District 11 Act (Full)

**The District 11 Act full text. The following is the full terms of agreement between two parties, the New Crunk City Royal Parliament (The initiating party), and the so-called Gondolier's Guild (The accepting party.) For the history and most relevant terms of the act itself, please read The District 11 Act.**

We, the New Crunk City Royal Parliament, propose an agreement to the organization presently known as the "Gondolier's Guild" (formerly known as "the guild"), to cede power and authority over New Crunk City District 11 with following stipulations.

The services that the Gondolier's Guild have performed both historically and at present have been integral to the continued maintenance and safety of District 11. It has become a financial, administrative, and logistical challenge for the rest of the city to perform many of the duties that can instead be best performed by the organization most equipped to handle them. As you know, District 11 was never a true district in that it had no appointed overseer nor an official board of enforcement. This has lead to an administrative nightmare, since despite District 11 having some form of contact with almost all other districts, no one district has responsibility to it's maintenance or oversight.

We believe that the Gondolier's Guild would be best suited to this role, to assume power and influence over it's boundaries. Because of the burden the district places upon the rest of the city, the district would become in all official capacities sovereign and not under the direct power of any New Crunk City governing body, Should these terms be deemed fair and accepted, arrangements would be made to begin all necessary disconnections as soon as possible.

These are the terms of this agreement.

## Agreement

In exchange of the succession of District 11, the properties therein, the population therein, and the governance therein, with some exception, to the so-called 'Gondolier's Guild', in appreciation of the services performed historically and presently, no official branch of any New Crunk City body will hold any responsibilities to the District. In understanding of the location in relation to the greater city that District 11 resides, and appreciation of the services it will perform in agreement to this act, New Crunk City will provide assistance to the District in, and only in, cases in which not doing so would actively harm the greater city, or (at the discretion of the city), in events caused by any official New Crunk City body that has created harm to the District that cannot be managed properly or in a timely enough manner by the Gondolier's Guild. The latter assistance will not exceed any aid costing above 1,000,000 Kranks. If said aid is decided to not be provided, New Crunk City will not be responsible for any damages caused by that inaction.

New Crunk City will maintain ownership and responsibilities of maintaining any existing or future water processing or treatment facilities, and the grounds on which they are built on and and property required by them to perform their jobs.

New Crunk City reserves the right to, with formal agreement with The Gondolier's Guild or an appointed body of said guild, build water processing or treating plants within the confines of District 11, as well as any potential expansion to the confines of the district. Any future construction projects proposed or offered by New Crunk City will be funded by the city itself, and using only labor of residents of District 11 so as to help stimulate local economy. If New Crunk City wishes to build any other types of facilities within the confines of District 11, such as testing facilities or prisons, it will require express permission from The Gondolier's Guild to do so. If the guild agrees, New Crunk City will provide all required funds for the constructions of said facilities. If New Crunk City is to expand upon the boundaries of District 11, it will agree to sell any new territory to The Gondolier's Guild for a price that The Gondolier's Guild can afford.

New Crunk City will on a monthly basis send a representative to communicate with The Gondolier's Guild for the duration of one week. Accommodations must be provided for this representative. Accommodations must include room and board, and be of a quality expected for any other official New Crunk City representative or ambassador. The duty of this representative is to report on all aspects of District 11 that could potentially have an impact on the greater city. When visiting District 11, this representative will effectively be an extension of New Crunk City, so treatment of them is to require utmost respect.

## Governmental Terms

If this act is agreed upon, The Gondolier's Guild, or a body appointed by said guild, will have to agree to certain governmental terms:

1. Though not required to enforce punishments for crimes committed in the greater city, The Gondolier's Guild will have to abide an extradition agreement.
2. Though not required to have the same laws as the greater city, any laws that do equate to such cannot supersede in punishment that of the equivalent laws in the greater city, though they may exceed in punishment.
	* 2a. : The matter of garloids are of serious concern to the city. The Gondolier's Guild is free to regulate garloids and garloid derived products how they see fit, however if the Gondolier's Guild does not match the stance New Crunk City has taken on garloids in any manner other than increased punishment or stricter regulation, any and all exports or imports of garloids or garloid derived products between District 11 and New Crunk City will be strictly forbidden unless expressly allowed for the research purposes of New Crunk City University or for transit to the Cliffs Sector of District 12.
	* 2b. : The Gondolier's Guild is free to enforce it's rules and regulations as it sees fit, so long as standards of care for prisoners, detainees, and the accused are no less than that of New Crunk City. Note that this does not apply to any punishments for crimes once deemed guilty.
3. The Gondolier's Guild will not be allowed to make any official arrangements with any foreign governmental body. Breach of this term is considered treason of District 11 and will result in execution of all members involved - without trial. If any foreign governmental body attempts to or successfully makes contact with the Gondolier's Guild, it must be reported immediately to New Crunk City. Failure to do so will result in severe punishment of all members involved after a trial is performed. If any foreign governmental body attempts or succeeds to gain control of any part of District 11, Regulatory/Defensive Terms Rule 1, Section B, Subsection 2 must be followed. Failure to do so is considered treason of District 11 and will result in execution of all involved.

## Regulatory/Defensive Terms

If this act is agreed upon, The Gondolier's Guild, or a body appointed by said guild, will have to agree to certain regulatory/defensive terms:

1. The Gondolier's Guild must maintain a safe presence within District 11. This includes both health and defensive obligations
	* 1a. : The Gondolier's Guild should maintain a somewhat healthy standard of living within it's confines. Failure to do so will not be punished, though communication with the appointed representative may allow for some aid to be sent to the district to help in this endeavor.
	* 1b. : The Gondolier's Guild must act in the defense of the District itself. It will be allowed the authority to maintain an army or other defensive force to protect it's residents and the greater city itself from various sewer beasts, critters, or monsters. If the guild is not able to fight against a threat well enough, small detachments of New Crunk City army will be offered for rent to help in the process.
		+ 1b1: Any Army or defensive force created by the Gondolier's Guild will be required to aid in the defense of the greater city, if ever a need would arise. To ensure that any such defensive body will be sufficient, New Crunk City will lend 50,000 Kranks each month to cover costs of training and equipment.
		+ 1b2: If any foreign governmental body attempts or succeeds in gaining control of any part of District 11, war preparations are to be enacted and immediate contact with New Crunk City must be established. In such an event, The Gondolier's Guild may be required to temporarily cede all command of any standing army to the leadership of New Crunk City.
	* 1c. : The Gondolier's Guild will be required to ensure that pollution of the waterways is kept to a minimum, and do routine tests on inhabitants, flora, and fauna to make sure contamination is kept to a minimum.

If at any given moment District 11 does not have a confirmed source of electricity, The Gondolier's Guild will automatically be charged for the cost of access to electricity from New Crunk City. This is to ensure no citizen goes without access to electricity.
