Network of Crowns
The Network of Crowns is not a military alliance nor an organisation designed to take away national sovereignty. It is an organisation designed to recognise and celebrate the unique and varied cultures of the various monarchies that exist upon Mundus. It is our view that these nations, despite their difference in language, culture and history share a common bond forged by the rule of their monarchs. This is something we believe should be cherished and celebrated.
Recognising the unique role of a monarch.
Understanding the responsibility this role places upon an individual and their family.
Committed to celebrating the service given by monarchs to their nation.
Hopeful that monarchies can co-operate in a range of areas
The nations signing this document hereby agree to the following conditions.
1. That monarchs will act towards each other with friendship and kindness. That any disputes shall be settled by peaceful means whenever possible using various international organisations to bring about mutually acceptable solutions.
2. That monarchs will host Ambassadors of other member nations within their capital. These Ambassadors are to present themselves to the monarch within 24 hours of being summoned in writing.
3. That every two years[1] a Festival of Crowns shall take place. This shall be a Cultural Festival to be hosted in a member nation choosen by a panel made up of one representative per nation. Each representative may nominate one city as host and may cast one vote, this however may not be for their nation. A nation may not host two consecutive Festivals.
4. That every two years[2], to be staggered with the Festival of Crowns, a Tournament of Crowns shall take place. This shall be a sporting event similar to the Mundus Games but on a smaller scale with each member nation choosing two Sports. The host shall be choosen by a panel made up of one representative per nation. Each representative may nominate one city as host and may cast one vote, this however may not be for their nation. A nation may not host two consecutive Tournaments.
5. The Network of Crowns shall operate a system known as the Grand Tour, where a direct descendent of the monarch may travel to any other member to live, work or study. While they are in a host nation they are to be considered as part of the host nations royal family so far as practical.
6. Members of the Network of Crowns agree that they shall ensure any Tariffs in existence are no higher for members than for the lowest tariffed non-monarchy nation which does not hold a Trade Agreement.[3]
7. Member nations agree that should a natural disaster or act of God befall a fellow member they shall take whatever action is within their power to offer support.
8. Member nations agree to an annual Council of Crowns. This shall take place in a rotation basis determined on the order by which this Treaty is signed. This Council shall be attended by either the Monarch or their appointed person and shall discuss matters of international importance as well as co-operation between members.
9. This Treaty shall be open to any nation that has any form of monarchy so far as they ratify this Treaty. A member may be blocked from joining should a petition of more than 70% of members be presented within 48 hours of the disputed nation signing this Treaty.
10. A nation may leave this Treaty at any time by giving 30 days written notice.
11. This Treaty shall come into force from the 1st November 2016

The Holy Empire of Achkaerin would like to formally propose an amendment to the current Charter of this organisation specifically Article Four currently stating:
"4. That every two years, to be staggered with the Festival of Crowns, a Tournament of Crowns shall take place. This shall be a sporting event similar to the Mundus Games but on a smaller scale with each member nation choosing two Sports. The host shall be chosen by a panel made up of one representative per nation. Each representative may nominate one city as host and may cast one vote, this however may not be for their nation. A nation may not host two consecutive Tournaments."
be amended to:
"4. That every two years, to be staggered with the Festival of Crowns, a Tournament of Crowns shall take place. This shall be a sporting event similar to the Mundus Games but on a smaller scale consisting of a number of core events with each member state choosing an additional event from a set list. The host shall be chosen by a panel made up of one representative per nation. Each representative may nominate one venue as host and may cast one vote, this however may not be for their nation. A nation may not host two consecutive Tournaments."
With this amendment proposed Achkaerin would also like to propose that the Tournament of Crowns be held.
OOC- ES now a member
Also quick question I seem to recall somewhere along the line that the Wills of Monarchs was discussed in relation to this - I think it was to do with Mercia but I'm not sure.

Notice of Petition
The First Empire hereby moves to block the so-called "Free Theocracy of Kaitaine" from joining the Network of Crowns. The "Free Theocracy" is neither a sovereign state nor a legitimate government, and is itself perpetrated by an organisation recognized as a terrorist organisation by the First Empire of Rokkenjima and the Kingdom of East Moreland. Allowing the "Free Theocracy" admittance into the Network of Crowns would be a move which would assist in the efforts of a terrorist enterprise to seek legitimacy, a pursuit this Network cannot be complicit in.
The First Empire encourages its fellow members to block the admittance of the "Free Theocracy" and preserve the integrity of the Network of Crowns.

Tsardom of Krimeon
The Tsardom wishes to inform the rest of the honorable members that it shall standby Rokkenjima's call for blocking the illegitimate and terrorist-stamped 'Theocratic Kaitaine', and urges the same procedure as well from the rest. It would otherwise set a dangerous precedent in which dangerously extremist organisations would be allowed to gain foothold in international diplomacy and spread their toxic influence, to which this Network above all can not be part of.

FYI I'll tidy the members list tonight and work out how many votes we need, then the countdown will begin.
-
OOC- To bar the Theocracy from joining they need 9 people saying no by Saturday evening UK time.
The Kingdom of East Moreland opposes the admission of the Bene Gesserit into the Network of Crowns.
-
The Tsardom of Krimeon opposes the admission of the Bene Gesserit into the Network of Crowns.
-
The Ecclesiastical State opposes the admission of the Bene Gesserit into the Network of Crowns.
-
5 more needed
-
OOC - under Article 9 of the charter the period of time nations have to present petitions is 48 hours which means that the time limit to do so would expire on Friday evening UK time.
-
Lodja votes no
-
The Iwi votes no
-
The Grand Duchy of Montsarre votes no.

Official Statement from The Kingdom of Vaguzia
Although we support almost all rebellion against the horrible, fascist, communist regime of Kaitaine, we can simply cannot support the Theocracy's request to join this organisation, this is mainly because a group known as the Truthsayers fights for the Theocracy and we consider the Truthsayers as a terrorist organisation, so we oppose the admission of the Free Theocracy of Kaitaine.
-
The Holy Kingdom of Cabbagelandiet votes no.
-
That's 9 votes therefore I believe the threshold of 70% is reached and the Theocracy of Kaitaine's application is blocked.
