With our refounding and exodus/migration to a new region, it was discussed that the focus needs to be put back into RP and not on OOC disputes. To this end, myself and several other members came up with a system that will serve the region well in this capacity. Administration The Founder shall hold ultimate administrative, out-of-character authority, and shall freely exercise those powers granted to him by the game mechanics. The Founder shall be assisted in his administration of the region by the Regional Delegate, who shall be elected every three months in accordance with established regional practice. The Delegate may serve no more than two consecutive terms, but may serve an indefinite number of non-consecutive terms. A Vice-Delegate shall also be elected to serve alongside the Regional Delegate for a period of three months; candidates for Delegate may select a candidate for Vice Delegate to be a member of their voting line. Prospective Vice Delegates may not be permanent members of the Arbitration Board. The duties and powers of the Delegate shall devolve to the Vice-Delegate in the event that the Delegate is unable or ineligible to do so. The Vice Delegate shall also be responsible for the collection and enrollment of all roleplay populations in accordance with the rules of the region, and shall also be responsible for disseminating an easily available list of national populations. In-character authority is vested in an Arbitration Board, comprised of four permanent members: Leasath, Pauldustllah, Ghant, and Kirav. The Vice Delegate shall serve as a fifth member of the Board during his or her term as Vice Delegate. The Arbitration Board shall act as the final arbitrator of disputes concerning roleplay. In the event of a tie among the Arbitration Board, the Founder shall cast the deciding vote. If the Founder's nation is party to the dispute, the power to break the tie passes to the Delegate, and if the Delegate is similarly indisposed, the matter shall go to a vote of the region as a whole. The Arbitration Board may also be empowered by the Founder or the Delegate as they sees fit to resolve a matter of out-of-character dispute. Elections In order to be eligible to vote in regional elections, members must not be related (particularly as siblings or as other demonstrably close kin) to another member (in which case the member of the two which has been in Ixnay the longest shall have the ability to vote), must have been registered on the forum for at least one month prior to the final day of the election, and must have made at least one post on the forum prior to the first day of the election. The Delegate and Founder shall be responsible for counting and determining vote finals. The Arbitration Board shall be empowered to challenge any election result and, if need be, call for a re-count election by a majority vote of the Board. Subregions The Delegate and Founder shall be empowered to create certain subregions, which shall have special protections, may set their own special rules in addition to this statute, and shall have a subregional Director, which shall be appointed by a majority of those within the subregion. Neither the Delegate nor the Founder may eject a member of a subregion without approval from the subregional Director. Subregions may not be dissolved without majority consent of those within the subregion. The Delegate and/or Founder may only change subregional rules with two thirds approval of those within subregion, or with consent of subregional Director. The Delegate and/or the Founder may not place nations in subregion without consent of the subregional Director. In the event that a region merges into Ixnay to become a subregion, any regional laws at time of merger are in effect within the subregion, unless region agrees to drop said laws in order to accommodate merger. Roleplay Standards and Conventions Roleplay shall be governed by the body of conventions developed by the International Incidents community and the standards set forth in this document. These standards and conventions shall form the basis for rulings of the Arbitration Board. These standards and conventions shall form the basis for rulings of the Greater Ixnay exists in Modern Tech techspace. Technologies used in combat, combat support, or indirectly related to warfare in a way that couldreasonably affect the outcome of an armed conflict (e.g. manufacturing and transport) must be within the realm of that which is currently deployed IRL or slated to be deployed in the near future (<20 years). Technologies not germane to warfare as described above are not subject to regulation. Nations that do not engage in warfare may freely develop moreadvanced technologies, but warfaring nations may not obtain regulated technologies from these nations by any means. As a quantitative measure of state capabilities is essential to realistic and enjoyable roleplay, players will operation using statistics considered from their declared roleplaying population in conjunction with gameplay factors from NSEcnomy. Players shall be capped ICly to a population which is 1/10th of their in-game population (for example, a twenty billion player will be capped at two billion ICly), unless they have an in-game population of less than one billion, at which point they will have an allowed cap of 100 million as an IC population. Their economy shall be determined by multiplying their population by their GDP per capita extrapolated via NSEconomy. Players must declare their in-game population, and may only do so once (and will either do so at the enactment of this statute or when joining the region) per calendar year, on or after the first of June, and the Vice Delegate shall be responsible for compiling the list of populations and shall also be responsible for ensuring the declared populations are in accordance with the statute. The players shall be responsible for determining their defense budget out of their new GDP, however defense spending percentage is still binding. Aside from defense spending, a player is free to choose how the remainder of his budget will be spent. A calculator will be provided for players to use to determine their GDP, but will not be determined for players. If a nation has no defense budget, they may use up to one half of their law and order budget for a national defense force, which may not be used for offensive actions, but may be used purely defensively or to reinforce an ally. A player may, however, use their military funded from their law and order line in an offensive capacity if all parties in a war consent. Amendments The Fundamental Statute shall be amended by the process of convention; the Founder, the Delegate, the Vice Delegate, the four members of the Arbitration Panel, and two at-large representatives (selected by process of nomination in which five nominations are required to serve; first two to five shall serve; if a permanent member of the Arbitration Panel also serves as Delegate, a third at-large representative shall be nominated to serve) will discuss any proposed changes to the statute, and they shall be discussed by secret IRC or whatever other communication means are deemed proper. Quorum for meetings and decisions of convention shall be set at five. Binding decisions of the convention shall be set at a three fifths majority of those in attendance of the meetings, and binding votes can only be taken when at least one of the Delegate or Founder is in attendance of the vote. In addition, any decision of the convention can be vetoed if the Founder and Delegate do so in concurrence; an overturn of veto can be done so only with a two thirds vote of the membership of the region. A request for an override vote must have ten members submit as a petition to both the Founder and Delegate. Alternatively, upon agreement of the Founder and Delegate and at their discretion, a poll may be run to eligible members of the region as a whole on a particular question relating to the Statute, at which time the decision of the members as a whole will be placed into the Statute as interpreted by the Delegate and Founder.

Arbitration Board Case 2: UIF Economy In the first case brought before the Arbitration Board, questions were risen by Urcea over the feasibility of the UIF's economy to not only exist, but allegedly thrive/grow, despite strained relationships with most of the top economic powers of the region, and little to no significant trade with them, not to mention the potentially existing sanctions and tariffs on UIF products. The UIF (myself) countered this by producing trade records showing over trillions in profits over recorded trade agreements, and a list of nations it had such agreements with. The list contained several nations, but of smaller economic prowess than the top economic powers. In the end, the arbitration board ruled in favor of the UIF economy's growth being sustainable, and according to member Leasath, ruled so unanimously. |

When asked whether or not a binding referendum constituted an election for the purposes of election eligibility, the result was yes; the board ruled 3-1 that the guidelines of an election do apply; the dissent argued that it did not, but that the particular referendum in question and those subsequent needed to follow election guidelines anyway as there is a lack, otherwise, of guidelines. |
