Application Form
Nation Name:
National Leader:
Government Type:
Any ongoing domestic crises:
Any ongoing external crises:
What it can offer to Alfegos:

I, representitive of my home nation, have read and understood the terms of becoming a member of the Fegosian Union, and my country will gladly honour them, as Alfegos will honour its commitments.

Signed,

------------------------------------------------------

Current Members of the Union:
Alfegos
Zaheran
Rougue Protoss
Neo-Ixania
Mokastana
Rastier

At this stage such a formal union is not feasible. Would the upstanding nation of Alfegos consent to establishing a bilateral commission to investigate and promote opportunities for further trade?

Further, we cordially invite a Alfegosian plenipotentiary to visit out nation, and meet with the First External Affairs Committee (FEXC). This meeting would serve to sow the seeds of futher diplomatic intercourse. If this is agreeable, we shall make the proper arrangements.

Our people, while new, have a history spotted with both friendships and acrimony. As such we fully understand if you do not wish to enter into relationships with us at this time.

Respectfully,

M. Artimis Thuibauld-Zoi
Secretary-Chair
FEXC

The Holy Empire would be honoured to join the Fegosian Union. However, we ask if the GDP tax can be cut to 0.005%, as we can contribute with a larger military force than Alfegos in the defence of members of the union.

Nation Name: The Holy Empire of Zaheran.
National Leader: Emperor Dieter Antonius I.
Government Type: Dictatorship.
Any ongoing domestic crises: None.
Any ongoing external crises: None.
What it can offer to Alfegos: Military defence.
Will you accept the Alfegan Aureus as your currency? Not for the moment being, although it might come into question later.

I, representitive of my home nation, have read and understood the terms of becoming a member of the Fegosian Union, and my country will gladly honour them, as Alfegos will honour its commitments.

Signed,
Marius Stee, Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs

Zaheran:
We have reviewed your application, and are glad to accept it! The GDP cut you asked for has been permitted, and will probably be cut to 0% within 3 years.
We thankyou for applying!

Qooi:
We have reviewed your message, and will be glad to send an investigatory team to your nation as to the setting up of trade agreements.
Along with them will be the Vice-Foreign Minister, who will be talking with you about further relations.

From: The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
To: The Peoples Nation of Alfegos.

We thank the Peoples Nation of Alfegos for accepting us into the union and for accepting the GDP tax cut. May the Fegosian Union be prosperous for both our nations.

The Kiravian Empire respectfully declines to join this Commonwealth. However, we are greatly interested in negotiating a trade deal with the Commonwealth and its nations.

TO: Zaheran

With Neo'Ilos being a former part of your nation, we find it only fit that being so close to your nation it should be used as a shared trading point between us both, in which your citizens can treat it like their own country, while Alfegos law and Alfegos ownership still occurs.

It is currently being used as a shipping interchange, so will act a brilliant port for us to commence trading. We enquire as to your resources, so that a mutual trade can be established.

TO: Kirav

We have reviewed your message, and will answer your query which is that the commonwealth will trade as its member nations see fit with your nation. We will allow the commonwealth nations to maintain autonomy, under the protection of Alfegos and with the interests of shared wealth at heart.

If you wish to talk about improving trade with Alfegos, you know who to talk to. With the commonwealth members, they will be allowed to trade with who they see fit, within the watchful eyes of Alfegos.

From: The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Imperial Ministry of Commerce
To: The Peoples Nation of Alfegos
We accept the deal. Oraz, or Neo'Ilos as you call it, will be used as a trading port. On a side note, all Alfegian corporations are welcome to establish themselves in any Zaheranian city, as long as they follow Zaheranian rules and laws.

The Mephrasian Empire looks with scorn upon the founding of this "commonwealth," and sees it as nothing more than a poorly masked attempt at Alfegosian imperialism.

Be warned, young nations, such foolish actions will surrender your sovereignty and leave you as nothing more than colonial lapdogs beholden to the will of your corrupt Fegosian masters. What right have they to your hard won prosperity? Did they toil in your fields? Have they dirtied their hands in your factories? Beware too of benevolent phrases such as "preferred trade" and "resource sharing," which in practice mean nothing more than national plundering and economic imperialism. Friends, look to your hearts, look to your people, and govern wisely and independently. Rise to meet your fellow nations as equals, not as slaves.

The Empire will closely watch the development of this organization, and shall pray for its quick disestablishment.

Alfegos wishes to ask Mephras whether they have misread this:

1) Nations maintain their autonomy.
2) Nations receive free and preferred trade from Alfegos in exchange.
3) Nations are protected by Alfegos, and will in return protect Alfegos.
4) Nations will most likely lose the 0.01% tax on their GDP within 3-5 years.

Sincerly the Rogue Protoss Conclave

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/fahooglewitz1077/newAkiFlag.png
-- OFFICIAL ULTIMATUM --

It is foolish for such a small nation to think themselves worthy of having their own commonwealth. An empire maybe, but a commonwealth is out of the question.

This being the case with the so-called "Fegosian Commonwealth", we have elected to take action if only to set precedent.

As such, we hereby demand the immediate disbandment of the Fegosian Commonwealth.

If this condition is not met within 48 hours, we will take military action.

~Executive Council,
Akimonad

Alfegos wishes to ask Mephras whether they have misread this:

1) Nations maintain their autonomy.
2) Nations receive free and preferred trade from Alfegos in exchange.
3) Nations are protected by Alfegos, and will in return protect Alfegos.
4) Nations will most likely lose the 0.01% tax on their GDP within 3-5 years.

We have read well your charter, and still we feel this arrangement is highly unequal, paternalistic, and not beneficial to member nations. Within the name itself, you assume leadership and a degree of control. Why does a meeting of equals require a head nation?

To Akimonad:

We wish to know what you will acheive with military action. This alliance is not based on war, or extortion, or genocide. If you feel that it is a possible threat to your nation, then it can be seen easily as unwarranted military action, to be returned with equal force by others.

(OOC: Think of the British commonwealth, and tell me that they are too small to have a commonwealth.)

To Mephras:

As the commonwealth revolves around the mutual comm between the nation of Alfegos and the other nations, is it fair to say that Alfegos is the focus of the commonwealth?

To Rogue Protoss:

You have been accepted into the commonwealth. We will commence trading operations with your nation immediately with you, by dispatching a primary convoy of silver along with representitives from the Department of Foreign Trade to discuss our further trade relations, along with military relations.
As likely as not, you will stop paying part of your GDP to Alfegos within 3 years.

From: The Imperial Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence.
To: Alfegos.
Zaheran suggest that a Rapid Insertion Task Force is established. It will be used as a peace-keeping force, in emergency situations and as the first line of defence if the union is attacked. We are willing to administate and train this force, but we suggest that all union nations contribute with soldiers and equipment.

OOC: Alf, I need to talk to you. Get on MSN please.

Diplomatic Communique

The Principality of Damirez follows with great interest the developments resulting from the announcement made by the nation of Alfegos regarding the establishment of the Fegosian Commonwealth. Although it is not in our interest to join this commonwealth we must protest towards the attitude of the nation of Akimonad which is in violation of the rights of the countries involved to make their own decision regarding this organization.

Furthermore, we believe that it goes without saying that an attack against Alfegos would represent a violation of the Prime Directive of UFAN, given the fact that The Principality has extensive installations on the territory of Alfegos and would be forced to defend the nation against unwarranted agression.

(OOC: Sorry...Timezones are different)

To Zaheran:

The idea of a peacekeeping force for use amongst commonwealth nations, with the commonwealth's discretion, would be a good idea. I shall add it as optional, as no country wishes to have part of its military used against its will.

From: The Imperial Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence.
To: Alfegos
Good. To begin with, we suggest that a core of maybe 15,000-20,000 soldiers is established. If we see that it is working, we could build it up to a larger force.

