Just curious, is Thud the President, then? When did he officially replace Spiffor?

And I think you are meaning Arnelos...

Nimitz · October 10, 2002, 15:50

Thanx for the correction and Thud was picked when Spiffor quit for time reasons so he was picked by all the members of the party at that time.

jdjdjd · October 10, 2002, 16:46

I would do the liaison job, if you need someone.

Thud · October 10, 2002, 18:05

The DIA Charter

Section I: Preamble:

The People Of Apolytonia, wishing not to be denied their Unalienable Rights, Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Wealth and Happiness, hereby organize this political organization, The Democratic Industrialists of Apolytonia. The nation shall have her rights entire, and her liberties inviolate as long as the Democratic Industrialists of Apolytonia safeguard the land against bloodshed and tyranny. We have witnessed a series of horrific wars, and this party shall not allow the deaths of our brethren to continue. So it is that that we here, with the publication of this Charter, highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under The Great Banana, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Section II: Leadership:

There shall be four (4) DIA leadership positions:

1. The President: The President shall be elected by public mandate every 2 months, or within a week of the previous President stepping down. Should have
responsibilities of directing short-term policy, encouraging party activeness (i.e. via PMs to party members), establishing policy threads, chats, and manual polls when necessary.

2. The Vice President: The Vice President shall be appointed by the President. In the event of the President stepping down, the Vice President will act as
Interim President for the 1-week election period. The Vice President will assist in encouraging party activeness, establishing threads, chats, and polls,
and advise the President.

3. The Public Relations Officer: The PR officer shall be a volunteer posting, appointed by the President but not required to hold any set term. The PR Officer will be responsible for maintaining a good outward appearance, promote DIA interests in the forums, and do other Public duties.

4. Government Liaison: The Government Liaison shall be appointed by the President. The Government Liaison will assist the government of Apolytonia in any capacity, as described Section III, and attempt to encourage Minister
Policy to meet our goals.

Section III: Long-term policy:

1. Concentrate on and encourage internal development, overseas exploration, and domestic expansion, as well as development of technology and trade resources.

2. Avoid war, unless this interferes with the first objective in a critical and unavoidable manner.

3. Attempt to achieve long-term allies in order to foster trade, and supplement our nation's defensive situation.

4. Aim to achieve Space Exploration or Cultural victory.

5. Aim to increase cultural, trade, and science spending over military largesse.

Section IV: On Disbandment and Continued Activity:

Possibly, much organized political opposition may evaporate. In this case, the DIA should retain the above policy, and continue to be active, but change stance so as to be supportive to government operations and help ensure the smooth running of Apolytonia. In short, we may be forced to adapt to a one party political climate, but I believe that if this occurs, it will be short lived regardless. Future technological advancements as well as additional government types supportive of war, and yet maintaining a decent economy, i.e. communism, should create circumstances where new political parties will form, which will not share the DIAs peaceful outlook.

Section V: Public Elections:

In order to direct the Apolytonian people in an apt and acceptable manner, and accomplish our goals expediently, the DIA hopes to support a candidate for
every Ministerial position during elections. In this way, true democratic elections, ones not run against the banana, but between 2 people with differing views that could cahnge Apolytonia for the better.
