The International Forum is an international organization seated at Rilanon, Christie Island that seeks to maintain international peace and security, promote peaceful relations among nations, and to serve as the "primary place of discussion and deliberation" on matters of global concern. The organization was founded in 1921 in response to the Great War; with the result having been a stalemate, it was feared that another war could follow soon if a side made an attempt for a better outcome.

International Forum headquarters in Rilanon, Christie Island.

33 original founding nations signed the International Forum Charter in 1921. The organization has since expanded to 92 member-states and 4 observer states. Observers are able to participate in discussion, but cannot vote. The organization has two organs: the Security Council, designed to address threats to international peace; and the General Council, designed to address all other matters of international importance. Each member and observer can send one representative to the General Council. The General Council then elects the members of the Security Council, which has ten seats. The General Council also elects the Secretary-General, who is the chief administrative officer of the organization and the presiding officer of the General Council. Elected terms are for six months, with elections every February and August.

Effective in February 2021, an amendment to the International Forum Charter merged it with the Global Crisis Council, a separately-established international accords that is designed to be invoked in matters of particular emergency or crisis, such as a global war or an approaching extinction-level event. Beginning as of the start of that year's legislative term, members of the Security Council must also be members of the Global Crisis Council, which has stricter membership requirements and stronger enforcement mechanisms than the International Forum. Additionally, the Chairperson of the Global Crisis Council now presides over the Security Council ex officio, althought this had already been the de facto case since August of the previous year.

The current Secretary-General is Jeromy Gride of Mexregiona. The current Deputy Secretary-General is Ferdynand Mokry of Korćetta. The current Chairperson of the Global Crisis Council is Klara Sarinov of Durakia.

The International Forum has 2 leaders: the General Secretary (also known as the Secretary General) and the Chairperson of the Security Council. They are the presiding officers and chief administrators of the General Council and Security Council respectively.

General Council

The General Council consists of Ambassadors (or officials of equivalent rank and status) of every member nation of the International Forum. Each Ambassador is appointed by their nation in terms of the laws and customs of that nation. Every member nation has a single vote and is represented by only one Ambassador at a time.

The General Council has the power to elect the Secretary General, to elect members of the Security Council and of other bodies as determined by Resolutions of the International Forum. It also has the power to pass various Resolutions which include the ability to condemn, suspend and expel members such as when it condemned, suspended and expelled Balistria. It also has the power to delegate responsibility to other organs of the International Forum such as when it delegate decision-making power over the blockade of Nystatiszna by Kurikia. It has the power to set up international organisations such as when it established the International Cultural Heritage Organisation. It has the power to amend the Charter of the International Forum such as when in 2021 when it amended the Charter regarding Security Council override in 2021.

In addition, it also has the authority to suspend and expend the Ambassadors of individual nations such as when it suspended the Ambassador for Blueacia in 2021. It has the power to assist nations and authorise the use of International Forum resources such as when it authorised the Global Health and Solidarity Organisation to assist the nations of Serramal and Wessaeria.

The General Council has various procedures that govern its internal functions. These include rules for the conduct of Ambassadors both in the plenary chamber and in their duties outside the chamber, rules on voting, debating and the creation and dissolution of committees. Many of these rules emanate from the Charter however some arise out of convention.

Security Council

Unlike the General Council, the Security Council consists of only some of the members of the International Forum. These member states are elected by the General Council and typically have terms that span up to 6 months. Similar to the General Council, the Security Council has various rules of internal procedure. The powers of the Security Council include the ability to admit member nations. Although the General Council can pass non-binding resolutions that express their opinions on security issues (such as when it condemned the terrorist attacks on Asilica), the power to decide security matters falls within the remit of the Security Council.

This includes deciding on the International Forum's response and stance international armed conflict and international terrorism.

Members of the Security Council are as follows:
