DATABASE OF INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS AND EMBARGOES
This used to be a thread on the old forum that was intended to be used as a reference guide to what sanctions/embargo's were in place against which nations, who put them in place and why they were put in place. For the last couple of years there hasn't really been a 'sanction heavy' atmosphere but we've got various RP's now which may involve these so it seemed a good idea to revive the thread.
Please note that this is a reference thread so you should still be announcing sanctions etc in through press offices or media outlets.
The following categories of sanctions may be used (this section is copied directly from the old forum thread). If anyone has other categories they would like to suggest, PM me and I'll consider adding them.
Diplomatic: Removal of diplomatic ties, e.g. Embassies etc.
Trade (Passive): Bans on imports or exports from a country.
Trade (Active): Same as above, except with a military presence enforcing, e.g. blockading ports.
Arms/Military: Trade Sanctions which only extend to the arms manufacturing industry, i.e. not supplying a nation with weapons. Includes restrictions on military movement of the target nation nearby the country issuing the sanctions.
Sporting/Cultural: Prohibits sporting events and cultural events between the two countries. Seen as a form of psychological warfare in that it affects the patriotism of the populous rather than pressuring the government. (note please that stuff such as the Mundus Games may not fit into this category unless you're going to say that you refuse to compete because of that nations presence)
Recognition: The government of the target nation is not acknowledged as the legitimate government by the imposing nation.
Targeted Sanctions: Financial and asset freezes, targeted at government members.
The following is the submission form for sanctions, after which I'll add them into a table to keep track of them for the purposes of the reference list. Also please when withdrawing sanctions listed here give notice of the withdrawal here so the information is as up to date as possible.
