​The Big Five
The Big Five is a group made up of most supportive and strongest nations within the Commonwealth, to help in deciding what course of action the Commonwealth should take in various situations that arise. The Big Five do not have the power to go against the majority of the members, but does have the right to allow nations to join the Commonwealth, hasten any proposals if they have more than two-thirds of members votes on it and make Active Resolutions.

​Honorary members
An honorary member is a nation from outside of Europe who will secure their part of the world. To become an honorary member, you must be an active member of the Commonwealth politics, simply being on a different region does not entitle you to be an honorary member.

Honorary members don't have as much power as the main Five (they can't accept other nations or hasten any proposals) but have the power to stress their point of views on decisions that the Five make. Main Five do not need to wait for honorary members to give their opinion on their decisions for them to come to power, but they must respond if an honorary member makes a counter-argument for main Five's decisions.
 * The Bolìvar (Colombia)

​Rules of the Commonwealth

Active Resolutions
 ((DON'T READ IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE GOLDEN COMMONWEALTH, CONSIDERED CHEATING)) 

1. Peace treaty between the New Kalmar Union and the Commonwealth
Kalmar Union has fallen and has decided to surrender to the Commonwealth forces. Now we need to make a peace treaty for them. The Main Five are needed to work together for this peace treaty to make sure that Kalmar Union does not go unpunished. Each member of the Main Five should write what they would want to enforce in the peace treaty, from territorial gains to governmental changes. After this, depending on what other Commonwealth members think of the peace treaty, we will either send it to Kalmar Union or revise the treaty. Remember that you need to consider each member of the Commonwealth when deciding what you would demand from the Kalmar Union.

Finland: We demand Kalmar Union to dismantle their navy and army, reducing their navy to only 4 coastal ships and army to 25,000 troops, dismantle any missile weapons and reduce their airforce to 10 fighters. Finland also demands them to give us Norrbotten, Troms, Finnmark and northern parts of Nordland. They should also take the blame for starting the war and repay Commonwealth members for the costs of this war. Southern Sweden and Norway should be given to Japan, but the territory should be under the protection of European Commonwealth members. Germany should gain the territory what they lost to Denmark in World War 1. If the citizen of Kalmar Union decide to rebel against the government and form their own nation, we should aid them and recognise their nation as they have fought against a warmongering menace of the world.

Germany: The NKU must disband the NWO and lower the size of their army to around 20,000-25,000 men And their navy to 3 ships, along with this the Air Force should be limited to 10 fighters and all weapons that could cause mass destruction (Missiles, nukes, ect.) should be destroyed. Finland should get the territories of Norrbotten, Troms, Finnmark and Northern Nordland. Japan should get parts of South Sweden and Norway while Germany should have Denmark. The government must become a Democratic Republic with free elections and they must pay for damages caused to the Baltics and GC. Furthermore the NKU must not be permitted to enter a war in the next 20 years.

Holy Bulgar Empire: The Empire is very disappointed and disgusted with the Kalmars' warmongering and hereby demands ownership of the city of Stockholm, as well as a decently large surrounding area; this territory must have a coast. We want this territory to gain the status of a Bulgar colony, similar to Egypt. We demand the disbandment of the New Kalmar Union and that after the treaty is finalized, whatever land is not ceded to Commonwealth member nations will become part of two new states of Norway and Sweden, and that both these states conduct elections for their leaders, supervised by the Golden Commonwealth. Both states must pay reparations to all Commonwealth member nations as well as the Baltic countries. We demand that the Kalmar army is heavily reduced to 20,000 men, their navy reduced to 2 coastal ships, and their air force reduced to 10 fighters. Also, we demand that all claims from all the Big Five nations are validated and ceded to their corresponding nation. We demand that Norway and Sweden must not, unless it is assisting the Golden Commonwealth, join any wars for the next 25 years.

France: France agrees with the other Big five Members, We demand that the army is reduced to 22,500 soldiers and their navy to 2-3 coastal ships, and air force be reduced to 9 fighters, and they must dismantle and the GC will take any massive destruction weapons that they have. France agrees with all of the territorial claims except that France gets southern Norway up to Oslo. We disagree with the Bulgar faith being spread to Kalmar. Kalmar must pay small reparations to us, and the country becomes a republic. We don't want the peace deal to be too extreme, or else the citizens of Kalmar will hate us. Kalmar cannot join a war for 20 years.

