Collective Security Document
PART I: Assessing the present order of domestic and foreign situations naturalistically.
Section A. Domestic indicators: advantages & challenges.
Inheriting past pursuit of isolationist policies, the focal challenge in international relations during the 21st century, include appropriate domestic policies which address foreign liberalisation. Domestic indicators predetermining available policies comprise capabilities within three dimensions, cultural or diplomatic-political dimension, economic or financial dimension, security dimension. Historically, strategic advantage of Nasphilitae revolved around its’ cultural dimension, serving as the baseline for the economic dimension and subsequently the dimension of security. Stressed are openness in mutual co-operations when faced with global challenges and adoption of structural reforms within customs-trade policies, as methods of deriving means to provide ontological security for its constituent-citizens. Supply of fundamental and intermediary products is brought to attention as an intersection of the economic and security dimensions. Moderate militarisation policies contextualized within increased strategic capabilities of production and design, heightened responsiveness and readiness when engaged with mutual or global threats and natural disasters, and amplified research interconnection with other international state actors.
Section B. Foreign indicators: global changes & challenges.
Global threats of the 21st century include as of now: organised criminal groups, terrorist organisations, internal state political instability, international financial crimes, WMD’s, and environmental catastrophes. Looming non-espoused possible threats regarding poverty, vast populations of critically malnourished people, biological viral or bacterial agents, and other, ought to be regarded as imminently possible as well. Key obstacles in multi-state reactions to global threats, stemming from lack of multilateral institutionalisation of their relations, has been re-framed by recent creation of the World Forum. Issues which arise come from the statutory nature of international law, subjecting its’ codification to non-imperative clauses, with limited means of enforcement. Significant advancement has been made in the global threat of WMD’s, largely attributed to TPNW, alas noting its’ lack of regulation regarding biological and chemical weapons. Inclusion of non-state international actors (regional organisations, trans-national alliances, inter-dependence of private entities, and other) will contribute to future progress in decreasing global threats. Future arrangements with other international state actors ought to be normative methods in achieving prosperity, stability and peace,
Section C. Examination & Comparation of Regional situations.
In spite of historical instability, the Continent of Crabry has progressed significantly in achieving prosperity, stability and peace during first quarter of 21st century. Threat of conflicts between state actors among each other has all but diminished. Internal political instability, providing dissidence and opportunity for expanding influence and pressure, on regional state actors has potential to be a hazardous threat. Further inter-regional integration and harmonization, as well as institutionalisation of influence on countries of Crabry, are stressed methods in pursuit of common interests.
Section D. Examination & Comparation of Regional & Great Powers.
Definitions of Regional, Great and Super Powers:
A Regional Power is hereby defined using the RANASA textbook definition of: “The dominant economic, military and/or cultural power vested by a sovereign state entity in one or more political regions, whose influence does not extend greatly, beyond more than two continents” .
Likewise, a Great Power is defined as: “A dominant economic, military and cultural power vested by a sovereign state entity whose influence extends across the South Pacific, with possible territories on more than one continent”.
There exists a definition for a Superpower, though the only example given is the Austral Empire in mid 16th century (1550s) to the early half of the 19th century (1800-1850s). A Superpower is defined as: “The globally dominant sovereign state entity with territories on all continents, of de facto omnipotent economic, military and cultural power, which it exercises de facto in omnipresence across the South Pacific.”
Eleven countries which classify as a Great Power in 2024. include: U.S.I., Sedunn, Pelinai, The Frost Empire, Gianatla, Ryccia, Huawan, Weisserstein, Besern, The United Kingdoms of Emerald and Denver and Technaget.
By Continent, countries which classify as Regional Powers in 2024. include:
Cordilia: Karnetvor, Valkyria, UPRAN, Ikaranara, Eflad, Holy Free (disputed) .
Bailtem: Dacian Federation, Andrendia, Vrigny (disputed).
Bareland: Ubesii, Fatiniyya (disputed) .
Keyli and Rainbow Islands: Berustrug.
Crabry: Esfalsa, Kliegme.
Controversies surrounding further comparisons:
For a total of 24 countries which classify as either Regional or Great Powers in 2024. Additionally, they may be classified by which of the three (economic, military, cultural) powers the respective country seems to prioritise. An example of this would be the focus of Gianatla on cultural power exercised through the World Forum, international sports participation and the influence it has among Alman speaking countries; Which in aggregate greatly contribute to its’ position as a Great Power.
