Diplomat: Rob Smith (wiki: UCS123)

Nation: United City States: Earth (UCS)

Reasons to Join UFL: The UCS would wish to gain awareness and become more deeply involved in the micronational community. In the past, I had vehemently claimed that the UCS would only join any sort of union and/or league if it was exclusive for Resource Based Economies only. Naturally though, my micronation is the only one, to my knowledge, that uses a Resource Based Economy in place of a Monetary Based Economy. So i have been forced to evolve from that dreamed union of RBEs. What attracted me to the UNL, was where on your page it states: ''"The UNL seeks to defend all nations regardless of political ideology and economical status." ''If this is the case, I would gladly wish to join the UNL, especially if serious discussions regarding economics and other issues can be disscused among members.

I'm an active Micronation that is extremely serious and is soon going to have its constituion completed. Being that my nation is very anti-war and pro-humanist, you should not have to worry about my nation commiting any international crimes. In fact, my nation boasts the fact that from a humanitartian point of view, we go beyond what was laid out in the Geneva Convention.

My nation will be a valued member in the UNL because the UCS has addressed with and dealt with issues such as nuclear weapons. But we take it a step further than most nations and not only forbid nuclear, chemical, biological, and radiological weapons- we also forbid psychotronic weaponry (usually regarding mind control). So if given the chance to join the UNL, the UCS is thoroughly interested in joining the vacant positions of the Secuirity Council and/or the Human Rights Council. However, any position that we are assigned/allowed to join will be given full effort.

Background of the United City States: The UCS was officially founed on Febuary 15, 2014. Our government is a Confederal Union, City State Direct Democracy with an Ambassadorial Assembly and a Resource Based economy. Essentially, we are a confederacy of pure democratic city states. Each city state elects a Facilitator who is elected every 2 years (may only hold 1 term) and is responsible for the census registry, city upgrades, and militia organization. The facilitator is also the absolute judiciary of the city state- it's not as bad as you would think because we focus on rehabilitation and don't inprison people. In addition to electing a facilitator, every city state elects an Ambassador every 3 years (may only hold 1 term) to represent their city state in the Ambassadorial Assembly. I won't go into too much detail, but essentially the Assembly makes sure that relations among the city states are positive. They also establish a defense system, and they make sure the economy is not in risk of collapse (if the whole world was a fully automated resource based economy this would likely not even be an issue). The person who runs the Assembly is the Chief Domestic Ambassador who is elected by all of the elidgable citizens in the UCS through a popular vote every 5 years (may only have 1 term). The Chief Domestic Ambassador essentially oversees each meeting of the Ambassadors and has the right to call all ambassadors to the assembly and also has the power to vote in a decision where there is a tie. The Person who represents the UCS as a whole and would likely be the official diplomat to do the duties required of the UCS in the UNL is the Chief Foreign Ambassador who is elected every 6 years (may only have 1 term) the same way that the Chief Domestic Ambassador is elected.

There is much more to now about my nation. If you have any questions be sure to contact me and check out my nation's page. BTW the image posted describes our nation's resorce based economy.

Questions: Is there a process for nations to leave the UNL if they so wish to? Also my nation is against following oaths, alledgiances, or any type of formal actions that may ingnite foolish and dangerous nationalistic, imperialistic, and/or patriotic mentalities that may create some form of blind loyalism. This is something that is extremely concerning of my nation. Would we be able to work out some form of negotiation as long as we follow every rule and ruling of the UNL? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
