"You could fit half a million employees in that building - although really as a general guide my government was thinking that a capacity of about 50,000-200,000 would be about right; so such a building would give plenty of space for expansion," he said approvingly.

The Imperium of Aravea General Arcturus Nile The Karlæsist Meritocracy of Chilokver Foreign Minister Ian Whiteway The Aestorian Commonwealth Prime Minister His Royal Highness Richard Terefort-Kazpia Suspension not Expulsion Act Resolution Number: [13a] Accepting that while the usage of powers mentioned in Resolution 0 are necessary, they have caused a great deal of controversy as to their interpretation. The Council would like to cite the following phrase in Resolution 0: "the Prime Minister can maintain wide discretionary powers to carry out his duties without government complicated legislation". Noting that these ill-defined discretionary powers can, have and will serve as sources of the ongoing disputes in the Council, Noting that the Prime Minister shall not have the power to remove members of the coalition without due cause before submitting any expulsion proposals to the Council, shall not be able to remove members for any disagreements with the PM, shall not be able to remove members for abstaining or voting nay on resolutions, shall not remove members based upon past quarrels. Recalling Clause 4, Subsection 1, Section 3 of the Administrative Act, which 'Permits the Cabinet and any appointed Executive Ministers, under the direction of the Prime Minister, to otherwise interpret Council Resolutions and to take any measures not contrary to Council Resolutions that such empowered persons may consider necessary and proper for carrying out the delineated tasks of government, without waiting for the Council to discuss such matters', Recalling Subsection 2, Section 2, of the Administrative Act, which confirms the legislative supremacy of the Council, and their ability to make the final judgement upon all interpretation of resolutions, Also desirous of avoiding similar drawn-out crises in future, The Council endeavors to: 1. Establish the circumstances under which a member of the Coalition may be removed. 2. Clarify additional usage of the Prime Minister and Cabinet's powers in regards to the suspension not expulsion of members. The Council, repealing and replacing Resolutions 3 and 5 as follows, hereby declares: Section 1 1. Only the Council shall be empowered to expel members. 2. Such expulsion of members may henceforth only be made under the following circumstances: a) Having governmental policies that conflict with the democratic values of the Coalition or enacting policies that promote prejudicial discrimination. b) Engaging in armed conflict with another member of the IFC. c) Subverting the authority and legislation of the Council. d) Supporting or assisting enemies of the IFC. e) Engaging in treasonous acts or aiding and abetting opponents of the Coalition in cases of crisis or during times of war. 3. A two-thirds supermajority or the approval of the Cabinet shall normally be required to expel a member. Section 2 1. Establishes that the Prime Minister under Resolution 3 shall have the power to submit legislation to the Council, call for votes on legislation in the absence of Speaker or his deputies, call sessions of the Council, and name members of the cabinet. 2. Directs the Speaker and the Prime Minister, (a) when there is dispute over the legality of an action of the government and when either consider it proper, or (b) if at least five Council members request it, or (c) if a motion is passed requesting it, to formally consider the legality of the action and to promptly present their joint or distinct opinions for a vote in the Council or, if Resolution 12b is in force, to present their opinions to the Judicial Committee. Section 3 1. Amends Resolution 9 Part 2 Section 2 Clause 9 to: “Accepts that the Cabinet has the power to suspend members but not to expel them, and declares that no suspension shall last longer than a Prime Minister’s term plus one week.” 2. Amends Clause 11 from the same Section to read: “Directs the Prime Minister, in times of severe and demonstrable urgency, to suspend members. 3. Repeals Clauses 2 and 5 from the same Section and renumbers clauses as appropriate. 4. Specifies that the Council should vote promptly on whether to approve or reverse government-ordered suspensions. Finally noting that the purpose of this resolution is not to limit the ability of the Prime Minister to govern, except where that ability substantially interferes with the democratic values of the IFC and fails to uphold its members personal rights, Signed, [Arcturus Nile, Imperium of Aravea] [Ian Whiteway, Kalræsist Meritocracy of Chilokver] [His Grace Alexias Stella, The Imperial Commonwealth of Libraria and Ausitoria] |

Libraria and Ausitoria wrote:"Thank you very much," nodded the Prime Minister, as the Technocratic delegation arrived, and the Foreign Secretary slipped out, "and also, please do thank your government for their generous contribution to the IFC. We would also like to thank the Jedorian Confederation for their contribution.
And with that delightful demonstration of cohesive spirit, may I introduce Sir Frederick Styles as our next ambassador extraordinaire to the IFC," he said.
Frederick appeared, taking the seat vacated by the Foreign Secretary. He was a tall, thin, dark man, with wavy hair and an assured poise. "Thank you," he said, and immediately got to business.
"While we consider immediate projects and structural improvements in the Ministry of Defence, we have noted that there are multiple IFC members involved in the Zelphos civil war, in defending a democratic government against an upstart military dictator. In such situations there is, in our minds, a relatively unambiguous case for liberal democratic intervention, particularly now that we have a well-equipped rapid-reaction force. I wonder whether members could please state their positions on the matter?" He peered around the table.

