Global Mutual Defense Group

The Global Mutual Defense Group is a very small and very slowly growing alliance on the Pink team. It is comprised mostly of friends of an Invisionfree forum called "Why Our Community Must Live!", or actual personal acquaintances of the founder. It has since created its own separate forum for better management, due to increasing outside members.

Charter
This alliance has been created and carried out under the ideals of a mutual defense against rogue attacks, and that we may not seek power but a stronger sense of security among our nations.

Article I, Admission and Expulsion
To be admitted into the alliance, you must post your application in the Recruitment board. Upon reviewing, you will be accepted or denied by one of the three Consuls.

A member nation must support the alliance for at least two weeks. If they leave before this time, they must repay the $15,000 aid. If they do not, they will be targeted.

Expulsion will be based on a majority vote by the Consuls. Terms for expulsion are to be determined by the Consuls.

Article II, Consulship
The Alliance will be lead by a Consular body of three leaders. Each Consul may keep the position for as long as they so choose, two weeks being the minimum. The only way to expel a leader is through a vote of no confidence by the member nations. Two thirds of the active nations most vote for the expulsion of the Consul within a 72 hour period for it to be passed.

If a Consul resigns or is expelled, the election of a new Consul will be based on a 2/3 majority vote of the active members of the Alliance forum.

Article III, War Policy
The Global Mutual Defense Group has an open war policy with unaligned nations. However, an unprovoked war will not be endorsed by the Alliance, and aid will not be distributed by the Consular body. If a member nation is attacked first, aid may be distributed, and open war will be declared on the attacking nation.

First-strikes on aligned nations are strictly forbidden. If a member nation attacks an unaligned nation, reparations must be paid. If reparations are not paid, the member will be expelled from the alliance.

The Alliance supports the possession of nuclear weapons, but first-strikes are strictly forbidden. If a nuclear first strike is launched against an unaligned nation, reparations will be required. If reparations are not paid, then the member nation will be expelled. A nuclear first strike against an aligned nation will result in immediate expulsion.

Article IV, Amendments
An amendment may be proposed by any member nation, regardless of rank or status. Amendments are to be proposed in the Internal Affairs room, and will be discussed publicly in the conference room. Whether the amendment passes will be based on a majority vote by the Consular body. Member nations are encouraged to lobby for their side as well.
