Tempest

= Charter of Tempest =

Preamble: The Cyberverse is a place of great turmoil. We of Tempest wish to carve out a small piece of the chaos that is Planet Bob for our own; a small place where we can feel safe and that we can call home. It is with this goal in mind that we hereby create the alliance of Tempest.

Section 1: Government

The government of Tempest will be a hybrid of a monarchy and a democracy. Each section of the government will operate characteristically.

Sub section 1: Positions

I.Autarch: The leader of Tempest is a permanent monarch, named the Autarch. The Autarch has complete control over the alliance and final say in matters of war and diplomacy. The decrees of the Autarch are subject to veto either by the Regent, or by a 3/4 vote of the current ministers and senate.

II.Minister of Internal Affairs(MoIA): The adviser to the Autarch on the internal affairs of the alliance. The MoIA is also responsible for masking and admissions to the alliance. Forum maintenance also falls under the duties of the MoIA.

III.Minister of Defense(MoD): The adviser to the Autarch on all matters military. Also responsible for coordinating the military structure with the Thunder God and Lord of Lightning (explained later on).

IV.Minister of Foreign Affairs(MoFA): Adviser as to the current happenings of the cyberverse. The MoFA is also responsible for making embassies and maintaining foreign relationships.

V.Minister of Finance(MoF): The MoF is responsible for setting up and maintaining Tempest's trade circles and bank nations. The MoF is an adviser as the rest of ministers are, to the Autarch.

VI.Regent: The Regent acts as the direct subordinate of the Autarch. He is second in command in the alliance and has the ability to veto any of the Autrach's decrees. These vetos can be overridden by a 3/4 vote of the current ministers and senate. Along with the MoFA and Autrach, he acts as a chief diplomat to foreign alliances, and generally works to aid the other ministers in their endeavors to run Tempest smoothly.
