in July 1st, 2008 @ 16:26It’s… um… a place.
Here is the Constitution:
Article I.
Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a House of Commons, which shall consist of all citizens of Museica, excepting those who hold other public office.
Section 2. Any sentient being who has posted on at least one thread relating to Museica, read at least one thread of the Chronicles of Museica, and who has been in residence upon the Blog for at least thirty days, shall be considered a citizen of Museica, and thus eligible to sit in the House of Commons.
Section 3. The House of Commons, once established, shall select from among its members a Head of the Commons, who shall have the responsibility of overseeing the voting carried out by the House. No citizen may serve as the Head for a duration longer than six months.
Section 4. Any member of the House of Commons may propose a new legislation at any point in time. If the proposal receives a second, it shall be put to the full House. The duration of the voting time shall not exceed a week. At the end of the week, the Head of the Commons shall count the votes and act according to the general consensus. If the ayes/w00ts exceed the nays/mehs, the bill shall be made law: if vice versa, the bill shall be removed from consideration.
Section 5. The House of Commons shall hear any and all citizens’ grievances. If a plaintiff or defendant is unsatisfied with the verdict, en has the right to appeal to the Chief Justices. The House of Commons has the power to bring charges against any elected official, be it Prime Muser, Governing Muser, Chief Justice or Head of Commons. In the case of the Justice, a temporary Justice shall be elected by the House to try the defendant in case of an appeal to the Justices. In the case of the Head of Commons, a temporary Head shall be elected to preside over the case.
Article II.
»Section 1. The executive branch of The Nation of Museica resides in three supreme elected officials, known hereafter as Prime Musers, abbreviated to PMs. PMs must visit Museica threads at minimum once every two weeks, else they will be declared absent and the Head of the House of Commons may cast a ballot in their place.Prime Musers cannot serve for a duration of longer than six months, and are elected directly by the citizens of Museica. The voting may not last more then two weeks, and should be limited to one unless less then ten votes have been cast.
»Section 2. These PMs are elected by popular vote, and must meet the following criterion:
•A sentient being of high moral standard who has pledged en’s interest in the prosperity of Museica (A2§3)
•Been established as a citizen of Museica (see A1§2)
•Read and understood the entirety of the Constitution of Museica
»Section 3. PMs must take the following pledge upon election: “I do swear at this time to uphold the standards set forth in this constitution and its preamble, to work to strengthen the Nation of Museica and advance its standing within the cosmos of MuseBlog.â€
»Section 4. Prime Musers are elected to carry out duties concerning the laws and lands of Museica, most notably forming agencies intended to enforce rule or decree set forth by the House of Commons. Prime Musers hold emergency power in times of chaos.
»Section 5. Prime Musers may hold votes among themselves to veto legislature, the vote must be unanimous, which will then be reviewed by judges for constitutionality, and re-voted upon in the HoC. Laws vetoed will then pass only with a two thirds majority in the HoC.Section 6. Executive power over the transportation system, the space program, and the various industries shall be vested in the Science Prime Muser.
Section 7. Executive power over the museum system, the public library system, education, and the arts shall be vested in the Arts Prime Muser.
Section 8. Executive power over the medical system, the national park system, agriculture, the police force, and the social services shall be vested in the Life Prime Muser.
Section 9. Decisions relating to the domains of more than one Prime Muser, or relating to the international situation, must be voted on by the entire Council. A two-thirds majority (2 ayes/w00ts) is required to put the decision into action. The dissenting PM has the power to call a special vote of the House of Commons upon the decision. If the House vetoes it, it will not be put into action.
Article III-Th Judicial System
Section I: The Judicial Power of Museica should be vested in one Supreme Court made up of 3 Chief Justices. The Chief Justices try cases which have been tried already by the House of Commons, but the verdict is challenged. Also, the Chief Justices try all cases where the accused is an Ambassador, PM, or the HoHoC.
Section II: All cases are tried in this manner. Each Case has a Defendant, who may defend themselves or use a Lawyer. Each Case also has a Prosecutor, who is a Lawyer. Of the Three Justices, one runs the case, one decides the Verdict, and one doles out the punishments.
Section III: The Chief Justices also have the power to interpret the Constitution, and will clear it up for the House of Commons when it is disputed. In short, the Chief Justice’ s job is that of the Arbiter, solving disputes and judging cases of great import.
Article IV- The Powers of Museica
Section 1: The powers invested into the Nation of Museica by this document, and it’s rulers, are applicable only to the lands of the Nation of Museica and it’s territories.
Section 2: Land may be acquired by the Nation in exploratory voyages that have proclaimed their intentions to secure uninhabited territory for Museica.
Section 3: Foreign lands wishing to join with Museica as part of the Republic must hold elections, two thirds of which must pass in favor. Lands wishing to ally will only need the formal approval of the leaders of that land.
Section 4: This constitution has been built and written as a universal document, in hopes that all law and procedure necessary in the Museiverse can be found within it’s pages. All citizens of lands, domestic or foreign can claim the rights and freedoms as their own (As found in A5§2) .
Article V- Rights of the People

