The Saint Lawrence League is a confederation of city-states and municipalities established in the Canadian Special Administrative Territory, following the downfall of Faraway.

A confederation in the truest sense, each of the city states and municipalities (collectively called the Confederate Nations) in fully autonomous, only foreign affairs and defence are controlled by the Lawrencite central government.

They have the power of veto over any legislation and can also veto each other (to force compromise). They are the only people who can convene a plebiscite.

Secretariats:

Foreign Affairs

Internal Affairs

Defence

Economics

- The Secretariats are the bureaucratic organs of the League. Responsible for the actual running of the state, the secretariats employ hundreds of public servants and are autonomous to an extent. While policy is decided on by the Secretarial Committees (aka “Triumvirates”) and the Co-Presidency, the Secretariats professional bureaucrats are responsible for the actual carrying out of policy.

Legislature: Saint Lawrence League Congress

- 80 Delegates: 2 per municipality, 4 per city-state, 6 for the leading city

- The Congress is the legislative body of the League. They vote on all legislation and publicly debate policy. They have the power to overturn any Presidential executive order through a simple majority vote and can force the Co-Presidents to convene a plebiscite.

8. Every man is presumed innocent until declared guilty.

9. No one is to be tried and punished until after having been heard or legally summoned, and except by virtue of a law promulgated prior to the offense. A law that would punish offenses committed before it existed would be tyranny; the retroactive effect of such a law would be a crime.

13. No one may be deprived of the least portion of his property without his consent, unless a legally established public necessity requires it, and upon condition of a just and previous indemnity.

14. Public relief is a sacred obligation. Society owes subsistence to unfortunate citizens, either by procuring work for or by providing the means of existence for those unable to work.

15. Education is necessary for everyone. Society must promote with all its power the advancement of public reason, and must place education within reach of all citizens.

16. A people always has the right to review, reform, and amend its constitution. One generation may not subject future generations to its laws.

18. The right of presenting petitions to the public authority may not be forbidden, suspended, or limited under any circumstances.

19. Resistance to oppression is the consequence of the other rights of man.

20. There is oppression against the social body when a single one of its members is oppressed. There is oppression against every member when the social body is oppressed.

21. When the government violates the rights of the people, insurrection is for the people, and for every portion thereof, the most sacred of rights and the most indispensable of duties.

Military Overview

The League’s permanent military structure consists entirely of; the Command, Aerial Corps, and the National Guard of each Confederate Nation. Whenever it is necessary, the Co-Presidency initiates a draft. At the age of 18, all property owning citizens are required to be eligible to serve for 10 years in either the Maritime or Terrestrial Corps. They may also choose to become professionals and join the Aerial Corps. Weapons and equipment are stored, ready for use, along with artillery and armoured vehicles. Training exercises are run year round to keep the possible draftees in fighting condition, and ensure the newest generation of draftees are capable combatants. There are also training programs for a wide array of role required by the military.

[Aggressivenutmeg]

 

The Terrestrial Corps

 

This is the boots-on-the-ground warfare force. They are a part-time force, only called up when need be. They use armoured vehicles, artillery and infantry to great effect. Unlike other nations, the St. Lawrence Terrestrial Corps has absolutely no air power. They work in conjunction with the professional Aerial Corps for all of their aviation needs. Currently, the draft is able to raise up to 110,430 people (20+ divisions) capable of fighting, however, it is rare that all available militiamen would be called.

 

Each of these divisions is subdivided into 10 chief tactical units called battalions. A battalion consists of 6 companies and was commanded by a major (the companies are commanded by captains). Each company of infantry consisted of 80 men. Each company is, in turn, divided into ten sections of eight men. These 4800 men (ten battalions of 480 men), together with about 1200 men (divided into 10 battalions of 120 men) serving in armour vehicles and artillery gives the division a nominal strength of about 6000 men.

 

Each division is also assigned a number of veteran battalions. There is no definite number, and each battalion moves from division to division as necessary. Veteran battalions are comprised of experienced individuals who have participated in a number of conflicts. These veteran battalions are responsible for reconnaissance, skirmishing and limited special operations including air assault and other aspects of unconventional warfare.

The Maritime Corps

The Maritime Corps is responsible for maintaining the security of St. Lawrence’s waterways and territorial waters. A conscripted, part-time, volunteer force, much like the Terrestrial Corps, the Maritime Corps has several crews for each of it’s vessels, and rotate them throughout the year. The vast majority of it’s vessels are river patrol boats, designed to maintain control of the St. Lawrence River. There are currently three ships under construction, expected to launch within two years. There are two corvettes under construction in Quebec City, alongside an Amphibious Assault Ship.
