The Epically Awesome and Holy Constitution of the League Of United Defense
We, the members of the League of United Defense, hereafter known as LOUD, come together to form a great League as outlined in this document.. Any violations of such will be punished as necessary. The main objective of LOUD is to always strive for honesty in our friendships, ideals, and members.

The LOUD Members
The general membership of LOUD who have been accepted, and sworn the Oath of Honor and Respect, opinion will always be held highest in regards to the best course of action for the alliance.

Applications
All nations will be required to fill out an application in the appropriate format listed on LOUD’s forums to be considered for membership.

Oath of Honor and Respect
All members will be required to sign the oath and abide by it for their remaining time in LOUD. I, promise to obey all rules and regulations of the alliance. I understand that if I break any of them I could be punished by the alliance as they see fit. I promise to help my brothers and sisters as needed. Signed with my life,

Duties
After being accepted, all members must be active and willing to support others via aid, training, and anything else that is needed at the time. It is a privilege for the members to vote on matters that concern the wellbeing of LOUD.

Resignation If ever a member feels the need to leave the alliance, then there are some simple rules they must follow. 1) Make a topic in the "Resignation" forum. 2) Have their AA switched within 24 hours. Once they post a resignation, they will no longer be protected by the alliance, however we will not show aggressive manner towards them, until a 7 day grace period has passed. After which they will be considered "Ghosts".

Prime-Minister
The Prime-Minister is the supreme executive leader of LOUD. He (or she) presides over all Government decisions, including treaties, wars, and the appointment of Ministers. The Prime-Minister can only be removed through a 2/3 vote of ministers, or a 75% vote of the senate.

Ministers
The Ministers are the eyes and ears of the alliance; they shall make sure all areas of the alliance are running smoothly. They have the right to appoint their own deputies, the Heads of departments belonging to their ministry, and the rank and file members working in their ministry. If a Minister is away, or in other ways unable to perform their duties, their Deputy will temporary assume the responsibilities of the Minister.

Minister of Foreign Affairs
The Minister of Foreign affairs is in charge of all foreign relations (hence the name). They are the Head-Honcho when it comes to talking to other alliances, and will always retain their LOUD (loud?) sense of courtesy.

A Detailed Schedule goes a little something like this:
 * 10:00 A.M. – Wake-up
 * 11:00 A.M. – Take a bath and eat breakfast, while listening to the LOUD national anthem
 * 1:00 P.M. – Eat Lunch
 * 3:00 P.M. – Log onto IRC and join their 70+ channels
 * 7:00 P.M. – After answering 200+ queries and having 10+ random discussions, they will then eat dinner
 * 9:00 P.M. - Bed

Minister of War
The Minister of War will make sure no LOUD members are doing anything incredibly stupid like attacking another alliance. They will also organize the military of LOUD, and keep everyone up-to-date based on what the situation of the alliance is.

The Heads
The Heads are leaders of a department within a ministry. They have the right to appoint a deputy to aid them in their tasks, and the rank-and-file members of their department. If a Head is away, or in other ways unable to perform their duties, the Deputy will temporary assume the responsibilities of the Head. If no deputy has been appointed, the Minister of the ministry the department belongs in shall temporary assume the responsibilities of the Head until a suitable replacement can be found. tl;dr – Heads are mini-ministers

Requirements of the Government
Communism and You: Government members are required to have a communist-supporting or defacing avatar, in order to better educate the members of LOUD.

The r3VOLution: Unlike the silly Ron Paul supporters, our r3VOLution is for government members to huggle at least one person a day. (Except where huggling has been banned by the Blackadder act of February 2006)

LOUD is loud: Government members are required to yell where yelling is appropriate. LOUD is loud afterall.

 * ZI: Offenders against LOUD will be sentenced to ZI, only if diplomatic solutions have failed numerous times
