United Empires

The United Empires is our server's way of managing international law. Every map, after at least 3 cities are formed, the United Empires will automatically start in Discord. The United Empires job is to propose new laws, put on sanctions, and submit other legislation that will give the world more RP laws that empires can choose to follow.

All empires are forced to join the United Empires as it is a core function of the server. HOWEVER, we do not require empires to participate in the voting structure or at any hearings. Do note that any UE laws or sanctions that your empire violates REGARDLESS of participation in the UE can result in RP actions or Casus Bellis being granted against your empire.

At times, some laws can be difficult to follow and some empires will not follow it. While you are not required to follow it by server rules, other empires may propose to punish your empire by voting to embargo your trade, put sanctions on your empire or empire leaders, and or even vote to collectively go to war against you.

Viewing Laws
All laws can be viewed on our Discord Server, in the channel #ue-laws

Voting
When a new proposal is approved to go to the floor, a post will be made in the discord channel #ue-voting. This is only viewable by members who have the empire leader tag. Each empire can only have one empire leader on discord to allow for one vote.

Member of the UE (United Empires) may vote to change how votes are handled. See #ue-laws for the current voting structure.

Submitting new proposals
If you are an empire leader and wish to bring new proposals to the floor, you will need to open a new "Open a UE Vote Request" ticket on the Discord Server. When you open the ticket, you will need to fill out the following:


 * Proposal Title:
 * Proposal:
 * Do you have the authority to propose this in your empire?

Staff will go over your ticket and make sure that it can be proposed. We will also discuss the meaning of the law and flush it out if needed. Once approved, the ticket is closed and the vote goes to the floor.

What you can vs cannot propose
Can:


 * Change how votes are counted. EG "Each empire gets 2 votes per city" or "Each vassal gets a vote".
 * Embargos, and restrict voting for embargoed empires.
 * Ban certain movecraft types.

Cannot:

If your idea does not fit in these can or cannots, submit a ticket anyways and we can discuss it!
 * Do any actions against any official empires.
 * Take over the United Empires by vote. You can change the voting laws to be in your favor, but no one empire can control the UE.
