The charter of the East Pacific shall forever remain enshrined so that we remember the time before the coming of the Darkness, a time before the Vipers came and infested our land. The charter shall be read to our children with weeping as we remember that we stand on the shoulders of Giants.
Citizenship in TEP shall be granted to those who ratify the Charter, as practiced by our ancestors.
However, in this period of Darkness, the Charter shall no longer be the guiding document for our region and its government. Instead, we shall be guided by three Elders, chosen by the citizens for their Wisdom and sound judgement.
One Elder shall be our chosen delegate, unthroned by the Vipers of the Empire. The other two shall be chosen by the Citizens of TEP, those who have stood up against the Vipers of the Empire. These Elders shall be as night and day: One shall busy himself with the running of our domestic policy, the other shall busy himself with our foreign policy.
There shall also be chosen by the citizens a war chief. The war chief chall carry a spear to smite our enemies, but also shield to protect our region. They shall wage war for us, and also negotiate peace for us. the War Chief will not be an elder because when the day comes that the Darkness is gone and the Vipers are no more, the War chief shall lay down their spear, and there shall be great rejoicing.
All citizens of TEP shall be granted a seat at the Indaba, where we shall talk and we shall listen to one another, and where we will come to agreement. Any may speak freely, and all shall listen. And the Elders and the War Chief shall listen to the Indaba, and shall take from the Indaba the will of the people.
To keep the East Pacific unified, in case the tribal elders cannot perform their duties, the Pax shall be given a ruling say over all matters related to the East Pacific and its affairs.

What I tried to do was not to replace the Charter (which I quite like) but to shelve it for a while in favour of something lighter and more fitting to this time.
I also wanted to preserve the principle of every citizen having an active say in the direction of the region, while allowing the eldership to provide real leadership.
It was made up on the fly, so probably could use some tweaking. Feel free to chip in, folks.
Give me some time to respond later today. I have an interview in about 5 hours and I barely was able to get a suit deal under $200 before the store closed for the day…:ph43r:
Tribal gov’t structure. Awesome idea dude! [/surfer talk] Sort of reminiscent of Lemuria’s Houses, which were supposed to govern as well as have their histories created in high RP style. I’m sorry I haven’t had more time to keep up with reading over here.
walks over to the other forum to try selling them an adaptation of it
No offense to you, Darkesia, but the thought that any idea of mine had aided that bunch of smegheads in the Empire would leave me feeling somewhat … sullied.
Let them get on with their imperialist-kiss-my-ass roleplay.
I like it as well. Here is the question though, is this related to NS in any way? Packilvania has long ago expired, but no-one has ever challenged my rights as a citizen. Anyone should be allowed to be an EP citizen of they desire.
You are Packilvania, what good would it be to challenge your rights, as is set by others, you need not have a nation in game to be a citizen of the EP, Wachovia is still a citizen, , ,

Though, you know, maybe it might be a good idea if you got your nation back and joined the WA…?

That may be ideal but Pack has long retired from the NS portion but since Pack has been with us so long their was and is not need to question citizenship for Pack (plus I fear assimilation into the hive O_o :P)
