2ND ATTERCOMPACT

Preamble:
(As Taken From the First
AtterCompact Agreement)
"In the Name of the Most Illustrious Creator of
the Universe!
On this day of 9 June in the 2000th year of our Creator,
Anno Domini, the Independent Micronations of the Atteran Commonwealth come
before the world to create a union based on equality and common purpose. It is
our way to bring together micronations of like minds and common interest under
one banner of true freedom and common good. We shall illustrate that the
micronations of this Commonwealth shall pursue the ways of fair relationships
and dealings with one another and with other micronations that we may enter into
relations with. With that, we bring before you the Atteran Commonwealth
Pact."
-----------------------------------
Be it
Resolved:
Whereas the Independent Micronations of the Atteran
Commonwealth desire a new type of relationship built on total equality, respect,
fairness and common goals, we the citizens of these freeborn micronations come
together for the common purpose of mutual defense and perpetual
friendship.
Whereas these independent and sovereign micronations, along
with several semi-independent constituent republics of these micronations, shall
form a solid union bound together with total democratic freedom of choice,
without regard for type of government, or political belief. We gather together
on the basis of unity and to establish a new type of micronational entity that
will be emulated through out the intermicronational world.
We Hereby
establish an organizational alliance that will guarantee the security of all
member micronations so that they may be able to coexist in a climate of peace
and tranquility without interference from outside detractors and threats. With
this agreement we affirm the following items.
Article 1. The Sovereign-
The Sovereign of the Independent Micronations of the Atteran Commonwealth shall
be from the Imperial House of Solomon of the IRQM, since it was by her
Co-Regents hand that this organization has come to fruition. The Sovereign shall
have no authority in any form over the day to day management, or actual
direction of this organization, but shall only serve as a unifying symbol of the
Atteran State, since many of the micronations represented within, claim her as
HEAD OF STATE. It shall be up to the individual micronations to determine the
sovereign's relationship to their respective governments, if any relationship is
to be desired.
Article 2. The High Executive- The High Executive shall be
determined in each individual micronation according to the election laws of each
respective micronation. The term of office of the High Executive shall be 6
months in duration. Upon completion of the term, the next micronation in line
shall assume the post. The first High Executive after ratification of the Second
AtterCompact shall be determined by election and then the cycle will begin. The
order of micronations shall be in alphabetical order after the High Executive of
the first term has been determined.
Article 3. Commonwealth
Representatives and the Commonwealth Parliament-
a. The Commonwealth
Representatives are who create legislation for the Atteran Commonwealth. They
are to represent their micronation within the Commonwealth Parliament and
conduct themselves with complete professionalism and maintain decorum.
Commonwealth Representatives are sent to the Commonwealth Parliament for a term
that is determined by their micronation.
b. The Commonwealth
Representatives will choose among themselves, a Vice High Executive that will be
in charge of moderating debate, to issue rulings on a particular issue and to
keep legislation moving in a timely manner. A rotating Executive cycle of 6
month terms shall be implemented and the rotation has been determined by the
system as determined in Article 2. Any additional member to the Atteran
Commonwealth shall be placed at the bottom of the rotation cycle.
C. The
Commonwealth Parliament is the Legislative body of the Atteran Commonwealth
shall consist of one Commonwealth Representative from each of the constituent
micronations and shall produce laws and regulations that will be enacted across
the Atteran Commonwealth. At this time all laws that are created in the
Commonwealth Parliament shall be voted on or ratified by each of the constituent
micronations. After a period of one year a vote will take place as to determine
if the Atteran Commonwealth shall be the governing body for all of the
micronations that have entered into this Pact, and shall be brought up every
year until passing.
d. Legislation shall be conducted in a format in
which the direct vote shall be used. The High Executive will ensure that all
items to be voted on must be passed by a two-thirds majority. Only in cases of
amendment changes, amendment additions, micronational additions to the
Commonwealth, expulsion of Commonwealth Representatives, impeachment of the High
Executive, Removal of the Sovereign or expulsion of a constituent micronation,
shall constitute a three-fifths majority.
Article 4. Common Defense
Clause- The AtterComm shall discuss any and all military situations that affect
each member micronation should the need arise and form a common defense
structure that will protect all member states. If war is declared on one state,
it is declared on all. If a member micronation states that assistance from the
other members is not necessary, then, members are not bound by the AtterCompact
and are not held responsible for the outcome of the crisis. The Defense of the
Atteran Commonwealth shall be defensive in nature and members are exempt from
supporting wars of aggression, or wars of an offensive nature.
Article 5.
Respect for Independence and Sovereignty- All micronations shall respect each
other's independence and sovereignty. No member micronation shall intervene in
the affairs of the other, unless, requested by said micronation in the case of
putsch, coup d'etat, revolution or any other abrupt change of government or
destabilization. Any member intervening in the affairs of others shall be
removed by the Atteran Commonwealth Parliament by a 3/5ths majority of voting
members. With respect to other alliances and treaties, member micronations must
be sure to value the Atteran Commonwealth first and foremost, but are allowed to
create relationships that are conducive to their own foreign policy aims.
