Construction Phase:
A noteworthy project such as PACT is not meant to be achieved by a single entity. The same is true for the governance and running of it but before that can be broached we must consider its inception and construction. All Mega Conglomerations, Colonies and Warlords are called upon to support this Major Project and chip in. To fund, to provide resources and see our first Major Project a success.
Our sector contains the following entities officially invited to partake in this construction.
4 Mega Conglomerates
Goods worth 1,000 = 4,000 Funds
10 Colonies
Goods worth 500 = 5,000 Funds
10 Warlords
Goods worth 0 = 0 Funds
-----------------------------------------------
= 9,000 Funds
The remaining 5,200 funds is to be provided by Founding members surpassing the stipulation listed here above. Keep in mind that 500 Funds in resources is the equivalent of ~10 Ablatives.

Governance
P.A.C.T. Directorate
The PACT Directorate is headed by an elected official called the “Chairman of the Board”. This official holds the priviledge of deciding which Proposals and Issues get put up for a vote. He or she enjoys a 2 term (turn) term. After which elections are held. Votes are cast via Turn Orders and to be publicized via Global Report.
T1 Election - T1 + T2 term / T3 election - T3 + T4 term / etc.
+ Elected position which is in office for 2 turns after which elections are held;
+ Any PACT member is eligible for the Chairman position;
+ No consecutive terms. Each term has to have a different Chairman from the previous term;
+ It is the prerogative of the Chairman to call votes on Proposals or Issues;
+ The Chairman’s vote is increased to 5 for the duration of their Term.
* In essence it is a Decision Making Unit of Peers. Under the guidance of a Chairman acting as a mouthpiece and benign regulator.
Votes pass on Absolute Majority Vote by 1.
PACT members
+ Vote on Proposals and/or Issues as called by the current Chairman of the Board.
+ Elect a Chairman after each term of 2 turns via Turn Order submission.
Membership only lasts when Commitments are fulfilled. Hence if commitments are not fulfilled, in turn order votes are discarded from the tally.
* Membership is furthermore terminated in the case of hostilities committed against PACT as an entity or its Passed Proposals obstructed. In either case a 500 Fund penalty is put on the offending Ex-member which when paid will be eligible for membership once more. Said penalty is to be added to the E.D.F.
