[+] The Second Rule of the Conglomerate: A Member's value is only as equal as the value said Member projects into the Conglomerate. A Member without value does not belong within the Conglomerate.

It is an entity, insofar that it is a state, a nation state and complex organisation in its own right, insofar that must be cared for and nourished with the loyalty of its members. The Conglomerate, therefore, must take top priority of all members within it before all other nations. It's reserves the ability to supersede the opinions of all members in the interest of The First Rule.

Census in regards to troops deployed must be cataloged and kept in records by both the Voice and the Hand.
[+] The Sixth Rule of the Conglomerate: Each member will adopt a Free Trade policy, as long as the production of said nations do not eliminate the market comparative advantage of another member, or places the economic sector of the nation affected into the area that may violate the First Rule and its tenets.

[+] The Eighth Rule of the Conglomerate: A member, at all times, must be defined as a Sovereign Entity, by determination of the Conglomerate. Such a definition is as follows:
- A Sovereign Entity, as accordance to the Conglomerate, is a state that carries an unchallenged method of decision making within a perceivable time frame, whereas a state is defined as an organisation that maintains a monopoly of violence within a directed territory of an unchallenged will and application, with a legal territorial claim per dictated by international regulatory law
