iKronos Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 After slowly working on everything the past few weeks, and getting the Protectorate set up, I am happy to announce our existence. We are The Sword of Olympia (TSoO) and from this day on, now officially exist! (I know the name may be a little corny but yea!)

If a female is to assume this position, then she has the power to rename "King" to "Queen" while she rules. Section. 1.9. Should the King face unknown circumstances and completely disappear from contact with alliance membership, the Right Hand shall be considered for assumption of leadership of the alliance, as King. In this instance, the Right Hand must be approved, for the throne by the Marshals. During the approval voting, the Right Hand may not have a vote. Should voting reach a deadlock, a direct vote, by the general membership, shall determine if the Right Hand is approved for the throne. During a direct vote, the Right Hand will be allowed to vote in the approval voting. Right Hand ascension voting period shall take 5 days and will be organized by the marshals, excluding the Right Hand. Section. 1.10. Should the Right Hand not be approved for the throne, a separate candidate may be chosen from amongst the Marshals. In this instance, the candidate must be approved, for the throne by majority vote of the Marshals. During the approval voting, the candidate may not have a vote. Should voting reach a deadlock, a direct vote, by the general membership, shall determine if the candidate is approved for the throne. During a direct vote, the candidate will be allowed to vote in the approval voting. Candidate ascension voting period shall take 5 days and be organized by the marshals, excluding the Right Hand. Section. 2. Right Hand Section. 2.1. The Right Hand acts as the leader of all Marshals and as Second in Command to the King. Section. 2.2. The Right Hand is appointed and dismissed by the King. The Right Hand is highly motivated and/or possessing extensive alliance experience. Section. 2.3. The Right Hand makes decisions if the King is absent less than 15 days, but more than 5 days from his/her post. Section. 2.4. The Right Hand has authority over Marshals and general membership. Section. 2.5. In the absence of the King, the Right Hand has authority to make any, and all, decisions necessary for the proper operation of the alliance. Section. 2.6. In the absence of the King, the Right Hand, with separate majority votes from all Marshals can declare war and peace with other alliances. The King must have been absent for more than 24 consecutive hours in order to declare war and peace, however, armies may be put on alert or order to cease-fire, by the Right Hand, at any time prior to a full 24 consecutive hours of vacancy. Section. 3. Marshals Section. 3.1. Rulers are appointed to this position and subsequently dismissed from this position by the King at will. Section. 3.2.

Section. 3.5. Marshals have the authority to suspend a member while under investigation.

Section. 3.6. Deputy Marshal - any Marshal position can be assigned to a Deputy by a Marshal, the Right Hand, or the King to fill a specific task or to just learn the role within the alliance. The Deputy Marshal positions are for training purposes only, but allow for any member to be involved in a government position to help with alliance tasks. Section. 3.7. Marshals have the authority to remove the King with unanimous Marshal vote as well as majority vote of the alliance membership. All votes to be conducted by public poll of no less than five days in the forums for Marshal members and a separate public poll for five days for members. Such a poll can only be conducted once every three months. An explanation for why the King needs to be removed is required in both poles. During the formal challenge to the King’s authority, the King will have no authority - the Right Hand and Marshals will rule by majority vote with the Right Hand acting as the temporary leader of TSoO. Article. II. Section. 1. Marshals are the first level of legislation in TSoO. Marshals shall discuss among themselves any changes or ideas coming from the base members. Section. 2. Once a decision has been reached by Marshals through majority vote and approval, they shall elevate the idea and then then take up the idea. The Right Hand has an equal voting share with the other Marshals and votes on all issues simultaneously. Once the Marshals have approved through majority vote and approval, the Right Hand shall present the idea to the King for final decision and implementation. Of course, the King can initiate change by presenting an idea to the Marshals for their deliberations and decision by majority vote. Although the King has authority over the alliance, the King cannot unilaterally make changes to the Charter without majority voting from both the body of Marshals. Section. 3. Any laws, treaties, or policy changes posited, Marshals or King, that are found to be intrinsically inconsistent or contrary to the laws established in this charter, are to hold no legal bearing in TSoO. General members are not bound by inconsistent law and may challenge the basis of any law and attempt to have it overturned on grounds of inconsistency or contrariness with the charter of TSoO. To do this, they are to bring the challenge to the King. Members cannot be expelled for doing such. Article III. Section. 1. New Nations will provide the following information: 1. Nation Name: 2. Ruler Name: 3. Link to nation: 4. Past Alliances: 5. Recruited By: 6. Are you currently at war? All new members will complete the entrance requirements as outlined in the forums. Entrance requirements can be waived or modified at will by the King. Any member not successfully completing the entrance requirements has the opportunity to review their results and try again as many times as the applicant wishes. Section. 2. Inactivity is defined as a ruler who is no longer putting any effort into the Kingdom, his/her position within the Kingdom, and/or their respective CyberNation, for a consecutive period of 15 days. Exceptions can be made if the ruler has given prior notification via a public announcement explaining a planned inactive period, such as vacation, long term jobs (Overseas, acting, world travels), and/or real life ordeals. Private messages to other rulers don't count - it has to be a public announcement and posted prior to the inactive period. Otherwise, any ruler deemed inactive gives up their rights to any position they held in the Kingdom, which includes the King, as well as all other positions in the alliance. Inactivity is considered one of the highest offenses and is punishable by expulsion from the Kingdom at the discretion of the King. Section. 3. Examples of inactivity include, but are not limited to, the following: Not performing their appointed duties in the Kingdom for a period greater than 15 consecutive days. Not logging into the forums for a period greater than 15 consecutive days. Section. 4. "Titan" is a Noble title to hold in TSoO.
