What is "Viss Nacija?"
"Dzirta Del Viss Nacija" ("Viss Nacija"/Pack of All People) is a Rakash pack open to all races based on approval of Pack government.

Viss Nacija's founders believe in promoting understanding of Rakash culture and racial harmony among the varying peoples of Elanthia. In these changing times, Rakash have had to adapt to new cultures and have even taken on non-Rakash as spouses or adopted non-Rakash into their families. Mrod has taught the Rakash that adapting is their best skill and Viss Nacija believes that accepting other races is another way of adapting to these changing times.

Pack Principles
Family: The pack is a family. Pack members are your brothers and your sisters; the pack is your mother and your father. As such one should treat the collective pack and the individuals within appropriately. Do for them as you would do for your own flesh and blood. Protect your pack family and see that they come to no harm. Seek to help pack members who have fallen in battle. Assist their advancement in their guilds and in their training. Provide goods and services to them at fair prices, not to make a profit at their expense. Look out for them and ensure they act appropriately for a pack member.

Loyalty: The pack is where you place your primary allegiance. Remember your oaths and adhere to them steadfastly. Follow the decrees of the Alpha and Representatives without deviation. Do nothing to betray the pack, the Alpha, the Representatives, or your fellow pack members.

Honor: The pack is your lifeblood, do nothing to dishonor it. The actions of the individual are reflected upon the entire pack; the poor actions of the individual make the entire pack appear poorly and the virtuous actions of the individual bring honor to the entire pack. Dishonorable actions range from the blatant, such as grave robbing, to the subtle, such as disrespecting strangers.

Secrecy: Remember your oaths. Pack secrecy is vital to the solidarity of the pack. Do not reveal the rites sacred to the pack. In addition to this, protect the secrets and privacy of those within the pack. Do not spread rumors or pack issues. What happens in the pack stays in the pack.

The pack principles include, but are not limited to, the details of each tenant outlined above. The pack Alphas and Betas have the authority to decide on matters regarding the pack principles. This includes rulings regarding violations of the principles. This authority also spans to the formation of new principles and details regarding them.

Joining the Pack
This pack is open to men and women of all races, guilds, and varying orders that also are accepting of all races. Each prospect, Rakash or non-Rakash, must be sponsored by a current pack member. Upon sponsorship they are eligible to undergo initiation. Initiation into the pack is an important and secret practice. Initiates only learn what this entails when they experience it. Pack members are not required to pay dues, fines, or any other monetary fee related to pack admission. They are, however, required to pledge their loyalty to the pack.

The leadership of the pack consists of the pack Alphas and the Betas. The Alphas consist of a male and female. However, they do not have to be bonded to one another as they are Alpha by title only. The same applies to the pack Betas.
Betas are elected by vote from the entire pack.

Any pack Alpha or Beta may resign from their position.

The joint duties of the Alpha and Betas are to arbitrate violations of the pack code and decide punishments. They also have the duties of coordinating the specific times for weekly meetings as well as directing the meetings and pack initiations. In addition to this they have the power to form new regulations, laws, or codes concerning the pack as necessary.

Provincial Representatives
Provincial Representatives will be appointed by the Alphas and Betas, one for each: Ilithi, Zoluren, Therengia, and the Islands. Appointments will be made by conjoined decision of the Alpha and Betas. PRs (Provincial Representatives) will retain this position for an indefinite period of time until they are removed by the decision of the Alpha and Betas or they resign. In the case of removal or resignation, a new PR will be appointed by the Alphas and Betas. PRs come under the jurisdiction and authority of the Alphas and Betas; further matters concerning PRs are left to the sole discretion of the Alphas and Betas. A person may not serve simultaneously as an Alpha or Beta and a PR.

The duties of the Provincial Representatives consist primarily of recruitment of new initiates and supervision of existing members within their respective regions. Therefore, PRs must be thoroughly familiar with the initiation rites and be prepared to induct new initiates. They must also possess leadership skills, willingness, and the time necessary to supervise the members within their regions. This includes the organization of regional meetings or other pack events at the discretion of the PR.

Finally, Provincial Representatives must exercise responsibility and good sense. While they are permitted to induct new initiates, the expulsion of members from the pack falls under the jurisdiction of the Alpha and Representatives alone. PRs will be held responsible for inducting members that do not meet the standards of the Pack Principles.
