Preamble

The members of the Empire of Spades do agree and recognize the need for a charter to dictate how the alliance shall be run.

Article I. Governing the Alliance

The Empire of Spades shall be lead and controlled by an Ace, King, and four Jacks. Serving underneath each Jack will be a 10.

Section I. Ace
The Ace will be the executive leader of the alliance. He will have the power to sign and ratify treaties, appoint the King, and veto any amendments to this Charter. His term will be indefinite, until he resigns or is deposed by the general membership. Upon his exit from office the King will take his place. Should the King position be vacant when the Ace leaves service, the general membership will have the ability to elect a new Ace by popular vote.

Section II. King

The King will serve underneath the Ace. His duties will be to help manage and oversee the interior of the alliance. He can be removed by the Ace at any time, and if the position of King is vacant the Ace may appoint a new King at will.

Section III. Jacks
There will be 5 Jacks in the alliance, each elected for 2 months at a time by the general membership. Elections will be held on the 20th of every second month for each of the Jack positions. Each of the Jacks may appoint their own deputies or other members to help them as they see fit.

Subsection A. Jack of Spades
The Jack of Spades’ duties will be to maintain a strong standing military force in each nation of the alliance, to promote and encourage tactics and strategies, organize responses to attacks on member nations, and educate member nations about the art of war.

Subsection B. Jack of Diamonds
The Jack of Diamonds' duties will be to promote strong trade within the alliance, ensure a strong supply of resources, manage the alliance's finances, and promote the general welfare of nations.

Subsection D. Jack of Clubs

The Jack of Clubs’ duties will be to help recruit new nations and promote growth in the alliance.

Subsection E. Jack of Hearts
The Jack of Hearts’ duties will be to promote strong relationships between the Empire of Spades and allied alliances, appoint ambassadors and diplomats to other alliances, and be responsible for other alliance's embassies on our own forum.

Section IV. 10s
10s' duties are to serve their respective Jack. The departments of Defense, Economics, Interior, and Foreign Affairs will all have a 10. The 10 will be chosen by the respective Jack and will serve until a new Jack is elected.

Article II. Membership

Any nation that is not involved in any wars and is not blacklisted or targeted by any alliance that is an ally of the Empire of Spades is eligible to apply to join the Empire of Spades. To join the alliance, the member must apply in-game and post an application in the designated subforum on the EoS forum.

Article III. Removal of Executives
Any nation may trigger a call to oust the Ace of the alliance at a limit of one call per week. When a call is initiated a vote will be held on whether or not to remove the Ace from his position. To remove the Ace from his position, at least 75% of the membership must vote in agreement. Should the vote pass, the Ace must step down from his position and allow the King to take over.

Article IV. Amending the Charter

Amendments to the Charter may be proposed by any member at any time. When an amendment is proposed, the membership must have at least a 75% agreement in favor of the amendment for it to come into effect. The Ace will have the power to veto any amendment so long as he is in power.

Article V. Ratification

On this date 23 April 2014 this Charter is ratified by the government of the Empire of Spades.
