Question and answer

Q: Why are there country codes?
A: Resolution 3 ("A resolution on country codes") intends on streamlining economic development and documentation, By providing country codes, mailing between member and observer states in the World Forum will become a simpler process. Country codes also allow for international sporting organisers to know how to abbreviate the names of countries.

Q: What shall I do if the head of state and head of government is the same person?
A: Just copy and paste.

Q: Can I have more than one country be a member or observer?
A: Yes, but only one of your member states can vote aye or nay. All of your other member states must abstain in votes.