The Commwealth of Farrfin, whilst having no desire to join this grouping of nations, calls upon the Autocratic Federated Empire of Akimonad to solve its differences with other nations in a peaceful manner.

In addition, Farrfin sends its warmest wishes to those who join and hopes that they will be a force for peace and goodwill throughout the world. It is our desire that, in future, members of the Fegosian Commonwealth and the Commonwealth of Farrfin cooperate in a spirit of tolerance and mutual benefit. As such, all members of the Fegosian Commonwealth are invited to apply for an embassy in Farrfin to enhance communication and understanding between our nations. (OOC: The link's in my sig)

Rt. Hon. William Fletcher MP
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
Commonwealth of Farrfin

To Farrfin:

We thankyou for your support of the commonwealth, and would be delighted to set up a representitive building iin your nation, manned by staff from all commonwealth countries.

We in return will allow a similar structure to be constructed somewhere in Alfegos (most likely the cultural district of New Zevkhay).

0800 hours
Voria

Here, on the island known as Voria, 5 nautical miles from Oraz, or Neo'Ilos as the Alfegians called it, military installations were being built. Barracks, canteens, shooting ranges, gyms, small shops and even a cinema. This would be the first in a row of military bases built to house and train soldiers from the union. Others were being built on the mountain sides of the Cold Sisters, in the infamous deserts and in the deep forests in the south and west. The first soldiers arriving were Zaheranian ones, dressed in the grey uniforms of the Storm Legions, the dark green of the Silver Eagles, in the blue of the coastal rangers or in the black of the Special Service Corps.

Coming over to the island as well were Alfegosian nationals: traders aboard mighty airships, filled with many goods that would make them money from the soldiers, or just there to drop off ammunition and weapons for the commonwealth forces.

The 15 ships coming in held a division of soldiers, from the 12th Reservists division. They were here to train up with the Zaheran forces, to act as an active commonwealth force, with extra training being given to allow them to fully perform their role.

As well as the army trainees, a special message to Prevania meant that within a day 6 more consul-class aircruisers would be delivered, lubricated by a substantial amount of oil. These, with missiles and fuel provided, would act first as training platforms and then as active systems with the commonwealth forces.

-------------------------
Forces Pledged by Alfegos:
12th Reserve Division
6 Consul-class Airships
3500 Instructers

Dear Alfegos,

Whilst we not disagree with you commonwealth, we wouldn't have thought that a commonwealth will be possible if you have not had an empire beforehand. It seems that these nations don't really understand what the agreement entails.
It would make your head of state essentially the head of state of these other nations. That might not be a bad thing but it is something to consider.



OOC: The British commonwealth arose from the previous British empire. The change in name is intended to reflect the equality of nations in it, whereas before the empire suggested and was indeed the case that Britain was all powerful.

OOC: Alfegos, what about changing the name to "the Fegosian Union? It might reflect more accurately what this is really about, to keep confusion down and reduce the OOC discussions.
IC post coming soon.

Problem is, I can't change the title of the thread. Anyhow... that shall be changed. Sorry all for the confusion (e.g. Pinguinium).

OOC: You can request a title change in Moderation.

OOC: I apologize for spamming your thread, but I just wanted to explain my position. Out of character, I understand your wish to have a commonwealth or union, but IN Character, it is considered a threat to my nation, as you are a neighbor, and I see it as a power grab and increase in your influence. As an organization that centers on your nation, and is formed by you, I consider it a move for power by you. It really doesn't matter what you name it, Mephras will still be displeased.

EDIT: Also, while I agree with Pinguinum, I don't think that it's that big of a deal, considering many commonwealths already exist in NS.

A voice was heard over over the radios of the Alfegian aircraft.
"Unidentified flight, identify yourself. You are over restricted airspace, I repeat, you are over restricted airspace".

A frigate went out to greet the ships. Seeing that the ships were of Alfegian origin, they hoisted the Alfegian flag as a greeting. The captain spoke over the radio. "Good evening. Welcome to Zaheran. Do you want us to send over a maritime pilot?"

"Yes. We passed thorugh a storm, so are requesting extra engineers to patch up and refill some damaged gas cells on a few of the airships. Apart from that, we are OK thankyou."

The normal ships passed alright, and soon had landed the entire 12th reservist division on the island. These troops had been entirely dedicated to union affairs, and were ready for a quick brush-up training course as they integrated with the Zaheran people. Some still knew of men killed in the vicious peacekeeping war that Zaheran had eventually won by compromise. Friendships might be frayed, but hopefully would be overridden by the sense of union. They were soon taken to the Alfegosian military base established during the war for an entire division, while the major-general in cahrge of the division went to speak with Zaheran, with a draft idea for the Union Rapid Reaction Forces.

The Alfegosian airships touched down in the massive empty landing field, straining hard against the leashes that bound them a few metres above the ground. Ground crew, both Alfegosian and Zaheran, rushed towards them as the shaky crew left their masssive beasts.

The major-general was met by a man with general stars on his uniform. He was wearing an eye-patch and two of the fingers on his left hand were gone.
He saluted the Alfegian officer. "Good evening. I´m General Gustav Hagen. I´m the Zaheranian Chief Officer here. We will probably work a lot together on this".

"Thankyou, general. I am sure we shall work together well. I have been assigned to be the Alfegos side representitive of the Union forces, so will be dealing with you quite often.

As for the forces, we have 15000 well-trained reservists arriving as we speak, along with their APCs, MGSs and other vehicles, as well as their 15 transport ships and 6 consul-class airships, courtesy of Prevania.

How about you? What forces have you pledged for combined training? It will be so good if we can have a mixed division of both our nation's forces, working side by side."

"For the moment we have twenty thousand men assigned to us. They are spread over the country on bases like this". He grinned. "It´s kind of hard to fit in thirty-five thousand men on a small island like this one. I suggest that your forces are too spread on different bases. We must get the men working together regardless of nationality. To achieve that, I think we need to create some new uniform that all soldiers of the task force will wear. What do you think?"

"Yes, that is a good idea. We currently use a DPR material-like product, yet I think some sort of digital camo pattern would be best.

Number-wise, we have enough people for 3 divisions, which we can station
around the area. We can keep our troops here, and then deploy them to your training camps in your nation. We would much relish the use of them, as our training area only cover mountains, rainforests and flat savannah. We need artic, temperate and desert training. We can provide you the afformentioned training areas in the areas of warfare, as well as world class instruction from our whitehshield trainers.

So, a division here, the neutral ground, a division in your nation and a division in ours. How does that sound?"

"Sounds great for me. We can provide you with training areas for arctic, desert and temperate warfare. Have your forces got any urban training?"

"Yes, they have had much in that matter of training, especially in some of the abandoned areas of Polinas...
Anyway, we shall draw up a plan for the troop distribution, and then cycle it: some on training in your nation some in ours, and some on special training and R&R on Neo'Ilos."

"Sound good. Okay, first, what forces do we have? The Zaheranian forces consists of 10 centurias from the 1st Storm Legion, one brigade of Silver Eagles from the 3rd Corps and one brigade from the Coastal Rangers. We have most of the Rangers stationed here at Fort Devon, the legionaries at Fort Cabír in the desert and the Eagles at Fort Haagen in the Nievohn forest. We also have Fort Tarr in the Cold Sisters, but it has not yet been manned".

"We have our 4 stations you can work at:
Station Fegos 1 (The Great Rainforest)
Station Luna 6 (The Moon Mountains)
Station Polinas 3 (The Polinas Grassland)
Station Deadland 1 (The Abandoned town, Polinas Deadlands. Also CBR training)

As for organisation, we had this as an idea:
1st Division - 10 000 Zaherans, 5000 Alfegosians
2nd Division - 5000 Zaherans, 5000 Alfegosians
3rd Division - 5000 Zaherans, 5000 Alfegosians

So, when shall we start?"