Democratic Republic of Salderia Katherine Archer Aestorian Commonwealth Frederick Styles Separation of Military Powers Resolution Number: 15 Recognizing the effective end of the post of Secretary General as an independent check on the powers of the Prime Minister, Recognizing the might of the Rapid Response Force (RRF), and its potential for political influence while under direct control by the Prime Minister of the International Freedom Coalition (IFC), Worrying that any Prime Minister would be able to use his/her direct power of the military to abuse his/her appointed power, Desirous of dividing the military posts into the Commander-in-Chief, the Minister of Defence, and the Commander of the RRF (CRRF), Desirous of ensuring professional and long-term government, The Council hereby declares: 1. The post of Secretary-General and the post of Prime Minister shall be considered indivisible. 2. All instances of the words ‘Supreme Allied Commander’ in legislation shall be replaced with the term ‘Secretary-General’, and the Secretary-General/Prime Minister shall be the Commander-in-Chief of the Military. 3. The CRRF should normally have full tactical command of the military wing of the IFC during engagements, while giving reports to the MoD and C-i-C, with the C-i-C giving broad policy decisions for the MoD and CRRF to initiate. 4. Oversight of this arrangement shall be conducted by the IFC Council to ensure no power is abused by any party. Signed, Katherine Archer, Salderia Frederick Styles, Aestoria |

1. Should there be any reforms to the government, and if so what?
1a. Should there be a Minister in charge of Recruitment?
1b. Now that we have a more balanced and diverse number of members anyway, should we invite back some former members, e.g. Aravea, Brytene, Greater Carloso, Feng, IYF?
1c. Should a permanent branch of government be introduced for administrative purposes?
2. Should there be a formal opposition designated?
2a. If so should a leader be appointed by the government - e.g. whoever has opposed the previous government most being in charge? (Judging by the voting record, I think that would be Ontorisa or Guadalupador or Roski, if any of them wanted the job. I should note I am excluding URA and Flardania from this list as they are otherwise involved in the government. I should also note if Aravea, Feng, or IYF were re-admitted they would all also be strong contenders).
2c. Or should a leader of the opposition be elected, and if so should it only be by those who want to be in the opposition, or everybody, or a mixture of both (say 2 votes for members of the opposition and 1 vote for everybody else)?
2d. Or should we allow parties to coalesce naturally if nations want them to form, and not push the system on anyone?
3. What would members like to be done economically (if anything)?
3a. Could all members please state any GE&T businesses they would like the IFC to support?
3b. What interest would members have in a bank, and would they object if Erenifa was put in charge of it as Deputy Minister?
3c. What members would be interested in optional tax treaties?
3d. What members would be interested in optional trade treaties?
3e. What members would be interested in optional industrial connections?
4. What should the defence department work on first?
4a. Which joint equipment program should we work on first: Navy, Tanks, Fighters, or Munitions?
4b. What should we prioritize out of special forces, training/exercises, and force restructuring?
5. Should we conduct a Strategic Defense Review?
5a. Are there any members interested in analysis of strategy?

2 No, I believe that bloc-voting would cause significant issues.
3. What would members like to be done economically (if anything)?
3a. Could all members please state any GE&T businesses they would like the IFC to support?
3b. What interest would members have in a bank, and would they object if Erenifa was put in charge of it as Deputy Minister?
3c. What members would be interested in optional tax treaties?
3d. What members would be interested in optional trade treaties?
3e. What members would be interested in optional industrial connections?
3. Everyone should contribute more money to the IFC, be it to specific branches or to be spread evenly.

4a. Which joint equipment program should we work on first: Navy, Tanks, Fighters, or Munitions?

4. It should be used more, even if only to get some use out of it.
4a and b. Any, no preference.
5. Should we conduct a Strategic Defense Review?
5a. Are there any members interested in analysis of strategy?
5 and a. Yes.
