Executive Order #0005
29 April, 2023

In the new game mechanics, Successorship Authority does not grant any additional authorities, it merely allowed a succession in the Governor/Founder to an active nation, should the current Governor/Founder Equility cease-to-exist.

To further the depth of our available Successorship, and to provide a complete acknowledgement of all who have served as Founders of Equilism, I hereby grant [nation]Naivetry[/nation] Successor Authority, and restore her title as [b]Lady Naivetry[/b].

Signed this 29th day of April, 2023

[b]Office of the Governor General of Equilism[/b]
Executive Order #0004
27 April, 20203

It has come to my attention that the Frontiers and Strongholds Update to NationStates prohibits the use of the word 'Governor' in Regional Officer titles, so that I am unable to modify my current, or future Regional Officer permissions as 'Governor General'.

A change of title is thus required for the office of Governor General.

Therefore, under the authority of the Governor General, granted to me, Westwind, by the Equilism Townhall on 31 October, 2020:

"The Governor General may make appointments, create positions, delegate authority...."

I hereby restore my highest title of service in Equilism, King of The Realm of Equilism, with all the authorities of the Governor General granted, effective immediately.

Signed this 27 day of April, 2023
Westwind, King of The Realm of Equilism

[center][size=150][b][u]Executive Order #0003: Judicial Process[/u][/b][/size][/center]
[box]
[b]Office of the Governor General of Equilism[/b]
Executive Order #0003
5 November, 2020

The Judicial Process described by Article 7 of the Equilism Township Charter is currently unable to be engaged due to the collapse of the government, lack of elected officials and low numbers of active citizens of The Town Hall.

Under the Conservatorship of The Governor General, Article 7, Section 2 through Section 8 of the Equilism Township Charter regarding Judicial Process is hereby suspended.

The rights of any citizen to bring a criminal complaint to the Town Hall, the right to Judicial transparency, the right to petition The Founder, and the responsibility to uphold Equilism law remains in effect.


[b]Article 7: Judicial Process[/b]
[list]
1. Any citizen may bring a criminal complaint against another citizen to the Town Hall.
2. When a criminal complaint is brought, the town must elect two citizens to serve as judges alongside the Town Moderator. Where no other regulations exist, procedures for judicial elections will follow those laid out in this document.
3. No citizen with a conflict of interest may serve as a judge for that complaint. Someone has a conflict of interest if they are or are perceived to be unable to rule fairly on a complaint due to personal history, known biases, or other similar factors.The accused and accuser in any complaint always have a conflict of interest in that matter.
4. If a conflict of interest involves the Town Moderator, the election for judges will increase to 3 seats as the Town Moderator will not be allowed to serve. The Mayor will designate the presiding judge in this case.
5. The elected judges will serve for the duration of the specific complaint, and will be disbanded after it concludes.
6. The complainant may prosecute at their discretion or appoint another citizen to act as the prosecutor. They may also request that a prosecutor be appointed by the Mayor. If the Mayor is the defendant, the authority shall devolve to the Delegate, and finally the Founder.
The judges will decide by majority vote whether to permit the complaint to go to trial, what the verdict is, and what the punishment shall be.
8. The Town Moderator shall serve as the presiding judge in a trial unless a conflict of interest arises. The presiding judge will administer court procedures, post on behalf of the judges, and otherwise manage the trial. Court procedures may be established by law. The court's decision in these matters may be appealed to the Founder, who will have the final say.
9. Trials must be conducted in view of all citizens in order to ensure accountability, transparency, and honesty on the part of the court. Only the Founder may authorize exceptions to this, and exceptions must be based on concrete regional security concerns. Private and classified information may be redacted from public view and available only to members of the Court.
10. Violating this Charter, breaking other laws, or trampling on the rights of citizens or residents of Equilism are grounds for criminal charges. Additional criminal acts may be established by law.
[/list]
 
In the event that Judicial Process is found to be necessary, as a member of The Crimson Order, Equilism will engage the services of The College of Cardinals of The Crimson Order, which are authorized under the TCO Charter to oversee Judicial matters as directed by The Crimson King - Governor General Westwind.  The Regent of The College of Cardinals, Elegarth shall preside over any such Judicial Process in accordance with the TCO Charter.  The College of Cardinals sit in Inquisition for Judicial matters. It's members have 89 years of combined NationStates experience.

[b]From The Charter of The Crimson Order:[/b]

[list]
6. The Inquisition shall serve as the Judicial process of The Crimson Order.
7. Inquisitions may be initiated by call of The King, or by decision of The College.
8. The Regent shall preside as The Grand Inquisitor in the event a Council of Inquisition is called.
9. Inquisitions shall be heard by a Council of Inquisition.
     a. Members of a Council of Inquisition shall be called Inquisitors during the Hearing.
     b. A Council of Inquisition may consist of The College of Cardinals as a whole, or any number of Cardinals chosen by decision of The College.
10. The College shall have authority to design and enforce it's own rules and procedures regarding Inquisition.
[/list]
 
The seven members of The College of Cardinals of The Crimson Order are:

[b]The College of Cardinals[/b]
 
[list]
- The Cardinal of the Eternal Dungeons, yy4u
