The **International Peace and Prosperity General Commitee of the Nations of Orbis**, more commonly referred to as the Orb, is an intergovernmental organization whose stated purposes are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and serve as a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations. It is the world's largest international organization. The **ORB** is headquartered on international territory in Chaldean Ziggurat, Sumer-Akkad.

The **Orb** was established after World War II with the aim of preventing future world wars, and succeeded the Jesse, which was characterized as ineffective. On October 30th 1846 BCS, the participants of WW2 met in Almaren and drafted the Treaty of Valimar, and the organization took effect on November 27th, 1846 BCS. The organization's objectives include maintaining international security, upholding international law, and maintain the status quo. At its founding, the **Orb** had 10 member states; as of 1588 BCS, it has 20 – almost all of the world's sovereign states. The **Orb** is available for any nation to join if they request to do so and participate in **Orb** activities.

## Structure

### Voting System

The Orb's main purpose is to host votes available for every member to propose and cast their vote on. This can range from designated protected environmental zones to peacekeeping missions. Members can vote yes, no, or abstain. Not voting will count as abstention. Initally, all votes had to vote unanimously yes for a vote to pass; any votes for no would shut it down. There were very mixed opinions on this system, with some claiming it steered the world towards unity, and others claiming it gave small nations extreme power over world events and it being more useless than the real-world UN. During the Great Dauk War, the Administration agreed to host a vote to change the core system.

As of 1589 BCS, the system changed to where a vote must have a supermajority to pass, which is 2/3 for yes out of both votes for no and abstentions.

### Peacekeeping

Whenever a war occurs, the ORB is able to host a vote to send a peacekeeping force to aid the defending nation, no matter if they're outnumbered. If the vote passes, the amount of peacekeepers depends on the amount of nations who voted yes. The system is as follows:

* 60% (minimum to approve in favor): 3 volunteers
* 80%: 4 volunteers
* 100%: 5 volunteers

Various votes to send peacekeeping missions have failed, in-part due to the unanimous voting system. A comprehensive list of approved peacekeeping missions is below:
