EUFN Charter (March-June 2008)

The EUFN Charter was the governing laws of the alliance before it was replaced by the EUFN Consitution on the 2nd of June 2008.

Reason for its replacement
Following the establishment of the Republican government of the EUFN two months prior, President Dope and Prime Minister James both finally set up a legal framework that fits it with the government.

Introduction
We, the nations of the EUFN, agree to promote national sovereignty, defend our fellow members against outside aggression and promote the EUFN way of life to the Cyber Nations world.

Admission
Any nation joining and pledging an oath to the Economic Unified Federation of Nations (EUFN) on the EUFN offsite forum requesting full membership will be admitted, providing one's nation does not belong to any other alliances and does not present a security risk to the EUFN. The oath shall consist of the following but specification of wording will not be forced upon any nation:

The name of the nation The name of the nation’s leader The team in which the nation resides The user name on the Cybernations Forum

Further, once a nation is a member of the EUFN they are forbidden to join any other alliance in the game under threat of expulsion by The Council. New member nations are not eligible for any aid for the first few days of membership unless in the event that they are in serious need then the alliance can do what it can to help.

Structure
The Four great offices: President is the head of the alliance. He or she is usually elected by the people. He would have say over what goes on in the alliance, he/she is the head diplomat to other alliances. The term the President serves last 1 year but if the public do not wish to have him/her no more then the Council can overall him and replace him with the prime minister until a Presidential elections takes place.

Prime minister is mainly a ceremonial role but can agree with the President to pass laws into affect. If he disagrees then he will take it to the EUFN Council who will then review the laws and accept or reject them. Elections are held every 6 months and the prime minister can be re-elected how many times he or she want, but if he/she is re-elected more then 4 times in a row he/she must wait a election or two in order to become PM again.

Deputy Prime Minister will serve as acting Prime Minister whenever the real Prime Minister is temporarily absent or is incapable of exercising his/her power. For this reason the Deputy PM can also and will be asked to succeed the Prime Minister following his or her sudden death or unexpected resignation.

Finance minister is the title held by an elected official, who is responsible for all economic and financial matters. The position is one of the four Great Offices of the EUFN.

EUFN Council: The EUFN Council is a body that advises the head of state aka the President of a respective notion or idea. They also have a abilty to overule the President and Prime Minister and replace them with an elected successer. If they can provide a soild reason with clear evidence to do so.
