| + | The '''Illustrious Empire of Itinerate Tree Dweller''' is an historically powerful nation, rich in history and traditions. Following the overthrow of Roman Emperor Hadrian in 130 A.D., the head of the gens Xericus rose to the position of Roman Emperor. His first order of business was the reorganization of the Imperial government to better suit his needs, the size of the Imperial Senate was doubled and citizenship was further limited to only those who have served the government, specifically veterans. These changes remain in place nearly 2000 years later. | ||

</table> | </table> | ||
| − | + | ===Constitution=== | |
| + | The basic laws of the land can be found entirely within the [[ITD Constitution]] which is designed to cover the basics of the nations laws. | ||
| + | ===Government Organization=== | ||
| + | First two terms must be clearly defined, a citizen versus a civilian. In many nations, these two terms have but one meaning, but in ITD the differences are clearly layed out. | ||
| − | + | A citizen is a person who has performed service for the Imperium, having completed the oath of citizenship and having served their time, honorably and without incident. If a person dies before completing their tour of duty for the Imperium, they are awarded their citizenship and they are given a citizen burial. Citizens have rights that do not extend to civilians. | |
| − | + | ====The Oath of Citizenship==== | |
| − | === | + | |
| − | + | "I, state your full name, of my own free will, without promise, coercion, or inducement, after having been duly advised and warned of the meaning and consequences of this oath, do now enroll in the Imperial Service of the ITD Empire for not less than two years and as much longer as may be required by the needs of the Service. | |
| − | + | I swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the Imperium against all its enemies foreign or domestic, to protect and defend the Constitutional liberties and privileges of all citizens and lawful residents of the Empire, its associate states and territories, to perform, home or abroad, such duties of any lawful nature as may be assigned to me by lawful direct or delegated authority. | |
| − | + | -And to obey all lawful orders of the Emperor of the Imperial Service and of all officers or delegated persons placed over me. | |
| − | <table><tr | + | -And to require such obedience from all members of the Service or other persons or non-human beings lawfully placed under my orders. |
| − | <td | + | |
| − | + | -And, on being honorably discharged at the completion of my full term of active service or upon being placed on inactive retired status after having completed such full term, to carry out all duties and obligations and to enjoy all privileges of Imperial citizenship including but not limited to the duty, obligation and privilege of exercising sovereign franchise for the rest of my natural life unless stripped of my honor by verdict, finally sustained, of court of my sovereign peers." | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | ====Rights of a Citizen==== | |
| − | + | * The right to vote in Imperial elections and the right to hold political office. | |
| − | + | * The right to address the Imperial Senate. | |
| − | </td> | + | * The responsibility to protect the body politic. |
| − | <td> | + | |
| − | + | Civilians have little political rights, but the same economic rights as citizens. No civilian may hold political office, but they can hold positions of power in economic groups and corporations. | |
| − | </td> | + | |
| − | </tr> | + | Now that we have these two terms defined, we can better define the government of Itinerate Tree Dweller. ITD has a unique government system which is derived from the ancient oligarchy-republic of Rome and centered in power around the Consul-General/Emperor. |
| + | |||
| + | The Emperor has absolute power to govern the Imperium, but must consult the Senate before making any fiscal decision or military, except for emergency situations. The Senate writes legislation and votes on it; if the legislation passes, it is sent to the Emperor for final approval. The Emperor has absolute authority over legislation in regards to it passing or failing, but cannot edit the legislation without it being sent back to the Senate for another vote. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Senate is composed of three houses and they are described below. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Imperium's Judicial system is entirely up to the Emperor to design and implement. | ||

The Illustrious Empire of Itinerate Tree Dweller is an historically powerful nation, rich in history and traditions. Following the overthrow of Roman Emperor Hadrian in 130 A.D., the head of the gens Xericus rose to the position of Roman Emperor. His first order of business was the reorganization of the Imperial government to better suit his needs, the size of the Imperial Senate was doubled and citizenship was further limited to only those who have served the government, specifically veterans. These changes remain in place nearly 2000 years later.

