==I. Organization==

A. A League Commissioner will preside over the League and its events.

B. The Commissioner will be elected democratically by the Members of
the League every six months.

C. The Members of the League will be those nations that have
participated in a League sponsored recwar in a civil and cooperative
way. The Commissioner will decide which examples of cooperation in
League sponsored recwars were or were not civil and cooperative. Each
Member will delegate one representative to vote in League matters.

D. Impeachment of a Commissioner, removal of a Member, or amendments to
this charter may all be done by a majority vote. Parts II, III and IV
of the Charter may be amended by the Commissioner alone if needed.

==II. Politics==
A. Any Member who can provide two opposing sides may submit a
declaration of war to the League. Wars will be provided with their own
forums as soon as possible.

B. Declarations of war must contain the fictional parameters of the
war, such as what technology level is allowed, whether or not to allow
magic, whether or not to allow nuclear weapons, and any modifications
to standard League rules. They must also contain an end date.

C. A declaration of war must also contain acceptable outcomes in terms
of real assets lost or gained. Nations can choose to engage in League
wars without any actual results or can choose to gamble territory,
currency, or some other incentive upon the outcome.

D. Belligerent parties can include nations, organizations, and
individuals. Once a war has started, no new belligerent party may join
except at the invitation of a belligerent party already participating.

E. Once a nation is involved in a war, it cannot leave the war until it
has signed a peace treaty with every nation it was formerly at war
with, either separately or all together. The peace treaty may have any
terms that the parties negotiating will agree upon. Non-national
belligerent parties may leave the war whenever they wish.

F. At any time, a nation that wants to leave the war can surrender, in
which case they lose everything they offered in Step C but are
considered at peace with the opposing nations. At any time past the
end-date of a war, if the war is still going on a nation that wants to
leave it can ask the Commissioner for a force peace, in which the
Commissioner drafts what he considers a fair peace treaty based on the
progress of the war thus far and forces both parties to sign it. No
force peace will take more from either side than they offered in Step
C.

G. When all nations have made peace with each other, or when the
conflict has become inactive, the war is considered closed.

==III. Forces==
A. The basic division of military strength is the unit. One real person
equals one military unit.

B. A unit has a strength equivalent to 25,000 soldiers, 5 battleships,
or 25 planes. Players are encouraged to have creative unit
compositions, but units keep this basic strength no matter what their
composition is. For example, a player could have 5,000 well trained
soldiers backed up by a group of tanks - with a strength still equal to
25,000 normal soldiers. Barring other variables to be discussed below,
all units start with equal strength.

C. Foot soldiers can move about 50 pixels on the MCS map per real time
day, perhaps a hundred if you push them. Boats can move about five
hundred pixels a day. Planes move instantaneously but cannot move far
from a base - either a friendly city or a carrier.

D. Each unit should generally have one post per day, giving opponents a
full day to react to any actions. It is much more permissible to
multiple posts per day dealing with backstory than to have a unit
perform multiple actions per day.

E. Land units are assumed to always have sea transport available from
friendly cities. These transports can move them overseas to the theater
of conflict, although of course they can only go as close as the
nearest port. They are not assumed to have free transport from anywhere
that is not a friendly city - a player with a naval force must take
care of that. No transports
can pass through an area controlled by an enemy navy without escort
unless they want to risk being sunk.

F. Units should clearly state any exceptional capabilities at the
beginning of combat so there is no temptation to do something dodgy
like claim a unit has paradrop capabilities when you really need to get
behind enemy lines. If a unit wants to have certain surprise abilities
that the enemy does not know about, they must get the Commissioner's
approval as close as possible to the beginning of combat and BEFORE the
abilities are used.

G. Two people can pool their units into a larger army if they agree on
who has control of the group and can post for it. However, at all times
each unit must correspond to a person who has posted at some point in
the last three days - no creating a unit, giving it to your friend, and
then leaving. If a person spends too long absent from the war, their
unit is considered to have deserted (although it will mysteriously come
together again if the person returns). Any unit that does not have any
orders will automatically defend itself if attacked but do nothing
else.

H. Actions can be made in secret only if there is a legitimate in-game
reason and it makes sense. A wing of stealth planes can presumably
attack in secret - an army of 100,000 men can probably not secretly
march across populated enemy territory. Secret actions can either be
revealed overtly with a disclaimer that they are secret and the enemy
should not know about them (such as sending a wing of stealth planes to
a hidden base) or, if there is too much of a temptation for the enemy
to respond, can be told to the Commissioner only without a
corresponding post (for example, if you are getting guerillas in
position to attack an enemy city and don't want the enemy to send
defenders there).

==IV. Battles==
A. A battle occurs when any unit or group of units attacks any other
unit or group of units.

B. The goal of the League is to have the outcome of all battles decided
by mutual consent of the two parties involved without the League itself
interfering, although the League realizes this might not always be
possible.

C. The variables that might decide battles beyond sheer manpower
(shippower? planepower?) are terrain, backstory, and gold stars.

D. Rough or high terrain tends to favor defenders and more experienced
troops. Familiar terrain confers some advantage, as does settled
terrain where the people support your side.

E. Backstory can affect combat - for example, if a unit is exhausted,
or has low morale, it might do worse in a fight, whereas if they are
desperately fighting for their homes and families under a charismatic
leader, that might help them.

F. Gold stars are awarded by the Commissioner or by any other people
who he or the belligerent parties by mutual agreement empower to award
them. They are given as a reward for literary and strategic merit, and
each one increases the power of the unit wearing it by 50% of base.

==V. Miscellaneous==
A. The League is intended primarily to have fun, improve literary and
tactical skills, and to build micronational patriotism. Anyone caught
taking the wars too seriously or trying to win at all costs will be
reprimanded, banned, or disliked.
