President Denland
Role-Playing Reform Act (2017)
Date of Proposal: 19/5/2017
Proposed by: Nostris
Written by: Nostris (Citizen)
Serial Number: HB; 5.2017.0013
SHORT NAME: RPRA
LONG TITLE: Role-Playing Reform Act
Definitions
1. This act will reform the FNR RP into becoming more fun and fair as well as a better potential of being more active.
Notations
1. The geopolitical map of Earth in 2017 will become the official map of the FNR RP Universe. Any future changes in the geopolitical map IRL will not affect the RP map.
2. The countries that currently exist as of 2017 will be options of choice for RPing as. Any new countries in the future IRL will not be added
3. Debated territories (such as Crimea) will be resolved based on whether more countries support one side or the other. For example: country X and Y claim a disputed area. 123 nations recognized it as X territory while 42 nations recognize it as Y territory. In the FNR RP map, it will be under X.
4. Countries not chosen by any members will be classified as NPC. Members that have not previously RPed in the universe will be able to become them.
5. The second-highest level of governance in a nation (such as states in the US) will be distinguished areas on the maps that are under the nations control. They can be conquered or seceded separately from the rest of the nation. The borders between them must be present.
6. Separate countries will be color-coded with no two countries having the same color on the map.
7. A new position called the Secretary of Cartography will be made. The primary duty of the SoC will be to make the map and update it when their are territorial changes. The SoC does not have the power to ban or eject anyone.
8. The Secretary of Cartography must make a factbook or dispatch that contains the map and a list of countries that are claimed and unclaimed. It must say who has the claimed country. The factbook or dispatch must be tagged on the WFE of the region. Due to this, they will be given the Appearance Power.
9. The Minister of Culture will be dissolved and replace with a new position called the Secretary of Role-Playing. The primary duty of the SoRP will be similar to the duty of the MoC, but will also ensure all RP content is fair and realistic. They will also be an established position instead a possible one up to the choice of the President.
9.1. The SoRP will carry out the enforcement of "fair and realistic" by examining all RP related RMB posts, dispatches and factbooks and anything elsefrom official RPs and either approve or reject them. They have the power to ban anyone, but must be approved by the President with a legitimate reason; such as trolling or refusing to listen, and later reviewed by the Court. Due to this, they will be given the Communication Gameside.
10. A member can become a certain region of a country instead of the country as a whole, but must be approved by the Secretary of RP. They must state specifically which areas the country occupies in the nation. For example: a member wants to play as the New England states of the US instead of all of the United States.
11. If someone thinks their RP content was unfairly judged by the SoRP; they can appeal to the President, who can either uphold their decision or overrule it.
12. If a certain area of a nations overview is approved by those directly influenced by it but not the SoRP, the SoRPs decision is overruled automatically. For example: a war is featured in country A's factbook with country B invading and capturing a certain region. Country B approves of it, but the SoRP does not.
13. Every month IRL will be a year in RP with the starting year being 2017.
14. All official/FNR Sponsored RP activity is highly recommended to occur over the Regional Message Board at the direction of the SoRP, and additional RPs can be ran on the Discord and Forums.
15. It is highly recommended that the SoRP make factbooks and dispatches that help in the creation in complicated RP content, such as future population estimates in certain regions and GDP. It is highly reccomended that they be linked in the WFE.
