Democratic Union Applications​

The Democratic Union is an international organization for the advancement and protection of democracy throughout the world. This Union is also a military alliance, via our Collective Defense Agreement, as well as a Free Trade area, via our Proclamation of Free Trade.

Our Union is diverse, politically and culturally. We have a variety of laws on the books protecting human rights. It is recommended that you review these laws before applying.

When you apply, your application will be reviewed and likely approved by the Speaker, upon which you will be granted provisional membership for two weeks. Provisional members have the same rights and privileges as full members, except that other members may object to their membership. If a certain number of members second your objection, the Council will vote on your membership.

Conventional long name: The Great Coalition of the Allied Freeholds and Coastal Republics of Ilia
Conventional short name: Ilian Coalition
Form of government: Confederation between Democratic Socialist Freeholds and Oligarchic Republics
Brief description of your government's structure: There are three layers of the Coalition.

The Coalition Layer is governed by the Council of State, a 13 member body with 1 member from each of the Freeholds/Republic, 2 members to represent the interest of the Allied Freeholds and Coastal Republics, and an popularly elected Premier. This Layer coordinates the United Defense Commission, and macro-economics.

The Nation Layer consists of the Allied Freeholds and Coastal Republics, while the IAF acts like a Parliamentary Republic with Unitary Housed Assembly and Prime Minister, the ICR acts as a Republican Oligarchy with a de facto corporate controlled Senate led by a Speaker. This layer organizes the Military during peacetime, secures the borders, and etc

The State Layer is the lowest official layer but not necessarily the least powerful. It is occupied by the individual Freeholds and Republic of which there are 5 of each. Each has their own slightly different governance depending on their geographic and population makeup. This layer is the main layer that deals with matters of Justice, Tax Collection and etc.

(OOC: If I may just come in and say a few words of update; you no longer exist on the map as you were gone and your former land has been claimed. I'd probably guess the map gods would give you back the land, though, unless you want a new claim or unless Ceretis gets pissed off. XD. Anyways, welcome back; just wanted to let you know that!)

(OOC PS: I'm not a horrid juvenile godmodder anymore! :clap: :hug: )

(OOC PS EDIT NOTE 2: While you were out, the institution of RP moderation was created, and RP is now more realistic. So 20 million man armies are slightly out of the question. You threatened the use of such an army during the Ixelonia RP so I figured I'd let you know. Syrixia as it stands has an army of 500,000, and the world's largest military in Kannex has about a million soldiers.)

That news makes me happy! More realism is better:)

Thank you for the updates, I'll also just make a new land claim no need to inconvenience people.
 
(Edit: I am going to take the same approach as I have with the North Pacific Treaty Organizaztion. If Callaici and Tir na Andalucia are both accepted, I will roll all three into one over-arching group that represents The Union of the Rose. A new representative will be announced at that point who will take over from Vyncis, Mala and Hadyn.)

Conventional short name: Callaici
Form of government: Presidential Republic
Brief description of your government's structure: The President de la Saviesa (President of Wisdom) and the Consell Àguila (Eagle Council) constitute the Executive Branch of government, one position is the president and the other is his / her cabinet.

Upon realizing how ridiculous it would be to have three nations in this organization under the control of one person, I am going to take a simpler approach. Roderic Engstrom shall become the primary representative for The Union of the Rose (from a role play perspective this includes Kalti, Callaici and Tir na Andalucia). Vyncis Maley, Mala Aumius and Hadyn shall be sub-representatives and I may occasionally role play as them to throw in a voice of approval or dissent but they won't vote (limiting myself to one vote so as to not skew anything).
 
Conventional long name: The Union of the Great, Lesser, and Independent Houses of Myroria (formal), the All-House Union of Myroria (informal)
Conventional short name: Myroria
Form of government: Elective constitutional monarchy
Brief description of your government's structure: Myroria is a constitutional monarchy. The monarch of Myroria, styled the Sedera or king/queen, in theory has unlimited power to make decrees as he or she pleases. In reality, however, the monarch's power is curtailed by a complex relationship with Myroria's legislature, the Council of Great Houses, composed of 421 representatives from the three Great Houses - confederations of Myrorian families that historically were based in tradition, rite, and religion, but now function mainly as political parties. There are no elections in the traditional sense of the word; membership in a Great House, and by proxy participation in government, is mainly a matter of birth, marriage, or "adoption". Anyone can be adopted into a Great House.

Head of State: Her Majesty the Sedera, Fendrina Vadeni Quarrovth
Head of Government: Head of the Majority, Councillor Idril Quarrovth
Capital City: Pelagis

Chosen Ambassador to the DU: Ninirassour Moominseth
Nation's opinion towards democracy: Of the three Great Houses represented on the Council, Myroria's legislature, two - Quarrovth and Vrotrith - are committed to further democratic reform, though they disagree on by what process this should happen. Likewise, two Houses - Quarrovth and Moomintroth - are committed to the Middle Way, a Myrorian approach to the "rule of the people" that is steeped in ancient tradition. Most families in Myroria are tied to a Great House through oath. By the legal severing of these bonds, or the transfer of these bonds to another House, the common people can affect who represents them on the Council, though the leadership of each House chooses Councillors themselves. A census conducted every five years reorganizes the Council according to the changes in these oaths, apportioning seats to each House depending on the proportion of members their group has.
Does your nation have a negative opinion of any current members of the DU? Myroria has a neutral view of most members of the DU. It is tied in alliance with Plembobria and McMasterdonia through comembership in the Novrith Pact.
Is your nation currently at war? No, but forces are on standby to deploy to Rhuvanland if our ally, Imperium Augustum, requires them.
 
Conventional long name: The Marä of Naizerre
Conventional short name: Naizerre

Head of Government: Ngê Nbïä President Mboto 'Jack' Jones
Capital City: Tögbätä

Chosen Ambassador to the DU: Teofilo Tsanka
Nation's opinion towards democracy: Is important, but not to the detriment of the Marä.

Is your nation currently at war? Yes
If yes, then with whom? The Syrixian Empire.

I, Ngê Nbïä Mboto Jones, swear to promote the ideals of peace, freedom and progress among the other nations of Eras.

Brief description of your government's structure: Follows the model of the U.S. government model with a slightly more simplified judicial system. The biggest change is the foreign-domestic split. The assembly and senate are split in that domestic and foreign policy bills originate in each house respectively. Bills must pass both houses, and be signed by either the president or prime minister, President in the case of foreign/intelligence bills and Prime Minister in domestic bills, and the cabinet member to which the bill correlates. The PM and Pres each have cabinets to aid them in their respective duties. Domestic for PM are the ministers, and Foreign/Domestic for Pres are secretaries. If the Pres/PM or Cabinet Member vetoes, then it can be overruled by 2/3 of the house it originated in. Other than that, it is almost exactly the same.
