The Mucro Imperial Alliance

Preamble

In order to further and protect the military and economic interests of the Imperial Powers of Mucro, the Mucro Imperial Alliance is hereby established.

Supremacy Clause

By agreeing to join this alliance, the involved nations (heretofore known as “members” or “members of the Alliance”) are bound by the rules, as defined by the articles below, and must follow them, regardless of other factors.

Moderator

The moderator for all discussions and votes of the council shall be the founder. In the case of the founder’s absence, one of the two co-founders shall take his place until his return.


Article I: Membership

Section 1: Application Requirement

All applicants to MIA must be Imperial States based in Mucro. They cannot be at war with current members of the Alliance. If two applicants are at war, their applications will be delayed until the end of said conflict, barring a majority decision by the current members and the approval of the founder, or a two thirds majority decision without the approval of the founder.

Section 2: Admittance

All applicants must be approved by a majority vote of the current members and/or founder. The founder may veto a majority vote for admittance, in which case a two thirds majority vote in favor of their admittance would override the veto. Following this, the new applicant must pay a one time fee of $1 billion in Errikan Marks to the Alliance's treasury. This fee may be paid all at once or over ten years, the latter case having a $5 million EM additional cost in total interest.

Section 3: Continuation

All members must pay the annual fee to maintain membership. The annual fee shall consist of either a constant rate of $5 million EM or 1% of the total budget of the member, depending on their own choice upon joining, and shall be deposited into the Alliance's Treasury.


Article II: Defense of Territory

Section 1: Defense of Mucro Territory against non-members

If the territory in Mucro of any member nation is attacked by a non-member (and non-member aligned) nation, then the other member nations must send direct financial and military aid. Should they be unable to do so, then they shall do so to the best of their ability.

Section 2: Defense of Mucro Territory against members

If the territory in Mucro of any member nation is attacked by a member (or member aligned) nation, then a majority ruling of member nations shall decide who is to be supported. The one who gets the support of the alliance shall receive the full support of Section 1. The other shall be suspended from the alliance, barring a decision by the founder.

Section 3: Defense of non-Mucro Territory against non-members

If the territory outside of Mucro of any member nation is attacked by a non-member (and non-member aligned) nation, then the other member nations must send financial aid, and must decide whether or not to send direct military aid. If they are unable to do so, then they shall do so to the best of their ability.

Section 4: Defense of non-Mucro Territory against members

If the territory outside of Mucro of any member nation is attacked by a member (or member aligned) nation, then the alliance shall remain neutral. This means that all members make their own choice as to whom they shall support and in what way(s).


Article III: Defense of non-Territorial Assets

Section 1: Defense of non-territorial assets in Mucro against non-members

If rightfully owned non-territorial assets in Mucro of any member nation are attacked or withdrawn by a non-member (and non-member aligned) nation, then the other member nations must send direct military aid to the reacquisition of said assets. Should they be unable to do so, then they shall do so to the best of their ability.

Section 2: Defense of non-territorial assets in Mucro against members

If rightfully owned non-territorial assets in Mucro of any member nation are attacked or withdrawn by a member (or member aligned) nation, then a council of the allies, including those involved, shall settle the dispute. If the dispute cannot be settled, than the one at fault shall be suspended, and the other shall receive the full support of Section 1.

Section 3: Defense of non-territorial assets outside of Mucro against non-members

If rightfully owned non-territorial assets outside of Mucro of any member nation are attacked or withdrawn by a non-member (and non-member aligned) nation, then the other member nations must send military aid. If they are unable to do so, then they shall do so to the best of their ability.

Section 4: Defense of non-Mucro Territory against members

If rightfully owned non-territorial assets outside of Mucro of any member nation are attacked or withdrawn by a non-member (and non-member aligned) nation, then the other member nations must send direct military aid to the reacquisition of said assets. Should they be unable to do so, then they shall do so to the best of their ability.


Article IV: Support of Acquisitions

Section 1: Support of acquisitions of territory and non-territorial assets in Mucro

If a member nation seeks to acquire territory and/or non-territorial assets in Mucro at the expense of non-members, then the individual members shall decide whether or not to aid them. However, should the war turn against the members involved and fighting moves to their territory, then a majority vote of the members will decide whether or not to support the member who is under attack. If the vote is yes, then Section I of Article I applies. If the vote is no, then the individual members decide if and how they will aid.

Section 2: Support of acquisitions of territory and non-territorial assets outside of Mucro

If a member nation seeks to acquire territory and/or non-territorial assets outside of Mucro at the expense of non-members, then the individual members shall decide whether or not to aid them. However, should the war turn against the members involved and fighting moves to their territory, then a majority vote of the members will decide whether or not to support the member who is under attack. If the vote is yes, then all members must send financial and military aid as they are able. If the vote is no, then the individual members decide if and how they will aid.


