Silver Coalition

The Silver Coalition was formed on the 26th of October at Sovdal in order to provide the northern states with enough recognition to operate on the world stage, develop their collective regions, and to defend each other officially should war be declared against any member-nation.

The origin of the name comes from the cultural heritage of Sovdal, which holds the moon and its silvery tint in high regard, and from a period of werewolf attacks in Helmia. So, silver being the bane of werewolves symbolically became the bane of the coalition's enemies. By extension, it came to mean the coalition's strength, and ability to hold back their enemies from controlling the north.

Government
The Coalition is governed by a semi-regular council comprised of representatives of each member-nation. Chief representatives for Foreign Affairs, Sterling, The Census, Military, and Infrastructure are also elected on a semi-regular basis. Currently, the member nations are:

''' Noxnorr                                Najera’Jad

Boaravia                            Icarus

Lemebah                           The Sand Republic

Paludis                              Braddanoch

Since the council’s jurisdiction is on more national matters, the member-states enjoy a type of federalism, wherein they each retain full autonomy within their own core regions.

New Settlement Policy
While the Silver Coalition is vast, it is sparsely populated. As such, new settlements are welcomed openly, with the question of sovereignty being left untouched until that settlement is ready for the international stage. At their discretion, these new settlements may join the Silver Coalition whenever they decide to, if they choose so.
