The Sarcasm King of Segentova | Merhaba (hope that's right) Map Rules The map is key to developing relationships between our nations and engaging in role-play. As it has limited space, it is therefore reserved for nations who actively engage in RP and new nations (who have a fair probability of engaging in RP in the future). Please do not request a map spot unless you plan on being active for a long time. For new nations in the region, you must do ALL of the following to receive a map spot: 1. Have a realistic nation name and use that name to role-play with. Do not use the name of a real-life country or something extremely similar to it. Standard Application for Map Spot
In order to stay on the map, you must post on any regional in-character role-play thread at least once a month AND you must also do at least one of the following every ten days or less: 1. Publish or significantly and clearly add to a factbook or dispatch about your nation. If you're going to be on an extended vacation or unavoidable absence, telegram the current Secretary of Role-Play (Roendavar), Aizcona and Ainslie and they will likely hold your spot for you if you have shown in the past to be an active member. No puppets. No nation on the map may serve in any capacity in any foreign region's government. All players must use a single nation name for all of the region's affairs. Creating and using a new nation to RP as a territory or province is heavily discouraged. See also additional rules for specific instances: page=dispatch/id=426501 In General 1. Treat others how you want to be treated. RMB Rules The RMB is used for: 1. Communicating with the region as a whole, for announcements either on personal matters or about your nation. The RMB is NOT used for: 1. One-on-one conversations. These should occur through telegram. Telegram Rules 1. No regional telegrams can be sent out by non-officers, for any reason, including to campaign Breaking the Rules Upon violating the rules, the following events are likely to happen: 1. Suppression of RMB posts These events may occur in a different order depending on the severity of the offense(s). The telegram/post may come from any nation; if someone warns you that you are breaking the rules, that counts as a warning.

The United Republics of Dormill and Stiura | Gonna bet something like Doraltic Federalism counts, then? Federalism in the United Republics The History of the formation of Doraltic Federalism Doraltic Federalism, typically referred to by the various thinkers behind the idea (most prominent among them are Moser, Merle, and Van Willigen) or just as Federalism, encompasses the various ideas and concepts at the basis of the governing system of the United Republics of Dormill and Stiura. Doraltic Federalism focuses on the idea that the basis for representation in the central government is in the federal subject states, as opposed to the common citizen as seen in other democratic systems. Furthermore, Doraltic Federalism in its original form, as written by Alexis Moser, prioritizes a consensus-based form of government, where the Republics agree between themselves their course of action independent of their actions within Congress. Doraltic Federalism at its core does not prescribe any particular economic or social policy, rather it almost exclusively focuses on the formation and function of the central government and its relationship with the various federal subjects; this trait has allowed Doraltic Federalism to be applied across a wide range of socio-economic systems, but it functions optimally in a socially and economically liberal society. Core Themes “The Many-Headed Beast” “Within the United Republics, there are 13 fully fledged and sovereign Republics on top of several expanding territories and endless amounts of governance lower in the grand scheme of our nation. If it wasn’t for our unique and inspired system of governance, I fear that our way of life would have collapsed into chaos no sooner than when de Launey won the revolution ... [e]very person must at the very least agree that something must be done, the details can be debated until the end of time …” - Alexis Moser, Het Eerste Opstel over Federalisme (lit. The First Essay on Federalism/English Title: Federalism No. 1, 1828) Though less emphasized in modern interpretations of Federalism, the idea of Consensus Democracy is a unique marker of the concept. In its most basic and most used form, Consensus-based politics demands that before any specific decision is made, or a specific policy is acted on, an agreement between the people involved in such a decision must agree on some aspects of the overall plan. The concept has evolved since Moser to be seen as modern “Plans to Congress”, papers delivered to Congress periodically (typically when a new government is formed) by the Ministries, the Republics, private individuals, industry leaders, and other subject matter experts that outline possible consensus-level decisions Congress should strive to do within the timeframe of five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years. For example, when Forwards gained the majority in the Forum in 2013, the Ministry of the Treasury delivered the “Plan to the Congress Dormill and Stiura in the Southern Sea 2030” which details three possible paths Congress could take to expand the economy of the United Republics by taking advantage of the vast amounts of possible trade wealth in the Southern Sea. This concept of long-term plans