General Information
Methody was founded on the 14th October 2003 by Peteronia in conjunction with Arturria, Splendiferniss and Kamsaki. Since then an elaborate system of governance has emerged. The Head of the region is the Regional Founder, Peteronia, who holds the powers of the Regional Controls. However he is bound by the Whitla Convention and the Methodian Constitution not to use them unless emergency require it or the Disciplinary Committee authorises it.
The Discilplinary Committee (DC) is made up of the Founder, who acts as a neutral go between so cases can be kept anonymous if desired, and 3 other representatives from the region voted in by Single Transferable Vote. They are also bound by the Constitution to act lawfully. So far only five cases have been heard in the DC, of which only one has had action taken because of it. This was the illegal slaughter of refugees fleeing from the former Methodian nation of BlobbDobb to Peteronia and Kamsaki through Whitla by the former Methodian nation of Boxianing during the BlobbDobb-Boxianing War. These refugees are protected by the neutrality of Whitla under the Whitla Convention.
The Delegate only takes power when the founder is away. This is to protect the region from crashers.
The region is at this moment in a State of Emergency due to the huge slump in the number of nations. Losses are hoped to be recovered, yet these are difficult times for the region.
