The Confederacy and the World Assembly

As shown in the above spoiler, the Confederacy as a whole is not a member of the WA, but Ida is a member of both. This is why I refer to my IC character in the GA as the Confederate representative, instead of the ambassador. Strictly speaking, he's the ambassador for Ida, although he also speaks on behalf of the Confederacy Ida is a member of. So he's representing that Confederacy as an ambassador of Ida. The reason for this is that the Confederacy is closer to being a UN than a single country, so it wouldn't join the WA for that reason. It also doesn't want multiple members independently joining the WA because that could lead to some...disputes...so it compromised by allowing only one member to join, being Ida.

OOC: I know that 'Stellar Colonies' is in the WA instead of a puppet called 'Ida', but...well...it would require a great deal of time for me to make the puppet, withdraw SC from the WA and add that to the WA, and rebuild the influence and endorsements which would be instantly erased from this account onto that one. Much simpler for me to add a quick summary of this to SC's forum sig and leave it at that. If I knew I would be going with this, I would've done that instead of making SC my WA account, but I didn't, so...yeah.
