Overview
The Federation of Like-Minded States, also known as the FLMS, is a defensive and economic alliance within the Region of Atlantian Oceania that was formed as a counter to the Strategic Alliance of Autocratic States. The original members of the FLMS-formation talks, that resulted in the official charter, are: Lamoni, Legalese, Chacor, The Holy Saints, Latao, The New Atlantians, Bedistan, Falcania, and Neo Atlantis Colony.
The FLMS is also sometimes called the “Freedom Loving Mighty States” by the people of Latao.
Headquarters
The FLMS is located in the nation of former Wapahkoneta, where representatives and leaders of the member nations meet. The Atlantian Oceania Regional Council also meets in this ex-nation, as it is roughly in the geographic centre of Atlantian Oceanica.

Article 2
All member nations must come to the defense of an attacked member nation. However, the member nations may themselves decide how they wish to support their attacked ally.

If an FLMS nation wants to involve the alliance in a war (unless they are attacked first), then the Alliance Coucil must approve it by majority vote.

FLMS member nations shall engage in free trade with each other, as long as their economy is not adversely affected by such trade.

FLMS will be controled by a council of representitives from all FLMS member nations. The FLMS headquarters shall be placed in the neutral AO nation of former Wapahkoneta, where the AO regional council is currently based. Each Council Member has one vote.

The FLMS Council shall be headed by an elected Council Chairman. This individual shall be a delegate and citizen of a member state, and serve a two year (IC year) term, with a limit of two such terms. The Council Chairman shall be elected by the voting membership of the Council.
Article 7
After the initial member nations of FLMS have approved this charter by majority vote, all nations seeking to join FLMS must be approved by majority vote of FLMS Council Members.

As one of the wealthiest nations in the alliance, Bedistan can help to share this wealth with other alliance members, who can provide military assistance in return.
Chacor
Information Incomplete
Druida
The United Lands of Druida see the FLMS as a way in which it can boost trade and aid its less than spectacular economy. Druida's military is also not what would be described as strong, in that it doesn't have one. But then, Druida has historically been a pacifist country that does its best to avoid conflict at all costs. It is thought that should the FLMS come into military conflict with the SAAS, then Druida would pull out immediately and declare itself neutral.
Falcania
Information Incomplete
Lamoni
The Free Republic of Lamoni views the FLMS as a help to its economy, aswell as a strong military alliance that can be called upon in times of need. Lamoni would like to see more nations become members of the FLMS, because the threat of the SAAS is near to hand.
