Zakarov Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) The Alliance of Jericho was established on October 10, 2008 as a union of nations bound together to freely express their ideas and to create a government and an organization that can better the world. Jericho has evolved into a professional and mature alliance that takes its membership and their opinions seriously. The small alliance and friendly atmosphere of Jericho is a great alternative to the larger alliances with their hussle 'n bussle culture. Jericho offers a great opportunity for people to make new friendships while also offering the channels in which you can build a career in politics or in the military. JERICHO FORUMS We back all our members, no matter their demographic, with aid, defense, and attention. At Jericho you will be able to speak to the government directly, and have a large say in the way things are done in the alliance, no complicated forums, no giant network of IRC channels - just simple and effective with you, the member, as our top priority and concern. PreambleWe join together to found this organization, Jericho, a party that is united in its belief in equality, freedom from all forms of exploitation and oppression, and the protection of all natural rights. We seek to establish a better organization with the intent of furthering what is right in the world, with this we establish the Alliance of Jericho. Article I The constitution established the Emperor of Jericho, a figurehead position in which is to act as head of state for Jericho and as the chief executive administrator for the civilian government. The Emperor is to serve for life until resignation or impeachment by the Jerichoian Assembly. In the event of resignation, the Emperor is to name a successor to the throne who will take administrative duties immediately upon the abdication of the Emperor. In the event of an impeachment, the Jerichoian Assembly is to select a successor to the throne who will assume the administration duties immediately upon the impeachment of the Emperor. Retired emperors are to assume the title Emperor Emeritus. The Emperor is to oversee sessions and votes of the Jerichoian Assembly, but to act as a non-voting observer.

The Emperor may also issue decrees upon the conduct of the Council of Ministers and the organization of their ministries. In addition to the chief administration of the Council of Ministers, the Emperor is also given the responsibility of appointing the executives to the Council of Ministers and overseeing their operations. On the international stage, the Emperor is to act as the chief ambassador and representative of Jericho in international negotiations. The Emperor holds the ability to delegate his or her representation as well as his or her powers in the alliance. Article II The Council of Ministers is comprised of the appointed cabinet officials of the Emperor. The ministers appointed to this council are to administrate their assigned ministries and to operate them as they see fit. The ministers are also delegated the authority of appointing their own deputies and organizing their own command structure in their ministry. The Emperor is to designate five officials upon his ascension to the throne: • General Secretary, administrator to the Council of Ministers and deputy to the Emperor in his executive duties. The General Secretary is to oversee all delegations to the Council of Ministers and is to be the active regulator and observer to all ministries in Jericho. • Marshal of the Armed Forces, head executive for the Jerichoian armed services.

Article III The Jerichoian Assembly is to act as the legislature for Jericho and the ultimate authority on law in the alliance. Every member of the alliance is allowed to propose legislation to the Jerichoian Assembly. When such a bill is passed, it is the supreme law in Jericho, to be obeyed and followed by all Jerichoian agencies. All bills are to achieve a 50+1% majority and all amendments, declarations of war, and impeachment proceedings are to achieve a 67+1% majority. The Emperor may veto a bill in the Assembly, the Assembly may then chose to vote a second time on the bill. If the bill is to pass a second time, it will override the Emperor's veto. There are to be five members to the Jerichoian Assembly, there may only be an odd number of Assembly members at any time. In the event of the resignation of an Assembly member, the Emperor is to appoint a replacement to serve out the rest of the term in the Assembly. All five members of the Assembly are to be elected once a month. Polling is to begin forty-eight hours before the end of the month and nominations are to begin ninety-six hours before the end of the month and is the polling and nominations are to last forty-eight hours respectively. Every member is allowed to run for the Assembly, however members may not nominate themselves during the nomination period. Additionally, every member is guaranteed one vote for the Assembly candidates. The top 5 winning members will become the Jerichoian Assembly.
