I(Dracul) have decided to Publicly share our Constitution so that it may be used/borrowed by other Clans when the time comes. Having said that, Terra grants you full permission to utilize and tweak the TerraCon for your clan's purposes, but please do give credit for the original framework to the Terran Federation. Thankyou.. ~~ All that is written below is not to be Abused, Usurped, or trampled over. This is our Code, our Written Laws. Follow Them. Respect Them. The Constitution is divided into Sections and Subsections. Each Section should discuss in detail various issues regarding Clan Life, both externally, and primarily Internally.
