Alliance Constitution -

Preamble: We, the Interstellar Alliance of Worlds, agree that we shall promote peace and prosperity throughout our respective domains, as well as trade.

1 - Rights and responsibilities of Member Nations

Every, and any member nation has these rights:
To have the right to speak within the Council
The right to have the Alliance not interfere with their internal affairs.
The right to their own laws.
The right to receive aid, if they so need it.
The right to declare war, and embargoes, on non-Alliance nations.
The right to their own borders.
The right to trade with all Alliance nations.

They also have these responsibilities:

The responsibility to speak the truth within the Council
The responsibility to allow others to speak within the Council
The responsiblity to not interfere with others, without their permission.
The responsibility to allow other Alliance nations their laws.
The responsibility to give aid, if other nations need it.
The responsibility to allow others to declare war.
The responsibility to not trangress on others' borders.
The responsibility to allow trade.

2 - The Alliance Council

The Alliance Council is made up of all the nations, at any one time. Any Alliance nation can vote, however, there are a few special rules.

1 - The High Councillors, are a group of three Councillors, who are given executive powers in case of an emergency. The Alliance Council must vote these High Councillors in, and then vote on their executive powers. In case of an invasion of an Alliance nation, the High Councillors can automatically take executive control, in order to make quick, and decisive decisions. The Alliance Council can vote away their executive powers at any time.

2 - The Alliance Leader is a single person, voted in by the entire Alliance. He or she is a moderator, and makes sure the forums are kept clean, and keeps the peace in the Alliance. Whenever a decision is made, this person, chosen for their diplomatic skill, presents it on behalf of the entire Alliance. However, the Alliance Leader can not vote in normal Alliance matters, in order to balance out their powers.

3 - The Alliance Fleet Admiral is the person, chosen to lead national fleets in battle, that the actual person does not have time to lead. (For instance, if you're away, and can't lead your fleets, and you give your permission, this person can lead them on your behalf).

3 - War

War, in the Alliance, is a simple matter. You are required to donate, in either ships or money, each year, to gain the benefits of the Interstellar Fleet. This Fleet is made up of all the donations, and be requisitioned by any nation who needs help. In this way, the Alliance Council has a fleet they can control.

If an Alliance nation declares war on any non-Alliance nation, no Alliance nation is required to aid them.

However, if a non-Alliance nation declares war on an Alliance nation, every nation is required, unless they can give a good reason for their absence, to aid the beleaguered nation. This aid may be in the form of ships, resources, anything tangible, and, it may be set aside in the form of donations to the Alliance fleet.

If an Alliance nation attacks another Alliance nation, the perpetrator is put on probation, and prohibited from having a vote for an entire week. After this time, if they attack again, they will be removed from the Alliance.

4 - Trade

Alliance trading is very simple. Normal goods are traded between nations, and with a maximum tax of 2% to be imposed on the traders. Laws apply, as per normal, between nations. No-one may smuggle contraband, or illegal goods, but, otherwise, trade is not to be restricted between Alliance nations.

Also, the Outlanders Guild is a major part of Alliance trading. They are essentially the economic branch of the Alliance, and are dedicated to trading for Alliance nations, for instance, they can gain a large amount of goods from one nation, that are normally hard to obtain, or purchase blueprints to a ship you may want.

5 - Finalising

The Interstellar Alliance of Worlds welcomes all comers, old, new, democratic or otherwise, and hope that we will all be able to ensure prosperity and peace throughout our nations. Any nation, with any system of government may join.

Updates: The Alliance Unified Bank has been completed! Come and look around, deposit some money!

Also, blueprints for ships have been posted.

The Unified Bank is continuing to grow, with donations. Come on, newbies to FT, and oldies alike! Free ships, in a free alliance!

Damn, we're updating fast! To everyone who joins the alliance, you can get an official Alliance Badge -

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/Comiclez/insignia1.png

You can put these on your username in the Alliance forums, and, we're making more badges as we speak!

The insignia was devised by me (I know it's simple, but simple is good, no?) and it is made up of two parts.

The Badge is made of dyed silver, and is pinned to the right shoulder of members. The tassle is a flowing piece of silk fabric, coloured depending on the sect it is used in.

Those who join now have a better chance of attaining one of the positions, such as High Councillor, or Alliance Leader!

I'd be interested, but I don't have borders. I don't hold any territory at all, I'm a nomadic people.

