Spring Dominion National Commerce Coalition

*Not to be confused with the area it finances, **the Spring Dominion***

***The Spring Dominion National Commerce Coalition*** *(or **the SDNCC**)* is the regional treasury, and the regional financial government overseeing ***the Spring Dominion***. Whilst towns will have their own mayoral governments, the regional currency always comes from ***the SDNCC***, along with how the funds are distributed. ***The SDNCC Capital Building*** is located in the town of ***Pernrith***, next to the town hall.

## ***Government***

### ***Structure***

#### ***Representatives***

Within ***the SDNCC*** meets 28 *representatives,* all from each 14 established towns within ***the Spring Dominion***, who's mayors support ***the SDNCC.***

* 3 from ***Aethelney***
* 1 from ***Applefolk***
* 1 from ***Bourncourt***
* 1 from ***Bracklewhyte***
* 1 from ***Exeter***
* 3 from ***Myth***
* 2 from ***Pernrith***
* 2 from ***Pinewood***
* 3 from ***Silver Willow***
* 3 from ***Springfall***
* 3 from ***Springwood***
* 1 from ***Swinford***
* 1 from ***Thicket***
* 3 from ***the Capitals*** (***Hazelnut Woods***, ***Lightwood***, and ***Timberland***, all are run by the same mayor, so 3 *representatives*, one for each city).

These *representatives* are elected to the position of *"Financial Diplomatic Representative"* by a mayor, and help ***the SDNCC*** with their issues, to allow for financial gain for the city for a bit. A new *representative* is elected every 10 years. Once a week a meeting is held over issues in the region. Multiple *representatives* can be in line for the election within their cities, so elections for them become big deals in their cities.

#### ***Chairman***

##### ***Chairman Voting Processes***

A *representative* who has ended their 10th term, usually either retires from ***the SDNCC***, attempts a re-election to stay as *representative* of their town, or attempts to run for *Chairman*. The *Chairman* voting process takes votes from each district the *representatives*' towns are in, once for a week, for four weeks. During these four weeks two meetings take place, one on the second day of the week for issues, and one on the second to last for voting purposes.

* First week takes ***the Deep Woods District*** *representatives*' votes
* Second week takes ***the Light Woods District*** *representatives*' votes
* Third week takes ***the first Plains District*** *representatives*' votes
* Fourth week takes ***the second Plains District*** *representatives*' votes

After the four weeks, a fifth week passes by (with the two meeting standard), with a day for ballot counting. After the fifth week, a second meeting occurs for the last time, for a sixth week, where after the traditional issues meeting earlier in the week, the second meeting shows who won the ballot.

##### ***Chairman Voting Issues***

* If the ballot is a tie, the ballot is run through again for another four weeks, with the current *Chairman* being able to vote as a 29th vote. If there is no *Chairman* at all during a tie breaker, then a random town's mayor (not associated with the canditate at all) will have the 29th vote.
* If a *Chairman* dies, or resigns, than a vote is mandatory to replace the deceased Chairman. If no canditate presents themselves to vote, than a vote to make the oldest *representative* forcibly become elected to *Chairman* comes into place. If that vote fails, a random *representative* (within ***the SDNCC***) is picked, and is elected.
* If both *Chairmen* spots are empty, an *Elder Representative* starts the voting process.

##### ***Chairman's Abilities***

* A *Chairman* has the ability to ratify a vote passed by the *representative* majority. A *Chairman* can also veto it, both requiring both *Chairmen* to vote yes to go through. If one *Chairman* wants to veto, and another wants to ratify a bill, then a vote to all *representatives* is required to see whether it is passed or vetoed. If passed, it has to go through, if vetoed, it doesn't. A second tie breaker results in the bill being pushed to be ratified or vetoed in a month from when it was suggested. This can happen for as long as needed, until a decision is made.
* The *Chairmen* officially start a meeting, and officially end one. A *Chairman* also officially starts the voting process for another *Chairman*, and also officially ends it.

#### ***Elder Representatives***

A *representative* who was successfully re-elected for an 11th term by their town will usually serve out their other nine terms. After their 20th term, they can try for re-election for another 10 terms, retire from ***the SDNCC***, attempt to run for *Chairman*, or become an *Elder Representative*. After their 40th term as a *representative,* they cannot attempt re-election. *Elder Representatives* aid the *Chairmen* by suggesting ideas of past chairmen, and their ideas. They also suggest bills to be ratified or vetoed at the next meeting. They also work with upkeep on ***the SDNCC Capital Building***, where all representatives meet.
