\m/ Charter

\m/

I. Preamble

We stand together in times of war and leave no one behind. The Lord and Ministry makes all our decisions and we follow their commands. We establish justice and form a brotherhood of nations so that we may enjoy, grow, and protect our friends in the \m/.

II. Membership

To be a member of the \m/, you must follow the following rules:

A. - No nation who is in \m/ may be a part of another alliance during their time in \m/.
B. - Every nation must register and sign up on the \m/ forums.
C. - All nations must have their alliance affiliation set to "\m/"
D. - If you decide to resign from the \m/, post in the appropriate section, or make a new thread, on the forums.

III. Membership Rights

A. - Every nation in the \m/ has a right of free speech. All nations can speak freely about what they think is right and what they think is wrong. The only people that can stop this is the Lord and Warchief of \m/. They have the right to edit any posts or tell people not to post in certain sections. Other than that, every nation has the ability to speak their mind on the \m/ forum.
B. - Any nation can leave at any time they wish. To leave, a nation must post in the appropriate section of the forums and change their alliance affliction to not have "\m/".
C. - If a nation that has left, wants to rejoin, the Ministry will vote on whether this nation will be able to come back or not. If the nation has been there once, they will need 70% majority. If they have left two times, they will need a 90% majority to join back in. Any other times, they will need all members of the Ministry to let them in.

IV. Government

A. - The government will consist of the following:

1. - Lord - Responsible for running the alliance. He/she will be in charge of reviewing applicants as well as signing everything that happens(i.e. DoW or treaties). They will be also responsible for making sure the Ministers are doing their jobs. The Lord will appoint the hands, as many as he/she sees fit.
2. - Warchief - The Warchief is the second-in-command and will serve as long as he/she or the Lord sees fit. The Lord will appoint Warchiefs, as many as up to three. The Warchief can be demoted at any time and do not require an election, but the Lord can make an election if he/she sees fit. The Warchiefs will help with the overall running of \m/ and hold authority over the rest of the Ministry except the Lord.
3. - Minister of Defense - This minister runs the alliance's offensive and defensive war options with confirmation of the Lord
4. - Minister of Foreign Affairs - This minister runs the alliance's relations with other alliances and also processes foreign ambassador applications
5. - Minister of Internal Affairs - This minister runs the alliance's academy and education center and processes membership applications within the alliance
6. - Minister of Finance - This minister runs the alliance's tech deals, trade circles, and audits nations within \m/

B. - The Lord will serve for life. This can be changed if the Lord decides to step down. If so, the previous Lord can appoint someone else into his/her spot or can call for an election for the next Lord.
C. - All the other Ministers will hold office for 3 months. There will be an election at the end of 3 months for all of the office members.
D. - If someone is put up for impeachment, they will have to have a majority of 80% of all \m/ members to impeach them from office. An immediate election will follow for that position. The next person will only hold office the rest of the time that the other minister had left.

V. Expulsion

Any nation in \m/ that is breaking the charter can be held for expulsion. The nation will undergo a trial of the Ministry and will collect information. The Ministry will then need a 50% to remove the nation from \m/.

VI. War

A Declaration of War will be decided by a majority of 50% vote of the Ministry. If the Ministry decides to declare war, every member should help out. There will be orders given out over what to do.
If a nation of \m/ is attacked by another nation, they are free to defend themselves. If the nation attacking the \m/ member is in an alliance, we will talk to that other alliance immediately and work out the situation. If the nation attacking is not aligned, they will be punished for attacking us.
The Ministry has the decision over what to do with the nation attacked. This can be anywhere from Zero Infrastructure(ZI), demanding reparations or attacking until the nation surrenders.
No nation in the \m/ may attack another nation without approval from a Ministry member.

VII. Amendments to the Charter

This charter is subject to change at any time. This will happen with a 70% vote from the Ministry.
