Commonwealth Treaty Organisation
General Assembly Resolution[/big]

Resolution 0019
Adopted by the General Assembly on 17th October 2017

The General Assembly,

Concerned by the delay which was witnessed in the release of Lakhzovian election results which has cast a shadow of doubt over the validity of said elections,

Noting the allegations of electoral misconduct which have been raised by the International Electoral Monitoring Group, a coalition of thirty one international non-governmental organisations who have lodged several concerns as to the conduct of the Lakhzov elections,

Acting in the support of democracy and those free institutions which exist in Lakhzovia,

1. Rejects at this time the results of the Lakhzov election.

2. Reserves the right to recognize the results of the election, as presented by President Kadassa, once an independent body has verified the results and concerns of misconduct have been satisfactorily addressed.

3. Commissions an observation team to visit Lahkzovia to investigate claims of electoral misconduct where observers may have access to any and all data relevant to the elections.

4. Requests Lakhzovia adopt the recommendations of the East Moreland report on the Vilniz Chemical Plant (noting recommendation four has been satisfied). The CTO further requests that the review identified in article three be reported on publicly or copies of the findings and subsequent recommendations of the review be made available to the international community and the Secretary General of the CTO.

5. Endorses the East Moreland Four Point Plan and urges Lakhzovia to engage with the plan, noting that the Utman have made known their readiness to negotiate.

6. Nominates Sakura Sheppard to chair the negotiations under point four of the above mentioned plan.

Sporting Hub / Mundus Boxing Federation OOC
« on: October 06, 2017, 11:05:44 PM »

This is half about a rolling calendar project and half about trialing a new sports system in terms of generation of results (this one uses dice rolls) and I believe boxing is something most people have some understanding of so it seemed an appropriate sport to test this out with.

How does this work?

Basically you pick a weight class and fill out the stats form as indicated, various fights are then arranged (you may arrange your own and submit them to the Federation OOCly that's me for consideration)- results generated by yours truly as per usual. There will be mini events throughout to give bonuses and such these will be explained as they come up.

I will state that this system does I repeat does include the possibility for injury which will affect stats in the short term meaning if your boxer picks up an injury it factors in a recovery period.

My advice is treat this like one of those adventure books on page one you make a decision and then go to whichever page you're directed to and make another choice. Each boxer will face choices as things develop so in a way it's more like a career game as opposed to a fight game.

Each fight night will see a fight card consisting of a headliner, an undercard and other fights as appropriate. Judges will be randomly generated as we go as will referee's. Opponents will be randomly generated if required.

I advise people to do this gradually and not sign too many people up at once.


Weight classes

Flyweight: Minimum weight is 45 kg (Max is 51 kg)
Super Flyweight: Minimum weight is 50 kg (Max is 57 kg)
Bantamweight: Mimimum weight is 57 kg (Max is 65 kg)   
Featherweight: Minimum weight is 62 kg (Max is 68 kg)
Super Featherweight: Minimum weight is 66 kg (Max is 72 kg)
Lightweight: Minimum weight is 70 kg (Max is 77 kg)
Super Lightweight: Minimum weight is 75 kg (Max is 80 kg)
Welterweight: Minimum weight is 78 kg (Max is 85 kg)
Super Welterweight: Minimum weight is 83 kg ( Max is 89 kg)
Middleweight: Minimum weight is 87 kg (Max is 93 kg)
Light Heavyweight: Minimum weight is 91 kg (Max is 100 kg)   
Heavyweight: Minimum weight is 98 kg (No Max)


Stats explained

Each boxer will have a total of 60 points split between the following categories, a maximum of ten points per category (this is at point of creation and does not account for bonuses)

1) Physical Strength - self explanatory how much brute strength does your boxer have? The stronger they are the harder they punch and that will increase their chances.

2) Mental Strength - how determined is your boxer? Someone with good mental strength will persevere and keep going a weaker minded one may break if faced with a stronger opponent

3) Speed - how fast are they?

4) Hook
5) Jab
6) Uppercut
7) Counter Punch

For these four the stat determines how sharp and accurate that type of punch is the higher the number the sharper and more accurate.

8) Stamina - how long can your boxer last? A boxer with good stamina can take a beating and go the distance, someone with less stamina is more likely to have the fight stopped or be knocked out.

9) Aggression - How aggressive is your boxer? A higher number indicates an attacking fighter a lower number a more patient competitor. High aggression can intimidate the opposition.

10) Personality - This is a general term applying to cover psychological aspects, sponsorship deals and stuff (more mini event stuff) this may also affect positioning in fight cards. The higher the number the more charming, likable etc the person is.

