Associate Accords of the Association of Trading Nations
The Association is an economic and military alliance, we are run through a system of representatives of each nation. Each nation gets a number of senators based on their nations population, this means each nation has power to create laws. Joining political blocs will allow combination votes, so getting your friends to join can help you become leader one day.
The Association will have its own forums up soon for now though all messages and the like will be done on here. Below is the constitution created by New Azura and Me, with outline done by Northern Baltic and Clamparapa.
Article I
Herein lies the clear and unequivocal causation for the necessity of a governing presence to serve as a defender of the principles upon which this associated body was founded, which must come to pass in order to procure and protect the functions and rights of this associated body, and that it may bear the fruits of the labors of its members. Henceforth, to establish due process of the founder of this associated body, these Accords to hereby decree in good faith that the Empire of Ralkovia is to be considered the Overseer of this associated body; to retain the privilege of accepting new member-states into this associated body, and to override or reinstate any decision made by the governance of this associated body, including but not limited to the passage of resolutions, statutes, laws, amendments, appointments, the acceptance of new member-states, and the banishment of existing member-states, with all the rights and processes accorded therein.
Article II
Herein lies the clear and unequivocal causation for the necessity of a governing legislative body, which must come to pass in order to procure and protect the functions and rights of this associated body; that it may bear the fruits of the labors of its members. Henceforth, to secure the primary goals of this associated body, and to guarantee an equitable and proper bestowment of legislative authority, these Accords do in good conscience authorize the establishment of a unicameral House of Nations, which shall act as the primary legislative authority of this associated body.
Section I
The House of Nations is to be partitioned in accordance with the terms set by these Accords. All governing seats in such a unicameral legislature are to be given to the member-states of this associated body, with preference given to the more populous nations with due entitlement. Hereafter, member-states in league with these Accords are to be awarded seats of governance in this legislative body with no less than one diplomat, who shall serve in good faith as the legal representative of their respective nation, with the full authority and privileges granted therein. From this time forth, member-states whose population may be divisible by five hundred million people are to be granted additional representative, to be allocated the same rights as his or her predecessor, with such a total determined by the quotient of the division of the member-state‘s population by five hundred million, plus one additional seat. The accruement of a national population shall for the purposes of these Accords serve as sufficient cause for the awarding of additional seats of governance in this House of Nations, with all the privileges and rights afforded to his or her predecessors, to be repeated without cessation for the duration of the member-state’s tenure with this associated body, not withstanding any circumstantial change in said policy made by a forthcoming amendment to these Accords. Those member-states whose population fails to reach a statute that stands divisible by five hundred million people upon entrance to this associated body are to be allotted one representative to serve on behalf of their nation, until such a time that they may be privy to the luxuries granted to nations several times their stature, in accordance with the delegation process previously established.
Section II
The lawful delegates appointed to represent their respective member nations are hereby granted the following rights and privileges as representatives in this legislative body. Such functions are the expected duties of a representative for the duration of their service in the House of Nations.
A. Delegate-Representatives are hereby granted the authority to levy taxes upon the member-states in league with this associated body; to create the necessary procedural regulations for the establishment of a military draft; to make declarations of war that shall encompass the spectrum of activities such an associated body would be engaged in; to levy votes of no confidence against the General Secretary of this associated body; to amend the terms and substantive meaning of these Accords, or to further express such colloquial customs held in trust by this associated body that may be deemed worthy of inclusion in these Accords; and to speak on behalf of the member-states that they stand to serve, inasmuch that they may represent their nation at such a time when the airing of grievances must be made known to the legislative body at large.
B. This legislative body retains the right to levy taxes against the member-states of this associated body, with the full provincial authority to raise such an excise as would be necessary to maintain the seminal workings of this alliance. Such levies may be considered lawful upon the accruement of a plurality of delegate-representatives who shall cast a vote in favor of the levying of a tax or taxes. A plurality in such an event would constitute no less than fifty-one percent of the sitting body of the House of Nations.
C. This legislative body retains the right to amend the substance of these Accords for the betterment of this associated body, to be handled with the utmost concern for the viability and the relevance of these written statutes. In the event an amendment is required of these Accords, such an amendment must reach quorum by way of a public vote involving the delegate-representatives. Quorum in the matters of a proposed amendment to these Accords is hereby constituted to stand as no less than two-thirds of the sitting body of the House of Nations. Should such a proposal achieve quorum, it may be signed into law upon the accruement of a plurality of delegate-representatives who shall cast a vote in favor of the amendment. A plurality in such an event would constitute no less than three-fourths of the sitting body of the House of Nations. Upon the ratification of such an amendment, the statute would henceforth be immediately binding upon the member-states of this associated body.
