Grand Entente Alliance

General Overview
The Grand Entente Alliance is a server-wide alliance with a mission to maintain peace and prosperity among the nations of Towny Origins. It was founded in Season 3 by player BlaueDeutscher, the leader of Trinia. The initial goal was to create an alliance where nations could support each other and have representation by nominating delegates for representation.

The Founding Nations
The term "founding nation" means has two definitions depending on the context of the time period. In Season 3, when the alliance was founded, the Founding Nations were simply the nations that originally agreed to be in league with each other. This was long before the Grand Entente Charter was eventually ratified, which established a Founding Nation as not only a nation with broad veto powers that other nations are not entitled to, but also as a political position, where nations can be voted in as Founding Nations if an original either leaves the alliance or becomes defunct, pursuant to the Charter.

In Season 3, here were the original Founding Nations:

Trinia

The United Federations

Great Britain (Now defunct)

The Grand Entente Charter
In Season 4, the idea for a written Charter was originally floated by player WhenYouExist, who eventually decided to write a draft and present it to the alliance for ratification. The alliance wound up ratifying it in a unanimous decision on September 18, 2020. It went into effect on September 28 when the Grand Entente Authority of Seated Delegates met for the first time in Saint Rosalia under the new Charter.

The Grand Entente Authority of Seated Delegates
