Member states of the Association of Indonesian Micronations
Member states of the Association of Indonesian Micronations (Indonesian: Negara anggota Asosiasi Negara Mikro se-Indonesia) are micronations that have been accepted to any membership status available inside AIM. Membership of AIM are dictated on the fourth chapter of the AIM Charter, while the By-Laws dictates conditions, rights, and obligations of member states.
Member status
Membership in AIM are divided into two statuses: full member and observer.
Full member
Full membership (Indonesian: Anggota penuh) is designated to any micronations with its main location in Indonesia, already passed observership period, and is accepted to become full member by the General Assembly. Micronations with such status enjoys rights to attend, speak, and vote inside the General Assembly. Only full members are eligible for rotating chairmanship of AIM.
In case of an observer member state failed to attain full membership status, the country will remain as an observer and are able to request accession to full membership status whenever in the future. The precedent was recognised in 19 April 2020, when Al-Muqaddimah became the first observer state to have its full membership request defeated in the General Assembly, although Al-Muqaddimah would later become full member of AIM after second request of full membership.
Observer
Observer (Indonesian: Pengamat, formerly Pemerhati) is designated to any micronations or organisations applying for such status. Prospective members needs only consent from the Chairman to attend General Assembly session and are automatically be granted observer status afterwards. Micronations with such status enjoys rights to attend and speak inside the General Assembly. Observers are not eligible to vote, or being considered for rotating chairmanship of AIM. In addition, micronations that are eligible to be full members can, if they want to, be remain an observer.
Prospective members of AIM must first passed an observership period (30 days) to review on their performance and potential inside AIM. On the end of the period, a vote inside the General Assembly will decide on their full membership status. All observer member states are designated to be automatically had their full membership reviewed and voted after the end of the period, unless the member state objected or are ineligible.
Before adoption of the current charter and by-laws in 2019, a membership status of permanent observer was reserved to any non-Indonesian micronation or non-micronation members that enabled them to access the organisation. Members with permanent observer status were barred from membership status advancement and to be considered for the chairmanship rotation. Notable former permanent observers were State of Bascal from 2011 until 2014, and Suwarnakarta Institute from 2016 until 2019, when the permanent observership status were disbanded and merged to the normal observer status.
Termination of membership status
By-laws of AIM recognizes four conditions for a member state to have its membership status withdrawn: dissolution; repeat violation of AIM Charter and laws; voluntary withdrawal; failure to attend General Assembly sessions for three months in a row. The By-laws also set a procedure for membership termination, which requires member state to present itself to the General Assembly to defend its membership status. Failure to attend General Assembly session as required will results in automatic termination of membership status.
Most former AIM members had their membership status withdrawn due to its dissolution or inactivity. In one high profile case in 2015, Los Bay Petrosian membership in the AIM were withdrawn after inactivity for more than 6 months, yet the passing of the resolution to expel the country were deliberately delayed as member states revered so much Los Bay Petros as one of the founding member of AIM. Only on one instance did member state had its membership status withdrawn due to repeated violation to AIM laws, which was done against Santos in 2011. Astanesian voluntary withdrawal from AIM on June 2020 also became the very first case of voluntary withdrawal of AIM membership, although Astanesia later rejoined AIM later on the same month.
