Government
Sans Pareil government is not a democracy. The Divine Government of Sans Pareil is small and selective. The Divine Government is composed of the following positions.

Grand Master
This position is the leader of the alliance. The Grand Master is appointed until resignation at which point the Grand Master will select his successor. The Grand Master has the final say over any decision made within the alliance through the advice and guidance of the Council and any other government officers. The Grand Master can expel any member at any time for any reason. The Grand Master has the power of Divine Appointment. The first Grand Master of Sans Pareil is Mely Ranen

Master Regent
The Master Regent is second in command of the alliance. The Master Regent is the appointed successor to the Grand Master and has the ability to speak on behalf of the Grand Master in the event of the Grand Master's absence. The Grand Master is also in charge of the council and maintaining efficiency and organization thereof.

Cabinet
The cabinet includes the Grand Master, Master Regent, and others that are appointed by the Grand Master to help guide the alliance and to be further figure heads of the alliance. Being promoted to this position is based on merit and the hard work the member has put in to their respective division.

Division Directors
Division Directors are appointed by the Grand Master. Divisions Directors are responsible for leading and coordinating the division they were appointed to. They are completely in charge of how their division is run and all appointments made within. They are subject to scrutiny by the Alliance Council to maintain efficiency.

Alliance Council
The Alliance Council is a council of no more than five elected leaders who will oversee the workings of the divisions and will strive to keep the divisions efficient. The Alliance Council is also responsible for improving the alliance in any way that needs improving. They serve for a period of two months and are elected by the general members of the alliance. Division directors are not eligible to be on the council. This alliance council will be inactive from the start of the alliance until the Government Officers decide it is necessary to activate the position. By a vote of more than 66% of the members, the Alliance Council can vote to remove a division director due to inefficiency. The Grand Master would then appoint a replacement.

Divisions
Divisions of Sans Pareil include War Division, Recruiting Division, Gameplay Division, Foreign Affairs Division, and the Bank Division. Divisions are sections of the alliance divided up in an effort for a more efficient government. Each Division is headed by a Division Director who is in charge for the maintaining and responsibilities of that Division. The Grand Master can create new divisions as he sees necessary. Divisions have many positions within them that are filled by appointment at the discretion of that division's director.

Divine Appointment
Divine appointment is the power to create and fill [by appointment] extra government or leadership positions as necessary. The Grand Master alone has the ability of Divine Appointment on the government level. Division leaders can manage their divisions as they feel necessary, including appointing other members to positions within that Division.

Amendments
Amendments are a necessary part of every charter and evolving body such as an alliance.
