The Dragon Bloc Constitution
Sometimes referred to in this document as "the bloc"
(This is not a merger. All parties are required to act independently in the event of war although organized under the structure and guidance of the Military Governor. All states retain their recognized borders and identities. In essence, this is an intense co-operation coalition.)

1. Signatories of this bloc agree to represent themselves in the Bloc Government.
2. The signatories of this bloc agree to pay taxes from their budget to the bloc's central authority in order to fund its activities.
3. The signatories of this bloc retain all domestic sovereignty, but grant the Governor of Diplomatic Activity full authority to negotiate foreign affairs on their behalf, and on behalf of the bloc.
4. Signatories of this bloc will be given a seat on the "Council of Governors" and each Governor will be assigned a role related to Bloc activities.
5. Signatories of this bloc give full military authority to the Governor of Military Affairs.
6. Signatories of this bloc will share technology amongst themselves. (Using the appropriate tech sharing rules.)
7. Chairman of the Council of Governors will be Dragonisian Chairman and representative Maelstrom Vortex. A successor will be elected  by the council of governors to serve as Vice-Chair once the Council of Governors is populated. The person holding the position of Chairman may be impeached by a 3/4 majority once appointed. Impeachment will result in new and immediate elections to replace the Chairman of the Bloc. Being the Chairman of the bloc is normally a life term unless impeached.
8. All intelligence agencies of the Signatories of the Bloc will be united under the control and full authority of the Governor of Intelligence Activities.
9. Signatories will unify infrastructure development and economic control activities under the appropriate governors sitting on the Council. 
10. Signatories will ALWAYS participate in wars of aggression or defense when it is chosen by the Chairman to take such action, the Chairman will always consider the will of the Council of Governors in his activities and may be over-ruled by a 2/3rds majority vote of the council. The Chairman MUST approve any action that may be perceived as an act of war by any nation. The Chairman may also be compelled to declare war also by a 2/3rds majority vote.
11. Signatories will unify their defensive networks, including all sensory nets and unify them under the Governor of Military Affairs.
12. An attack on one signatory is interpreted as an attack on all regardless as to its nature or method of occurrence.
13. A signatory may leave the bloc with 48 hours notice, but if it is done during a period of war, would be considered an act of desertion and may sustain severe penalties enacted by the Council of Governors.
14. Inter membership conflicts will be mediated by the Governing council.. all of its decisions will be final.
15. Decisions by the Governing Council are always done by basic 2/3rds majority for approval.
16. Filibusters are not permitted on the Governing Council. Failure to vote within a 120 hour period on a particular issue results in an automatic abstain vote.
17. All members grant free trade, freedom of movement of military, freedom of air transit, freedom of ground transit, freedom of naval transit under their respective local laws to the other signatories of this bloc.
18. The Chairman will assign initial roles to signatories/Governors, but the Council may later vote to allow Governors to change roles. In an emergency situation where a role has not been filled, the Chairman is granted the powers to make emergency appointments to later be addressed by the Council.
19. All other powers not assigned in this document are to be assumed to be possessed by the Chairman until illustrated and outlined otherwise by new revisions to this constitution.
20. All existing treaties held by the states may still be observed by those states, however, the bloc reserves the right to ask the signatory to renegotiate or disband a particular treaty if it appears in conflict with Bloc interests.
21. All signatories who are memberships of other alliances and blocs should ask the Diplomatic Governor how they should vote within their respective alliances prior to placing their votes to ensure the manifestation of Bloc Unity on the matter of Global Affairs. If the will of the Signatory is at contrast to the bloc, at the worst the Signatory should abstain from voting.
22. The admission of new members to the bloc will be considered by the Council. Majority approval is required. The only exception is the first month after this charter is declared during which the Chairman will be responsible for accepting and recognizing new member states.
23. Signatories will never war with existing signatories.

26. All Bloc members will be responsible for implementing the rulings of the Bloc using their nation's Sovereignty.
