[edit] Charter of The Knights of the Tropic
- Main article: Charter of Knights of the Tropic
We, the undersigned leaders of sovereign empires, agree to promote national sovereignty and defend our fellow empires against outside aggression.
[edit] Article I: Admission
Any empire who pledges an oath to the Knights of the Tropic requesting membership will be accepted, granted that they are not affiliated with any other guild, and are found to be acceptable by the governing body.
[edit] Article II: Structure of the Guild
1. The Court of the Tropic
All member empires of the Knights of the Tropic are granted a seat in the Court of the Tropic. The Court is tasked with voting for members of the Council, and maintains the power of expulsion outlined in Article III.
2. The Military Structure of the Knights of the Tropic
The military structure of the Knights of the Tropic is headed by the Imperial Mashall, appointed for his or her merit in the field of war by the Emperor. The Imperial Marshall is authorized to appoint and dismiss officers at their own discretion. The Imperial Marshall and his troops are charged with creating war strategies, waging war, and awarding members who perform valiantly on the field.
3. The Emperor
The Emperor is the Sovereign of the alliance. As such, the Emperor has the sole power over the affairs of the alliance, although such powers can be delegated to others. The Emperor is the final authority on all internal and external matters. The Emperor can create any office and appoint any member to that office at his or her sole discretion. He/She is the ex officio chair of the Council, has veto power over the Council, and has the ability to block the election of specific Councilors if he sees fit to do so. The Emperor serves for life or until resignation. The Emperor will designate a replacement should the Emperor resign or die.
4. The Emperor's Staff
The Emperor may appoint various officers at his or her discretion. These officers include a Regent, a Lord, or any other title or position created at the discretion of the Emperor. The Emperor may dismiss these officers at any time.
5. The Council
The Council is charged with the day to day operations of the alliance, implementing changes put forward by the Court, and will govern the admission of new members along with the dismissal of members outside the normal expulsion terms. It is also is charged with the day to day foreign affairs and diplomacy (including the creation of ambassadors and/or embassies) of the Knights of the Tropic. They are given direct authority to speak to foreign officials in place of the Empress. The Council is given the direct authority to create any department it deems necessary to complete its task.
Councilor elections will take place every two months. Members will be nominated within the Court beginning one week before the election date. Each member is only allowed to nominate one member. At the end of the nomination period a public vote will take place within the Court. The top four vote recipients will be named to the Council. The Empress chairs both Councils.
[edit] Article III: Expulsion from the Alliance
Any nation can submit a motion to expel a fellow member from the alliance before the Court. In order for the motion to carry 75% + 1 of the voting nations must vote in favor of the expulsion. There will be a time limit of 36 hours on expulsion votes. If the percentage is not reached before the time limit the motion fails. The Emperor can not be expelled from the alliance unless proof of treason can be submitted. Likewise, the Emperor can pardon any member from expulsion.
[edit] Article IV: Amendments to the Charter
Any member can submit a motion to amend the Charter to the Court floor. Discussion will take place for a period of no less than 8 hours but no more than 36 hours. If a supermajority (defined herein as 75% + 1) of the member nations voice support for the amendment before the 36 hour time limit is reached then the motion will be considered passed and carried. If it does not reach the supermajority before the 36 hour limit the motion will fail.
