Amazon Nation

The Amazon Nation welcomes you!

Pride of the Amazons
Purpose:

The Amazon Nation is a Matriarchal Society which exists to celebrate the strength and freedom of the Women of Digiterra. The Amazon Nation wishes to prosper and coexist peacefully alongside other Nations, but will protect Her Sisters against outside aggression. The Amazon Nation shall welcome Brothers who share the same goals and also wish to join in good faith.

(This will be an alliance which aims to remain In Character, and as an IC alliance, occasional common terms may be exchanged by some of us for more IC friendly terminology. We do welcome Role Players and Mundane Players, alike, and invite all to enjoy and participate in the stories of the Amazon Nation.)

Hierarchy of the Amazon Nation
Government:

The Queen :

The Amazon Nation shall be ruled by one Queen. The Queen shall hold sole power and final authority over all internal and external affairs of the Amazon Nation. The Queen may delegate tasks and authority as needed to members of the Council, or to any Amazon in good standing. The Queen shall serve for life or until resignation. Upon resignation, the Queen shall designate her own replacement.

The Council :

The Council shall consist of up to six Amazons in good standing, voted upon by the Nation At Large in an Election ceremony that shall take place once every four months. In the interest of representing the Amazon Nation with a well rounded Council, matters of Internal Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Trade, Commerce, Recruitment and Defense may be administered by any Amazon who holds a current Council position. An Amazon who holds a Council seat must be willing and able to stand in for any other, in any of the Council positions as needed.

Elders (Former Council):

Amazons who have served honorably on the Council and have retired their seat shall be recognized for their service with the title of Elder. Elders carry the respect they have earned though their service, but no longer have the same scope of authority as the current sitting Council unless specifically designated to hold such authority by the Queen.

The Nation (General Membership):

Amazons shall promote camaraderie, teamwork, and the success of the Amazon Nation by showing the utmost respect for each other and all Visitors, and by supporting and assisting fellow Amazons in need. Amazons shall be encouraged to volunteer for increasingly responsible assignments at all times. No matter the title, there is always room for growth, status and improvement within the Nation.

Initiates :

New blood is the future of the Amazon Nation. During a new Amazon's Initiation period, the Nation shall strive to ensure that Initiates are well educated, well informed, and well prepared when entering into the ranks as an Amazon. The achievement of earning full Amazon Nation Citizenship is cause for much celebration.

Admission
Joining and switching AA's:

The Amazon Nation is a matriarchal society. However, given the scope of the inhabitants of Digiterra, Brothers who share the same goals and wish to join in good faith are welcome to do so. They will be held to the same standards, rules and guidelines as every other Amazon. With that said, those wishing to join may do so in the following manner: - The Nation will not harbor criminals fleeing from justice. Settle all unresolved issues, or contact the Queen to request assistance via Mediation. - Become a member of the Black Team. - Raise the Amazon Nation flag (AA). - Make a proper introduction (register and post in the appropriate thread) here:

All of the above steps are mandatory. The Amazon Nation will welcome all who follow these rules with open arms. However, those who are found flying the Amazon Nation flag (AA) for more than 24 hours without complying with the above listed rules, or without attempting to contact the Queen or Council by any means, will be considered a ghost and will be exorcised accordingly.

Amazon Code of Conduct
Expected behavior:

- The Amazon Nation expects loyalty and respect from Her Sisters at all times. - An Amazon *is* a representation of the Nation, and shall show proper respect to all, friend or foe. - The Amazon Nation does not knowingly harbor criminals. Any concerns brought to the Queen's attention will be resolved promptly. - Amazons shall not employ the use of Spies when the Nation is at peace. - Amazons shall not initiate nuclear warfare without expressed authorization from the Queen, and a strict anti-first-strike and limited escalation policy shall be adhered to. - No Amazon shall hide from battle (in Peace Mode).

Amazonian Duels
Tech Raids:

(The Nation will refer to tech raids IC as Duels both for IC fun and to promote the expectation that they should and will encounter resistance, may be defeated and should not expect financial aid if such resistance occurs within reason. The term also promotes one of its primary definitions as being a hard fought contest between two opponents--not two or three against one.)

The Amazon Nation shall not rampantly raid Her way across Digiterra, as it is preferred that the Nation grow and prosper peacefully. However, for those who wish to increase their knowledge of battle, an Amazon may initiate a one-on-one "duel" with a nation which files no flag (None) and is not a member of the Black or Red Teams, using the following guidelines:

- An Amazon must be a part of the Nation for no less than 30 days (seniority) to initiate a Duel. - No flag means NO flag, no matter the number (AA = None, no exceptions). - An Amazon may NOT engage those on the Black or Red Teams. - An Amazon may engage in ONLY one Duel at a time. - An Amazon may not engage an opponent who is already fighting, or has actively given or received aid. - Spoils to the Victor. An Amazon initiating a Duel does so knowing the consequences of defeat. - A Duel is a Duel, give quarter when it is requested. No Amazon shall demand greater spoils in exchange for peace. - A Duel is over when peace is declared. No Amazon shall re-engage the same opponent.
