The High Court of the Pacific [/color][/size] The High Judge of the Pacific is responsible for determining the guilt of nations charged with breaking the statutes contained in the Civil Code. The High Court of the Pacific keeps a file of every nation charged with the breaking of the Civil Code of the Pacific and presents the High Judge with the evidence necessary for him to render his verdict. When found guilty, the execution of the sentence is carried out as swiftly as possible. If you wish to appeal the judgement made on your nation, post on this thread so that the High Court can review the case. Please keep in mind, there are always several cases pending, be patient. Civil Code for Uniform Justice and Order in the Pacific:The offenses listed below are punishable by banishment to the realms outlying the vast region of the Pacific:--Civil Disobediance 1001: A declaration of dislike for the Delegate of the Pacific or his policies with intent to subvert the Government. 1002: Insulting or spreading calumny about a member of the Government in public or in telegram. 1003: Frequent posts of an inappropriate subject. 1004: Excessively poor grammar. 1005: Harassment of a fellow Pacifican either in public or by telegram. 1006: Giving your endorsement to a nation with whom you are not familiar personally. (Obviously, all Pacific nations are familiar with the nations that govern them) 1007: Unauthorized use of another nation's flag or other details as your own. 1008: Objectionable nation name, flag, or motto. --Political Accountability 2001: Expression of dislike for the policies of the Pacific Government or those Governments allied with or declared friendly by the Pacific Government. 2002: Expression of views considered counter to those of the Pacific Government. 2003: I told you before, I don't like Spam! 2004: Resigning from the UN without obtaining authorization from the proper Government ministry. 2005: Failure to become aligned with the Delegate. --Treason 0001: Seeking more than 40 endorsements. 0002: Being a puppet of a banned nation. 0003: Assisting those seeking more than 40 endorsements. 0004: Belonging to a subversive organization.

The Holy Empire of St-Sikander is honored to do an appel against its banishment for the following reason :
1) It has never been warned about violation of any law, in this case the Civil Code for Uniform Justice and Order ;
2) The only telegram it receveid AFTER it was banned was the following :
"The Pacific Folk Hero of Francos Spain Received: 4 days ago
I'm afraid you were in violation of the Civil Code for Uniform Justice and Order. The action taken was regrettable, but warrenting occurance. If you wish to appeal your status, you may do so on the High Court board of the NPO forum."
As Your Honors can constat, it's not precised which violation occurs. In conclusion, there were no warning BEFORE the bannishment and no precised reason AFTER the bannishment of our glorious nation from the Pacific. This decision was in these conditions totally illegal and we, as the Government of St-Sikander, wish to be reintergrated into the Pacific nations.

I have ruled that you are indeed guilty of the crime as charged and the punishment given stands. This is the final word on the subject, the High Judge of the Pacific has spoken.

A combination of 0003 and 2005. He was endorsing a hostile invader while not endorsing the Delegate, and thus, was treated as a collaborator.

If you wish to cry about the judgements of the High Court, do it on another thread.

I propose not a revolution in government but a reform in some laws
0003: Assisting those seeking more than 15 endorsements.
is not necessary unless that person is trying to overthrow Franco.
2002: Expression of views considered counter to those of the Pacific Government.
That should be a violation of Civil rights.
2001: Expression of dislike for the policies of the Pacific Government or those Governments allied with or declared friendly by the Pacific Government.
Same thing violation of Civil rights. Frankly I like Franco, he supports a proposal of mine that is up for vote in the UN. Some of the laws here violate what should be protected. If by posting my opinion I am in some way in violation of these laws than so be it.

1001: A declaration of dislike for the Delegate of the Pacific or his policies WITH intent to subvert the Government.
Ukroatia, you are allowed to question the practices and laws of the NPO, so long as your intent is not to subvert the government. We here have a passionate, open dialouge about the governance of our region, and we thank you for joining in.
With respect to the treason statutes (series 0), they were written when the Pacific was under constant attack from foriegn powers, and it was used as a legal means to eject invaders. This is selectively enforsed, since some senators exceed the 15 endorsement limit. It was also put into place to counter the endorsement swapping. Perhaps these treason statutes could be changed to reflect we are anti-endorsement swapping and anti-subversive, but it takes an act of the senate, not an act of a governor.
With repect to the political acountability statutes (series 2), these are also selectively enforsed on nation who are particularly annoying in their slanderous banter against the NPO. I apreciate your attempt to make our laws more absolute, and these could also be changed so that people are not afraid to enter into a free, open, and respectible dialouge.

While I was looking at the civil code, I did notice 2004: Resigning from the UN without obtaining authorization from the proper Government ministry. The current ministry does not exist. Perhaps one of the senators could be made “Liaison to the United Nations,” and would be in charge of the decommissioning of UN nation status, maintaining the UN threads, and ensuring that Civil Code 2005: Failure to become aligned with the Delegate, is enforced.

In my own opinion, I think laws should be clear and concise and leave no room to interpretation. It also seems that we do need a law reform. If Franco sees this, know that I propose a law reform.
