Citizenship: The Citizens’ Party supports a system of delegate endorsement citizenship whereas a nation qualifies as a citizen so long as they are actively endorsing the WA delegate or have qualified through Aesica’s waiver program. The Citizens’ party is opposed to any and all restrictions on citizenship beyond this, as further restrictions alienate new or prospective nations.

Independent Branches of Government: The Citizens’ Party supports a democratic republic system with three independent branches of government - an executive branch led by a delegate elected by the people - responsible for the day to day affairs of the people - a legislative branch responsible for lawmaking - and a judicial branch responsible for interpreting the laws of Aesica in a nonpartisan capacity.

Freedom of Affiliation: The Citizens’ Party supports no limit to the number of political parties able to be created within Aesica, nor any increase to the required number of members per party, believing that it is the right of the people to support a region that is in their best interest in all capacities.

Congress:The Citizens’ Party supports an expansion of the House of Representatives by two (2) seats to a total of nine (9) to more accurately represent the citizens, as the population of the region has grown since the prior chamber sizes were implemented. The party does not, however, believe in the expansion of the Senate, believing that the limited number of Senate seats will ensure thorough selection and vetting by parties pertaining to whom they nominate for the chamber.

Positional Capacity: The Citizens’ Party supports a limit on each citizen of Aesica to two (2) governmental positions at any given time, however no citizen can serve in more than one (1) elected position. The second position must be of a ministerial, deputy, or secretarial nature.

Public Referendums: The Citizens’ Party supports the use of public referendums in cases where legal changes would directly impact the lawmakers who would normally vote on such bills, on in the case of how Aesica is presented to the greater NationStates community. This would include, but is not limited to - public vote on the expansion of the chambers of legislature by two (2) seats each; public vote on the use of tags such as capitalist or socialist to advertise Aesica; public vote on any interregional alliances Aesica considers joining, requiring a ⅔ majority - These referendums would create opportunities for citizens of Aesica to engage in their regional government even if they are not elected to a position, as well as allow self-determination for the people.

Term Limits: The Citizens’ Party supports limits of four (4) consecutive terms for any elected role in government, allowing opportunities for a range of citizens to participate in the regional government. Ministers, Secretaries, and Deputies would be exempt from this as appointed positions, selected based on merit rather than election.

Petitions: The Citizens’ Party supports the right of Aesican citizens to petition congress to deliberate and vote on motions or laws, requiring congress to prioritize the needs of citizens.

Congressional Accountability: The Citizens’ Party supports a system of accountability for congress, delegates, and justices to ensure they make rulings based on the established laws, rights, and expectations of Aesica. This would include impeachment/recall votes by a ⅔ majority in the chamber initiating the vote and a simple majority in the other chamber. In the case of Judiciary, this process would occur under the condition a justice fails to maintain nonpartisanship, and in the case of congress or delegates, this would occur under the conditions of abuse of power or positional negligence.

Ministerial Accountability: The Citizens’ Party supports a system where, should ministers fail to perform the essential functions of their role and maintain a functioning region, they are subject to a removal vote consisting of ⅔ majority in the senate.

Electee and Party Protection: The Citizens’ Party supports a system where elected officials have a protected right to their Senate or House seat for the duration of their elected term, that political parties cannot remove their elected officials and replace them without their consent. At the same time, however, the Citizens’ Party supports the requirement that an elected official must remain with the Political Party through which they were elected for the duration of their term. Should an official choose to leave their party during their term, the party reserves the right to remove them from the party’s rightfully elected seat and replace them with the member who was next listed on their election order for that senate or house seat.

Transparency: The Citizens’ party supports the right to transparency for the people and believes that all governmental votes, debates, cases, and orders must be publicly accessible and cannot be deleted or hidden from the public, and that this should be codified into law.

Recruitment Reform: The Citizens’ Party supports the establishment of a Deputy Minister of Recruitment, serving under the Minister of Domestic Affairs, who will ensure that recruitment quotas are met and to whom all recruiters will report to. Individual quotas for recruiters will also be set to ensure recruitment efforts do not waiver or fall by the wayside.

