Welcome to Viridia!

Community Conduct and Expectations

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.
The Viridian Entente prides itself on being a well-respected member of the games it plays. We do not engage in the slandering, bickering, “trolling” and drama observed in various threads on the Cybernations Open World Forums (forums.cybernations.net), or any other forum VE participates in.
Community guidelines and expectations for forum and IRC conduct must be established and enforced. While the main audience for these guidelines is the VE membership, we ask foreign diplomats and friends of the VE to be respectful of our community code of conduct.
Does the Viridian Entente Use Censorship to Control Its Membership?
The Viridian Entente does not use censorship to control its membership. However, when you make a post or a statement on a forum or IRC channel, you represent yourself and the Viridian Entente. Posts may be edited for clarity and you may be asked to refrain from certain syntax or discussion on certain areas of IRC, but this is simply a matter of etiquette. Similar to real life, there are certain places within Cybernations where you are expected to be respectful and serious, in addition to places where such expectations are nonexistent.
Proper Forum Posting Guidelines
All members of the Viridian Entente are expected to be respectful of friend, foe or neutral on the forums of the Viridian Entente, or any other forums with a VE presence, including allied and non-allied alliance forums. While we have no stringent guidelines, we expect you to have the maturity to post responsibly. If a member asks you to stop doing something, you are expected to comply if it is harassing that member.
Pornography, racist, sexist, discriminatory, prejudice, and illegal content is not allowed on the forums of the Viridian Entente or on the forums of allied and non-allied alliance forums (without their consent). Violators will be referred to the Department of Internal Affairs for review. Punishment includes warnings, forum account suspension, revoked access from visiting foreign alliance forums, expulsion, or a combination of the aforementioned.
The contents of private messages are not monitored; however, the rules previously mentioned still apply. It is up to recipients of inappropriate messages to report them to the Secretary of the Interior.
Proper IRC and Forum-Chat Guidelines
The Viridian Entente uses an installed chat client on its forums for mainly dealing with applicants. The IRC channels on the Coldfront server are the Entente’s main chat channels.
The same regulations and appropriate material for forum posting applies to IRC and in-forum chat guidelines.
Conclusion
You will find that the community of the Viridian Entente is laden with jokes, sarcasm, lighthearted mocking and silliness. We wish to have a friendly and open community. The standards set forth in this post are to merely reinforce the consequences of taking things too far. When in doubt, just don’t post.

We are a meritocratic constitutional oligarchy based upon the ideals that the very best should lead, and that all things must be earned through hard work and service for the community.
Viridia works to create a community accommodating to the full spectrum of individuals, be they politically left or right, intense role-players or casual gamers, serious or laid-back. We put great effort in creating an atmosphere of friends and family in which all members are included and important, no matter how small, new, or seemingly insignificant.
Politically, we are warriors of common sense based upon meritocracy, led by a secure and stable government of appointed officials built to play to each other’s strengths and diminish weaknesses.
Those who share our meritocratic views and work hard quickly earn our respect. Members of the Entente do not lie, cheat, or steal, but they are respectful and thoughtful to all individuals.
The VE prides itself on being a leading force in each of the games it's involved in and strives to constantly improve itself.
We are currently accepting membership applications for all games we participate in and welcome foreign diplomats to maintain embassy communications with us.

Charter of the Viridian Entente

I – PREAMBLE
Article I.
The Viridian Entente (herein referred to as “The Entente”) is an alliance open to all nations of the Cyberverse. It is the goal of The Entente to provide for the prosperity and defense of its members and the Green Team with honor, honesty, initiative, and innovation. All nations who join the Entente agree to abide by this document.

II – ESTABLISHMENT OF RIGHTS
Article I.
Every nation within The Entente holds the right to free speech within the alliance. A forum of the people will be provided so that each nation may freely air its grievances, suggest improvements, propose legislation to be voted on by the Parliament, and generally speak its mind. However, the Lord, Duke and Parliament, or any appointed moderators, retain the right to edit any posts made by members for the sake of clarity and organization, not censorship (save in instances as required by greater law), as well as the right to restrict conversing publicly on specific sensitive issues and during crises, in order to ensure a unified and clear message.

Article II.
Any nation currently represented in The Entente has the right to secede at any time if it so wishes. However, it is required to submit a letter of resignation to the Secretary of the Interior. If a nation wishes to be readmitted into The Entente, it must follow the same admission guidelines as first-time applicants. However, The Lord and the Secretary of the Interior retain the right to restrict membership flow during times of war and mandate repercussions for desertion.

III – EXECUTIVE
Article I.
The Executive Branch of the Viridian Entente shall be comprised of and led by the Lord of the Entente. He is to be involved in all aspects of the game and all aspects of The Entente, with powers only limited where explicitly stated within the charter. The position of Lord is perpetual, only ending upon the wish of the Lord himself, or by process of impeachment.

