Fellowship of Unified Nations

The Charter of the Fellowship of Unified Nations
Article I. Government

Chief Magistrate: The Chief Magistrate is the symbolic leader of the alliance and has veto power over the parliament as well as the authority to announce a state of war. The Chief Magistrate is also charged with making all major announcements pertaining to the alliance. They also appoint members to Parliament. The Chief Magistrate may be removed from office if 100% of the Parliament agree that he is abusing his authority and a unanimous vote is passed.

Deputy Chief Magistrate: The Chief Magistrate shall appoint a Deputy Chief Magistrate who shall hold the powers of the Chief Magistrate should the Chief Magistrate be unavailable or incapacitated. Wherever possible, the Chief Magistrate shall give notice to the Parliament that he or she shall be absent or unavailable for more than 24 hours. The full powers of the Chief Magistrate shall pass to the Deputy Chief Magistrate until the Chief Magistrate returns. The powers of the Chief Magistrate shall revert to him or her immediately on his or her return. The Deputy Chief Magistrate shall replace the Chief Magistrate in the event the Chief Magistrate resigns. The Deputy Chief Magistrate may be removed from office at the discretion of the Chief Magistrate or by a Vote of Censure by five Members of Parliament.

Parliament: The parliament is a group of six people that make the internal and foreign affairs policies and pass laws that are ratified into the charter. They have complete authority over policy decisions and may declare a state of war should it be decided that one exists. Parliament may have their decisions vetoed if the Chief Magistrate determines that the decision is not in the best interests of the alliance.

The Parliament is representative of the wishes of the people and as such should their decisions be unsatisfactory to the general membership, said general membership may call for a vote of no confidence for the individual that they feel is not representing their interests and if 85% of the votes cast are for the removal of the Member of Parliament, said Member of Parliament shall be removed from Parliament. The vote shall last a minimum of 48 hours from the time the poll is opened. The maximum duration shall be set by the Chief Magistrate in consultation with the unaffected Members of Parliament but shall be no more than 7 calendar days.

In the event that the vote fails to remove the Member of Parliament, no further vote of confidence in the same Member of Parliament may be placed before the general membership before one calendar month has elapsed.

General membership: The general membership are the community of the Fellowship, and have no other duties than to mutually defend one another and to work in comradery to help each other grow and prosper during times of peace. The General membership reserves the right to leave the alliance at any time except for during a time of warfare directly involving the Fellowship. They also have the right to hold a vote of no confidence should they feel that any member of the Parliament is not looking out for their best interests.

'''Article II. Admission'''

Any nation that is not a member of an alliance may apply to join FUN at our off site forums. Any nation that is not involved in an active war is welcome to apply, and if granted admittance must either have a nation team color of Maroon, or change their team color to such. The only exceptions will be nations that have to redo their trades and they will be given the time that they require in order to set up new trades. Nations may have their application rejected if their nation name or ruler name promote racism, sexism, or religious intolerance.

'''Article III. Offensive wars'''

Any member nation has the freedom to declare war upon any nation that is not part of an alliance. However any nation that declares such a war is not entitled to any assistance, be it financial, military, or political should they end up in a bad situation. Offensive wars against nations that are members of an alliance unless authorized by the Parliament will be met with immediate expulsion from the Fellowship.

'''Article IV. Conduct and expulsion'''

If a member of the Fellowship is determined to have participated in any of the following types of behavior they will be expelled from the alliance post haste:

1. Promoting or spreading hate speech, sexism, bigotry, religious intolerance or openly supporting any of the same. If you don't like certain ethnic groups, genders, religions, or nationalities then FUN is not a good home for you.

2. Declaring war on a member of any alliance without authorization from the Parliament. There are no excuses for this and if you have read the charter as required to become a member then you know not to do this.

3. Refusing to defend a fellow member. If you are only in an alliance to not get attacked then you may as well go join an alliance that does not ever get attacked. Refusing to defend a fellow alliance mate should you be called upon to do so will result in you being expelled from the alliance and not welcomed back ever.

4. Any act of espionage committed against any outside party. If you spy or are found to have obtained information that is not publicly available then you will be expelled immediately and your infrastructure will be reduced to zero.

Article V. Secrets act

As a member of the Fellowship of Unified Nations you agree not to disclose any information that is not available to the general public to anyone outside of FUN. Disclosing any such information will result in the permanent reduction of your infrastructure to zero.

Conclusion:

All members should try to enjoy the game and work together to grow as an alliance.
