To honor the re-awakening of this awesome creature, a new alliance is formed. This alliance, this group of nations, is, like the Dragon, down right awesome. To that end, the new alliance shall be known as Down Right Awesome Group of Nations Signed into Existence: Founder and Momma Dragon - Abdur Minister of Commerce - Thissstupid Minister of Dragon Control - NORAD Minister of Enrollment - Fallen Minister of Fire - Valashi Minister of Public Relations - UncleEoin Minister of Roaring - TobiasVonEhrenfeld Diplomatic Minister - Abe Xedinski Director of Development - ColorGuardChick4 Members of the Dragon Council: DeadflyProductions Hunablazer Outburst Lukcia Ombudsman: Proximus Please stop by and visit us on IRC at #DRAGON or signup on our Forums. http://s1.zetaboards.com/DRAGONS [quote]Down Right Awesome Group Of Nations Charter Article 1. Mission Statement The goal of the Down Right Awesome Group Of Nations (DRAGON) is to create an enjoyable community where every member is seen as an important key to making the DRAGON a comfortable and functional family. No member's opinion will be treated with greater or lesser importance than another's. All members will be allowed to speak their mind, but must do so in a kind and respectful manner that does not hinder or belittle another member's opinion. Article 2. Rights Statement Every member of the DRAGON has the following rights: 1. Express their ideas and opinions in a respectful manner with fellow members, provided that the exercise of this right does not encroach with the rights of other members. 2. Implore respect and attention to their idea or opinion, provided they do so in a respectful and polite manner. 3. Participate in elections of the DRAGON government and leaders. 4. Leave the alliance in a respectful manner. Article 3. The Government Article 3.1 Founder The Founder of the alliance will oversee all operations of the government and government officials. He is the military commander and all battle plans will go through him. He may not make any decision that will ultimately create a state of war, nor may he enter the DRAGON into a foreign agreement without the approval of all of the cabinet and Tribunal. The Founder may veto any attempt by the Tribunal to remove a minister. He is the creator of the alliance, and will always be the Founder, unless removed by the government and membership, where two thirds (Approx. 66.6%) of the voting population (government and membership combined) agree to replace the founder and who will replace him. The Founder after the first will be called the Primary founder, then followed by the Secondary founder, then the Tertiary founder, et cetera. Although the name of each founder differs, the power and responsibility does not. There can never be more than one founder in power at one time. Article 3.2 Tribunal The Tribunal will consist of four permanent members and one elected member (ombudsman). The Ombudsman will be elected every three (3) months by the DRAGON membership. The Tribunes are all equal in power to each other. The permanent Tribunal members will be elected prior to the Declaration of Existence. They will monitor the decisions of the founder and the ministers. The Tribunal may remove a minister with a majority vote. Any member of the Tribunal may run for another government position, but if that position has been successfully won, then they must give up their Tribunal position. Three fourths (75%) of the remaining Tribunal must agree on who to elect as the next Tribune. Article 3.3 Cabinet The cabinet consists of six (6) ministries: Commerce, Dragon Control, Enrollment, Fire, Public Relations, and Roaring. Each position is elected by the DRAGON membership by a majority (>50%). In addition, each term will last three (3) months. Each Minister may appoint a Senior and a Junior Deputy. The Deputies report and take orders from their respective Minister. Every Minister has his/her own responsibilities that are as follows but not limited to: Article 3.3.1 Minister of Commerce - Organizes Tech Deals - Collects and records the financial history of the DRAGON - Maintains and distributes Aid - Keeps track of Banks Article 3.3.2 Minister of Dragon Control - Regulates Application Requests - Moderates the Forum - Guides the membership of the DRAGON Article 3.3.3 Minister of Enrollment - Educates the membership of the DRAGON on recruiting - Recruits and gathers a recruitment team Article 3.3.4 Minister of Fire - Organizes and segregates divisions - Creates and Executes Battle Plans - Settles Rouge Issues Article 3.3.5 Minister of Public Relations - Regulates diplomats - Maintains diplomatic relations Article 3.3.6 Minister of Roaring - Posts on the Open World Forum - Mass Messages - Maintains Forums and IRC Article 3.4 Directors Sub Ministers are members of the cabinet that do not hold as much power as other ministers, but are designated their own names. This power is equal to a Senior Deputy. The only difference is that every SubMinister has their own responsibilities, but does not have to report to a certain Minister, but rather the cabinet as a whole. These positions are appointed by a consensus made by the cabinet. Every SubMinister has his/her own responsibilities that are as follows: Article 3.4.1 Director of Hatchlings - Educates recruits - Maintains the Nest Article 3.4.2 Director of Development - Organizes requests for Trade Circles Article 3.4.3 Diplomatic Director - Gathers the reports made by the DRAGON Diplomats - Creates a master report based on the information retrieved by the DRAGON Diplomats Article 3.5 Government Resignation In the unfortunate event where a member of the government must step down, or resign in the middle of their term, they must give a 24 hour notice and a suggestion for they replacement. These suggestions must be given to the Tribunal, who make the ultimate decision of who will replace the resigning government member. Article 3.6 Forced Resignation Any member who wishes to force resignation upon a government member must inform the current founder. The Founder must then bring the issue up to entire government, including the one who is being asked to resign. The government will discuss the issue in private, and will maintain the anonymity of the member who wishes for a resignation. To force a resignation, all of the government but one must agree to do so. Article 3.7 Elections Elections will be announced on the Forum at least one (1) week [seven (7) days] prior to their opening. During this time, candidates may express their desire to run for office. Voting will begin on the announced day and close no less than forty eight (48) hours and no more than seventy two (72) hours after opening. Voting will be in the form of Forum Poll. If a minister runs unopposed during the elections, they will take office at the same time as the other ministers. In the event of a tie in voting or a dispute in the elections, the Tribunal shall determine the outcome and this decision will be final. The Ministers will be replaced no more than twelve (12) hours after the poll's closing, excusing the case of a tie. The Minister position in question (as well as the other Minister Positions) will be replaced once the Tribunal have finished making their decisions. Article 4. Membership Article 4.1 Applicant Requirements Becoming a member of the DRAGON requires certain standards that one must meet. To join the DRAGON, a new applicant must be the following: 1.

The Nest curriculum will be decieded by the Director of Hatchlings, but must be approved by the government as a whole. The new applicant will be tested on their knowledge of the curriculum. The test will be graded by the Director of Hatchlings or his/her associates.

The new member may also receive three (3) million dollars for registering and visiting IRC at least once every two (2) days, for a week. In the unfortunate case that an applicant fails their test, will be given twenty-four (24) hours until they can retake the test.

Article 4.2.3 Skipping the Nest Any member who wishes to skip the Nest, must have permission to do so by the Director of Hatchlings.

Uralica Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I think this is the longest true acronym I've seen in CN (Linguistic geek definition: an acronym is an abbreviaton derived from the first letter of several words, that can be pronounced as a single word. 5 CN Examples: GATO, NATO, TOOL, RIA, DRAGON) Anyway, good luck with this venture. TFD (not an acronym but an alphabetism/initialism ) are awesome peeps and should make most excellent protectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