However, deeper exploration of this classification by focus is subject to controversy among RANASA scholars due to questions which arise of its’ implications. For instance, “Can a country with little to median influence be considered a Regional or Great Power by mere metric of cultural power it projects, with only the aspect of its’ language being widely spoken?” arises in the question of present-day Austra.
Conversely, “Does influence on a language speaking group from a Great Power contribute to countries of the same language group being classified as Regional Powers?” arises most notably in questions related to Arnchow.
Another example would be, “Can a country with high indicators of military or economic power be considered a Regional or Great Power if it lacks any recognition or influence which comes from cultural power projection?” example which is usually given being the NAGB. There is no definitive consensus surrounding these topics.
Section E. Dimensions of Cultural, Economic and Security.
Cultural Dimension Indices of Capabilities in 2024 and Recommendations for the future:
61% of citizens speak two other languages fluently, while 92% of citizens speak at least one other language fluently. These include, from most to least fluently spoken (percentage of citizens):
Alman (21%), Cimbrian (21%), Montacian (17%), Friean (15%), Aegean (14%), Gara (12%), Pelinese Hinomoto (12%), Kotomoto (12%), Karnetvorian (9%), Sedunnic (8%), Esfalsan (2%). There is obviously a cross-over between knowing these languages (Ex: Alman, Cimbrian & Friean are likely fluently known by mostly the same group of citizens). The previous advantage serves to elaborate its naturally preceding advantage, which is human capital, specifically within the diplomatic corpus and in the private entity lucrative transactions. It is recommended that the Royal Academy of Natural and Art Sciences Association (RANASA), which serves as an exclusively Nobility channel for training the diplomatic corpus of Nasphilitae, harmonise its’ program & training with the Universities of Suhavenster, Agorport, and New Sorthane.
It is imperative that a protocol be enacted by which the administrative staff of diplomatic corpus and/or private (economic) entities are provided clear criteria & channels for employment by non-Nobles.
Economic Dimension Indices of Capabilities in 2024 and Recommendations for the future:
Nasphilitae is undergoing a transition from import substitution re-industrialisation to re-liberalisation & restructuring of its’ macroeconomic policy. The largest (by employment and capital) domestic companies specialise in sectors of: Mechanical instrumentation & engineering; Mechanical & Industrial design & research-and-development; Automation research-and-development; Biochemical production of bio-fuel; Biochemical production of food processing & nutritive research; Resource industries in Refinement & Distribution; Construction industries in Housing, Logistics & Infrastructure; Chemical industries in textile chemistry; and Agriculture in production & distribution (limited to Nobility only). These sectors are perfectly in concordance with the discussed desire for restoration of foreign activity by methods discussed regarding the Economic and Security dimensions.
It is recommended that the Mechanical, R&D, Construction (Logistics & Infrastructural), and Instrumentation sectors create and/or incorporate militarisation branches once economic liberalisation is complete. This is possible as the human capital already exists due to the nature of these specialisations. Said militarisation branches are to be mostly export-oriented, as to comply with the discussed Economic Dimension and its’ aid in the pursuit of foreign policy restoration and achievement of goals. It is also recommended that the Financial Services sector, once revitalised, spearhead policies of bilateral co-operation within monetary & currency exchange mechanisms. Although inherited human capital for the Financial Services sector exists, it is also recommended that Nasphilitae actively pursue bilateral arrangements, nature of which is exchange of knowledge & expertise.
Security Dimension Indices of Capabilities in 2024 and Recommendations for the future:
The projected share of annual spending on the Armed Forces is 2.5% of total nominal GDP. It is also financed privately by the Nobility, though this does not fall under National spending. As such, Noble estimates of “high readiness-responsiveness-reaction” and “high professionalisation & specialisation” regarding the Armed Forces hold some merit in spite of restrictions to Active service.
