CSTO (Night of the Living Alternate History Map Game)

The CSTO is the biggest multi-mililtary and political organisation of its type in the world. Dwarfing even NATO in its heydey, it has the power to radically change the geopolitical situation on the planet, whether it being to create a country from a bunch of small city states, to destroy hostile nations to the point of colonisation.

History
The Collective Security Treaty Organization is a military alliance between former some of the former nations of the Warsaw PACT. These nations include the Russian Federation, New Romania, Ukraine, Lithuania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Greece, the Republic of Thrace, and Belarus. When the USSR dissolved in 1986 and the Warsaw PACT officially disbanded. it left many nations in eastern Europe defenseless against the world. On the date of April 7th, 1986 the successor to the Warsaw PACT was created, now called the Collective Security Treaty Organization.

Main Purpose
Primarily, the main purpose of the Collective Security Treaty Organization is for the desire of all participating states to abstain from threats. Even though this may seem as a defensive tactic, the CSTO also can and will conduct offensive containment operations in nations that are controlled by corrupt regimes which endanger the region where our allies are located. In other words the CSTO is mainly a self-defense pact.

Part I - Treatment of Other Nations
Article I - All nations in the Collective Security Treaty Organization and not should be treated with respect.

Article II - No neutral nations outside of the organization should be attacked for an unjustly reason.

Article III - Mobilization of military armed forces of the organization may not move through neutral states unless that state gives its consent for military access. (Falls under both Part I and II).

Part II - Declaration of War and Military Aid/Mobilization
Article I - Faked terrorist attacks to start a war(s) with other nations will result in a kick from the organization if this is found out.

Article II - All nations within the CSTO must help other nations within the organization if they're attacked.

Article III-  When in war, the Geneva Convention must be followed.

Article IV - All nations within the organization are obliged to help allies attack and/or invade enemies of the state.

Part III - Propaganda and Fake/Actual Terrorist Attacks
Article I - Propaganda shall not be used to gain national prestige, gain land, humiliate other nations or be used to declare war on other nations.

Article II - The use of fake terrorist attacks to declare war on another nation will result in a kick from the organization.

Article III - Aiding or funding terrorist organizations will result in an immediate kick from the organization.

Part IV - Weapon Distribution and Production
Article I - Distributing weapons onto the black market, or giving weapons to 3rd world nations for no reason and terrorist organizations will result in an immediate kick from the organization.

Article II - Mass production of a nuclear armament will result in a kick from the organization. However, if your nation already had nuclear weapons before this constitution was made, the demilitarization of them should commence since they’re not needed.

Article III - Production of chemical and biological agents and/or weapons will result in a kick from the organization (That are meant to harm Humans)

Article IV - Stealing designs of weapons, weapon systems, vehicles, or any other sort of military equipment from nations within the organization will result in your nation being kicked out.

Article V - Secretly distributing weapons to ANY state, allied or not without stating this to the alliance will result in an immediate kick from the organization.

Part V - Miscellaneous
Article I - Promotion of illegal substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc will result in a kick from the organization

Article II - Hiding or aiding terrorists will result in a kick from the organization.

Article III - Promotion of terrorism will result in a kick from the organization.

The constitution for the CSTO is still under development, please ignore any flaws for now.

Military
The total military of the CSTO (amount of troops with all nations combined) is around 7,000,000 to 10,000,000 troops; both in active duty and the reserve.

Joining the CSTO
Any nation that wishes to join the CSTO must make an application that will be viewed and accepted by the secretary Nikolai Bordyuzha of Russia. You must be considered friendly and trusted to the CSTO to at least make an application. If you're invited, there is no need to make an application.

Discussion
United Republics would like to note many nation here do not speak any of the current languages

Scandinavian isn't a language.

'''In schools, he has merged Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Norweigian, and Iclandic all into one. His next generation will know Scandinavian as a language. '''

The South Africans would like Afrikaans/Dutch to be included as well.

Resoulution 002
A Resolution asking all CSTO members to join the ULN.

As it says in the title. Brought to the floor by: United Republics

Discussion
'''I think all CSTO nations are already in the ULN. If not, Russia agrees.''' - Edboy452 (talk) 18:45, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

No, many are lacking, including Ukraine and New Romania. Not sure if Scandinavia is, Maybe some more. (im on my phone and cant open multiple tabs so that is from memory) G greg e (talk)

Yea I just looked at the page, Ukraine and Belarus should be there since they technically signed when they were part of the USSR. Edboy452 (talk) 18:49, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

New Romania: We do not wish to join the ULN.

Resolution 003
'''All wars that a member declares must be supported by 66% of all members. '''

Resolution 004
Operation Indian Order

Seeing India being devastated by the zombie plauge, the Commonwealth proposes a temporary invasion and occupation of India.

The nations and India will be distributed a large amount of phlaxicortin-x, they are asked to bring their own retrofitted bombers to drop the mist or fire bombers.

The Commonwealth has already mobilized 150,000 troops to perth.

This operation would be a part of a larger ULN operation.

Resolution 5
Operation Korean Unity

The power finally in our hands, it is time to unite the Korean peoples' under the united banner of the Republic of Korea. South Korea are already a crucial member in this organisation, and it should be our responsibility to help end the chaos in the area.

Process: A large force will be assembled to undertake the Invasion, possibly the biggest our alliance might have to ever raise. The attack into North Korea will be three-fronted. To begin with, we will begin the Invasion through the DMZ, crashing through the defences of the North Koreans. Yet this will be a diversion to our main assault, which will take place on the eastern and western coast of the Nation, right behind the DMZ. From here, the three armies will meet and march into the rest of the nation, and finally unite a broken nation.

Commonwealth: I propose that for a six month period afterwards, joint occupation of Pyongyang until all pro-socialist leaders and strongholds are dissolved and dealt with.