1. Concerning the Baja Incident (Proposed by the Holy Bulgar Empire)
As the Kazakh government has noted, the Fifth International does not want another cold war and would love to keep good relations with the Golden Commonwealth. However, the American invasion and capture of Baja from Mexico has resulted in higher tensions, as a member state of this Commonwealth has invaded a member state of TFI (The Fifth International). For the sake of preventing another Cold War, the Grand Council of God and His Divine Eminence, Oracle Pulir I of the Holy Bulgar Empire, hereby propose that the United States backs off from Baja.

Russian Federation: Invade Canada instead.

Finland: The invasion of Mexico is a very worrying development in North America. Finland would like to establish peace talks and a ceasefire between Mexico and United States for now to find a solution for this incident. We vote "For".

Great Latvian Kingdom: Instead of attacking Mexico, USA could attack to Canada, other Middle-American countries or even some Pacific countries.

Zelvon: Instead annex British Columbia and Yukon.

United States of America: No comment.

Sweden: Sweden proposes to have peace talks held in the new IKEA located in Narvik. We vote "For"

Holy Bulgar Empire: If Baja is not given back to Mexico, it is likely that TFI's and this Commonwealth's relations will badly sour. The Empire votes "For".

France: France votes "for" but urges TGC to stand together in this tough situation.

Germany: The Federal Republic of apalled by the recent developments in the Mexican region of Baja and requests a peaceful solution to this conflict. We vote "For".

Greece: We do not wish to become part of conflict between TFI and TGC. There was a vote held recently, and the majority of Greek people voted for peace between Mexico and USA and Baja is returned to Mexico. We vote for. However, if a cold war breaks out, we will leave TGC.

Pakistan: Give Baja back to Mexico. And invade Canada instead.

2. Concerning the Dissolution of the Fifth International (Proposed by the Holy Bulgar Empire)
As the Kazakh government has taken measures to disband the Fifth International due to an influx of membership withdrawals and subsequent interest in this Commonwealth, the Grand Council of God and His Divine Eminence, Oracle Pulir I of the Holy Bulgar Empire, hereby propose that we attempt to begin a project of mass recruitment and advertisement to this Commonwealth to, per se, "pick up the pieces" from the dissolution of the Fifth International.

Russian Federation: It seems that the United Federation have replaced this Fifth International... But we are "for" on a mass recruitment campaign

Finland: The fall of the Fifth International could've been partially due to their own mass recruitment and lack of capabilities of maintaining a unified organisation. Finland does not wish that to happen to the Commonwealth. We do however, agree that the Commonwealth should expand but in a way that can be handled within the Commonwealth. Due to this concern within the government of Finland, we must vote "Against".

Great Latvian Kingdom: No comment as of yet.

Zelvon: No comment as of yet.

United States of America: No comment as of yet.

Sweden: We feel that a mass recruitment would destablize the Golden Commonwealth, but could also increase relations worldwide. "We vote Abstain"

Holy Bulgar Empire: This proposal would increase good relations worldwide and help to unite the nations of the world in an alliance of friendship and cooperation. The Empire votes "For".

France: No comment as of yet.

Germany: No comment as of yet.

Greece: No comment as of yet.

Arabia: Arabia agrees with this proposal,we should invite the ex-member nations from the Fifth International to join the Golden Commonwealth.Arabia votes "For".

Portugal: Hum... Hum... I guess yes

3. Concerning the new applicants, The Big Five Project (Proposed by Finland) ✓
As there has been alot of new applicants to the Commonwealth due to the dissolution of The Fifth International and the popularity of the Commonwealth, most of these applicants aren't given a straight "yes" or "no" answer for their application. France gave an idea for a group within the Commonwealth, The Big Five, which would work together to better the organisation and work on deciding wether or not allowing the applicants to join the Commonwealth. This has been a subject between Finland and Russia in secrecy and three members have been decided already. Finland and Russia are going to be two of the five members, third one is a secret for now.

