Charter

 * Source

Preamble
We, the nations of The BrotherHood of the Dreaded, form this BrotherHood as a protection for all nations from all ethnicities to come for protection from rogue nations bent on killing, we are here as a safe harbor, our arms are open to all nations young and old, as long as they obey the rules that come with our protection.

Section 1
Any nation of any team will be considered for our alliance, as long as they are not currently in any alliance and are not in wars, if they are in a war/wars once this war ends they will be considered for membership, we are willing to make exceptions to this rule. When applying for membership members must fill out this application

Nation Name: Ruler Name: Nation Team Color: Past alliances if any: Wars I am in at the moment: Who I have been recruited by:

Spying on other alliances is strictly forbidden and will cause immediate expulsion, if you join another alliance while still being a member of BHD you will be considered for expulsion if you do not leave the other alliance that you belong to.

Section 2
Once accepted into The BrotherHood you will be ranked as just a simple member, the lowest rank above friend, we encourage all members to go into the separate Offices and apply for jobs at one they think they would have enough time and the skills necessary to complete the job. Once joined in an Office a member can rise through the ranks all the way up to a secretary of said Office.

Retirement
Any member, high up or barely active, may retire from The BrotherHood with just a simple resignation letter posted inside the resignation thread in the member’s office. Once resignation is accepted he will be masked once again as a "friend"

Expulsion
If a member breaks the rules and regulations of The BrotherHood (these rules will be listed at a later time as will punishment for breakage of these rules) he will be subject to punishment, one of the most severe of these is expulsion from The BrotherHood. In the case of a member requesting another member be expelled from the alliance, this member will be asked for a reason for the expulsion, if the reason is just, it will be put to a vote from the High Council. In the event that the High Council votes in 2/3 favor of him being expelled, he will immediately be stripped of his rank within The BrotherHood, all privileges will be revoked and he will be masked as friend on the forums. A expelled member can petition to gain his member ship back by PMing the High Council with his reasons why he should not be expelled, his re-entrance has to be sealed by a two thirds vote from the secretaries and the High Council.

Section III

Section IIII

 * The Governing Body of The Brotherhood

The High Council
The High Council is composed of a committee of nine officials, five of which are elected by majority vote from the membership of The Brotherhood. The other four seats will always be filled by the founding members, and the individuals who maintain/finance the upkeep of the forums. All members will be instructed on where to vote at the end of each month.

The Council will hold the ability to vote on all of the major officer titles within the alliance, as well as treaties with other alliances. This group is going to be in charge of dictating all governing bodies within the alliance and votes the officers of the alliance into power. The council retains the right to veto any decision made by its officers, if the veto is by a 2/3 majority amongst council members.

To be a candidate for election for a secretary of one of the Offices, the person must be a active member for at least one month, if they fulfill these requirements any member may be placed as a candidate for election in these offices, there will be a test when applying to become a secretary on how they plan to improve Their office in The BrotherHood and The BrotherHood as a whole, if the member cannot or does not answer these questions he will not be placed on the ballot.

In the event of a Secretary leaving or being voted out of the Office by a two thirds majority vote from the alliance itself The High Council reserves the right to choose a successor for the seat
