Did you know CN is a True Democracy
January 27, 2025
True Democracy: Our unique democratic system empowers the people. Every law, representative, and leader is chosen by the community through direct voting. Leaders and council members cannot make laws; only the people have that power.
This means you will get to vote for your chief, and three different councils, as well as suggest and vote for laws. You have the Main General Council that represents different industries. you vote for the person who you think would represent that industry the best. You have eight council members on each council. Then you have the chief that represents the people. the three are: the General Council, Legal Council, and Faith / Spiritual Council.
This is taken from the Canund Nation Constitution
- Governing Structure
- The Grand Council holds hereditary positions to help safeguard the People and watch over the elected councils.
- Grand Council can have one Grand Dene Clan Mother, one Chief and up to 30 Council Members from across the land.
- Grand Council Power is as follows.
- They have the right to diplomacy and to keep the peace among all world nations.
- It is the duty of the Grand Council to call a new election if there is proof of corruption or incapacity in a Community Council if the Peoples are not getting their basic human needs met.
- The Grand Council has the right to oversee and be in charge of war, if no other options are available and we must fight. War Definition will be in 7.
- No Council has the right to declare War unless they have the Vote of the People.
- There are Territory, Regional, and Community Councils which are elected for a 5-year term in the new decade or mid-decade. For example, 2025 or 2030. An elected Councilor cannot sit for more than one term at a time. They must take a break for one term from the specific council they represent. This does not prevent them from moving up or taking on another council position.
- The Grand Council has the right to temporarily form a Council and put leaders in place to run a Council until the next election. These Leaders will have the option to run for Council if they were so appointed, and if the Grand Council approves their candidacy.
- Territorial Councils and Regional Councils sole job is to make sure resources are shared among the communities. They are also to train Knights to protect our nation along with our borders. Our security is essential for us to move forward as a people.
- Community Councils General Council, Legal Counsel, Spiritual Council, Career counselors, and Recreational Council.
- The General Council is elected from managers or managers in training in the different Industries they represent. No one can represent an industry they know nothing about. They cannot make laws for the Community. The Community only makes sure the basic needs of everyone are met.
- Legal Counsel is only elected when needed for the first time to handle and oversee an individual or individuals who have been charged with a crime. When formed, any citizen of the Community shall have the chance to make a suggestion to the Legal Counsel or General Council for new laws to be voted on. If the councils agree they will take it to the Peoples for a vote. The vote must be over 80% “yes” to pass.
- Spiritual Council: The job is simply to provide the Peoples with a House of Worship and access to material for learning. No citizen has the right to impose their beliefs on others but can teach if asked. Each citizen has the right to choose without pressure if they want to or do not want to find the Creator.
- Career Counselors: Again, their job is to make sure everyone has work in the Community and shares the workload.
- Recreational Council is optional. Their job is to plan all events for the community they are in.
- All Councils must consist of 8 people.
- Being a Counselor is not a full-time position. Members must have other occupations but can take time off from their daily jobs to attend Council Meetings. This keeps them rooted to the community they serve. Exceptions to this rule are the Career and Recreational Councilors.
