    UN CONSTITUTION


    This is the constitution that we, the people of the United Nations Peacekeepers, have decided upon. In it, we have declared that we shall form a government of the people, a Democracy, in which
    we shall choose who leads us. Our faction will be let by the people and for the people.

    ARTICLE I: Commission Structure


    Executive Branch

    This is the administrative section of our faction. The Executive branch is made up of the Commissioner and the Alpha Talent. These two are required to abide by the suggestions of the directors, who represent the will of the people.

    The alpha talent is the second of the commissioner and is responsible for elections, finding out what the people want and helping the commissioner as best as his abilities let him.


    Director Branch

    Directors make up the directorate. Directors are elected in the area they oversee, and they have the task of informing and advising the people on our situation. They are required to conduct polls in order to interpret the people’s will. They are then to carry out that will, by giving their orders to the Commissioner.

    All Directors are allowed to advise and consult with each other. They are also granted the right to petition for changes or actions from other Directors that may be critical to the their department. Ultimately, however, it is the Director in charge of his/her section that has the final say in how things are handled.

    All directors will have to post their general strategies in the 'office' thread. This will outline possible situations where the commissioner can not ask for orders from the directors but will have to act on the general orders.

    ARTICLE II: Government policy


    Amendments:
    Amendments to the Constitution can be submitted by any member of our faction. First in a form of a thread where exact lines can be discussed and after that in a poll. An amendment is passed and made official by a 2/3 or greater vote on the amendment's inclusion.

    Office Terms:
    All office terms shall last one month. A member can run for a different office at the end of his term, but he cannot change offices during it. If a member is elected three times into any government office, that member may not run for any government office the fourth consecutive term. After the fourth term he may run for any government office that is available. If this rule let not have a fully seated government, the rule will be deemed invalid for that term.

    Impeachment and Resignations:
    Every member of our faction is recognised the right to bring foreword the issue of impeachment of any government official at any time. The constitutional court will look at the demand and determine if an impeachment progress has to be started within 48 hours of the impeachment demand

    the rules for the first post:
    *The unbiased reason why the person in question could be impeached
    *The job of the person in question
    *The time when the poll ends

    If impeachment happens the alpha talent takes his place until a new election has been held.

    Every government official may resign from office the alpha talent will do the same as with impeachment. If the alpha talent has to take over 2 or more government places we will freeze the game until new elections are held.

    No person is allowed to play ahead to:
    *Gain information about foreign factions

    Base Names:

    The alpha talent or the commissioner will pick 5 names from the name thread and will put them in a poll where a name for a new city can be chosen. This poll has to be open for at least 2 days. The name with the most votes will be chosen for the base and will be scraped from the list. The same counts for landmarks. If someone wants to name a place without a landmark a poll has started about giving it a name or not. This poll will also have minimum of 2 days.

    Anyone who votes NEA will be forced to provide an alternate constitution.



    p.s. & FYI: it's usually spelled "NAY", DBTS. Don't ask why. English is just weird.
    What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

        Vote YEA. Honestly, things may come up later in the game, but with the experiences of two other Demo games to work with, I haven't found a single problem with this AT ALL.

        Well done DBTS and all who had input in this Constitution.
        Consul.

        Back to the ROOTS of addiction. My first missed poll!

            Sorry for disappearing -- starting college took more time than I thought. DBTS, the constitution looks excellent, and I commend you for putting it together when I dropped the ball.

            I'll still be around somewhat, but won't be able to post nearly as frequently.

              Good job, guys.
              All my original criticisms have been addressed - and if I find anything else, I'm sure I can pass an amendment.

                      I don't think there'll be a need for that, DBTS. You've done a fine job, created a very good constitution, and most probably eliminated the need for a Civ3-style revolution six months down the track.

                            * 2/3 YEA vote to pass the proposal or under 1/3 NEA vote to pass the proposal
                            Maybe this should be clarified to point out there must still be more YEA than NEA votes to pass a proposal in case there's under 1/3 NAY votes

                            btw, I'm not the most active member in this demo game, but I'll make sure to check in when I have the time. Do we have any summary thread where you can get a quick overview of the most important things going on?
