The Order of Misfit Nations

IRC Channel: #misfitnations on Coldfront

Since the beginning of this world, there have been those who did not fit in with regular alliances. Some remained vagrants, wanderers of the world. Some sought refuge in the powers of the world, groups that would never fully accept them. Others sought to make their own path outside the roads of convention and expectation. They were the outcasts, the dispossessed, the misfits. Today, they have a new home; The Order of Misfit Nations.

I: Preamble

In a shared sense of individuality, uniqueness, and spirit, we Misfits hereby come together in common purpose and common principle. We are a home for all those who seek a fresh start. We are a shelter for those with no home. We are a friend to the lonely. We are an ally to the isolated. We are innovation to convention. We are The Order of Misfit Nations.

II: Admittance

Any nation who pledges to uphold the laws of The Order of Misfits will be accepted as a cadet granted the following holds true:

1) Said nation is not currently a member of another alliance.

2) Said nation is not involved in any active wars.

3) Said nation has submitted an application and has followed up on the application through the 72-120 hours of open questioning from the Peanut Gallery.

4) The Misfits at Large or the Ruling Council approves of the nations application.

Upon passing of the entrance exam a cadet is then granted membership into The Order of Misfits.

III: Structure

1) Ruling Council – The Ruling Council shall be made up of 5 Councilors and 1 Regent.

- Councilors have the final say on any affair involving the alliance as a whole, alliance affairs being handled with a majority vote. The Councilors can Declare War, Sign Treaties, Expel Members, Dismiss Misfits at Large, etc.

Each Councilor in turn runs a Department (Military, Banking, Foreign Affairs, and Internal Affairs) and he/she has the final say on any affair involving their respective Department. Councilors serve for life, until they resign, or until removed via no confidence vote by the remaining Ruling Council or the Misfits at Large.

- The Regent is the successor to the Councilors. His/Her function is work with the Councilors in the running of the Alliance, presiding over the Misfits at Large and can be called into voting on alliance affairs in the case of a split vote in the Misfits at Large. The Regent serves at the discretion of the Councilors.

2) Misfits at Large – The Misfits at Large are 4 elected members of the Peanut Gallery. These members assist in the running of the alliance, recruitment of members, and are responsible for approving members. A 3/4 vote of the Misfits at Large may bring any decision before the Ruling Council to a Vote of Advisement in the Peanut Gallery.

3) Department Heads – Department Heads are appointed by the Ruling Council to run any department the Council decides The Order of Misfits Requires. All appointments must be ratified by the Misfits at Large.

4) The Peanut Gallery – The Peanut Gallery is the general membership of Misfits. They are responsible for voting for the Misfits at Large, defending The Order of Misfits, voting in Votes of Advisement and working in the alliance’s departments.

IV: Elections

Elections are held every 2 months. Nominations are open for 72 hours prior to the polls. The polls are open for 72 hours starting the first day of the month.

V: Expulsion

Any Misfit may at any time call apon the alliance to expel a member by submitting to the Misfits at Large the reasons behind the expulsion. Unless the Misfits at Large come with a unanimous Vote of Pardon the member is tried before the Peanut Gallery. 48 hours after the summons to trial have been made, to allow time for a defense, voting will open for 72 hours. 3/4s of the alliance must vote in favor of expulsion for the member to be removed. The Ruling Council may pardon any member with a 3/5 vote.

VI: Amendments

3/4s vote of the alliance may bring any article in this charter up for review. Amendments to the Charter, however, must be made by the Ruling Council.

Signed on this day, November 21, 2009, by the first Ruling Council:

Callebaut - Foreign Affairs Councilor

MaskofBlue - Military Affairs Councilor

FiremanDave - Internal Affairs Councilor

The Corinthian - Internal Affairs Councilor

Frodark - Financial Affairs Councilor

This alliance stands in proud defiance of tradition. We do things our own way. We see the world not for what it is but for what it can be. We model ourselves not on the promise of power and glory but the paths less traveled towards friendship and acceptance. Though many among us come from troubled backgrounds, our home, what we have created here is not a platform from which to carry on vendettas of old or carry forward grudges from long ago but to create a new start in this world not only for ourselves but for anyone who seeks to change their trajectory across the political landscape.

