The International Assembly is the main body of delegates to the Community of Nations; all countries recognised by majority vote in the International Assembly are entitled to send a single voting delegate to the International Assembly. The International Assembly is able to move and pass motions on anything, but nothing it passes is binding but for motions on whether to recognise or not recognise certain regimes or governments as legitimate states, to decide on appointments of members of its Committees, and to impeach Secretary-Generals. The state in question, if already a member, is excluded from the voting on itself. The strict formula for motions to be passed is half of the total number of non-abstaining delegates plus one, rounded down; this remains the same no matter how many delegates are actually present, thus the quorum number is a simple majority of non-abstaining delegates. Draws on simple motions mean the motion fails.

====Secretary-General====
====General and Administrative Committee====
{{main|Secretary-General of the Community of Nations}}
The General and Administrative Committee effectively manages the operation of the Community of Nations; it arranges security, materials, interpreters, identification, and so forth for Committees and Commissions within the CN. It also deals with budgetary issues and oversees the bureaucracy of the CN. In its appointment, the International Assembly generally follows the recommendation of the Secretary-General and the Councils, as the roles are formally purely administrative.
The Secretary-General is the leading executive and presiding legislative figure, who is appointed by runoff voting, round by round, in an open ballot by the International Assembly. A Secretary-General candidate must achieve nominations by at least 5% of the delegates in the International Assembly to be put onto the ballot; each IA delegate may only nominate one candidate per election. If there is a draw, the most recent living non-impeached Secretary-General is obligated to decide. Secretary-Generals have their terms renewed every five years; the incumbent [[Madison Haas]] of [[Valentir]] came to the position in 2015.  


====General Committee====
The General and Administrative Council is chair by the Secretary-General, which is officially the chief bureaucrat of the Community of Nations. However they are often seen as the face of the organisation and so have an important diplomatic role. The Sec-Gen is elected every five years and rotates by region. The Secretary General has two deputies - the Deputy-Secretary General for Logistics and the Deputy Secretary-General for Personnel. Under these are several under-secretary generals.
The General Committee is appointed by the Secretary-General, who is a member thereof, to help lead the CN, including the Deputy Secretary-General.  
===International Committees===
There are five International Committees which have formal legislative powers. They make decisions by their delegates voting through simple majorities. All International Committees have permanent representatives from [[Estmere]], [[Nuxica]], [[Narozalica]], [[Senria]] and [[Werania]] and a representative from each of the eight regions. These members would be elected by their regional peers and serve terms of three years with no re-election allowed unless the Secretary-General approves it as a measure of last resort (i.e a deadlock between nations fails to produce a candidate)


====Administrative Committee====
If abstention (which is allowed) causes a draw, the Secretary-General acts as tiebreaker. If the Secretary-General abstains, the decision does not pass. Councillors from those members with non-permanent seats are elected by their region, but cannot serve another term until all other members of that region have served. They serve a three year terms. Councillors from permanent members serve according to rules set by the members themselves.
The Administrative Committee is voted in by the International Assembly by open ballot single transferable vote. This always occurs immediately after the finish of a General Committee election. If there is a tie, the Secretary-General is obligated to break it. The Administrative Committee effectively manages the operation of the International Assembly; it arranges security, materials, interpreters, identification, and so forth. In its appointment, the International Assembly generally follows the recommendation of the Secretary-General and the Councils, as the roles are formally purely administrative.
====Security Committee====
 
The aim of the Security Committee is the preservation of peace. It’s mission is to decide on such matters as intervention, peacekeeping and active observation of threats to the global order. The SC oversees peacekeeping missions as well as approving Community of Nations mandates and {{Wp|economic sanctions}} as measures to maintain global peace.  
===International Councils===
 
There are six International Councils which have formal legislative powers. They make decisions by their delegates voting through simple majorities. All International Councils have permanent representatives from the [[Marolevia]], [[Estmere]], the [[Federation of Asteria]], [[Negara]], [[Songguo]] and [[Werania]], and have a total of 14 members each. If abstention (which is allowed) causes a draw, the Secretary-General acts as tiebreaker. If the Secretary-General abstains, the decision does not pass. Councillors from those members with non-permanent seats are elected by their region, but cannot serve another term until all other members of that region have served. They serve a three year term. Councillors from permanent members serve according to rules set by the members themselves.
====Security Council====
The Security Council decides on such matters as intervention, peacekeeping and active observation.  


The Security Committee unlike others allows members (both permanent and non-permanent) to veto motions. Vetoes  can be overridden by the International Assembly under the following quorums
*Non-permanent member veto - 50% of IA votes.
*Permanent member veto - 75% of IA votes.
*Two-member veto - Unable to be overrode.

The Community of Nations is an international organisation established in the wake of the Great War to foster intergovernmental cooperation and prevent another major war. The headquarters of the Community is in Kesselbourg City, and enjoys a status as international territory. The organisation is financed by voluntary contributions by its member states, and its objectives include ensuring international peace and security, as well as promoting human rights and social development, protecting the environment, and organising international aid.

History

Structure

International Assembly

The International Assembly is the main body of delegates to the Community of Nations; all countries recognised by majority vote in the International Assembly are entitled to send a single voting delegate to the International Assembly. The International Assembly is able to move and pass motions on anything, but nothing it passes is binding but for motions on whether to recognise or not recognise certain regimes or governments as legitimate states, to decide on appointments of members of its Committees, and to impeach Secretary-Generals. The state in question, if already a member, is excluded from the voting on itself. The strict formula for motions to be passed is half of the total number of non-abstaining delegates plus one, rounded down; this remains the same no matter how many delegates are actually present, thus the quorum number is a simple majority of non-abstaining delegates. Draws on simple motions mean the motion fails.

General and Administrative Committee

The General and Administrative Committee effectively manages the operation of the Community of Nations; it arranges security, materials, interpreters, identification, and so forth for Committees and Commissions within the CN. It also deals with budgetary issues and oversees the bureaucracy of the CN. In its appointment, the International Assembly generally follows the recommendation of the Secretary-General and the Councils, as the roles are formally purely administrative.

The General and Administrative Council is chair by the Secretary-General, which is officially the chief bureaucrat of the Community of Nations. However they are often seen as the face of the organisation and so have an important diplomatic role. The Sec-Gen is elected every five years and rotates by region. The Secretary General has two deputies - the Deputy-Secretary General for Logistics and the Deputy Secretary-General for Personnel. Under these are several under-secretary generals.
