The Peloponnesian League Charter


We, the undersigned nations forming the Peloponnesian League, hereby agree to promote national sovereignty, defend the nations of the League against outside aggression and advance the Peloponnesian League, its allies, and the peaceful nations of planet Bob to strength and prosperity.

i. Ability to propose, debate and vote upon issues of the League issues affecting the alliance.

A council member is removed if the council takes a majority vote or if a the DUal Monarchy wishes to remove one.

Like a regent, enacts as the second in command of the Peloponnesian League. Watches over all areas of the government below the Dual Monarchy. If one of the Dual Monarchs is absent or cannot be reached, the Palace Chancellor may make a decision for him/her in his/her place. 'Vice President.'

G ) Dual Monarchy.

The Dual Monarchy is the leading figures of the Peloponnesian League. They retain oversight of the Ephorate and council, may veto decisions of the council, and remove or bar officials from office. The Dual Monarchy may overrule the charter in a time of need. The Dual Monarchy serves at their leisure for life. A monarch can only be removed by a 75% (6/8) vote of no confidence by the Council. In this case the other Dual Monarch will appoint the new Monarch. The Dual Monarchy can make any decision, sign any treaty, or enact any reform necessary for the alliance in accordance to the Council. Thus if necessary, the Dual Monarchy may veto a decision of the council. The Dual Monarchy may appoint any title to any member for any reason. If the Council is unhappy with the decision of the Dual Monarchy, they can veto thee decision with a 75% (6/8) vote. In this case a new candidate will be chosen.
