I imagine most of us figured Porcu would remember and I guess he's been busy. If that's what it says then yeah, I imagine we should cycle through to the next batch of members. Although the charter needs updating in this department, it looks like the next batch should be:

- United States of America
- The Communist Republic of Yshurak
- The Confederacy of The Middle Eastern Socialist States
- The North African Republic of United Transitional Libyan Republic
- The Constitutional Empire of Kiru Tao

Of course, I feel like if we want to allow for the greatest extent in participation, we might want to mix up the lists a bit given that if this list stands as it is, Scy will be a busy man :lol:

Yes, my apologies. NRE's list for the new Rotating Members is correct.

I'd advise mixing it up a little, as I'm not sure giving me four seats is such a wise idea.

Oh, I understand, it's just that we voted on the Charter with the list as is. However, if I assume to have the authority to edit the list as needed (to avoid such conflicts in the future or to edit out non-existent nations) then I'll change the list. I'll get right on it of no one has any objections.

Well, I suggest an OOC rule where we move to the next name in a list should any player wind up with more than two seats on the Presidium. The player in question chooses which ones he wants to keep for the term. In this case, I'll choose Yshurak to keep (since Scythirus already has a permanent seat).

Likewise, though if I had to choose one, I'd go with Scy.

Wonderful idea, Scy. Things are solved then. The only thing we'll have to do occasionally is adjust to list to reflect current, playing nations.

If you want Porcu (and I remember), I'll try to update the list when I feel I've made major changes to the map (as I assume the list reflects the map keys).

The list does indeed reflect the current maps, but I didn't want to (and don't want to) add another responsibility to those you already have.

I have updated the list on the sticky thread for the Current Members of the Presidium. Please let me know if there are any errors - I tried to keep it in line with our new rule of no player having more than two nations on the Presidium at the same time.

I'd also like to propose that the following nations be removed from the continental lists of rotating members due to their inactivity:

- The United American Nations
- Eleytheria-Duo
- The Confederation of Arcadia
- The Federation of Native American Nations
- The Allied Western Territories
- The Western Union
- The Union of Free Falangist Republics
- The Republic of the Seven Cities
- The Order of the Teutonic Knights
- The Norman Kingdoms
- The Emirate of Abnar Al-Andalus
- The Caliphate of Khilafate Sulemania
- The Allied States of Arv
- The Federation of Semitistan
- The Republican Empire of Ulgania
- The Republic of the Wallace Islands

I've again updated the list on the sticky thread and was hoping to hear back from you guys about eliminating nations which no longer exist on the map.

Sorry I didn't see this before Porcu. Your list of eliminated nations seems fine to me. While some of those many still be with us they are not active nations and should they become active again, I don't see why we can't put them back on the list as easily as they are taken off. you've got my vote.

I just checked the current Presidium membership and Porcu Its passed July 1 so should we change the membership or wait until the end of the month to do it?

I echo Ben's question. Since the month is almost half over anyway, it might be wise to just wait until the end of July and have the new Presidium begin its residency the 1st of August.

I'm so sorry about letting this lapse in the manner it has.

I've updated the current rotating members and the new list of nations. I've set the new start date for 1 December; if anyone has any objections, please post it here.

I have noticed that a lot of nations are dead - it looks NRE has marked a ton of nations on the latest map update, and will do a clean up soon. I would suggest that after NRE cleans up the map, we clean up the Presidium list to reflect that, recognizing that our number of nations will likely be much smaller.

After that, it will probably be a good opportunity to rotate the Presidium. That said, depending on how many nations survive, it might be worth rethinking the structure of ICON and the Presidium since we will likely have a lot fewer nations total.

Yes, definitely a good idea and worth completing. I'll wait for NRE to do his thing and then modify the list accordingly. Then, if we feel the need to change the structure we can have that discussion.

I have prepared a new list of nations, based on NRE's most recent map updates. The remaining nations are predominantly in Middle East and European Continent, which is not surprising given our regions' history. There are twenty-five nations total. Note that this is all nations currently on the map, including at least one that I recall does not recognize ICON. Here is the list of nations, with regional numbering followed in parentheses by continuous numbering:

Africa
1 (01). Federation of United African Nations- Aksum
2 (02). Zolony- Mombassa
3 (03). United Transitional Libyan Republic- Tripoli

Americas
1 (04). Brazilian Catholic Kingdom- Rio de Janeiro
2 (05). Pacific Native Tribes -Portland
3 (06). Russian American Territories- Various Capitals
4 (07). Menhad-Mayport

Asia
1 (08). Chinese Eastern Empire- Beijing
2 (09). Eastern Islamic Empire- Quraish
3 (10). Chirondom - Shanghai
4 (11). The United Eastern Soviet States- Magadan

Europe
1 (12). Russian Empire -Moscow
2 (13). Kingdom of France -Paris
3 (14). Porcu-Ariminae
4 (15). Austrian Empire-Vienna
5 (16). The Order of the Teutonic Knights-Marienburg
6 (17). Quaon -Kiev
7 (18). The Baltic State -Riga

Middle East
1 (19). Paradise-Riyadh
2 (20). Transcaucasia-Rustavi
3 (21). Al Whaladya-Dayr az-Zwar
4 (22). United Libyan Arab Republic-United Libyan Arab Sultan City
5 (23). Al-Asiri- Al-Jirab
6 (24). Oreri- Oreria
7 (25). Gaedic Caliphate United
