The Smalik Treaty Organisation for Industrious Cooperation (STOIC)
is an international organisation founded as SUECS by
countries on the continent of Smalik on 3 April 317. It focuses on
economic and military cooperation between the member states. The members
of SUECS initially created a customs union and a military organisation
aimed to enhance and coordinate military cooperation between the members.
The civil wars in the neighbouring LUKP that started in 318 accelerated
the formation of the military component of SUECS. In February 320 SUECS
was renamed STOIC.
History
Between 308 and 316 AP Bowdani desintegrated until it was formally
dissolved in October 316. Some former Bowdani territories decided that
intensive cooperation between them continues to be necessary and after
some informal talks in early 317 and a formal meeting in Taskä (Western
Shore) on 1 February, SUECS was founded on 3 April by the Treaty of Er
Qeet. The name and its abbreviation 'SUECS' were chosen before 'SUCCESS'
(Smalik Union for Close Cooperation in Economy, Security, and Sustainability'
as the latter was considered too arrogant. In January 320 it was however
decided to change the name to 'Smalik Treaty Organisation for Industrious
Cooperation' (STOIC), which the member states felt would pose fewer
limitations to the scope and purposes of the organisation.
The initial four member states were the Coare Republic, the Duchy of Gen,
the Free States of Tak, and the Free Republic of the Western Shore.
Although they initially agreed upon a slow pace development of the
organisation's tasks, the civil war that erupted in the neighbouring
Lectern of United Kencari Peoples (LUKP) in 318 made the member states
approve more hasty measures.
On 15 February 319 the Kingdom of Bėltse and the nation of Vaara signed
the accession treaty of SUECS; the parliament of Bėltse ratified the
accession bill on 24 May 319 and has been a full member since that date,
whereas the parliament of Vaara followed on 10 September 319.
In October 319 the nation of White Bowdani signed the accession treaty
of SUECS; ratification followed on 22 January 320.
In January 320 it was announced that SUECS, soon to be renamed into
STOIC, invited the Republic of Kencari, the Kingdom of Nucani, and
the Three Cities and the Cove for accession talks. Kencari and Three
Cities and the Cove signed the accession treaty of SUECS/STOIC on 15
September while Nucani has to overcome some legal incompatibilities
first before an accession can take place. In April 324, Nucani was
deemed ready to join STOIC as a fullfledged member, with accession
scheduled for 1 July that year.
Organisation
STOIC is an intergovernmental organisation with headquarters in the
city of Bbicobes (Western Shore). It is governed by the Conference of
Governments, which convenes regularly twice a year in a member state
of choice.
The Board of Governors deals with daily affairs, with each
member state being represented by one Governor, appointed for a
renewable four year term. Until September 318, one of them acted as
the organisation's Secretary General by rotation for a duration of seven
months. Afterwards, the term of the Secretary General was prolonged to
four years with indefinite possibility of renewal, and instead of the
rotational scheme, he or she will be elected by the Supervisory Council
(see below) using the Single Transferable Vote system.
Lastly, the Supervisory Council can be seen as the organisation's
parliament. As of 1 July 324 it has had 103 members (42 from Tak, 23
from Kencari, 11 from Coare, 9 from Three Cities and the Cove, 3 from
Western Shore, 3 from Gen, 3 from Bėltse, 3 from Vaara, 3 from White
Bowdani, and 3 from Nucani) who are elected or appointed according to
procedures determined by each member state. The number of a member
state's SC members is its number of inhabitants divided by 2 million
(rounded down to the nearest integer), but with a minimum of 3.
The incumbent members of the Board of Governors are:
- Othn Basselmun (Bėltse, since 26 May 323)
- Mparytyn Scaegga (Coare, since 7 April 325)
- Ongosuq Aevaas (f, Gen, since 7 April 325)
- Buhowdiff Ddotercess (Kencari, since 24 September 321)
- Coeress Ppivaurih (Nucani, since 1 July 324)
- Qur ob Mɛɛk (Tak, since 3 April 317)
- Östa Zästa (Three Cities and the Cove, since 25 March 325)
- Maarga Oos (f, Vaara, since 12 September 323)
- Augini Stribiesta (f, Western Shore, since 7 April 325)
- Jiadis Ṕuessego (White Bowdani, since 15 January 324)
Secretaries General of SUECS/STOIC have been:
- Ggogg Duhoan (Coare; 3 April 317 - 3 November 317)
- Qeerreq Horis (Gen; f, 3 November 317 - 3 June 318)
- Qur ob Mɛɛk (Tak; 3 June 318 - reelected in 322; incumbent until 1 September 326)
