Etats-Confédérés d'Europe or ECE is a state of Europe that has the peculiarity to be made of several islands or coast zones around the region. All these areas once decided to gather as a confederacy that would be able to take care of foreign policies while all their citizens will be able to live a life full of sex and love.

ECE is well-known for being the nation of free sexuality. The government supports sexual freedom as a concept which became the pillard of the society.

The Etats-Confédérés d'Europe is a member of the ITO alliance, well-known for being a left-wing parliamental democracy with a strong navy and skilled intelligence services. The nation is played by almost the only french active player of the Region.

General Informations about the Nation

Name : République des Etats-Confédérés d'Europe

Official language : French
Capitol city : Marseille
Name of the inhabitants : confederals (in english), confédérés (in french).
Official shortcut of the name : ECE

ECE is a parliamental republic, a confederation, a democracy, and applies roman law system.

The national anthem is Brian Song and the national currency is the Eurand.

OOC informations

ECE is played by the almost only french player of the Europe Region, at least the only really active, a 23-years old newswriter nicknamed Lester Burnham. In OOC conversations with the other Europe players he acts as a sensible & educated pervert fond of schoolgirls, meantime with his fellow pervert : the player behind Twente.

ECE has been created as an NS nation in january 2003, but has not been played anymore since the beginning of 2004 and has eventually vanished. The NS nation doesn't exist anymore but the Europe nation has never been suppressed, even if sometimes the player asks for interruption in RP activity.

ECE player denies value to datas related to NationStates : NS is funny and is a first step that leads to our boards, but its datas are absurd. There's no need to argue that you have good NS stats with him. And there's no need to use any kind of calculator. Furthermore, ECE player considers useless to estimate the population of states or cities, because everyone will claim absurd numbers.

Political life

Constitution

President of the Confederation : President is elected every 6 years by "any person that has been elected by direct vote" (it includes : confederal parliament members, states' parliament members, mayors, etc.).

He is also the head of state of Transvaal. He his replaced, in case of vacancy and until new elections, by the president of the High Confederal Chamber. The presidential residence is known as Palais Longchamp. Sometimes medias refers to this place when they want to speak about the president himself.

Furtive & Nuclear launcher submarines : ECE's nuclear task force

ECE has inherited from the member state Transvaal an obsolete and almost dangerous nuclear arsenal made with 9 ogives and 2 nuclear launcher submarines.

There are no facilities able to build further ogives, although Transvaal is still full of Uranium. The repairing facilities of the submarines could be used to build other subs.

C.S Andries-Pretorius is the biggest of the two subs. She has been revised with SoG technology in early 2003. C.S. Paul-Kruger has been improved by ECE technologies and both weapons are fully able to work.

ECE uses sometimes the furtive capacities of these two weapons to threatens unfriendly nations who will never know wether their cities are in range of the Andries-Pretorius or not.

Intelligence Services, especially the MDK

ECE considers intelligence as something very important and has created a large & powerful system of Intelligence Services in which the main agency, the MDK, plays the most important role.

Intelligence services in ECE

Mekanik Destrüktiw Kommandoh - MDK : the famous intelligence agency is controlled by the following structure

Praetorii : An army corpse under parliamental control & presidential commandment which also includes security services & other.

Direction Générale de la Documentation - DGD : civilian intelligence structure controlled by the ministry of Internal Affairs under the same parliamental control than Praetorii, and taking mainly care about domestic intelligence.

MDK

The MDK (Mekhanik Destrüktiw Kommandoh) is the biggest intelligence service of ECE and a very powerful organization in Europe.

MDK has its base in Kobaïa, a secret place situated somewhere in Transvaal state. Their leader is the obscure & mysterious Christian Vander.

MDK agents are NEVER alone but ALWAYS three persons together. Never one more, never one less. The three MDK agents operates together, one being covered by the two others. Basically, the "acting" agent of the trio is the one who is in relation with the officer. The others are under its dependence. If a member of the trio is captured or KIA, the two others will welcome a new agent and act again as a trio.

MDK agents speaks a strange language called "kobaïan", in order not to be understood by other people in action.

The most important success of the MDK happenned when Europe was divided in a Cold War between democratic alliance EDF and communist alliance ComIntern : the MDK was able to introduce spies in the ComIntern (a fake-nation called "USS Amerindians") and had access to all the private debates of the CI in their private forum, and acted as influence agents sometimes. The spies were eventually captured after a betrayal from "friendly" intelligence services of the neutral alliance UAP.
