Constitution

To provide Liberty, Power, and Prosperity to the states of Mediterranica.

IDENTIFYING the intergovernmental Mediterranican Union as a co-existence platform for all member states, their people and as a barrier against aggression, poverty and natural or man made situations that can only be overcome with the union's existence.

DRAWING INSPIRATION from the cultural, religious and humanist inheritance of Mediterranica, in which the universal values of the inviolable and inalienable rights of the human person, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law have flourished.

BELIEVING that Mediterranica intends to continue along the path of civilisation, progress and prosperity, for the good of all its inhabitants, including the weakest and most deprived; that it wishes to remain a region open to culture, learning, social and economic progress; and that it wishes to deepen the democratic and transparent nature of its public life, and to strive for peace, justice, solidarity and identity throughout the world.

CONVINCED that, while remaining proud of their own national identities and history, the peoples of Mediterranica are determined to transcend their former divisions and, united ever more closely, to forge a common destiny,

DO ordain the Treaty of the Mediterranican Union.

Mediterranican Union Membership

Membership Criteria

Membership Criteria are the rules that define whether a country is eligible to join the Mediterranican Union. The criteria require that each member state has the ability to remain stable and non-aggressive, that the member state must have in place the institutions to preserve governance, a functioning market economy that will remain compatible with all member states and that the member state accepts all obligations, laws and articles of the Mediterranican Union.

Geographic Criteria

In order to be eligible to join the Mediterranican Union, the applying nation must be located within the Mediterranican region. Colonies, overseas territories and dependencies outside the boundaries of the geographic criteria of the Mediterranican Union are not effected by articles of the Mediterranican Union, thus, the member state which holds sovereignty may rule without the obligations, laws and articles of the Mediterranican Union.

Mediterranican Union Council

All member states will hold a seat in the Mediterranican Union Council. This council will be responsible for all article building, political decision-making and Union military activity.

Host Nation

Each member nation will host the Mediterranican Union on a circular rotation. The Host Nation will handle new articles and voting, host meetings and represent the Mediterranican Union during their term as Host Nation.

Mediterranican Union Co-Existence Policy

Member States Co-Existence

All member states must co-exist in a peaceful and politically allied state. Aggression, xenophobia or any action that threatens co-existence between member states will be punished according to the decisions of those member states that have not committed the said actions.

Member States Safety

The safety of other member nations sovereign territory, peoples and possessions should be considered by other member states to be of as high importance as their own sovereign territory, peoples and possessions. In order to ensure the safety of each and every member state, no member state will act in any way that will pose an environmental or health threat to any other member state's sovereign territory, peoples and possessions.

Member States Sovereignty

All member states will remain the keepers of their own sovereignty. All member states must respect other Member States Sovereignty. The Mediterranican Union is not a unified nation, all member states must represent themselves but the collective region and the Mediterranican Union is to be represented by the current Host Nation.

Revolution

In the event of revolution within a member nation, all other member nations are encouraged to remain neutral but on-standby until the Mediterranican Union Council decides upon the most appropriate course of action in regards to the interests of the nation undergoing revolution.

Mediterranican Union Economic Policy

Open Trade

All member states must be committed to open trade, trade of goods without taxes, tariffs or other trade barriers like quotas on imports. Trade in services without taxes or other trade barriers. Free movement of goods, service and capital as well as the abolition of trusts and cartels. Member states have the right to restrict movement of labour

Mediterranican Finance

The Union council will be responsible for the monetary policy covering the member states of the Mediterranican Union. All member states must invest a standard sum of money into the Mediterranican Central Bank, which will be guarded and distributed as necessary by the council exclusively for the purposes of continuing the existence of the Mediterranican Union, providing aid to member states during disasters or emergencies or for assisting member nations during a time of war.

Mediterranican Union Community

Immigration Policy

Foreign immigrants that come into the geographic area of the Mediterranican Union are subjects of the member state that they are situated upon.

Flag of the Mediterranican Union

The MU flag is not an official flag of any member state, it represents the Mediterranican Union and nothing more.

Aid

Should a member face revolution, drought, depression, or any situation needing aid, fellow member states must give aid, monetary or military, no matter how large or small. In the event that the situation has resulted in widespread devastation of the effected nation causing shortages of liveable housing, Union members are expected to take on as many refugees as they can support for the duration of the crisis. They will also be required to participate in all efforts to repair the damages and if necessary provide refugees transport from and back to their homeland. No nation is required to allow any refugees to remain within their nation once the crisis has ended.

Mediterranican Union Security Policy

Mutual Defence Agreement

Should a member be invaded, all member states shall be prepared to provide any form of intervention that the military engaged member asks of them. In the case of a member state already militarily engaged, it may ask the Mediterranican Union Council to be pardoned from committing aid. All nuclear capable states are to defend non-nuclear capable states in the event of a threat from weapons of mass destruction. In case of possible attack on member state territory with weapons of mass destruction, all member states strategic defences will act against the threat together.

WMD Declaration Act

In the interests of determining which member states can provide weapons of mass destruction capabilities to non-weapons of mass destruction capable states and to ascertain the danger posed to the Union and the Mediterranican region should revolution, invasion or terrorism threaten to overturn a member nations weapons of mass destruction into non-allied hands, all WMD capable states must announce the size and type of their arsenal to the Mediterranican Union Council. This information will not be revealed to any other party or used for any purposes other than those stated in this article.

Offensive Interest Agreement

In the case that a member state chooses to engage in offensive military activity of any kind against a non-Union nation, providing aid of any kind to said nation will be entirely optional, unless a majority consensus from the Mediterranican Union Council should deem providing aid to be necessary and beneficial to the goals of the entire Union, in which case Union states should (if at all possible) render assistance. This consensus should be validated throughout the duration of the conflict by the support of no less than half of the Mediterranican Union Council, otherwise it is becomes immediately null and void.

In the case that a member state chooses to engage in offensive military activity against another Union nation, no action shall be taken by any non-engaged member of the Union until the Mediterranican Union Council has decided upon a course of action (which should be as soon as possible from the onset of hostilities).

Cooperative Anti-crime and Terrorism

All member states fully and actively cooperate in the fight against crime, especially terrorism. All member states agree to actively pursue capturing persons on their territories that are being wanted in other member states for criminal activities. If member states arrest such a person then the criminal should be transferred back to the state where the crimes were committed. All member states law enforcement organizations will be members of Mediterranica Anti-Criminal Cooperation Unit. MACC’s only purpose is the effective sharing of information between member states to improve crime-fighting ability and it will not enforce any laws on its own.

Mediterranican Union Force Initiative

Mediterranican Expeditionary Forces

Forces deployed together will be required to fight together to ensure the best possible results, acting under the direction of the Mediterranican Union Council. The forces will plan together and elect an overall commander from amongst the present nations commanders.

Captured Territory

All territory taken by the forces under command of the Mediterranican Union Council is to utilised for the purposes of the Mediterranican region or to be divided up amongst the member states who contributed forces to the action.