Interregional Affairs: The Citizens’ Party supports the establishment of a vetting system before engaging in embassy creation with other regions and a public referendum when considering interregional alliances to ensure protection from raids or regions looking to poach citizens. The party also supports prioritizing smaller and growing regions with our diplomatic affairs to ensure the region is not minimized by larger powers.

Military: The Citizens’ Party is supports the abstention from creating a military force, believing that the presence of one encourages interregional involvement where unnecessary and where unsafe for the betterment of Aesica.

Mergers:The Citizen’s Party supports abstention from all mergers, excepting cases where other, smaller sized regions are dissolving into Aesica, adapting to Aesica's system and culture for operating as a region.

Raids and Defense: The Citizens’ Party Supports the abstention from raids and defensive engagement, as there is no clear way in which these support the majority of Aesican citizens at this time.

Judicial System: The Citizens’ Party supports a 3 justice system with no limit on justice affiliation with political parties, that instead justices should be held to nonpartisanship through the accountability system outlined in Domestic Policy. Judges should be limited to one per political party, however, as a failsafe to help ensure nonpartisanship. As well, Judges should be appointed by the delegate, with a simple majority senate vote to approve the appointment.

Trial Reform: The Citizens’ Party supports an expedited and prioritized process for the starting dates of criminal trials, ensuring they get underway in a timely manner, for the safety and protection of citizens afflicted by unlawful acts. The actual trials themselves should not be rushed, as all citizens should receive a fair trial, only the start date and prioritization in the order of court cases the court takes on should expedite when these trials begin.

Bill of Rights: The Citizens’ Party supports recognizing the Bill of Rights (Legislative Policy II: Civil Liberties Act) as those upon which all governments must evaluate the legitimacy of their work.

Event Reform: The Citizens’ Party supports the development of regional events such as the Hunger Games, the World Cup, and other events, by developing a more consistent, regular schedule in which they are done on Discord. This would potentially include a rotation of one event a week, allowing for a regular rotation of activities for citizens to get involved. The Citizens party also supports working to develop ideas and concepts for how events like these can also be integrated into the RMB for more on site engagement.

RMB Poll Usage: The Citizens’ Party supports the use of the poll feature on NationStates not only to conduct official regional business like votes, but also to engage citizens in fun icebreakers and questions, regularly allowing RMB specific nations to have another way to stay involved with the region.

Freedom of Press: The Citizens’ party supports complete freedom of press, dictating that there should be no restrictions to who can report or post, understanding that news entities are responsible for their own fact checking and editing. Should a citizen violate the rights of Aesica by spreading harmful misinformation or using their platform to project hate speech, discrimination, violent rhetoric, etc., they will be subject to the standard legal consequences within Aesica, banishment. As well, The Citizens’ party supports developing incentives for citizens to combat misinformation as a whole.

Census: The Citizens’ Party supports the implementation of a census to be conducted two times a year. This would help the region maintain information and statistics including, but not limited to, active community members, political party affiliation, roleplay activity, and would allow citizens to provide feedback to improve Aesica.

Integration Deputy:The Citizens’ Party supports having a Deputy under the Domestic Affairs Minister responsible for welcoming new members and giving them a rundown of the region, including - but not limited to - the general information about the RP setting and world layout so the new citizens can make informed map claims, a basic introduction to the regional government system and political parties. This deputy may also have aides under them to help provide this information when new citizens arrive based on who is online, as written and developed by the deputy.

Order of Aesica: The Citizens’ party supports creating a new honor called the Order of Aesica, akin to the Order of the British Empire or the Presidential Medal of Freedom, designed to be given to citizens who have contributed in extraordinary or remarkable ways to the betterment of Aesica. Recipients would be determined by a committee consisting of the Delegate and Vice Delegate, to be given out to one nation every four months.
