Our mission is to defend our members, create a balanced government and nurture a prosperous region. In the following pages these goals will be established.

In the defense of the region every nation is bound to defend the others. In this we shall all be more secure. As every nation becomes more powerful, we ask that they use their resources to aid the defense also. A nation enters the protection of the region after staying here for 3 days. In the event of a war, the government will take action immediately without necessary report to the region, but afterwards a full description will be given.. By order of the government the UN Delegate will temporarily loose access to the Regional Control.

The government has 5 major branches, which may be adapted and changed as the region changes. Listed below they are:


The Assembly
Everyone is a member of the Assembly, which decides most issues by vote. In your absence you can appoint someone to use your vote. This is the most important part and everyone is urged to create, debate, and vote on issues. An issue is put to vote after someone seconds it.

The Officials
Prime Minister: Directly elected by the people, he (or she) may push any issue through, which becomes law unless 2 objections are made, where it will then be put to vote. Also, nominates members on any future committees.
Speaker: The person with the second most votes. Breaks ties in voting, also creates amendments to the Assembly, which are then voted.
Ambassador: The person with the third number of votes, they keep track of international politics and manages alliances, and persuade people to join.

Ceremonial
President: Rotates every day and is given to the nation who is #1 in the UN survey. Mostly is the representative of the region, if a crisis comes. They are third in line (PM first, Speaker second). A ceremonial position, may knight nations in the future.

The Court
Supreme Court: Made of 5 members of which 4 are rotated. Alternately 1 every day. They decide if amendments are legal. If 2 judges object then they will vote its legality. Other powers may be given.

The Cabinet
