Discussion about the Holy Historian Confederation

[Neuve Zealandia]

Basically just post ideas and discussion in this thread

[Roma MA]

As many of you know, when determined, we as a community can accomplish our goals. Though under normal circumstances we're usually at eachother's throats. I site our message board.

"I propose a resolution. Embargo all trade with Nuevo Illyria. Any nation a part of the Holy Historian Confederation caught trading with Nuevo Illyria is forced to go into vacation mode for a week. If evidence that nation has logged on to NationStates within that week of exile, they are expelled from the Confederation."

For this reason I sugjest we establish a congress of sorts. Similar to that of a republic. The nations of this region can discuss subjects that pretain to our region which are deemed important. We can decide upon policies, guidlines, et cetera. This will allow us enough free will to still be in control of our future, but at the same time limit our sometimes harmful nature. While some of you may ask "What's the point of an organized congress if we have Surpreme Leader?". Well, we don't want to bore him to death. Ultimately, I suppose we'll just be a wax stamp, but its important to be organized.

I now declare a Regional competition to write our Constitution. I do this by my power as the First Centurion of Limitanei. May Surpreme Leader be of aprooval in this action, of course. I would also hope to have us vote on the final choice, but an excecution like that is above my pay grade.

I second this. However we need to find out how we would organize said congress, and where it would be hosted

[Mandchourie]

Article 1. Every member of the Holy Historian Confederation must maintain a decent army and honour the expectation of generations of fallen warrior through history by winning on the battlefield.

Article 2. The Princess of Mandchourie is the cutest and the purest.

Article 3. Education should be mandatory in Confederation states so every citizen know basic world history.

Article 4. Don't forget that the Princess of Mandchourie is the cutest and the purest.

Article 5. Hiroyuki killed Moot the sinner so we can get our /his/ board. He should be revered as he deserve.

Article 6. Did I mention that the Princess of Mandchourie is the cutest and the purest?

[Neuve Zealandia]

So first we have to work out what the officer jobs/titles should be. We have a mechanism for electing them in the build in polls system.

Office titles are given out by the Surpreme Leader. You forget this. We are the senate. He is Augustus. We are mearly a wax stamp. He chooses his officers. I says this as one today, if that were to change tomorrow- my voice on the matter would not.

[Neuve Zealandia]

The First Draft of the Constitution of the Holy Historian Confederation,

Article The First
Upon the suggestion of His most learned Number 2, Shanix, The Supreme Leader has concurred that it is time that the our most glorious confederation be managed in a more ordered manner. Therefore, the Supreme Leader does set out the following Officers that shall aid in the management of
1)
2)
3)
4)
These officers shall be elected by means of a polling election, managed by either the Supreme Leader or (name of officer in charge of polling). This shall reflect the desire of the Supreme Leader to allow the Holy Historian Confederation to prosper and grow at times where He may not be able to influence it overly. These can be called at the discretion of the (Polls officer) upon much agitation on the Message Boards or by Command of the Supreme Leader or the Delegate, should they feel that the current administration are blatantly mishandling their powers.

Article the Second
Also recognising that He wields great, unrestricted power that could be destructive to the Confederation, the Supreme Leader shall attempt to only utilise His powers with great discretion, and preferably only at the request of Members of the Congress or to reflect the

Article the Third
The Supreme Leader wishes to make clear certain rights that He believes are necessary for the preservation of the Confederation:
1) Believing that the Right to Free Speech is essential to the growth and health of the Confederation, censureship shall only be used in extreme matters. This may include spamming, but not hateful comments as these can lead to instructive debate.

Authorized by the Supreme Leader, who by the Grace of The Holy Hiroyuki did create this Confederation of Nations in the Year of 2015 Anno Domini

[Gagauz Tarcil Budjak and Dobruj Peoples]

I like Mandchourie's Odd Numbered Articles (1, 3, and 5). I also like Neuve Zealandia's First Draft too.

Also praise our lord and savior Hiroyuki

[Nuevo Illyria]

Article 2. The Princess of Mandchourie is the cutest and the purest.

Article 4. Don't forget that the Princess of Mandchourie is the cutest and the purest.

Article 6. Did I mention that the Princess of Mandchourie is the cutest and the purest?

This is my draft. Please feel free to steal from, or add to it.

Only amendments I'd make would be reducing votes need to pass an act to a simple majority, but keep the 2/3 supermajority for amendments to the constitutions

[Menkhu]

Does the confederation have a goal/purpose, or is it just here to bring users from /his/ together?
Do we need a constitution?

I feel these questions should be answered before we get too far ahead of ourselves.

Without a form of government we'll just be a region with a ruler and some officers. A form of Democracy (as shown above) is the best chance we have at achieving things as a region. What is our goal? To enjoy ourselves. Maybe give out a few bloody noses along the way. That isn't for me to decide. It's for us to decide. A Constitution is required as a form of guidelines so that shit doesn't hit the fan, and if it does, it isn't as bad.

I made the adjustments. They're in the first article.

[Menkhu]

Fair enough. I'm fine with any type of constitution as long as it doesn't exert excessive control over the confederacy's member nations.

Well that's kinda the point of a Confederacy right? To be a loosely organized form of state.

[Occasus Portus]

I would like to suggest this.

ARTICLE 5

Section 1
A Holy Council consisting of the Senate Officers will discuss and debate religious issues and vote on new Canon Laws.

Section 2
Supreme Leader Neuve Zealandia has the same authority and priority in the Holy Council as in the Senate. See Article 4 Section 3.

Section 3
An Officer chosen by the Supreme Leader will have more power than the other Officers in the Holy Council but will still have less power than the Supreme Leader. This position exists in the event that Supreme Leader is not present at the Holy Council, however if how a religious issue was solved is not to the pleasure of Supreme Leader it must be repealed and revisited.

Section 4 3
Canon Laws can be proposed by any Officer,however the High Bishop will have priority over the other Officers in the Holy Council, though the Supreme Leader has priority over all.

I was thinking that the Holy Council consist of different nations than the Senate, but due to the religious aspects of the Officers as Bishops, I was forced to rewrite my proposition. If it can be agreed that the Officers have a religious role but do not have power in the Holy Council then I can rewrite it to my original draft.\

EDIT: I should have made it clearer that this was an add on to Rome MA's constitution.

[Hithlia]

Here's my version of a Constitution. Please, make any suggestions and amendments where you wish.

Constitution of the Holy Historian Confederation

Section Two – Amendments to this Constitution require Nations of the Region to collectively agree. An agreement of this magnitude requires three-fourths of votes in favor of amending the Constitution.

[Roma MA]

Sorry for not linking your post Occasus. It's hhard on my tablet. The only problem I have with that is it'll uplift some of the senators to a more holy status. It would lead to having two power houses. And since Supreme leader is our sole religious leader. I (personally) believe only he should decide our religious beliefs and laws.

[Shanix]

Reformatted, looks nicer. Text fits a Religious Confederation.

[Menkhu]

We need to devise a succession policy, in case something happens to the Supreme Leader. I also think it is foolish to refer to the current Supreme Leader in name in the constitution.
I know this might seem like an overly pessimistic suggestion, given the young age of our confederacy, but many nations and empires have fallen because they considered their leader immortal.

Here's my version of a Constitution. Please, make any suggestions and amendments where you wish.

This is fantastic. The best one I've seen yet.
