History

Concordia was founded out of the need for a better, less controlling alliance. Concordia’s founding members: Nomads, Republic, and RMA, were all former Lodestar members. Having had witness the dangers of overly controlling alliances first-hand they decided to make an alliance that worked for everyone, not just an alliance that was a power-extension of another faction. An alliance where small factions were not overlooked, where each faction looked out for each other, and where you couldn’t be brought into a war that you didn’t want to be a part of.

Goals and Values

Concordia believes in the sovereignty and independence of its members nations, and trade associates. It sets out to enable this exercise in independence, while creating a united front against shared threats.

Concordia Charter

The nations of Republic, Red Martian Alliance, and the Nomads passed the Concordia Charter on 5-12-2021.

It embodies a belief in decentralization of power, limits of authority, and the spirit of working together for the benefit of all involved.

Structure

Concordia is a collection of fully sovereign nations in two tiers. Full Members get one representative senator to Concordia's Senate. Trade Associates get one Observer to the Senate.

Concordia Senate

The Concordia Senate consists of one member from each Full Member faction. Their primary role is to admit new members and ensure that current members are upholding the values of Concordia. They can make proposals for various unified efforts, however, any involvement by any members is still voluntary even after passage.

The Senate's discussion channel is open to the public, and everyone has a say if they wish in the machinations of the alliance.

Trade Associates

Trade Associates are given a say in proposals if they pertain to their privileges within the alliance. Otherwise, the focus for Trade Associates is in ensuring free trade within the alliance, and having a venue for themselves on the upcoming Concordia Station. This extends to member faction stations as well.

Membership

There are currently 7 full members of Concordia, with 3 trade associates.

Process

A factions diplomat need only join the Concordia server, and discuss joining with one of the 6 senators. A vote is held and, if passed, the new member appoints either a senator or observer. Trade Associates get 1 Observer, while a Full Member is given 1 Senator.

Military

The Concordian military is the member factions individual navies working in concert.