D. This legislative body retains the right to establish declarations of war against a nation or alliance of nations, constitute the procedural regulations for the establishment of a military draft, and to procure the achievable and sustainable goals of this associated body through means of the drafting of laws and statutes not otherwise classified as amendments to these Accords. Such measures may be considered lawful upon the accruement of a plurality of delegate-representatives who shall cast a vote in favor of the measure. A plurality in such an event would constitute no less than fifty-one percent of the sitting body of the House of Nations.
E. This legislative body retains the right to procure a vote of no confidence against the sitting General Secretary, in such a manner that includes, but is not limited to, the following charges: dereliction of duty, unabashed and incalculable endangerment of the associated body at large, treason of the highest order, and other insufferable acts of misconduct. To establish the determination of a vote of no confidence, such a motion must obtain quorum prior to the literal vote on the political fate of the General Secretary. Quorum in the matters of a proposed vote of no confidence is hereby constituted to stand as no less than thirty affirming votes from the sitting delegate-representatives in the House of Nations. Upon the establishment of quorum, a vote of no confidence may be made against the General Secretary pending the outcome of a public vote, to be held by the sitting delegate-representatives of the legislative body. If a plurality of affirming votes are cast, which is hereby constituted for the purposes of this matter as fifty-one percent of the sitting legislative body, then a vote of no confidence shall be cast against the sitting General Secretary. Such a measure shall henceforth stand as sufficient cause to remove the Secretary General from the post they had served.
Section III
Whilst the provisions afforded the delegate-representatives of this legislative body have been made stand perfunctorily, the responsibilities of the sitting representatives stems from their authority to represent their respective member-states, and from their authority to voice the concerns of their constituencies by means of a public debate and revision, followed thereafter, if necessary, by a general vote of the legislative body. The requirement of a general and sufficient vote in legislative affairs preordains the need for a procedural guideline of regulations that should stand to direct the legislative body in such matters. Henceforth, the following regulations have been enacted to provide a provisional statute by which the legislative body may review when calling for a general vote.
A. In such a case where quorum is necessary in order to proceed with the drafting of a resolution, all member nations shall cast their vote at such a time delegated for voting, to be set forth by the sitting General Secretary. All votes are to be counted following the conclusion of the voting period, which in matters of quorum is hereby constituted to stand as no less than one hour, and no more than twenty-four hours. Should a sitting delegate-representative refrain from casting an affirming or dissenting vote in matters of quorum, such an abstention shall be recorded as a dissenting vote.
B. In such a case when a final vote is to be held in order to proceed with the drafting of a resolution, all member nations shall cast their vote at such a time delegated for voting, to be set forth by the sitting General Secretary. All votes are to be counted following the conclusion of the voting period, which in matters of a final vote is hereby constituted to stand as no less than one hour and no more than twenty-four hours. Should a sitting delegate-representative refrain from casting an affirming or dissenting vote in matters of a final vote, such an abstention shall be recorded as a dissenting vote.
C. In such a case when a final vote is needed in the circumstances whereby the legislative body is prepared to make a declaration of war, all member nations shall cast their vote at such a time delegated for voting, to be set forth by the General Secretary. All votes are to be counted following the conclusion of the voting period, which in matters of a final vote is hereby constituted to stand as no less than one hour and no more than twelve hours. Should a sitting delegate-representative refrain from casting an affirming or dissenting vote in matters of a final vote, such an abstention shall be recorded as an affirming vote, for the safety and viability of the associated body.
Unless otherwise dictated by a forthcoming amendment to these Accords, all manners of a general or emergency vote are to be conducted with civility and professionalism by the delegate-representatives who are to take part. All votes should be preceded by a period of civil discourse regarding the nature of the resolution at hand, for such a period that the due process of the legislative mandate may be achieved. In the event of a pressing emergency, the General Secretary may reserve the right to suspend public discourse on a proposal or resolution in light of time concerns. In order to begin a vote on quorum or the final vote on a resolution, the measure must be motioned by a delegate-representative, and must be seconded by another delegate-representative who does not stand to serve the same member-state as the first delegate-representative. The General Secretary reserves the right to bypass this process in the event that the House of Nations should convene to vote on a declaration of war. In such an event, the General Secretary reserves the right to determine the beginning of the voting period on such a measure as defined herein.
Article III
Herein lies the clear and unequivocal causation for the necessity of a governing figurehead, which must be instituted in order to preserve the tenants of the legislative body and to defend these Accords with diplomacy and military force. Henceforth, to secure the primary goals of this associated body, and to guarantee an equitable and proper distribution of authority amongst the delegate-representatives of the legislative body, these Accords do in good conscience authorize the establishment of the Office of the General Secretary, which shall hereafter stand as the highest political office in this associated body. The role of General Secretary shall be constituted to stand as the chief executive officer of this associated body.
