Forum of Minecraftia

From Minecraftia Wiki

The Forum of Minecraftia, often simply called The Forum, is the continuation of the World Embassy. Like the World Embassy, which was founded by King William I Viromaro during the Second Era, The Forum was also founded by a Viromaro, namely Emperor Richard I Viromaro. Also like the World Embassy before it it is located in the Kythiran capital, and both were officially supranational organisations.

Origins

The World Embassy was the first attempt at creating international diplomatic ties in order to promote peace between peoples. It was built by the Kingdom of Kythira, but only hosted a small number of international peace councils. With Kythira joining the Redstone Alliance, the World Embassy became an organization on paper only, never hosting another council. 

Today the site of the World Embassy is still open to the public. Aside from the Embassy itself, one can find a small prison cell, the Redstone Alliance council, and the main execution block of the Kythiran Empire.

After the end of the Minecraftian Dark Ages Emperor Richard I Viromaro felt the need to restore an independent body to handle conflicts both within and outside of the Empire. To this end the Forum of Minecraftia was created, a supranational organisations with a small governing Council of Ten that rotates every five years.

The Building

The Forum of Minecraftia has her headquarters in a large glass domed hall in Helmira, with places for each party to speak on equal footing. It is located next to the International Peace Palace, which is used for more private talks, and the Villa Altojardin, which is used as a guesthouse for guests of both the Imperial family and the Forum of Minecraftia.

The Villa Altojardin and the International Peace Palace are owned by House Viromaro and the Kythiran Crown respectively, but they are on a lease to the Forum with a symbolic single Florynt payment every year.
