I submit this proposal on behalf of the Constitutional Convention:
- Quote:
-
Amendment VII. Founders Author: Tsruhkwah Submitted: April 29th, 2013
- Recognizing the flaw in Article III. Section IV. that prevents The Second Republic of New Sorvun to remove a founder should they be disruptive or negligent in their duties to The Second Republic of New Sorvun;
- Understanding that the Foundership is important to regional security and thus can only be entrusted to citizens that have proven themselves dedicated to the region of New Sorvun;
- And Acknowledging that as our region evolves so to does the Constitution of The Second Republic of New Sorvun;
- Therefore, let it be resolved by the League of Nations that Article III. Section IV of the Constitution of The Second Republic of New Sorvun be amended as follows:
- Quote:
-
Section IV. Founder.
- The Founder is the controller of the nation which founded the region of New Sorvun.
Subsection I. Role of the Founder
- The Founder, by default, has access to the regional controls, however the Founder can not ban or eject a nation without order from the Lord Chancellor or World Court.
- Such bans or ejections can not be reversed without an order from the Lord Chancellor, the World Court, or at the completion of a criminal sentence.
- The Founder is not given preferential or prejudicial treatment on the forums of New Sorvun. They are afforded the same rights as any citizen.
Subsection II. Retirement- Should the Founder decide to retire from the foundership, the Lord Chancellor shall assume control (or appoint someone in his stead, with consent of the LoN) of the founding nation account.
- The retiring Founder must provide password information before retiring.
- In the case of multiple retirements, each time control of the founding nation account changes hands, the password must be changed, and a log of who controlled the founding nation must be kept.
Subsection III. CTE-
- Should the Founder fall so inactive as to cause the regional founding nation to "cease to exist" (CTE), and if the founding nation can not be resurrected within a week of CTE, the following changes take place:
- The endorsement cap will be changed to where a WA nation can not be within ten percent (10% or 1/10 ) of endorsements of the ruling Delegate.
- The Delegate election will be postponed until the founding nation is resurrected or a re-founding is underway.
- The Delegate, with permission from the Lord Chancellor, can privately password protect the region. The Lord Chancellor must be informed of the regional password.
- The Lord Chancellor can call for a public referendum to determine if the region should be re-founded. This referendum requires a 3/5 majority among all voting citizens.
Subsection IV. Dereliction of Duties
- Should the citizenry of New Sorvun feel that through their actions, or inactions, the Founder is failing to fufill their role properly, they can propose a re-founding vote in the LoN. This proposal requires a two-thirds majority of all those who vote to pass, and can be either vetoed by the Lord Chancellor or ruled invalid by the World Court.
- Should the proposal to re-found pass the LoN, Lord Chancellor and World Court, the Founder no longer has legitimate control of the founding nation of New Sorvun and can be removed in any way that the government of New Sorvun sees fit.
Subsection V. Refounding- Should a referendum on re-founding, or a proposal to re-found, pass, the re-founding must follow this procedure:
- All recruiting efforts must be stopped during the re-founding process.
- All information on the World Factbook will be copied and stored on the forums.
- Only active, core members can be considered for Founder. The core members to be considered are listed below:
- Deckard Christopher
- Innucinsar
- Ironicness
- Karputsk
- Likako
- Roy Mustang
- Tsruhkwah
The new Founder will be decided by an election, unless only one of the above eligible candidates steps forward.
- All nations must be informed of the decision to re-found and be invited to move to another temporary region, to be chosen by the Lord Chancellor.
- If any nations remain in New Sorvun a week after the initiation of the refounding process, then the Delegate can banject the remaining nations just prior to the next update, thus allowing the region to CTE.
- Once the region CTEs, the new Founder will re-found the region with the exact same name, and all the information from the World Factbook shall be restored as it was.
- A new Delegate election will be held (regardless how long the previous ruling Delegate has held the position). Until the election is complete, the newly re-founded region will be in a State of Emergency.
- Red-colored text shall be struck, and green-colored text shall be added.
I also included the "list" formatting if that is okay, other than that the proposed changes are only those made by Tsruhkwah et al. via the Constitutional Convention.

Do we really need another debating period? I thought we'd already had the discussion.
