Empire Of The Rose

The Empire Of The Rose is a alliance which came into existence by a merger between the former alliances of Imperium and Order of the Rose on September 14, 2012.
== History ==
The alliance is the product of a merger between Imperium and Order of the Rose. Before the merger, Imperium was an autocratic alliance led by the autocrat TokeMaster (now Chaos). Order of the Rose was a presidential democracy, and was led by their president Carter0912.
===Early Days===
The governments of the Imperium and the Order of the Rose had an IRC talk in early September 2012 about a potential merger that would take them together to enormous power. The terms were met by each party, and the merger took place on 14 September, forming a powerful alliance called the Empire Of The Rose. Other parties of Planet Anson approved the move by the two alliances positively, with individuals praising and uttering "o/ Empire of the Rose" and "All Hail Empire of the Rose". An initial government was set up to run the alliance in the beginning days, and Carter0912 became the first president of Rose.
===Rise to Power===
Soon after the merger, the alliance ranked #1 in-game, due to the addition of two large alliances. The Empire of the Rose had its first treaty, a protectorate, with the Helghast Empire, signed on 30 September 2012. It was soon followed by another treaty with the Helghans, a MDoAP. However, both treaties didn't last long, and the long friendship between Helghans and Rose deteriorated. The two alliances will be involved in a war later. Rose later made The New Beginning Accord with The Flock, an alliance which remained a long ally of Rose. The alliance was also involved in a treaty with the Galts Gulch.
Sometime on 2nd December 2012, a friendly chat between leaders of Zombieland and a few members of Rose turned aggressive when a member of Rose reacted to a personal attack by Zombies, which they considered as an insult, and asked for an apology in return for peace. Rose defended their member, and soon war broke out between the two alliances the next day, joined by the Confederate States, Team Aqua and Galts Gulch. The war continued till 12th December, when white peace was declared, days before the reset.
While in peacetime, Rose started rebuilding, and went on to have a treaty with the Galts Gulch, and a protectorate with the Circle of Furs. After tensions with the Helghast Empire increased in early March, Rose saw itself at war once again with Helghans on 10 March 2013. Peace was declared on 15 March when terms were met by both parties.
War visited Rose once again 29th July 2013 in the shape of a new alliance called Reavers . This war is currently being contested and will be updated here upon it's conclusion.

The admissions process for Rose is to be decided by the Minister of Internal Affairs, and he may waive or adjust sections of it as he sees fit for certain applicants; the only requirement is that there must be a process. The Emperor may veto any admissions decision. 
Every member of Rose has the inalienable right to vote in elections and referenda. A member also has the right to question Ministers and other persons of Government at their discretion.

Unless otherwise stated in this Charter, the Emperor may veto any decision or policy enacted by any person within the alliance.

These elections cannot be stopped by the Emperor or any other person in the alliance. The election shall consist of a 72-hour Campaign and Debate period, followed by a 72-hour poll. The candidate with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, then a run-off shall be held between the tied candidates.

Article IV: Impeachment and Inactivity
The Emperor and the Ministers may all be impeached by the general membership. In order to begin this process, a member must start a thread calling for the Impeachment of an individual. A Call of Impeachment may not be against more than one person. Following its creation, this Call has 72 hours to gain the open and voiced support of four (4) other non-government members.

If 60% of cast votes are in favor, then the accused is impeached and removed from office. The accused continues to hold office for the duration of the impeachment process.
The Emperor administers the cross-examination and public vote if a Minister is being impeached. If the Emperor is being impeached, then the Ministers decide amongst themselves who administers the process.
The Emperor and the Minister of the Interior may remove inactive members from the alliance at will, according to a definition of inactivity decided between them. Members removed in this way must re-apply in order to rejoin the alliance. If an Emperor becomes inactive for more then seven (7) days without forewarning, then he is considered to have resigned and an election is held as per Article II. 
Article V: Amendments
Any member of Rose may present an amendment for consideration. Once proposed, an amendment must be openly debated for at least 72 hours.

When appropriate, the amendment will then be subject to a 72-hour referendum open to the entire membership, with a majority of votes in favor required for the amendment to proceed. The Emperor’s assent is then required for the amendment to pass.