Territory is, of course, defined by the people who live in it. Protection of your people is equal to that of protection of the territory. Therefore, your borders could be defined as where you are living at the moment, and preventing people from, for instance, bringing in goods that are illegal, or at least immoral, to your people. You have the rights to borders, you don't have to enforce a constant border at all times.

Jeshand, are you by any chance a trader?

I don't think you understand. If anything, my boarders would consist of the space my ships are currently occupying. they've been continuousely traveling for the past few hundred generations.

I suppose I could be a trader, why?

the rule still seems to aply(sp?)

No, no, I defined that the same way.

your borders could be defined as where you are living at the moment

So, essentially, wherever you are at the moment is your territory, we understand and accept that.

Ok. Would you accept a six to eleven week downtime while I'm in basic and possibly while I'm in tech school?

Sure, we're not stupid. If real life comes in the way of NS, everyone has to live with it.

I guess I'm sold then. Where do I sign up?

Because a sub-organization, the Outlander Guild, runs the trading in the AOW, and I'm looking for members who could join and help our trading circuit, especially a nomadic people like yourself, who could be invaluable and skilled in the area.

I guess I'm sold then. Where do I sign up?

http://s15.invisionfree.com/AllianceofWorlds/index.php?act=idx

Signed up. H-L, I could do some trading, you'll have to feed me some specifics. And I'm not interested in being a high councilman-person, so you three can continue to do that.

Those positions are temporary, they only last until we get enough people to hold a proper election.

The Interstellar Fleet has been formed, and a forum made for its use.

We desperately need traders, so, all who sell wares, get in contact!

Well, as it is, we have four members! As soon as we get 7, we're holding our first election, for the High Councilman and Alliance Leader positions!

Trading is continuing as planned, ships are being sold, and the first official transaction has been made. Please note that there are still three positions available where you will receive ships.

The Interstellar Fleet, the military branch of the AoW, has been constructed, and the first fleet, codenamed Fleet Liberation, put into service. Anyone wishing to benefit from this fleet's protection would be wise to join.

Last bump for the night! We've got a bit of RPing going on the boards, if anyone wants to know!

Bump for great Justice.

Also, could we all note that the Outlanders Guild is a seperate organization to the Interstellar Alliance of Worlds, however, it is funded, and funds, the AoW, (AoW members can choose to invest in it), and it is a trade alliance solely.

Also, I'll be opening an RP thread, for people to display their IC interest in the AoW.

IC Interest Thread.

*bump*

http://s15.invisionfree.com/AllianceofWorlds/index.php?showtopic=22 - League AoW storefront! Visit it as it's being built, and buy something!

Last bump for the Alliance before I go to bed.

Also, note that the Constitution can be changed by a 90% vote of the Alliance.

Bumipitty bump.

Don't bother looking at this page. I just bump when I update the front one.

Im interested in joining the Alliance. The people of my planet, Weisstein, are highly adept in industrial construction, and employ a large fleet of heavy, bulky war starships. The territories i control are my planet and the two closest planets in the starsystem. I would always be open to trade, especially the import of raw materials.


(if i need to supply anymore information for the rp, let me know)

Not at all. Just sign up on the forums, and, since you're our seventh member, the elections can begin!

Shbumpitty bump. Website URL added.

I, Lady Anisarian of The Necrontyr, will hereby join this alliance. I offer you the part of the whole, my own sections of Mephet'Rans glorious Empire.

I hope you accept this offer, and will be thankful most grasiously.

Of course, Lady Anisarian. We warmly welcome you to the Alliance.

The voices from nowhere and everywhere, many and yet one, spoke in a surprising turn to their usual ramblings. For the first time, they even mentioned the name of their people. Twisted and contorted, they spoke in unison:

"Strength in numbers. The Strogg understand this. To your strength, our numbers are added."

Cryptic, short, and yet the meaning was unmistakable. What manner of strength these 'Strogg' offered was unclear, and even now the transmission could still not be pinpointed, but it was clear that they wished to join.

The Industrial Syndicate of Weisstein are looking into opening up large scale trading with Allaince members of massive amounts of raw metals. In return for imports, the Syndicate would be willing to supply assistance in the construction of planetary defence weapons, or the acess to large fleets of freighters.

We would prefer sub-alliance trading, letting people buy and sell as they will. If we require any Alliance planetary defenses, or ships, we will put up a contract for them.

