The Constitution of the Confederacy of Sovereign States


Chapter 1: Obligations of Confederate States

1.The Confederacy of Sovereign States [CSS] is an alliance designed to promote the values of classical economical liberalism, national sovereignty, and military strength.

2.All Member States of the Confederacy will remain sovereign. Confederate leadership (see below) will not have control over any national policy, except where such policy violates the charter of the CSS, or threatens its security.

3.Confederate leadership will have full and undivided control of all joint Confederate organizations, and of all Confederate territory.

4.All Confederate States shall abolish all trade tariffs between each other.

5.All Confederate States shall be bound to each other with mutual-defence obligations.

Chapter 2: The Confederate Leadership

1.The CSS will be led by a General Secretary, appointed by the Allaneans. His powers will be as follows:

a. The General Secretary of the CSS will command the Confederate Joint Armed Forces (CJAF) in war. He will appoint Commanders of the Confederate Navy, Army, and Air Force as he sees fit to help in this task, as well as a Quartermaster-General.

b. The General Secretary of the CSS will manage the Confederate Gendarmerie, functioning as law enforcement in areas of direct Confederate control and of joint Confederate Military Operations, as well as maintain a joint CSS Intelligence Databank.

c. The General Secretary of the CSS will appoint also a Treasurer, a Chief Advisor and a Foreign Minister – as well as any other personnel as needed to control joint operations.

2.All joint authorities of the Confederate States will be funded by nations on a donation-basis only, or via funding procured by the Treasurer through legitimate foreign commerce.

3.The General-Secretary, the Chief Advisor, Foreign Minister, and Chancellor can each separately approve applications for CSS membership. However only the General Secretary can approve the joining of entire alliances.

4.The Chief Advisor will have no authority except as specified at paragraph 3. The General Secretary may temporarily imbue him with authority, however.

5.The General Secretary or the Foreign Minister (when empowered to do so by the General Secretary) may negotiate and sign peace treaties during war. They may not negotiate mutual defence pacts between the CSS and other alliances, or trade pacts, unless said alliances join CSS or the pact is approved by a ¾ majority of the Confederate Congress and confirmed by the cabinet, or they can sign pacts that will only apply to directly-controlled Confederate territory and Confederate authorities, rather then individual nations, unless approved by as ¾ majority of the Confederate Congress, and confirmed by the Cabinet.


Chapter 3: The Confederate Congress

1.The Confederacy will maintain a representative body, known as the Confederate Congress. Every nation of the Confederacy will have one vote in it, and further, the leader of every Confederacy member alliance will have a voting power equal to the amount of members of his alliance or region. This will serve to protect the interests of the various sub-alliances.

2.Congress can pass regulations on the behaviour of the joint Confederate authorities or personnel. However, all Congressional acts must also be approved by the Confederate Cabinet that will act as an upper chamber of a legislature. The members of the cabinet are the Quartermaster-General, the Foreign Minister, the Chief Advisor, Chancellor, and Treasurer.

3.The Confederate Congress shall be chaired by the Confederate Chancellor, appointed by the General Secretary. He serves as Speaker of the Congress. Should the General Secretary become incapacitated, or resign, the Chancellor will serve as General Secretary until a new General Secretary is appointed.

Chapter 4: Judiciary

1.The Supreme Court of the Confederacy of Sovereign States [SCCSS] will be the highest court in the CSS. It will have a Chief Justice, appointed by the General Secretary, and four associate justices, appointed by the Cabinet with confirmation by the General Secretary.

2.The SCCSS will have full and original jurisdiction over directly-controlled confederate territory. They may, however, establish lower, regional courts.

3.The SCCSS shall be the courts with jurisdiction to solve disputes within the CSS, and shall have original jurisdiction. Should the dispute threaten the stability of the CSS, the General Secretary may form a Panel of justices, Cabinet members, and other officials to more effectively resolve the dispute using whatever means are at their disposal.

Chapter 5: Limitations

1.No openly communist or socialist state may be a member of the Confederacy.

2.In all directly-controlled Confederate territories, slavery is prohibited. All slaves passing through such territory are automatically freed.

3.All residents in directly-controlled Confederate territories will enjoy full protection of the right of freedom of speech and religion.

4.All residents in directly-controlled Confederate territories will enjoy full protection of the right to fair and honest trial by jury (currently-serving military personnel exempted).

