Cody K Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Vengeance. Justice. Fire and Blood. Today is a great day in the history of Planet Orbis as once again the Seven Kingdoms takes up the mantle of greatness and vow to bear it with honour, integrity, and purpose. From this day forward the Seven Kingdoms stand as one. Seven Kingdoms has a long history and draws members from many places and 'verses, where we've participated with other alliances, held friendships, grudges, and enmities. We lay aside all these past issues, leaving them in the pages of history in which they belong. We step step forward today holding no grudges and pre-judging none. The Charter of the Seven Kingdoms: Charter of the Seven Kingdoms Introductory Clause The following is the Charter of the Seven Kingdoms, hereafter referred to as the SK. Article I: Membership Section I: Alliance MembershipAll members of the SK must apply to join the Seven Kingdoms alliance in-game. Any nation whose alliance is neither “Seven Kingdoms†nor “Seven Kingdoms Applicant†has voided their membership in the SK. Article II: Government Section I: StructureThe SK will be governed by a King assisted by the King’s Hand and the Small Council.Section II: KingThe King is the ruler of the SKThe King has binding veto power over all treaties and Declarations of War; binding vetoes cannot be overturned.Other restrictions and privileges of the King are spelled out in this document and the appendices. On all matters not specifically restricted or excepted, the King’s decision or veto may be overridden by a 4/5 vote of the Small Council.The King may be removed from power by a 4/5 vote of the Small Council.Section III: King’s HandThe King’s Hand is the designated successor to the King.He assumes the throne if the King resigns or is removed by the Small Council.The King’s Hand is chosen by the five members of the Small Council. The King’s Hand is selected by majority vote. The King’s Hand must be a current member of the Small Council.The King’s Hand retains his title and duties on the Small Council in addition to his title as King’s Hand.The King’s Hand may be removed from his position by a 3/4 of the other members of the Small Council.If the King’s Hand is removed from his position, he retains his position and duties on the Small Council.Section IV: Small CouncilThe Small Council is a 5 member council that advises the King and runs the alliance departments.The members of the Small Council are as follows: Master of Whispers: Head of Foreign Affairs Master of Law: Head of Internal Affairs Lord Commander: Head of the War Department Master of Coin: Head of the Economics Department Master of Communications: Head of Public Affairs The members of the Small Council are nominated by the King and confirmed by the current council members. A majority vote of the Small Council is required to defeat the King’s nomination.Council members may be removed in two ways. 50% of the other Small Council members and the King vote for removal. The other Small Council members vote unanimously for removal. Council authorization is required to sign treaties and declare war. In these matters, a simple majority vote of the council is sufficient to defeat the proposal.On all other matters not specifically excepted in this document, the vote and recommendation of the Small Council to the King is non-binding, with the exception of a properly called override vote.For an override vote, all members of the Small Council must be present. The vote must be officially requested by one of the Small Council members, and the King must be notified beforehand that an override vote will be taking place.

Reagan Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Kadin's flag was better Link? The thing I've never liked about SK's flag is that it's not a flat image. It looks like a background with a 3d type shield on top, which is further pushed from the surface by the shadow under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aisha Greyjoy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 There haven't Dragons in Westeros in a very long time. Dragons are for pathetic underachievers who wish they could conquer but instead have to beg their giant reptile pets to do the work for them. We need less dragons, to the extent that less then 0 is even possible! Duke of House Greyjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
