The Charter of CLAWS[]
Preamble: We the nations of CLAWS have come together to benefit from combined governance, guidance, and independence.
Governance: CLAWS is led through the dual leadership of two individuals. The two make all the decisions and are the only people who have plenipotentiary power for the alliance. Both individuals need to agree in order to bind the alliance. In the event that the two leaders hold opposite views and are unable to sort it out to come to a decision through discussion, the Grand Inquisitor casts a vote for one of the two stances taken by the leaders and that is the decision of the alliance. Due to the fact that the Grand Inquisitor may be called upon at any time, that position has access to the same information as the leadership and may express an opinion on the issues as well. If and when the Grand Inquisitor is called to make the final decision is something that remains private. Once a decision is made, that's the decision of the alliance. The alliance leadership may appoint other positions as needed, however they all serve at the pleasure of of the leadership and may be removed for any reason (or none at all) by the leadership.
Membership and Application process: To become a part of CLAWS a nation must join the alliance in-game. Leadership with then reach out to the applicant and begin discussion for membership. If desired the applicants can send a message to a government member requesting their intent to join to speed up the process. It is required that all new member join CLAWS discords server.
Applicants must not be engaged in any acts of aggression against another alliance, or considered to be in a state of war with another alliance, or under reparations from any conflict. An applicant that exhibits these qualities will remain pending to the alliance and possible removed. Applicants are required to join Discord and meet specific requirements before becoming full members.
Raiding: Unprovoked attacks or use of spies against a member of another sovereign alliance are strictly prohibited. Any who fail to abide this restriction will be held responsible for any and all reparations due, and may be subjected to retaliatory measures including but not limited to military intervention. Repeated failure to abide this restriction and/or failure to make satisfactory reparations in an acceptable time frame will result in expulsion.
Skirmishing against unaligned nations are understood to be performed at one's own risk and peril. One who appears weak may fight back savagely. Above all, it is expected that all members conduct themselves honorably. Extortion and/or other harassment of any kind are not to be tolerated. CLAWS encourages member to offer peace at the request of the unaligned nation being attacked.
Wars and Rogues: If any member of CLAWS receives a conducted spy op, declaration of war, or threats from inside or outside of the alliance they should be reported to a government member as soon as possible. Acts of violets against any member of CLAWS will not be acceptable.
Tech Sales and Aiding: All tech deals should be labeled with the reasoning as the deal intended (i.e. 6/100 or 9/200). All deals not clearly labeled will be assumed as a 1:1 deal. If a tech seller is active an is not sending the amount due, please contact leadership to follow-up.
Any tech seller that receives a deal while in a government assigned war will accept the deal as war aid. The buyer may or may not be reimbursed through other means, but is the buyers responsibility to check war screens before sending tech deals.
All nations if called upon should be willing and able to deliver war aid. If the alliance is in the state of war, all nations should cease tech dealing and provide aid.
Grievances and Violations: Disrespect, cowardice and/or fraud in any form will not be tolerated, and offenders will be subjected to punitive action including but not limited to immediate expulsion.
A member nation may depart during times of peace if desired, but is expected to repay any loans or grants or tech deals accepted. No member should leave during time of war or when alliance leadership has declared (through an internal process) that the threat of war exists. If this happens, the nation has not left in good standing and penalties/punishment are very likely to be applied.
If any nation has any complaints with any member of CLAWS a government member should be notified, internal alliance conflicts will not be tolerated.
Amending the Charter: Any CLAWS nation can ask for an edit to the charter. The two leaders will then discuss the proposal and deem if it’s a necessary update to the document.
