Revitalising the Ardem League; ATTN you slackers

Well, the Ardem League has kind of gone incognito recently. I've been considering options to revitalise it, so here's some of my proposals.

First off, a flag! <3 We kind of forgot one before so I designed this one. Thoughts?

Posted Image

Second, I've written a proposal for one major change to the Ardem League charter, which adds the following clause;

Quote:
 
Article Five - Currency
Section 1. There shall be a central currency (to be known as the Ardr), to be shared by all nations of the Ardem League. It shall be administered by the Central Financial Union for Ardem, which shall be responsible the approval of a central currency standard, including shapes, production materials, denominations and weights for mintsto abide by, and for policing counterfeiting of the currency. It is to be headquartered in [somewhere].

Section 2. The central banks of the member states of the Ardem League shall be responsible for the minting of regional variations of currency, which may use their own unique regional designs but must abide by central guidelines of the Financial Union.

Section 3. The central banks of the member states of the League shall be responsible for setting local interest rates and for possessing foreign currency reserves.


Give me your thoughts on this. The whole original charter can be found here and the whole revised charter is here

EDIT: Ardr is just a placeholder. We also need a proper currency name. Ideas?

Goldecia would be against a central currency and central bank and would sadly have to leave if this went through , it would stay in only if there was an exemption from the single currency arrangement.

Although that might make a nice rp.

After speaking with Brum Brum more in private, I've edited the charter a lot more. Most of it's fixing loopholes but there's also some structural changes. Check it out here. Stuff in red is edited.

I think there should be a change allowing consumer protection law to be put in place(think eu travel package act etc.) and also for the ardem league to negotiate free trade with other countries. The parliament should consist of 10 or 20 MP's from each country(could be elected by districts for example 10 in my country with each county electing a person). But still keep powers relatively limited though so nations can choose freetrade treaties with other nations etc..

There could possibly be a clause allowing some immigration control if a nation is being flooded with immigration.The main tension goldecia might have is if immigration from within the union grew too much.

Ah good, you've added how members were to be accepted. Cause I had no inkling how to proceed with that, as for a central currency...Antova wouldn't like it, if an option exited for keeping your currency it would chose that

Changing my currency would be a pretty big change.

Ooops - after all that I forgot to add the opt in option for the currency.

Article Five - Currency
Section 1. There shall be a central currency (to be known as the Ardr), to be shared by member states of the Ardem League who opt into its use.

Section 2. The Ardr shall be administered by the Central Financial Union for Ardem, which shall be responsible the approval of a central currency standard, including shapes, production materials, denominations, weights and maximum printing quantities for mints to abide by, and for policing counterfeiting of the currency. It is to be headquartered in [somewhere].

Section 3. The central banks of the member states of the Ardem League shall be responsible for the minting of regional variations of currency, which may use their own unique regional designs but must abide by central guidelines of the Financial Union.

Section 4. The central banks of the member states of the League shall be responsible for setting local interest rates and for possessing foreign currency reserves.

Good initiative King. I like the flag personally, it's symbolic and the color scheme isn't overdone and all over the place; it's simple and beautiful, as I like most things.

Regarding the central currency, Falsea would support it's passing in the name of integration but'll not join....immediately, if things turn out for the better.

I've added one more clause to it under Defence.

Quote:
 
Section 2. There shall be established an international standard for military signals and designations between Ardem League members to allow for ease of communication and cooperation in times of war.


How do we want to do this? Just OOC say we all signed it IC, or do an actual meeting?

Before this is finalised I think two governance things could be better. In Section 1 of governance I think 4 or 5 years is more appropiate to give more states a chance at leadership or maybe adopting an EU style system of rotating presidencies.

Then secondly I think the Ardem league parliament should consist of at least 10 from each country possibly up to 15 as this would allow democracies to create "ardem league parliament elections" to get representatives to parliament and mean each parliament member would actually be able to represent his local community better than 2 covering a whole country. It would increase costs and you could maybe up the contribution a bit but it would be worth it. The terms could last 5 years like in rl EU parliament.

After discussion with Brum on the above, I've done more amending. I've upped the number of MPs to 10, plus added a clause to the stock exchange and financial union saying how they are governed (by reps from each state).