in July 2nd, 2008 @ 16:04You all realize the problem, right? You can’t simply “vote” to add it because there’s no acknowledged way of amendng the constitution. That was the point of the whole article to begin with.
However, since certain musers, such as TMFA thought it was added, we can chalk it up to bad communication and declare that it was always there but simply mislaid in cyberspace.
If this logic is accepted, then Kokopelli ratifies the constitution.

We’re just voting to make sure we don’t have to go back and change anything else in the Constitution; there are no amendments yet.

in July 6th, 2008 @ 14:1538- HoHoC is the Head of the House of Commons.
Muserland may adopt/blatantly rip off this constitution for their own if they so desire, but that must be their decsion, not ours.
Nothing currently prohibits a resident of Muserland from participating/holding office in the Museica government.
Regarding the rights: If it isn’t currently in the Constitution (posts 4 & 8) than it isn’t there. You can submit an ammendment after we elect our government, though.

in July 7th, 2008 @ 14:46I think I said something on the mater but that was biased by the title of the article and what we thought other people wanted… we think that all people have the right to throw pies and should not be bared from doing so but we do not want to over do it or it loses its power. Like swear words in that respect. It is a good way of venting ones emotions but gets a bit tiring when every one does it all the time. I like the present level of pie throwing. I also love the tradition’s built around pie throwing and believe that “firm traditions hold together a society”(Confucius) especially being a Nation built on a pie. *laughs* Interesting question I want to know what other musers say *sits down and listens* [Reference to possible off-the-blog meeting snipped. –Admin.]

in July 10th, 2008 @ 18:5840- Pie throwing will be allowed, but the mess must be completely cleaned up by the throwers (to protect the environment and keep things nice-looking). There will also be limits to the size, velocity, and type of pie. Anything that can cause serious injury is illegal for regular (regular–as in friendlly pie throwing, as opposed to self-defence) use.
43- Land and space will be my highest priorities. Why land?
1. Space, water, and air don’t get worn away when you travel through them, but land does. We’ll have to put a lot of money into road maintenance.
2. Why use an airplane, spaceship, or boat to travel 3 miles to work?
Why space?
1. It’s the fastest way to go.
2. Much of our trade comes from the Pieceful Pie Planet.
3. Why use an airplane instead of a spaceship?
4. Why use a boat instead of a spaceship?

in July 11th, 2008 @ 09:32Regarding the regulation of pie throwing…
You can throw pies all you want, but you have to be nice and tidy after. Wouldn’t do to keep the city/country/land you were pieing in filthy with rotting pie crust, now, would it?!?!?!
Oh, and nothing fatal. There should be rules and serious penalties for breaking them.What is your opinion regarding federal money for land, air, water, and space travel and what priority is each one given?
Land is fairly important, because it’s what you see when you first enter. It gets worn away. I would rate it Priority Number 1.
Air is also important, because in the future, we could potentially have flying cars and personal jetpacks, but that’s a long ways off; we needn’t worry about that now. Priority Number 2 – tied with Space.
Water travel has become obsolete since the invention of the airplane. But there are also cruises and ferries and stuff, but it’s not quit as important. Priority No. 4.
Space — well, space is already quite important, since a ton of our trade comes from other planets, and perhaps soon planet-hopping will be as easy as hopping into the Millenium Falcon and going into hyperspace. Interplanetary travel will be essential in the future. Priority No. 2 – tied with Air.

