THE FOOD SECURITY ORGANIZATION


The Food Security Organization was founded in 1956 in the wake of the Fascist War. What began as a loose organization of neutral nations looking to provide relief to war-torn countries soon grew into a formal organization dedicated to ensuring stability of food production and fair prices. Former belligerents from both sides of the War were invited to strengthen the group's food and agricultural output. The FSO is headquartered in Saintes, the capital of the Kingdom of Saintonge.

Merilia
Ulstome
Lanceria

Saintes Agreement

In light of the devastating conflict that has rocked civilized society to the core, world leaders across Eras whose nations are leaders in the export of foodstuffs and agricultural products agree to the formation of the Food Security Organization. The organization is dedicated to the stabilization of the world’s food supply and holds the following five goals as their core mission:

  1. The stabilization of prices to ensure a fair market for all nations;
  2. The security of supply to ensure ready access to foodstuffs and agricultural products;
  3. The assurance that farmers and producers are adequately compensated;
  4. The collaboration of nations to develop technologies and techniques to improve agricultural production; and
  5. The coordination of export based nations with their markets.
With these goals in mind the leaders of the Kingdom of Saintonge, the Imperial Federation of Goyanes, the Federal Commonwealth of Demescia, the Kingdom of Prydania, the Most Serene State of Predice, the Commonwealth of Merilia, the Republic of Saperisole, and the United Kingdom of Ulstome come together for the good of the world.

Article 1

The organization shall be known as the Food Security Organization (FSO).

Article 2

All nations party to the Saintes Agreement pledge themselves to the founding five goals of the Food Security Organization and to work internally, with one another, and with markets across Eras to fulfil them.

Article 3

3.1:
Any nation that is a net exporter of foodstuffs or agricultural products may petition to become a Full Member of the FSO by a majority vote of its existing full membership.

3.2: Any nation that is a net importer of foodstuffs or agricultural products may become an Observer Member of the FSO by a majority vote of its existing full membership.

3.3: Any Full or Observing Member of the FSO can be suspended and demoted from Full or Observer status by a majority vote of existing full membership.

Article 4

4.1:
The leadership of the FSO consists of a co-equal Council of Representatives with membership drawn from the Full Member Nations.

4.2: The Chair of the Council of Representatives rotates among the representatives of the Full Member Nations on an annual basis.

To Whomever It May Concern,

The Kingdom of Korova expresses interest in observership status within the Food Security Organisation. Korova, as a highly food unstable nation, has a great interest in furthering the Organisation's pursuit of fair pricing and stable production for the sake of itself and its fellow Yellowtail nations.

As a previously notable food exporter, until the modern troubles that the nation is recovering from, Korova also finds the joining of the FSO as a preparatory action for a return to this status and a way of building its growing industry around the Organisation's common standards.

Signed,
Tiran Arthur Tatarov
Sekretar’ Serge Bykov

Animu place is a place where we have more humans than miles of land,which means that we need more exported food i've seen that many fresh food exports have parasites which could be very unhealthy for our nation.We hope you read this and accept us

Hi, this is an in-character RP organisation, please familiarise yourself with the Eras setting before posting. Thanks.

To Whomever This May Concern,

The Kingdom of Faltsu expresses great interest in joining the FSO. Faltsu just recently came out of a reconstruction era following a 2 year civil war and is willing and able to help others in their time of need. During the civil war, a drought came and there was a shortage of food. Luckily the Imperium was there to provide aid, but the same cannot be said about others. With this in mind, the Kingdom of Faltsu, represented by Emily Marx, would like to join the FSO to help others in need.

Thank you for reading,

- King Xel of Faltsu

The Lancerian Empire is very interested in joining the FSO. There are few things more fundamental than the right to food and nutrition to feed the families of Eras. Lanceria would be proud to contribute to this cause. We wish to formally apply at this time.


(OOC: I'm pretty late to the party but this is likely the type of thing that Lanceria would've joined in the post Fascist War years, especially as a neutral nation through the war that was probably in a good position to provide some international aid to this end. If you're interested in sort of retroactively saying Lanceria was involved since the 50s or 60s, I'd be good with that.)
 
