Officers: Votes:
Each individual person that holds office (from here on referred to as “the officer(s)”) shall have but one vote. Therefore 1 person, even if he/she holds multiple offices, shall have only one vote.
Length of Terms of Service:
Officers of the Shire shall serve for a period of at least 3 years. An officer may serve for longer than the required term of service if they wish. As of this time, there is no maximum amount of time that an officer may hold an office.
Change of Officers:
If an officer cannot complete his/her term of service, or they wish to step down after fulfilling his/her term of service, they may choose a successor to replace them. This newly named successor shall then hold the designated office after filling the correct paperwork with the correct officers of The Middle Kingdom. If the departing officer does not name a successor, the remaining officers still in office shall furnish a list of candidates. The current officers of the Shire shall then vote upon this list, and a 3/4 majority will be required to place an officer. The new officer then shall be held to a term of service from that date. However, if the populace and current officers agree that an officer is not upholding the quality and responsibility of his/her office, he/she may be removed by a 3/4 majority vote of the current remaining officers. At that time, the remaining officers shall follow the same procedure as above for an officer leaving with no named successor to replace the newly removed officer.
Shire Assets:
The Shire’s assets shall be maintained, managed, and administered by the current Shire officers. The current officers shall vote upon any use of Shire assets, such as money, time, equipment, or any other assets named or unnamed in this document. The body of current Shire officers ONLY, can approve use of any of the Shire’s assets. The general populace shall not dictate the use of any Shire assets to the current body of Shire officers. Any discrepancies shall be voted upon by the current body of officers with a 3/4 majority needed for approval/disapproval of use.
