The Fair War Act [Draft 1.6]
Justinious McWalburgson III
Firstly i would like to say how I am finally happy with the state of Erepublik in awhile. Without trying to jinx what we do have now. I am very happy with the verbal ceasefire that has occurred between America and its Canadian Neighbors. This war became more of a trouble that it should have, that it i ever thought it could have, and more than it was ever worth. What is a slightly better economy at the cost of how we are viewed by the rest of world? This has caused me to think very hard over what could be done to better this system. Although this may never work in the real world, my idea adapts very well to the world of Erepublik. I propose The Fair War Act.
> Please note this more of a corporate merger in idea, than an actual war. Its better to think of each nation as a company for the sake of waging war. both nations fail and take a lose in the end.
>> Let Me State This : This Act is to be used when both parties(both Countries) agree on the engagement. It has to have the consent of both the leaders of either country before hand. Otherwise you'll just have to result to "the killing each other for the heck of it, ruin both of your economies, cause everyone to hate each other way everyone loves soo much act".
The Fair War Act here by planned out on April of The Year 2008, Day 146 of the New World. The Fair War Act is a New way to wage war in the New World. A way for two nations with minimal differences to truly come together under one flag, with minimal disturbances in the social and economic areas. The following guidelines have been established to provide a easier way for nations to wage eWar with another. Its an open communication war between two sides.
I. No Nation is obligated to follow these guidelines, and they are adopted where they are felt to be needed. Any Nation adopting these guidelines in their completion should state this properly to any other involving nations.
II. Before any formal declaration of war is made or discussed openly both leaders of their respective nations must have conversed with each other and come to a formal agreement.
A. The Leaders of both Nations must establish what will be the extent of the war, how much one nation will pay the other, when to notify their public upon the decision, and what lines may not be crossed by either nation.
{EDIT:}-The best way for a contract to be established is just to post the established Country contract in the Contract Forum.
B. This will be a verbal contract and Honorable contact is expected, both parties must decide on the consequences for a breach in the contract during the extent of the war. Both Leaders are to be Fully Informed of the Intents of the other, any attempt by either side to trick the other, will null the contract, and may call for intervention from the admin. All penalties for a breach in contract will call for all penalties to be enforced as stated in the contract
C. Both sides must Electronically Sign a document and sent it to one another, and also later publish said document for their own people to see. Just posting a topic in the Contracts forum will suffice
III. The Leaders of both Nations must then inform their citizens of the war upon the following lines.
A. In a formal statement the leader of each nation will announce the proposed idea for the war, stating the guidelines reached, the consequences, and the lines that shall not be crossed during the war time.
B. If any citizens feel they do not agree with what has been established for the war they are able to take up a formal complaint with their superior politician or officer to take this up with the Nations advisement council.
C. The Consequences for any citizen breaking the rules of engagement shall be posted so they are will informed of this. If any citizen being will informed does so willing break the guidelines established he shall suffer the consequences set out by both nations, including but not limited too, loss of job, to be ostracized, and expulsion from any formal rank or position.
IV. During the actual act of war certain ways must be established to assure a smooth transition from battle to battle.
A. Firstly the attacking nation must establish a series of groups or departments. Neither the names nor the actual entities are important in this matter, it is the idea and the method of war that is being addressed. When High Quality items are called for which are not available they can be omitted
1. Both governments need to establish a Defensive and Assault League. The purpose of which is to have the government direct control over their national army, to minimize any cheating or bug exploitation.
2. Both Nations shall also instate a Fair War League of citizens appointed by the government and funded by the government to give out high quality gifts to the losers of any given battle on either country.
3. If any citizen wills to be part of any of these departments they need to contact their government recruiting office.
B. The Attacking Nation shall also set up an account in the Defending nations own currency. The nation will then start buying the foreign currency in exchange for Gold and in exchange for the local currency. This is to establish a smooth economic transition. With all the currency being exchanged properly this prevents economies from suffering from having money that is unable to be spent.
C. Both Nations shall highly subsidize any and all moving tickets, to allow any citizens who do want to be seen as an invader or to be invaded a way of leaving. This will minimize on any social unrest.
1. it is highly recommended that during this time, no citizens voice hatred towards the opposing nation, gloating should be not present, and any form of nationalism which boarders extremism or racism shall be dealt with as their leader sees fit.
2. If any soldier is found during this time is found to be in full knowledge of what he is doing, to be going against what their government has established as fair guidelines they are to be punished to the full extend of eRepublik law.
D. Established by the leaders of the Defense and Assault leagues. To aid in a quick battle, and to minimize all draws the following shall be instated. These Guidelines are stated as such to provide quick take over when both countries agree on these. they are not mandatory, and are not expected to work in all occasions.
1. All Attackers shall be equipped with Q2 or higher quality weapons when available. All soldiers in the Assault league shall be of the highest national strength available.
2. All Defenders should not have any items equipped with any weapons when possible, also the Defensive league soldiers should have a strength of 2.5 or less when at all possible. These soldiers should also be of very high wellness, with hospitals available.
3. When Conquering and Securing a territory, the Maximum amount of Attackers and the Minimum amount of defenders should be used to assure speed.
4. Please take note this is not an attempt to rig the mechanics of war in the game, but rather a way of merging to countries in the cleanest fashion.
5. If any mercenaries are hired by either side they need to be fully and completely informed of the contract and rules of engagement. No Country can claim innocent on the actions of a mercenary if that mercenary was hired by the country.