Politics & Law
Constitution
The basic laws of the land can be found entirely within the ITD Constitution which is designed to cover the basics of the nations laws.
Government Organization
First two terms must be clearly defined, a citizen versus a civilian. In many nations, these two terms have but one meaning, but in ITD the differences are clearly layed out.
A citizen is a person who has performed service for the Imperium, having completed the oath of citizenship and having served their time, honorably and without incident. If a person dies before completing their tour of duty for the Imperium, they are awarded their citizenship and they are given a citizen burial. Citizens have rights that do not extend to civilians.
The Oath of Citizenship
"I, state your full name, of my own free will, without promise, coercion, or inducement, after having been duly advised and warned of the meaning and consequences of this oath, do now enroll in the Imperial Service of the ITD Empire for not less than two years and as much longer as may be required by the needs of the Service.
I swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the Imperium against all its enemies foreign or domestic, to protect and defend the Constitutional liberties and privileges of all citizens and lawful residents of the Empire, its associate states and territories, to perform, home or abroad, such duties of any lawful nature as may be assigned to me by lawful direct or delegated authority.
-And to obey all lawful orders of the Emperor of the Imperial Service and of all officers or delegated persons placed over me.
-And to require such obedience from all members of the Service or other persons or non-human beings lawfully placed under my orders.
-And, on being honorably discharged at the completion of my full term of active service or upon being placed on inactive retired status after having completed such full term, to carry out all duties and obligations and to enjoy all privileges of Imperial citizenship including but not limited to the duty, obligation and privilege of exercising sovereign franchise for the rest of my natural life unless stripped of my honor by verdict, finally sustained, of court of my sovereign peers."
Rights of a Citizen
- The right to vote in Imperial elections and the right to hold political office.
- The right to address the Imperial Senate.
- The responsibility to protect the body politic.
Civilians have little political rights, but the same economic rights as citizens. No civilian may hold political office, but they can hold positions of power in economic groups and corporations.
Now that we have these two terms defined, we can better define the government of Itinerate Tree Dweller. ITD has a unique government system which is derived from the ancient oligarchy-republic of Rome and centered in power around the Consul-General/Emperor.
The Emperor has absolute power to govern the Imperium, but must consult the Senate before making any fiscal decision or military, except for emergency situations. The Senate writes legislation and votes on it; if the legislation passes, it is sent to the Emperor for final approval. The Emperor has absolute authority over legislation in regards to it passing or failing, but cannot edit the legislation without it being sent back to the Senate for another vote.
The Senate is composed of three houses and they are described below.
The Imperium's Judicial system is entirely up to the Emperor to design and implement.
Suffrage
| Sufferage Type: | Age Limitations: |
| Marriage | 14 with parental permission; 18 without. |
| Smoking | 14 with parental permission; 18 without. |

117 (99,13,5) |
The House of Commons
The House of Commons is what the original Imperial Senate evolved into. With its members elected directly by the populace, this house remains the sole section of power that regular citizens hold in the Imperial government. The House of Commons can levy taxes and remains the only government venue where private citizens can address the government. This house checks the House of Lords by levying land taxes on estates. This house checks the House of Appointees by regulating how many representatives a Governor-General may appoint.
The House of Appointees
The House of Appointees consists of those representatives appointed by regional Governor-Generals, and is charged with maintaining trade and commerce between the various territories. All territorial disputes between regions are settled on the floor of the House of Appointees. This house checks the House of Lords by overseeing all land entitlements that members of the House of Lords may own. This house checks the House of Commons by regulating how many representatives the people may elect.
The House of Lords
The House of Lords consists of those representatives appointed directly by the Emperor, they usually come from the well off, or the historically noble families of the empire. This house can issue declaration of wars, and can regulate international trade with regards to the empire. This house also appoints ambassadors and maintains embassies. This house checks the House of Commons and the House of Appointees by regulating salaries for all three houses.
All three houses can issue laws falling under the "general" category, but all three houses still report to the Emperor, who must sign all laws before they can be enforced; in addition to this, the Emperor can remove representatives at will.
Judicial Branch
The Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of ITD consists of ten Judges, all of whom are appointed by the Emperor every decade. Each Judge is given a term of one year as Supreme Court Chief Justice. During this time as Chief Justice, the Judge has the ability to overrule fellow Judges and may have one extra vote, but only in cases of a tie vote.
If a Judge were to die in their term, the Emperor may appoint a Judge from one of the lower courts to take their place, but this judge is not eligible for a term as Chief Justice. If a deceased Judge's term as Chief Justice approaches, the remaining Judges vote on which of the remaining eligible Judges will sit in as the Chief Justice. No Judge may serve more than two years in a row as Chief Justice.
| Justice Rank | Justice Name |
| Chief Justice | James Lupus |
| Deputy Chief Justice | Percy Causey |
| First Ward Justice | Lance Tevis |
| Second Ward Justice | Allen Ward |
| Justice | Leo Howard |
| Justice | Derick Vosii |
| Justice | Jason Pullo |
| Justice | Nicolas Reed |
| Justice | John Clay |
| Justice | Edward Hewes |
The Court of Justice
In cases of capital crimes, a jury of randomly selected but carefully screened private citizens tries an individual or group in an open and public court.
The Court of Disputes
In cases of private disputes involving property, fiscal disputes and personal injury, this court is employed. Citizens present their claims to a Judge or Jury and receive their ruling from the same source. Juries are only appointed at the request of the plaintiff or defendant, but both must agree to a jury trial.
The Court of Military Justice
This court is employed in cases of military misconduct and is thus overseen by the Imperial Security Council and the Emperor's Praetorian Guard. Trials in this court are not public and are considered classified unless otherwise noted.
Economy
Economic Stats
ITD has a large and technologically powerful economy. In this economy, private individuals and business firms make the decisions, and the federal government buys needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. ITD companies face little regulation and have little outside competition from foreign companies. ITD firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers, medical, aerospace, and military equipment. Citizens are given health and life insurance by the state; the beneficiary is the government. All services and goods are property of either private businesses or the government. No citizen group or individual may create a private corporation without asking permission from the government.
