== The Accords==
 
== The Accords==
  
−
The Accords is the New Carta Magna of the Meritocracy. Created by Aesculapius's Primero Lucianno. The idea of this new charter came after the renewal of the Meritocracy.
+
'''''Some men and women become great through chance or luck. Others have become great through skill, talent, and desire. The Meritocracy is as the word implies, a group of highly motivated, highly competitive and highly competent leaders who truly believe that how well you, as the leader of your nation, have performed within the realm of NationStates will be a good indication to how successful you will be in joining The Meritocracy. Within any organization of meritocrats, structure is needed, wanted, and lives within The Accords.'''''
  
−
The Accords started as the "Aesculapian Ideas" here presented,
+
'''''The Accords serves as the document that guides both the spirit and letter of The Meritocracy. Senators regard it with reverence, knowing that the power they enjoy is derived from this document ratified by our founding fathers. The government set forth by The Accords is split into two basic parts: The Curia and The Executors.'''''
  
−
Various proposals that I'll throw out here for possible implementation in a new Charter/Treaty:
+
* ''The Executors''
 +
Beginning with the Executors, they are comprised of the Consul, Censor, Praetor, and Quaestor.
  
−
- Ability for Senators to call for the expulsion vote of any Senator, if seconded and thirded. Expulsion vote does not necessarily have to be a simple majority, but I think that given the tendency for Senators to vote to keep people in, a simple majority would not be unreasonable.
+
'''The Consul''' bears the responsibility to lead the Senate and is the head of the government. The Consul position requires leadership, time, dedication and skill.
  
−
- More elections. I know that in the past, we've said that Consuls should have the ability to pick people that work best with them, and it is a nice feeling to get picked as an officer, but I think that the officer jobs should be elected in a staggered manner. Eliminate the position of Vice-Consul, and set up a temporary line of succession in case the Consul is incapacitated/resigns, which would hold the fort until an emergency Consular election. Elections are fun, and it would give more of a chance for people to hold official positions.
+
'''The Censor''' is the administative guru of The Meritocracy. He/She administers elections, legislative votes, and membership applications. The Censor updates important record keeping documents and is tasked with the unenviable job of ensuring that these and other logistical functions of The Meritocracy run smoothly and efficiently.  
  
−
- Restore "abstain" to work like this:
+
'''The Praetor''' is the internal guru of The Meritocracy. If it deals with banking, trade, or anything financial, the buck stops with the Praetor. The Praetor has the responsibility of dealing with the Meritocracy's prefectures and integrating them into the Meritocracy, the Praetor is also responsible, in part, for facilitating the roleplay environment within the Meritocracy.
−
In any case, here's a way to think about it that makes logical sense: when counting votes, you count the number of votes that are "aye" and "nay" compared to the TOTAL number of people that have voted. That way, the people that are abstaining technically aren't voting either way, but majority passes are harder to attain.
+
  
−
(If that doesn't make sense- let's say 4 people voted aye, 3 voted nay, and 3 abstained. In our current system, bill passes. Under this new system, it doesn't- only a 40% approval) It is far better to err on the side of caution with citizenship applications, legislation votes, etc. Too many people abstain, which is problematic.
+
'''The Quaestor''' is the foreign affairs minister of The Meritocracy. The Quaestor may establish diplomatic relations with other regions, perform due dilligence for perspective applicants' background, and other intelligence related activities.
  
−
- Eliminate the MoJ. Keep the Tribune position, which would act essentially as the Chief Justice does currently in guiding a trial. However, the trial process should be simple: Censor as prosecutor, Tribune as judge, defendant can retain counsel, Senate acts as jury. Trials should not take longer than a month.  
+
Unlike many other regions, the Meritocracy does not include the positions of Tribune and Aedile within the executive, in this case the Executors. In the beginning, The Accords ratifiers believed that the Tribune should be outside the administrative sphere and instead act as a counterweight to both the Executors and the Senate, at large. The Aedile's responsibilities did not seem to merit inclusion within the Executors, but as The Accords is an ever living document - changes could occure. However, both positions are very important and vital to the life of the Meritocracy.  
  
−
- Move GUSTO here, (not really part of the Charter, but still a good thing) get the MCB back on track.
+
'''The Tribune''' is the ultimate jurist and justice within the Meritocracy, with ability to rule on legislation as well as the legality of actions. The Tribune has the power to speak against proposed legislation, thereby requiring that legislation to receive a higher majority than before to pass.
  
−
- Remove officer restrictions on who can run for Consul, BUT, Senators that have not been officers should require an extra # of people to nominate them. (5 wouldn't be too unreasonable, I don't think)
+
'''The Aedile''' is the mouthpiece of the Meritocracy among Senators and the world. Much of their responsibility revolves around producing media applications as well as encouraging foreign emigration. By tradition, the Aedile is in charge of [[InterMet]], the Meritocracy's news service.
  
−
- Keep the Ministries. I know people have been saying to get rid of them, but they really do help organize things and keep stuff together. Also, without Ministries, the various Ministers would have much less to guide them do their jobs. If necessary, we can get rid of Ministry votes, but I don't feel it's necessary- few bills have actually been rejected by Ministry.
+
*''The Curia''
 +
One of the drawbacks of the Old Meritocracy was that it did not allow Senators to speak within ALL of the different departments. The Accords has solved this problem with the creation of Curia. Headed by the Aedile, Censor, Praetor, and Quaestor respectively, the Curia Nuntii, Informationis, Rei Familiaris, and Legationis serve as the legislative committees for the Senate. Based upon the duties of their Executor or Officer in the case of the Aedile, the Curia begin the legislative process. For legislation to move from within the Curia to the full Senate floor the majority of the Executor and the two Patricians of that Curia must accent to its passage.  
  