5.All residents in directly-controlled Confederate territories will enjoy full protection of the right to private property. Confederate forces should never be used as adjuncts to foul communism.

6.Nowhere shall Confederate joint forces be used to violate the rights above, or to maintain slavery, to suppress slave rebellions and so forth.

SIC
Private and Classified Inquiry From the Desk of The General Secretary
Although I cannot but note that it would seem unlikely given the appearances involved in my nation's case, I can say that this Confederacy interests us given the steadily improving relations between us and Allanea. The topic first came up in my discussions with Senator Reyes, and hence I knew this announcement was pending. The clauses involved strike us as fair, if perhaps on the strongly formulated side; we're certainly in agreement with open trade, collective security, opposition to slavery and so on. Our only point of concern is the first limitation, and that of course is no small one either. We obviously have no interest in making a liar or hypocrite of the United States or this new Confederacy it seeks to establish, and on the face of things it might indeed seem we shouldn't even bother with considering CSS membership; but the decision is always in the details as we both know.

In the context of protection of market interactions and personal property, I for one believe Wagdog would comply fully with the first limitation despite its' pretitle. In fact it is only in the provision for exercise of eminent domain with appropriate compensation to the original owner according to law, retention of certain originally state-owned industries dating to before our nation began market reforms, or the existence of state investment in and/or partnerships with certain particularly-excellent private firms to varying degrees, that the 'socialist' appellation even applies to our nation's economy anymore; and this has already drawn the accusing eye of other and more-doctrinaire socialists whom we have been forced to politely remind to respect our sovereignty. By and large the private sector as-such prevails and we seek not to obstruct this either, indeed quite the opposite. The course of privatization continues and its' scope increases apace moreover, but institutional inertia is a difficult thing to overcome all the same; so I should probably note that despite my personal interest passing a full request for membership through my own Congress and so forth may be an effort of some fair degree. Whether or not such an effort would be feasible at this point, my support and fair wishes for this organization may be noted as on the record whatever its' answer must be in that regard.

With Respects,
Charles D. Lind

Official Allanean Response:

Should you apply for this organization, you well be welcome in it.

Ministry of State

The Vetalian government would like to formally express its interest in such an alliance. No doubt our economic prowess would greatly strengthen the alliance, especially when combined with the already considerably contributions of the Allaneans to the world economy.

We will happily accept you into this alliance. Would you like to make any voluntary contributions?

The Grand Imperial Federation of Faxanavia wishes to apply to become a member of the CSS, embracing its capitalist and sovereign manifesto.

Respectfull yours,
Hephaestus Blackforge
Imperator of Faxanavia

Faxanavia is accepted. Please state your voluntary donation to the CJAF should you want to make one.

The grand Faxanavian treasury will allocate 50 Billion USD as our beggining donation, and a further 5 Billion USD as a continual annual contribution. We thank you for your acceptance of Faxanavia into the Confederacy, and hope that it will become prosperous.

Respectfully yours,
Hephaestus Blackforge
Imperator of Faxanavia

The Empire of Xeraph would be honored to be considered for inclusion in this Alliance. The full weight of the nine-member Imperial Union would be represented should the Empire become part of the CSS.

The Imperial Treasury is prepared to contribute 50 billion to the Confederacy upon admission, with an annual stipend of 35 billion to be conferred into whichever bank/banks the Confederate Leadership deems appropriate.

If the Confederacy wishes, the Empire is prepared to contribute two island-territories, currently uninhabited, as a base for the Confederated Naval Forces. The islands have the potential to berth approximately 85 CBGs, or approximately 2000 warships. The islands can become an internationally-governed entity if so desired.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully,

Vlad, Prince of the Empire, Prince of The Grey Phoenix
Sethanis, Prince of the Empire, King of Black Shadows
John Strickland, Prince of the Empire, High Lord Commander of the Royal Xeraphian Forces

You have been accepted.

We thank you for the money, however at this stage there is no need for he islands yet.

Soon, however...

