherwise decided by the Hegemony council.

3. The members of the Hegemony shall agree to abide by all human rights as detailed in the European Declaration of Fundamental Human Rights, and nations found to be in violation of said Declaration may face expulsion from and attack by the Hegemony if the Council deems it necessary.

Chapter Two, concerning the makeup and administation of the Hegemony:

1. No nation will be barred from joining the Hegemony, regardless of past actions. Likewise, no nation will be exempt from expulsion.

2. The Hegemony will be led by the Hegemon, who will be elected by the Hegemony council and will determine what actions will be taken by the alliance. The Hegemon will also hold three votes within the Hegemony council. A Vice-Hegemon will also be elected, and will preside over council meetings.

3. The Hegemony council will be made up of representatives of every naton within the Hegemony, and may override any decision of the Hegemon by a two-thirds majority vote.

4. If deemed neccesary, the Hegemon may be impeached by a 75% majority vote in the Hegemony council.

5. If the Hegemon is killed, impeached, or otherwise incapable of serving, the Vice-Hegemon will become Hegemon.
