Forum Inter Gentes

Permission to edit this article is given to any author of an FIG member state. The Forum Inter Gentes (abbreviated FIG, English: Forum Among Nations) is the primary intergovernmental organization of the world and is responsible for maintaining an ensured state of peace, prosperity, and cooperation. It meets regularly within a dedicated assembly building on international territory in the Ragnorian city of Bæron. It’s divided into multiple organs, the General Assembly, the Inner Council, the Outer Council, and the Security Council.

General Assembly
The General Assembly consists of all FIG recognized member states, with no singular body controlling any less power than the others unless by choice. All members of the General Assembly can vote on any issues put forth into the Assembly for discussion, with some discussions resulting in the addition, removal, or modification of international law. Additionally, by choice a nation may opt into voting for the General Assembly Delegate position in the Inner Council, who must also be opted into the vote to be elected.

Inner Council
The Inner Council consists of individual seats that may or may not switch hands between nations. The Inner Council is often filled with prominent superpowers of the world. For example, the founder position is a permanent seat held by the FIG founder and thus never changes nations. Other seats include the Vice-Founder, a nation gifted the seat solely by the Founder and can be replaced every Delegation cycle, the GA Delegate, a nation voted into the council by the GA, the Vice-Delegate, a nation gifted the seat by the current Delegate, and other more minor seats who’s controllers are voted in by the Founder, Delegate, Vice-Founder, and Vice-Delegate positions. All seats have one vote each during discussion matters only pertaining to the Inner Council.

Inner Council Member States

 * Founder - Litcht: The Founder position is a permanent seat on the inner council, held by the founding nation of the FIG.
 * Vice-Founder - Therovralia: Vice-Founder is a position granted by the Founder to a nation perceived as the Founder's second-in-command.
 * GA Delegate - UNFILLED: The General Assembly Delegate is a position filled by a democratically elected member of the General Assembly, via endorsements from other General Assembly members.
 * Vice-Delegate - UNFILLED: Vice-Delegate is a position granted by the Delegate to a nation perceived as the Delegate's running-mate.
 * Defense Representative - Anglo-Russo Federation: Defense Representative is a position granted by Inner Council vote to a nation. The position comes with the responsibility of ensuring worldwide stability, and thus the nation holding the position is forced into any international wars by the FIG, usually on the side of the defenders.

Outer Council
The Outer Council are additional seats that are either given to controlling nations by vote of the Inner Council or filled by various non-nation agencies upon the agency’s creation.

Outer Council Member States

 * Forum Inter Gentes Host - Ragnoro: The FIG Host is a seat gifted to the nation who hosts the FIG within their borders.
 * Head of World-Wide Emergency Response Operations - Pir Nicea: Code-named "Martyr One," this position is held by the commander in charge of the World-Wide Emergency Response Operations (WWERO) unit known as Martyr. The unit is a multi-role military and scientific research division tasked with handling international threats without the restrictions of national borders. Martyr deals with problems such as, but not limited to: terrorism, flash-floods, and wildfires.

Security Council
The Security Council consists of the General Assembly, each given one vote, the Outer Council, each given an additional vote, and the Inner Council, each given two additional votes (unless the controlling nation also controls an Outer Council seat, in which case they only receive one additional vote). The Security Council generally only meets for discussion during times of crisis.

Votes from the Inner Council do not stack in the event one nation controls multiple seats. In other words, a nation can only receive the vote benefit from the Inner Council once. All other votes stack, including multiple seats in the Outer Council.
