Imperium Offtopicum XIX

[Robert Can't]

Information on the way Thorvald will be running the UN (now also added to the OP)

The UN will work a little differently than you're used to. Thorvald will serve as in-game Secretary-General to organize and moderate debates. Resolution proposals will occur in two stages: in the 'debate stage', any member state can propose a topic, or even a full draft, and the other members will discuss it as usual during the turn to work out compromises and/or reword the text to create the 'best' version of a resolution. In the 'voting stage', the Secretary-General introduces the final draft for an official vote, and this will take only 1–2 days. Every turn a list of motions under debate will be posted, as well as intended voting days for completed resolutions so that no-one is caught unawares.

Besides voting on resolutions, players have the opportunity to work with several pre-established agencies on issues ranging from economic development to climatology and world health. These organisations also publish periodical reports on global trends and outstanding countries to further inform players how their nations measure up, and forewarn areas of impending crisis. You can, of course, choose to shun the UN completely, but at the risk of squandering valuable international expertise. You'll have to determine for yourself if the trade-off is worth it.

The exact design of the UN at the start of the game will draw inspiration from signups, so consider your country's international outlook in your backstory.

Colombian Foreign Policy Aims​

The Colombian Department of State, created in 2039 and currently chaired by Diego Farsua, manages Colombian foreign affairs and overseas diplomacy. Repudiating the old governments tendency for military adventurism, Colombia's diplomatic doctrine prioritizes diplomatic and economic solutions to incidents and crises before intervention by ground forces. The Fillmore Government is currently augmenting this by increasing the size of the Colombian Navy and Marines to protect the nation's coastline and act as a deterrent. The construction of atomic weapons is banned by the constitution.

In America, Colombia desires to work with her neighbours rather than against them. It does have territorial interests in New Jersey, the Ohio Valley and the old states of Michigan and Illinois, but would prefer to gain these territories through negotiation and cooperation.


And now here are the leaders of the Colombia and Liberty First Parties.

Stephen J Mackerson, Head of the Colombia Party.

'Colonel' Marilyn Lindburgh, Head of the Liberty First Party.

@e350tb: Could you perhaps spoil that flag? It's a little too big.

Also I've finished my signups, you can find it here. As I said you don't have to follow the history 100% if you don't want to, I just wanted to write some history for Thor and Robert to work with.

 

[e350tb]

Done. I'll try to make it smaller next time.

A question:

What kind of Tech-level do we have here ?
Our current tech or already future tech ?

 

[Robert Can't]

Modern-day level technology with a bit of a Sci-Fi twist to allow nations like SK's.


Also of note to everyone Thorvald is having some troubles with CFC PMs so if you need to ask a question about UN stuff it might be best to ask in the thread/chat/other.

I mean I'm happy to change my country if you/someone else doesn't think it fits the setting.

 

[Ailedhoo]

We look forward to co-operate with the general secretary of the UN, especially on creation of international law for the good of all and to avoid the ill of the past.

Why is my nation not on the map

Why is my nation not on the map

I can't access your map, it wants me to log into Tumblr to look at it. That might be why.

 

[Seon]

I am not in the map either ovo

 

[Golgol395]

Sadface

 

[Robert Can't]

Sorry about that folks, both of you now added.

Edit: But yeah Golgol, it would be handy if in future you could embed your map or upload to CFC.

 

[christos200]

Expanded my signing up post with history.

 

[Nuka-sama]

Because East Asia is so crowded, I will be moving over to Egypt

I might keep the Kpop girls though >_>

Our government is a Divine Monarchy. I will update with more when I arrive at home. Please include Sinai and Suez in my claims though

 

[Robert Can't]

Tolni has dropped but unless anyone wants to claim in Spain I'll keep his nation there as an NPC, same for Korea.

Here's the new map:
