III. Membership Rights
A. Every nation in The Order Of Light has the right to free speech. All nations can speak freely about what they think is right and what they think is wrong. The only people that can stop this are the Council of TOOL. They have the right to edit any posts or tell people not to post in certain areas or regarding certain topics. Other than that, every nation has the ability to speak their mind on both the CN forum and the The Order Of Light forum.
B. Any nation can leave at any time they wish. To leave, a nation must post in the appropriate section of the forums and change their alliance affiliation to not have "The Order Of Light" within.
C. If a nation that has left, wants to rejoin, the Council will vote on whether this nation will be able to come back or not. If the nation has been there once, they will need 51% majority. If they have left two times previously, they will need a 76% majority to join back in.
D. The Lord Captain or Hand of Light are the only members of TOOL who have permission to accept membership, and have the right to bypass voting procedures.

IV. Government
A. The government will consist of the following:
1. Lord Captain - Responsible for running the alliance. He/she will be in charge of reviewing applicants as well as signing everything that happens(i.e. DoW or treaties). They will be also responsible for making sure the other ministers are doing their jobs. The Lord Captain will appoint the hands, as many as he/she sees fit.
2. Hand of the Light - The Hand is the Second-in command and will serve as long as he/she or the Lord Captain sees fit. The Lord Captain will appoint hands, as many as up to three. The Hands can be demoted at any time and do not require an election, but the Lord Captain can make an election if he/she sees fit. The Hands will help with the overall running of TOOL and hold authority over the rest of the council except the Lord Captain.
3. Inquisitors – There will always be 3 Inquisitors within TOOL. These are hand picked by the Lord Captain and shall act with his voice and hand in aspects of renegade wars, emergency diplomatic action and the policing of TOOL members internally. Inquisitors due to their intimate knowledge of workings of TOOL will hold a seat in Council. They will be in charge of getting the troops ready in time of war as well as sending diplomats across the world.
4. Diplomatic Corps General – Hand chosen by the Lord Captain. The DC General shall conduct the foreign relations aspect of The Order Of Light. He/she will be responsible for making all members aware of everything going on.
5. Council - The Council will be made up of six publicly elected members who will be elected once a month. Further to this, Inquisitors, Hand(s) of Light and the DC General will sit in on council. The Council will vote on all wars, treaties and any other matter of interest.
- 5.1 All publicly elected councilors will hold office for a month. There will be an election at the end of each month for all of these office members.
B. The Lord Captain will serve for life. This can be changed if the Lord Captain decides to step down. If so, the previous Lord Captain can appoint someone else into his/her spot or can call for an election for the next Lord Captain.
C. If someone is put up for impeachment, they will have to have a majority of 75% +1 of all TOOL members to impeach them from office. An immediate election will follow for that position. The next person will only hold office the rest of the time that the other councilor had left.

V. War
Global;
A Declaration of War(DoW) will be decided by a majority of 50% +1 vote of the Council. If the Council decides to declare war, every member should and will be compelled to help out. There will be orders given out over what to do in such a time.
Individual;
If a nation of The Order Of Light is attacked by another nation outside of widespread conflict, they are free to defend themselves against that attacker. If the nation attacking the TOOL member is in an alliance, we will talk to that other alliance immediately and work out the situation. If the nation attacking is not aligned, they will be punished for attacking us.
The Inquisitors have the decision over what to do with the nation attacked. This can be anywhere from Zero Infrastructure(ZI), demanding reparations or attacking until the nation surrenders.
No nation in TOOL may attack another nation without approval from an Inquisitor, a Hand of Light or from the Lord Captain personally.
---
V. Expulsion
Any nation of TOOL that is found to have broken the charter can be held for expulsion. The nation will undergo a trial and the Council will collect information. The Council will then need a 75% +1 to remove the nation from TOOL.
Any member may be put up for expulsion for acts against the well being of TOOL. For this a poll in the general populace area of The Order Of Light forums will decide the member’s faith.

VII. Amendments to the Charter
This charter is subject to change at any time. This will happen with a 75% +1 vote from the Council.
