The Greater Zukariaan Empire
Zukariaa's history is littered with incredible stories of triumph and innovation. Early on, the great military commanders of the Kingdom of Aiur lead their armies to victories over every other Kingdom in modern day Zukariaa, uniting it under one force. Later, the distant Doomani invaded and attempted to conquer Zukariaa as a whole and convert it from its native religion, yet it proved too formidable and the Doomani eventually pulled away not to be seen by Zukariaans again for half a millennium. Soon after, the Zukariaan Empire flourished and conquered distant lands such as Hryvinia and coasts lining the Strob Stait in Haven. The Industrial Revolution brought the discovery and subsequent rush for land in Arterus, a massive and fertile land south of Haven. Now, Zukariaa rests in a comfortable position, renewing its ambitions of empire. Already it has incorporated the Shansekian Federation into its sphere. Soon after, it declared the creation of a Commonwealth, commonly called 'the Zukariosphere'.
Commonwealth Charter
Entrance into the Zukariaan Commonwealth can only be achieved through the completion of a number of things, mainly agreement to the following articles and recognition by His Majesty Emperor Conrad II.
Article I
First and foremost, any nations wishing to enter and receive the benefits that accompany membership in the Greater Zukariaan Empire must, without exception, recognise His Majesty Emperor Conrad II as the head of all nations in the Commonwealth. No nation refusing to recognise this fact will be given entrance to the commonwealth. As well, the flag of Zukariaa must be flown at at least equal height with the flag of any commonwealth state.
Article II
Nations must adhere to the ideas of laizzes-faire capitalism. Any nation that does not do so but wishes to be a part of the commonwealth will be expected to gradually shift towards this ideal. No exceptions will be made.
All nations must allow the practice of Zukariaan Polytheism within their nation. No nation found to be prejudiced towards followers of the Temple will be tolerated.
Nations who enter the Zukariaan Commonwealth in order to receive an umbrella of safety from enemy nations will be rejected.
Article III
Government of a Commonwealth Nation
Commonwealth national government is designed to be as free and unalienating as possible. A senate or parliament, elected from native citisens will be elected to address the will of the people, and this parliament will be run by a Zukariaan head. However, the current head of government in a member nation will be given the title of Governor of said nation, and will remain in that position, acting as His Majesty's governor in his commonwealth territory.
His Majesty, though an absolute monarch within Zukariaa proper, will not interfere within national affairs without the consent of the people.
Article IV
Expectations of Commonwealth States
-All nations will be expected to trade freely with other commonwealth states.
-All nations will be expected to support others in war economically, politically, and materially.
-No nation will go to war, thus dragging the entire commonwealth to war, without first consulting with His Majesty.
-In times of war, commonwealth nations can be taxed small amounts of money, a maximum of 5% of national GDP, and have men drafted into commonwealth divisions to support the war effort.
-All nations will be expected to allow military assets to base within their nation.
Article V
Benefits of Commonwealth Status
The benefits that accompany entrance into the Zukariaan Commonwealth are many.
-Nations will receive economic assistance from an economically powerful and establishment capitalist nation in times of economic crisis.
-Nations will be given protection from not only the powerful and top-class Zukariaan armed forces, but also from a close-knit group of member-states also expected to provide protection to one another.
-Commonwealth government will be centralised in Aiur, capital of Zukariaa, a strategically safe city deep within Haven.
-Few restrictions on national affairs, specifically in governance of self and creation of laws. His Majesty will not attempt to interfere with a nation's affairs because he does not like a law that is passed.
Member States
-The Empire of Zukariaa (Head of Commonwealth)
-The Republic of Seseer
-The Imperial District of Demora
-The Senatorial Territory of Alphaxis
OOC-If I seemed to have missed anything, let me know, and I'll add to it so that it is clearer about things. Anyone wishing to join will need to give me some information on their nation and examples of Roleplaying. Also, please respond to this in detailed IC posts.
