History
Although the idea to form an alliance of Raedlon nations was suggested in previous years, it was in early 2020 that the first steps were set to elaborate it, with The Dominion of Nhoor and The Winter Empire of Solaryia taking the initiative to found the organisation. The founding treaty, the Treaty of Sārruc, was signed on 31 July 2020. Since then, talks initiated with The United Queendoms of Belantica, which joined ROS as a candidate member in October 2022 and became a full member in April 2023. By December 2023, The United Peoples of Skilles and The Kingdom of Takiv had initiated internal procedures to prepare for a formal membership request; Takiv issued a formal membership request on 27 December 2023. The government of The People's Republic of Costavozka, a nation not located on Raedlon but in northern Argus, announced in October 2023 that it would seek membership of ROS. Takiv and Costavozka were formally admitted as candidate members on 19 January 2024; on the same day, the Treaty of Sārruc was amended to expand the geographical definition of nations who can apply as full members.
Membership
ROS membership exists in three forms:
Full membership: independent nations located on the subcontinent known as Raedlon or facing Raedlon from across the Karnali Sea and the Mesder and North Mesder Seas in the region of The Western Isles, as per Article 4 of the Treaty of Sārruc. Under certain conditions, nations located in other parts of The Western Isles can be admitted as full members of ROS as well.
Associate membership: any territory on Raedlon that constitutes an autonomous dependency of a nation located in other parts of The Western Isles, as per Article 16 of the Treaty of Sārruc.
Observer status: any nation or territory that isn't eligible for membership or associate membership as stipulated in the Articles 4 and 16 of the Treaty of Sārruc, and any nation or territory that doesn't seek to acquire membership or associated membership by its own volition, as per Article 27 of the Treaty of Sārruc.
Any request to become a Member or Associate Member of ROS should so be addressed to the Secretary General by means of a note, in which the applicant nation or territory declares that it is willing to sign the Treaty and to accept all the obligations inherent in Membership or Associate Membership as per Articles 6 resp. 18. Any request to become an Observer of ROS should be addressed to the Secretary General by means of a note, in which the applicant nation or territory declares that it is willing to accept all the obligations inherent in the Observer Status, as per Article 28. The Secretary General informs the Council of Representatives (see below), which will decide on the matter at its earliest convenience.

Also, Nhoor is a people indigenous to Raedlon; they were living in all of Raedlon until approximately 900-1200 CE. They had no political power and were mostly poor agrarians, cattle thieves, (lower) servants, and other things that served as reasons to discriminate against them. In the aforementioned period, they all moved to the west of Raedlon, where they are still living.
Oof sorry, i probably should have asked before coming up with something like that. That's bad RP on my part lol. Its still WIP if you want any changes :)
Will do :)
I literally came with all this last night so don't worry about that (also nations come and go all the time so being late to anything is rarely an issue in TWI) - you can have an HQ if you want. Right now all I need is the name of foreign minister, five or less members of your legislature(s) to be parliamentary representatives and the name of one permanent representative :)
Yep.
How long did that take you to come up with, lol?
It’s free real estate.
No no its all good man, I'm down for it
The Tsunterlands btw I am interested as well in joining ORCA.
Asaurcmi and The Tsunterlands
Ill get you names and titles tonight
Segentova, Asaurcmi, and The Tsunterlands
But you're still down to hosting for AGROIMF?
Oh yeah, I gotta work on that haha
Take your time! There are plenty of more important irl things
This question might come out of nowhere, but has anyone tried creating a climate map of the Western Isles?
Hello, I'm new to this region.
Laeden, Nhoor, Aizcona, Doravo, and 2 othersAsaurcmi, and The United Partitions
I congratulate you on your initiative, The Tsunterlands! That is very nice and we are quite interested in joining it as well. I would also like to offer myself as a host for the HQ in South Argus. I will send you all the necessary information regarding the names of the representatives later. Besides, I'm not sure if you are aware, but there is a slight problem going on right now in South Mesder regarding piracy acts. Perhaps this could be addressed by the ONTNC?
nah, not really - it has the effect of potentially pressuring people into not having the liberty to decide their own internal geography. Plus, it'd be a pain to update given how often people come on and off the map.
Gday and welcome to TWI!
If you haven't done so, this is a great dispatch to flick through and do some light reading to get yourself well acquainted with the region: page=dispatch/id=520612
Any questions or concerns feel free to ask.
I don’t think so, but it’s the kind of pipe dream I’ve thought of creating for my nation…some day
Laeden and Asaurcmi
So Segentova is pretty much going to be forced to join the Orca, isn't it?
It is a sunny autumn day here in Luxembourg, but there is also a weekly report:

The Dispatch of the Month is a program launched and run by the Office of Information. As stated before, the program involves the office featuring a dispatch it likes and feels the need to commend. The program was done in order to stimulate regional activity, encourage creativity, improve writing skills, and boost the overall nationbuilding quality.
The following requirements need to be met in order for a dispatch to be eligible for nomination:
Author must be in the region and regional map
Dispatch will have to be posted within the month
We determine the Dispatch of the Month results through a number of criteria. Each are worth 10 points, and the highest total score you can achieve is 40. The criteria are:
Uniqueness: What makes it different from other dispatches and nominees.
Creativity: How original and creative the dispatch itself is.
Visual Appealingness: How appealing the dispatch is.
Information: How informative the dispatch is.
You can also nominate any dispatch (yes, even yours) so long that it meets our guidelines. This greatly helps us reach a larger number of dispatches and possible nominees. However, only the dispatch with the highest total points based off our criteria will claim the title of Dispatch of the Month.

I give up and will just have to live with this nonsense.
Nhoor and Ephialtys
Hey, I'm here to apologize that I haven't been really active. Work will do that to ya, 5 straight 12-14 hour days really kill the factbook making mood.
All good brotha, real life always comes first
Best weekly report in a while :)

~~~~`~~~~`~~~~`~~~~`~~~~` "Cast into the sea, Pearl from the Heavens; divine paradise, from the hand of God." - The Captain, O Cânone > The Isle of Perceu Pearl from the Heavens by Zé Sombrinha There is an art to living on The Isle of Perceu /peʁ.'sɛw/. Our little haven has always set itself apart from its neighbours across The Western Isles, beyond sheer differences in distance and size. Ask any local what makes Perceu stand out, and you won't get the same answer twice. We all grow up seeing the island through our own lens, privy to its beauty in ways that other Percenese will never know in their lifetime. But we can all agree on this: everyone in Perceu sees beauty in Perceu. And such is the art to living on the Isle: to treat Perceu as a work of art. [NB: More content to be added in a future update.]