in July 12th, 2008 @ 09:36Flying cars and personal jetpacks would cause air traffic, and any sort of bad crash would be fatal at 1000 feet off the ground.
And if you guess that you can make it to the next fuel outlet, and are wrong, you could hurtle down to the ground, screaming.
One mistake, and you are dead.
Teleportation however…

What abut Bo. Cows shouldn’t be born and killed. Is that all you would want in your life? Be born, be treated badly, and be killed? I don’t think so. So give every animal a chance (except for bad HPBs). Vote for Beatlesrockr.

What? I’m running for something?
154-According to post 86, they close at 10:00 PM. And this vote is essentially pointless, as virtually the only people who voted are people who are running.
And they just voted for their friends. This is worse than the old system! It was better when everyone was welcome–when people wouldn’t pick and choose and be bribed. What a laugh!
By the way, I’m not running.
But if you’re trying to pretend the system is fair and honest, at least stick to a closing time!

in July 28th, 2008 @ 21:20The polls were never officially opened, people just started voting. So technically, the polls should still be open right now.
Few attempts were made to get people over here to vote. Thus, it is hard to say we had an election, considering only ONE PERSON who wasn’t running for an office voted.
I apologize for the confusion–I had decided not to run for Science Prime Muser but hadn’t told you.
166-WAIT, PM TMFA!!! According to Article 2, section 3 of the Constitution, you must take the pledge that appears there!
Also, according to article 2, section 1 of the Constitution, voting should last no longer than 2 weeks and should be limited to one (the voting lasted from Thursday to Monday, just 5 days) unless fewer than ten votes have been cast. Well, only nine votes were cast. That really shows you how few people came, doesn’t it?
We wrote this Constitution to follow it. It was supposed to make everything easy and clear. And yet, somehow we aren’t following it!
Whatever shall we do? Should we have another election?
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to sound pushy or annoying. I just think we ought to keep from straying from the Constitution, and so when I find times we have I would like to point them out.

in July 31st, 2008 @ 14:58Wow! I won! I don’t believe it!
*shakes everyone’s hands*
Okay, the pie rules I stated in post #48 are now the laws of Chad, Urania, and Aeiou. Is that how it works? So…
Pie throwing will be allowed, but the mess must be completely cleaned up by the throwers (to protect the environment and keep things nice-looking). There will also be limits to the size, velocity, and type of pie. Anything that can cause serious injury is illegal for regular (regular–as in friendlly pie throwing, as opposed to self-defence) use.
So spike pies, pecan, and acid are out. Pies can’t be frozen or burning. Size…what would you recommend? 16 inch diameter maximum, maybe? And velocity…well, don’t be shooting pies at 90 mph. Use common sense.
I’ll also build and fund new HPB research labs, so as to help the fighting in Chad. And now I’ve got to go.

IBCF-half of why I gave up running for Science PM is because I wanted you to have the position. Just wanted you to know that…
Wait, I thought the HoC created laws, and the PMs made decisions and created and managed agencies.
I know, I’m confused, help me out here.Kokonilly, IBCF once traded Space ships for a piepoint each. Would you also trade spaceships for a piepoint each?
Hmmm, until we get more citizens, we won’t have much of a HoC. And we won’t know if Bookworm is HoHoC yet or not.

in August 2nd, 2008 @ 14:32212-Sorry! My mistake! IBCF traded a can of Uranium, the stuff the space ships run on, for a piepoint. I don’t think a piepoint is enough for a spaceship. How about, er, 5 piepoints per space ship? If you’re happy with that, I’ll send a request for how many space ships and Uranium cans I would like.
Bookworm, since no members of the HoC seem to be showing up, I think you should serve as HoHoC until there is a Hoc. Then they can decide if you should continue or not. The whole point of this new plan is the government can function when there are few people, and already we are faced with a shortage.

This Museican House of Commons hereby passes the proposed WUNG PROTECTION ACT.
222-Okay then, how about 50 space ships and 287 cans of Uranium for a total of 537 Piepoints? If you’re happy with that, add the piepoints to your name and send the ships and uranium.
Yay! Things are moving now! We’re trading!