Section I
The General Secretary of the Association of Trading Nations is granted the authority of the usage of an executive veto, which may be used to block any resolution, legislation, declaration, or amendment with which he or she personally objects to. Such a procedure would stand to serve as the necessitating cause for the legislation in question to be returned to the House of Nations. Such legislation would then require a plurality of the vote, which is hereby constituted to stand as sixty-six percent of the sitting delegate-representatives. Should such a piece of legislation receive this plurality through a vote, the General Secretary will be required henceforth to sign such legislation into law.
Section II
The General Secretary of the Association of Trading Nations is hereby granted the authority to appoint a military campaign leader, who shall serve along with his nation as the figurehead of a military campaign as deemed necessary by the legislative body, through the means of a formal declaration of war.
Section III
The General Secretary of the Association of Trading Nations is hereby granted the authority to appoint a judiciary to the Grand Court of the associated body. Such an appointment will serve without cessation until such a time as the appointee resigns from his or her position, or is medically unable to continue serving on the bench.
Section IV
The General Secretary of the Association of Trading Nations shall stand to retain the authority vested in him by these Accords to draw in good conscience draft and present to the House of Nations the causation for the dismissal or banishment of a member-state from the associated body, with the shared responsibility and privileges accorded thereafter to the Empire of Ralkovia. Should such a motion be presented, a plurality of fifty-one percent of the vote in affirmation of the motion to dismiss or banish the member-state in question will bring such a case before the Empire of Ralkovia, or the Grand Court of Justices, who shall decide whether to eject or retain the member-state in question.
Section V
The General Secretary of the Association of Trading Nations shall serve in this capacity until such a time that the General Secretary resigns from his position, or is no longer able to carry out the duties expected of his or her position due to illnesses or death, or is removed from office through a vote of no confidence, to be levied by the sitting legislative body. A new General Secretary would be chosen thereafter by a nomination made by the leading political party of the legislative body, or by the Black Hand organization with all the customs and trust vested therein.
Article IV
Herein lies the clear and unequivocal causation for the necessity of a governing judicial body, which must come to pass in order to validate the functions and rights of this associated body. Henceforth, to secure the primary goals of this associated body, and to guarantee the legality of the legislative and executive mandates of this associated body, these Accords do in good conscience authorize the establishment of the Grand Court of Justices, which shall act as the primary judicial authority of this associated body, to be comprised of forty-nine Grand Judges who are appointed by the sitting General Secretary.
Section I
The Grand Judges of the Grand Court of Justices are henceforth affording the right to remain on the judicial bench for the duration of their life, with the exception of a Judge’s desire to reign from his or her position due to illness or other mitigating circumstances.
Section II
The Grand Judges of the Grand Court of Justices reserve the authority to overrule any declaration, resolution, statute, referendum, or amendment voted on by the House of Nations and signed into law by the General Secretary without the need to give sufficient cause or reasoning. In addition, Grand Judges maintain the sole authority to draft sanctions, reprimands, and punishments that are to be levied against member-states, sitting delegate-representatives, or other nations or alliances that exist outside of the sphere of influence maintained by this associated body. Furthermore, the Grand Court of Justices maintains the legal authority to place any political official in league with this associated body as a delegate-representative under arrest for instigating or participating in a criminal or treasonous act against the associated body.
Article V
In recognizing the necessity of continued amicable relations between the member-states in league with this associated body to contribute to the stability and economic, political, and militant feasibility of this Association of Trading Nations, these Accords hereby proclaim that all member-states in league with this associated body are to engage in the practices of free trade with other member-nations, to refrain from the practice of piracy against other member-states in league with this associated body, and to refrain from committing an act of war against other member-states in league with this associated body, under penalty of expulsion from this Association.
Article VI
In recognizing the necessity of continued amicable relations between the member-states in league with this associated body to contribute to the stability and economic, political, and militant feasibility of this Association of Trading Nations, these Accords hereby proclaim that all member-states in league with this associative body are to come to the defense of other member-states who have come under attack from another nation, or alliance of nations, in acting with due vigilance and respect for the allied member-states of this associated body.
Herein lies the clear and unequivocal causation for the necessity of a governing presence to serve as a defender of the principles upon which this associated body was founded, which must come to pass in order to procure and protect the functions and rights of this associated body, and that it may bear the fruits of the labors of its members. Henceforth, to establish due process of the founder of this associated body, these Accords to hereby decree in good faith that the Empire of Ralkovia is to be considered the Overseer of this associated body; to retain the privilege of accepting new member-states into this associated body, and to override or reinstate any decision made by the governance of this associated body, including but not limited to the passage of resolutions, statutes, laws, amendments, appointments, the acceptance of new member-states, and the banishment of existing member-states, with all the rights and processes accorded therein.
