Hey there,
I recently realized that the number of International Organisations in Pyingshum is rather low; or rather, more or less zero. Now, the last thing I want to promote is a "race" on who can win the most organisations for their respective countries, and I'm sure there are more than enough to come up with to make everyone happy. So I took some time and browsed the wiki (both on OGF and the real world Wikipedia) to look for some organisations that I would like to locate in my oh-so-glorious capital. However, I want to check with you guys if there are any objections or comments. It is very well possible that some organisations might already exist in OGF in one way or the other, or would make more sense to be located in the same city as a "mother-organisation" in some cases. So feel free to criticize my claims in all ways possible please! Or if you are particularly fond of one of them, I'm sure arrangements can be made ;)
In no particular order:
- International Organisation for Students Exchange (maybe affiliated with the ANESCO?)
-World Archive Organisation / World Library ... Could be just an international body for cooperation between libraries world wide, but if Pyingshum was seen as a worthy city I would also be happy to map an actual "world archive"; maybe alike to the modern library of Alexandria. I also already have a spot in mind, next to the National library close to the Besoegawan Norikichezi Station.
-International Museum Cooperative; This office could promote the exchange of loan collections between museums world wide.
-International Council for Science; this organisation exists in the real world as well. As far as I'm aware it functions as an umbrella group for all national science organisations. Obviously, all major branches of science have parallel organisations on national and international level; I feel fond to also claim the
-International Mathematics Union (but again, don't want to seem to grabby)
-International Organisation for Fair Trade labelling
-International Assoziation for the advancement of Organic Food (not pushing any agenda here ;) Just found out they exist in the real world, and think they would look nice on a map)
-Ulethan Film Academy; this one might be on the more controversial side. It could be associated with the Ulethan Culture Association, but for example the European Film Academy in Berlin is independent from any other association I think. Anyways, I always like to dream about Pyingshum as a cultural capital, but if there's any other city in Uletha that would like to claim the title of "Ulethan cinema capital", please go ahead
-International Association for the Advancement of High-speed rail
-International Adoption Agency (perhaps another ANESCO affiliate?)
(When it comes to "International" organisations which are more or less rooted in Kojolese culture - like a hypothetical Organisation of the Kojolese Language - I'll just take it as a given that I have the community's consent in locating them in appropriate location in Kojo)
I hope I can convince some to give some feedback and hopefully validation to my ideas, but of course criticism is strongly encourages as always.
Cheers, Leo
