Introduction to Q102

The region of Q102 was founded in September 2004 by the nation Schotze with the assistance of Nevareion. It has since grown and despite early problems in the first elected government has a stable membership and a democratic parliamentary system. The region is focusing on developing roleplaying and it's government as well as beginning to reach out to the wider Nation States world, currently maintaining a neutral stance. It hopes to be an active, fun and friendly region and is happy to welcome both new and old nations.

The Constitution of Q102

Written by the first nations to settle the region and used as a basis for regional government.

Preamble

Q102 is to be run as a Republic. Members elect a Prime Minister Delegate who appoints Government Ministers and Works with the Senators to run the region.

General Description

An election is held with as many candidates as wish to stand. Candidates must be a UN member. Each candidate may choose to announce before the election who their Ministers might be (all, some or none) and what their policies are.

The candidate who gets the most votes is Prime Minister Delegate and forms the Government. The Prime Minister appoints a Cabinet of Ministers. These can be anyone the Prime Minister wishes. The Cabinet can propose laws or decisions but all Members of Q102 can vote on a law and a simple majority is required to pass it.

The Cabinet votes to make decisions. The Prime Minister may at any time have a Cabinet Reshuffle to reallocate Ministries. This may mean some members leave and become ordinary Members. Replacement Ministers may come from amongst the other Minister or their Deputies or from ordinary Members. Cabinet can act unilaterally without asking Parliament but this Emergency Act must be referred to Parliament as soon as possible.

Members can call a vote of no confidence in the Government, if such a vote is requested by one third of the ordinary Members, at one time, by petition presented to the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs. A vote must then be held in Parliament and 67% of the votes must be in favour for The Government to lose the vote and a new election to be called. This may not happen until at least 15 days after the last elections. The parliament is dissolved when 67% of all the Q102 members vote in favour, not simply 67% of those who voted. The dissolving of parliament requires the resignation of the whole government and a new general election.
