[edit] Introduction

The Foreign Division is a relatively traditional yet unique alliance in CyberNations. The alliance was founded by Tamurin on the 21st of February 2007, and during the Third Great War accepted refugees from both sides. The Foreign Division (TFD) is a democratic alliance with an elected legislative body (Senate) and several ministers as well as a Speaker of the Senate as head of the government.

Membership in The Foreign Division is open to all members of CyberNations. We don’t ask you where you were and what you did. Here with us only what you are and do now and in the future counts. This is your place to start over, leave the past behind and move on. We ask that applicants end any war(s) they may be involved in prior to seeking membership.

All members enjoy the right of free speech, security and identity protection. It is illegal for any government body to investigate the past of any member. This information may only be provided by the members themselves.

[edit] President & Speaker

The President of The Foreign Division was a Senator and Head of the Ministers. The President managed the elections of the Senate and oversaw all government work. To be eligible for the President position, a nation must have had resided in The Foreign Division for at least 6 months (determined by the joining date on the forums). The term of the President was limited to 3 months.

As of November, 2007, the position of President has been replaced by the Speaker. The Speaker is a Senator who is elected by the Senate. He replaces the President completely. That way, TFD has become a parliamentarian democracy.

[edit] Senate

Senators are elected from general membership of The Foreign Division. To be eligible for a Senate position, a nation must have resided in The Foreign Division for at least 3 months (determined by the joining date on the forums). Senators are in office for 4 months, after which there are elections for the positions. Every two months two senators are re-elected. The two senators up for re-election are the two senators who were not up for election two months previously. Thus every two months two senators are re-elected who then serve for 4 months before being up for election again. There are five seats open for Senators (since November 2007; before, there were only four).

[edit] Ministers

Ministers are elected by the Senate by from amongst suitable candidates for the position (they must put themselves forward). There are four Ministers for the four Ministries (Immigration, Economic Affairs, Security and Foreign Affairs). A Minister may not be a Senator or vice versa. Ministers are in office for three (3) months, after which there is another election for that position. If a Minister resigns, is expelled or the election result is vetoed, another election is held immediately, for that Minister position only.

The Minister of Internal Affairs (formerly known as Minister of Immigration) is responsible for the growth of the Foreign Division and for winning new members. He can appoint aides and manages the Foreign Division thread in the “Player Created Alliances”-subforum on the CN-boards. He’s also responsible for helping new members and the aid system. The Minister of Internal Affairs' oversight extends to Community Management, Education, and Communcations, which keep the community active, educate and provide guides to the TFD members, and provide a closer interaction between TFD events and TFD's members respectively.

The Minister of Economic Affairs is head of the Tech Deal and Trade Guild Centers. He oversees Tech Deals and Trade Guilds inside of TFD, and organizes said programs with TFD's allies for maximum effect and efficiency. He may appoint aides. In March 2009, the Ministry of Economic Affairs was split into two sections with two Ministers over each section. The resulting sections are called Ministry of Economic Affairs and Director of the Bank. This splits the Bank & Aid Center and the Development Center from the Ministry of Economic Affairs to increase efficiency in the Economic Department.

The Director of the Bank is head of the Bank & Aid Center. He handles loans and deals with all issues in this area. He also oversees the Nation Development Center. He organizes the routing of aid from the bank to the Nation Development Center to promote maximum overall growth in The Foreign Division. He may appoint aides.

The Minister of Security heads the Defense Group and the Intelligence Group. He coordinates both groups and appoints officers. The internal management of both groups is his responsibility. He can order defense missions to help attacked members. He is also responsible for the proper appliance of the constitution and for the internal security of the alliance. He obeys orders from the Senate only.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs is responsible for the relations with other alliances, embassies and contacts with other alliances/organizations and the public reputation of the Foreign Division. He may appoint diplomats and aides, found embassies, establish foreign relations and he has a mandate for brokering treaties, although those treaties have to pass the Senate.

The Minister of Education is responsible for the individual development of our members besides trades and technology and guides nations from their early stages to nuclear superpowers. The Ministry of Education was created in January 2008. After elections in January 2009, the Ministry of Education was absorbed into the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

[edit] Magistrates

The Magistrates act as the body of law. They head all trials and may not hold the office of Senator, Speaker, Minister, or Deputy Minister. This was enacted in February 2009.
