The now-termed "Dependent Status Clause" exempts member-states which fit a list of strict criteria from fulfilling their Article 5 obligations. In effect, the US Armed Forces subsumes a large portion of the duties their militaries are expected to perform. Only the West Indies Federation, Haiti, British Honduras, Guyana, Suriname and the Faroes classify for the special status as of 1962. |

A so-called "OFN Observer Nation" like this one isn't in a charter category, since it does not vote yet maintains complete independence. It simply means with economic, foreign, and military matters, it knows where its bread is buttered, so to speak. And like all nations who place a premium on human liberty, OFN membership is a possible outcome in the future. |

Partnership programs began in 1950 with the OFN-OAS Defense Compact, whereby the OFN could offer defensive modernisation to members of the Organisation of American States. Partnerships also facilitate military missions, grants, and other OFN aid. through their affiliation with these programs, partner nations may be granted observer status in the OFN Security Council and put on track for eventual full membership in the alliance. |

Description
The Organization of Free Nations (OFN) is an organization comprised of primarily democratic states and led by the United States of America. The OFN was created to insure the security of the Americas and the South Pacific, as its founding members are the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. To this end, the organization often backs separatists in the Einheitspakt and the Co Prosperity Sphere, the analogous political blocs led by Germany and Japan. The OFN operates as a collective defense alliance although it will intervene itself in numerous conflicts as the game progresses.
The OFN trades with most neutral nations and the Triumvirate.
History
The OFN was originally formed at the end of the 1940s by a handful of nations that still resisted Nazi and Japanese imperialism and that were democratic and free. These generally included the remnants of the Allied Powers that remained independent after the Second World War.
One of the biggest events in the organisation's history is the formation of the West Indies Federation, an artificial nation state made up of the remains of now Nazi-controlled countries' colonial possesions in the Carribeans under a single administration. Other significant events include the creation of the OFN Antarctic Administration, the Joint Administration of the Antarctic between the US, Australia and New Zealand, and the fortification of Iceland and the Faroe Islands as a counterbalance to German posturing in the Atlantic.