"Next week, maybe? Have to get the administrative bit working. We also have to work out some kind of schedule. What about letting the 1st Division train at Fort Cabír, the 2nd at Station Luna and the 3rd here to start with? I suggest that we change stations at cycles of maybe two or three months".

Message To: The Ordained and Legitimate Government of Alfegos
From: The Rt. Hon Rupert Fry (OIH) Waldenburger Foreign Affairs Ministry

Though of course we are uninterested in joining commonwealth, at the moment, we are interested in how it shall be governed and maintained. Is it in the manner of a commonwealth or simply a treaty of binding, as it seems by the charter that there is no organized leadership, what would be the position of those nations who wish to join, are they simply unrepresented submissives or will they form a ruling council on which policy may be remade? This is our main line of inquiry but request more information in general before a stance or a opinion is generated.

Though we are a larger nation, and indeed a larger Empire, this in no way dissuades us from joining or at least considering it. However we believe at any rate things should begin on the right foot between our entities, the Waldenburger Empire and the Commonwealth. In exchange for the right to construct Waldenburger Churches, Cathedrals, and Chapter Houses within Alfegos the Waldenburg Empire would be willing to make a donation, within a national trust, of 150 Billion R§ (Reichmarks, 210 Billion USD) to be managed in a way best seen fit by the Head of State of your Commonwealth. If there were other concessions made to the Holy Church we would consider the Commonwealth a dear friend and may consider adding our weight behind it's flag. We are a nation of conversion, through gentle scripture, and indeed would be most indebted to those who follow the same path, and as brother nations would perform any deed however base in their defense.

Until then we wish only information and construction rights, but we must see what the future will hold.

Signed:
His Imminence George the Cardinal Patrin Canoarch of the Holy Church
The Rt. Hon. Rupert Fry (OIH) Waldenburger Foreign Affairs Minister

OOC: would these nations within the Fegosian Union be under the control of Alfegos, and therefore members of the Hegemony?

A statement to clear up all views of The Fegosian Union:
- This can be viewed as a treaty of economic and military binding.
- There is no "head state", as such. If the Union wish to decide on something, those nations making up the Union would vote upon it.
- Nations in the commonwealth are not automatically part of an alliance that Alfegos is a part of.
----------------------------------------------
To: Waldenburg

We will indeed permit you to set up cathedrals and chapter houses in Alfegos, in any city you wish. However, we would not reccomend that you set up such buildings in Milkavich city, due to the instability of its populace...

Message From: The Rt. Hon Rupert Fry (OIH) Waldenburger Foreign Affairs
To: The Ordained and Legitimate Government of Alfegos

We are indeed most grateful for your cooperation in the matter, and look forward to mutual benefaction in the future. On the matter of Milkavich city we shall heed your word, no buildings shall be erected there, although we must follow the old adage of 'where there is darkness light is most needed.' Our missionaries are quite effective and indeed may somewhat help the situation there. They are unafraid for their well being of course, as men of God service comes first.

I must admit informally that your choice has wildly upgraded your position in our eyes, it shows a willingness for thought, and a commitment to the betterment of society. It is only fair that we should donate whatever we may in return, as it is apparent that this Commonwealth works for good of all members. Whatever you wish you shall have from us sir. Until something becomes apparent you have our friendship and out thanks.

Signed:
His Imminence George the Cardinal Patrin Canoarch of the Holy Church
The Rt. Hon. Rupert Fry (OIH) Waldenburger Foreign Affairs Minister

We thank your nation for its support in our Union, and will look forward to contacting you in future.

Alfegos

We are not prepared to join your Union yet but, as a gesture of goodwill, we will provide a 10 LASER Lafayette integrated LASER defence system to protect your new base.

Yours sincerely

Boris Berenovski, Direktor of Prevania, Supreme Air Admiral, etc

We would be happy to donate 1200 Zealot Guardsmen to the peacekeeping force as well as 3 Corsair-class frigates and 13 Kalath-class Helicopters, which will be under the command of Prelate Sunatar, a decorated solider who has served in 3 different wars

Excellent, Rougue Protoss! The personnel, eagerly anticipated, will be gladly accepted into the commonwealth.

