Brick of Nations: Center for Diplomacy

The Brick of Nations: A call to civility and diplomacy

The Brick of Nations is officially open for the current round of Great Brick War.

This is where nations are free to bring forth their issues or seek to invoke international laws. Nations that have more than (1) Player must ensure that they have only (1) representative at a time to voice concerns at the Brick of Nations. This will be left to the individual nations to decide who their representative will be.

The format for addressing the Brick of Nations Shall be as follows:

1. A player wishes to motion for a new international law - A player must post in this thread that their nation is seeking to institute an international law. That nation must...

• Build a case in their post as to why this needs to be done and...
• The player must get (3) other nations to co-sign their motion by posting agreement to said motion in this thread.
• If a player achieves the (3) cosignatures, the council (myself and staff) will determine if the cause can move to a general vote.
• If it is determined that the Brick of Nations is not going to vote, the issue is dead and cannot be resurrected unless circumstances provide building a substantial case. If the council approves the motion to vote, a separate thread will be opened to vote. Each nation will have (1) vote. If multiple entries are posted from (1) nation, the first one will be the vote counted. 

2. A player can air a grievance with another nation - A player can seek to resolve an issue with another nation directly or they can ask for a council resolution. If a council resolution is requested, it must be detailed and show cause for a resolution. The council will determine the outcome of any resolution and may open the floor to a vote as outlined in #1. 

3. A nation can make a formal declaration - this is used for nations to state intentions. Declarations of War, territorial outcomes based on battle, intent to break a treaty or alliance, ultimatums.

Any country that is seeking to use military force against another must formally declare war against the country it is using force against. Any nation that uses military action against a sovereign nation without declaring war may be subject to action from the Brick of Nations. 

All posting in this thread is to be done in character and as a representative of your nation. Players are encouraged to create a unique Minifig to represent them as their nations Ambassador to the Brick of Nations. Staff may create ambassadors for your country to use for promotional content to drive the game. It is important to keep an eye on this section and try to build (pun intended) off of what the staff creates. This area is not to be abused or cluttered with endless back & forth ranting. Be professional and diplomatic.

Curtis Larkin- Ambassador from the Republic of Filace

"The world sits in a state of turmoil. Recent conflicts have not quite cooled off and others appear to be brewing. It is our duty to maintain an open channel of communication with all nations to prevent further full scale war and promote cooperation throughout our globe. Our Republic stands committed to ensure peace globally and we call on all nations, regardless of affiliations, to work together in this chamber to bring about change through discourse."

The betrodden proletariat of the world seek equal opportunity to prosper. The goal of the glorious people of the PDSRE is to enable all minifigs their chance at living a life free of abuse, avarice, manipulation, or other constrains to their liberty. We advocate for the advancement of all minifigs, regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, sexual origin, or disability. We push for this worldwide and gladly extend the invitation for any nation to discuss policy with us to avoid unnecessary suffering and bloodshed. Our recent humanitarian efforts in the beleaguered nation of Soalon show our commitment to the downtrodden as we provided food, shelter, and re-established governmental oversight for much of Soalon.

Curtis Larkin- Ambassador from the Republic of Filace

"I stand before this chamber today at a loss. Within the last two months there have been 5 pirating incidents off of several coasts around the globe. Of those 5, only one has been interdicted further strengthening the resolve of these organizations. They have gotten VERY VERY bold. In working with our partners in the intelligence community we have ascertained that one of these most recent incidents has caused a global security problem. In an effort to remain cloaked in secrecy, a nation chose to use civilian cargo vessels to transport nuclear materials violating international law. The vessel in question, was seized by pirates and the material is now believed to be in the hands of a rogue state. The failures of the international community to handle something as simple as pirating show how weak our collective resolve is. Our country will be coordinating an effort to recover these materials and may be requesting assistance from other nations as well. Shame on those of you who stood by and allowed this to happen."

Ian Stewart - Ambassador of the Deland Republic

Let us work together to achieve a brighter future! A future free of oppression, suffering, bloodshed and turmoil, but instead a future of prosperity, equality and hope. Let us not repeat the mistakes of our predecessors, but learn from them instead. It is the Deland Republics goal to create a future, that people will not dread, but look forward to. And it is our responsibility to lay the foundation so that future generations may live in peace.

Bellmuttet is filling its vacant seat and declares her royal highness, 

Princess Charlotte of the House of Battenbricks, 

its new ambassador to the Bricks of Nations.

May she fill her role with foresightedness, wisdom and endurance in order to bring the nation of Bellmuttet security and prosperity and peace to the world.

This is the direct result of the deal of the King and Prime Minister: the king initiates diplomatic contacts and the Prime Minister answers by opening up politics to the royal household.
