Forum for International Diplomacy

The Forum for International Diplomacy (FID) is a server-wide organization that aims to maintain international peace, develop friendly relations among nations, and encourage international co-operation. The Forum operates on a system revolving around discussion and non-binding votes to pursue the ultimate goal of world peace while also appeasing the CivClassics Culture.

The Forum was established during the NATO-Mir War with the aim of stopping the current war and preventing future wars from happening. With multiple attempts in the creation of a world peace organization failing, the Forum was the first ever world peace organization successfully created. Previous attempts tried introducing the formation of a World Military force, Binding votes, and a strong presence in every nation, similar to how the United Nations operates in the real world. These attributes however did not appease the CivClassics population and all ideas were dismissed immediately even though there still was an underlying need for a world peace organization. With the initial drafting beginning in late 2019, all ideas were taken into consideration and the drafting committee closed in on the system that is in present-day use. Since it was known to the drafters that an international governing body would not succeed, they opted into using a system revolving around discussion. Prior to the formation of the Forum, there was no foundation which could host international discussions effectively. Many drafters agreed that if this issue could be fixed, international problems would all be solved much faster than they previously were.

To encourage the use of discussion, the Forum hosts public meetings every few weeks, discussing a wide variety of issues that are happening in CivClassics with the aim of bringing them to the attention of the general public while also trying to fix them. In these meetings, member states may send up to 2 delegates which would represent their nation in the Forum meetings. Forum meetings are known for going over the topics of Wars, Politics, International Relations, International Projects and International Awards.

The Forum is also notable in its advancement of publicly available information in the forms of a public World Travel Advisory as well as public subreddit /r/DiplomacyForum and Discord which documents all political events in one location for all to see.
