Oceanic League

The Oceanic League
The Oceanic league is an Alliance Network made to be a defensive pact. Where ocean based nations in Eldham like islands as well as coastal nations could come together and work for the better of all of the nations in the league. In matters such as economic and defensive purposes.

Founding of the League
The league was first proposed by Governor GhostlyMender of the Commonwealth of Falholt. who used his idea of an island alliance as a part of his campaign strategy to win the Governor election in Falholt.

When his promise worked to convince the citizens of Falholt to vote for him he became the second Governor of Falholt. And there after getting elected he began working on fulfilling his campaign promise, and on  2nd of november 2022 got together the leaders of Costa Stellare, The Nuvenos union, Din Tei, Aelamere, Dulfika, Aquaris-Azad and Fishlantis to from what would eventually become the Oceanic League.

Growth of the Oceanic league
Later on the league would almost double in size when not long after each other the nations of Serene Yoaken Commune, The Confederation of Kantara, Exousia and Glanra would join the league. This would be the first time nations not inside or close to the region of Aistios would join the League.

Structure of the Oceanic League
The Oceanic League is made up of four leagues/memberships that make up the basic structure of the League, The First League, The First League Affiliates, The Second League and the Third League.

Leagues within the League.
The First league Nations

The First League consists of core OL members. Nations of the First League may receive vote(s), are invited to OL meetings, and are bound by Article 3, title 1. The First League consists of nations which will engage in Military activities / obligations.

The Second league
The Second League consists of external OL members. Nations of the Second League are not given vote(s), are invited to OL meetings, however are not bound by Article 3, title 1. The Second League consists of nations which do not wish to engage in Military activities / obligations. In short the Second Leauge consists of nations that want to participate in the economic and friendship benefits of being a member of the Oceanic League, but do not want to be dragged into any conflicts that might arise being a first league Nation. Second League nations are not obligated to send any form of military aid to League nations. but does also not get the benefits of being defended by the Oceanic league in case of foreign threat.

The Member Leauge

The Member League consists of nations not in the OL. Nations in the Member League are nations in the process of joining the OL, but have not officially been added to the organization. Member League nations receive no obligations nor freedoms in the OL.

The First League Affiliates

Consists  of nations that are affiliated with a first league nation. But is, however, not considered a member of the Oceanic league in any shape or form. And therefore is not obligated to send any form of help to any Oceanic league Member. This consists for example protectores or an overlord of a first league nation.

Article 2
Title 1: Each First League nation receives 3 votes. Each vote must come from a different figure in the nation's government or structure which they allow to vote, such as a civilian government or advisors.

Title 2: Twice every month, a First League nation will be chosen as the location for OL meetings. Meetings should have at-least 1 representative of a nation and be officially logged by the hosting nation.

Title 3: For a nation to join the Oceanic League, despiste which League they choose to apply for, a vote must be held. Each nation currently in the League must provide their vote(s). A nation may join if they receive 80% approval or more. The nation, if accepted, will be placed in the Member League for a period of one week while they are integrated into the OL.

Title 4: A nation may leave the OL whenever they wish. There is no obligation to stay in the League, unless a war is currently ongoing. Once a war is over, the nation which wishes to leave may do so. If a nation wishes to change leagues (i.e, go from Second League to First), then they must redo the process of joining a League.

Title 5: Everyone loves parties! Once every month, between meetings, the nation which is holding the meetings will also hold a party. Parties should be very funny and cool and have LOTTA ALCOHOL!!!!

Title 6: Nations in the First, Second, and Member League of the OL may not join other similar organizations, in order to stop any possible future altercations. A nation may not join the OL if in another organization already, and will be kicked out of the OL if it has joined one already.

Title 8: For a new Title to be added to the Founding Document, the League Official must approve any suggestions from Nation Representatives. The League Official is voted in by nations in the First League. They will run as the League Official until they die (leave SW), retire, or are voted out by the nations with over 50% approval.

Article 3
Title 1: If a nation in the First League is attacked by an external nation, then all other First League nations are obligated to aid the attacked nation in Defense and retaliation. If physical aid cannot be provided, then economic aid is expected in the forms of helping provide armor, potions, war supplies, and other items not listed.

Title 2: All nations in the First League should be able to provide at-least 5 soldiers if Article 3, Title 1 is enacted. While this is not a total requirement, it is expected of nations to be able to field an army or provide for one in the long term.

Title 3: If a nation in the First or Second League falls into a State of Rebellion, then the First League is obligated to aid the government in fighting or providing supplies. The OL may NOT intervene on the Rebelling States side, and may not act independently on the matter.

Title 4: If, somehow, two OL nations end up at war, other OL member nations may NOT interfere with the war. A vote will be held to determine whether the nations engaged in conflict should be removed from the OL or allowed to stay.

Title 5: If it is deemed a nation has brought the OL into a war it cannot possibly win, then a vote between all Leagues must be held to discuss if the OL should enter the war. If decided the war is a “suicide war”, then the OL will not join and allow the nation warred on to defend itself. At-least 75% of nations should agree the war could be labelled as a “suicide war.”

Title 6: If the OL wins a war and the nations included may gain land, then borders should be drawn based on which nation aided most in the war. If there is not enough land to be divided between nations, then the States must decide which nation(s) may get the land.

Title 7: If a nation in any League enters a State of panic, a national coup, or State of dissolving, then the other OL members must send peace-keeping forces into the nation's territory to secure it. A council of First League nations will control the territory until a resolution can be found and the original government may be reinstalled properly.

Title 8: League Vassals / Protectorates are NOT protected under the OL. It is up to the mother nations of the Vassal / Protectorate to defend their territory.