We of Ordo Drakul applaud Allanean initiative. This Confederacy seems an ideal alliance-provided one wishes to become a colony of Allanea. We have noted all power rests in positions appointed by the Allanean government, with a token Congress whose authority rests entirely on the good will of those positions appointed by Allanea. As such, we will not cede our sovereignty to join, but would enjoy entering into a trade alliance wherein we of Ordo Drakul shall place the same tariffs on Confederate goods as they place on ours, and shall loan troops as required for defense of Confederate territories.
Should the Confederacy alter it's structure so the Secretary is elected by the Congress or the constituency of it's member nations, then further ratify all appointments of Confederate offices through the Confederate Congress, We would certainly apply, and be declined, as Our Nation uses slavery as a criminal sentence instead of prisons.
Let Us offer the olive branch of peace, and extend Our Most Sincere Wishes your alliance thrives and prospers.
Bruno , Voivode and Grand Master of the Ordo Drakul

On the contrary, Count Drakul, we would like to assure you that the Confederate Government does not in any way infringe on anyone's sovereignty, since none of it's decisions may affect the affairs of a nation, but merely manage the Confederate Armed Forces and other institutions. The member nations may simply not donate to these institutions if they do not like how they function.

Further, perhaps you want to replace the penalty of slavery with deportation to Allanea?

The Grand Imperial Federation wishes to know if the CSS is accepting contributions to its collective military.

Naturally.

The United Nation Space Command would like to join this organization. However, we do have a major problem on our hands. Our nation has just come out of a war that had devastated us and brought our species to the brink of destruction. We are struggling to rebuild, and if we join, we want to ensure that this does not preclude us from entering.

Mary Scheller
Councilor of the United Nations

You are quite welcome into the CSS.

We note that many men in your nation can find jobs by enlisting in the CJAF, which will doubtlessly improve your economy.

(OOC: That could be your 'donation').

*Ministry of Foreign Affairs*

Allanean State,

The Dacaran Government wish's to join the Confederation. Although a dictatorial government our civil rights are excellent and we give our citizens the upmost privileges and freedoms. We fully indorse your constitution and are willing to incorporate it into our own domestic law, we also give you’re the full co-operation of our state.

Yours Sincerely,

Howard Gillard MP, Minister of Foreign Affairs

Christopher Mawhinney MP, Deputy Chancellor

We of the Ordo Drakul would like to affirm our definition of slavery is a legal reclassification from "individual" to "property". Slaves may not vote, are not required by law to bear arms, and are considered matters of vandalism rather than murder or assault. Once they have worked out their debt to the State through public works (where they are paid the equivalent of twenty one US dollars a day, reckoned monthly, and includes room and board), they are free in all ways save those aforementioned. The Confederacy could not, thus, "free" them-so long as this is acknowledged as a sovereign right of our state, our only concerns are those of the Offices of the Confederacy, which were the only concerns not addressed.
We would also like to propose a judicial advisory council, composed of legal representatives of each member government, that legal matters may be debated freely among members who have intimate knowledge of their member nations' legal codes. We feel that such is necessary to ensure free and equal treatment under the Confederacy-and if allowed, will certainly become staunch members of this alliance.
Bruno I, Voivode and Grand Master of the Order of the Dragon

Well, the problem is good sir, is that we don't have much of an economy right now. Considering our planets, a good amount of them, have been glassed, and we have fought that war for, oh, a decade or so, our economy is in shambles. Aid would be in aid packages and whatnot, as we struggle to rebuild.

However, we will consider sending soldiers into the CJAF, when the opportunity arises.

Consider the UNSC a signatory of the Confederacy. We hope to aid in building the fine reputation and well-being of the CSS.

RE: CSS

>As a formal representative of the Commonwealth, I have been asked to inquire as to why socialist and/or communist states are not allowed to join what appears to be an international organization with the intent of promoting free trade and mutual self-help. The promise of such an organization intrigues us, but the inability for our country to join is a question we would like a response to.

Official Allanean Response

Dacara and UNS command are happily accepted. Further, we will begin hiring UNS personnel into the joint armed forces, should the UNS accept. Pay for the troops will estimate $50,000 per year on average, excluding benefits. As our first pilot program at this type, we will hire 100,000 UNSC troops, to be trained as light infantry. The pay will come up to five billion dollars per year poured into the UNSC economy. Further we will donate 15 billion dollars from the Confederate budget to rebuilding UNSC.

We request contact should this prove acceptable.

The Grand Imperial Federation wishes to donate the following, militarily:
-25,000 armed light infantry
-150 Abrams MBT
-Federlender Airforce Base, Romus, Faxanavia

We hope these submissions will be to your liking.

The Federated Republic of Dacara donates $51 billion dollars to the Confederation we also extend our trade contracts with Wargent Weapons Technologies to the Confederation.