Active service in the Armed Forces, membership which is restricted to the Nobility and nominated gifted non-Nobles (through the Royal Scholarship Program), requires training and education within RANASA. Active soldiers of the Armed Forces are required to train and profess until reaching criteria of a Commanding Officer or a Commanding Lieutenant. The Royal Primogeniture grants the Peerage (without the Earldom) supreme Right of Initiative to declare an Alarming War State of Collective (National) Emergency, a procedure required for Collective Citizen Mobilisation to be called. Collective Citizen Mobilisation is a set of Program Protocols which ensure quick and adequate call to arms, training, and deployment of civilians in the event of an Alarming War State of Collective Emergency. The Officer Corpus of the Armed Forces ensures that, in case of (external or internal-civil) war, Nasphilitae is highly prepared. The aforementioned private financing by the Nobility provides Nasphilitae with advanced equipment, R&D and design of vessels & weapons. However, ownership of weapons by civilians (including non-service Nobles, not including the Police Force) is strongly prohibited. Recommendations for the Armed Forces include two-to-three key concepts. A section for Natural Disasters is to be created, legislated and regulated by separate laws than those concerning the Armed Forces. Another section for Global Threats is to be created, legislated and regulated by separate laws than those concerning the Armed Forces. The purpose of which is combat against global threats, including (but not limited to): organised criminal groups, terrorist organisations, human trafficking rings, international high organised financial crime, and other. Both of these sections are to cooperate with international actors in accordance to international law, multilaterally or bilaterally.
PART II: Defining domestic goals.
Section A. Desired Projection of Domestic Values onto Foreign.
Projection is hereby to be defined as: “Representation of structures containing traits on a different plane of existence, which seeks to reconstruct its direction, by attribution of such traits on it viainjection.” Insofar, “traits” may be termed “domestic values”. Desired projection of these traits onto the “plane” of “foreign existence” is justified in its limited scope as a “Method of mechanisms which are utilised for ontological security including ones own existence which is co-dependent on the existence and attributes of others.” These desires are prosthetic undertones which are observable in all living things. To fully define desired projection is to limit human desire and attempting to do so islimited by the confines of human knowledge.
Section B. Intersecting Maximal Desires with Naturalist Situations.
The naturalistic position seeks, at most, a minimalist desire to be fulfilled. Common human minimal desire is the will to continue existing. The subliminal position seeks, at least, a wide and unclear list of all imaginable maximal desires to be fulfilled. “Pragma” intersection, in this context, is confined within: “A numbered set of broad desires which are able to be manifested into the real plane of existence within a reasonable time-frame, given the realities of current space-time.” Manifestation is thus: “The realisation of desired projections which have the form of a tangible object, expanding infinitely into the direction of a goal, or the perceived point of infatuation which may be requited.”
Section C. Domestic Goals & Hierarchy of Importance
- Continued existence of Nasphilitae as a country and its constituent-citizens.
- Ontological security of its constituent-citizens provided by holders of public offices.
- The natural intrinsic rights to private life, political arrangements and inclusive public participation.
- Intrinsic human desire for inter-dimensional perception as exemplified by cultural cross-understanding.
- Desire for constructing reality to accommodate betterment of life conditions pronounced in a material
context. - Security or freedom from anomic ambiguity by accounting for procedural clarity.
- Tranquility of life to the extent by which it can be publicly provided for.
Section D. Domestic Goals & Hierarchy of The Three Dimensions
Goals 1 and 4 belong under the jurisdiction of what has been called “inter-governmental”, “international”, “global” and like-wise. Within our contemporary political system, this area is exclusively under the primogeniture of Royal Supremacy.
Goals 2, 3 and 6 belong under a broad and controversially (termed) category of “first generation human rights of political and public participation”. They’ve been corner-stones of Nasphilitae which have been endangered (two-to-three) times in the past century, in avoiding a recurrence, a vigilant public is required. Media and close-proximity socialization hold highest accountability in fulfilling this task. They fall under the “cross-cultural” dimension.
Goal 5 is explicitly addressing the “economic” dimension.
Goal 7 suffers from lack of clarity. We will assume that (such as goal 1 and thus entering recursion) it is attempting to reference the “security” dimension.
PART III: Manifesting domestic goals, Defining Key Strategic Partners & their Classification.
Section A. Key Strategic Partners in the Region.
Performing difference of multiple (six) sets of means will be used and subsequently compared in arriving to this conclusion. The Cultural Dimension will factor in mean internal stability (1.5) and mean domestic public view of said country (1.5); the Economic Dimension is comprised of overall performance through estimated nominal GDP (1) and compatibility of economic sectors relative to domestic (1); the Security Dimension includes estimations of readiness (1) and conduct (1).
