Purpose
The Association of Trading Nations, also known as "The Association," is an alliance of trading nations both landlocked and sea-faring who seek to initiate stronger trade with other countries. "The Association" will be established to protect and further trade especially in undeveloped nations. While trying to shy away from a military alliance, nations that belong to "The Association" will vow to protect the trade of its allies should that nation be in duress. However within "The Association" members are welcome to make a military alliance.

*corporations with over 3 million employees are welcome to join "The Association."

Constitution

Section I: Administration

Chapter I
"The Association" while open to all government types will be ruled by democratic means. It will have three official branches, the executive, the legislative, and the judicial.
Sub-Chapter I: Executive Branch
The Executive branch is defined as the enforcers of the legislature. The Executive branch will be under the control of single person elected by the legislature and approved by the judicial branch. This person and his nation must be a member of "The Association." They will serve under the position with the title of president and preside in the seat for a period of no longer than 2 years. There is no limitation on the number of terms this person can run for as long as it is not consecutive more than twice.[a maximum of 4 years before waiting]

It will have the power to veto laws by the legislative as part of the checks and balance system. The executive branch will also have the power to approve new nations or organizations applications to join The Association as well as deny the application on any reason whatsoever.* The president has the power to approve or deny any new additions to the constitution as well.

*However the nation that has been denied can apply again once the term of the current president is over.

Sub-Chapter II: Legislative Branch
The legislative branch is defined as the body that makes laws. The Legislative Branch will be split into two divisions, the House of Nations and the Senate.

Article I: House of Nations

The number of members a nation can send to the House of Nations is based on population. For every 500 million citizens an applicant can send 1 representative*. A nation can also "buy" a seat by donating a sum of over 500 billion dollars to the treasury. However they can only buy up to 10 seats in the House of Nations. Nations will have a maximum amount of 20 seats in the House.

The House of Nations is the only administration that can levy taxes and raise or lower tariffs however they can not create a nations tariff if it is already part of a free trade organization. The House of Nations also has direct control of the treasury .

Article II: Senate

The senate has direct control over economic sanctions and can order an embargo. They can also impeach any person or nation part of the Association. Each country gets exactly 3 senators. Senators can also create amendments to the constitution.

Sub-Chapter III: Judicial Court
The Judicial Court interprets laws and judges whether they are in the best interest of the association. Each country in the association may send a single judge. The Judicial Court also doubles as a criminal court for both world trade violations and hearings on impeachments.



RULES:

*Anyone is welcome
*Members must participate
*While we are an economic alliance at this point this does not mean we might not become military at some point in the near future
*No member of the association may attack another member without appealing to the senate.
*Arbitration will be handled in the supreme court

OOC: "While we are an economic alliance at this point this does not mean we might not become military at some point in the near future" sounds a little odd to me, honestly. What would spur the "Association" into becoming a military alliance, and how would a group of corporations function as such?

Should someone directly threaten association member trade that would definitely entice some of us to respond with military force. Mostly any military response would be direct orders from the senate and would call for actions against pirates or rogue nations interfering in association trade. Corporations may hire mercenaries or provide supplies at a discount. The statement is mostly so we don't bind ourselves to being just an economic alliance. I leave everything for congress to decide. If they want to become a military alliance and the majority agree well then we will become a military alliance.

OOC: "Threaten trade" could be defined as pretty much anything--ODECON's entire purpose is basically to protect the trade and security of its member-states by instilling in attackers a fear of massive retaliation.

By the way, what exactly would be the economic benefit of joining the Association? I hope you realize I'm not trying to be confrontational here; I'm just curious, since you and I have...less than pristine relations.

ooc: This would be an economic alliance, however I have left a very loose interpretation of what our path should be.

Telvira while I would like to accept you at this time, I would like to wait a bit. Your nations age is quite young and while I have no problems with allowing any one in I don't want to get a bad reputation. At this point you can be an observer but I would like to wait and see how you rp before letting you in. You are an ally of ralkovia still but I would like to wait and see. If you are involved in tolvan's thread I will make my decision after seeing you continue to play. Thank you so much.

OOC-Just throwing this out there, but I'm not really new. I had another nation, but it got occupied and pretty much destroyed, so I started anew. Old nation was called Comorostan. I can rustle up some old threads if you want.

OOC: Well actually if you would like to wait a little bit while I get organized. I could better answer your questions. Or we could go onto MSN and chat for a bit.

The economic benefit is that this organization increases trade with other nations without tariff and what not. When I asked people to put their imports and exports down it was for the reason that we could help fill in each others trade gaps. ODECON is a military and economic alliance while this is just a very loose economic alliance. This is mostly an article of confederation set out by me, soon enough we will forge our own constitution based on what members want to hear. Then I shall hopefully have someone create a site for us and then we shall be whatever we shall be.

Sure that would be wonderful. Just send them to me on my profile.

OOC: No, that's actually exactly what I was looking for. I'm just doing my required "make-sure-this-isn't-an-attempt-by-Ralkovia-to-destroy-me" post.

By the way, "2nd world" doesn't mean anything anymore. 1st World refers to post-WWII western allies, 2nd World refers to the USSR and its allies, and 3rd World refers to non-aligned nations. I believe the Filipino president took a lot of flak for saying that her nation was now a 2nd world nation rather than a 3rd world one, since she didn't understand the meaning of the word.

That's fairly poor, being USD$13K/capita, which puts him at about Lithuania, and this is while the powerhouses of NS are wealthier and more powerful than the UK and the US. And I would commend him for RPing a poor nation if he sticks around to do so.

To further your goals of guaranteeing trade, we offer our new CS-14 (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=5823&view=findpost&p=3505153) cargo submarine, which is designed to quickly, quietly and efficiently deliver cargo under ice or under the noses of an enemy blockade fleet. It can carry up to 15000 tonnes of cargo, and so, while it will probably not manage the incredible return on investment as the Deutschland, the first cargo submarine, you'll make up the $3.35 billion initial cost fairly quickly.

I understand you are part of the association but for now we are working out the site. Moderation positions will most likely be rewarded for positions in association government. For example, the president will get a moderation position.

Should I?
Yes an observer may also join.

OOC: Why? It seems pretty sound to me.

Commonwealth of Free United States
Main Economic Directorate
Pankrati Gerasim Dikau, Secretary of Commerce

The Commonwealth is also interested to know why it's honorable ally, the Imperial Republic of Greal, has been rejected for membership. The CFUS has good relations with this nation and will sponsor Greal, if necessary, for reconsideration for membership. Of course, the Commonwealth will respect the final decision of the Association, but hopes there can be a mutually beneficial solution to the situation at hand.

signed, Pankrati Gerasim Dikau
Secretary of Commerce, CFUS

Official Mandalorian Statement

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/maldorians__1.png

Blasphemy and hypocrisy! The Mandalorian Empire had been falsely under the impression that only honorable, brave nations were to be accepted into the ranks of this association. We have deceived; stabbed in the back; betrayed by our own ally. For what reason one might ask? The day that Lord Sumguy and his pitiful nation are in the same alliance our empire is the day that the Earth will end. The Mandalorian Empire has and always will be at war with Lord Sumguy, ceasefires aside. We had been under the assumption that the government of Ralkovia understands the fact that Lord Sumguy is a 3rd world nation, not fit to influence world matters. However, we have too much faith into this apparently failed government.

Due to this concern, the Mandalorian Empire hereby departs from this assocation, which has proven itself to be nothing but a lie.

Allahu Ackbar.
Mandálii kote cu'di'ra tavl'o kel'lum!
~The Mandalore.
-Supreme Ruler of the Mandalorian Empire.
