Section 3-After being accepted into the alliance, the members will go 2 weeks in which they will be on probation. In which time they must show excellent behavior in order to become a full member. During this period they can be asked questions pertaining to anything CN, this is the interview time. If during this probationary period they show that they cannot keep up the conduct or discipline they will be given an additional 48hr period of time to move on to another alliance.

Article II - Government
Section 1-The appointed government of the Sentries will be lead by a Supreme Council consisting of 3 members and a Council Committee of 4 members. The Supreme Council has the final say in all matters, however they can seek help or ask the Council Committee to help in decisions. The elected government of the Sentries will be the Directorate. They will consist of Finance, War, Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, and Training.
Section 2-The Supreme Council is the head of the alliance, together they are the face of the alliance. In order for any matter to be passed then 2/3 of the Council needs to vote for it. They are responsible to get the Committee together to help them pursue all of their goals.
Section 3-The Council Committee is the Judicial branch of the alliance. They are there to help run and advise the Directorate of any decisions needed to make, programs to run, and where their time should focus more on. They are responsible to propose advancements within the alliance (ie. propose amendments, nominees, and programs to add/delete). In the case that a Supreme Council member is absent, then the Committee gets the remaining votes on the issue.
Section 4-The Directorate are the eyes and ears of the alliance, they make sure all areas of the alliance is running smoothly. They have the right to get treaties proposed, develop programs for advancing the alliance, organize rosters, and all other matters similar.

If an issue comes up the DoFA, deputies, Council, and Committee all work together to right the wrong. Keeps everyone up to date on the happenings of the alliance.

Article III- Elections
The election period of the Sentries will be every 3 months. There will be a 48 hour nomination period, 72 hour debate, 48 hour voting period. After this period the new Directorates will be put into place where they may begin finding assistants and everything else they need for the term.

If there is a tie then the council will pick 1 random person who they feel is right.

Rule 2-All nations must buy nukes when possible so as to be well defended in times of war and peace.
Rule 3-No nation may use nukes unless messaged by a member of the Supreme Council, or a posted is made on the forums from all the Council members.

Rule 5-Any nation that has a problem with attacking a target may ask for another target. However, if a new target isn't given then they must go through with the attack.

Article VI - Rogues/Raiding
Rule 1-Absolutely, no tech raiding is allowed among the Sentries. We have a 2 strike warning system against unaligned raiding targets. And an attack on an aligned target is an automatic punishment. Ranging from No aid for a set period of time to expulsion for the alliance as a whole.
Rule 2-A rogue is defined as someone who has not applied properly to the alliance, someone who tech raids past the warning system, sends private information to an outside source, tries to recruit from within the alliance or another alliance at any time. Doing any of these can have very serious punishments as these are serious crimes in the eyes of the Sentries.
Rule 3-If any member or probationary uses a nuke in an offensive or defensive war without permission from the Council, then they
will be expelled from the alliance, however after 30 days they can have an appeal hearing in which if they convince the Committee with a viable reason for reinstatement. The Committee after the hearing will meet and discuss whether or not to reinstate membership status.
