Council
The Council is the organisation’s overarching decision-making body. It is composed of ambassadors from member countries and observers from the Organisation’s funding countries, and is chaired by the Secretary-General. It meets regularly to discuss key work of the Organisation, share concerns and take decisions by consensus. Once a year, the Council meets for the Ministerial Council Meeting, which brings together heads of government, economy, trade and foreign ministers from member countries to monitor and set priorities for our work, discuss the global economic and trade context, and delve further issues such as the budget, accession and other priorities.

Committees
The Organisation works through more than 300 committees, expert and working groups which cover almost all areas of policy making. Our committees propose solutions, assess data and policy successes, and review policy actions among member countries. They cover the same issue areas as government ministries, such as education, finance, trade, environment, development, and liaise with country-level experts. Committee participants come from member and funding countries, and represent state bodies, academia, business and civil society. Around 40 000 people take part in these meetings every year. Some discussions can evolve into negotiations in which all Organisation countries define and follow common global rules.

Secretariat
The Organisation Secretariat carries out the work of the Organisation. It is led by the Secretary-General and composed of directorates and divisions that work with policy makers and shapers in each country, providing insights and expertise to help guide policy making based on evidence in close coordination with committees. Directorates report to the Secretary-General. The 3,300 employees of the Secretariat include economists, lawyers, scientists, political analysts, sociologists, digital experts, statisticians and communication professionals, among others. The Organisation also has centres in Beaconsfield, Hadden, Neuanfang, Kimbria, and Zhurovka, which are part of the Organisation’s public affairs and communications team.


Funding Countries
Due to the nature of the Organisation’s foundation, it willingly accepts funding from outside countries to support itself and its Members. While all Funding Countries are guaranteed observership, they negotiate bespoke and situational deals with the Organisation regarding what they want to contribute and, in some cases, get in return. This makes the Organisation a more dynamic negotiation forum for all countries involved, in comparison to set terms within the constitution articles.

MEMORANDUM ON YELLOWTAIL ECONOMIC ENGAGEMENT TREATY ADMISSION

On behalf of His Majesty we wish to congratulate the Kingdom of Prydania, Empire of Norsia, and Kingdom of Korova on the foundation of the Yellowtail Economic Engagement Treaty, or YEET, and the Kingdom of Saintonge for its earnestness in funding the Treaty and its members.

Ulstome’s Proposal to the Member States of Yellowtail

Spoiler

In recognition of the goals and aspirations made by the member states of the Yellowtail Economic Engagement Treaty (hereby referred to as Yellowtail) Ulstome wishes to express its deepest support and congratulations. We wish to express our interests in providing the member states of Yellowtail with the appropriate industrial aid, at this point in time, for the economic development and social wellbeing of your nations and people. To create a better future together.

We have drawn up proposals for Ulstome’s involvement through firms in each yellowtail member state.
1) With regards to the Kingdom of Korova, we will be focusing on developing heavy industries as well as the steel industry to support Korova’s domestic supply. Ulstome also wishes to extend its offer of medical assistance that it has offered to Essalanea to Korova.
2) With regards to the Kingdom of Prydania, similar to the cooperative approach which we wish to proceed with Korova, we will focus initially on the development of the steel industry and we will also provide assistance with various heavy industries.
3) With regards to the United Clans of Essalanea, for us to send Ulstome medical personnel, equipment and medical supplies to Essalanea in order to set up additional hospitals and facilities for the treatment, education and training of Essalanean medical staff and people.

Lastly, Ulstome wishes to remind the Members of Yellowtail that it is, as was agreed under our previous administration, currently already participating in joint coordination with the Essalanea government to provide assistance, capital and training through Ulstome companies to Essalanea. This can be clearly demonstrated with the Javourinson Fuingim energy company operating to access and exploit the nations untapped natural gas reserves and our Taverson steel company to provide much assistance in the development of the nation’s steel industry so that it can have the skills and technology in the long term to further develop their both local and national economies. We see the so far success of this cooperation as a clear example of the benefits further cooperation between Ulstome and the member states of Yellowtail could bring through the transfer of skills, the creation of employment and the increase in capital.
