ENG: Germanic Union of Esamir
GER: Der Germanische Vereinigung von Esamir
SWE: Esamirs Germanska Union
The Purpose
First off, the purpose of the union is for the member states to embrace their Germanic heritage and be able to manifest it through cooperation in the fields of military, science, agriculture, trade, education and any other thinkable field that the member states would be interested in cooperating in. The Germanic nations shall be able thrive and develop in peace within the union without being threatened by foreign nations and influences. The Germanic culture of each nation is to be preserved and cultivated by each member state.
The Germanic Union shall be able to defend itself both diplomatically and militarily if threatened or attacked, the main purpose of military cooperation within the union is to defend smaller nations in the union that might not be able to defend themselves by their own against larger nations.
The Germanic Union of Esamir doesn’t favor any government type and nations being kingdoms, duchies, republics, theocracies etc. are all welcome to join as long as they meet the requirements.
Membership
Membership in the union is voluntary and so is leaving the union though leaving the union must approved the president of the union and a reason for leaving the union must be stated to the president.
There are three kinds of membership in the union:
• Class 1 Membership
• Class 2 Membership
• Observer
When a nation is applying for the union it has to state what kind of membership it is pursuing and also name the requirements that they match for that membership, mind that if asked for proof of matching the requirements the applicant has to do so as quickly as possible or he/she can be denied access, any nation can reapply for the union every IRL Monday.
Class 1 membership
Members with class 1 membership are fully bodied members of the Germanic Union and therefore have full voting rights and freedom to work with other nations within the union as they feel like.
Requirements of class 1 membership:
• Official language is Germanic
• Culture and traditions in nation are Germanic
• Nation is found by Germanic peoples
• Country is a post-colonial nation found by a Germanic nation
• Nation is inspired by Germanic culture and traditions
Explaining the requirements more closely the language requirement is a must for class 1 membership while the other are voluntary, a nation has to match at least 2 (preferably 3) of the requirements listed.
Class 2 membership
Members with class 2 membership are not fully bodied members of the Germanic Union, while they have some voting rights they are not allowed to vote in all referendums and what referendums they are allowed to vote in is decided by the president of the union himself. Also the nation can’t always choose freely what kind of cooperation they will have with other nations within the union, naturally if a nation is dissatisfied it can upgrade itself to membership class 1 by Germanisation or by a special treaty between the president and the member. Upgrading through Germanisation or by special treaty will be described below.
Requirements for class 2 membership:
• Minority language in the nation is a Germanic one
• Recognized Germanic ethnic or linguistic minority within the nation
• Nation is inspired by Germanic culture or traditions
• Nation is found by Germanic tribes
• Nation has a Germanic royal family
• Nation is ethnically Germanic but linguistically not
• Nation is linguistically Germanic but ethnically not
To gain the class 2 membership a nation has to fulfill at least 3 of the requirements.
Observer
An observer nation is as named, only an observer and has no special rights in the union, it can attend meetings and it can sympathy vote(always in orange!) in any elections though it’s vote will not be counted in the final counting, the sympathy vote is just a way for the union to know if their choices are approved by the international community or not. An observer is not allowed to speak in any meeting unless asked to by the president.
Requirements: The nation is not a rogue nation.
