iamthey Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) The Dominion hereby declares its existence on the Kerguelen Islands, and Mcdonald's Islands formerly belonging to the Alliance. Operations will continue as they were. Ordinance of OrderPrelude Article I: The Oligarchy Article II: The Executive Signature It is with a collective will and collective intent that the Dominion is hereby established. The political realm is determined by a single thing and that is the strength of those participating within it. While many kings and princes of time have attempted to dominate the political realm's of their own nation's they operate under the delusion that there's is the most powerful force. In reality there is no more powerful force than the will of the Collective, and it is with the greatest interest in mind that the state shall serve. Article I: The Oligarchy Section 1: Sovereignty Clause 1: The state shall be directed and governed by a single governing collective from which all power shall be distributed and stem. The title of this group shall be the Oligarchy. Said Collective shall be sovereign and in the legal case infallible.

Clause 5: The Oligarchy may delegate the responsibilities of the state to any individual or group of individuals who may act as proxies to it.

Section 3: Privileges and Duties of an Oligarch Clause 1: An Oligarchy is answerable only to the Oligarchy. Clause 2: An Oligarch is entitled to the resources of the state in his or her own personal life in so far as use of said resources does not conflict with the interest of the collective. Clause 3: An Oligarch may serve a life term until removal by his or her fellow peers. Clause 4: An Oligarchy may call for an internal vote on any subject during times of an active Oligarchy, or may call for a vote of suspension during a time of a Passive Oligarchy. Article I: The Executive Section 1: Description Clause 1: In order to ensure that the Dominion has direction as a nation a single individual shall be selected among the Oligarchy to serve as the leading figure. This individual shall be termed the Imperial Regent. This individual shall serve in the place of the Oligarchy while it is passive. The Oligarchy shall at this time become "The Committee", and shall serve as advisors and officials within the Regent's government. These individuals while serving the Regent still retain their privileges as Oligarchs. Section 2: Powers of the Regent Clause 1: The Regent may issue Administrative laws which may mandate or Restrict behavior. Clause 2: The Regent may structure the state bureaucracy to serve the needs of his or her administration.

Lynneth Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 "This effectively is a successor state to the Alliance, with much of the previous command structure being the same, is that right? If so, why did you abandon your swiss brothers? Regardless, welcome...Or welcome back, whatever you may deem appropriate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, welcome...Or welcome back, whatever you may deem appropriate." *Private to Bavarian Government* Aside from a few leading figures most of the government has changed; however we were forced to leave due to the threat of civil war. Originally the group of individuals leading the Alliance came from a conglomerate formed during the time of the Imperium. Each individual came from a wealthy background and held significant extra-governmental power including personal paramilitary forces and loyal factions. After the Imperium fell we formed the Alliance which had an authoritarian command structure rather than an oligarchical; I inherited this when my predecessor Mr. Othran died and ever sense there has been internal tension and jealousy from the rest of the original Oligarchy. They were pushing for more political reforms and I was attempting to hold things as they were. Obviously they wanted their own power back, but if they couldn't have that, then they just wanted to dilute my own. Eventually they got fed up with my undermining of their perceived authority and illegally called for my removal. The choice was rather simple. I could face their own paramilitary forces, a propaganda campaign that would rile up the people against me, and eventually a civil war which would force me to be an enemy to my own people; or I could simply dissolve the Alliance altogether give the local command structures the reigns, and simply return to the Islands that were originally mine to begin with. The real threat of Domestic war, and eventual execution left me with one option. As your own nation has a system of nobility, and regal authority surely you can understand the political environment it creates and the extremes to which it can go. Anyway thank you for the greeting. OOC: Unfortunately I was rather bored with my present FA policy and with Europe in general and wanted to try something new. Moreover my nation was so spread out I felt like I couldn't really do anything as if I ever entered a war I could be attacked simultaneously on many fronts. I figured i'd start over.