The members are asked to give their opinion about the Big Five Project, wether or not they support it, and if they support it, who should be in it. Every member can say three members to be in the group but these members must be active and loyal to the Commonwealth, following the organisations rules and working towards the better of it. Reasons for suggesting a certain nation(s) must be told. The decision about the members will be made by Russia and Finland after every member has told their opinions.

Russian Federation: We vote for this idea, this would allow us to develop a more solid leadership and could make steady progress towards stabilizing and organizing our group for more cooperative work, such as expansion. Obviously, Finland, Bulgaria and Russia are co-operative, so we vote for them to be the first 3, the last 2 is unknown, but we prefer large and strong members to secure their parts of the world, such as America. But we aren't sure for the rest though, our leaders needs to be slightly spread out so they can secure their section of members of the world. France/Sweden/and maybe Arabia is a good choice as well

Finland: We vote "For" on this idea because it would bring the organisation closer together while keeping it free from any major political demands. We suggest Bulgaria, Germany and Sweden to be the three members of the Big Five. We suggest Bulgaria due to their support for the Commonwealth, Sweden due to it's diplomatic actions which have been very similar to Finland and Russia, Germany due to it's central location in Europe which would be required to keep Western Europe happy and secure because the group wouldn't be completely dominated by Eastern and Northern European countries. Germany and Sweden are subjects to change though, as the other members might provide good points for other candidates.

Great Latvian Kingdom: No comment as of yet.

Zelvon: We vote for if they add 3 temporary members as well.They must last for 5 turns ingame.They must be for first five years:

Zelvon (lol i wrote myself),Latvia and Sweden if they will not be in the permanent group.

United States of America: No comment as of yet.

Sweden: We agree with Finland on the next three members, and are honored to be suggested. We vote "For".

Holy Bulgar Empire: The Empire is honored to have been picked for membership in the Big Five, and agrees totally with this resolution. Thus, we vote "For." Since we have to pick three others to suggest, though, we pick Arabia, France and Germany.

France: Ummm... What do you think? Lol, anyway, we vote "for" and agree with Arabia's idea. The 3 extra members could be France, Germany, and undecided on the third one. Maybe Bulgaria, Arabia, or USA.

Germany: This is a good idea as it will allow closer ties between members of the commonwealth and prevent Anarchy among the alliance. Sweden is an essential Diplomatic power. Bulgaria has been very supportive of the Commonwealth and it's members and is also very active and able. While both France and the Federal Republic would be crucial for maintaining the more Western nations. in terms of other nations Arabic would make a good eastern represenitive but it's recent entry and lack of activity will likely limit their capabilities. America is possible but very unlikely, mostly due to their invasion of Mexico. Portugal has joined recently and has been quite inactive so they are unlikely Greece has not commited much to the Commonwealth. Zelvon has yet to emerge. and finally the Great Latvian Kingdom, it would not be a good idea to overpopulate the Big Five with Eastern European nations.

Greece: No comment as of yet.

Arabia: We agree with this proposal because it would help to have better control over our organization,we also suggest to have a member number limit of around 15-20 members.We also agree with the big 5 project and here are our suggestions for big five members: 1.France:Because of their activity and location in western europe (this country would be the one that represents the western european region) 2.Germany:Because of their strategical position in central europe and international relevance and 3.Bulgaria:Because of their activity and support for this organization. Additionally we also suggest to have 2 or 3 additional temporary members that would represent other regions from the world in case more countries join the organization (1 member from the Americas,for example Colombia 1 from Africa,for example South Africa and 1 from Asia,for example India) the temporary members would also be elected and their membership in the security council would last 5 years (5 turns).We vote "For"

Portugal:  We agree and we vote "For"

4. Concerning the membership system-(Proposed by Arabia)
Because of the big numbers of candidates for joining the organization,Arabia would like to suggest an update for being a member and also suggesting a number of member limits,the suggestions are:1.We should have a member limit of 20 members 2.We should only accept 3 members per year and 3.All the members of the organization must be active and loyal to the organization,if not they are kicked.

Russian Federation: Right to vote taken away until Civil War ends.

Finland: The Big Five Project already presents something similar to this idea. We vote "Against".

Great Latvian Kingdom: No comment as of yet.

Zelvon: No comment as of yet.

United States of America: No comment as of yet.