Also, greetings to the Strogg. We understand strength in unity. The union of flesh and machine is one of the strongest of all. We will be glad to add our strength to yours.

Ok, then if anyone is willing to sign a trade pact, i would allow them full acess to my industrial plants to assist in large scale productions, or supply them with various models of small ships

It's probably a good idea to put any offers you have up on the Alliance boards, where people will check. At the moment, we have no need of large-scale productions, however, the Alliance Shipyard may.

oh ok, can do. And since my specialty is the production of starcraft, maybe something will work out.

It may well do, it may well do.

Bump for bed.

Bumperator.

The Ascendancy may be interested in changing it's long time stance concerning alliances, to possibly join this one, depending on discussions to come.

We await response to this tenured query.

Lady Seto Kamiki
Ascendancy Prime Foreign Advisor

If you wish to join, we would welcome you warmly, however, we can offer no words of encouragement, other than those that the Alliance is based on maximum freedom for each member nation, but still with an underlying theme of mutual-defense.

- Alliance Interim Admissions Minister, Asen Brown.

Bumpiity bumpizors. One day until the election.

Order of the Stick bump.

Bump for greater justice!

Bump for the website.

On the bump note, the Outlander's Guild is home of pure-character RPing. If you wanna join up, and create a character, feel welcome to do so.

http://s15.invisionfree.com/OutlanderGuild/index.php

Beh. I just reached, for myself, 100 posts on the off-site forums!

We're also offering the ability to let members have their own page on the website, so long as they submit it in an easily-copied form.

The Armed Republic of Mationbuds is interested in joining the Interstellar Allaince of Worlds . We're here on because of a Alliance Trade Program offered by your founder nation .

We also welcome all members of the Interstellar Alliance of Worlds to join the Confederation of Independent Planets (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=469292)to enjoy the benefits of being members of both alliances .

Seems like a reasonable offer. Oh, and Mationbuds, if you want to advertise your Alliance's recruitment thread, go to Profile, go to edit your signature, and type

['url'=(Confederation of Planet thread url]Confederation of Planets[/'url']

(Remove the quotation marks)

Thanks alot .I thought I had forgotten about signatures .

Yup. So, do you want to make a pact between our two alliances? (We could have a mutual-defense pact, or something along those lines.)

Note: The CoIP and AoW may be undergoing a mutual-defense pact. This will, in effect, make the pool of nations who can help you increase to around 14.

Updated memberlist.

Our three High Councillors have just filled their positions.

Bump for the greatest justice.

Bump for honour and glory. And cheese.

There's the link to our ANN, or Alliance News Network, graciously read out by H-L.

Yarhar. Bumperamator.

Seriously, now, people. Joining this alliance would make me a very happy panda.

I'm a very sad panda.

I'll join your alliance if you want. I have pretty good income and a lot of people. And I'm an FT nation.

Hey, Vespeterium Minor! Didn't you have that human extermination RP going on awhile back? (About a colony that you conquered, I believe) You're more than welcome to join. Sign up at the forums, and join the crowd!

bump bumpitty bump

Not sure where to say it, so I'll say it here. Zarloniar would like to join the Interstellar Alliance of Worlds, so... If I can join that would be awesome, if not well... I guess not then. I'm really hoping to join as a fledgling nation needs some kind of help protecting itself from the tinpot dictatorships that are growing in some areas.

'course you can. Some members need protection, and we protect them until they grow large, and can protect others. It's a beneficial cycle.

Just sign up at the forums; we still need a mod.

(Just to clarify, nobody's forcing anyone to do anything. If you wanna sign up for the position, though, you're welcome)

ump-bay

Heh. I'll update the memberlist tomorrow, on the off-chance another person joins.

Bumporator.

Shbump.

Update in progress.

Update completed! Bump, clump, CHUMP! The AoW is getting back in business!

We are Hopeing to Join your Alliance in hope of changeing our ways.

Welcome aboard. Just sign up at the forums, and you're in.

Ump-bay.

This is probably the last bump. I'll be opening an updated recruitment thread, with a link to this one, in a few days, or weeks..

Hi,edward city wants to join the AoW.Could we?

Yo, HT, did we switch to new forums or something? Cause I just saw the ones with links and am totally lost?

The Alliance of Worlds is long-defunct, and is no longer in operation in any way, shape, or form. Its successor, Unity, is likewise defunct.

Ok,thanks.