- To Whomever It May Concern,

The Ministry for Diplomatic Relations would like to express United Kingdom of Great Osynstry and Cymbria's interest in gaining observer status within the Food Security Organisation. The Osynstric Kingdom is increasingly under pressure to import food due to our large, growing population and demand for food we simply cannot grow in our own nation, and as a government, we wish to ensure that the food that we import is of good quality and from reputable sources who respect the producers. The Ministry speaks on behalf of the Prime Minister, Jeremy Wilson, when we state that it is of utmost importance to ensure that these two are guaranteed, and thus joining the FSO as an observer nation would be the ideal way to carry this out. The devolved administrations of Weskershyre, Lynseshyre and Cymbria/Cymbreland have all expressed their support for this application.

We therefore, with this letter, wish to apply to the Food Security Organisation, and as a net importing nation, we would be applying for observer nation status.

Signed:
- Foreign Minister for Great Osynstry, Richard S. Anderson
(on behalf of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Osynstry and Cymbria, Jeremy C. Wilson)
 
Statement of the delegation of the Kingdom of Saintonge to the Food Security Organisation

Good day!

This year has been a terrible year for one of our member states, the Most Serene State of Predice. It is suffering an invasion of its sovereign territory by a fierce rival, New Aleman. As such, there is another big humanitarian crisis in northern Meterra.

Saintonge had done its part by evacuating and accepting hundreds of thousands of Predicean children so that they would not suffer from the depredations of war. We are setting up boarding schools for the Predicean children in Predicean Youth Communities. We want them to have a normal life, better that what they would otherwise have in conflict zones. We are committed to providing shelter, food, clothing, education, and all the support needed for these children. Saintonge and its people are doing everything they can to help their neighbours.

We, however, recognise our limitations as well. The Kingdom of Saintonge is already mobilising its strategic food reserves to feed the children. However, for the programme to be sustainable, Saintonge would need the assistance of its partners at the Food Security Organisation.

The projection is that we would need to provide 1.8 billion kilocalories worth of food per day at the peak of the programme. Right now, the consumption for the programme is 700 million kilocalories per day; we expect this to rise within the next few months as the children come in.

This is why we are appealing to our fellow food producing nations to send us assistance, in cash or in goods, for the programme. Part of our commitment as an organisation is to ensure ready access to food; we believe this is especially crucial for the most vulnerable: the children. It is again time for our venerable organisation to step up and live to its motto: “Feeding the World.”

Thank you very much and we hope for your response.

Kingdom of Prydania

Re: the request from Ambassador Goudeau of the Kingdom of Saintonge

The Kingdom of Prydania rejoined the FSO knowing full well the responsibilities of membership. Additionally the people of Prydania know full well what the horrors of war mean for society's most vulnerable and will do what it can to aid others in need. His Majesty's G will mobilize shipments of wheat, potatoes, pork, and fish to aid in lessening the burden on the Kingdom of Saintonge.

Re: the request on the behalf of Ambassador Goudeau of Saintonge to the FSO
As an observing nation of the FSO, and a serving member of the international community, I speak on behalf of my country by stating that Esthursia will be there to aid the Food Security Organisation in this crisis.
This is the first major crisis whereby the Esthursian nation has been affiliated with the Food Security Organisation in some form. Although we are a net importer of food, we still have the potential, and the impetus, to do as much as we possibly can - we must and therefore will help fund the production of food supplies and aid with its transportation to the relevant locations. His Royal Highness' Government has initiated a spending plan whereby Esthursia will directly fund towards the Food Security Organisation until there is a foreseeable end to this crisis of global importance. We know as much as anyone that a humanitarian crisis of this scale is hard to tackle, and works against the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions - and that we must act fast to counter its long-term effects. We know as well as anyone that war should not detract from the basic right for every child to be well-fed and looked after, and that the loss of this right can affect a child's life permanently - and hope that our involvement can ensure that at least one family doesn't have to go down such a dark path, and many more with them.
Thank you, and we look forward to continuing to work with the rest of the Organisation to ensure that food poverty of all kinds can be minimalised and countered wherever possible.

Ultramont Ministry of the Exterior
12 Février 1952

Most excellent nations of the Food Security Organization,

The Republic of Ultramont wishes to seek full membership within the organization.

During the Fascist Wars, we do not boast nor deny that we fought for those who sought power and supremacy. It is through this organization that we desire to make our amends and supply the world with our bounty.