and consensus-based politics is seen all throughout the United Republics and is common in governments that have adopted or were built from Federalism. In some cases, these plans have been compared to long term economic plans prominent in socialist and communist states, but proponents of Doraltic Federalism distinguish the system by noting that no plan is monolithic and no government has ever solely acted via said plans. “Devolution before Evolution” “When you read the Constitution, it’s quite explicit (especially throughout Title VII) that the Republics are the source of power in the United Republics, or at the very least the Republics are granted plenty of unique freedoms. In observing other nations in the Isles, few if any have adopted a similar form of governance. If it weren’t for the Division, Federalism would be the longest lasting form of governance in any single state; but even in spite of that, the Republican Union, the City of Kapolder, the Second Stiuraian Republic (which its predecessor should be honestly considered the progenitor of Federalism), and the Republic of Ardeda had maintained fragments of Moser’s or Merle’s ideas with them, that should be the greatest marker of the success of Federalism, it was so well designed that it could work even constrained by socialism, or fractured by war.” (Logan Van Willigen, Nieuw Federalisme (lit. New Federalism/English Title: Federalism in the Modern Age, 1983) If it were not for the ever constant presence and importance of Congress, the United Republics could be easily confused for a confederacy or a political-economic union such as the Cooperative Union. This was an intentional design to keep in line with Consensus-based democracy, that the Republics themselves were the source of political power in the nation. The Republics are afforded many rights as a result of the Constitution, and equally as many responsibilities to each other and the nation as a whole. At its core, however, and in conjunction with other certain allowances such as interstate compacts (imported from the United States), the Republics can function almost as fully sovereign nations. In the modern day, after decades of the Liberal Party’s expansion of Federal power, the importance of these rights have been diminished but still important in how some Republics operate between each other. Commonly, the French Republics (consisting of Lieruneux, Avillon, and Dormill) and the Dutch Republics (Stiura, New Friesland, and Zwolle) maintain close ties between each other and work closely together while Kapolder serves as the bridge between them. Ironically, the modern relationship between the Republics has been the standard state of affairs between French Gael and Dutch East Gael ever since the colonial era. This relic of the very unique relationship served as the inspiration behind the federal model of the United Republics, and was likely a major influence in future federal governments, but the lack of any concrete connections makes the likelihood of Federalism being the inspiration of federal systems of governance in the Isles low. “The Republics Defend themselves; Cour Rouge Defends the Union” ”The Militia System, or as it is about to be called ‘The Citizen’s Guard’, is the natural evolution of the concept that militias, under the service of their respective Republic, are the first and last line of defense for their Republic. They should not be expected to defend any other Republic but their own, that’s the job of the Army. The Army, and the Navy, are to defend the United Republics as a whole, they are responsible for propagating Federalism. Eventually, when we have secured the eternal peace and the perpetual union, the function of these shall be fulfilled and they shall be disbanded, leaving the duty of keeping the peace to this ‘Citizen’s Guard’.” Romain Merle, Het Vijftiende Opstel over Federalisme (lit. The Fifteenth Essay on Federalism/English Title: Federalism No. 15, 1906) Of the many things Federalism addresses, the most unique thing of notice was the heavy emphasis put on the status of the armed forces of the United Republics. It was believed that a Federal Army would become counterproductive to the defense of the nation once a long-term peace had been secured for the nation, and in several instances (most notably from 1798-1805) has been outright disbanded by the National Congress, leaving the Citizen’s Guard as the highest point of the militaries. As time passed, however, the importance of defending the United Republics had grown to outcompete the desire to keep the Army away, and so, the importance of this core theme is almost entirely irrelevant in a modern context. In fact, the only real importance the Citizen’s Guard serves is to serve as gendarmerie for the Republics, and as the first set of reservists for the Army, if they are ever needed.

The Sarcasm King of Segentova | And individual philosophers? I mean... I kinda set myself up with Professor Darcy Paquet and Jean Jankowski. Could probably get in a few more of different eras, and elaborate on them. | |
Doravo | I got a few historical ones listed in my wiki. Nothing too major just a few random names listed tbh. | |
New jacobland | That's how I remember it. | |
Insulalia | That'd be so cool... I have my own philosophy which was crafted by the first President of my nation. I dont have a name for it yet but the book is; The Doctrine of a Freer People I might develop it further and place it in the Folklore thread |
