James Wilson Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) [center][img]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/Stagger_Lee33/Empireflag.png[/img] It is my pleasure to announce on behalf of the IAA our new Charter and government.[/center] Charter: [center][quote]Preamble The Imperial Assault Alliance (IAA) is an alliance dedicated to the fundamental qualities of security, safety, prosperity, and camaraderie. Founded in earnest and in good faith, we hereby solemnly dedicate this Charter to the continuation of our ideals and sovereignty. The Empire does hereby reserve the right to take diplomatic or martial action in any sort of situation that arises, whether the situation is foreign or domestic, that we feel infringes upon the sovereignty, freedom, or rights of others, and whose aforementioned sovereignty, freedom, and rights we deem necessary or correct to defend. Article I: Structure of the Alliance A. The Imperial Senate When a nation is accepted into the Imperial Assault Alliance, that member nation obtains the title of Imperial Senator where they automatically have a seat in the Imperial Senate. Senators will be responsible for participating in, serving and defending the Empire. The rights of the Senate shall be detailed in "Basic Rights of the Imperial Senate". These rights cannot be removed by any legislation. B. The Imperial Government The Imperial Government is made up of His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor, and his Imperial Ruling Council: the Grand Vizier, the Imperial Regent, the Grand Admiral, the Grand Moff, and the Imperial Exchequer and their respective deputies serve as lesser-ranking members of the Council. The Grand Vizier shall be responsible for the day to operations of the Empire and shall oversee the Empire in the Emperor's name. The Imperial Regent is head of foreign affairs for the alliance. The Grand Admiral is in charge of the Imperial Military. The Grand Moff is in charge of the internal affairs of the alliance. The Imperial Exchequer is in charge of the economics of the alliance. Individual government member's responsibility shall be detailed in "The Responsibilities of the Imperial Government". This document can be changed to suit the evolving needs of the Empire, at the discretion of the Imperial Ruling Council. Article II: The Imperial Government His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor - The sovereign Head of State of the Imperial Assault Alliance, His Majesty the Emperor is the living incarnation of the Empire and all that it stands for. The Emperor can at his or her discretion issue executive orders, granting pardons during judiciary proceedings that can only be overturned by a majority vote of the Ruling Council, expulsion of members, etc. The Emperor shall however under normal circumstances allow the Grand Vizier to oversee the operation of the Empire. Should the Emperor be deemed unable to execute his duties properly for any reason, he may be removed by a majority vote of the Ruling Council, as well as a 66%+1 majority vote by the Imperial Senate. It would then be the responsibly of the Ruling Council to nominate a new Emperor for the approval of the Imperial Senate. The Grand Vizier. The Grand Vizier shall maintain order and authority over all aspects of the Imperial Ruling Council and the Empire. And shall exercise all the powers reserved for the Emperor unless the Emperor decides otherwise. The Grand Vizier is the official representative and interpreter of the Imperial Charter and of the Imperial Senate. And thus shall be elected by the Senate every six months and shall serve in that position. If they resign, or are removed by the Senate, the next most senior government member shall exercise the powers of the Grand Vizier until a new Grand Vizier is elected. If they are removed by the Emperor, his Imperial Majesty shall appoint a new Grand Vizier who will serve until a new one is elected. New elections shall be held within one week of the position going vacant. And no sooner than 48 hours to give the Imperial Senate time to consider and debate. The Imperial Ruling Council - All Imperial Ruling Council members are appointed and fired by the Grand Vizier at his or her discretion, and each individual member of the Ruling Council retains the right to the same privilege over his own deputies. All appointed IRC members must be approved by the senate with a 51% majority. In addition, all Ruling Council members, except for the Grand Vizier, have one official deputy per Council member. Article III: Additions to the Charter Charter Amendments may be proposed by any member, at any time. The Grand Moff or the highest active government officer available shall post it for a vote of the Imperial Senate in the Convocation Chambers, a vote to last 48 hours. The amendment passes if it garners a 66%+1 majority in favor.[/quote][/center] Our New Government: [center][b]Emperor:[/b] Chimaera [b]Grand Vizier:[/b] James Wilson [b]Imperial Regent:[/b] Grundig (aka Taget) [b]Grand Admiral:[/b] RepublicLoyaltist [b]Grand Moff:[/b] Serjjery [b]Imperial Exchequer:[/b] (Position Suspended)[/center] Any questions/concerns/or general blabble can be answered or held in #IAA as usual.

Why isn't James Wilson Emperor? Oh wait, I know. This is part of an experiment to see if IAA's government can handle itself without their Emperor. I got ya.

KahlanRahl Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Another one? Jeez... That's a mighty short charter. So James. You've essentially made yourself the ruler of IAA? Interesting... Chimaera has reduced himself to a literal figurehead. GG. You also spelled "Vizier" wrong.
