Frequently Asked Questions
à back to main page

"I have designed this large interstellar space empire and I love your project. Can I please join FICT?"
- No, sadly you can't. As much as we might love your creation once we've seen it, FICT is only for countries designed to be located on our earth with its technology of today. FICT member states are not so technologically advanced that they can communicate with alien worlds, so that would slightly complicate a thorough interaction between FICT and your empire.

"My country is very mysterious; all that is known about it, is its name. Can it become a FICT member?"
- No, that's not possible. There is a minimal amount of information that the other participants of the FICT project have to know about your country to make it function properly in the project. This applies on the fictional level as well: although there are countries on earth that are somewhat isolated, a lot more is known about those countries than only their names. So you'll have to come with more information. By the way: if your country wishes to remain very mysterious, joining an international organisation like FICT wouldn't be a very wise move, would it?

"If my country joins FICT, I will send you updates every week in its beautiful state of the art language. You'll get a sound file for that, as question and exclamation marks in this language cannot be written, but must be expressed by low repetitive guttural sounds, the exact pattern of which changes with each day of the week."
 - That's completely fine by us, as long as you provide us with a translation in English as well.

"If my country joins FICT, can the countries of my friends join as well?"
- In theory that's possible, but the existing participants / member states will decide on each separate candidature, so it could happen that you and two of your friends' countries are able to join, but another cannot. As long as the requirements of member states and participants (see the Rules on the left) are fulfilled with each country, there shouldn't be a problem.