Your acceptance should be appreciated. Ultramont shall provide to feed those who demand an end to their hunger.

Take care to know, messieurs and mesdames, our most distinguished salutations,

Jean Baptiste Leroy
Minister of the Exterior



Les plus excellentes nations de l'organisation de la sécurité alimentaire,

La République de l'Outremont à le désir d'acquérir l'adhésion dans l'organisation.

Pendant les guerres fascistes, nous ne doutons ni se vantons que notre pays nous ait battu cherchant la pouvoir et la suprématie. C'est par cette organisation que nous souhaitons de faire nos excuses et d'amener au monde notre générosité.

Votre garanti sera apprécié. l'Outremont fournira afin de nourrir ceux qui demande un fin à leur faim.

Nous vous prions de croire, messieurs, mesdames, nos salutations les plus distinguées,

Jean Baptiste Leroy
Ministre de l'étrangère

Prestigious and honorable members of the Food Security Organization:

The Grand Sultan Osmanek I of Aydin seeks to follow the example of the many food exporters of Eras. By joining the FSO, his Majesty the Sultan seeks to assist in the effort of providing stability to the global food market and providing support for the millions who currently do not have access to proper nutrition, as charity and assistance to the disenfranchised are key tenets of his faith as a devoted Mehrabist. And so in that vein, the Sovereign nation of Aydin would like to humbly request admittance into the Food Security Organization.

Sincerely,
Asili Polat
Minister of Foreign Affairs

[b]Country[/b]:
[b]Admit Aydin to the FSO?[/b]: <Yay> <Nay> <Abstain>

Bjartney Solbakken sighed.

"While the FSO has remained politically neutral since the end of the Fascist Wars His Majesty's government must consider the full extent of the FSO application from the Sultanate of Aydin. This is a country that has played a destabilizing role in northern Craviter. Ask the Arcanstotskans about that. They played a role in destabilizing the Luscova Pact. And here we are... "

Bjartney sighed again.
"My country helped found this organization in the aftermath of the Fascist Wars. Our ability to rejoin it was a source of national pride. We will not see it destroyed or even weakened by a force such as the regime in Aydin, who will use our mandate- a basic necessity of life- to play politics for their or their masters' ends. I am therefore reluctantly, but firmly, casting Prydania's vote."

Country: Prydania
Admit Aydin to the FSO?: <Nay>

Giorgia Arcuri began: “I must agree with my Prydanian colleague. Aydin is a destabilising force, and simply cannot be trusted. Aydin is a country that is not happy with its lot, its position in the world. They cannot be trusted to not bring their politics into this fundamentally apolitical organisation. That is why I, as Predice’s representative will cast a firm vote against Aydin’s membership.”

Santonian Ambassador Pascal-Florent Goudeau shuffled the papers in front him as he leant forward towards his microphone. "The Kingdom of Saintonge is sceptical of the data made available to us with regards to the Sultanate of Aydin meeting requirements as a net food exporter, in order to be able to become a full member of the Food Security Organisation." Ambassador Goudeau smirked as he restrained himself from wryly commenting something about the data being like Aydini skyscrapers and that the sultanate's most well-known export is simply Aydini cheese*.

The Santonian ambassador continued, "As such, the Kingdom of Saintonge cannot support the Sultanate of Aydin as a full member of the Food Security Organisation at this time."

Country: Saintonge
Admit Aydin to the FSO?: <Nay>

After casting Saintonge's vote, Mr Goudeau said, "We do note the interest of the sultanate to assist in the FSO's endeavours, so we would encourage them to apply instead as an observer member if ever their effort to become a full member does not get accepted."



*OOC Note: In Santonian, "Aydini skyscapers" and "Aydini cheese" are two idioms:
Les grattes-ciels aydinoises (“Aydini skyscrapers”): a construction built solely to deceive others into thinking that a situation is better than it really is
Fromage aydinois (“Aydini cheese”): gonorrhoea

Lanceria has reviewed the application of Aydin and found itself in agreement with the assessments made by the previous representatives. With that in mind, Lanceria can not support the application of the Sultanate of Aydin as a full member of the FSO at this moment.

Like Saintonge, we encourage the Sultante to apply as an observer member to begin the process of coordination and show their dedication to the goals of the FSO.


Country: Lanceria
Admit Aydin to the FSO?: <Nay>
