Why the sudden change, Tsru?
As far as I'm aware my views haven't changed. I was always in favour of removing New Sorvun masking from inactive forum users, but kicking people from the region is something we've never done before and I think it's a rather large and drastic step.

I understand and I've been sitting on the dilemma for months because this would be a dramatic change in our region, but if they want to truly be a part of this region they will come back and we can explain to them why they were ejected and guide them to be a more active participant.

@Iro: I agree as far as the account deletion part goes, however we do not need the CoR's interference when it comes to banning the offenders from our region. We should be able to say, "Account X must be banned from New Sorvun's regional forums for Y days as accordance to Z law." and the admins follow through end of story.

Author: Likako A. Nehio

Article I. The Census

    1. A Census must be conducted at a minimum of once every month.

    2. Each nation must indicate all puppets it has in New Sorvun Jurisdiction
    3. Each nation can submit their Census form either in the appropriate section of the forum, or in a telegram to the Delegate of New Sorvun
    4. Once the Census closes, there will be one week given for late entries.
    5. After that week for late entries ends, all nations that are not indicated on the Census form will be ejected from New Sorvun jurisdiction.
    6. Only ambassadors from regions we with established embassies, or those who are in the process of establishing an embassy with New Sorvun are allowed to remain in New Sorvun Jurisdiction

  2. New Sorvun Jurisdiction includes the following regions:
    • New Sorvun
    • New Sorvun Republic
    • Sorvun
    • Sorvun II
    • The Commonwealth of Regions
      1. The extent of jurisdiction for the Commonwealth of Regions is for the retention of citizenship.

Section III. Retaining Citizenship
  1. For a citizen to retain citizenship he must:
    1. Maintain at least one nation in New Sorvun Jurisdiction
    2. Participate in the Census as defined in Article I. Section II.
      1. If a citizen misses one Census, he is given a warning.
      2. If after the warning he fails to participate in the next Census, his citizenship and all rights granted thereto is revoked.
      3. If after a third Census the revoked citizen fails to participate, he is ejected from New Sorvun jurisdiction and must re-apply for citizenship


Article II. Multiple Accounts and Fraud

Section I. Defining Multiple Accounts
  1. Possessing Multiple Accounts is defined as two or more forum accounts that have identical or near-identical IP addresses
  2. Account Fraud is defined as one individual possessing two citizen accounts in New Sorvun.
  3. Voter Fraud is defined as one individual utilizing multiple accounts to influence an election ballot, legislation vote, judicial ruling or any process in New Sorvun jurisdiction that involves a vote of some kind.
  4. Corruption is defined as one individual utilizing multiple accounts to hold multiple positions in New Sorvun government.

Section II. Punishment for Possession of Multiple Accounts and Fraud.
  1. Possession of Multiple Accounts:
    • First Offense: The offender, if found guilty, must choose which account to keep and the other accounts shall be deleted from the forums.
    • Second Offense: The offender, if found guilty, shall have all accounts banned from New Sorvun for two weeks (14 days)
    • Third Offense: The offender, if found guilty, shall have all accounts banned from New Sorvun and related nations ejected and banned from New Sorvun Jurisdiction for one month (30 days)
    • Further Offense: The offender, if found guilty, shall have all accounts banned from New Sorvun and related nations ejected and banned from New Sorvun Jurisdiction indefinitely.

  2. Account Fraud:
    • First Offense: The offender, if found guilty, must delete all but one account within two weeks of conviction
      1. If the offender does not comply, the offender will be banned from New Sorvun and all related nations ejected and banned from New Sorvun Jurisdiction for two weeks (14 days)

    • Second Offense: The offender, if found guilty, is banned from New Sorvun and all related nations ejected and banned from New Sorvun Jurisdiction for one month (30) days

  5. Each additional account counts as an additional charge, and the World Court has discretion if multiple charges are served concurrently or consecutively. Therefore, even if the offender was charged with one of these criminal charges for the first time with multiple counts it accumulates towards the number of offenses and punishment must be dealt accordingly
  6. Possession of Multiple Accounts is a misdemeanor for the first offense, beyond the first offense it is a felony charge and therefore an impeachable offense.
  7. Account Fraud, Voter Fraud, and Corruption are all felonies and therefore are an impeachable offense. If an impeachment is called for, the punishment for being impeached is dealt in addition to whatever punishment for these criminal acts has been dealt.

Article III. Active Participation

Section I. Defining Active
  1. A citizen shall be considered active if at least one of these conditions is met:
    • A minimum of one post on either the New Sorvun forums or Regional Message Board a week (7 days)
      1. Posts in spam areas do not count toward this minimum

    • Voting in the League of Nations, at least once per month, where possible.
    • Participating in a mission as a member of the New Sorvun military at least once per month.
    • Send at least 50 recruitment messages on behalf of New Sorvun once per month.
    • Send updates or make posts in New Sorvun's embassies as an ambassador once per month or participate on New Sorvun's behalf in any inter-regional organizations
      1. This condition alone will not be considered active, an additional condition must be met alongside this condition in order to be considered active.

Section II. Population and Good Standing.

  1. The population of New Sorvun is the number of active citizens, and this number shall be used when determining processes, such as the number of Judicators, that depend on the number of active citizens.
  2. Good Standing is defined as an active citizen that has not been convicted of a felony for at least three months



Mr. Speaker, I request that the Debate Stage be extended for another two days, as this particular proposal has yet to be sorted completely and thus needs more time to reach its final form.

Kardas is the ambassador from Trav Khar, which is a member of the FRA, and therefore an ally. Should I include a clause that allows ambassadors from allied regions to remain in the region as well?

I didn't realise Trav Khar was a member of the FRA, but that extra clause sounds great. Kardas has kept his nation alive as long as we've been a region so it would be cruel for him not to be exempted.

Whilst I can understand the desire to have a region made up just of "known" people, I still can't support ejecting people. What happens when we do start recruiting and we get new members? It won't look good that every month we boot half of them.

Nay.
