Monos Archein (1st)

The Monos Archein Charter
Integrity. Friendship. Responsibility. Honour. These are the principles of Monos Archein. Every member is guaranteed these, and every member is expected to offer them in return. It is in the spirit of these founding principles that we establish this Grand Code of Monos Archein.

The Charter of Monos Archein

Section One: The Powers That Be

This Charter grants authority within Monos Archein to the Archein, the Regent, the Chancellor, and the Council of Ministers.

TCB sec I. Oh Hai, We Run This

The Archein The Archein is to be the absolute authority on all alliance matters. She (or he, should the case ever arise) may rule on any matter whether it be internal or external to the alliance. The Archein's primary concerns are overseeing Foreign Affairs and military actions.

The Archein is advised by the Regent and the Chancellor, known together as the Twin Council. The Twin Council is the secondary executive authority. They are the confidants to the Archein on alliance matters.

The Regent The Regent will act as second in command of the alliance, and in the absence of the Archein, rule on all decisions. He/she is in charge of overseeing the Ministers of Recruitment, Education, Justice, and Internal Affairs.

The Chancellor The Chancellor is the third in command. She/he is in charge of overseeing economic affairs for the alliance. The Ministers of Finance, Commerce, and Trade report to the Chancellor who ensures the operations of the above listed departments.

'''TCB sec II. If Kait Goes Bye Bye?'''

In the absence of the Archein, the Regent may rule on all decisions in agreement with the Chancellor, except in military matters. Offensive military engagement, in the absence of the Archein, require the approval of the Chancellor, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In the case of diplomat deployment, approval is only required from the Chancellor.

In the absence of both the Archein and the Regent (uh oh!), the Chancellor delegates rulings on all decisions, with the exception of military and Foreign Affairs matters. In concerns to offensive military engagement, the agreement of the Minister of War is required. Foreign Affair rulings, with the exception of diplomat deployments, require the agreement of the Minister of War.

'''TCB sec III. Kait's Drunken Stupor Clause'''

Any drunken decision made by the Archein has a two day waiting period so the drunkeness has a chance to wear off. Enough said.

Section Two: 10 Ministers a Leaping!

TCB sec I. I Can Has Advisor Nao?

Monos Archein government permits the appointment of Advisors. These Advisors, appointed by the consent of the Archein and Twin Council, shall function in solely advisory roles and receive no actual power or authority, except when specifically granted by the Twin Council and/or Archein. If granted power, Advisors will receive up to and including the powers of the Minister Council. These positions may be used continuously, temporarily, or never, at the complete discretion of the Twin Council and/or Archein. Any Advisors shall serve at the discretion of the Twin Council and Archein, and can be dismissed if they loose the confidence of either the Regent, the Chancellor, or the Archein.

'''TCB sec II. OVERRULED!'''

Any decision made by a Minister may be overruled by the Archein and/or Twin Council. With Military actions, the Archein can overrule the Minister of War at any time. The Archein may do so at her (his) discretion without regard to process.

'''TCB sec III. Did We Lose Someone?'''

Twin Council Vacancies: In the event of the Vacancy of the Regent, the Chancellor will  be appointed in their place. The replacement of the Chancellor is at the sole discretion of the Archein and the Regent.

Archein Vacancy: The Archein serves for life, but in the event of the Archein stepping down, only the Regent may take the position. The replacement of the Regent is outlines under Twin Council Vacancies.

Ministry Vacancies: If a Minister choose to leave his position, the Twin Council (or Archein, in the case of the Ministers of Defense, War, and Foreign Affairs) is expected to appoint a replacement within fourteen days. In the cases of elected positions, the Twin Council may also choose to appoint for the remainder of the current term or offer a special election, at their discretion.

Ministry Removal: Unanimous agreement of the Archein and Twin Council is required to remove the Minister of Justice. The Ministers of Defense and War can be removed at the Archein’s discretion. Two-thirds agreement of the Archein and Twin Council is required to remove any other minister. The remaining government shall then follow the procedure outlined to fill vacancies.

'''TCB sec IV. No Can Has Double!'''

So we don't confuse ourselves, no single member can hold more than a single Ministry position at any given time under any condition, regardless of whether that position be elected or appointed.

''Section Three: So Good, We Should Be Illegal... Wait''

The Alliance will establish and maintain a body of laws that all members are governed by. No member is above the law! The minister of Justice will ensure the enforcement of this code, and may be petitioned by any member to change, add to, or remove from it.

Such shanges to the Monos Archein Legal Code requires consent of the Archein as well of that of the Minister of Justice.

Section Four: You Join Nao!

TCB sec I. Get The Basics Right, Mmmkay?

Nations wanting membership in Monos Archein are required to file an application stating the following:

Nation Name: Nation Link: Previous Alliances (we reserve the right to check references): Recruiter (if applicable):

... including anything else the Minister of Recruitment puts on application. Prospective members should read policies carefully prior to application submission. Don't make us facepalm. Srsly.

'''TCB sec II. You Filled It Out Right?'''

Members, regardless of any government position held, must conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful and responsible, whether communicating on IRC, another alliance offsite forum, or the Open World Forum.

