    Office of the Governor General of Equilism
    Executive Order #0003
    5 November, 2020

    The Judicial Process described by Article 7 of the Equilism Township Charter is currently unable to be engaged due to the collapse of the government, lack of elected officials and low numbers of active citizens of The Town Hall.

    Under the Conservatorship of The Governor General, Article 7, Section 2 through Section 8 of the Equilism Township Charter regarding Judicial Process is hereby suspended.

    The rights of any citizen to bring a criminal complaint to the Town Hall, the right to Judicial transparency, the right to petition The Founder, and the responsibility to uphold Equilism law remains in effect.

    Article 7: Judicial Process

    1. Any citizen may bring a criminal complaint against another citizen to the Town Hall.
    2. When a criminal complaint is brought, the town must elect two citizens to serve as judges alongside the Town Moderator. Where no other regulations exist, procedures for judicial elections will follow those laid out in this document.
    3. No citizen with a conflict of interest may serve as a judge for that complaint. Someone has a conflict of interest if they are or are perceived to be unable to rule fairly on a complaint due to personal history, known biases, or other similar factors.The accused and accuser in any complaint always have a conflict of interest in that matter.
    4. If a conflict of interest involves the Town Moderator, the election for judges will increase to 3 seats as the Town Moderator will not be allowed to serve. The Mayor will designate the presiding judge in this case.
    5. The elected judges will serve for the duration of the specific complaint, and will be disbanded after it concludes.
    6. The complainant may prosecute at their discretion or appoint another citizen to act as the prosecutor. They may also request that a prosecutor be appointed by the Mayor. If the Mayor is the defendant, the authority shall devolve to the Delegate, and finally the Founder.
    7. The judges will decide by majority vote whether to permit the complaint to go to trial, what the verdict is, and what the punishment shall be.
    8. The Town Moderator shall serve as the presiding judge in a trial unless a conflict of interest arises. The presiding judge will administer court procedures, post on behalf of the judges, and otherwise manage the trial. Court procedures may be established by law. The court's decision in these matters may be appealed to the Founder, who will have the final say.
    9. Trials must be conducted in view of all citizens in order to ensure accountability, transparency, and honesty on the part of the court. Only the Founder may authorize exceptions to this, and exceptions must be based on concrete regional security concerns. Private and classified information may be redacted from public view and available only to members of the Court.
    10. Violating this Charter, breaking other laws, or trampling on the rights of citizens or residents of Equilism are grounds for criminal charges. Additional criminal acts may be established by law.

    In the event that Judicial Process is found to be necessary, as a member of The Crimson Order, Equilism will engage the services of The College of Cardinals of The Crimson Order, which are authorized under the TCO Charter to oversee Judicial matters as directed by The Crimson King - Governor General Westwind.  The Regent of The College of Cardinals, Elegarth shall preside over any such Judicial Process in accordance with the TCO Charter.  The College of Cardinals sit in Inquisition for Judicial matters. It's members have 89 years of combined NationStates experience.

    From The Charter of The Crimson Order:

  2. On 3/6/2020 at 5:03 PM, Elegarth said:

    I humbly await for the decision of my fellow Cardinals. 

    I have failed to properly conclude this.  My apologies.

    Noting that all Cardinals were advised of the appointment, and there has been no dissent, The College of Cardinals has given it's Assent to the appointment of @Elegarth as Regent of The College of Cardinals, and therefore also sits as a member of The Court of The Crimson King (Cabinet).

    Hail Regent Elegarth!

  3. This creativity reminds me of a story from long ago in NS.

    In 2005, then Equilism President and Admin Nooterland issued a decree to ensure all forum members maintained a proper avatar, rather than leaving the default icon on their account.  All who failed to comply were enriched with a new avatar created by Noot's 2 year old daughter.

    It was an effective decree.

    Special Statement of The Crimson Order

    Members and Friends of The Crimson Order, and Citizens of the World:

    Back in that other world known as Real LifeTM, uncommon events are unfolding as we gather here in the NS Universe. I am reminded of a passage from the Sacred Texts of The Crimson Order, from the Tleilaxu Godbuk:

    "No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there come interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individuals."

    Today, each and every one of us has the lonely power that a single individual that can take action to steer the course of humankind.

    1. Please. Wash your hands.
    2. Don't Panic.

    Thank you, and May the Blessings of Max be upon You!
    Westwind, The Crimson King

     

    PS - Rumours that the Earth will be destroyed to make way for an intergalactic highway construction project for a hyperspace express route are purely fake news. Nonetheless, always remember your towel.
