We are well under way in this game and yet we cling to our Tribal Government Act of 4000 BC. With the promising onset of Democracy and the construction of a statue to celebrate it I propose to modernise our government.
Democratic Republic of Yasutan Act
Section I - The governmental structure
The Democratic Republic of Yasutan is run by the government, existing of:
The President of the Democratic Republic of Yasutan is the supreme leader of Yasutan. He has the duty to appoint a Vice-President from the pool of Ministers. He holds the final responsibility for decisions made by the government that affect the state of the nation. The President is also responsible for overseeing Elections and the Designated Player pool.
If a Vice-President is called upon the task of leading the Democratic Republic of Yasutan instead of the President, for whatever reason, all Presidential responsibilities shift to the Vice-President. The President is free to lead the nation as he sees fit but he must obey and maintain the Constitution and laws at any time.
The Ministers of the Democratic Republic of Yasutan hold Office in a Ministery. The Ministers are free to run their Ministery as they see fit as long as they obey and maintain the Constitution and laws of the Democratic Republic of Yasutan.
The Council of Aimags
The Council of Aimags comprises of the governors or their deputies from all the Aimags in the Democratic Republic of Yasutan. The Governors hold Office in a tent and may choose their policy freely. They too however are bound by the Constitution and laws of the Democratic Republic of Yasutan.
The Judiciary
The Judiciary is formed by the Chief Justice, the Judge Advocate and the Public Defender. The Judiciary can be called upon by any citizen or member of the Government. The Judiciary has the permission to investigate the legallity of Governmental procedures and polls. The Judiciary's ruling can also lead to an amendment of the Constitution.
Please read The Election Act of 4000 BC on how the members of the Cabinet, the Council of Aimags and the Judiciary are elected.
Section II - Vacancies
A position in the Cabinet or Council of Aimags is vacant when one (or more) of the following conditions is (are) met:
The procedure is different in case of a presidential vacancy. The Vice-President automatically takes over the position of the President for the remaining part of the term in which the vacancy arises. The new President may leave his ministerial duties to another citizen but is not forced to do so. A new Vice President must however be elected from the (remaining) pool of Ministers.
Section III - Impeachment
Any member of the Government, including the President, can be impeached as the result of legal actions. To start an impeachment procedure, any citizen may post a thread in the citizen forum announcing the citizen's intention to start impeachment procedures against a member of the Government. If two more citizens support the intention to start an impeachment procedure, a poll is posted to enable all citizens of the Democratic Republic of Yasutan to vote. This poll is private, single-choice, set to expire in 4 days and should contain three poll options:
If the impeachment prodecure fails, the citizen starting the impeachment procedure is removed from any elected Governmental position held by that citizen and may not be appointed to any Governmental position for 7 days. This citizen may not start another impeachment procedure for the remainder of the current term either.
