Homeowners' Association

The Homeowners' Association is an international assembly of nations, functioning somewhat like a UN-analogue within the server. The HOA holds territory, known as International Zones, which are jointly-controlled by every HOA member state. The HOA also recognizes sites within nations that are important to the server's history, known as World Heritage Sites.
== Beginnings ==
The Homeowners' Association was founded by the Grand Principality of Vancouver on SD15 (April 30th). At the time, it was named the Global Prosperity Assembly, which would be changed to the modern name about one month later. The establishing charter was soon voted with four main points, shown as follows:1. There will never be a higher body within the GPA than the general assembly
2. Each nation will receive one vote
3. Every international law will be passed with a majority (more than 50%) vote
4. No one will have veto or tie breaking privilegesThough most of these were later rendered null due to further resolutions passed (such as the All-Encompassing Voting Act and the resolution regarding Multi-Member nation voting), these guidelines paved the way for the early days of the Homeowners' Association. 
== Modern Age ==
On SD40 (May 25th), a vote establishing a new position within the HOA, the General Secretary, was put forth. This vote soon passed (16 for, 0 against, 2 abstain). According to this vote, the General Secretary was to be elected each month on the 3rd (later changed to the 5th). Notably, this position, which only held administrator permissions within the HOA discord server, and not the actual Minecraft server, was not to be regarded above the general members of the HOA, instead being viewed as a "First-among-equals".

Minermao (at that point the leader of Taiwan) was elected the first General Secretary.
For the SD81 Election, a major change was made. This was the establishment of the position of the Vice-General Secretary, who would take up the roles of the General Secretary if required due to any inability for the General Secretary to perform them.
