Overview
Founded in 1907, following the conclusion of the Great War, and based out of Geneva in Switzerland, the Council of Nations was formed to help the remaining Great Powers mediate disputes and conflicts across the world. In 1926, the Council formally moved to its new headquarters in Stockholm, Scandinavia due to the shift in neutrality from Switzerland to The United Kingdom of Scandinavia. Like the real life United Nations or League of Nations, the Council only has power if the nations in it let it have power. The Council of Nations can pass resolutions and ordinances which govern world trade and politics. The Council has a Chairman who can determine whether or not a proposed resolution can go to a vote. Practically, the nation to whom the Chairman belongs to can veto any proposed resolution before it can be voted on. The one exception is the vote for a new Chairman, which occurs every six (6) years following 1907. Resolutions require a 2/3 majority to pass in the Council. If votes are not given by the 2nd update following the post of the resolutions, nation voting counts as "Abstains"
Current Chairman
Neville Chamberlain
The next vote for Chairman will be in 1937.

Resolution 002-11
The Freedom of the Seas Resolution
This Resolution would protect all civilian [sic] and merchant craft of a country from seizure or boarding without just cause, such as suspicion of espionage or smuggling. By backing this Resolution, countries [sic] would support the rights of individuals to safely travel the oceans of the world. It would also protect third party merchants in times of war from being captured or sunk for no other reason then they are in the wrong place at the wrong time

Resolution 002-12
Extended Membership
It has come to surprise us that many nations around the world have been left out of the council. As such we would like a vote to extend membership to all countries of the world, besides of course the Congress of British Workers which the Council has voted to shut all diplomatic ties with. This invitation to join obviously is non-binding: nations may reject the invitation, but total world membership should be the council's goal in order to fully extend peace and stability.

Resolution 001-30:
Formation of the Investigative Branch of the Council of Nations
Writer: Switzerland
Formed in 1931 at behest of Switzerland and viewing the seeming persistance of larger nations influencing smaller ones, the investigative branch can be called on for any purpose. If there is a situation, political or economic, in any nation or region of the world, any nation may call for an investigation. This can extend to arms sales to rebels to information on a domestic collapse of a nation. If you need hard details or evidence on a claim, call on the Council of Nations.
OOC: In order to use the investigative branch you must merely post on this thread requesting an investigation. However, if the investigation requires moving in on a soveriegn nation's soil or gain access to national facilities, the Council will first request permission to do so, and if they do not achieve access, they will still post a report but state that it is incomplete due to whatever nation's inability to cooperate.

Resolution 003-30
Revised Extended Membership
Writer: Nippon
We recognize that individual admittance of nations to the Council, in addition to being cumbersome and time-consuming, offers the possibility of independent nations being excluded from the council due to popular opinion. In order to preserve the CoN as a neutral and impartial entity for debate, this cannot be allowed. We endeavor to set finalized criteria for the admission of new nations to the Council, and so we propose the following:
a) The applicant must have existed for eighteen months or more (OOC: Survived the update after the update in which it was introduced), providing proof of the internal stability of the new nation.
b) The applicant must not be in active conflict with the nation which it gained or was granted independence from, and must have been so for a period of six months (OOC: Must have won independence).
c) The applicant must not be in active conflict with any other nation, during the period in which it is being admitted to the Council.

Past Resolutions

Resolution 001-10 - All nations of the world will agree to a code of conduct as to the treatment of prisoners of war. These codes would call for medical care equal to that of your own soldiers, appropriate quarters for captured soldiers, and a ban on torture. This will keep death on the battlefield and allow soldiers to know that they will not be mistreated because of whom they fight for. The Resolution would also call for limits on attacks of civilian targets. While collateral damage is inevitable in war, it is wrong for countries to target unarmed civilians. Nations not abiding these rules would face embargo, politcal [sic] pressure and possible military action from the Council.

Resolution 001-22: Temporarily moving the meeting place of the Council of Nations to Stockholm, United Kingdom of Scandinavia. Switzerland, long considered a permanent neutral power, has moved to join the European League. With growing tensions between the two major alliances, Nippon believes it would be best to move the Council to another neutral nation, until relations become warmer. It by no way implies that this should be permanent, only to provide a perfectly neutral ground for debate.
