THE CHARTER OF THE ATLANTIC CENTRAL COMMAND
WRITTEN ON MARCH 16, 2003
We the peoples of the Atlantic nations are hereby determined
to
forge an Atlantic alliance to spare future generations
from internal conflict, by hereby announcing our intent to permanently
suspend all politicking within our ranks, and
to unite against the [name deleted] Scourge, pledging
ourselves to the eventual destruction of all [name deleted] regions,
and
to thereby achieve a near-absolute political superiority
in the World by forming an Atlantic bloc to monopolize the UN resolution-writing
and voting process, and so
on this day, we cede our national sovereignties to establish
a unified and democratic Atlantic Central Command.
NOTE:
As of April 26, 2003, a mandatory recruit training program has been
implemented for all future applicants. Given our current state of emergency,
all applicants will also be background checked by the Ministry of Intelligence.
PROCEDURE
To formally become a member nation of Atlantic Central
Command (CentComm), a nation must:
1. Declare Atlantic affiliation.
Add "[Atlantic]" to your national motto. Since
the military campaign may require a constant state of ready mobilization,
this is the only practical way a nation can maintain its Atlantic
status, regardless of actual geographic location.
2. Promptly inform Central Command.
Post a brief statement of your intent to join Atlantic
CentComm in the Application
Processing forum of CommNet. Be sure to include your nation's
name in its entirety, in addition to the region you are presently
located in.
Your nation will be automatically given "Recruit"
status. Promotion to full "Soldier" status is contingent
on the completion of a mandatory recruit training program with Training
Unit 00.
Given the large number of applicants, your nation will
first be put on a wait list. Upon receiving notice of an opening in
Training Unit 00, you have 48 hours to comply or your placement will
be reset to the end of the queue.
3. Join the United Nations, if it fits
your national strategy.
The politico-military conquest strategy of Atlantic
CentComm is primarily based upon seizing the UN delegateship of other
regions that we choose to liberate. While UN membership is thus, greatly
encouraged, it is by no means necessary. Non-UN Atlantic Central Command
nations may also play reconaissance and destabilization roles in pre-targetted
regions.
4. Participate in CommNet.
CommNet, the message
board, is the only forum with which we can effectively democratize
the process of making Atlantic strategy. Free discussion is one of
the principles that should be upheld—by no means should
the direction of Atlantic CentComm strategy be determined by one or
two members.
5. Be prepared for rapid mobilization.
As an active member of Atlantic CentComm, your nation
may be asked to change regions on very short notice, endorsing predesignated
Atlantic nations for delegateship immediately upon arrival. Since
this is the case, it is important that you have some say in where
you are relocated (see #4).
However, once a collective decision has been made
and a "move out" order has been issued to you by Field Cmdr.
Dosopan,
please follow through in a timely manner.
6. Mark liberated regions as Atlantic
territory.
Upon the successful liberation of a pretargetted region,
the designated UN delegate should update the Worldbook Entry of that
region with the following text:
Satellite region of the Atlantic, established on
[date].
Central Command: http://atlanticstates.cjb.net
As the political climate of a liberated region evolves,
it may become a forward base for active Atlantic recruitment and operations.
When this has been determined to be the case, the Worldbook Entry
should change to reflect this:
Forward base of the Atlantic, established on [date].
Central Command: http://atlanticstates.cjb.net
