Shall the Commonwealth of Felloyr be accepted as an AIN Member State?

[valen.]

► Show Spoiler

After a long time, I can finally bring a new nation to AIN. What was originally born as the Nordic Union, then evolved into the Republic of Iceland, now ended up being the Commonwealth of Felloyr, a territory located on the coasts of Norway. I hope you enjoy it and get as interested as I did during the development of this country. Any questions will be duly answered.

Felloyr, if accepted, will become my main nation, leaving Argentina on the sidelines awaiting a new direction that will allow me to build it the way I like.

This application is a great example of my main requisite for any potential AIN members: that you have a lot of passion for this project. History, stats, and especially the graphics, are excellent. I support this application.

On its face, I'm into it and support it provisionally. Feels in some ways like a near-shore Iceland.

Couple of questions I have:

1. "Mancomunal" feels like it might be a mistranslation or something that isn't coming across quite right from the original Spanish. The impression I'm getting is a sort of cantonalism, sort of like a small-scale Switzerland in which various local regions enjoy enormous autonomy. Am I misreading?

2. While obviously a small country and subject to microstate-style over-weighting of the wealthy, there must be something that drives Felloyr's GDP per capita as high as it stands, and it sounds like it's something in the services. How do they get there? Is Felloyr basically an offshore tax haven for the Nordic world? Do they specialize in a particular subsector or cluster?

1. Yes, it is a mistake when translating the document from Spanish to English, there really is no word in English to translate it with the meaning it has, the closest would be "communal". Within your assumption, yes, microregions within larger regions are guaranteed a fair amount of autonomy (legislative power is transferred to various cities within the same county instead of being focused on the capital of that county), all within a framework previously agreed upon by the "central body".

2. Regarding the economic power in Felloyr, everything is more oriented towards services and technology based on stages of an economic plan, with a main focus on new technologies and cutting-edge industries.

Hi, apologies for being later in responding.

First of all, really beautiful application. I love the clean, simple look to it as it fits the country well. I don't have any problems with this application and it will be an easy yes vote for me. I think my only concerns, which mainly surrounded the economy, have been answered. As a point of clarification, I assume your GDP per capita is the number on your application ($88,000), but the economy section of the wiki notes it as $77,000.

Overall, quite a solid application - I look forward to approving it and having Felloyr as a member of the AIN.

Very nice app! No comments, just what others have already said, very nice!

Thank you so much Kendall!
As for the GDP PC figures, the $88,000 is applied to the nominal value and the $77,000 is applied to the PPP value.

Thank you Charlie!

Other than that, looks good to me. I watched this progression from an idea to an actual application with receipts to back it up. You have my support

The application looks fit and proper, no objection from me.

Thanks!! I guess we could start with the voting phase, right?
