Section II – Government Hierarchy
Different from other international coalitions in goal and purpose the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories needs a different form of government. The Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories is to be organized in a pyramidal manner. There exists three different class allocation of membership; the first and largest group consists of the signatory nations, the second group consists of the inner circle and the third consists solely of the alliance head; the monarch.

II.i) Signatory Nations: The Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories signatory nations have many privileges and duties. Firstly, they will be protected at all times by the alliance, with all means at the alliances disposition. However, this does not apply to raids on single unaligned nations with no alliances, on whom the signatory nation has first declared war. Secondly, they have the right to make use of all services offered by the alliance. Thirdly, they have the freedom of speech and opinion on the alliance forums. Fourthly, all other conditions equal signatory nations will be considered before foreign nations in business and economic partnerships. Signatory nations are obliged to fulfill the following: firstly, in times of war signatory nations must support the alliance with all resources at their disposition and obey the orders of the Field-Marshall.

Thirdly, alliance members are obliged to maintain a reasonable level of activity in cyber-nations and on the forums. Fourthly, members are obliged to keep all alliance information secret. Fifthly, nations adhere to the decrees and guidelines of this constitution and the government.

II.ii) Inner Circle: The Inner Circle is the governing body of the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories. It is composed of a number of five members, each one of them being in charge of a particular branch of government. First, the Monarch is part of the circle; he is in charge of overseeing the general actions of government. Second, the Field-Marshall; his duties consist in overseeing all that is of relevance to alliance offensive and defensive operations. This includes but is not limited to: alliance defence strategy, tactics and manoeuvres and alliance readiness. Third, the Councillor of Foreign Affairs; he is in charge of managing all embassies to foreign alliances as well as embassies in CUNT territory and developing new trade partners for the alliance. Fourth, the Deputy Governor; is in charge of organising and maintaining the forums, providing council to other inner circle members and of imposing sanctions on members of the alliance who do not respect this constitution. Fifth, the Recruitment Overseer and Constitutional Officer; who is in charge of all matters with respect to the recruitment of new members as well as ensuring that all decisions made by the inner circle and monarch are constitutional.

II.iii) Monarch: On top of being part of the inner circle, the monarch is also ultimate leader of the alliance. While technically he posses the power in all aspects of the government, in the day to day operations the four other members of the inner council have a much more important role in their respective fields. It is the Monarchs duty look after all signatory nations and provides the alliance with a policy and a set of aims and goals, which will ensure the growth and development of the alliance.

Section III - Decision and Law Making
In order to make the laws and decrees of the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories legally binding they must be made in the following manner. Firstly, a bill must be proposed by one of the five members of the inner circle (though he may be inspired by someone else’s idea). The bill is then debated, for a period of 24 hours by the five members and subject to a vote. The vote must receive 60% or more support to pass. Once the bill has been approved, it then passes through the member of the inner circle whose department it affects this member then gets the possibility to veto the bill. If the bill does not fall under the jurisdiction of any of the four areas of responsibility then it passes onto the next step. Finally, before it becomes a law, the bill must pass through the monarch. The monarch then has the right to veto any bill that he does not believe would be beneficial to the organization as a whole. On a final note, any proposed bill which is flagged by the Recruitment Overseer and Constitutional Officer as not being constitutional may not be voted on until it is modified to be in accordance to this constitution.

Section IV – Diplomacy
The diplomatic doctrine of the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories is to be set by the Councillor of Foreign Affairs while taking into account the wishes of the Monarch and the welfare of the commonwealth. However, the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories recognizes the importance of good relations and cooperation with other alliances. As such, any alliance making mutually beneficial propositions can expect to be well-received and treated properly by our coalition. The alliance also places great importance in creating strong bonds and friendships with other alliances. War is justifiable in the eyes of the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations as long as it can be clearly and logically shown to be beneficial for the commonwealth.

Section V – War and Tech Raids
The Field-Marshall is the commander of all combined efforts and operations by the alliance in times of inter-alliance wars. As such his orders must be obeyed and failure to do so is considered an act punishable. The Field-Marshall must also ensure that members of the alliance maintain a reasonable level of military forces in their nations. Only the monarch may declare the alliance to be in a state of war, following this however the Field-Marshall assumes command of the war efforts. If the war is an offensive one, the monarch or the Field-Marshall must first pass the declaration of war as a bill of law through the inner circle, following regular procedures. If the war is a defensive one, however, it does not need to be passed through the inner circle and may be declared right away. Signatory members who wish to engage in tech raids have the right to do so, however, several conditions apply: firstly, in this case war can only be declared on a nation which is not part of an alliance. Secondly, the alliance is not responsible for any aggressive operations conducted by its members against non-aligned nations and, as such, disassociates itself completely from these conflicts.

Section VI – Espionage
The Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories considers espionage to be an act of war, and will respond accordingly. Before war is declared however, the situation will normally be handled diplomatically first. The Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories disassociates itself from espionage conducted by its signatory members on other nations. If another nation or alliance were to realize that a spy from a signatory nation of the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories had infiltrated them, then they would be asked to head to our forums and make a topic about the issue. This will result in swift disciplinary action being taken against the signatory nation by the government of the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories and compensation being paid to the wronged party.

Section VII – Disciplinary Measures
The Deputy Commander holds all disciplinary power for the alliance. If a law or order is disobeyed or a wrong is committed then the deputy commander will bring the issue up before the inner circle. If the inner council decides that the signatory nation is guilty, then the deputy commander will be given absolute power of punishment over the offending nation.

Section VIII – Departmental Organization
Each member of the inner circle will have the complete authority to organize his area of responsibility (or department) as he see’s fit in order to best accomplish the goals set forward by the monarch of the alliance.

Section IX – Replacement of Inner Circle and Monarch
In the advent where a member of the inner circle was to leave or be removed from office by a vote from the remaining four members of the inner circle, his successor would be chosen in the following way. The position would be offered to the signatory nation who has given the greatest amount of foreign aid to other signatory nations of the alliance, if there exists an issue regarding this ruler’s nomination then the monarch will be asked to decide whether the signatory nation is fit to be part of the inner circle or not. In the advent where the nominee is refused then the position will be offered to the signatory nation which has provided the second greatest amount of foreign aid, and etc…. until someone is found to fill the vacant position. In the advent where the monarch was to leave or resign, before doing so he would select his successor from all other members of the alliance. The new monarch will then assume power as soon as the previous one abandons his functions.

Section X – Amending the Constitution
The possibility exists to amend this constitution to reflect the changing needs of the Commonwealth of Unaligned Nations and Territories. In order to amend the constitution, the following procedure will have to be followed. Firstly, the amendment will have to be proposed through the inner circle. Secondly, once the amendment has been debated, it will be subjected to a vote in the inner circle, the result of this vote must be unanimous. There are no veto rights when amendments to the constitution are being voted on. Thirdly, if the result of the inner council vote is unanimous, then the constitutional amendment will be subjected to a vote of all signatory nations. If the vote for the constitutional amendment is 60% or more then the constitution is legally amended.