Article V: Military Obligations

Section 1: Friends and Enemies of the Alliance

A nation, organization, or person can be made an enemy of the alliance if there is a two thirds majority vote or if they violate one of the rules that specifically mentions enemy or enemies of the alliance. All members of the alliance are required to be officially at a state of war with all enemies of the alliance at all times, and must fully embargo all of their products. Enemies can cease to be enemies with a two thirds majority vote and approval of the founder.

A nation, organization, or person can be made a friend of the alliance if there is a two thirds majority vote by the members or a deal either made by or approved by the founder entailing this title. All members of the alliance must be at peace with friends, though they are allowed to embargo them economically. All members are encouraged to engage in trade with all friends. Friends may cease to be friends with a two-thirds majority vote by the members with the founder’s approval or if they violate any rules of the alliance.

Section 2: Prisoners of War

All prisoners of war, being civilized and honorable opponents, are to be treated well. They are to be fed at least 2000 calories daily, and not physically abused without cause. If these qualifications cannot be met without notably impairing the war effort, then they are to be met to the best of their abilities. Prisoners who are uncivilized and/or dishonorable may be treated however the keeper of these prisoners sees fit.

Section 3: Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction

No WMDs are to be used in Mucro. Any nation or organization that uses WMDs is to be considered an enemy of the Alliance, and the alliance. WMD is hereby defined as a nuclear, chemical, and/or biological weapon.

Section 4: Foreign Intervention

Section 4a: The alliance can intervene in foreign conflicts not involving the members if there is a two-thirds majority vote. If that is the case, then members must send military and financial aid to the effort as they are able.
Section 4b: Should such a foreign conflict take place and one of the members, who would otherwise be uninvolved, becomes involved through a choice of their own, then a two-thirds majority vote will decide whether or not the alliance as a whole is to be involved

Article VI: Economic Relations

Section 1: Patents

All members of the alliance shall recognize and enforce the patents that are recognized and enforced by any other member.

Section 2: Trade

All members of the alliance will allow active and direct trade with every other member of the alliance. While the alliance recognizes a nation’s rights to impose tariffs, no tariff larger than 10% shall be made on trade with another member of the alliance. This excludes anti-dumping duties, which may be as high as the nation enforcing these duties desires.

Section 3: Discounts

For the intentions of furthering the military and economic strength of the members of the alliance, the international corporation of Weapson, who provides weapons, equipment, and miscellaneous military and civilian supplies, will provide supplies for all members at a 5% discount, providing they are allowed to build their products in the territory of those members. Also, the steel mills of Jaymeland will give 5% discounts and less regulated trade to all member states and Errikan oil companies will sell oil at a 5% discount to all member states.

Amen . . . bump

Albu-querque, you may want to add "Co-Founder of MIA" to your sig

I have news of an assignment for our alliance. There is some big war in the Middle East, and some Errikans have been killed. One rather gruesomely. Thus, this would fall under Article II, Section III, defense of non-territorial assets outside of Mucro from non-Members. I am getting ready to invade, and the support of this alliance would help a lot.

Right-O. Albu-querque is on the way.

bump once more

Blaglug has offered an alliance between MIA and the region of the Golden Triangle. What do you think?

OOC: wow, we need to get more people to join.

Well, I am hesitant, but my vote is for an alliance with the Golden Triangle. I am hesitant because the factbook entry says its a "Capatalist haven," and I am socialist. But it does accept socialist looking for a challenge, and I am. They are a good sized region also; over 60 nations.

There are several people in Mucro who are going to join but haven't gotten around to it.

The Nation of Blaglug request Assosiate Membership in this Alliance.

Our territory of Aeoilam is located in Mucro and on our territoris behalf, we ask for this Assosiate Membership.

The Errikan Empire supports the acceptance of Aeoilam into MIA, as well as the recognition of Blaglug as and official friend of the alliance.

The United Socialist States of Albu-querque give full support to Aeoilam to join the MIA. Also, we accept Blaglug as a friend of the Alliance.

Aeoilam is in, barring future objections by the two absent members.

We, the Senate of Famousia, wish to join the "Mucro Imperial Alliance". We have a very good record of fostering peace and prosperity in the region. If you were to allow us to join your most serene alliance, then it will greatly improve our people's power or something like that. So, we wish to you to allow us to join the MIA.


The best wishes,

Our Empire officially supports your admission, and reports the support of Albu-querque. With at least one additional vote, you are in.

Famousia has left the region, so can no longer be a member. He will be a friend of the Alliance, but not a member.

Famousia has left the region, so can no longer be a member. He will be a friend of the Alliance, but not a member.

