Auroran Continental Assembly OOC

What role should the Auroran Continental Assembly play? Should it be like NAFTA, the E.U., NATO, a mix, or something else?

I think a group that has every right to defend members, and will do so without hesitation, but not an aggressive “foreign policy” organisation group (an example would be the USA). So similar the the EU?

I’m thinking more on the line of the European Union. Looking and reading a bit on the NAFTA and NATO, I prefer the E.U. with maybe a smidgen of NATO thrown in.

It could be a mix of Military, Social, and Economic cooperation.

We could have few or no import taxes between us.
We could have open borders and, marriage recognition, and looser immigration legislation.
We could certainly have strict assistance guidelines for if anyone on the continent is attacked.

Additionally, the Atlanteans are making a council as well…

I would prefer more Economic and Social with the only Military involvement would be a mutual defense agreements against ‘outside Auroran’ influence?

Low Import Taxes from within Aurora while outside Aurora normal Import Taxes with the proviso of an Auroran nation having an agreement with a non-Auroran nation is up to said nations to decide? (don’t know if this is self-explanatory or not?)

Open Borders with valid ID/Passport checks (don’t want any wanted criminals to openly cross boarders do we?)

Marriage Recognition; I have no problem with that one, proviso that when they do get married the couple gets dual-citizenship, and any offspring receive the same?

Immigration - that should be up to each individual nation to decide?

Oceansend has finite land/living space. Unless you have a valid job that Oceansend needs or you get married to an Oceansendan and move to the nation. Otherwise their boarders are closed to immigration. Tourists are very welcome to come and enjoy their casinos and beaches for vacations and such however. https://groups.tapatalk-cdn.com/smilies/52127/1536592191.9301-smiley.gif?ttinline=true
Dragonia on the other hand, even though the nation does have land, the vast majority of it is environmentally protected. Dragonians as a whole practice a strict population control. The population has a very slow rise. The death rate and birth rate are somewhat even, and has been going on like this for a couple of centuries, so it is very ingrained into their psyche to have anywhere from one or two at the most children, on rare occasions a third child.

I made a potential passport if we decide to open borders throughout Aurora:

^^Nice work Tuval, definitely like the look of those

Also what is the ACA’s stance on the Pax? If it doesn’t have an official statement what would the general consensus be?

That is a very good question. I think we should take a stance similar to the U.S. with China, in the sense that we don’t necessarily like the Pax, but we claim to be neutral towards them. Thoughts?

I agree, it would only cause further tension and negativity to officially denounce Packilvania, and considering that its threat to the autonomy of the continent during the Auroran Imperial War was the primary cause of the formation of the ACA, it would only make sense that there is at least some unspoken negativity.

Neutrality with Pax-Draconica should be our ‘Official’ stance.

Bump-a-dee-bump

lol I forgot this was set up

(OOC: I don’t think recognising all marriages is a matter of morality, it is a matter of diplomacy. If Kostuvastan refuses to recognise same sex or other sex marriages then what stops Emberwood Coast from categorising all Kostrom, Tuv, Baykalian and other ethnic groups from Kostuvastan as Quasimodos or something or not recognise your religious practices and subsequently disqualify your marriages as you do theirs? And if Emberwood Coast doesn’t get what they want, they might be more reluctant in future to support Kostuvastan in any of its aims. Although… it might be intetesting to see the qualms of ACA diplomats in the quiet corners of the Headquarters. Just a thought.

If I was Emberwood Coast, the Kostuv view would be matter disrespect. If you attack same sex marriages in the very undiplomatic way you did then you say something about your opinion of The LGBTQI community and subsequently your opinion of Chance Syng personally. I wouldn’t be seeing gala dinners between y’all anytime soon.

But Chance Syng is also wrong for assuming the belligerent tone they did. I would have interpreted your statement you made it some where here, that not only do you dislike Kostuvastan, but you are willing to take action to denegrade it and even further support regime change.
It’s really a mutual affair. It’s a bit on the extreme end, but politicians right? What you gonna do?.)

(OOC: Kostuvastan IC won’t exist in ten years, so by then there would be possibilities to broadly recognize marriage equality. I decided to make Victor a sexist due to the fact that this RP takes place in the 70’s, and doesn’t reflect my opinions on same sex marriages; just wanted to add some spice to this RP, since it’s relatively dull.)

This is definitely something we should work on. I’ll set up a Google Docs tomorrow and post it here so we can come up with it. (I’m real tired, which is why I’m not doing it rn)

As for the ranking things, I can probably make a table on the ACA NSWiki about all that stuff.

That’s great, and it’s no problem.

Um, I dont know how to calculate my area btw, which might mean I have to change population (but that’s unlikely). So may I please get help with that.

Here’s the Google Doc also: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rJiAuxFBAuMru1AVPPjw9lBpwsb_DEJ8jh53RqdS1r0/edit?usp=sharing

I’m very out of the loop in this topic, can anyone update me what’s happening?

Thank you!