To allow for easy logistics etc., could you please inform Alfegos as to the weapons, combat equipment and vehicles which are used by your nation, to allow for decisions to made as to the union choice of ammunition and weapons.

The troops we have provided use:
*AF-07 Assault Rifle
*KSB-AP1 Pistol
*AAT-87 Missile Projector
*ACSM-4 Mortar

Vehicle-wise, they use the Stryker APC, as well as the MGS, Command and
LY220 Shepherd varient.

---------------------------------

We thank Prevania for its contribution.

(Note to Prevania: aren't the Lafayettes a little Post-Modern technology?)

The troops the Conclave has provided carry:
*KM-39 Assualt Rifles
*MCY-31 Mortars
*JKX RPG Launchers
As for vehicles due to the fact they are a veteran unit of the Protoss Guard they use Dragoon APC, and Adun Half Tracks the latest vehicles built from our arms factories, and use the NATO Caliber Rounds

If your nation works using NATO calibre rounds, there should be no problem.

Small amount of bumpage

There was a special meeting today: about Neo-Ixania's possible membership in the Fegosian Union. A heated debate echoed through the halls of the House of Representatives as one man condemned the membership requirement about military involvement in Alfegos' conflicts. He was one of those people who did not like a soldier being killed in the service of another nation's beliefs and he demanded that membership be rejected (he agreed with all the other requirements but others were hopeful to keep preferred trade with Zaheran instead of Alfegos).

Another man praised the benefits of membership and recieved applause from his supporters. Empress Anastasia and her entourage of ministers recieved all information from the debate. Mr. Bobrinsky, the Minister of Economics who had signed a free-trade agreement with Zaheran had pledged his support to membership but other ministers and the Empress were undecided.

The debate continued for about two to three hours until a vote was held on the issue. Politicians cast their votes and waited to hear the results. When the intermission ended, they took their seats and listened to a worker who began to read the results (based on percentage).

People shouted, people cheered and others were silent as a majority of politicians voted to join the Fegosian Union. With the House of Representatives finished with deciding whether to join or not join, the Empress and her ministers had to decide but she, Empress Anastasia, had the final word.

"Think of the benefits, Empress. It would be good for our nation to reap the fruits of membership in this union." Mr. Bobrinsky said calmly to his beloved monarch while other ministers silently listened. "We can have "guarenteed aid in cases of disaster" for example."

The other ministers gave summaries of their beliefs before they looked at the Empress and waited to hear her decision. Anastasia thought silently to herself before she made her decision:

"After consideration of the pros and cons of membership, the Empire of Neo-Ixania shall join the Fegosian Union."

With the Empress supporting membership, the issue was closed. An application form was filled out and sent to the nation of Alfegos for study:

Nation Name: The Empire of Neo-Ixania
National Leader: Empress Anastasia II
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy
Any ongoing domestic crises: None

I, representitive of my home nation, have read and understood the terms of becoming a member of the Fegosian Union, and my country will gladly honour them, as Alfegos will honour its commitments:
Signed, Ivan Rucinsky, Foreign Minister

All that was needed now was the consent of Alfegos for Neo-Ixania to become the fourth member of the Fegosian Union.

OOC: I have decided to join, just thought I'd post some people who would not enjoy membership.

Alfegos wishes to announce that the application of the nation of Neo-Ixania has been accepted. We congratulate Neo-Ixania, and hope that her joining of the union will allow for the benefit of both nations.

Welcome to the Union! We reccomend you join the forum so that you can discuss matters of the alliance with us as quickly as possible.

After further thought on the matter Miamoria fully withdraws itself from this attempt at Fegosian imperialism. If any union members declare war upon our nation be warned I am well allied and will fight back.

Trust us, The nation of Mokastana gives you its word as a sovereign nation that this is not imperialism. The union just needs to work on its public image, that is all. We understand your concern and are working closely with our allies to fix the situation.

Thank you for your time, assuming you even get this

Presidente Nicolas Villa