Is the wait of having eaten part of a living animal necessary to our psyche? we need more research! and yes we might think differently on the chopping block 213 this brings up the point should we have vice prime (science ,life ,arts )musers I think with the sporadic comings and goings of musers we need back up for instance if a muser isn’t seen for a while or goes on a trip or gets sick or….We need someone to fill in.

And no. The Constitution states that PMs must visit the thread at least once every 2 weeks (I assume unless they say they’ll be away) or a new PM will be elected. That’s good enough. There isn’t that much going on, we can wait. There shouldn’t suddenly be a wave of interest in Museica the one time a PM goes away.

and also, I think that Previous Candidates for PM should be able to suggest. Let’s use logic, HAWK. If the constitution say “newbies” (
) aren’t allowed to call a vote, then if I get into Prime Muser at the next election, I will make it my priority to change that law. Let’s make Museica a free, responsible country, not an elitist oldbie society making out of date laws and constitutions. sorry for the outburst.

in August 4th, 2008 @ 19:48229+230-The point isn’t you’re a newbie in blog years. I’m saying (or meant to say, if it didn’t sound like it) that you must be a “newbie” in the sense you are not following the Constitution. Putting in Vice PMs would be changing the Constitution, thus article VII:
Article VII
1. This Constitution of the Republic of Museica, Is a living Document, and May be Amended and Changed As Such.
2. An Amendment may be proposed by any Citizen of Museica. It may be Passed with any of the following Votes:
a)Two of the three Prime Musers must vote yea on it, as must two thirds of the House of Commons and two thirds of the Governing Musers.
b) A single Prime Muser, three quarters of the House of Commons and seven of the nine Governing Musers must all vote yea.
c) The three Prime Musers must vote yea, three quarters of the House of Commons must vote yea, and three Governing Musers must vote yea.
d) A yea vote from all three Prime Musers, a majority of the House of Commons and seven of the nine Governing Musers must be obtained.
3. An Amendment past in any of the four aforesaid methods shall be regarding as Equal to Each other and to the original Constitution.Sure, you may be a Museican citizen, and you can propose the change. But I think it would be very unwise to make such a decision so soon. How could you possibly know the government wasn’t working so early? IBCF went on vacation for a week and you feel we need to amend the Constitution already, after all we just went through getting here. Please think about it.
Nothing that important is going on such that we couldn’t wait a week for IBCF to get back. Please. It wouldn’t be fair to IBCF, or anybody who left for a week. Think how you’d feel. He asked us not to do anything “really rash” and I think we can manage for a week. After how many times this thread has been dead, two PMs present should do just fine.
Do you see what I’m saying? Could you have a little patience?

in August 4th, 2008 @ 20:08Bookworm makes an excellent point. The PMs are doing just fine. They aren’t babies, and this isn’t rocket science. They don’t need someone to “back them up,” at least not yet. Give it some time. There aren’t enough people on the entire blog to have a decent HoC, even if they all came. And you know they won’t, few of us are even interested in the adventures. Most are more into the writing, or just the random and romance threads. A working HoC is way more important than Vice or “extra” PMs. The HoC represents the people we’re serving, and they’re to keep us from getting too out of control too. I really want to work on getting people for the HoC. It’s not fair for Bookworm. And remember, we have several GM positions to fill! IBCF going away for a week is the least of our worries, and I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t jump into this Vice PM business now. Give the government some time to see if it can work.