Article II.
The Duke of the Entente, appointed by the Lord himself with the advice of Parliament, shall serve as the second-in-command of the Executive Branch, assisting the Lord and fulfilling his various roles on a limited scale. The Duke retains all the powers of the Lord, save the ability to provide executive approval of treaties and legislation, any changes in parliament, or declare war when not obligated by treaty. At the discretion of the Lord, the Duke may fill a vacancy in Parliament.

Article III.
Any legislation passed by Parliament must first be approved and signed by the Lord of the Entente before it can be executed. The Lord's approval is not required to sign into law any legislation passed by a unanimous vote of Parliament.

Article IV.
Should the Lord of the Entente abdicate or be removed from office, the Duke of the Entente shall assume the role of acting Lord. The Duke, or any other candidate nominated by Parliament or the Lord of the Entente, can only take office of Lord permanently by the unanimous vote of Parliament. The Duke will continue to serve in the role of acting Lord until the Secretaries unanimously appoint a candidate.

Article V.
At any time, the Duke of the Entente may be given temporary powers equivalent with those of the Lord of the Entente via unanimous vote by the Parliament. These powers will expire at a time specified in the aforementioned legislation voted upon, via unanimous vote by the Parliament, or by the decree of the Lord of the Entente.

Article VI.
If a nation in any leadership position fails to fulfill expectations, abuses his or her powers, or does not have the confidence of The Entente for any reason, a vote of no confidence may be initiated. For an no confidence vote to carry forth, at least five general members and one member of Parliament must put forth the leader to be voted upon and the reasons for impeachment. A vote will take place among the general membership for no less than 48 hours and no more than 72 hours. A supermajority of four-fifths, from the voting membership, is required to remove an official from office. The Lord or the Duke of the Entente may also be removed by the unanimous vote of Parliament.

IV – LEGISLATIVE
Article I.
Parliament shall be composed of Secretaries and Chancellors. Parliament can vote to ratify or reject amendments, to make laws and policies, and to decide other matters relating to the good of The Entente and its member nations. All members of Parliament may only vote once in any given matter, and no vote will wield more power over any other vote. All legislative votes need a simple majority to be passed. Members of Parliament shall be automatically reappointed every three months. The Lord has total authority on the composition of the Viridian Parliament at any time.

Article II.
All Parliament members must sign in when they vote, declaring that they have voted but not specifying what they voted for. If any Parliament member misses more than three votes without excuse, that Parliament member will instantaneously be removed from his position, with a replacement selected by the Lord of the Entente. The period of voting will consist from the time the vote is posted by a Parliament member, or the Executive, and last for one week. At the end of the voting period, if there is no majority, the issue voted on will automatically fail.

Article III.

Section 5. The Viridian Chancellery shall oversee the Entente's foreign affairs in cooperation with the rest of Parliament and the Executive. There may be up to 3 Chancellors at any given time. All Chancellors shall be equivalent to Secretaries but a Head Chancellor shall cast the Department's vote in Parliament as well as administer the day-to-day affairs of the Department. The Chancellors are also responsible for keeping track of and welcoming new Ambassadors and Diplomats to The Entente and maintaining a presence in allied embassies both on and off the Viridian Entente forums, to ensure The Entente keeps its allies informed on its happenings and fostering activity externally with regard to the alliance.

Article IV.
In the event that a Secretary must abdicate or resign from his or her position, the Lord shall appoint a replacement.

V – WAR
Article I.
The Viridian Entente recognizes war as a legitimate tool in order to maintain order, defend its members, and secure prosperity. The power to declare war on another organization for any reason other than mandatory treaty obligations lies solely with the Lord of the Entente, or any individual explicitly empowered by the Lord of the Entente. The Secretary of Defense, or any individual explicitly empowered by the Secretary of Defense, may only sanction wars on belligerents toward The Entente.

Article II.
The Secretary of Defense requires that all nations be on standby at times of war. If a nation is specifically called upon by the Secretary of Defense to declare war or send aid during wartime, that nation is required to do so. Failure to comply shall be considered desertion.

VI – AMENDMENT PROCESS
Article I.
If a nation finds that the Charter of The Entente needs to be amended, it is to bring the correction to the attention of the Parliament. An amendment will then be written and presented to the Parliament to be voted on. The amendment must pass with a three-fifths majority and be approved by the Lord of the Entente to be ratified. However, an amendment may also be ratified by the unanimous vote of Parliament.

About the Entente

The Viridian Entente expanded from Cybernations to include a community in Politics and War on December 8th, of 2014. Many members from the Entente's original game, Cyber Nations, have since joined the new game. The alliance functions very similarly to the Cyber Nations version of the Viridian Entente, with the same core principles and structure.
Since its expansion into P&W, the Viridian Entente has experienced rapid growth. VE became ranked first place overall within two months of being in the game. The Viridian Entente also participated and won its first major war (The Great VE War) with the help of its many allies, a testament to VE's strength militarily and politically.
