Masterchief777 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Greetings fellow dwellers of planet bob! The North Star Federation is proud to announce that we have successfully obtained a senate seat on brown and while color politics may be a thing of the past, we look to this with hope and optimism that brown is changing for the better. For close to 2 years(?) GATO has been the only presence on brown and the senate but now things are starting to change and NSF is making an impact on her home sphere. This senate seat is merely the beginning of a new and transformed brown, we hope to one day see more brown children alliances uniting together for the future of this sphere. I am also honored to present you with our "new" Charter and Government that I know is capable of leading this alliance towards greatness :) Emperor: Crv24 Regent: AstroGnomy Imperial Guard of Domestic Affairs: King Armen Imperial Guard of Defense: Joe Imperial Guard of Finance: UpstartCaesar Imperial Guard of Foreign Affairs: Poppa Clam [spoiler] Articles of Federation Preamble We, the nations of the North Star Federation, bound by our values of strength and determination, enter into a grand holy alliance that seeks peace and justice for all. It is with the ratification of this document that we hope to establish the basic laws and principles that shall govern our imperial federation. Article 1: Imperial Government Section A: The Emperor The Emperor is the supreme leader of the North Star Federation and has control over all alliance affairs, foreign and domestic. The Emperor serves for life, or until resignation or impeachment. Section B: Imperial GuardAn Imperial Guard is someone who is a head of department within the North Star Federation. They serve to assit the North Stars and the Emperor with the day to day maintaince of the alliance. Imperial Guards are appointed by the Emperor serve until resignation, impeachment or removal from office by the Emperor. Imperial Guard of Defense (IGD)The IGD commands the North Star Federations military. Promotes batalion signins and ensures that the alliance is always at peak military readiness. Maintains an active defense staff to help teach North Stars how to fight and defends the alliance against rogue attacks. Imperial Guard of Finance (IGF)The IGF is in charge of managing the North Star Bank and that all aid requests are proccessed. The IGoF is also the head of the Tech Corps, maintaining the North Star Federations flow of tech. Imperial Guard of Domestic Affairs (IGDA)The IGDA maintains the alliance as a whole and ensures that everything is running smoothly; Promotes recruitment and in command of the education department. The IGoDA is also responsible for effective alliance communication. Imperial Guard of Foreign Affairs (IGFA)The IGFA maintains communication with other alliances and manages the sending and receiving of diplomats. The IGFA is also in charge of setting the alliances foreign policy. Section C: ImpeachmentAny North Star can call an Impeachment vote against The Emperor or any member of the Imperial Guard. If the vote is against an Imperial Guard the Emperor reserves the right to veto it, however he can not veto a call for his own resignation. If there is a call for the Emperors resignation then the Imperial Guard must vote. A majority (3/4) must vote in favor of the motion before a vote amongst the North Stars is carried out whereby a 3/4 majority of the popular vote is needed for the motion to pass. Section D: Selection of a new EmperorIn the case of the Emperor resigning from his position his last act of his reign is to appoint his successor If the Emperor is impeached the Imperial Guard vote to determine the selection of a new Emperor. Article 2: North Stars Section A: MembershipNations wishing to join the North Star Federation must meet certain criteria before they can call themselves North Stars. If these are failed to be meet then they may be denied entrance into the alliance. - New recruits must submit an application on the forum.- Have alliance affiliation set to North Star Federation.- Must not be involved in any wars (foreign or domestic.)- Not an enemy of any other alliance. - Is on the Brown Sphere (exemptions for this term can be granted by the Emperor or the Imperial Guard of Domestic Affairs.)- Has Graduated from the North Star Academy (exemptions for this term can be granted by the Emperor or the Imperial Guard of Domestic Affairs.) Section B: ExpulsionCalls for a North Stars removal can be made by any member of the North Star Federation. Expulsion motions should be brought directly to either The Emperor or a member of the Imperial Guard. The imperial government will then vote to determine if the North Star should be removed. For the motion to pass it requires a 3/5 majority; The Emperor however reserves the right to veto any expulsion (unless there is a call for his impeachment.) Section C: Imperial PurgeThe Emperor can remove any North Star if they are deemed a threat to the overall security of the alliance. This power is unavailable if there is a call for the Emperors removal. If the purge is challenged by a current standing North Star then the Imperial Guard must hold a vote to determine if the purge is justified. Anytype of in-game cheating will result in an immediate Imperial Purge. Article 3: Military policy Section A: Military ServiceAll nations that have successfully entered into the halls of the North Star Federation are bound by duty to defend the alliance at all costs. Nations refusing to fight or dissert the alliance during times of war are subject to one time ZI.

Section B: Tech RaidingTech raiding is an explictly illegaly act. North Stars cannot attack any other nation without the express consent of The Emperor or the Imperial Guard of Defense. The Emperor can remove any member that is found guilty of tech raiding or instead of removal can set a monetary fine that will either be paid to the defending nation or to the North Star Bank. Section C: SpyingNorth Stars are deemed to be guilty of spying if there is a swapping or giving of sensitive information with a foreign entente North Stars found sharing information face an automatic Imperial Purge with a one time ZI sentence. Section D: Nuclear ArmisticeThe North Star Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in its defense but believes in a no-first strike policy. North Stars are not allowed to use nuclear weapons without the consent of the Emperor or the Imperial Guard of Defense. Article 4: AmendmentsAny North Star can call for an amendment to the charter, before the vote is cast among the North Stars, The Emperor and Imperial Guard vote to determine if the amendment is frivolous or not. If the majority vote in favor the North Stars vote to determine if the amendment gets added to the charter. 3/4 majority of the popular vote is needed for the amendment to pass.[/spoiler] Edited July 9, 2013 by Masterchief777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suleiman Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 People care about the senate? NSO sure did when it was founded, but this was almost four years ago. Back then, it was a choice between either Brown or Yellow, because it was by-far the easiest to get Senate seats in those color spheres. Few alliances, little opposition. Why not?

Why not?NSO was founded over four years ago, actually. Though I'm not sure why you'd bring up from four years ago to argue that the senate is still relevant today.

Though I'm not sure why you'd bring up from four years ago to argue that the senate is still relevant today. I realized it was over four after I posted. My bad. The Senate was never really relevant to begin with. It's just...there. Why I bring up NSO? Well, because it was a Brown Team and Senate was supposedly an important strategy for them too. The scheme of things isn't important, just the connection seemed a little funny to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, congrats. :awesome: o/ NSF meh merely poking fun at our old timer allies, I don't think their sometimes called"NPOing" of the brown sphere was intentional, merely a product of natural events (alliances getting the hell off of brown because its terrible.)