Historical Wars / The Crusades OOC Discussion
« on: October 04, 2017, 12:46:21 AM »
Ok so with Vanora having gone on the map thus establishing a Holy Land, it's opened up the possibility to explore a little further back in history than we normally tend to. In this instance I'd like to play out the Crusade era - these are based on factbooks known to have happened and it allows us to explore not just the history of our nations but also historical figures and help establish a part of a nations history.

I therefore propose to (subject to interest) RP the Crusade era as it were starting from the first Crusade and seeing where we get to. I am aware that not every nation is Christian or Muslim in fact forms of Paganism seem to dominate the nations of Mundus so I think given the historical nature it would be fair to allow people to RP as a character from one of these nations if they so wish - I do intend to have medieval Achkaerin involved so I can RP the establishment of a relationship that will help in fleshing out Vanora in the MT setting.

Final points I would propose 12th century (1100's) as a general setting time wise but also an understanding that we wouldn't necessarily have the same number of crusades as happened in RL (which I believe to be almost 20), given Mundus's preference of Paganism and the likely diminished number of directly affected nations I think the number would be far less than this on Mundus.

So thoughts, comments?

Factbooks and Maps / The Holy Duchy of Vanora (Historical Nation)
« on: October 01, 2017, 02:51:19 PM »

Motto:- "Wisdom in All Things and From All Things Wisdom"
National Anthem:- Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory

BACKGROUND
[/b][/u]

The Holy Duchy of Vanora is regarded as the Holy Land of Mundus, the nation one of the most ancient on Mundus has a troubled past having been for a long time fought over and not only on religious grounds, it's been occupied by several powers throughout the ages including the Rus Empire (circa 586 BC - 470 BC) and the Holy Empire of Achkaerin (63 BC - 313 AD). Vanora has a complicated history with certain other nations such as the Kingdom of Abydos who according to the Christian and Jewish faiths held the Vanoran's in slavery (as per the book of Exodus). 

In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the land that present day Vanora occupies became ravaged by the Crusades risking the division of the land between powerful Lords in the aftermath however the nation of Vanora was brought into being by William Jerome a Christian knight and one of the heroes of the final defence of Jerusalem during the Crusades. Soon after however in the 15th Century the Crusader states lacked significant support and the state weakened until the majority Jewish people of the region established a nation unifying what was left.

In the 16th and 17th Centuries fearing a new wave of religious invasions a Convention of Faith was held in Jerusalem which outlined that the Duke of Vanora would permit and protect the religious sites of all three Abrahmic religions and grant pilgrims access. This effectively stopped conflict and from 1698 onwards the state has remained relatively stable thanks to the Convention of the Faith Treaty (1698).

Ever since the Convention of the Faith Treaty (1698) Vanora has operated a unique Governmental System, the Head of State - the Monarch (Duke/Duchess) is always Jewish, the Prime Minister is always either a Christian or Muslim and the Secretary of the Conference is always a from whichever faith the Prime Minister is not.

Rhythm Of Life


Sazame Hatake, the 'prodigy' Maiden Sister, still young and yet possessing the understanding of three out of five elements that make up the Rhythm of Life, she could be the first since the founding member of the order to master all five, yet everything about her may well be a lie- she doesn't even know her real name; all she does know is that her father was Achkaerinese and her mother was Toshikawan, so from the city of her birth Gowu and with the help of her closest friends Ran Mitarashi, Aria Kanzaki and others as well as her teacher Jin Fuma, Sazame goes in search of her past, what will she find and how will she deal with what she learns?

International Organisations / Network of Crowns
« on: September 26, 2017, 09:39:36 PM »

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.

Quote from:  Network of Crowns Charter
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

Signed at the Palace of the Goddess, Gaia, Lodja by:

Queen Viktoriya & the Goddess Sessifet on behalf of the Queendom of Lodja
King David III on behalf of the Kingdom of East Moreland
Emperor Peter Azurewind on behalf of the Holy Empire of Achkaerin
Supreme Commandant Isaac Wesley on behalf of the Empire of Revana
Sultan Albrich Augustus Adolf on behalf of the Constitutional Sultanate of Kaiser Adolf
 1. or annually for RP purposes
 2. or annually for RP purposes
 3. May need reworking, but essentially Lodja would, for example, not be able to charge East Moreland a 10% Tariff on Steel, if they charged Nya Aland (non-monarchy) 7% and Nya Aland had the lowest steel Tariff of any non-agreement nation.