Esfalsa (5.5, lacking domestic knowledge of Esfalsan and sector incompatibilities); NAGB (3, derived from high GDP, sector compatibility and readiness of forces); Jakub (4, combined overall); Kliegme 5.5 (federal semi-presidentialism creates skepticism in its’ future stability, sectors are minimally compatible for comparative advantage in trade); Phanama (4.5, combined overall, difference from Jakub in political stability); Tepertopia (6, federal structure in combination with small size which attributes to overall lower economic mean and skepticism towards security readiness).
Section B. Key Strategic Partners among Regional & Great Powers.
Austra and Karnetvor exhibit key challenges in approaching a re-reconstructioned relation, due to general inertia, as well as divisive domestic public opinion. Highest potential risk endangering goal #6 is in future re-emergence of disagreements between Almanophonic countries and U.S.I. This sets a pre-determination of NPE’s foreign policy as an active participant, not alike historical positions. Re-occurrence of conflict in the Mediterranean and Cordilia Proper are not expected in the foreseeable future. Noted is that the lack of compatible trade partners on Crabry will subject foreign policy to revitalization efforts within its mercantile maritime industry.
Section C. Cultural Dimension Key Strategic Partners.
Internal political stability (accountability of foreign officials in respect to the culture and exercised by their population) are mutually vital for the existence of foreign relations. Multiplication-amplification is factored in physically (…by exchange and travel…) connectivity between domestic and foreign citizens. In aiding this fundamental, cross-cultural institutes and education exchange programs ought to be designed. Freedom of information and the responsibility of media in shaping public opinion is advised to be addressed multilaterally.
Section D. Economic Dimension Key Strategic Partners.
Autonomy and predictability of domestic production factors aid the formation of “brand trust” with their future partners. Automation of invoices and investment, with transparent state policies, are viable mechanisms for pursuit. The economic dimension will be challenged by internationalisation clauses which a priori restrict domestic entities from partnerships with foreign actors violating international law and customs. Hoping that such offering will be by-itself compensated in the future, without an active role of domestic public officials in promoting international prosperity, is a risk which should not be left fostering.
Section E. Security Dimension Key Strategic Partners.
An array of preventive measures exist, which have not been utilised fully, within this dimension. Information, both in procuring and securing access of-to it, is the gravitational center of contemporary security. Co-operation in the phases of prevention must be subject to thorough prior vetting of chosen foreign public officials and experts.
Section F. Multilateral Organisations & Participation.
Creation o multilateral organisations have been concerned with: global issues (W.F.), military alliances of mor than two partners, sports, and space explorations. Structures within W.F. Committees (e.g. EYCA) lack clear regulations both in regards to their relations with the W.F. as well as the W.F. Committee which “they are a part of”.
Economic multilateral organisations or arrangements are being worked on.
No progress has been made towards non-military alliances which do cover security.
MOST notably, there are no organisations nor agreements regarding ANY standards addressing units of measurements across multiple countries.
– Earl, Head of HM Cabinet for External Affairs of Nasphilitae, Quinlan Emmerson
CSD:Security and “Active Approach”
System of International Relations:
No system of relations is precise without some ground rules and procedures in their conduct. Within each era, members of an international system consciously put in place and modify these rules, elaborated through institutions.
Two Possible Systemic States:
These [institutions] then serve to manage relations, which could be in a state of war and diplomacy, or in peace and transaction. In this supporting document, the former will be assumed. Postulates of relations are: power, defence, and ethical conduct.
Power:
Within this [international] system [of relations], multiple cells of actors compete, aiming to “secure their own (internal) rules and impose (favorable to them) manner by which relations are exercised” onto others.
The winning cell determines natural progress, dictating its’ version of history and values onto the rest.
Hierarchy of priorities:
Comparative power of such a cell is derived from technological superiority. Ideas and normative morality can only exist within (some) imposed rules.
Noble ideas such as: human rights, privileges and responsibilities of great power actors, civilisationary standards, aid, intervention, rule of law (…) Must follow this hierarchy of priorities:
Power → Defence —> Ethical Conduct.
Defence:
Defence means “minimising risks to the state itself and also to the international community in which it operates”, definition derived from patterns of behavior.
For instance, if (x)
action from another international actor was promised that such action would be rewarded by (A)
reward, the state (y)
must ALWAYS ensure that (x)
is received (A)
upon the completion a desired action.