in August 9th, 2008 @ 20:14ZVX, please stop. You are purposefully attacking people on this thread who have been working in Museica for months and years to get it to where it is now. You have no right to attack anybody, certainly not those who have been taking their time and energy and working on making Museica what it is today. Stop undermining those who have been here for ages and have some consideration. There is absolutely no reason your issue is such an emergency it has to go through right now. You didn’t vote on other things that went through the HoC, but somehow yours is more important. It would create more positions, which you clearly want. There are many open positions. And you’re not taking them.
Stop picking on people. You have no right to correct TMFA when he makes a spelling error. You are intentionally trying to agitate us, I can see that. Well you can stop now. We aren’t going to tolerate people bossing us around. Your opinion doesn’t overrule those of everyone else. If you have a concern, please raise it properly and calmly.
We just got this Constitution in here. How could we be running into the lows when we haven’t run into the highs yet? Have you read all of the Museican threads? If you had you’d realize we are far more active than we have been.
The point of Museican Government is it functions well with few people in the government. If you don’t like something as basic as the major government layout, sorry! You as a citizen have no right to completely overhaul the government because you don’t like it as it is. It’s working so far, we just got it in here. Give it some time!
I am not being rude. I am telling you the truth. You will not come in here and tell us we’re all wrong and we must do it your way. If it aint broke, don’t fix it. You can propose things, but you can’t propose something to fix a problem that doesn’t exist. That would be altering the government to match your personal preferences, and that would violate the Constitution. The Constitution states that you cannot change it unless it proves insufficient or counterproductive. It is neither, yet. Keep your idea in your head until there is a time to need it.
Now, what can we do? The way to keep the thread running is to do things. But properly, following the Constitution, of course. I think we should do anything legal besides amending the Constitution. It’s new, and unless we use it we can’t know if it doesn’t work, right? Then if we use it for a while and find it isn’t working, we can amend it. We can’t possibly have found a problem with it when we haven’t done anything yet!

in August 10th, 2008 @ 08:57ZVX may of course attempt a Constitutional Amendment, and no one here can stop him. Please note, however, that it seems unlikely to pass in these circumstances and that it would probably not be wise. If he wishes to have a position where he can attempt to correct the constitution’s flaws, I suggest he becomes a Chief Justice! There he will be in a position to examine the constitution more closely!
Also… LR#2 is now in voting in the HoC, and shall be until 10 PM, Boston Time. It can be found in Post 239. (Note: It is TMFA’s bill, I just spell-checked it!) I vote: Aye!

243- For HAWK, I think that it could be considered “Picking on people” to randomly set up a post that disses all their ideas; that’s not exactly what Museica should be about, is it? A couple citizens really angry at each other (not to say I am angry with you, HAWK.) without giving any thought to what the other suggests.
No, I’m not trying to change the Government to fit my personal views. Would I run for Prime Muser if that was what I was trying to do? No, because I wouldn’t get anybody to vote. There’s no point in it. We’re backtracking and forgetting the Constitution; there’s no need for that. We may disagree, HAWK, but we don’t need to be blinded by each other’s separate views and ways to we see could improve on our Government.
I can understand you being protective of Museica, which would be considered normal. I’m just trying to point out possible flaws.245- How exactly do you become a Chief Justice, Bookworm?

in August 11th, 2008 @ 11:00ZVX, you are missing the point. Please read my posts carefully. Claiming I am not giving your ideas any thought is rather hypocritical, I feel. And it isn’t true. I have given a lot of thought over to your idea. I feel it is not the right time for it, though. I have offered you could suggest it later at an appropriate time. However, you continue to blame me for things I am not doing in the least, seemingly in an attempt to distract from the point of this discussion.
You are claiming there is a problem when there is none. You said:
“the PMs should serve their people, not vice-versa.” Well, if you have so many positions every citizen holds one, the point of this government is ruined! You must not have been present when POSOC proposed this plan. It was such that there were very few positions so that only those best suited to the job would be elected. If you double the number of positions, there will be no competition! It will be like the old days before there was a Constitution! People will vote themselves into office, without a soul competing.
We don’t have enough people to fill the GM, CJ, and HoC positions. Nowhere near enough, and you think we should double the number of PMs, thus taking away more people from the positions that need to be filled? We’re in the lows because there aren’t enough people for the positions. If it was that there were more people than positions, we would be in a very good position: There would be competition, people would have to fight to get a position, and they would have to live up to high standards or they would be pushed out. There would be great interest in Museica, there would be things to do.
As it stands, the government works very well. If one of the PMs does not do ens job, they may be replaced in two weeks. In this way we avoid having power-grabbing people holding powerful positions and being able to abuse their power, with nothing to stop them, no other person threatening to take their position.
Until it is proven there is a problem, the Constitution cannot be amended. There can’t even be a VOTE to amend it, because the supposed cure will actually make the problem worse. We need more people, not more positions. I think you all can agree with that.

