## List of Meetings

So far, the ICL has had two meetings - The opening one and the beginning of the Weekly meetings.

### December 18th Meeting

On December 18th 2020, the International Cooperation League hosted its first meeting at the ICC building in Sevastopol. Over 10 people attended, and around eight nations in total were present for the meeting. Among the topics discussed were the opening of the Bosporus and Suez straits, and the destruction of the Banglatibet base in Romania. This base was noted for its military purpose in two wars led by RaiderKnight and was targeted for an inspection of military equipment. However, the debate soon dissolved into chaos and petty arguing, and the outcome of the entire meeting did not result any action for or against the proposition.

A poll was held asking all representatives to give their opinion on the meeting at the end of the session, and over half of those who left the meeting saw it as "unsatisfactory". Texas has alleged that during the meeting Voter Fraud was present due to Crimea having more than one vote. There is reason to suspect this, and Crimea has taken action to prevent such a thing in the future.

After the poor results of the meeting, Crimea attempted to set up new rules to make the next session more fair.
