[size=100]The Special Protocol for Economic Alliance Ratification is a Gondwana-based economic bloc that is primarily concerned with the development of individualism and financial independence among its members. Nations that sign the charter are allowed open border access to other countries in SPEAR, as well as a removal of tariffs and taxes on goods imported from or exported to fellow SPEAR members. While SPEAR is vocal in its refusal to include military sections to its charter, members are not forbidden from forming defensive pacts or other agreements on their own.
The social and political center of SPEAR is the Central Protocol Offices located in the Sun District of Syllvan Center, the capitol of Free Syllvin. Reserved exclusively for SPEAR personnel and diplomats, the Office Its spacious facilities host embassy offices for each SPEAR country, conference centers and auditoriums for workshops and presentations, and a central atrium with information kiosks and digital screen displays that advertise products and services from listed member states.
It is in this atrium that you find yourself in today. Will you call for a meeting? Offer your nations skills or resources in service of others? Post a request for advisement on an aspect of your economy? Or perhaps you want to contact a diplomat from another nation directly?