Our legislature body has just incorporated aspects of the Confederation Constitution into our own domestic law making it legally binding within our nation and also extend for all Confederate members to create embassies in our international quadrant in our government district of Kelowna.

We look forward to a strong political, cultural and social partnership with the Confederation.

Sincerely,

High Chancellor, Scott McBain HC MP
Prime Minister, Natarsha Tezcan PM MP
President of the Senate, Senator Toby Smith

That is, indeed, acceptable, good Allaneans. We thank you for your efforts. Our infantry are already highly-trained, and are mostly medium infantry, with our shock troopers being heavy. However, you may train them as you wish. I am sure you will be happy to see some good, battle-hardened veterans among your ranks. We are not many, but we sure know how to fight a war.

Official Status Report by the Allanean Government

We are beginning the formation of the CJAF ground brigades, to be formed from UNSC and Faxanavian troops. In full six billion dollars per year will be accommodated for the salaries of these troops, and we are currently negotiating for the purchasing of aircraft to base from Federlander Air Force Base.

Furthermore, the following equipment will be produced at Kriegzimmer and Allanean Arms factories in Allanea, to be made standard for all troops:



Doomani-Standard (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=525426) small arms[/url] to be used by Confederate troops.
1000SPAA-1 vehicles (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10467193&postcount=1243)
1000 Gargantel 155mm howitzers
Construction of training bases in mainland Allanea


Total expenditures: 10 billion

The budget of the military per annum will be as such:

Personnel and Special Salaries - 7 billion dollars
Food, uniforms, other daily supplies - 1 billion dolars

Military Subdivision

AA Corps – 3,000 combat troops and 1,000 support personnel
(For the protection of Confederate Bases and Civilian Assets from Air/Orbital Attacks)
Light Infantry Brigades – what it says on the tin. 80,000 troops and 20,000 support personnel.
Artillery: 6,000 troops and 14,000 support personnel
Air Force: 200 troops and 800 support personnel, weapons not acquired yet.

OOC: I could not find any good FT weapons listings and stuff. So, when these forces are deployed in FT, just assume they’re clad in Halo-like powered armor and that the AA systems become FT-like anti-ortilery/anti-air weapons platforms, and that the guns become an FT-ized projectile weapons. Also, if the recruitment keeps up we're going to need a forum.

Official Allanean Response:

Should you apply for this organization, you well be welcome in it.
Official USSW Application for CSS Membership
Excellent. I am pleased to report that in special session called after I passed word of our suitability for CSS membership and my favoring such to them, the National People's Congress voted in a comfortable majority to accede to this Confederacy. Our annual donation will be five-hundred billion standard dollars, and I believe we can spare two-hundred thousand in as-yet unassigned military personnel at the present for service in the CJAF; whatever specialties required being acceptable and available for assignment. More may be available later, but given our present emergencies predating application to the Confederacy assignment of more would likely be foolhardy until those contingencies are resolved.

Regarding equipment, we already employ Kriegzimmer equipment in our Army proper, so they would have no problem in operating whatever Allanea would choose to supply them with; and they're also familiar with the Doomani small arms family, even if indirectly via prior use of Generian and Prestonian arms in those chamberings. Our present engagement in defense of Vetaka against Mer des Ennuis, which predates our application and thus need not be factored into CSS defensive missions as a matter of fairness, also prevents us from detailing off equipment or bases of our own alas; this may change in time but at present it's an unfortunate fact of our preexisting military situation. When it can be rectified, it shall be, and in any case we are ready to contribute as we may.

As well as the $91 billion dollars (annual), the Dacaran Government wishes to donate to the 'CJAF Ground Brigades'. We contribute four divisions of Dacaran soldiers at a total of 87,000 Dacaran Soldiers. We hope this contribution is acceptable for the time being and we will be happy to contribute to the Confederation Air Force and Naval Forces.

We do. Acting Secretary of State Lady Uralia Tíliel nós Kharlir would be happy to take up the job, she already having served in our government since her particular elven tribe came to our land shortly after our reappearance in the world twenty years ago and made accommodations to live among us under their own laws and traditions. Her people and the Greenwood Coalition libertarian bloc they head in concert with other traditionalists among us have proven a great asset to our nation over the years, and we have no doubt she will continue to distinguish herself in particular as Foreign Minister of the CSS.

-USSW State Department-

We will hold the islands for the exclusive use by the CSS. When the general membership is ready to avail themselves of our offer, it will be there for their use.