We say to the world, send us your tired, your sick, your huddled masses. We are haven, we are port of call for all who seek it. We ask only you join us in defense of your fellow misfits and you too shall have a home where you are accepted for who and what you are. We are not here to mold you into a model citizen. We are not here to form you in our image. We are here as a land and shelter apart from the tempest.

Towards that end, Tetris and Viridian Entente have graciously agreed to shelter we Misfits.

Social Education

A Protectorate Agreement for the Order of Misfit Nations from the Viridian Entente and Tetris Alliances

tetris.pngve.pngtemp-3.png

Recognizing that The Order of Misfit Nations (henceforth "Misfits"), as their name suggests, are social misfits, who have left their old cliques and no longer have any friends to sit with at lunch, the Viridian Entente (henceforth "VE") and Tetris (henceforth..."Tetris") alliances do promise to charitably be Misfits' first new friends on Planet Bob. This legally binding treaty is like a birthday party invitation, a sign that VE and Tetris will make an effort to help establish the infantile Misfits in this big cyberverse.

Article I: Preamble

In order to promote early growth and to foster young friendships, VE and Tetris, as the protectors, and Misfits, as the protected, do henceforth agree to all articles and terms stated below, stipulating that Misfits be a protectorate of VE and Tetris until such a time that they may be declared independently sovereign.

Article II: Assistance and Aid

VE and Tetris agree to offer aid, both financial and martial, unilaterally to Misfits, should it be required. VE and Tetris agree to protect Misfits from all acts of aggression, provided Misfits did not directly provoke said animosity. VE and Tetris also reserve the right to assist Misfits in any aggressive action. Misfits, while not obligated, are hereby given legal justification assisting either VE or Tetris in any of their wars, either defensive or offensive.

Article III: Relevant Intelligence

If any signatory of this document obtains, infers, or otherwise discovers information which could be directly relevant to the well-being of any other signatory, said information must be relayed to all relevant signatories with due expedience.

Article IV: Sovereignty of Protected Alliance

VE and Tetris agree not to interfere in the structure or operations of Misfits, limiting themselves to advisory positions. VE and Tetris may not mandate any action or prohibit any action from Misfits. However, in exchange for protection, Misfits do agree to keep VE and Tetris informed of their general actions and intents, specifically notifying all signatories in advance of signing any new treaties.

Article V: Cessation and Cancellation

Should any signatory find this document unsuitable for any reason, and should there be no option of amendment or modification to resolve these issues, the signatory may withdraw from this agreement, given 24 hours notice to all other parties. The withdrawing signatory will be held under these terms for an additional 72 hours after publically stating their withdrawal. Furthermore, as stated in the Preamble, once all parties agree that Misfits is capable of complete independence in protection, this treaty shall be dissolved, at which point a new treaty may be used to replace the ties between these signatories.

A final thank you to those who have already contacted us to show their support. We are further grateful to Sparta and MK for their generous offers of support and help to us in our early days. We hope to see more of you soon in our public channel listed at the top of this announcement. Please stop by any time and join the lively conversation and pie eating usually taking place there.

We are the Misfits. We are unique. We are strong. We have our new home. See you there.

Does this mean you accept people in ZI lists? Because if so, NSO already did that.

Congratulations on your peaceful birth! If you wish to do away with such an aggressive treaty, I offer up my services to you! I do believe that words can dissuade just about anyone from committing such a vile and atrocious act upon you, and who better to dissuade them than I?

Though perhaps there are equally skilled pacifists within tetris and ve... that is something I had not thought of beforehand. Tell me, would you not rather have a peace and love treaty than this outwardly aggressive protectorate treaty?

Do I need more o/?

No, but you need to show these people your stylish sig.
Yay Us!

Thank you Tetris and VE, I hope you realize what you are in for :P

We're in for a good time. While simply residing on green sphere guarantees a degree of safety within the confines of my military-economical doctrine regarding safeguarding our economic sphere, a protectorate treaty is definately a stronger signal to the world at large.