An Invitation to the Governments of Mundus

My fellow Monarch's, Heads of State and Heads of Government

For many years now the great unspeakable in our world has not been any of the foes fought on the battlefield, nor any of the various virus's countered in recent times. It has in fact been Climate Change, across many cultures there exists a covenant of sorts between ourselves and whatever deities we choose to believe in that we have a duty to be good custodians of this creation. Now considering our situation on Mundus especially in light of the recent Morris Ice Shelf I feel the need to pose the question whether we are indeed being good custodians, because while it is true that many nations are trying to fight this menace of Climate Change it is an effort that lacks something in the way of unity, direction and ambition. It's also incumbent upon us to recognize that this is a matter that affects each and every one of us and that if our world is to survive that we need to work together on this issue and that starts by recognizing that this issue exists something few nations have done.

I therefore invite you my home the Marble Palace in Valtheim to discuss this matter.

Signed

Emperor Peter Azurewind

Having proven the truth of her father's controversial theories Melanie's set up on her own under the business name écho and now with a little help from some friends she goes in search of the answers to the greatest mysteries on Mundus.

Gowu, Achkaerin's nice Ardian jewel, a symbol of what can be achieved with tolerance, justice and a whole lot of other things. At its heart is the Tsu family the Chief Councillor mother, the recently returned father and the daughter who's still discovering things about her she never thought possible but whether it's them, the other politicians in the city, the military legends from the fort down the road or even the various cameo characters one thing's for certain this is Gowu, all are welcome- well everyone except the 'Queen of Toshindai' but that's a whole other story. So come and enter the city that makes no judgement's whatsoever.

Diplomacy and Events / "Achxit" Statement
« on: September 17, 2017, 11:52:23 PM »

Joint Statement Following the Achkaerin CTO Membership Referendum

People of Achkaerin, the Commonwealth and the world,

As those of you who followed the referendum campaigns and then the events of the day itself will now know Achkaerin has voted to leave the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation by the following result:


As Emperor I am satisfied that the margin of victory is significant enough, therefore I will not be invoking my right of veto and the result will stand (further details on the timetable to leaving the CTO are below). But first I will emphasize something this did not have to happen, but happen it has and it happened for a great many reasons. Having an organisation dedicated to the cause and principles of the Commonwealth is noble and is something that Achkaerin supports this is why the world has seen a great level of activity from Achkaerin in the CTO. However to then expect a nation like Achkaerin to account for half of the heavy lifting at practically all times is unacceptable and this is the reality that the CTO has seen for while every nation seems to talk the talk in the chamber of the General Assembly only two CTO nations seem to follow that through with action and that would be ourselves and East Moreland, the experience of these two nations in working together may be to our advantage at times but it cannot be expected that when there are nations in the CTO with larger military capabilities and at times better positioning in the geographic sense that an organisation of at least fifteen nations[1] can be expected to rely on two. We have seen it time and time again throughout the existence of the CTO and ultimately the lack of willingness from other members, with the exception of East Moreland, to step up on a regular basis has to be considered as a major factor in what has happened in the last twenty four hours.

It's also important to explain what this means, Achkaerin will leave the CTO but that is all we are leaving, we will seek to support our friends and our allies as we always have it is simply the case that if we are to contribute equally to an organisation then it is right and fair that everyone contributes as far as is possible to the same extent, I'm not so sure this is the case with the CTO it's a fantastic place for a debate but not for seeing the sort of action that the resolutions mandate. This is the single greatest issue that the CTO must address if it is to fulfill the purpose it aims to.

Having consulted with the Secretary General earlier this morning we have reached the following agreement as to how Achkaerin will proceed to leave the CTO:
  • A formal letter to the Secretary General will be delivered at the beginning of the Summit of Aldspring by the Achkaerinese Representative attending.
  • Achkaerin will formally leave the CTO at the end of the present Secretariat term[2]
  • Achkaerinese citizens who hold positions within the CTO such as those working within the Secretariat and subsidiary bodies will not be asked to resign in the case of the Secretariat this is because the Secretariat is by convention deemed to be independent of any nation, in the case of subsidiary nations these are also open to non CTO members.
  • Achkaerin will continue to abide by the Commonwealth Treaty and fulfill it's obligations under it until it's departure.

This may not be the brightest day for the CTO but we do hope that the organisation will take a look at the reasons behind this happening and address them.

