These 3 nations may veto any ICN general assembly or security council resolutions for any reason.

The ICN maintains a headquarters in Juneau, Cascadia, which serves as the central hub for its activities. Various specialized agencies, committees, and working groups are established within the organization to focus on specific areas of concern. These bodies work collaboratively to analyze global challenges, propose solutions, and implement policies to address them.