Monos Archein is proud to be a Maroon Alliance all members joining MA under 10k NS are required to change their team color to Maroon.

Members are expected to remain active on this forum and to keep up with changes and news in the alliance.

Members of Monos Archein are required to vote for the alliance’s chosen Team Senate candidate.

Any member choosing to leave Monos Archein (Boooo!) must privately message a member of government prior to departure and pay back any and all aid distributed to them in the last 60 days.

'''TCB sec III. Ride or Die'''

No member shall ever be barred the right to mutual defense under this Charter, nor any financial benefit associated with meeting that goal.

You Want To Change the Awesomeness?

In all fairness, 2/3rds of the people writing this were drunk. Changes can be made once the Twin Council and Archein have signed (we advise against this).

Changes to this Charter can be made by drafting amendments and presenting them to the Archein and Twin Council. In order for changes to occur it must have unanimous consent of the Twin Council, and the approval of the Archein. If, in seven days no reply is received, something is horribly wrong and Section 1: TCB II applies.

= Monos Archein: A History =

The Founding
The order of Monos Archein began in November 2007, the foundations of the alliance were to be built up around principles of community honour and decency. Headed by the grand triumvirate, including prominent founders Kaitlink and ace072199, the alliance slowly began to prosper.

Other Ministers and ministries were appointed by the triumvirate in order to speed up the growth and prosperity now engulfing Monos Archein. These included: Minister of Defence: ender Minister of Internal Affairs: RevanIV Minister of Finance: Rezlov Minister of Justice: The Prophet

Electing the Future
After almost a month of growth it came to pass that the leadership of Monos Archein were to hold elections for the positions of ministers, initial competition was rife and members vied for positions, this eventually settled into several solidly elected ministers who took office on December 30th 2007 these included:

Minister of Defence: ender Minister of Internal Affairs: RevanIV Minister of Finance: Rezlov Minister of Justice: Bambaataa Minister of Recruitment: The Prophet Minister of Education: Jonnie Goodboy Tyler

In the subsequent days an amendment to the MA charter created the ministry of trade and Vladisvok Destino was appointed by the triumvirate to this role.

The Maroon Dragon Awakens
On January 18th 2008 it was announced that Monos Archein has passed the 1 Million alliance strength mark with 194 nations and was quickly headed on for greater things. It was at this time that the alliance began to consider its place as one of the varied and independent Alliances of Maroon, looking towards improving trade and foreign relations in the sphere.

Following in this mission Monos Archein continued to grow and by February 2008 they passed the 200 member mark, several days of celebration ensured as Monos Archein looked to a bright and prosperous future.

Merger with The Dominion
On the 15th of May 2008 Dan123123 of The_Dominion announced that they were merging with Monos Archein. By the end of the day Monos Archein had already passed two million alliance strength, on the 17th of May they were added to the sanction race and on the 19th of May reached three million alliance strength and 300 members.

The Drive for Sanction
As the months went by Monos Archein drove onwards to sanction, it seemed only like a matter of time until the alliance would take its rightful place at the top, to these ends the role of Archein emerged as the titular head of state for Monos Archein, the triumvirate remained the prime decision making body of the alliance however the Archein would lead Monos Archein’s military and diplomatic affairs.

The August Revolt
As July 2008 approached Monos Archein stood poised to take the sanctioned title, however as July turned to August things were not as they seemed, internal division over misunderstood foreign relations took the alliance and in the early days of August a plot was formed, this plot was to over throw the legitimate government of Monos Archein. Yet the plot was discovered and the conspirators expelled from Monos Archein, a combined effort of internal pressure and the popularity of the then government internationally helped end the August Revolt.

Revolution and War
As the ramifications of the Revolt became clear Monos Archein slowly began to pick up the pieces, the role of Archein was strengthened into absolute head of the Monos Archein and the triumvirate was abolished instead replaced by the Chancellor and Regent. A new charter was written investing within its texts the very sense of humour and community spirit that Monos Archein bases its goals and future upon.

It was into a Cyberverse wracked by pressures that the new Monos Archein emerged, the fundamental order of Planet bob was being threatened and in late August and early September planet bob erupted into the biggest war in its History, The War of the Coalition. Radiation reached a staggering 17.00 in two weeks, Monos Archein became embroiled in battle to defend Ragnarok and saw combat against Siberian Tiger Alliance and several smaller alliances, the dire days of the war came when Monos Archein came under sustained Nuclear bombardment from her adversaries, this was responded to in kind and the Archein issued this statement authorising Monos Archeins Nuclear arsenal. The War ended in a Coalition victory, Monos Archein was reborn and quickly began amassing military and economic wonders at an accelerated rate.

Im Super Thanks for asking


After months of rebuilding Monos Archein regained its confidence with the acceptance of the Alliance into The SuperFriends alongside long standing allies,  Ragnarok,  GOD and  Random Insanity Alliance, Monos Archein ascended to The SuperFriends. Proudly taking their place as Code name: Wonder Woman Monos Archein looked onward to the future.

The Present Day
Monos Archein once again sits upon the river banks of planet bob relaxing with the other SuperFriends waiting for the day in which it will be called to defend those most in need of defending, untill then, they forge on with their endearing values of community and fraternity.