−
After many rounds of modifying it became what they are now.
+
*''Expulsions''
 +
Unfortunately, even among the greatest NationStates players, there will come a time when a Senator may need to be expelled because of inactivity or committing crimes against the Accords/Meritocracy. In order for an expulsion vote to occur, one quarter of the Senate must sign a petition calling for such a vote. If the requisite Senators sign the petition, then in order for the Senator to be expelled three-fifths of the Senators voting must agree to expelling the Senator. If a crime has been committed, the case will be brought before the tribune an 3/5 of the Senate still must approve the expulsion.

Latest revision as of 14:52, 15 February 2007

The Meritocracy is a close alliance of regions, with The New Meritocracy as its capital. It is governed as one region by a democratically elected body called The Senate, members of which are prohibited from joining the United Nations. The Senate is headed by the Consul, who is elected from amongst The Senate. Other officers of the Senate are Censor, Quaestor, Praetor, Tribune, and Aedile. It has a governing document that goes by the name of The Accords and a body of laws, which can be amended and changed by a democratic proposal to the Senate.

The Meritocracy has traditionally held in high esteem the values of national sovereignty and capitalism, though there are notable exceptions. These values have been manifested in the continued membership of the Alliance of Capitalists, Conservatives, and Economic Libertarians (ACCEL).

Senators

There are currently 27 nations who hold Senate seats in The Meritocracy:

The Accords

Some men and women become great through chance or luck. Others have become great through skill, talent, and desire. The Meritocracy is as the word implies, a group of highly motivated, highly competitive and highly competent leaders who truly believe that how well you, as the leader of your nation, have performed within the realm of NationStates will be a good indication to how successful you will be in joining The Meritocracy. Within any organization of meritocrats, structure is needed, wanted, and lives within The Accords.

The Accords serves as the document that guides both the spirit and letter of The Meritocracy. Senators regard it with reverence, knowing that the power they enjoy is derived from this document ratified by our founding fathers. The government set forth by The Accords is split into two basic parts: The Curia and The Executors.

  • The Executors

Beginning with the Executors, they are comprised of the Consul, Censor, Praetor, and Quaestor.

The Consul bears the responsibility to lead the Senate and is the head of the government. The Consul position requires leadership, time, dedication and skill.

The Censor is the administative guru of The Meritocracy. He/She administers elections, legislative votes, and membership applications. The Censor updates important record keeping documents and is tasked with the unenviable job of ensuring that these and other logistical functions of The Meritocracy run smoothly and efficiently.

The Praetor is the internal guru of The Meritocracy. If it deals with banking, trade, or anything financial, the buck stops with the Praetor. The Praetor has the responsibility of dealing with the Meritocracy's prefectures and integrating them into the Meritocracy, the Praetor is also responsible, in part, for facilitating the roleplay environment within the Meritocracy.

The Quaestor is the foreign affairs minister of The Meritocracy. The Quaestor may establish diplomatic relations with other regions, perform due dilligence for perspective applicants' background, and other intelligence related activities.

Unlike many other regions, the Meritocracy does not include the positions of Tribune and Aedile within the executive, in this case the Executors. In the beginning, The Accords ratifiers believed that the Tribune should be outside the administrative sphere and instead act as a counterweight to both the Executors and the Senate, at large. The Aedile's responsibilities did not seem to merit inclusion within the Executors, but as The Accords is an ever living document - changes could occure. However, both positions are very important and vital to the life of the Meritocracy.

The Tribune is the ultimate jurist and justice within the Meritocracy, with ability to rule on legislation as well as the legality of actions. The Tribune has the power to speak against proposed legislation, thereby requiring that legislation to receive a higher majority than before to pass.

The Aedile is the mouthpiece of the Meritocracy among Senators and the world. Much of their responsibility revolves around producing media applications as well as encouraging foreign emigration. By tradition, the Aedile is in charge of InterMet, the Meritocracy's news service.

  • The Curia

One of the drawbacks of the Old Meritocracy was that it did not allow Senators to speak within ALL of the different departments. The Accords has solved this problem with the creation of Curia. Headed by the Aedile, Censor, Praetor, and Quaestor respectively, the Curia Nuntii, Informationis, Rei Familiaris, and Legationis serve as the legislative committees for the Senate. Based upon the duties of their Executor or Officer in the case of the Aedile, the Curia begin the legislative process. For legislation to move from within the Curia to the full Senate floor the majority of the Executor and the two Patricians of that Curia must accent to its passage.

  • Expulsions

Unfortunately, even among the greatest NationStates players, there will come a time when a Senator may need to be expelled because of inactivity or committing crimes against the Accords/Meritocracy. In order for an expulsion vote to occur, one quarter of the Senate must sign a petition calling for such a vote. If the requisite Senators sign the petition, then in order for the Senator to be expelled three-fifths of the Senators voting must agree to expelling the Senator. If a crime has been committed, the case will be brought before the tribune an 3/5 of the Senate still must approve the expulsion.

History

Main article: History of the Meritocracy, as written by Former Senator, Lord Tom from Thomasia

ACCEL

The Alliance of Capitalist Conservatives and Economic Libertarians, is an organization created by Former Meritocrat, Jasque, former Consul, The Anti Commi Clan, and Wegason.
