Ideas/Edits to the Constitution[]

Constitution[]

  • A board of managers will decide company matters.
    • The board will consist of members and an elected consul. 
  • The consul will be elected, by a simple majority, every 5 years and will receive an vote in addition to the countries representative.
  • Founders retain the right to veto any movement, however a 75% over-ride vote will beat a veto.
  • Founders reserve the right to dissolve the venture at any time through a vote of the founders. 
  • Trade profits are to be split evenly between members.

Regarding Capital []

  • Capital will be supplied to the company and used to purchase boats, mercenaries, and supplies for expeditions. These resources will be administered and managed by the company.  
  • Nations will split capital costs for ventures equally. Nations will have approximately one year to reply to a finalized idea of whether or not they can contribute the capital required. If they cannot (for any reason) or decide not to contribute their share will follow one of the two following procedures.
    • One: Their share will be sold off in equal portions to all participating nations. 
    • Two: Their share will be sold off to one nation/company pending ETC approval through vote. 
  • Inactive members can be removed through a vote (See Inactive Members Clause under Regarding Applications). 

Regarding Applications and Membership[]

  • A nation or company must wait 10 years after a failed application to apply again. 
  • Other trading companies may apply to be partners. Their partnership will be discussed upon application and they will be able to contribute to ventures when a nation is wishing to sell their share in the venture (see Option two under Capital Cost Clause).
  • Inactive members can be voted to be removed from the company and forced to sell their holdings by company vote.
  • Applicants must be unanimously accepted into the company. 
  • New Members must wait five full years after acceptance to receive voting privileges. 

Ideas:[]

italics = accepted and implemented into the above. 

  • Nations have approxemently one year to reply to a finalized idea (48hours/two turns) and to decided whether or not they will contribute to the investment. g greg e (talk) 02:45, May 6, 2014 (UTC)
    • Shares to be split equally if a nation cannot contribute or is that share bought by another nation or all the remaining nations as a whole ? 
    • if unbought then split evenly, if bought by another country then they get that percent.Stephanus rex (talk) 03:02, May 6, 2014 (UTC)
  • Only nations may join, however companies may partner in ventures.Stephanus rex (talk) 03:04, May 6, 2014 (UTC
    • Other trading companies may apply to be partners. Their partnership will be discussed upon application and they will be able to contribute to ventures when a nation is wishing to sell their share in the venture (see Option two under Captial Cost Clause). g greg e (talk) 03:13, May 6, 2014 (UTC)
  • Inactive members can be voted to be removed from the company and forced to sell their holdings by company vote. g greg e (talk) 03:21, May 6, 2014 (UTC)

Things that need to be solved before ratification:[]

  • Voting process for applicants g greg e (talk)
  • Can new members vote right away or should their be a waiting period... maybe 5 - 10 years? g greg e (talk)
  • I would say the process can work similarly to the original except we enforce the voting rules that we have created. Also I agree to the 5 year waiting period for new members. Stephanus rex (talk) 12:07, May 6, 2014 (UTC)
  • 5 year period makes perfect sense. Also, voting process should be unanimous, so still. Fed (talk) 00:54, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Flag[]

Ideas/parts of a flag here

I propose a quartered flag with a symbol from each nation that represents the sea.

For example, The girl who is on these flags represents the guardian of the Med Sea and trade for Alexandria.

Here is the Rumanian Coat of Arms for the flag. Also I think a deep blue background is in order. Stephanus rex (talk) 01:41, May 7, 2014 (UTC)

I second Imps proposed flag.
