Welcome to the International Forum!
‎‏‏‎ ‎
‎‏‏‎ ‎

The International Forum (or I.F.) is an international organization that seeks to maintain international peace and security, promote peaceful relations among nations, and to serve as the primary place of discussion and deliberation on matters of global concern.

All sovereign states on Urth are eligible to join the International Forum. States can either be members or observers. Both have the right to attend and speak in debates, but only members have a vote. The I.F. is divided into two organs called “Councils.” The Security Council, consisting of ten members, deals with matters affecting international safety and security. The General Council, consisting of all members, deals with all other matters of global concern. In order to be elected to the Security Council, a state must be a member of the Global Crisis Council, a separate but affiliated organization.

The current Secretary-General of the International Forum, who is the organization’s chief administrative officer and presiding officer of the General Council, is Remy Jacques of Alksearia. The current Chairperson of the Security Council (and chair of the Global Crisis Council) is Klara Sarinov of Durakia. The current members of the Security Council are: Asendavia, Tretrid, Alksearia, Axdel, Norgsveldet, South Peragen, Arkalarius, East Cerdani, Mexregiona, and Kurikia.

If your country wants a seat at the table, apply to join! Applicants are generally automatically admitted, unless their sovereignty is in dispute. States may apply by submitting a written request to the International Forum Secretariat in the form outlined below:

Dear Secretary-General,

On behalf of the Raonite People’s Democratic Republic, I am reaching out to the International Forum to correct what we feel is a grave error and injustice. At the current time, the seat Ni-Rao has held in the International Forum is being occupied by a government-in-exile that holds no legitimacy nor true sovereignty over Ni-Rao. In October of 2021, the Worker’s Council of the Revolution replaced the Empire of Ni-Rao as the governing institution of Ni-Rao and established the Raonite People’s Democratic Republic. While the methods or means by which this was accomplished may have their merits debated by the sovereign countries of the world, the simple reality remains that we are the only governing body of this country.

The remnants of the Empire of Ni-Rao, which consist of a figurehead Empress with no political power and a handful of former members of Parliament. The Council of Five Hundred, the Empire’s legislature, no longer exists, and can no longer enforce the effect of law anywhere. The Empire of Ni-Rao is maintained only by the support of the Acronian military. It is not a government, it is an extension of Acronis. Effectively, the entity claiming the seat of Ni-Rao in the International Forum is a second Acronian vote. There can be no greater injustice in this Forum,

We appeal to the International Forum to correct the error.

Most Sincerely,

Ria Oma
Vice-Chairman of the Worker’s Council of the Revolution
Director, Foreign Affairs Directorate


To: Ria Oma, Raonite People’s Democratic Republic

After receiving and deliberating upon your request, the International Forum Security Council has voted to decline. Therefore, the International Forum will continue to seat the Empire of Ni-Rao under the name Ni-Rao, as it has since its founding.

Sincerely,
Shano Tuvria
Secretary-General

Dear Secretary-General of International Forum. I, President Durin Førui of Dvergerland want to officaly become member of the IF. Having recently declared our independence from the National Republic of Tiervan.

Our nation has already been recognised by nations such as Norgsveldet, Meremaa, Dvalheim, New Leganes, Eyjaria and more. As such i do not think it is a stretched for us to seek membership.

Despite tyranical regime of Tiervan having yet to recognise our independence, i want to make it clear to the IF that Dvergerland by all measures are seperate from Tiervan in military, economic and political forces. As such they have no authority of our nation.

For the sake of national self determination, let our nation be allowed into the international community as we can seek further international cooperation.

Thank you, for your time.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210329/e7623a5d271003eb0091125abf65247f.jpg

TO: Sultanate of Packilvania
Dated: 11 May 2021

The International Forum is in receipt of your application. Unfortunately, the Security Council has voted to reject the application for membership status at this time, by a vote of 4 in favor to 6 opposed. In the place of membership status, the Security Council has voted (7-2) to offer the Sultanate of Packilvania observer status, which pending your acceptance will be effective immediately. Should you choose to accept, you may begin participating in deliberations as soon as you like.

Please note that acceptance of observer status in no way affects the Sultanate’s ability to apply for membership status in the future.

Please reach out to my office if you have any questions or would like to discuss the matter further. Another available point of contact is Klara Sarinov, the Chair of the Global Crisis Council and the Presiding Officer of the Security Council.

Sincerely,
Šano Šonai Tuvria

The Elven Khanate of Suvania formally requests the termination of its observership from the Forum. It is frankly untenable to remain within such an organization that allow its members to shout over and stomp on ideologies that do not comply with their own. Should to Forum return to being a body that aims to represent all legirimate states on Urth regardless of whether their ideology coincides with that of the oppressive majority, we shall be happy to reconsider such.