Ethical conduct:
Or, “legitimacy of a state in proper selection of actions adequate for state (y)
, in accordance to international community ethics, irrespective of the states’ own relations to (y)
state itself.” This increases prestige (which is a close substitute for power) of the state and allows for future possible impositions onto state (y)
by influencing internal dissidents.
– Peerress, Representative-Director of Nasphilitaes’ Agency for Identification and Documentation, Madison Edwards
CSD:Economy and “Vendor-Conglomerate Approach”
Madisons “peace and transactions”
Madison briefly mentions “peace and transactions”, when equating war with diplomacy, implying that these two “states” are binary, enclosed situations (though they re-iterate that both exist simultaneously).
All systems of relations, and all actions of international actors rely on the “fuel of finances”.
“Fuel of Finances”
Analogous to fuel, which is: extracted → refined → packaged → shipped → supplied → distributed → sold : For a non-great power state to control (part of or in total) the shipping, supply, and distribution of (n)
article – Aids greatly in its power, defence, and prestige. This is NOT a novel nor foreign concept, only merely new in the cotext of an “active approach”.
“The Intermediary State”
This “Intermediary State” must apply the following order of operations: demand detection, supply search, transactional assurance.
“Demand detection”
Demand detection: every “Action of another international actor (z)
requires some (R)
resources of (N)
number.” Regardless of whether this action originates in (z)
government or other entity within it. This neccessetates that the “Intermediary State” ALWAYS look for SCARCITY in all levels everywhere.
“Supply search”
Supply search: Autarkys’ impossibility, negative relations of an (R)
supplier and (z)
actor, (N)
size, quality of (R)
… Are all favorable factors. They allow the Intermediary State to “Take the role of an ex machina in manifesting the needs of another first party actor and desires of another second party actor.”
“Transactional assurance”
Transactional assurance: “For a third party (Intermediary State) to consistently provide the desires or needs for the second (R-t)
party or the first (z)
party, in accordance to agreement.” This concept is closely related to Madisons’ “prestige”, as it is merely a method in procuring it.
– Peer General, Head Commander of the Armed Forces of Nasphilitae, David Atkinsons
ICS Inventory Invoice Listings
AGPSE/AGPE Investment
Here you can find the overall return on investment of the top five most profitable companies. You will also find the price of one “Article” and its’ conversion rate, as well as the “form” you need to submit for the transaction to be registered. They are listed at the end of the week
Do keep in mind that until the 20th of August, you are buying stocks of these companies, limited to 20% of the entire capital asset it has. As you have no share in the company of investment, some are covered by the SGNs, which are Sovereign Government Notices that - In case of lower return on investment than the one you’ve received - The government of Nasphilitae will compensate you for the total amount of investment with 1.75% of additional interest for opportunity cost.
The difference between investment in AGPSE or buying invoice from the SIC Listed companies is in unit (currency) used, as well as safety, since invoice transactions (due to the ENV policy) are immediate. It is for this reason that the government recommends buying invoices first.
Performance Until MarW3 (Top 5):
« | FebW4 | MarW1 | MarW2 MarW3 | MarW4 | AprW1 | » |
INVESTMENT AND TRADE PROCEDURES:
INVESTMENT:
You purchase the articles in 60% of your domestic currency and 30% of the Pacifican Dollar. The prices will always be listed in Pacifican Dollar values per article. Your investment returns will be, at minimum (because of Sovereign Guarantee Notes issued by the Government) the total of your investment duplicated by the 1.5% rate of the total investment, which gives the numper that is additioned to your total investment. Please calculate this yourselves, using the Notes at the Forms end.
TRADE-INVOICE PROCEDURES:
Occassionally, companies will SIC list invoices they already have and new ones they wish to export. You will be asked to input the sector which seeks to purchase them, whether they want a service (unavailable) or a product, the product(s) tought after separates by commas, how many products you wish to purchase, and whether it is a one-time shipment of a repeat one.
The KEY difference is that you are purchasing these in Nasphiliti Pacifican Sterling Pounds. This form will not be automated until parity of our domestic currency to the Pacifican Dollar is determined.
Write all whole numbers WITHOUT COMMAS, decimal, space or dot separators. A comma is used for later processing and treats it as two separate sets.
