I submit before the League of Nations the following proposal, with the intent that such be passed into Law.

Commonwealth Representation Directive
Author: Likako A. Nehio
Submitted to the Floor: December 28th, 2012



  1. Recognizing that The Second Republic of New Sorvun ("New Sorvun") has ratified the Charter of the Commonwealth of Regions ("Charter"), thereby becoming a member region of the Commonwealth of Regions (CoR), and;
  2. Understanding that the Charter extends each member region the right to choose, as it sees fit, its representation in the CoR, and;
  3. Realizing that the Charter is a treaty between regions, and thereby it is extra-constitutional, it falls upon the League of Nations to legislate this process.


Therefore, upon passage by the League of Nations, the process shall be directed in the following manner:


  1. Senators
    1. As defined by the Charter, New Sorvun must have two Senators in the Senate.
    2. Senators have a term length of three months
    3. Election for Senators will be held on the same day as the Lord Chancellor Election
    4. Any Citizen of New Sorvun, in good standing, is eligible to run for one Senator seat.

  2. Justice of the High Court
    1. As defined by the Charter, New Sorvun must have one Justice of the High Court.
    2. The Tribunal Seat shall go to the High Judicator.

      1. If the High Judicator holds another Commonwealth position, such as Secretary General, Senator, or High Justice of the High Court of the CoR, or it becomes vacated, then the most senior Judicator shall take the position of Tribune for the remainder of the term.

  3. Secretary General

    1. The Secretary General, as defined by the Charter, is the Chief Executive of the CoR.
    2. Any Citizen of New Sorvun, in good standing, is eligible to run for Secretary General, unless he already holds another position such as Senator, Justice or High Justice of the High Court.

  4. Elections will be held following the typical Election Protocols already in place.
  5. Interim: Should either Senate seat become vacant, the Lord Chancellor may appoint someone to fill the seat for the remainder of the term, so long as the appointee does not already hold a Senate seat for New Sorvun, is the Justice of the High Court for New Sorvun, or is the Secretary General.
  6. Security Council: As stated in the Charter, New Sorvun, as a founding member region, has one seat on the Security Council.

    1. The seat shall be filled by the Lord Chancellor, and become the Regional Administrator for New Sorvun ("Regional Admin").
    2. The Regional Admin is restricted to the use of his administrative abilities to the regional forum zones designated for New Sorvun, and the Communal zones, however use in the Communal zones must follow any procedural protocols mandated by the Security Council, the Charter, or laws passed by the Senate of the CoR.
    3. Misuse of administrative powers or the refusal to relinquish them should the incumbent not be re-elected as Lord Chancellor shall be deemed a felony, and thereby is an impeachable offense

  7. Aside from the powers defined in the Charter and this Directive, these positions aforementioned shall not be given extra privileges or powers nor privileges or powers be restricted to them as mere consequence of holding these positions.
  8. (Optional) To designate the two Senator seats, honorary titles are attached, one shall be designated "The Duchy of Eraun", the other shall be designated "The Duchy of Atrigeas", as such holders of these seats may affix the titles of "Duke/Duchess" upon them. Also, New Sorvun's Justice of the High Court of the Commonwealth shall have the honorary title, "Earl of Sorvun"

I believe this is a sound Directive and a good process in which we elect our Commonwealth representatives.

Where did this come from? Seems totally random and unnecessary to me.

It was merely an afterthought, something I thought that would give a little flair, that is why it is optional, so if there is a majority here that wish to see it struck from the proposal, I will gladly do so.

I didn't even see that last little section, but now that I see it, I would rather see it stricken from the proposal. I am completely against any titles of nobility or anything close to it. To be honest, I'd also like to see other titles be changed but that's for a different time.

An issue has come forth that the High Court of the Commonwealth needs to address, so it is very important that we finish any discussion we have left and move on to the voting step. Just a reminder currently on the floor is a motion to remove the above-stated portion of the proposal.

I think the aristocratic titles segment should be removed and we should move to a vote asap. Atlantis have already chosen their representatives.

Though I disagree with the use of "he" in Section III b, I can find no other fault with this piece of legislation. The Innucinsar vote is AYE.
