THE UNIVERSAL TRIUMVIRATE ECONOMICS AND FINANCIAL CERTIFICATION POLICY
 **4.14.13 | 6.9.13**
Andrew Hester, Minor Executive, Head of the Treasury, Senior Executive

**A Law** to provide all individuals an internationally recognized certification service recognizing their expertise in economics.

**Section 1: Entitlement**

The Universal Triumvirate shall be able to grant an international title of certification of “Triumvirate Economically Certified” to those who have proven themselves a scholar of both Triumvirate Economics and General Economics.
Such a certification maybe granted to anyone both within and outside of the Triumvirate and shall never be denied unless by a two-thirds vote of the Executive Branch and in which a valid and logical reason without bias is invoked.
**Section 2: Possession**

Possession of the economics certificate, and honors, shall not declare anyone outside of the Triumvirate a member nor in Triumvirate jurisdiction or in Triumvirate jurisdiction while such certificate is held unless they otherwise wish so or are already a citizen. However, all shall have to comply solely with this law while they hold the certification and they will be under Triumvirate law while in Triumvirate jurisdiction.
Those in possession of honors are not in any shape or form declared any better than those of the standard certification, and are not entitled to more privileges than those of the standard certification.
**Section 3: Awarding**

This certificate shall be granted once an individual has completed a series of economic tests of which their content is to be decided solely by the Triumvirate Executive Branch and may be changed by the Executive Branch when they deem it necessary.
An 85% average score shall be required between as many tests required at the time. Certifications may only be revoked if two-thirds of the Executive Branch vote to do so provided sufficient reason to do so without bias is presented.
Those who average a score of 100% on all but the written portion(s) of the tests shall be granted certification with Honors. Honor certifications may only be revoked if two-thirds of the Executive Branch vote to do so provided sufficient reason to do so without bias is presented.
**Section 4: Test Givers**

The tests shall be administered by the acting Head of Education, acting Head of the Treasury and acting Head of Commerce and Industry by this law. The Triumvirate Executive Branch may appoint additional persons to administer the tests as they deem fit.
**Section 5: Recertification**

Recertification must take place every year in order to ensure active participation and knowledge of economic systems and how they work. To recertify it shall be required that the tests be taken again in their most current state and by the same method. If recertification does not occur within one year the certification and recognition shall be void until such a time one takes the tests and is certified again. Recertification and original certification shall each grant one year of continued recognition until which recertification shall be required once more.
**Section 6: Re/Testing**

The testing or recertification testing cannot be done unreasonably or in a less than legitimate fashion and may not be biased to prevent one individual or group from achieving such. The testing and recertification process must be done within seven days and the individual seeking certification may not extend it farther than that or surpass that limit. If the individual seeking certification or recertification does extend past seven days they will have to restart the process. Should an individual has had to restart the process but passes the second deadline they shall be required to restart the process once more and upon which if they go passed the third deadline they shall not be eligible to take a fourth attempt until no less than one month of time has passed since the last missed deadline. If an individual fails the testing or recertification (by failing to achieve 85% on average between the tests) they shall not be able to retake the test or gain recertification until three weeks have passed.
**Section 7: False possession**

No individual, even those not within the Triumvirate but under partial jurisdiction only because of the holding or claiming of this certification, may pretend to hold certification while it is void or not currently possessed. Doing so in a clear manner of fabricating such shall be considered a Class II Misdemeanor.
**Section 8: Privileges of possessing this certification**

Privileges of those with current certification shall consist of primarily full access to economic documents, lists of economic resources and economic consult the Triumvirate has to offer providing they do not contain or lead to entanglement in confidential or otherwise threatening information. Other privileges shall include international recognition as applied and respect through the law.
**Section 9: Treasury Workers**

All manger and persons up within the Department of the Treasury must be under this certification and remain under it for the time they are in such position. The Head of the Treasury and the Deputy must have certification at the time they enter office and are elected but if they lose such certification they cannot be removed from office just due to that. Other Executive positions besides the Head of the Treasury do not have to take this test to qualify for an Executive position unless the Executive Branch wishes to distribute it to them solely for application purposes and use the text of the test rather than the property of it. Thus, this shall not grant certification and shall not require recertification as they do not possess certification. However, an Executive may take the test on their own under all applicable laws.
**Section 10: Real world Economics**

Any person who has adequately demonstrated they understand the first section of the test pertaining to Real World Economics may be exempted from taking that section of the test again for recertification at the discretion of the Executive Branch, Head of Education, Head of the Treasury or the Head of Commerce and Industry.
**Section 11: Recognition**

The Triumvirate Government assures full recognition of such a certificate. Other forces, groups, or individuals outside the Triumvirate may also recognize Triumvirate Economic Certification for their own practices or purposes without them creating a legal entanglement with the Triumvirate or without falling subject to the Triumvirate within their domain. The certification shall ensure the knowledge of law not solely within the Triumvirate but in international dealings and common law so that international factions shall have purpose for the recognition of such title. The Executive Branch shall have the ultimate decision of the certifications application within the Triumvirate as it sees fit according to this law and those superior and equal to it. The Executive Branch shall also decide how the Triumvirate wishes to negotiate the certification agreement out with allies as they see fit.
**Section 12: Answers**

Test givers may not at any time inform the tester of the correct answers to any unwritten question, answered or not, test givers may only inform the tester of their score and nothing more of the test(s) taken.
**Section 13: New Test Versions**

Upon the passing of this law, the Heads of; Education, the Treasury and Commerce and Industry shall have till the first of September of the year 2013 to each write a version of the economic certificate test, all but one may work on two versions with the third version being unable to help with the third version. This third version is to be reserved for the one who did not write it.
New test versions must be written every other trimester following the same conduct as the previous versions.
Each Head who wrote two of the three versions may use those particular versions they helped create.
**Section 13.1: Lack of a Head**

Should there not be a Head of Education or a Head of Commerce and Industry or a Head of the Treasury, the Executive Branch may appoint new persons who have extensive economic understanding and expertise to write new versions at their discretion.
Regardless of the condition there shall need to be three versions in use.
