I am proposing the abolishment of the current constitution in favor of the new one, drafted jointly between The Green Frontier and I. Debate shall last for 15 minutes, and then a vote time of 12 hours shall start. If the winner is clear within the first 3 hours, the vote will be called early.

Kerbals of the North's (New) Constitution

Preamble
We, the Kerbals of the North, in order to form a union dedicated and devoted towards the sovereignty of all nations, hereby come together to create this Constitution, with the ideals of representative democracy, constitutional rights of the citizens and residents, and for the purpose of longevity of the region.

Article I: Citizenship
All nations within Kerbals of the North will be known to this document, and any other documents pertaining to the government, as “residents”. All residents of Kerbals of the North that have joined both the World Assembly and the Discord server are to be considered citizens of Kerbals of the North and will be seen as citizens under the eyes of the government. Citizenship may also be granted to non-WA members upon their completion of Linkan application.

Article II: The Vehicle Assembly

Section I

The Vehicle Assembly shall be the sole legislative body within Kerbals of the North. The number of members of the Vehicle Assembly shall be proportional to the number of residents in the region, rounded down, with one member for every ten residents. Every citizen whose nation is of at least two weeks of age and have joined the Discord server may run to be a member in the Vehicle Assembly. Elections to the Vehicle Assembly will happen once every one and a half months, in which half the seats in the Vehicle Assembly will go up to vote. In the first election to the Vehicle Assembly, half the seats in the election shall only be occupied for one and a half months, in which they will be put up to vote again. This is to ensure consistency with the cycles of voting.

Section II

Members of the Vehicle Assembly shall be able to propose, vote, and debate on any proposals while the Vehicle Assembly is in session. They shall be required to meet twice a month, and shall hold sessions as long as there are 25% of members present on the Vehicle Assembly floor. Any proposals may pass with a simple majority vote and be sent to verification by the President. Any vetoes on any proposal that are enforced by either the Flight Director or the President may be overridden with a two-thirds majority vote in the Vehicle Assembly.

All members of the Vehicle Assembly may propose legislation that affects the entirety of Kerbals of the North. This legislation may include laws, impeachments, or general bills. These proposals are encouraged to take the form of either a dispatch on NationStates or a Google Document. Impeachments may be prosecuted by a member of the Vehicle Assembly if they believe in good faith that the current President or Vice President has breached a part of the Constitution, and shall be treated as any other proposal.

There shall be a head of the Vehicle Assembly, called the Speaker. The Speaker shall manage the Vehicle Assembly in its sessions and debate. The Speaker shall be decided on by the majority party every one and a half months, and the Speaker must not interfere with these elections directly. If there is no majority party, or the majority party cannot decide on a Speaker immediately, then a simple majority vote in the Vehicle Assembly shall elect the Speaker. If there is a breach of the Constitution or by the rules of the Vehicle Assembly, a motion to elect a new Speaker be initiated by a member of the Vehicle Assembly, and shall pass with a two-thirds majority vote, in which the new election shall start.

The rules and processes of the Vehicle Assembly may be set by the Vehicle Assembly itself. If no rules or processes are decided on until another meeting is mandatory, the Speaker shall take over the duties in ruling.

Section III

Amendments may be made to the Constitution at any time by the Vehicle Assembly. They shall be written in a special section at the end of the Constitution, and not be part of any section. Amendments may be proposed as any other proposal, but may only pass with a two-thirds majority vote and then be passed to both the Flight Director and President for approval.

Article III: The Executive Branch

Section I

The Executive Branch of Kerbals of the North shall be made up of the two following parts: the elected President, and the appointed Cabinet.

Section II

The Flight Director shall be the formal name for the founder of the region, which shall be always held by Alinek. They shall not interfere with any democratic process of the government, besides an emergency veto.

Section III

The President is the elected head of government for Kerbals of the North. They shall not only represent Kerbals of the North on a governmental stage, but also be Head of the Executive Branch. They shall also be the last step in the legislative process, approving or vetoing legislation. The President shall also be the sole appointee of the Cabinet, but may seek outside help if they deem it necessary.

The election of the President shall be held every three months. Political parties may send a nominee from their party to run in the election. The election shall use a simple plurality to determine the president, unless the election is significantly close, which in that case a revote will be held with only the close candidates. Candidates for President must also have a population on NationStates of at least 50 million.

The President may appoint a Vice President in the same way they would appoint ministers for their absence, or to assist them in their duties. If a Vice President is present and the Presidency is unoccupied, the Vice President shall take over the office. If the Vehicle Assembly is ever without a Speaker for required meetings of the Vehicle Assembly, the Vice President shall act as the de-facto Speaker, managing the processes and rulings in the Vehicle Assembly.

If at any point the President were to cease their actions, whether it be through ceasing to exist, moving regions, or impeachment, an emergency election will be held using all the head of parties as candidates.

Section IV

The Cabinet shall be the group of people who are appointed to manage a section of government. These four ministries, the areas of government in which members of Cabinet head shall be of the Interior, Foreign Relations, Recruitment, and Roleplay.

The Minister of the Interior shall be the manager for the community, events, as well as moderation. They shall be the link between cultural activity and government. The appointment of moderators shall be dealt with directly by the President, and not be undertaken by the Minister of the Interior. These appointed moderators must be approved by the Vehicle Assembly in a two-thirds majority vote.
The Minister of Foreign Relations shall manage embassies, link Kerbals of the North with other regions, and keep good relations with other regions. If any embassy region calls for a foreign diplomat to be present in any of their circles, the Minister of Foreign Relations shall default to fulfill that role.
The Minister of Recruitment shall head a light department, focusing on bringing in new members to Kerbals of the North and introducing them to the community. They shall be responsible for the upkeep of the recruitment and welcome telegrams, as well as encouraging recruitment from outside the government.
The Minister of Roleplay shall be the primary moderator for any issues related to roleplay, and will also manage the maps for the roleplay. If they are unable to manage the maps, they may appoint a cartographer to do that duty for them. The Minister of Roleplay shall also be responsible for the wellbeing of roleplay and should encourage active roleplay in their duties.

The Cabinet shall be appointed by the President, although may remain the same if the President appoints the same ministers, for ministers have no term limit. Members of the Cabinet may consist of any citizen, regardless of party orientation. If in certain times, if the President does not appoint any members of the Cabinet, the Cabinet will either be appointed by the Vice President, elected, or chosen by the Flight Director on behalf of the President. If, for any reason, members of the Cabinet are unable to perform their duties in the long term, a temporary replacement, in case of temporary instances, or permanent replacement must be appointed. If members of the Cabinet are seen as unfit for their duties by a member of the Vehicle Assembly, a two-thirds majority vote in the Vehicle Assembly shall oust that minister and require the President to appoint a new minister in their place.

Article IV: The Judiciary

The Judicial Branch of Kerbals of the North is staffed exclusively by the Head Judge, which is appointed by the Flight Director, President, and a two-thirds majority vote in the Vehicle Assembly. They have the final say in the majority of matters involving the interpretation of all legislative documents partaking to the government, but cannot participate in legislation. The Head Judge shall also settle debates between members of the government if those debates involve matters of law.


We, the Kerbals of the North, hereby close this Constitution. It shall take effect immediately.
