We, the people of Neo Earth,script this documnet in hopes that the Holy Emperor may once agian take the throne that is rightfuly his.

I. The goverment is broken into the following areas: the Emperor, Constitutional Court, State, and City.

II. A city of 5,000 or more must have a City Council. The city council consists of 15 elected council-members and a mayor. to become a council member, one must get a petition signed by 250 different individuals, or more, determined by the state. once the petition is signed, the persons name is added to the ballot. They then campaign, but may not bribe, punishable by up to 2 years in prison and 250,000+how much the bribe was.
A council member gets 1 vote in city matters.
The mayer must be 30 or older, been a council member, and get a petition signed by 3% of the town, unless the state changes it.
The mayor may veto issues, submit issues without the citezens vote, and may expell a member, with at least 2/3 of the council supporting.

III. The state consists of a govener, a state board. There is one board member for every 5 million citezens. to be elected, boardmembers must do the same process as a city-council-member, but must have been a city-council-member for 4 years, and get a petition signed with 2,500. The govener follows the same process as a mayor, but must have been on a state board for 4 years.
Boardmembers are just council-members of the state.
Govener's powers are just the same as a mayor's, plus the ability to appoint cabinent members for sectretary-of-state, sec.-of-economy, and sec.-of-law.

IV. The Constitutional Court is the federal court that makes sure the emperor's actions are constitutional, as the state's decision. One judge per state is chosen by state boards.

V. The emperor is the leader of our nation. He/she has the power over everything. The only things the emperor may not change are: The laws I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and must obey these laws. Other then that, the emperor has complete controll.
The emperor's term is lifelong, and is chosen by the previous emperor.

VI.


"You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy"- sunday is a day when no one may work, unless the Church says so.


"Honor your father and mother"


"You shall not murder"


"You shall not commit adultery"-cheating on your spouse, or having an affair with a married person is illegal.


"You shall not steal"


"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor"

VII: Admenments
Heretics are exempt from these freedoms

1. All have the right to free speech.
2. All have the right to a fair trial
3. No religion may be banned, other then Heretics, Yevon, andThe Word.
4. All citezens have the right of Private enterprise.
5. A citezen may get a petition to change a law. The petition needs 10,000 signitures. Once that is done, it will be voted on by the citezens of a state. If passed, then the whole country must vote on the issue.

Ha! You included several of the so-called commandments in your constitution? Religion has no place in government!
