Due to the sheer inefficiency of the original constitution of the Union after refoundation, a new constitution was proposed called the Novus Carta. Rewritten entirely, the document was made to abolish direct democracy and focus further on representative democracy. The greatest changes made from the original constitution were that representatives are now the only ones who can vote on proposals as opposed to the entire Union, and that clans can now have up to three representatives if they'd like.
The Novus Carta also established clear definitions of executive ministries as well as a strict activity quota for clans. This requires clans to attend monthly summits or leave an excuse as to why they cannot come prior to the summit or their clan will be removed for inactivity. Additionally, the Independent States Allied Forces were also officially established as a Union defense coalition.
While perhaps obsolete, many amendments of the United States of America's constitution were included to grant members rights to freedom of speech, as well as other rights. These have been modified for relevance.
The Novus Carta was ratified into effect by the following,
- M88youngling - President
- Lgmpm - Union Vice President / New California Republic President
- GreenWolff - Leader of the Atlas Special Agency
- Toxic-Rage-2001 - Chancellor of New Germany
- Glass-_-Crane - Leader of the Master Creators Society
- MidnightLights1 - Mandalore of the True Mandalorian Empire
- JediJosho - Grandmaster of Organization XIII
The document was fully ratified and put into effect on April 20th, 2015. The Novus Carta is no longer accessible and is currently in the possession of M88youngling who restricted its viewing permissions.