Agreed. I will add a section for friends of the alliance and a section for enemies of the alliace.

Btw, maps of Mucro still include Famousia . . . :p

Anyway, here is a good topic for discussion. It seems that war is looming between Albu-querque, a member of the alliance, and Foamy the Almighty, a non-member.

Here is my impression as to the causes of this war, based on information I have recieved:

Historically, there have always been drastic cultural differences between people in the region, which led to hatred and often warfare. These cultural differences still exist, and are stronger than ever. Also, the God/Lugal (dictator) in Foamy and the leader of Albu-querque are completely different people, who thus cannot get along.
On top of all of that, the people in the Rogue nation (as Albu-querque has classified it) are a constant bane to the Querqs, engaging in large scale smuggling in and through Albu-querque, especially with drugs, among other crimes.

Recently, comments made by the dictator of Foamy deeply offended the Querqs, who considered it the last straw. Now they want blood, and war seems to not be far off.

Is this assessment accurate?

Yes, the people of Albu-querque have tolerated the injustice for long enough, and action is soon to be taken if further ignored.

Yes, the people of Albu-querque have tolerated the injustice for long enough, and action is soon to be taken if further ignored.

Okay, what should this be classified as, then?

I believe it to be an example of Article IV, Section 1. This means that no members are required to aid you so long as the fighting remains outside of allied territory, though all members are free to aid you if they so desire.

Yes, also agreed.

Foamy's deadline has past, so I am officially decalring war.

Foamy's deadline has past, so I am officially decalring war.

So you are declaring war under Article IV Section 1, and it is up to members to declare their stance.

The official stance of the Errikan Empire is to remain neutral, but to continue to trade, particularly with military supplies, with both sides. We would like to request that Albu-querque recognizes all Errikans as neutral and, accordingly, does not take any actions that would directly endanger life or limb of uninvolved Errikans, such as bomb Weapson factories in Foamy territory.

The nation of Albu-querque reconizes Errikan neutrality, and will take all precautions to prevent the deaths of Errikan civilians and the destruction of Errikan structures. If need be, we will escort your civilians to secure outposts and then transported across the border and further on to your country.

The war has begun, and Foamy's nation has already taken severe damage. He has yet to respond. I have given them a second chance to nagotiate, still waiting for a reply. If they continue to be silent, I will be forced to assume that the rulers of the nation have abandoned their people and will launch a full-scale invasion to swiflty capture the nation with as little blood shed as possible.

And he's no longer doing that, correct?

Correct. He has not given another reason since for being silent, and I will not keep my life on his schedual, so I intend to move forward with my plans.

I was thinking - We should add a part in the document about friends of the alliance. In order to do that, we should also add something about how we are to add parts, just in case we were to need to add anything else. However, seeing as this document must not interfere with sovereignty if possible, we must be cautious.

I can add these parts, but I guess we should have a majority vote or something?

Okay, I'll get to work and enstate it if there is a majority support.

I now have 505 million people. That means that I can write issues. Anyone want me to write one for them?

Yes, please. Now, do you get to choose what the outcome of each answere is? If so, I need my CRs to Libertarian and my EFs to Authoritarian (I dont know what the means off of NS tracker; I dont know how much more of it can be under gov. control).

I have the slightly improved draft of the charter. If anyone wants it, email me @ echughes@cox.net or echughesjunk@hotmail.com to get it. Or try IMing me, though I am rarely on as I am on vacation.

Oh, here is a legal thing. Regarsun is labeled another region, and yet they are merely a penninsula off Mucro, and are completely surrounded by Mucro.

Thus, should they legally be considered part of Mucro?
If this were to be the case, then those in Regarsun would be allowed into the Mucro Imperial Alliance.

I'd like to join the alliance, now. :D

Bump.

I officially support Zukariaa's addition to the alliance. It is a hardworking and loyal nation with a strong military and good facilities left over from the collapse of Kraven there; thus, he would be a valuable asset.

I will support Zukaria's joining of the MIA, but will remain cautious of them. Their troubled past may come to haunt us all (OOC: already happened :p )

On the subject of Regarsun being considered part of Mucro I vote against it. And on the same note, some of those that were the originals of Regarsun have created another region, called Silithus.

Who you at war with?

Who you at war with?

Who are you talking to?

er . . . bump

Since it is taking everyone else so long to vote, I will put him on the list in a day unless there are any objections. Then he will stay on unless anyone has any issues. Sound good?

Allow me to bump

Bumpings for losers.

*laughs at his sudden appearance*

JC, you can try to join if you want.

Now, for the rest of us, there is a real issue at this point. Rachkldom, a Protectorate of mine and thus part of the Errikan Empire, recently destroyed a nuclear facility owned by New Islamabadsville, which was trying to build nuclear weapons. Since then, all but all out war has come about. Now, I am currently trying to make a resolution, which may or may not work.

First off, since Rachkldite territory and non-territorial assets are legally Errikan, would its defense fall under Article II Section 1 and Article II Section 1 of our charter, even though Rachkldom struck first?

New Islamabadsville was building Nuclear Weapons, the use of which in Mucro would define them as an enemy of the alliance under Article V Section 3 (which, by the way, has a typo I need to edit). New Islamabadsville has no interests outside of Mucro, thus the primary use of those weapons would be for use in Mucro. While there is no direct mentioning of anything of this sort, Rachkldom's efforts were focused on preventing something that the charter officially recognizes as very bad, which may constitute regarding this war between him and New Islamabadsville as defensive on his part.

If not, then would this be regarded as a case for Article IV Section 1, in which case the individual members would choose whether or not they would support the Rachkldites, and to what degree. If the fighting entered Rachkldite territory, then we would vote . . . you all have seen the charter.

Also, I raise a motion to edit Article V Section 3. This would add a line that says that members may use certain weapons of mass destruction if they recieve full approval of the other members.

*Stabs Alliance to make sure it's dead*
Ya, it's a dead as Christ...

*Stabs Alliance to make sure it's dead*
Ya, it's a dead as Christ...

Nope. It is not dead. We merely face no issues at the moment, and thus there is nothing to comment on.

Sweet. Bout time im back. For those of you who dont know who i am, im aitchimg resurrected. For those of you who are STILL clueless, you havent been around long enough for me to care what you think. ANYWAYS, i was too lazy to read the entire constitution, but it seems to me that this here is some sort of military allaince. Since i have the most free time out of the group now, im offering my assistance as secretary of war or whatever fancy title you want to give it. Point being, that im gonna need some info. Alot of it. By some medium or another, im gonna need a map, port locations, all forms of military outpost locations, airports, and all the statistics that involve warfare.


To adress those of you who are afraid that i may abuse this information to sieze power, you really are stupid. Think about it.
1: My nation is the smallest thus far, and still weak.
2: I have been around before almost all of you, and think of mucro as my child.
3: What do i have to gain from siezing power? Those of you who are of any import know i have influence enough as it is.

When i get the required information i will post further.

Good to have you back, Michael.

I am shortly going to pass major reforms of the "constitution" (probably making a new thread for this), but I don't think anyone will object to you joining. I will talk to Jayme and Kurt about it personally.

As for maps, aside from the (outdated) map in my sig, no one here really has maps of our homelands. Two of us hold land in Arterus (Arterus link in my sig), and there are maps of Arterus in that thread.

I officially support your joining.

By the way, I purchased 100 of these (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9708782&postcount=533), along with production rights, for the alliance. Weapson factories shall immediately begin to churn them out, with our current quota being 10,000. Does anyone want to add to that?

Also, I purchased 10,000 tanks (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=478771) from the same storefront. They seem to be good, and I was wondering if we wished to purchase more.

wow, one store selling 10k tanks? Its like walmart on steriods! Anyways, I intend to turn my nation into, for all intents and purposes, a giant factory. Maybe I can get some contracts signed with the allaince as a whole. Something along the lines of the rest of the countries sending mine necessary staples: food, clothing, Xboxes, ect. In return, I will provide for most militant equipment as well as research upcoming technology. This will, overall, save everyone money and time. I could get raw resources from my mines and turn them into a minigun in the time it would take for the paper work to be signed for the trigger piece to be shipped across national borders.

ANYWAYS... this is more of your forte, erik, so if you could draw up something nice and official for me, I can begin the buildup immediatly.

It's a storefront, and you will frequently find them moving immense quantities of military equipment.

I like the idea of you turning your country into a factory (so long as we are not concerned about your people's rights), and I could definately sell you all the food you need. The Errikan company Weapson can develop your military production industry, if you like.

What do you mean something official?

On a side (and OOC) note, Corallion, the nation of my sister, wishes to join, but the forums hate her. Let's just say they sent in an official request to join the alliance.

What I mean, is that you should draw up some sort of contract thingy for the benefit of everyone else. I also grant you the power to wield my nation around in the forums, because im too lazy. Just tell me when you do.

I, Elisar ben Yaweh, and the Great nation of Israel beth Israel do hereby support all applicants. My nation also wishes to support whatever reforms you were talking about.

Lastly I want to devote one half of my nation's budget for this year in research to improve the planes that you bought. Then we will personally fund the creation of one half million of the improved planes; since almost all of my military is the air force, we can afford this.

OOC- Pretend this is a long formal IC message. I approve all applicants. Eric, I got your tg, and like the changes. You might want to make a new mia thread to pass the reforms.