South Africa: I agree. Plus, we propose the construction of CSTO bases around the former country, around 5-10. We will also asist in counter-insurgency activities.

New Romania: We will only help invade if we get some land on the Korean peninsula. We will need financial support to help aid our military though. I also propose that we get forces there in time in case the war starts now and many lives will be lost on both sides due to the balance in forces.

You already helped, algorithm is on the Talk Page, also H E Double Hockey Stick No you may not have land on the Korean Peninsula.

Resolution 6
Eviction of Poland.

Seeing as to how they treated Russians badly in the war which took place only a decade ago, and their unwillingness to co-operate with the German members, such as giving back historic German lands, the Netherlands (and de facto South Africa) believes that Poland should be removed from this organisation.

Just to state, Poland would never agree to be in this organisation in the first place, and neither would Russia want the nation to be a part of CSTO. I am unsure as to why Ed added them into the organisation in the first place. Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:23, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

I don't really care. If the nations can let go of grudges and work together, it could prevent a war, and bring peace. Whatever the CSTO agrees on, the RoS will support.Daeseunglim (talk) 22:31, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

Look, this is going to cause conflict anyway. Within the organisation. All of this is OOC btw, but I'll be honest - it will not be pretty. We could stop it now or see CSTO destroyed, becuase I want the CSTO to go on and this will create a lot of problems. Imp (Say Hi?!) 15:28, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Resolution 7
Scandinavia and New Romania need to sovle their issues.

Aye
Republic of SusquehannaDaeseunglim (talk) 15:32, June 21, 2013 (UTC) (We are willing to host talks, now that the war is over.)

Russia: We have removed Scandinavia from the organization for not reaching a peaceful solution. (Edboy told me to post this.)

Scandinavia: I believe, as per the precedent set by Res. 6, that a vote is needed for eviction. Romania and Scandinavia have in fact reached a peacful situation. It has been reported during an autopsy that King Harold I was mentally infirm during his last 9 months of his life, and King Haakon is attempting to fix this problem.

Also, New Romania threatened my sovereignty by ordering me not to expand. I only replied that if they got in my way, I would have to take action. Reximus55 (talk) 18:09, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Aye:

 * Texas

Abstain:

 * Russian Federation: I would go with a suspension instead of a kick since nothing serious has happened as of now. Also the articles in the charter that he broke is something that's more like frowned upon, and doesn't really need a kick.

Passes. Colombia is suspended as of 1994.

Resolution 10
Noting the use of Anthrax as a weapon in texas and other nations, the commonwealth proposes a complete outlawing of the virus' use as a weapon, as well as sending inspectors regularly to medical and other related sites in each nation to confirm the posession of any form of Anthrax is gone to the greatest extent. Plus making the charges/punishments for posessing anthrax privately more extensive. This resolution would also allow CSTO nation law enforcement the ability to issue a warrant to search suspected posessors' homes for any trace of the virus.

Pretty sure it is already punishable by the worst punishment endorsed by the nation it is in, so death in the USA, but life inprisonment in the UK under the counter terrorist act Local (talk) 21:53, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Yea Resolution 10 doesn't really make a difference at all no offense. Edboy452 (talk) 21:54, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Resolution 11
The base of Resolution 11 is to kick Canada from the organization, due to their instability and hostility towards the United States for no particular reason which breaks Article I, Part I of the Charter, and the production of biological weapons based off the Bubonic Plague which breaks Article III, Part IV of the charter and results in a vote able kick from the organization. As well as kicking Canada from the organization, they should also be placed under an embargo to prevent the distribution of any form of chemical or biological substance/weapon. This is a rogue state and has to be dealt with by being pacified by quarantining it from the rest of the Earth to prevent any future hostilities. Canada does not get to vote in this.

Resolution 12
Operation White Knight

South Africa calls upon its fellow members to send some troops and a large number of scientists to the nation to help it deal with the Exes outbreak. Measures taken so far are proving successful yet the nation would like some support in the matter.

Discussion
Russian Federation: I can't send some troops at the moment because of the threat with Canada and the Holy Roman War, but I can send in shipments of weapons and scientists to aid you.

South Africa: That is all we actually need. We will contain the infection, so that will be OK. Our troop numbers are also very high, but we will not be able to help our ally against Canada.

Russian Federation: OK, then.

Resolution 14
Following Spain's decision to attempt to forcibly annex Granada, Granada promises it will keep its independence if Iberia is not completely united. Granada and Portugal inform the CSTO that they will take action against Spain, if these actions are not reverted immediately. Wishes to hear all CSTO nations acknowledgement of the situation.

OK, then they shall be removed because of their unjust actions.

Update on Resolution 14
Portugal and Granada thank the CSTO for not favoring either side in this conflict. A resolution has been reached and Portugal and Granada are prepared to agree to this peace agreement. It will divide Spain up into four nations, two each vassalized by Portugal and Granada. Portugal and Granada will undergo talks to join in a union of their current monarchs (just figureheads) and their current governments into one unitary constitutional parliamentary monarchy (again the monarch just a figurehead). Furthermore, this treaty would for the Iberian Community, a regional community for the Iberian Peninsula and surrounding areas. The Iberian Community will revisit unifying the nations of former Spain in 2000.

'Resolution 15
Due to the instability of the organization in the western hemisphere, the Russian Federation proposes to kick all nations in the CSTO that don't maintain any influence in the eastern hemisphere. The benefits of this will result in stability in the organization because of the removal of many unstable members that are warmonger-like states such as the Republic of Susquehanna and Texas. However, the United Republics, Dinetah and Chan Santa Cruz will remain in the organization. Furthermore, the Falklands will be removed and not recognized from the organization.
