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.

The First league Nations
The First league nation is the status given to a nation that's a full Oceanic member, and therefore has the right to be defended by all other League nations as well as is obligated to protect a First league nation against any hostile nation trying to attack them.

The Second league
Consists of members who are currently applying to become members of the first league, but that haven’t been accepted by the majority of the first leagues council yet.

The Third League nations
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. Third 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 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.

General Defensive Terms:
In the event of a Member Nation being attacked by an external force that has a NAP/MDP with another Member Nation then it is the obligation of that Member Nation to attempt and prevent the war to the best of its ability. In the event of an Offensive war each First League nation can vote whether or not to join the war; in the event of an interpact war, if all diplomacy has failed, a vote between all the other nations not involved in the war will take place on whether one side is right or wrong if every nation agrees one nation is in the wrong they can all fight that one nation. However, if there is disagreement between the nations on who is right or wrong they must all stay neutral and both fighting nations will be excluded from the pact for two weeks.

Military Terms:
Each First League Nation must be able to arm at least five citizens to assist in any fighting. If they are unable to do so they must contribute financially or help with resources to assist the fight. If a nation wishes to become a First League Nation however are unable to provide the five soldier minimum then they must prove that they are trying to recruit people to their nation who would be able to fight for them or prove they would be able to hire mercenaries.

Activity/Cooperation Terms:
Once a month a First League Nation will be chosen to hold a celebration of the pact; any citizen from the First through Third Leagues would be invited to this celebration. The nation hosting the celebration must provide drinks, unless unable to financially. Once every two weeks a First League Nation will be chosen to hold a meeting between all First League Nations and any Second League Nations that wish to listen where we will talk about potential threats to The League and also the state of our Nations.

Vassal Terms:
If a First League Nation has vassalized a separate Nation, that vassalized Nation would become a temporary First League Nation with the same rights and obligations as every other First League Nation. After Vassalization has ended they will have their First League status removed unless they have applied to become a full member of The First League. Also if a Nation is about to be vassalized by a First League Nation they can be given the choice to opt out of becoming a temporary First League Nation.

Rathnir Colony Terms:
If any First League Nation has a Rathnir Colony and that Colony in Rathnir is attacked the League would not be obligated to defend the Colony but if a member chooses to help in the defense of the Colony they can.
