Constiution of The Dominion

Amendments will be considered by the Senate when a nation brings forth there request for amendment.

Article I: Governing Structure

UN Delegate: The Dominions representative in the United Nations & can aprove or veto all proposals agreed upon by the Senate.

Founder [Zanziik]: Enforces Laws

Senate Members: Votes on new laws. New nations wishing to become Senate nations must be aproved by the current members of the Senate to join. Can override U.N. delegate veto by aproval of 3/4 of the Senators.

Nation Members: May make proposals to Senators.

Article Ib: UN Delegate Voteing

A vote every month for a new delegate shall occur. Second to last week of the month we choose candidates for the position, then they debate for the third week until saturday, when a period of one week for voting begins. The voting will end when either only one candidate remains (dropout), or after vote count when polls close. The elected delegate must be endorsed by every senate member nation, and impeachement and early elections will happen if 2/3 of the senate approve it. The current delegate always gets to run for the position again, but non-delegate senate members must be nominated to run.

The senate should have the power to remove delegate status should those powers be abused. Furthur more delegates should only be able to run for that position after they have served a term as senator.

Article Ic: Founder Status

In the event our founder is jailed or worst, UN delegate should be able to assume founder status only untill the senate can choose it's next course of action.

Regional control for this purpose should be jointly held by the Founder and the UN Delegate.

Article Id: Nation Members

After a grace period nation members may apply for senatorships.

Article Ie: Senator Impeachment

1. He commits a Crime, by not following laws passed by the Senate. 2. He disrupts or impedes the Law making Process.

The Senate should will have the power to impeach the Delegate with a 4/5 vote. This is a very serious occurence and we don't take it lightly.

Article II: Disputes Between Nations

Article IIa: If the parties can't come to a compromise a senate review board will be set-up and the senate shall decide the best course of action. There decision shall be final.

Article IIb: Remaining Dominion members MAY NOT become involved in the conflict UNLESS direct harm falls upon said nation/people.

Article III: Regional Court System

Article IIIa: The Regional Court of the Dominion shall be presided over by 5 justices, who are required to be Senate members. Should a judge commit a crime, a new justice will be elected to try him in his stead, and if the first judge is found guilty, substitute judge will become acting judge until scenario repeats.

Article IV: Rights of Individual Nations

Article IVa:Each nation in The Dominion MUST submit to this document, and if found to break this, shall be tried in the Regional Court (see article III). A nation in The Dominion has it's right to sovreignity, and that cannot be taken. Each nation has the right to do anything, but they must know that if it is in contest with this document or any other law documents to follow, action will be taken. Each nation has the right to free trade and travel within The Dominion, although they are not permitted to travel in any country that has not given their express permission that they may do so.

Dominion Regional Alliance

The Dominion Regional Alliance (DRA) is a voluntary membership military and commerce pact between member nations of The Dominion. The goal of the DRA to strengthen the Nations of the Dominion by joining them together to form a better union. By joining this alliance, all nations involved would be assured helpful military assistance (should they require or request it) in military operations of their choosing. All nations involved are available to form better national ties amongst one another and, thusly, can form greater ties to commerce.

DRA Rules

Members of the DRA shall govern themselves, and members will never try to force their will over any other members of the alliance. However, to ensure stability, there are some rules.

1. No member nation shall sponsor terrorism or support terrorists. Those who do will be immediately removed from the DRA.

2. All nations involved are required to exchange embassies with one another and open free trade relations with each other.

3. If a member nation is going to go to war or request help, they must provide valid reasoning.
