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.

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.

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..

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.

Calizorinstan and UK2 are accepted.
OOC: TG me if you wanna work on the charter.

Cazelia wishes to re-join the great hegemony

The Colony of the People of Sumguy, also wishes to rejoin the Hegemony.

I would also like to rejoin the Hegemony and we were wondering if we could keep our old title as Vice-Hegemony.

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.

OOC:thanks, edited.

OOC: please have your nation sign the charter if you agree to it.

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: I don't really know much about it, more information would be welcome if you feel the need to give it.

OOC: It's the alliance I'm part of, basically founded on human rights and humanitarian service, but with a military wing as well. Strongly anti-slavery.

OOC: hmm, a partnership between our alliances may be a welcome thing.

OOC: ok, although the only ones i see are myself, Cazelia, and Calizorinstan

The Greal government will rejoin.

have your head of state sign the charter.

President Sarah Watson has signed the charter today.

Unfortunately, the escalation of the Corporate Alliance - New Prussian Empire conflict has forced us to relinquish our neutrality in the name of protecting our allies. Seeing as we cannot do that as members of The Hegemony, we resign our membership for now. We may elect to return later, perhaps.

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

we are still seeking new members.

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: i like the diplomacy cndition, I havent actually fought more than two battles in any war I've gotten the Hegemony involved in before the situation was resolved through diplomacy.

The Armed Republic of Mokastana would like to join as an observer/Liason of the Hegemony. We will donate Humanitarian aide if requested and will be willing to assist in distribution.

Thank you,

Adam Jackson, President of Mokastana

OOC: what exactly would such a form of membership entail?

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.

OOC: I've been meaning to cut that part out, it is a bit much for humanitarian purposes and my entire military budget already goes to the Hegemony. Charter updated, 5% payment has been erased.

I, Tironus, will pledge my Kingdom's support and membership of the Hegemony. Delkor is a strong nation, and will gladly fight for those with honor on their side. I accept and agree with the Charter. 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!

Sweet, thanks!

I am wondering if anyone could give me a summary of the uprising in Greal and the Hegemony in it, I just realized that as a member I should be there.

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.

Wow. Any idea where I can deploy some troops?

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.....

Note: Sarah is no longer President of Greal...........

Burtilana, I've noticed that you have a pretty low post count. Are you new to NS RP'ing? If so, I or a few other Hegemony members can give you some pointers or do a few learning RP's with you.

Burtilana, I've noticed that you have a pretty low post count. Are you new to NS RP'ing? If so, I or a few other Hegemony members can give you some pointers or do a few learning RP's with you

Aye I am kind of new to it, I have been doing alot of reading of other threads. I thnk I have the hang of it.

The Borderlord of the Borderlands of the Decaying Worlds would like to join the Hegemony. I hope that I am not percieved as a threat, as I would like to help produce the greatness of the old Hegemony.

You may want to rethink that question. We are (most likely) about to enter into a war with the meanest, baddest bullies in town-or the Corporate Alliance. If you want to fight with us, go ahead. If you don't, wait until the war is over. Check out our Council Meeting thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=557729) for more information.

With the great leadership commanding the Hegemony, I doubt that I will fall. It I do, you will find me at your backs. No threat intended.
Signed,
the Borderlord, Ruler of the Borderlands of the Decaying Worlds

Greal welcomes the new members to the Hegemony and wishes to send a gift of one billion dollars to each new member.

Signed,

The Decaying Worlds is accepted into the Hegemony.

Can I join?

Yes. Since you are new to NS though, I suggest you do a few practice diplomatic RP's or perhaps a joint military exercise with one of our member states, so that you amy learn a bit more about how II works before getting involved in inter-alliance politics.

I find it easier to sit back and watch t learn, rather then taking part, I have done this so far, an plan to do this for a while longer, i have taken part in a couple of small character RPs and 1 small military operation, which hasn't been resolved, though for my nation it isn't a win/lose situation, I am peace keeping.

Consider my nation to have made diplomatic inquiries into the nature of the Hegemony.

Also, might I suggest that someone who posted early on (the first page) modify their post to have a list of current Hegemony members? This should make book-keeping easier, as well as persuading neutral people that the Hegemony has teeth.

Just a suggestion: accept it or not, as you see fit.

Yes. Since you are new to NS though, I suggest you do a few practice diplomatic RP's or perhaps a joint military exercise with one of our member states, so that you amy learn a bit more about how II works before getting involved in inter-alliance politics.

Thanks I will

I am willing to do an exercise with 101st.

Over the years since the Empire revealed itself to the world, we have long been working alongside the nations of the Hegemony, weather sitting on the same side of the negotiation table, or firing from the same side of the battlefield. It is our belief that the time has come to express our intention to become a member of the Hegemony, for the prosperity of the Empire and the other nations of the venerable alliance, as well as that of the alliance as a whole.

Regards,

Irasur VSL Seawind

Emperor Irasur Victorius Sardir Yardford Seawind
Kiravian Empire

I'll support!

We thank the nation of Kenavt for its support of our admission.

Zoingo supports the admission of our wonderful friends and allies, the Kiravian Empire into the Hegemony. Many times have they helped this alliance and partiular members out of 'tight situations', not to mention sustaning a positive look on the Hegemony the entire way.

We thank our most honourable allies and friends in Zoingo for their support as well.

We support Kirav’s bid to enter the Hegemony

I note the lack of response (via TG or boards) about my inquiry....

Poiuytrewq, Kenavt

The Premier Duke Andrew da Vincho stepped up to the podium. "Thank you, thank you." The press clapped as he got there.

"Today, I would like to announce a very serious issue affecting the Confederacy's relationship to both the Hegemony and the League of Imperial Ocean-Faring Nations. Due to the level of commitment the Confederacy has displayed to both the Hegemony and the League - which is about none to the Hegemony and a lot to LION - Kenavt feels like they should withdraw from the Hegemony."

Yes, I'm withdrawing. Sorry guys.

We support Kirav’s bid to enter the Hegemony


The Kiravian Empire thanks our esteemed allies in Greal for their support.

On another note, we are saddened by the withdrawal of Kenavt from the Hegemony, but recognise that they have decided to do so in self-determination, and will be the first to welcome them back, should they choose to return.

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.

We thank the Hegemon for his approval and admission of the Kiravian Empire to the Hegemony. We pledge to serve her until we do part.

1) Order of America isn't a country anymore.

a grace period for inactivity gives people the wrong ideas?

Delkor was active about a month ago and was in existence last week if im not mistaken, im not gonna kick him out because he takes a break from NS.

At this time Zackaroth feels it can no longer commit itself to Hegemony. We are leaving. We are sorry we had to leave this way but it must be done.
