The Forum for International Cooperation and Trade (FICT) was officially founded on 25 June 2011 in the Kaupelanese capital of Purikali. FICT can be considered as the successor organisation of FICTS, which will be terminated once the ratification of the founding treaty of FICT will be completed by all FICT member states, five of which are currently members of FICTS.

FICT is an international organisation that aims to foster and improve economic, scientific and cultural development in, and cooperation and trade between its member states by means of:
 ▪ the (facilitation of) trade agreements;
 ▪ the exchange of industrial and technological
 - knowledge and ideas;
 ▪ scientific and technological cooperation and
 - knowledge exchange through the organisation
 - of scientific conferences and establishment of
 - international research institutes;
 ▪ the promotion of tourism and improvement of
 - traffic of people through a visa agreement;
 ▪ cultural exchange.

In real life, FICT is a geofictional project of a small number of persons that created their own countries. If you have created a fictional country on earth as well and you think that it fits in the FICT rules as stated here, you can send an application to the current participants through the FICT forum on www.geopoeia.net. Note that you have to register yourself in order to access the forum.
 

The two most important sets of rules are:
 ▪ the Rules of FICT: the rules for (human)
 - participants and participation in FICT
 ▪ the Treaty of Purikali: the formal agreement
 - between the member states
 

The FICT headquarters are located in the capital of Kaupelan, Purikali.

All member states are represented at the headquarters by means of an ambassador. These ambassadors meet in Conference whenever necessary; the conference prepares decisions. In alphabetical order of country names in English (not official state names), each ambassador serves a six month term as Chairman of the Conference or 'chairman' for short. The chairman and his or her secretariat are in charge of the management of the headquarters as well as the organisation of the conference and meetings of the council.

The Council consists of the heads of government or ministers of the member states. The Council convenes whenever a majority of member states and/or the Conference deems such necessary. All FICT decisions are made by the Council.

Chairpersons of FICT have been:
01. Ms. sSiôŋ Hau (DP)
00. 21 October 2011 - present
00. Mr. Lowok Aralangit (KA) transitional
00. 25 June 2011 - 21 October 2011