Emperor Peter Azurewind of Achkaerin

Sakura Sheppard
Secretary General CTO



A Private Message to King David of East Moreland

My friend,

I'm not quite sure what I can say at this point, if I'm honest I'm not sure which way I wanted this to go on the one hand I see the value of a body like the CTO on the other I hear, understand and respect the concerns of the Achkaerinese people. Rest assured that Achkaerin has no intention of fading into the background when it comes to situations such as those our two nations have faced in recent times whether it be in Mercia or Uppsala, if they continue to happen we will be ready to lend whatever help is required since I fear that East Moreland may now find itself carrying the bag alone at the CTO - my most sincere apologies on this. I hope to be proven wrong but Achkaerinese stances won't change simply because we've left an organisation we weren't really getting out of.

Take one widowed Emperor of Achkaerin and mix him with one musical theatre star turned actress and what do you get? Some would say 'Penee' others 'Renter'. This is the story of the Emperor of Achkaerin Peter Azurewind and the new woman in his life Renee Sandiego, they live together they go to international events together they examine problems together, they've even got to the point where Renee is teaching musical theatre and drama lessons inside the Marble Palace, but are they really 'together?' well there's only one way to find out.

Economics and Industry / Uppsala Convention Court Tender
« on: September 14, 2017, 10:19:18 AM »
Advertisement from the Achkaerin Government

Those nations who were present at the original discussions and signing of the Uppsala Convention will recall the understanding under which a fail safe court system was devised, with the main court for cases under the Convention being located in Seaforth and auxiliary courts being located in Achkaerin, Dartfordia, East Moreland and Rokkenjima. This was a system designed to ensure that cases were heard on neutral ground and that the rights of all parties as enshrined under the Convention were upheld. Achkaerin following discussions with the other three nations mentioned now intends to right this system somewhat by locating the new main court within its borders.

Therefore we are advertising the building contract for the new court building, at minimum it must:
  • Be capable of housing several courtrooms and associated offices and prison cells
  • Be capable of housing the Convention Advisory Committee of the Uppsala Convention
  • Have additional offices for building staff
  • Be capable of accommodating lawyers and their clients for meetings
  • Have a cafe

Desirables
  • Room for a public information area on the Uppsala Convention
  • Room for a press room

The Achkaerinese government has already determined the site of the new building, choosing to locate it in Avalon approximately a five minute walk from the present Achkaerin auxiliary court located at our JAG Headquarters (this being where the recent Andean Genocide Trial took place). Submitted bids will be reviewed by the Avalon Chief Executive, the Judge Advocate General, the prospective building manager and the Achkaerinese representative to the Convention Advisory Committee.

OOC- helpful hint Avalon is a modern city at its centre but around the edges (where this is) it gets more traditional in building style.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY SUBMISSION FORM
Formal Name of Submitting Nation(s): The First Empire of Rokkenjima
Nations involved: The Republic of Lakhzovia
Title of Submission: In Response To Lakhzov Elections
Draft Resolution:

Quote
Commonwealth Treaty Organisation
General Assembly Resolution[/big]

Resolution [XXXX]
Adopted by the General Assembly on [Date]

The General Assembly,

Concerned by the delay which was witnessed in the release of Lakhzovian election results which has cast a shadow of doubt over the validity of said elections,

Dismayed by the warrant of arrest issued for Argan Tsagarai, Leader of the Democratic Alliance and the implications it has for the democratic institutions of Lakhzovia,

Noting the allegations of electoral misconduct which have been raised by the International Electoral Monitoring Group, a coalition of thirty one international non-governmental organisations who have lodged several concerns as to the conduct of the Lakhzov elections,

Acting in the support of democracy and those free institutions which exist in Lakhzovia,

1. Rejects the international arrest warrant for Argan Tsagarai.

2. Rejects at this time the results of the Lakhzov election until such a time actions have been taken by the Lakhzov Government to address concerns of electoral misconduct.

3. Reserves the right to reinstate the arrest warrant subject to evidence being presented. A vote of the General Assembly to amend this resolution shall be considered sufficient for such reinstatement.

4. Reserves the right to recognize the results of the election, as presented by President Kadassa, once an independent body has verified the results and concerns of misconduct have been satisfactorily addressed.

5. Commissions a CTO observation team to visit Lahkzovia to investigate claims of electoral misconduct where observers may have access to any and all data relevant to the elections.

6. Resolves subject to sections two, three, four and five of this resolution to take steps, proportionate in nature, as they become necessary to ensure the democratic will of the people of Lahkzovia, whatever it may be, is respected and adhered to.

7. Asserts that should article six of this resolution be triggered that the Republic of Lahkzovia be excluded from any subsequent debates on this matter.

Any other details:

An update of Achkaerin's proposal to reflect the situation as it presently stands.

