Delegate: Groot Gouda
Founder: The IDU

History

The IDU was founded on July 25, 2004 after a series of raids against The North Pacific. The raiders managed to take the delegacy and mass-ejected many of the region's most valuable members and even some completely random members. At the time of the IDU's founding, the North Pacific ban list contained approximately 150 nations. The vast majority of these were nations who wanted nothing more than a peaceful region where democracy ruled and people were free to play the game without fear of the random banishments that would be illegal in any other region.

The current rules unfortunately do not favor that playing style in a Pacific. The IDU is that peaceful, democratic region.

Fundamental values

The IDU stands for democracy. No delegate will ban without a regional vote. No delegate will cast his UN vote without a regional vote. No interregional alliances will be forged without a regional vote.

The IDU stands for a powerful UN. Recruitment campaigns will be run in the Pacifics. UN non-members are welcomed but encouraged to join the UN. UN members are encouraged to draft and assist with proposals, as well as to participate in discussions in either or both of our UN forums. The Delegate is encouraged to read the current proposals and approve those deemed worthy of UN attention. With each proposal that reaches quorum, a regional vote will be taken and the Delegate will vote in accordance with the will of the people.

The IDU stands for national sovereignty. Nothing aside from compliance with the Constitution will be required of any individual nation. Our team of UN writers will strive as much as possible to keep our proposals from infringing upon national sovereignty.

The IDU stands for regional stability and security. Constructive rather than destructive competition will be the norm. This will insure that whoever holds the Delegacy, they will have the maximum possible number of endorsements, strengthening us against outside attack. Should such an attack occur, the Founder will remove the known invaders as soon as humanly possible. There will be no appeals process for known raiders, they will be regarded as enemies of the state.

The IDU stands for community. Through this forum and through our internal and external diplomatic relations, we will establish a strong, influential, and vibrant NS community. We will show no hostility to diversity, but rather welcome it with open arms.
