The Alliance of the Micronations, commonly known simply as the AotM or the AoM, is an intergovernmental organization aimed at promoting cooperation between unrecognized states, commonly known as micronations. The alliance describes itself to be an alliance dedicated to global peace for the benefit of all micronations. It was formed on 3 June 2021, with currently 14 member states and 4 observer states.

The administration of the AotM is separated into three bodies, namely the chairperson, the AotM Assembly and the Security Department. The chair is the highest-ranking official in the AotM administration, they have the duty to oversee all of the AotM's departments, as the charter suggests. The Assembly is the primary legislative body of the AotM, where sessions are held on a weekly basis. The Security Department is responsible for security matters both external and internal to the AotM, and the admission of members and observers.

History

Foundation

The alliance was founded by Reuben I of the Kingdom of Salanda on Thursday, 3 June 2021. After its initial foundation, the now defunct Republic of Tuse joined, becoming one of the alliances' first members.

Defunct period

The Alliance of the Micronations was defunct from 18 August 2021, but was revived on Friday, 17 September 2021.

First and second revivals

First revival

On 17 September 2021, in an attempt to revive the alliance, the Kingdom of Salanda issued a royal decree approved by King Reuben I. Between the first revival and the beginning of October of the same year, the reach of the organization began rapidly spreading. However, by early 2023, the organization started to become inactive again, which became the main issue of the 2023 General Secretary elections.

Second revival

On 11 April 2023, a bill was passed to reorganize the AotM into the AotM Committee as a part of the Salandarian Tepoelan (parliament), with Reuben I of Salanda as Head of the Committee. The bill raised much controversy. On 27 September 2023, the AotM Committee was dissolved and in its place the AotM was re-established. On 25 January 2024, the drafting of a new charter was complete and the Charter of 2024 was announced and implemented. Members and observers registered prior to the implementation lost their status and would have to re-apply for membership. All former administrative bodies of the AotM were reorganized under the new charter.

Organizational structure

Administration and departments

The AotM is made up of the administration and various departments. The administration is headed by the chairperson, who is the head of the alliance, and is elected by popular ranked-choice vote to a three-month term. The AotM has three departments, the most important of which is the security department, which is responsible for the functioning and internal stability of the organization. Followed by the department of diplomatic affairs, which is responsible for managing the relations between member and observer states, and to create and maintain relations with external organizations and states; and the department of media, responsible for maintaining and developing the AotM’s sphere of influence and coverage online. All departments are headed by a secretary of the department, except for the diplomatic affairs department, which is headed by the chairperson.

Assembly

The AotM Assembly holds weekly sessions and is attended by both member and observer states. Each state may assign one to three delegates to be represented in the Assembly. Attendees of the Assembly may create and engage in specifically created sub-sessions for further discussions in various aspects. In the Discord server of the AotM, sessions are held in a forum-style conference called the Global Assembly.

Membership

Member states of the AotM are registered and considered full and complete members, unlike observer states, which are only partial members; both members and observers fully adhere to the Charter following admission. By becoming member and observer states, a country recognizes all member and observer states of the AotM to be sovereign and independent states. Membership is obtained by application through a detailed form, the applications are then reviewed by the security department, and then be further reviewed by the assembly on the next session by voting. An observer may apply for full membership upon completion of two weeks of attendance in the Assembly.