In the meantime, the Xeraphian Empire will proceed in the construction of it's naval base on the northern island, which we call 'Confederate Island'. The southern island is called, for the time being, 'Sovereign Island'.

Both islands are roughly equal in size, approximately 7500 square miles each. There are two large bays on Confederate Island, and one on Sovereign Island. There are also numerous coves and inlets along the two shorelines and both islands have deltas that feed the several rivers of the two islands.

When the time comes, Xeraph will, if desired, build the varied naval bases according to the individual nation's specs. They will go up rather quickly, as the Empire employs the use of AI technology. However, if any nation wishes to build their own, that is alright. Xeraph does not claim exclusive right to the islands. They are gifts to the Alliance.

ooc: if anyone is good at maps, perhaps it would be a good idea to have one of the islands.

Vlad, Prince of the Empire

We hereby confirm the birth of the Confederate Air Force, based so far in mainland Allanea, comprised of the following:

100 Supermarine Sirius AS-2 Anti-Submarine Aircraft
100 Blackburn Brigand S3 strike aircraft

And of the Confederate Navy, comprised of 20 Type 29 General Purpose cruisers. They will be crewed by a mix of personnel from all nations and based out of existing Allanean Naval facilities. This will cause an increase by one billion per annum in expenditures for their maintenance, but we feel the budget can take it.

On the other hand, we ask if the Xeraphian government would like to be compensated for it's work on Confederate and Sovereign island. At present it is simply not necessary to decorate the island in such manner.

There is no need for any type of compensation for the islands nor for any construction on the islands that the Xeraphian government undertakes for any member nation that requests said construction for their vessels. As stated, Xeraph is pleased to make this a contribution to the CSS.

It would take about 60 days to complete the construction of just about any type/size of base for berthing 50-75 ships and the accompanying buildings for the quartering of naval personnel.

Obviously, the size of the islands would not limit them to naval bases. If other military/governmental areas are needed, we assuredly will not balk at their inclusion on the islands.

Tarlag is accepted, but the donations of weaponry are not. Further while the men are accepted, we would like to remind Tarlag that in the Confederate Units the soldiers from different nations are mixed, so as to avoid one unit remaining loyal merely to the home nation and not to the confederacy. Expect your naval infantry to be mixed and cross-trained with troops from ViZion or Xeraph.

Though Greal is not a member, we wish to donate money to the alliance if this is alright.

Nick Saller, CEO of Look Inc. would like to donate 10 billion USD to the alliance.

Yes, any are allowed to freely donate money to our alliance.

Nick Saller, CEO of Look Inc. would like to donate 10 billion USD to the alliance.

Astater is interested in joining this great alliance.

We will donate 5 billion USD annually if accepted, and also give the alliance 10,000 Astaterian troops.

OOC: Allanea, can you jump on AIM? Got a quick question for ya...

The Free People of the Grand Duchy of Tarlag happily accept membership in the Confederacy of Sovereign States. Although we are saddened you cannot accept our donations of military hardware we are forwarding the promised monies and 50,000 military recruits.

Thank You

The Honorable Hero Santo
Prime-Minister of the House of Commons

A sister nation of Marionetonia, the Dominion of Dastardly Stench, might also be interested in joining the Confederacy, if certain Allanea-realted problems with its constitution, as noted by Ordo Dracul, are removed.

They'll be happy to participate in a true Confederacy, but they will be puppets to no one.

The Grand Duchy of Tarlag will up our yearly contribution to the Confederacy from 10 Billion per year to 50 Billion. We are making this change due to the fact we are not donating military assets at this time.

Thank You

He's the maker of this alliance and your some nation that is requesting to join. It's not up to you to say that his 'candidacy shall be rejeacted'. And if I were him, i'd reject you for saying that but thats totally up to him.

Correction: Dastardly Stench is not requesting to join. Dastardly Stench has already pointed out that the current constitution of the region is not suitable to its needs, and that it will not accept the alliance's invitation unless changes are made. If the changes can be made, THEN Dastardly Stench MAY OR MAY NOT request to join, depending on the changes. It was not Dastardly Stench who posted the request (application?) for others to join this alliance.

Certainly, it is Alanea's prerogative to keep the alliance's constitution the way it is, and for this nation and Dastardly Stench to LIVE AND LET LIVE. Dastardly Stench will not resist, nor attempt to villify, Alanea if Alanea exercises this option. We understand that this is, and always was, a business decision only--nothing personal.

