Charter[]
The Charter of The Orange Order
Preamble[]
The nations of The Orange Order come together in order to ensure a place of security, growth, and camaraderie.
Article 1 Membership[]
Any nation who agrees to abide by and accept this charter shall be admitted to The Orange Order, so long as they:
1. Are not a member of another alliance
2. Are not involved in any offensive wars
3. Are not blacklisted by another alliance
4. Have their national color as Orange
The Grand Chancellor can waive any of these requirements, as well as reject nations that do meet them, at his discretion. Admittance of a nation with defensive wars requires the Grand Chancellor's approval.
Article 2 The Grand Chancellor[]
The Grand Chancellor is the leader of The Orange Order. He leads until he either resigns or is impeached. If the Grand Chancellor resigns, he may appoint his successor. If he is impeached, then the Orange Circle must come up with a pool of candidates consisting of no less than 2 and no more than 4. A election will then be held which shall last 48 hours. The first candidate to get more than 50% of the votes shall become the Grand Chancellor. In the event no candidate gets enough votes, a run-off election will be held between the two candidates who received the most votes.
Article 3 The Orange Circle[]
The Orange Circle consists of the 4 Ministers who oversee the following departments:
1. Defense
2. Finance
3. Foreign Affairs
4. Interior Affairs
If the Grand Chancellor is away or unable to be reached, the Orange Circle may make decisions in his stead by passing a 3/4 vote. Should the Grand Chancellor be acting against the interests of The Orange Order, or acting against the spirit of this charter, or inactive without notice for longer than 7 days, the Orange Circle can impeach and remove the Grand Chancellor by passing a 3/4 vote.
The Ministers serve for terms lasting 6 months. The terms are to be staggered so that one ends every 1.5 months. At the end of each term, the Grand Chancellor will nominate a member for the position. Any other members may run against the Grand Chancellor's nominee by posting in a thread that will be created by the Grand Chancellor prior to the election soliciting candidates no later than 48 hours before the start of the election. The election will then be held which shall last 48 hours. If any candidate receives 66% of the votes, they shall obtain the position. Otherwise, the Grand Chancellor's nominee shall serve the position.
In the event a Minister resigns or goes inactive without notice during his term, the Grand Chancellor may appoint a replacement that will serve the remainder of the term.
Article 4 The Body Republic[]
Any member of The Orange Order is automatically a part of the Body Republic and has the inherent right to vote on any elections.
Article 5 Amendments to the Charter of The Orange Order[]
Any member of The Orange Order may submit a motion to amend the Charter to the Body Republic. Discussion will follow for the next 48 hours. At the end of the 48 hours, a poll, which will last 48 hours, shall be held to decide whether it is adopted. If it receives support from 75% of the Body Republic it shall be adopted.