V. After The War is over, both sides shall come to a peace meeting and the rest of the contract shall be fulfilled, with both sides completing their expected duties.
A. The Nation who has now conquered the other must establish a political party representing the nation that has just been taken over.
B. All Citizens of the new nations shall have the same rights, and shall be considered as social equals from that point forward. Any unrest or social prejudice left over after the war shall be dealt with their respecting Leaders.
VI. If any nation would only like to adopt these guidelines in part, and not in whole. They are expected to Inform any involved member, be they nations, leaders, citizens, or otherwise of all changes being made. They are also to state clearly which areas have been altered, why, and how so. This is to clear up any confusion, and to further prevent any foul play. All Citizens of Erepublik are held under the hopes of honorable conduct and all are expected to act thusly.
Well that my friends is The Fair War Act. I hope you like it, i still think the initial version was slightly better, but still if u have any comments, suggestions, complains, ridicules, anything. Comment me, or PM me. If your nation would like to Adopt it please PM I'd be very excited to know this.
Thank you again. ~Justinious
Comments
Que? Donde estas? Por Que? No se que tu habla.
lo siento. Yo no se como escribe en espanol muy buen.
It is not a good time to post an article. The servers are going crazy.
Yah i know, this is the second time i\'ve posted it. it got somehow deleted off the server after 20 mins of being up. i\'m gonna repost it probably tomorrow as well. i backed it up on my computer
I think its a good idea.
Aprende English.
@Magnitude, Thanks Glad you like it 😃
I like the name of the act, but I do not agree with most of this stuff. Have the Presidents talk to each other? What if they cannot because of many differences? All of this would not work just like what you guys call \"Real Life.\"
It is about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War
@ Olu Dara
Oh i know. This Would and could not possibly work in every circumstance, this Takes into account that both parties will actually want the war to happen to benefit the new country. Finding a country who will willingly give up its sovereignty to another would be hard to find. but in that case, this is a list of easy guidelines to achieve that.
uhhh thats really long... i didn\'t read it. sounds good though. if it means more money and less stupid stuff
This can be very beneficial and holds some very essential ideals. Lets get this voted up to see a response from those holding official positions.
Yahhh, thats what i\'m aiming for.
Okay, it seems like it is staying up this time. It sounds good, but the part about signing, you just do that in the contract section of the forum.
Regarding Indonesia - Australia War, from Indonesian point of view
I. Noted
II. I\'ve already told President Neo of Australia on Indonesian stance couple weeks before we went war. However, those term you mentioned, will make more a wargame rather than a war, which could have an impact on troops moral.
III. We are also looking for any misconduct done by Indonesian people during the fight. But so far, it has been a good fight between Indonesia and Australia. (regardless the number of forces)
IV.
A. Those military organisation depends on each country. We have in Indonesia, the Ministry of Defence and ABeRI simulated organisation. We currently do not know how Australia organise their military.
B. I thought they got a citizen fee. I am still confirming it to the new citizen of Indonesia in Brisbane, Perth and Darwin.
C. Not sure about this, yes we can provide moving ticket, but they have to earn that by themselves, no difference whether they are Indonesian or Australian.
D. These high-quality-fight rules seems cannot be implemented.
V.
A. I\'ve been thinking of that, and it is their choice if they want make a new party.
B. No problem. But still it could be hard with Indonesian mainly using Bahasa Indonesia and Australian using English, nevertheless, reconciliation should be a priority.

President of Indonesia
@ Diarmuid Trelsmsan
yah, hopefully it will stay up now. Well that is part of the plan, they use these guidelines (which i admit are in need some revision) and then they post it to the Contract Forum. to make the contract binding
But by this act, there would be no wars.
@Olu Dara
This Act isn\'t supposed to be for every war and every situation. Wars will always persist. As stated above this act is when both countries share very much in common, have lil small social differences and think that they would both benefit from becoming a single country and Economy. By no means is everyone supposed to adopt this Act, only when they see it necessary.
Case-by-case basis, it definitely works.
@ President isnuwardana
I know this may not be able to help in the war you are already in, but thank you for you advice. I have made several edits to the document on the lines of which u have pointed out.
Its good to see actual legal ideas finally being proposed.
Hmm again.
If it\'s put up to vote, I\'ll certainly vote for it, as a non-obligatory act such as this can\'t hurt anything. Hope to get some more free time soon so I can read (and consider) this guy in full.
@ Mosche Herzi
Thank you sir. I noticed they were lacking in some areas and thought it would do no harm to propose my own bill of sorts.
@ InfernoSD
Well thank you sir as well. Although it is still in draft form i appreciate people taking such a kind view to it. Yes if a country adopts it it could be voted in and just used on a case to case basis (as Ron Paul stated earlier) when the President finds it fits the situation.
Thats long, im sick and tired but i did read a decent portion. My apologies for not reading it all. A wonderfully written and planned article. THis has some hope of success if the right people see it. It has my vote. Thank you for using logic to solve problems instead of weapons and ignorant insults.
P.S. That last statement was not meant to be aimed at any particular individual, nationality or ethnicity. Just so things dont get misinterpreted as they often do.
@ Lupus Mucro
ahaha thank you sir for your time and your honest. No i did not take your comment in teh right way, on the contrary i agree whole heartedly in that statement. I tried to summarize to the best of my ability the entire Act in the first 3 paragraphs, the Bolded areas being the most important. Thank you again
