OOC: This is the RP for the founding of the Association of Nations, a pro-democracy international organization that looks to promote and defend democratic values across the globe. Its founding was planned here! The AN has protocols for determining who qualifies as a democratic state, so no attempting to game the system. If your nation does not fit what the AN sets to out to champion you will be refused both OOC and IC.
Yet if your nation qualifies for the AN, ie is a republic or constitutional monarchy with democratic institutions, you are welcome to become a founding member by posting in this thread!

Fjármagn, Esþursia
Kjell Svane and Sören Högh each watched curiously.
"I've always gotten the sense he didn't like formal functions," Sören remarked as he sipped a glass of water.
"I just think he likes talking to people," Kjell replied. Indeed, the hall itself was rather formal, if understated. It was, in actuality, very Prydanian in style. That wouldn't be a shock though, Fjármagn was a town that had clear heritage with Prydanian vikings all of those centuries ago.
"Já," Sören replied as he and the Prime Minister watched King Tobias mingle with delegates.
"He can be quite a chatter box when he wants to be."
Tobias felt comfortable. It wasn't so different here then it was back home in Prydania in January. And this city was, well... it was where his grandfather had spent some time in his youth. He had made it his mission to follow up on that before departing.
That, though, was for later. Right now, though? Now was something else. The start of something else. The inauguration of something that he hoped would, in time, achieve something he very much believed in, deeply. The inauguration of an organization that save people from suffering what he'd suffered. What his country had suffered through.

THE CHARTER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS
(3 January 2024)
Preamble
THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE KINGDOM OF PRYDANIA, UNION OF GREAT ESÞURSIA, NORSIAN EMPIRE, SYRIXIAN EMPIRE, KHASTENIAN REPUBLIC, REPUBLIC OF ULTRAMONT, KINGDOM OF MINTORIA, UNITED TRIBES OF ESSALANEA, COMMONWEALTH OF AUBERVIJR, KINGDOM OF JUSTOSIA, REPUBLIC OF HEXASTALIA, KINGDOM OF MERILIA, REPUBLIC OF SOROVIA, IMPERIAL FEDERATION OF GOYANES, KALIVESE REPUBLIC, GREATER TARDINEANNI EMPIRE, IMPERIUN SUAVIDICI, STATE OF IRAELIA, KINGDOM OF ANDRENNE, PRINCIPALITY OF SIL DORSETT, STATE OF SEINOKU, FIVE PEOPLES OF GWLADCAN, GRAND DUCHY OF VIVANCO, REPUBLIC OF ZEMNAYA SVOBODA, AND GREATER ILIAN COALITION OF THE EASTERN LEAGUES OF ITREA AND ICETIO AND THE WESTERN REGENT KINGDOM OF TAVERIS AND ISALIA
Convinced that the pursuit of peace based upon justice and international cooperation is vital for the continued existence of human society and civilization,
Reaffirming their devotion to the spiritual and moral values which are the common heritage of their peoples and the true source of individual freedoms, political liberty and the rule of law, principles that form the basis of all true, genuine democracy,
Believing that, for the maintenance of these ideals and the protection of democratic institutions against those political forces set against the freedom of peoples, there is a need for a closer unity between the like-minded, democratic states of Eras,
Considering that, to respond to this need and the expressed aspirations of their peoples in this regard, it is necessary forthwith to create an organization that will bring democratic states in closer association for the protection of their ideals,
Have in consequence resolved to establish an Association of Nations consisting of a committee of Representatives of governments and of a consultative assembly, and have for this purpose adopted this Charter of the Association of Nations.
Article I. The Establishment of the Association of Nations
A multinational and intergovernmental organization, the Association of Nations, hereinafter referred to as “the Association,” shall hereby be established by this Charter.
The action of the Association under this Charter shall be effected through the instrumentality of an established Association Assembly and a rotating Association Council, with a permanent Secretariat.
Article II. Aim of the Association of Nations
The aim of the Association is to achieve greater unity and cooperation between its member-states for the purpose of realizing and safeguarding the ideals and principles which are their common democracy and their commitments to the liberties of peoples.
This aim shall be pursued by the organs of the Association by discussion of questions of common concern and by agreements and common action in economic, legal, political, and administrative and in the maintenance and further realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
Participation in the Association shall not affect the collaboration of its members in the work of other international organizations and unions to which they are partied.
Article III. On Membership
The members of the Association shall be those nation-states that are signatories to this Charter. Members of the Association shall be hereinafter referred to as “the Member-States.”
Every Member-State of the Association must accept the principles of the rule of law, of free and fair democracy.
States within the Association who allow their democratic systems of government to degrade and fall victim to authoritarian power structures will be suspended by a simple majority vote of the Association’s Member-States and expelled by a ⅔ majority vote of Member-States.
States may apply to be observers in the AN without a membership vote.
Article IV. The Association Assembly
The Association Assembly shall consist of appointed Representatives of the Member-States of the Association.
The Association Assembly shall meet at stated intervals from time to time as occasion may require at the Seat of the Association or at such other place as may be decided upon.
At meetings of the Association Assembly, each Member-State shall be entitled to one vote and may possess within the Assembly no more than three Representatives.
The Association Assembly shall elect one member from itself as Secretary General of the Association. The office of Secretary General will then rotate among all Association Assembly Representatives every three months, following the list of member states.
The sitting Secretary General shall appoint deputies to aid in their duties as they see fit.
Article V. The Seat of the Association
The Seat of the Association is established at CITY, NATION.
The Association Council may, at any time, decide that the Seat of the Association be established elsewhere.
Article VI. Association Committees
The Association Secretariat may, at any time, propose the creation of an Association Committee—a subsidiary organization of the Association that serves to, in any capacity deemed necessary, further the cause of the Association.
The creation of any new committees is subject to the majority approval of both the Association Council and the Association Assembly.
