Parliamentary Series #8

AUTHOR: Vista Major
DATE: 3/26/15

THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTORATE ACT
Recognizing that the Commonwealth is rising as an international force in The World.
Noticing that some regions wish to fully merge, partially-merge or become a protectorate with/for the Commonwealth.
Believing that this bill will clarify the process of a region consolidating with ours in some fashion or another.

Part I: FULL CONSOLIDATION WITH THE COMMONWEALTH OF FREE NATIONS
Full consolidation, also to be known as a merger, is the process and state-of-being of one foreign region being absorbed into the Commonwealth of Free Nations. In the process of a full consolidation, a region has its member-states transferred to the Commonwealth and then given "merger-citizenship", which is the right to vote in Parliament, but they are restricted from voting in elections or running for office until they apply to reach the appropriate citizenship status. In order for a full consolidation to come into being, the Head-of-State of the implying region must send in a formal request for merger to the Minister of foreign Affairs. If the request is acknowledged, then discussion will be held to work out the terms of the merger, detail the process, etc. Once agreements have been met (wuth respect to this law), the Minister of Foreign Affairs will contact the Chancellor for final approval on the merger. If approved, then the consolidation shall commence, and be finished within one month. If the Head-of-State requests so, they can leave a single nation in the former region for preservation purposes. If so, then the Minister of Defense/Head of the Military is responsible for protecting that region against assault and invasion.

Part II: PARTIAL CONSOLIDATION WITH THE COMMONWEALTH OF FREE NATIONS
Partial consolidation, also to be known as a partial-merger, is the process and state-of-being of one foreign region being partially absorbed into the Commonwealth of Free Nations. In the process of a partial consolidation, a region has a number member-states transferred to the Commonwealth and then given "merger-citizenship", which is the right to vote in Parliament, but they are restricted from voting in elections or running for office until they apply to reach the appropriate citizenship status. Also, the region shall come under the partial-management of the Minister of Defense and Minister of Foreign Affairs. In order for a partial consolidation to come into being, the Head-of-State of the implying region must send in a formal request for merger to the Minister of foreign Affairs. If the request is acknowledged, then discussion will be held to work out the terms of the merger, detail the process, etc. Once agreements have been met (with respect to this law), the Minister of Foreign Affairs will contact the Chancellor for final approval on the merger. If approved, then the consolidation shall commence, and be finished within one month. If the Head-of-State requests so, the merged-region can adopt the government of the CFN. If not, then the Defense Minister of Foreign Affairs Minister will simply be installed into the existing executive government (if any) and have the right to shape policy with respect to the region's law code and/or constitution and without the intent of forcing a full merger of the region into the Commonwealth of Free Nations. If anything should happen in which the law of the region or the foreign law of the CFN is violated, then the situation shall be handled in the region's home circuit court or the Federal Court of the CFN, repecitvely, and at the discretion of the Minister of Justice in the CFN.

Part III: PROTECTORIZATION OF A REGION INTO THE COMMONWEALTH OF FREE NATIONS
Protectorization, also to be known as a stationing or statehood-act, is the process and state-of-being of one foreign region coming under the governance and protection of the Commonwealth of Free Nations. In the process of a protectorization, a region shall come under the full management of the Minister of Defense and Minister of Foreign Affairs. In order for protectorization to come into being, the Head-of-State of the implying region must send in a formal request for merger to the Minister of foreign Affairs. If the request is acknowledged, then discussion will be held to work out the terms of the merger, detail the process, etc. Once agreements have been met (with respect to this law), the Minister of Foreign Affairs will contact the Chancellor for final approval on the statehood-act. If approved, then the stationing shall commence, and the Defense Minister of Foreign Affairs Minister will have the right to shape policy with respect to the region's law code and/or constitution (however retaining the authority to bypass this respect). If anything should happen in which the law of the region or the foreign law of the CFN is violated, then the situation shall be handled in the region's home circuit court or the CFN Federal Court, respectively, and at the discretion of the Minister of Justice of the CFN.

SUB-ARTICLES
I: This law can be edited by Parliament at any time, but a repeal of any aspect must be taken up by Cabinet and any region under rule via this law.

Questions....and comments.
First off thanks for writing such as Bill it's great that we are talking about this as I would love to see the CFN become a more global player.

I think we need to attach some labels, not just same "consolidate"

ONE: So for regions who want to fully join our region their government would slide it's power to us until all the citizens are here in this region.

TWO: For regions who would only be partial merging with us....we need to clarify exactly what that means for them and for us. Are they a colony? and state?
For partially merged regions I recommend having then become....A Commonwealth State.
and giving them full Statehood rights....meaning they would continue to elect their own officials and Prime Minister or Premier.
They would continue to pass their own laws although those laws must be submissive to the Commonwealth CONST.
On top of that, that may have their own courts, lower and higher, although Our Court of Second Resort(Appeals Court) as well as Our Supreme Court will serve as their highest courts of Appeals and must abide by our rulings.....In essence a citizen of Commonwealth State can be tried by the state's lower courts, but can appeal to Federal Court(which would be us.)
The Commonwealth State should also have not only a Prime Minister or Premier to run it's government but should elect representatives to serve as Members of Parliament here. So they have representation in our system...should any Bill arise involving states they may vote.
Also I don't believe that having anyone of their citizens move here is good. All of them should stay there and continue normal stuff...only now with a strong Federal Government(the CFN)
Military Wise you could create a State Guard. Where the PM or Premiere of the State could raise an Army and that would serve as the Guard, they would answer to the State's PM but are subservient to the Federal Govt(us)

I hadn't quite finished the bill. I simply wanted a basis in by that night. The bill has been edited.