Sweden: We do not see a use for this resolution. We vote against.

Holy Bulgar Empire: The Empire fully agrees with Finland and Germany concerning this resolution and votes "Against".

France: No comment as of yet.

Germany: This would negatively affect the Commonwealth as it would possibly result in the kicking of a large quanity of our members and limit our ability to recover in the event of the former. Further more a limit of 20 members would leave out many who would want to join. We vote "Against".

Greece: No comment as of yet.

Arabia:We vot "For" because this would help us to solve the worries about the number of members and a possibly collapse of the Golden Commonwealth.

Portugal: We agree with Germany. We vote "Against"

5. More schools and more science (Proposed by Portugal)
We need to build more schools of evey type of sciences (Including the Social Sciences) and I propose a constrution of a lab for the best scientist of the members of Golden Commonwealth work for the cure of ebola and find millions of animals and scientific laws. Possiblle zones of the lab: Russia, Finland or France

Russian Federation: We could establish it in France, but we could have back-up labs in Russia and Finland in case something happens with the others

Finland: We believe that new labs should be built in France, as their infastructure and level of science is far greater than in Russia or Finland. Finland is already repairing the schools and is investing alot of money into the education.

Great Latvian Kingdom: No comment as of yet.

'''Zelvon: We vote for. Just be sure that chemistry labs are in Zelvon.'''

United States of America: No comment as of yet.

Sweden: We are already planning to amp up our education and infrastructure in the coming years. We vote for.

Holy Bulgar Empire: We see education as a virtue, and we believe in a merging between science and religion. If there was a big bang, how did it start? Our God started it. We vote "For".

France:No comment as of yet.

Germany: Germany votes "for" and the labs should be built in France.

Greece: No comment as of yet.

Arabia: We vote for and we choose France for the location of he laboratories,we are providing an additional $1 billion in funding to construct the labs in France.

Portugal: We agree with this. We will build more schools and sending scientists for the lab in France

6. Concerning the Russian Civil War (Proposed by the Holy Bulgar Empire)
The Grand Council of God and the Imperial Court of the Holy Bulgar Empire feel that the Golden Commonwealth, as the largest multinational organization in the world, is obligated to choose what to do due to the Russian Civil War. This is a slightly different proposal than most, as this is rather urgent. Members may choose to support a faction ((Check out Batran's 2017 TF post for more info on the factions))  or vote for neutrality. No member, under this proposal and however the votes go, is mandated to support whatever faction the Commonwealth overwhelmingly sides with. (Unless the majority vote for neutrality.) Commonwealth nations may support whatever nation they desire. This proposal is only in existence to bring the issue to the attention of this Commonwealth.

Russian Federation: We are the point of this proposal so we cannot choose a side.

Finland: Finnish government unanimously agrees that Russian Federation should not be given a choice in this matter as it is far too fragmented at this moment. Finnish government also suggests that the Commonwealth takes a diplomatic stance in this crisis, trying to solve this without violence by demanding the factions in Russia to cooperate with the Commonwealth and the world, not becoming an isolationist state like it might become. If any faction decides to reject this offer, the Commonwealth would be put into a state of war against that faction. Also each nation should have their own choice wether or not to support any faction as long as they do not threaten the Commonwealth.

Great Latvian Kingdom: No comment as of yet.

Zelvon: We support Behrohev.

United States of America: No comment as of yet.

Sweden: No comment as of yet.

Holy Bulgar Empire: The Empire will be supporting the Khanukev Faction due to their emphasis on religion and their quest for Russian pacifism.

France: No comment as of yet.

Germany: We support Ivan Bevrohev for his stance on Human rights.

Greece: No comment as of yet.

Portugal: Portugal with the war in Spain and in São Tomé and Princepe cannot send troops to Russia, so Portugal will be Neutral during the civil war

Pakistan: The people here support Bevrohev!

7. Concerning the Dengue Epidemy in Madeira (Proposed by Socialist Portugal)
In Madeira, Portugal, 230 people are in the only hospital of Funchal with sypthoms of Dengue. We don´t want anothers countries with Dengue or other infeccious diaseres, so we need to build more hospitals of tropical diaseres and I suggest all the travells and trade to Madeira forbbiden and this is important due to the recolonization of the african continent relation with the new diasers like Ebola, Dengue, Yellow Fiever, Chagas Diasere and many others

Russian Federation: Right to vote taken away until Civil War ends.

