The Socari Act of 1659

[The Media Wizard 2958]

 

THE SOCARI ACT

FOR THE CREATION OF THE UNITED TREASURY OF ELVENESSE

Drafted by Azoth Hawksong

 

 

PURPOSE
The purpose of the SOCARI ACT is to establish the UNITED TREASURY OF ELVENESSE. This act would henceforth bring the entirety of the DOMINION OF MALIN and the MOTHER GROVE (as well as any future States of Elvenesse) under one, central system of the Treasury. All forms of government income would become the property and responsibility of the UNITED TREASURY underneath the Federal position of Lord or Lady Treasurer.

ARTICLE I
The United Treasury henceforth assumes all CAPITAL, CREDIT, and DEBT of each separate state underneath Elvenesse. Such funds will be forever be the responsibility of the Treasury and the Lord or Lady Treasurer. Such funds will be kept and be safeguarded in the Vault of Caras Eldar under the watchful supervision of the Treasurer and their administration. Any funds purposefully withheld from the Treasury and the Treasurer will be legally solicited and demanded if necessary.

ARTICLE II
A concise and accurate account of any and all monies within, entering, or departing the United Treasury will be kept by the Treasurer and consistently updated and refined. No records shall be demolished unless specifically instructed to do so by the governing body’s MASTER VOTE.

An audit of the Treasury can be requested at any time and must be provided within TWO Elven days of the initial request by the following positions: THE HIGH PRINCE, THE EXARCHS, or a MASTER VOTE.

ARTICLE III
Any and all departments by which the Treasury conducts its goals domestic and abroad will be expanded to Federally recognized positions. All departments of the past, present, and future will be supervised and reasonably held to accountability by the Treasurer. The defining of each department is henceforth of the department’s own volition underneath the guidance of the Treasurer and High Prince.

ARTICLE IV
The creation of BLOCK GRANTS will be established by the United Treasury. Such grants will allow districts and vassalized states to petition the Treasury for large sums of money for generic, wide-arcing purposes. Block Grants will be accepted by ONLY the order of the Treasurer OR the commission of the MASTER VOTE.

The United Treasury will also institute a system of LIMITED LOANS. These will be loans granted to citizens of Elvenesse by the Treasurer’s discretion. They must be given with signed contracts and repaid with no less than 10% TOTAL interest. Failure to do so within the agreed upon time-frame will result in the DCF’s involvement and seizure of property.

ARTICLE V
The United Treasury will not or ever establish any sort of tax or tariff on goods imported from other States under the Elvenesse Federal Government. Any and all trade will be conducted on the Free Market with no government regulations unless decided upon by a MASTER VOTE.

Regardless of any decision met, no regulations of the Free Market will be allowed by the Federal Government unless requested directly by the State’s governing administration or body.

ARTICLE VI
The United Treasury will now and forever be centralized in the district of Irrinor of Caras Eldar. If circumstances require a change in location, the site will be decided upon by a MASTER VOTE. Likewise, representatives of the United Treasury can be requested in any State under the Federal Elvenesse government at any time. This also allows governing bodies of such States to disband their need for the representative in the case of malpractice or unnecessary requirements.

 

ARTICLE VII
Federal positions within the United Treasury will be appointed by the Treasurer them self. The only way a position may be dismissed is by the Treasurer’s own volition or the MASTER VOTE.

ARTICLE VIII
Taxes upon districts and vassalized States will be of the Representative’s desire. The United Treasury (underneath the Treasurer) may never impose taxation of housing, goods, or any other commodity unless specifically desired by the State’s Representative on the Court. This, however, can be overruled by the commissioning of the MASTER VOTE.

ARTICLE IX
The United Treasury will always work in accordance of both Federal and State Laws wherever present. Any act of Criminality, Treason, or Civil Disturbance will be openly allowed to be tried by the High Prince Court ONLY. No State can openly declare a verdict for actions carried out by the Treasury.

ARTICLE X
Under the circumstance of disbandment of the United Treasury, all funds will go directly to the High Prince of the Dominion of Malin. This is non negotiable and cannot be overruled by the MASTER VOTE. Once in the possession of the High Prince, it can be chosen to be distributed or used to form another form of economic oversight at the High Prince’s discretion.

ARTICLE XI
The United Treasury holds the right to discuss and negotiate with foreign powers for the express purposes of trade and economic growth. Any decision regarding financial or economic deals by any other Federal or State position must be cleared by the Treasurer.

ARTICLE XII
Any powers not delegated or defined in this Bill can be added or detracted in future sessions of Federal council. Any amendment made must receive a proper MASTER VOTE. This also is the case with the abolition of the United Treasury, requiring the MASTER VOTE to be eradicated.