Diplomacy and Events / The Lost Cradle
« on: September 12, 2017, 04:16:40 PM »
Approx 3km South of Meridian Island

It was a fair day up north, the Star Chaser was anchored off a small island known to the Achkaerinese as Alha, it wasn't big or imposing or anything but it was unique in that on it sat a sacred shrine, a shrine to the Goddess Kisara and her beasts. What was unusual was that this shrine had the complete collection, most only honoured the Goddess this didn't, this had the beasts, the guardians of the world. Standing at the shrine was Melanie Bell and her best friend Natasha Raines. They were reading a piece of paper from one of Melanie's fathers journals something known as the Cradle Riddle:

Quote from: Cradle Riddle
The Cradle lies where the eyes of mortals cannot see
where night and day, united with the earth, observe begins the path to enlightenment
the path that infinity and eternity carved in their struggle eons ago,
follow their gaze and take your first steps.

Do not stray to the Sun lest the earth swallow you whole and soul.
Instead let the faithful guide you through the valley of the virtuous chosen at rest,
and if the Goddess finds you worthy the way will be revealed to you.

Answer the challenges of Fire and Ice but remember life's rhythm if you wish to proceed and learn the truth that attaining the Cradles wealth permits.
But leave your burdens behind or you will succumb to the weight of the world and one must be as free as the birds to attain that which you seek.
Prove your worth, prove your virtue and you will see with clarity.

"So what exactly are we doing here?" Natasha asked
"Well for centuries people have been looking in the wrong place." Melanie said "Because the Dragonstone, the artifact this riddle is etched on was sitting in Vafleon but everyone forgets that the Dragonstone's original home is in Artaxia. So everything we're supposed to look for in the way of signposts and the like we should be looking for around here. Where night and day, united with the earth, observe begins the path to enlightenment."
"Of course Kisara's beasts of the sky." Natasha said

"Ninfeyn the lunar dragon and his brother Rekmiin the solar dragon, night and day" Melanie said pointing to statues of the two dragons looking out over the coast "And with them the great eagle Kriflon, the guardian of the land, otherwise known in basic elemental terms as earth. All three of them looking in a south east direction."
"Your Dad was bang on then, it is in Tokulel."
"Looks like." Melanie said, she wasn't dismissing it being somewhere else but there definitely appeared to be substance to back the theory up.
"Are you really going alone?" Natasha asked
"I have to." Melanie said "I'm following this to the end wherever it leads and I can't put you or the rest of the gang in jeopardy."
"You'd better find it." Natasha said
"I'll call in once a day." Melanie said
"You'd better or we come looking for you." Natasha said "Good luck."


Tokulel Two Weeks Later

Two weeks after that conversation with Natasha, Melanie driving her off road expedition spec jeep had crossed the northern border into Tokulel, it had been fairly simple crossing the border, going through customs and all the rest of it. She could have done without the thunderstorm opening up overhead, she'd driven about four hours from the border and had parked up at the side of the road, there was a pub or tavern or whatever the locals called it there. She picked up her shoulder bag and wandered inside, she was getting hungry and while she had packed some rations, she'd rather not use them unless she had no choice. She settled down at a table and put her order in with a waiter, then while she waited for her food she made her daily phone call to let Natasha know she was ok.



OOC- Ok so basic premise is a treasure hunt be whoever you like, a Tokulel local, a freelancer, someone else trying to solve the riddle perhaps even someone who doesn't want the riddle solved for fear of what it could potentially mean. People should think of the Cradle as something mysterious, no one knows what it is so there's a lot of wild theories around it - feel free to work with that.

In the words of CGJ

In the real world social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Reddit are frequently used by celebrities, politicians and others to offer their opinions, quickly comment on work events, and post pictures of them kissing babies (or for others to photograph them kissing women/men they shouldn't be). Since it's a tad-bit hard to write news posts whenever something like this happens, I'd like to open up a topic in this forum where anyone can post social media updates from their politicians or royalty about anything they like!

It can be done in quoted form, or you can post screenshots of fake Tweets/Facebook messages (see below). Once it's posted here, it should be considered public domain – meaning any news site can pick up on content. If you'd like, you can reply to Tweets/Facebook messages, too.

Only ask is that they remain SFW.

How to do it:
- If you're sad enough (like me), you can create a proper Twitter account for your character and link a Tweet to this post.
– Alternatively, you can use use LemmeTweetThatForYou to generate fake Tweets from that account and screenshot them. This is useful, particularly if you want to inflate the number of people favouriting/retweeting the post.
- For anything else (including Twitter, Facebook and iPhone texts), see here: Simitator (this allows you to download a .jpg of a fake post, which you can upload to Imgur/TinyPic, etc.) or Tweet Gen

So I'll start:
