Judicial Branch Details

The Federation of Ambrose-Douglas employs a unique judiciary system, but one that our people endorse. Our Supreme Court is made up of nine [9] individuals. Four are appointed by the government, and five are elected by the people on a rotating basis every two years (each justice serves a ten year term, so there is a new, people-elected justice every two years). While justices elected by the people can serve multiple terms, those appointed by the government can only serve one, ten year term. However, after they are done with government service, the justices can be elected by the people, if they so choose. This Supreme Court reviews all decisions by the Senate and the Nation’s House (our legislatures), and those decisions made by President Ambrose. All court decisions at this level are final.

There are three other rungs of judicial support, before getting to the Supreme Court. The lowest level is our city courts. These are where all court cases start. There are three branches to each city court: civil, misdemeanor, and felony. All justices are elected by the people.

Above the city courts are our regional courts. There are ten of these courts, each with approximately the same number of citizens within it. They hear cases that have been appealed at the city court level. These justices are elected by the populace of their region.

The last rung before the Supreme Court is the Ambrosian Circuit Court and the Douglas Circuit Court. Each court has seven [7] justices on it and all are appointed by the President. If a case is appealed from a regional court in the realm of the Ambrosian Circuit Court, it would go to the Douglas Circuit Court, and vice versa. This is done to get fresh perspectives on each case, should they be regional in nature.

OFFICIAL FEDERATION ANNOUNCEMENT

Small though we are, The Federation of Ambrose-Douglas recognizes that we sit on one of the most important shipping lanes in the entire world: The Karlonian Canal (RL The Panama Canal). As such, the Federation has imposed the following policy on use of the Karlonian Canal in the Karlonian Province.

1. No nation shall be able to use the Karlonian Canal without permission from the Federation government. Requests to use the Canal made be made to Benjamin J. Douglas, Ambassador to Foreign Lands.

2. No ship of war, nor any ship transporting war materials is allowed to use the Karlonian Canal. The government of the Federation reserves the right to investigate any ship with or without reason, and if materials of war are found, the crew will be detained and the ship, as well as its contents, will be integrated into the Federation's military or destroyed.

3. The government of the Federation reserves the right to define what it considers "war material", within reason.

4. The Canal is Federation Territorial Waters, and any ship entering it without permission is subject to full repercussions, including destruction without warning.

5. Nations can have their status to use the Canal revoked at any time. Should such revocation happen, any ships from said nation in the Canal will be given 24 hours to vacate Federation Territorial Water, or suffer the consequences.

Nations currently allowed to use The Karlonian Canal:

OOC: You'd have to coordinate that with AB, I'll take the mercs, but how much are they gonna cost me?

OOC: It'd add fun to take on mercs in Puerto Rico...to test 'em. I'm all go on that project.

Alright Schroeder, give me a cost estimate and we'll insert them in.

OOC: Bump, and Puerto Rico statistics added in to totals now.

OOC: Bump... Economic information added with exact budgets... revamped military statistics to come shortly.
