I'm basing the positions made on the preliminary constitiution / government structure Jam posted in this thread which no-one objected to. I'm fine with any changes to this structure, which is partly why I called for discussing these items here. 
Organisational and roleplaying discussion here should be fine, everything else to wait for our private forum or using the current secret barracks.

Provincial Survivalists Constitution:
- All Citizens have the right to bear arms.
- All Citizens have the right to take part in all faction decisions.
- All Spartans may become a Citizen either by completing 5 years of military service, or by being retired wounded during that period, when they shall be promoted to officer rank.
- All Spartans may take part in voting.
- All government officials are to be serving officers of the Spartan Milita with at least 5 years service.
- All ranks of Lieutenant and above (i.e. Spartan Officers) are elected ranks. All promotions and demotions are by election by the Citizens.
- No Spartan, Citizen, Soldier or worker is to be denied access to faction information.
- Millitary law is above all other laws, civil, moral and constitutional.
- No Spartan may surrender in battle and retain his/her rights as a Citizen.
Proposal of Spartan Structure
We should aim for a decentralised "spiderweb" government, not a "tree" or "column" structure.
In the middle should go the turnplayer of the moment.
All around him/her should be other posts that feed information into the centre of the web. The turnplayer should have no responsibilities to gather info, just to eat it, plan the turn and spit out the reports.
The "strands" of the web have the job of organising polls, elections, policy decisions, tech progress, SE settings, base placement, terraforming etc. Noone should be fixed in a post, but everyone should try and help each other out to give the turnplayer as much info as possible.
Anyone can be the leader - and we should regularly select a new one.
