VOTE: MPA Treaty Take 2

[Hileville]

The Treaty is as follows:

Any government of The Pacific, of The North Pacific, of The South Pacific, of The East Pacific, of The West Pacific, of Lazarus, or of The Rejected Realms which has ratified this Treaty likewise agrees to comply with the Values of this Alliance, agrees to send the required number of representatives to represent their region in this Alliance's official headquarters, and agrees to comply with the terms of this Treaty.



All member regions agree, by verifying this Treaty, to automatically comply with any future modifications made to it by the Alliance's Assembly. The Assembly must inform the governments of all involved regions of any changes made to this Treaty. Any MPA member region is at liberty to leave the Alliance at any time.



Any member region of The Modern Pacific Alliance will pledge no greater allegiance to any region, alliance, or organization that is not controlled solely by its own government (the government which has ratified this Treaty).



No government of any Modern Pacific Alliance member region which has ratified this Treaty will willingly allow itself to be replaced by any governmental body which originates from any place foreign to the MPA-involved region which it controls. No government of any Modern Pacific Alliance member region which has ratified this Treaty will allow itself to be usurped for the purposes of entities foreign to the MPA-involved region which it controls. Likewise, no government of any Modern Pacific Alliance member region will willingly allow its region to be exploited by any forces foreign to the MPA-involved region which it controls through action such as:[*:2xhqdw24]the distribution of World Assembly member nations (and subsequently the damage of the loyalty of the players behind said nations to their original, Pacific region and the damage of Pacific sovereignty itself) to foreign regions or organizations as if these nations were some sort of item meant for barter or to be used as currency,











[*:2xhqdw24]and the entrance of any Alliance-bound delegate?s voting power into any kind of World Assembly voting bloc foreign to the Pacifics and foreign to the MPA,







UNLESS any actions that would fall under the above classifications are brought before and subsequently approved by a simple majority vote of the MPA assembly.



No MPA-involved region's government which has ratified this Treaty will usurp or replace the government of another MPA-involved region.



The government of each region that ratifies the treaty of the Modern Pacific Alliance must do its best to accommodate the ideas and decisions of the assembly (in which their own representatives will participate) which pertain to aspects of the region over which said government reigns.



All those that would act out in opposition of the governments of each member region of the Modern Pacific Alliance are to be deemed "delinquents" and should be listed and described before the Assembly in the Modern Pacific Alliance's headquarters; however, any member region is at liberty to withhold any individual cases that they believe unnecessary or sensitive.



On the occasion of an emergency situation in a member region of the MPA (which is to be deemed as such by the government of the MPA-involved region in which the emergency situation is extant), the other member regions should attempt anything and everything within their power to end such a state of emergency and return the other member region to its former, stable, and secure state.

...and the Values are as follows:

We, the members of the Pacifics, of Lazarus, or of The Rejected Realms who represent our regions in this alliance, establish the following values for this body and agree to the terms put forth in this document.



No region that is not The Pacific, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, The East Pacific, The West Pacific, The Rejected Realms, or Lazarus may ever sign the treaty of and therefore be recognized as a member of the Modern Pacific Alliance nor will they ever send any representatives from their region to represent them as a member of the alliance's assembly.



The ROOT administrator of this alliance's forums is only to be replaced upon his or her resignation, after which the official representatives to this alliance will nominate and elect a new ROOT administrator. The new ROOT administrator must be elected by a 75% or higher vote for their admittance to the position by the alliance representatives.



Engineers of this alliance are those involved in the organization of the first meetings and creation of the original text of the alliance's Values and treaty. After the development stage of the alliance ends (once the first treaty is designed and accepted by at least two Pacific regions' current governments), the engineers will hold no position in the assembly here unless the government of their home region appoints them the position of a representative. Both this document and the treaty of the alliance will be signed by all of the engineers of this treaty.



Modern Pacific Alliance representatives will be appointed their position in this assembly by their home region's government if their home region is a member of this alliance. Every time a member region's government officially changes the region's delegate, it must appoint new representatives to the assembly or confirm that its former representatives will retain their positions. A member region of this alliance is at liberty to withdraw and replace its representatives at any time.



This document may only be edited if the edits -- which must be proposed to the representatives before the vote is cast and cannot be altered once the vote begins -- are proposed by an official representative to this body from any one of the Pacifics, from Lazarus, or from The Rejected Realms and if all of the representatives to this alliance vote for the proposed changes.



The treaty of this alliance may only be edited if the edits -- which must be proposed to the representatives before the vote is cast and cannot be altered once the vote begins -- are proposed by an official representative to this body from any one of the Pacifics, from Lazarus, or from The Rejected Realms and if 75% or more of the representatives to this alliance vote for the proposed changes.



The Modern Pacific Alliance's representative Assembly has no power to edit any textual components of an individual MPA-involved region's government, to force such edits upon the governments of MPA-involved regions, or to appoint/remove any of a MPA-involved region's governmental officials.



In no way shall any members of the Pacifics, of Lazarus, or of The Rejected Realms, should they be representatives of their regions to this alliance, violate the terms set forth in this document or in the treaty of this alliance and therefore betray this alliance and the regions which are an active part of it lest they be willing to immediately renounce their membership here (legal attempts to edit this document or to edit the alliance's treaty do not count as violations), and never will the other members of this alliance condone any activity that violates these terms.



If a representative to this alliance violates these terms or the terms of this alliance's treaty it will be the duty of the other representatives to indict and remove them and the duty of the region which they represented to provide a new representative.



If it is deemed that the region which has provided the delinquent representative(s) has itself compelled their representative(s) to violate the terms of this document or the terms of this alliance's treaty, it will be the duty of the remaining representatives of the alliance to bar that region from participation in this alliance until certain requirements set by the remaining representatives are fulfilled or until a certain period of time set by the remaining representatives elapses.



Any representative may submit a Pact to the Assembly which can affect the workings of MPA-involved regions. Pacts may be sponsored by one nation from any member region of the MPA. Pacts may contradict neither the Values of the MPA nor the MPA Treaty nor any preexisting Pacts in any way. Pacts must be approved by a majority vote of the MPA Aseembly in order to be sent to the governments of all MPA-involved regions for ratification. Pacts will only take effect in MPA-involved regions that have chosen to approve them; those that refuse to ratify Pacts will not be required to abide by their terms. Only member regions of the MPA may approve official MPA Pacts. Any MPA member region which has ratified a Pact may retract that ratification at any time to terminate a Pact's influence on their region. Any Pacts may be removed from all areas of effect at any time by a 75% majority vote of the MPA Assembly.