Finland: No comment as of yet.

Great Latvian Kingdom: No comment as of yet.

Zelvon: We vote for.

United States of America: No comment as of yet.

Sweden: We are happy to send money for building more hospitals and medical care. We will help in anyway possible.

Holy Bulgar Empire: A legislation has been passed temporarily banning all Bulgars from going to Madeira. This will remain in effect until the epidemic has subsided. We will be providing medical assistance and will also help build more hospitals.

France: No comment as of yet.

Germany: Any and all travel from German territory to Mandeira Portugal has been banned until the situation is properly handled. Furthermore the Federal Republic is eliminating all trade to that city. Germany shall send 100,000$ in Marks to the Portuguese government to build Hospitals in the city.

Greece: No comment as of yet.

Portugal: We will close the Islands of Madeira to all tourism and any form of trade, we will build more hospitals of tropical disease due to the recolonization of the African territories and the epidemic of Dengue in Madeira.

Japan: We sent Medical Personal and Supplies of varying Things from Food Rations to Medical Equipment we also help Modernize the Hospitials that are in need of Updates.

8. Kazakhias Human Mutation- (Proposed by Zelvon)
Kazakhia is mutating humans to make them like robotic machines (sort of). They also banned free speech. I think we should sanction them for banning free speech and making smarter cyborgish but slower humans.

Russian Federation (White Russia): Not to worry, we are in conflict with them right now, we can help enforce this proposal if this passes.

Finland: One of the Commonwealth founding ideas was that it would not force it's members to do something they don't want to besides defending each other if their territorial integrity is threatened. If anyone wants to embargo Kazakhia, they are free to do so but we shouldn't force members who don't wish to do so, to embargo them. Also, we do not have any authority over Kazakhia's internal politics so we do not have any reason to meddle with their internal affairs. Though what Russia has already stated is true, if we want to, we can enforce something like this on them in the peace treaty. We vote "Against".

Great Latvian Kingdom: No comment as of yet.

Zelvon:We must sanction them and stop their horrifying human experiments! But,we support their thing to make more intelligence among ppl but if they wont mutate people.

United States of America: No comment as of yet.

Holy Bulgar Empire: This is a sin and a huge infringement on the sanctity of life! How dare these Kazakhians treat nature in this greedy way for their own benefit? They are like Eve to the Golden Apple! THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

France: 

Germany: This is an attack against human rights and our species! They must be sanctioned as hard as possible and their experiments must be destroyed immediately. We vote "for"

Greece: No comment as of yet.

Portugal: No comment as of yet.

Japan: Same as Mexico "Against" though i do hope they can find a way to restore the origional human body while maintaining the intelligence and we exchanged techs with them but we understand everyones concerns

Bolivar: We vote against.

Australia:

9. War on America (Proposed by Russia)
It is come to the attention of the commonwealth that Mexico, Middle-eastern Alliance, etc. was rumored to have plan something. The Plan turned out (or at least we assume) to be an attack on the United States. Is there any type of intervention we must do, if we want to do any intervention at all?

Russian Federation (White Russia): I suggest to talk it out rather than "fabricating" a Casus Belli

Finland: No comment as of yet

Zelvon: No comment as of yet

United States of America: No comment as of yet.

Holy Bulgar Empire: We wish to follow suit with our friends in the Bolìvar and we hereby declare that we will not participate in the war. We will invade, however, if things get out of hand, but no land we occupy will be taken as anything that isn't a simple occupation zone, and once a peace agreement is reached we will withdraw from said zone. That said, again, if the war does not get out of hand at all and a peace agreement is reached, we will have no part in the war at all.

France: No comment as of yet

Germany: No comment as of yet

Portugal: No comment as of yet.

Japan: Nippon-Koku is at war with America since we are allied to Mexico and was at the site when the Mexican President was assassinated(by Anti-Mexican Group from America) while discussing the structure of the united space agency.

Bolivar: Though we are allied with Mexico, we will not be participating in the war unless it gets out of hand.

Australia: No comment as of yet