Anyway, I know that there isn’t enough people to fill CJ, GM, and HoC positions. If we put our effort into getting more people, we could become a strong, Museocratic, society again. There just isn’t enough people.

This government is far too dead to introduce any new positions. When the HoHoC is forced to pass laws with one vote, and a PM is forced to write laws because nobody else is present, you know you have a problem. Almost all of the officials we have are active, the problem is we don’t have enough people to fill all of the positions!

in August 15th, 2008 @ 19:38This is scary. TMFA and I have been discussing the lack of new volunteers for days now. The posts before were mainly those of people asking what has happened, and they did not return after summaries were made.
This is also rather pointless, but I feel SOMETHING should be said on the Museica thread once and a while.
Anyone want to trade? Any citizens out there to vote on bills in the HoC?
ANYONE OUT THERE???

We should have an election to elect the remaining GMs and the CJs. An election might regain interest in Museica! What do you think?

Now to business we don’t have ambassadors do we? should we? Badrang is traveling back to air to look in on his mage school (which is finished by the way) he also wishes to talk with TMFA about adding sylph to the list. although not yet to a endangered level they are on a surprisingly fast decrease and may be extinct within the century! And the decade for museica! Sylphs need high stone mating grounds with large quantities of mica and strong winds (feathers help to) a couple specially designed National parks might do the trick. 248 249 etc …eek! my great and powerful god RTH is flaming! *blood sacrifice(s)* *calm down* *calm down…*

in August 16th, 2008 @ 08:27270-We have ambassadors. Well, we don’t have any at the moment, but we can and ought to.
I did not flame. Flaming is when random personal insults and rude names are thrown at somebody in rage. I disagreed with ZVX and pointed out all of the many problems I feel his plan would cause in Museica. If you can’t tolerate some discussion, you can’t live with this kind of government!
I was forced to continue posting all of the problems so ZVX would stop pushing something that anybody could see would be disastrous for Museica at this moment. We need to address the issue of too few people, not too few positions.
If I sounded harsh, it’s because that’s just how very bad more positions for Museica right now would be. I care about Museica and don’t want it to collapse–I don’t think you can fault me for that. It’s a lot more than you can say about most MBers, some don’t know we exist over here!
There are 3 CJs we need to elect plus some GMs! I only see three GMs here, so we could need as many as six, maybe fewer.
271-Oh, do you not know the terms GM and CJ? A GM is a Governing Muser, you’re GM of Urania. A CJ is a Chief Justice.
271-I do not know. So many have been proposed, I do not know which one is considered the official one.
Where is POSOC? In three days he will lose his position as Arts PM! GAPAs, have you seen him anywhere?
This is terrible! He can’t lose his position so soon! I hope he comes back.

