The Constitution of The Rejected Realms
Article 1: Preamble
  • A: This Constitution defines the government and citizenship of The Rejected Realms. No laws or treaties may contradict this document, and all citizens of the region are required to comply with the provisions set out in it.
  • B: The Rejected Realms (TRR) is the NationStates region http://www.nationstates.net/region=the_rejected_realms.
  • C: The forums of The Rejected Realms are http://s8.zetaboards.com/The_RR_and_RRA.
  • D: The Rejected Realms Army (RRA) shares the same forums, but operates independently of the government of TRR.

Article 2: Citizenship
  • A: Citizenship may be granted to any person who has both a nation within [region]The Rejected Realms[/region] (or in service to the RRA elsewhere) and an account on TRR's forums.
  • B: All citizenship applications are subject to a security check by forum administrators. Citizenship applications are automatically approved if no security concerns are found.
  • C: Citizenship may be denied or retracted by forum administrators for reasons of regional security. This decision may be appealed to the Assembly as set out in Article 3.

Article 3: The Assembly
  • A: The Assembly consists of all citizens of The Rejected Realms.
  • B: The Assembly is responsible for voting on laws, treaties, constitutional amendments, electing Officers and the WA Delegate, and acting as a court of appeal.
  • C: Votes in the Assembly are visible to all citizens, and last for seven days.
  • D: Laws, treaties and appeals require a simple majority vote to pass. Amendments to the Constitution require a 75% majority vote to pass.
  • E: Contested elections are decided by a plurality vote. In case of a tie between a current official and another candidate, the current official retains the position. If there is no current official involved in the tie, the remaining Officers are responsible for breaking the tie. If a vote by the remaining Officers also results in a tie, the Delegate is responsible for breaking that tie.
  • F: Uncontested elections for Officer must be confirmed by a simple majority vote.

Article 4: The WA Delegate
  • A: The WA Delegate of the region is the Head of Government.
  • B: The Delegate may change the regional World Factbook Entry and act on WA proposals and resolutions as they see fit.
  • C: The Delegate assigns roles to the Officers of the region.
  • D: If the Delegate submits their resignation, elections for a new Delegate will begin immediately with a challenge period as set out in Article 6. The resigning Delegate will retain the position until elections are completed.

Article 5: Officers
  • A: Officers of the region are responsible for carrying out the governmental functions of the region.
  • B: Up to four Officers may exist at any one time. Vacant positions will be filled before current Officers are replaced.

Article 6: The Challenge System
  • A: Any citizen who wishes to become an Officer or the Delegate may challenge for the position. A challenge for Delegate requires the support of two other citizens. A challenge for Officer requires the support of one other citizen. This requirement is waived for officials seeking reelection.
  • B: Elections begin once a challenge is submitted. If the elections are for the position of Delegate, no new citizenship applications will be processed until elections are completed.
  • C: Any citizen who also wishes to submit a challenge may do so during the first week of elections in the case of a challenge for Delegate, or during the first three days of elections in the case of a challenge for Officer. No further challenges will be accepted during the elections after this period.
  • D: Once the challenge period is over, a period of campaigning equal to the length of that challenge period will follow, during which candidates are encouraged to lobby citizens for their votes.
  • E: Once the campaign period is over, the Assembly will vote to elect the Officer or Delegate, as set out in Article 3. Candidates may continue to campaign during voting.
  • F: Newly-elected officials may not be challenged for one month after the close of elections.