Nonetheless, Dastardly Stench would appreciate it if Shazbotdom did not attempt to speak for Alanea. Shazbotdom cannot read Alanea's mind, and Shazbotdom clearly does not understand the Dominion of Dastardly Stench.

Well, for one, it is SUPREMELY arrogant to force a constitution for various nations who have accepted just for YOUR needs. Also, if this is just about the possibility of you joining, why the HELL did you say HIS candidacy would be rejected.

As a member of good standing in the Confederacy I have one question. What is your beef? I don't see anywhere that you have even applied to join us.

bump

Incognitia was alerted to the existence of this confederacy by Xeraph, whom we understand to be a member in good standing.
We certainly appreciate the primary principles behind the alliance - national sovereignty, individual liberty, economic liberalism - and content with the intention of military strength. Ideals must be defended, after all.
We have a few concerns, not least including an apparent Allanean domination of the Confederacy?

Our primary issue, however, is that we are members of the ADAN, and are unaware if this will conflict with membership of the CSS.
Our membership of ADAN is not without problems, but at present is to our benefit, and we would not be keen to discard it without good cause. Would this cause problems in an application to the CSS?

USSW Official CSS Notification
Due to the recent recruitment campaigns, we can confidently state that fully five-hundred thousand more personnel can become available for our contribution to the CJAF. All specialties have some representation, as do all ranks even though formerly-retired officers and senior NCOs do predominate.

Additionally, we're prepared to fill civil-service positions in the Confederate Judiciary and other arms as required. Recruitment there is less certain as yet, in the absence of concretely-stated requirements on the part of the Confederacy, but we're confident we can rise to what obligations present themselves. Our thanks for this opportunity to prove ourselves as good as our word.

-USSW State Department-

-The issue of membership of the Confederacy has been debated carefully by our Government.
-We eventually decided to put it to a free vote in the Consilium, our legislative body, with the three options being to join, to not join, or to put it to a national referendum.
-The overwhelming decision was to hold a referendum on membership. James Kalaria and his government are not expressing an official opinion, but are widely held to be backing the campaign for a Yes vote.

"So, this is what the Times were saying a couple of weeks ago when the referendum campaign was in full swing."
"What was the result?"
"Come sir, please allow a psephologist his moment of glory! I haven't had this much fun since the election two years ago!"
"Oh very well Walter, do it your way."

Severe concerns have been voiced over the Government's proposal of joining a new, fledgeling alliance when we are already members of an active and well established alliance, the ADAN.
This newspaper believes, however, that the CSS is a better proposal all round than the ADAN, and has carefully noted the assurances from the leader of the CSS, Allanea, that joining under current terms will not be a problem.

"So the Guardian declared for us; yes, I remember that well. The last broadsheet to make it's mind up, popular with people not usually our greatest supporters in this government."
"Then the frenetic last few weeks; the leader of the No campaign losing his head over an alleged affair - he should know people care less about the sex than the lying nowadays, for goodness' sake! And the No campaign paradoxically getting a boost from his troubles!"
"Yes Walter, I had no fingernails at that point, as you well know. Now tell me what the damn exit polls are saying!"

"Yes. A resounding Yes. Yes by 70% to 30%, maybe more."
"And turnout?"
"High. Perhaps higher than in the last general election. In fact, in summary Mr. Kalaria, right now the decision to join the CSS has a greater democratic legitimacy, and a greater mandate, than you yourself do."

Having carefully considered the issue, Incognitia would most certainly like to join the CSS. It is yet to be ratified by the Consilium, but it seems likely to be accepted that 50% of our budgetary surplus on an annual basis will be donated to the CSS. This year that surplus is estimated to top $2 trillion, making our donation to Confederacy coffers $1 trillion in this financial year.
Our citizens will obviously be permitted freely to join central Confederate bodies. In addition we can contribute part of either the intake or passing-out from both our Officer and Other Ranks training programs, and of course send experienced personnel to help get the Confederate Armed Forces off the ground.

To: The CSS Military Command
From: General Gayland Cox
Commanding General Tarlag Defense Forces


I am pleased to announce that the Government of the Grand Duchy of Tarlag will increase its personal allotment to the CSS military by 200,000. About 10% of this increase are Senior personal and planning staff. This will give you experienced personal you are most likely lacking. Our Minister of Finance will also be sending a one time payment of 15 billion USD to boost your finances.