Article 6. Entry into the Atteran Commonwealth
a. Entry of
micronations in the Atteran Commonwealth shall be by application by e-mail or
letter to the Commonwealth Parliament. The application shall be formally
addressed and list the URL in which the applying micronation has a web
page.
b. All applying micronations should be of at least 3 months of
existence or independence of its mother country. In cases of Semi-independent
parts of a micronation it must have at least one year of existence, it's own
flag, ruler and the maximum of three semi-independent parts of a micronation may
be admitted at any given time.
C. All applicants must be sponsored by a
current member of good standing, who will bring to the Commonwealth Parliament
all pertinent information about the applying micronation.
d. A
probationary period of 3 months will be enacted on all new applicants and they
will not be able to vote on any issues until one month has passed. Micronations
that are invited are exempt from this provision.
e. A two-thirds majority
is needed to gain entry into the Atteran Commonwealth.
f. Upon entry to
the Commonwealth Parliament, the new micronation shall extend recognition to all
existing members, and pledge to uphold all elements of this Pact.
Article
7. Citizenship in the Atteran Commonwealth- Dual Citizenship shall be allowed in
all Atteran Commonwealth micronations, although in certain cases, with respect
due to government offices, micronations may restrict certain aspects of the dual
status. In matters of legal proceedings and or criminal matters, wherever the
offense was committed, that is where the individual must be tried, unless the
primary micronation requests extradition. In cases of extradition it is up to
the micronation in where the offense was committed to determine according to
it's laws whether or not to release the individual or not.
Article 8.
Free Trade within the Atteran Commonwealth- All member micronations that
maintain an economy shall acknowledge free trade status with all other members
of the AtterComm. All members shall accord preferential treatment with respect
to trade upon each other. One goal of the AtterComm is to establish a common
trade policy and currency. With the afore mentioned, a bank of the Atteran
Commonwealth may be established that will regulate the different currencies of
all member micronations so that when one micronation's currency drops in value,
another member micronation's currency can be used to prop up the other. The main
trading currency of the AtterComm must be created out of all of the member
micronation's currencies, similar to what was done to the Euro, so that jealousy
does not affect the decision. All other goals will be established by the Bank of
the Atteran Commonwealth.
Any additions to this pact shall be noted as
AMENDMENTS and will be added below.
By the Approval of the High Executive
of the Atteran Commonwealth, this document shall be known as the Second Atteran
Commonwealth Pact.
ANTI-AGRESSION ACT
1. Would
establish an agency under the control of the Legion, but is accountable to the
Senate, Judicial system, and the Consul. This agency would monitor possible
threats, and be a think tank for solutions to the problem.
2a. This
agency would be forbidden from engaging in spy games or any other covert action
with legitimate or recognized micronations. Such a micronation is to be defined
as one involved with either the League of Micronations or L.O.S.S. Having good
relations with our micronation or our allies. Illegitimate micronations shall be
defined as ones frequently involved in spy accusations, and those with citizens
who have a considerable record of disrupting micronational
activities.
2b. Spy activities shall be defined as gaining citizenship to
a micronation for the purpose of gaining information on the micronations
operations. Funding some person or body with the means of spying shall also be
considered spying under this bill. Covert operations shall be defined as
disrupting micronations economically, politically, socially, or by any means,
which has a negative effect on the micronation in question.
3. This
agency shall setup a command bunker to deal with certain threats in times of
crisis. All threads in the bunker are to be declassified in bi-monthly report to
the Senate, Consul, and citizens of the Free Republic. The agency shall in time
setup a website for its documents and information, this website shall be open to
the public.
4. This agency shall be known as the Anti-Aggression League
or AAL. Funds are to be appropriated once economic issues have been settled.
5. The agencies organizational structure will consist of at least one
Agent. Other agents should be appointed by either the Consul or Legion, and
approved by the Senate or Peoples Congress. All agents shall have the same
power. Agents must clear actions with a superior before carrying that action
out.
6. The other duties of the AAL shall be to assist the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs with information, using agents as ambassadors of
goodwill.
BTW, I'm not too picky on the name or whether this act be
changed to guidelines for the Legions use of agents. Instead of creating a whole
new organization. I feel it is better this way.

for ease of use for instance ".65 Denarii"'
This should be changed
to:
'2) Denominations of the Currency shall take up a decimal system for ease
of use, for instance ".65 Libra" being equal to 65 Denarii'
Because we
really don't want a currency with a denomination so small as two thirds of our
equivalent of a penny.
AMENDMENT REGARDING ATTACKS ON OTHER MICRONATIONS
I
propose:
Quote:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If
a Citizen assaults, harms, or attacks a foreign micronation with proper
authorization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
be
changed to:
1) If a Citizen assaults, harms, or attacks a foreign
micronation without proper authorization