in August 16th, 2008 @ 10:00Muserland Constitution
Preamble
We, The People of Muserland, in order to preserve the thread and remain a beacon of creativity and imagination in the Museworld, hereby ordain and establish this constitution to serve as a legal system for governance and guidance. We have embarked upon this endeavor to showcase the might of Muse and all its lands, a safe-haven for the hardworking, creative, and curious individual.
•The laws and procedure set forth in this document were built to act as solid ground for the oft tossed residents of the World of Muse, and are not binding unless accepted as so.
•As a government functions for the people, one cannot function without the people. Unity in action will bring prosperity.
•If these doctrine set out are insufficient or counter productive to the Free Republics of Muse, they shall be re-worked by the people, with common consent. The Power is the People.
Article I.
»Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a House of Commons, which shall consist of all citizens of Muserland, excepting those who hold other public office.
»Section 2. Any sentient being who has posted on at least one thread relating to Muserland, read at least one thread of the Chronicles of Museica, and who has been in residence upon the Blog for at least thirty days, shall be considered a citizen of Muserland, and thus eligible to sit in the House of Commons.
»Section 3. The House of Commons, once established, shall select from among its members a Head of the Commons, who shall have the responsibility of overseeing the voting carried out by the House. No citizen may serve as the Head for a duration longer than six months.
»Section 4. Any member of the House of Commons may propose a new legislation at any point in time. If the proposal receives a second, it shall be put to the full House. The duration of the voting time shall not exceed a week. At the end of the week, the Head of the Commons shall count the votes and act according to the general consensus. If the ayes/w00ts exceed the nays/mehs, the bill shall be made law: if vice versa, the bill shall be removed from consideration.
»Section 5. The House of Commons shall hear any and all citizens’ grievances. If a plaintiff or defendant is unsatisfied with the verdict, en has the right to appeal to the Chief Justices. The House of Commons has the power to bring charges against any elected official, be it Prime Muser, Governing Muser, Chief Justice or Head of Commons. In the case of the Justice, a temporary Justice shall be elected by the House to try the defendant in case of an appeal to the Justices. In the case of the Head of Commons, a temporary Head shall be elected to preside over the case.
Article II.
»Section 1. The executive branch of The Nation of Muserland resides in three supreme elected officials, known hereafter as Prime Musers, abbreviated to PMs. PMs must visit Muserland threads at minimum once every two weeks, else they will be declared absent and the Head of the House of Commons may cast a ballot in their place. Prime Musers cannot serve for a duration of longer than six months, and are elected directly by the citizens of Muserland. The voting may not last more than two weeks, and should be limited to one unless less then ten votes have been cast.
»Section 2. These PMs are elected by popular vote, and must meet the following criterion:
•A sentient being of high moral standard who has pledged en’s interest in the prosperity of Muserland (A2§3)
•Been established as a citizen of Muserland (see A1§2)
•Read and understood the entirety of the Constitution of Muserland
»Section 3. PMs must take the following pledge upon election: “I do swear at this time to uphold the standards set forth in this constitution and its preamble, to work to strengthen the Nation of Muserland and advance its standing within the cosmos of MuseBlog.â€
»Section 4. Prime Musers are elected to carry out duties concerning the laws and lands of Muserland, most notably forming agencies intended to enforce rule or decree set forth by the House of Commons. Prime Musers hold emergency power in times of chaos.
»Section 5. Prime Musers may hold votes among themselves to veto legislature, the vote must be unanimous, which will then be reviewed by judges for constitutionality, and re-voted upon in the HoC. Laws vetoed will then pass only with a two thirds majority in the HoC.
»Section 6. Executive power over the transportation system, the space program, and the various industries shall be vested in the Science Prime Muser.
»Section 7. Executive power over the museum system, the public library system, education, and the arts shall be vested in the Arts Prime Muser.
»Section 8. Executive power over the medical system, the national park system, agriculture, the police force, and the social services shall be vested in the Life Prime Muser.
»Section 9. Decisions relating to the domains of more than one Prime Muser, or relating to the international situation, must be voted on by the entire Council. A two-thirds majority (2 ayes/w00ts) is required to put the decision into action. The dissenting PM has the power to call a special vote of the House of Commons upon the decision. If the House vetoes it, it will not be put into action.
Article III-The Judicial System
»Section 1: The Judicial Power of Muserland should be vested in one Supreme Court made up of 3 Chief Justices. The Chief Justices try cases which have been tried already by the House of Commons, but the verdict is challenged. Also, the Chief Justices try all cases where the accused is an Ambassador, PM, or the HoHoC.
»Section 2: All cases are tried in this manner. Each Case has a Defendant, who may defend themselves or use a Lawyer. Each Case also has a Prosecutor, who is a Lawyer. Of the Three Justices, one runs the case, one decides the Verdict, and one doles out the punishments.
»Section 3: The Chief Justices also have the power to interpret the Constitution, and will clear it up for the House of Commons when it is disputed. In short, the Chief Justice’ s job is that of the Arbiter, solving disputes and judging cases of great import.
Article IV- The Powers of Muserland
»Section 1: The powers invested into the Nation of Muserland by this document, and it’s rulers, are applicable only to the lands of the Nation of Muserland and it’s territories.
»Section 2: Land may be acquired by the Nation in exploratory voyages that have proclaimed their intentions to secure uninhabited territory for Muserland.
»Section 3: Foreign lands wishing to join with Muserland as part of the Republic must hold elections, two thirds of which must pass in favor. Lands wishing to ally will only need the formal approval of the leaders of that land.
»Section 4: This constitution has been built and written as a universal document, in hopes that all law and procedure necessary in the Museiverse can be found within it’s pages. All citizens of lands, domestic or foreign can claim the rights and freedoms as their own (As found in A5§2) .
Article V- Rights of the People