For ages, Allanea and Derscon, despite the many cultural differences, have stood together in thick and thin, facing off the forces of evil and corruption.

Allanea has served Greater Prussia well, both under the Reichskamphen and Dersconi Emperors, and has been at Derscon's side through all storms and tempests.

Therefore, it is only natural that Derscon sign its name to this Confederacy, and return the favours Allanea has done for Derscon.

It would have helped your case IMMENSELY if the sentences in which you chided me for my bad grammar didn't did not have so many grammatical gaffes of their own. One does not use an apostrophe to form a plural, as you did in "comma's." One does not use a period where a comma is called for, as you did in "Also. learn something."

You are a hypocrite and an idiot. I will no longer respond to your posts.

As a member of good standing in the Confederacy I have one question. What is your beef? I don't see anywhere that you have even applied to join us.

Beef? I have no contention that would lead to war between my nation and the Confederacy. In fact, I rather respect the elegance of Allenia's silence. It sure beats Shazbotdom's idiocy and rudeness.

My concern is that Allenia is, in the terms of the Confederacy's constitution, given too much power. I was not the first to voice this concern, even though I was singled out for its expression.

Though I will stick up for myself against the rantings of hypocrites and idiots, I have no beef with the Confederacy itself, and will be happy to live and let live.

BTW, for those too low on the evolutionary totem pole to figure this out: Dastardly Stench and Marionetonia have the same owner.

50,000 Fernantes Armored Bridgelayers
50,000 Nakil Armored Recovery Vehicles
200,000 each of G11-Series vehicles G11/A, C, D, E, F, G, H

We currently plan to retain our Kriegzimmer aircraft, ships and missiles plus munitions for same; though we will transfer all munitons to the donated vehicles and artillery listed above as is only proper. We hope that with this donation the Confederate Joint Armed Forces can become sufficiently powerful to deter attack against any single member by most nations, or to serve to effectively cover the mobilization of the Confederacy in the event of a call-to-arms.

Well, 'were' applies in my case; note however that aside from greater opening to foreign businesses and a slight increase in powers to the National People's Congress and some more-substantial executive changes, Wagdog's not too different from what we were before we joined this CSS even or from the state you knew TWSP. We phrase ourselves as 'progressive capitalists' rather than 'market socialists' perhaps, and the explicitly Red parties have diminished in number and influence after various years of un-RPed turmoil and change that was going on over the Holidays' break, but altogether we're not that different and we met CSS criteria then because having a market economy is the CSS-membership make/break factor above all.

I don't know if he would and plus we need an enemy and Kraven and his slave states make a fair enemy for our alliance. But it would be a kick.

Kraven would be interisting. Do we have any other enemy's out there?

Not that I know of. But I was hoping to do a Draka style rp

Hmmm...I'd be willing to bet that between you, me, and Tarlag we could come up w/one hell of a devious script.....I'll TG both of you in a minute:wink:

Interesting but who will be the bad man?

Greetings from the Terran Federation, we have looked over your requirements and your alliance, and believe it would be beneficial to our nation if we would be able to join, since we do meet all the criteria, we look froward to hearing a response from your Representative members. Thank you very much

OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE

To: Secretary General, Confederacy of Sovereign States
From: Dartia, Office of the President
Re: Treaties

On behalf of the Free Land of Dartia, I wish to commend the Confederacy of Sovereign States for assembling such a fine group of nations in relatively short time. It is rare to see such a young alliance attract so many influential nations so quickly. Our hats off to you.

Be advised that our government may request alliance membership in the near future, but are not yet prepared to do so. So far, we like what we see. You have economic and military strength, and appear to be well organized. However, we are a cautious nation, and your young alliance has yet to be tested.

While we consider our membership application, we wish to make a gesture of goodwill, and submit the following offers of treaties to the Confederacy of Sovereign States.

- Free Trade Agreement
- Non-Aggression Pact

Our nation may be receptive to other types of treaties, but would need to work out specific details. We eagerly await your response.

Yours truly,

As am I. Let's get something going with this alliance............

ooc: I noticed on this thread not all members are listed...if anyone wants I could hold a css summit or something perhaps..?

OCC: a summit would be great. I have sort of fallen by the way side in my RPing lately and this sounds like the thing to get me back in the swing.

OOC: Ditto Tarlag... I haven't been on in a while so I wanna get back into things and see whats new...

summit thread will be up later today
