The Shared Articles of Communism Interstellar
- All comrades of CI are equal.
- All Communist factions and Associates are equal.
- Any changes to these Articles of Association must be made by a unanimous vote of available members and will not be added to the Articles of Association for a period of 28 days, to allow fair opportunity for dissent.
- Individual comrades are free to choose their own course of action, however, any actions undertaken outside those defined within these articles cannot be undertaken in the name of CI.
- Each party associated with CI is autonomous and takes full responsibility for the day to day governance of all systems under their control and their internal governance.
- CI adopts all existing treaties and agreements, signed individually by Associates, in both word and spirit.
- We will treat other groups with respect. In the event of a disagreement between our groups, we will first of all seek to resolve these differences by diplomatic methods, using independent arbitration if required. We will not intentionally carry out negative actions against the factions of other active player groups unless a state of war has been formally declared.
- Unless there is formal alliance, agreement, or bilateral peace treaty in place, CI claim any system where GoH, NU, PDU, CIU, EK, IPV, CPoD, ICUCC, EU, OWC or WMLU have first control. Similarly, we respect the rights of any incumbent player-supported faction, where it can be shown that they had a prior claim. CI makes no distinction between player-inserted minor factions, and player-adopted minor factions.
- CI will not knowingly further revolutions that adversely affect the existing fortification triggers of surrounding powers.
- CI adopts a non-aggressive stance towards aliens. However, we will fight to the last comrade if any of our homeworlds are threatened.
Associate-Specific Articles
CIU
The CIU reserves the right to remove any non-communist governments within the Greater Manite Volume (GMV) defined as 61LY from Manite, unless exempted by a formal alliance, agreement, or a bilaterally signed peace treaty. Should our GMV factions expand beyond the limits of the GMV, we will not further revolutions in systems with an active player-supported minor faction already in control.
