baseballer790 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) **Original Post by Nintenderek** Remember this moment my friend. You are about to read what might, and should become a historic occasion. Republican Organization For Liberty is our name and lots of ROFLs is our game. Here's our flag. Before anyone asks, not we are NOT gay although we do allow gay rights. The Yellow at the top represents our past, the gray in the background represents our future since the future is always unknown. The rainbow represents our team color. We are a multicolor alliance with the beliefs of Peace and Liberty as our main fundamentals. We will defend ourselves as necessary, but we will always but diplomacy ahead of war. We will sign treatys with almost any alliance. We just want to exist peacefully on Planet Bob with all of our CN friends and family, because CN is in my opinion, one of the best online communities out there. Now for the important stuff. Our charter. Republican Organization For LibertyThe people of the Republic Organization For Liberty recognize that peace and democracy are 2 vital elements of what may make an alliance great and on this day hereby declare ourselves as an alliance open to all regardless of team color. This charter is our rules and doctrine and will be followed at all times. Article I. 1. Admission Nations wishing to join the Republican Organization for Liberty must fill out an application to the Republican Organization for Liberty including the following: Leader Name: Nation Name: Nation Strength: Past Alliances: How do you plan to help ROFL?: How do you expect ROFL to help you?: They must also agree to the ROFL oath I ___________ of the nation ________ hereby swear my allegiance to ROFL, to protect the alliance and protect the charter. I have read through the charter of ROFL and would give my nation to help protect it. The government of Republican Organization For Liberty may change this form to fill the changing needs of the application process. 2. Expulsion A member nation may be expelled from the Republican Organization for Liberty at any time at the discretion of the President, Vice President,. The Senate may override the expulsion of a member by a 4/5 majority vote. Reasons for expulsion may include but are not limited to espionage, rogue attacks, membership in multiple alliances, the unauthorized use of nuclear weapons, and in subornation to a superior officer. Article II. Government Structure 1. General Membership The General Membership of ROFL is composed of the signatory nations of this charter.
