Vlad 251 Posted October 5, 2022 Ninja, This is the new Ninja World government structure for each village, as well as rules, regulations, and customs they must follow. ALL Village leaders are representatives of the game, and must act with that in mind. Recently, we have failed to establish proper rules and procedures for these positions, and so effective immediately these are in place. If the Village Leaders choose to act in a way which would hinder Shinobi Story's growth, I reserve full ability to remove and sanction that player(s). <The Hidden X Village> Organization organization will be given to the new Village Leaders, and ONLY official members of the government listed in this post will be permitted to join, acting as a form of official verification so players know if they are interacting with a real village leader. This is to give the chance for many different types of organizations to form in their respective villages, and be able to have your squad name or personal organization be your Org Name. Village Leader: Hokage The Hokage is the village head of the Leaf Village, and is aided by 5 Councilmembers. He or she has the ability to approve or veto laws set by the Leaf Council, and acts as the figurehead for the village in times of peace and times of war. The Hokage cannot pass laws independently from the Leaf Council, and the Council must have the Hokage's approval for any new laws. Each of the Hokage's terms is 6 months, and each is limited to 3 terms maximum (18 months) which may only be served consecutively to avoid confusion/weird lore. The Hokage can be impeached, but not in the first 30 days of holding office. * As the highest ranking member of the Village's army, the Hokage may declare war without the approval of the Leaf Council The Hokage will retain the exclusive and sole power to: Assign and dismiss ANBU members, and assign or dismiss Jonin Team Captains as he or she sees fit. The Hokage is able to appoint the following positions: Hokage's Assistant, Leaf Police Captain, Chief Medical Ninja, Academy Headmaster Legislative: The Leaf Council The Leaf Council's term runs parallel to the Hokage's, meaning that each Councilmember has a term of 6 months (excluding upcoming election, which will serve out the remaining term of the 2nd Hokage's first term.) They Council has the authority to elect the Hokage, alongside the Feudal Lord's Ministers. The Leaf Council cannot be impeached, unless directly dismissed from office by the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire. Every 6 months (except for upcoming election) a new direct-vote will be held in the Leaf Village town square, and all citizens who are: able to enter the village, and have at least Chuunin Rank are entitled to 1 vote. Any roleplay status is null for the duration of the election. If the player is able to enter the guarded voting station, and is at least of the Chuunin rank, then they are entitled to 1 vote, regardless of any assigned roleplay status. The citizens will directly vote for each councilmember running for office at a designated time. The top 5 voted candidates will be elected into office, and subsequently join 5 of the Feudal Lord's Ministers to form a 10-member electing committee, which will decide who the next Hokage will be. If a Hokage is elected from the pool of 5 Councilmembers, then the vacancy will be filled by whoever gathered the 6th largest amount of votes. The Leaf Council has the authority to impeach the Hokage by calling a referendum popular vote of no-confidence, but only with the permission of the Feudal Lord. Village Leader: Supreme Leader The Rain Village is ruled with an iron fist by the Supreme Leader, and the Black Cloud paramilitary intelligence agency. The Supreme Leader position is held for a period of 6 months each term. The position is voted on with a direct-vote election by all Chuunin or higher Rain Ninja, who are able to enter a heavily protected area to cast a vote. The Supreme Leader is is limited to 3 terms maximum (18 months) and must be served consecutively. The Supreme Leader has the authority to appoint the Lord of the Black Cloud, which acts as an internal secret police organization to enforce his or her will. The Supreme Leader cannot be impeached, unless defeated in a Civil War* The Supreme Leader is able to appoint and dismiss Village ANBU Legislative: The Rain Council The Rain Council's term runs parallel to the Supreme Leader's, meaning that each Councilmember has a term of 6 months. They have the direct authority to oversee the training and conscription of new recruits or refugees. The Rain Council is the only organization able to pass laws, but all laws must be sanctioned by the Supreme Leader. The Rain Council is unable to govern or hold any authority over the Black Cloud internal police.
