Problems and Solutions in the SCUT Treaty/Constitution

page=dispatch/id=765327- this is supposed to be a legally binding constitution for SCUT. Let's see how, if in any way, that is.

Summary:
-Regions in SCUT are called territories. Regions with 'more influence' are called territories in two respects, whereas regions with 'less influence' are called colonies, and are both territories and not territories in the sense that the former are.
(Objection one: first, we need a more measurable definition of the distinction than just 'more/less influence.' Second, we need to have two different words for the two meanings of the 'territory,' to prevent confusion.)

-Territories choose representatives for the Grand Council.
(Rule not being obeyed one: in practice the representatives don't have much power as a whole, but rather the success of their proposals depends on whether Morriband likes their ideas.)

-Regions choose region-wide currencies.
(Rule not being followed two: this is just not enforced.)

-The states in observer regions have to reside in Culculare.
(Rule not being followed three: Culculare does not even exist anymore.)

-Non-aggression treaty between SCUT territories, they operate separately, and may pursue their own interests if they don't contradict SCUT's.

The bill or rights summary:
-Freedom of speech and conscience, unless it's 'an attempt at treason.'
(Comment: treason needs to be defined.)

-Right to protection from legal action without a mandate from the territory and the GC. The person requesting the mandate can't run the body they want a mandate from.

-Territories and states have the right to create 'defence forces,' and regulate them as they see fit.
(Loophole 1: the Orwellian language could be used to circumvent the law by saying that the territories forces are not for defence.)
(Comment: it needs to be clarified that territories can't violate any of these other rights in their regulation of their armies.)

-Territories can regulate trade and economics as they see fit, and do it as much or as little as they like. The GC can regulate interregional trade as much as it likes.

-Territories and states can have democratic procedures.
(Inconsistency: do states that aren't prominent or above have the right to run for office in the GC?)
