As someone who was around in Particracy near the beginning back in 2005, I can tell you people have been talking about introducing an in-game United Nations and Security Council from near the very start, but nothing long-standing has ever gotten seriously off the ground. We've all talked and talked, and fantasised grand schemes, and argued about the finer technical points, and squabbled and bickered...but nothing has materialised. For over a decade.
Well, now we're going to make it happen - and yep, this is serious and this is "official". On November 1st 2016, we will have the identities of the initial 5 elected members of the Security Council. For more information, see here.
If you really want one of the 5 special top spots for your nation, then you're going to need all of the political skills you can muster if you're going to amass the nominations you'll need.
But remember too that not every nation will make it all the way to the Security Council - there are 58 nations, but only 5 positions. However, just because your nation isn't leading in the nominations race doesn't mean its not part of the process. Your nation may not be able to get a position - but it CAN help to decide which nations do. So get stuck in to the negotiations and do your best to ensure those who do get onto the Security Council share your nation's vision for Terra!
So what are you waiting for? Log-in to the game and get nominating! You'll see the voting options right there on the laws page.
To see how well the candidates are doing so far, check out the comparison pages fir Seat A, Seat B, Seat C and Seat D. Yeah, I know they're all set to "Abstain" at the present moment in time, but hopefully that will start to change over the coming weeks and months.