☮iŹ√Ҳ!☮ (400 piepoints 40 brain points)☮
in August 16th, 2008 @ 14:18276- PiePoints could work as currency. I would be more than willing to develop a Museica paper PiePoint as well.
Many of us have a large amount of PiePoints; If you do NOT have many PiePoints, or none at all, then maybe people could have a beginning fund of 200 from the Bank of Museica.
Establishing a good bank is important, as if we are to continue making Museica work, we need a strong money system.
GMs, PMs, and CJs should be able to pull Points from the bank IF NEEDED for a Govermental matter. Their limit of amount of Points would be 1,000, as the bank shouldn’t be drained of it’s money. Effectively, Museica is
ruledcontrolled completely by Prime Musers. Therefore, the Prime Musers MUST NOT take anything from the bank as PERSONAL PROFIT.Furthermore, PiePoints will come in two forms: the paper PiePoint and the coin PiePoint. There should be a PiePoint, a Quarter PiePoint and a Cent PiePoint. Four QPps to a PiePoint, 24 CPps to a QPp.
All citizens HAVE THE RIGHT TO CARRY MONEY. However, you must be MBer Age (9-30 yrs–GAPAs excepted, of course.) to write a check, hold a blogger card, or transfer money electronically.
All electronically transferred money is surveyed by the bank. The bank has the right to STOP A TRANSACTION if it feels the transaction is illegal or suspicious. The Chief Justice will examine this to determine what is to be done: if the bank wrongly accused a Citizen of Museica, the Bank MUST allow the transaction to continue. Failure to comply by the Bank will result in serious consequences.
How’s that?

in August 17th, 2008 @ 00:01re: Lack of members of the HoC
Instead of nine GMS, perhaps Museica should be divided into three regions of three sections. There would then be only three GMs, and other positions could be filled.
For example, there could be one region made up of mimi, chad, and crraw.At this point, I would like to submit myself as a candidate for Chief Justice since I find the lack to be most alarming. If accepted, I will abdicate my position as GM of Kokopelli. If my above resolution is accepted, that should not be an issue.

in August 17th, 2008 @ 10:10288-I don’t know. I think we’ve gone far enough giving national control to three supreme officials. I think the GMs should stay the same; it’s nice having the positions, I think it’s good having internal affairs controlled by individual people. For each province.
I also don’t think taking six GMs away would solve our people shortage. Only a few (maybe only three) GMs are even present, so we’d have far fewer positions in the long run and no extra people in the short term. Perhaps temporarily it can be understood that three GMs will manage three provinces each until there are enough people to fill the spots. I’m sure there eventually will be, and we’ll wish we had those spots.
We could have each current GM look after the three provinces named after the muses of one of the categories of the Prime Musers!
Science (Chad, Aeiou, Urania),
Arts (Kokopelli, Crraw, Bo), and
Life (Mimi, Feather, Pwt).
One problem: Kokonilly’s Urania. Hmm.
It’s a possibility. We could rearrange the names above to make it work. It’s a short-term fix until we get more people.

in August 17th, 2008 @ 11:49I think that a more drastic change than 288. is needed. I believe that we must abolish the positions of GMs entirely, in order to have a working HoC, and a working government!
Wait! New Idea! Perhaps we could make the GMs members of the HoC as well. Then we would have enough HoC members to have a working HoC. Also, the people left could become CJs! How does that sound?

I like my idea. Then only three people would be needed for the GM positions until we have more people. We wouldn’t have to alter the Constitution, we’d just temporarily have fewer GMs than normal. We need GMs to govern the provinces! There’s a lot to be done there.

293-No, we need you as Kokopelli GM. We’re debating what to do about the lack of people and how to limit the number of positions temporarily so we can have a working HoC. We need you to cover Kokopelli and two other Provinces. We don’t need CJs now, so let’s ignore them until we have a HoC and GMs.

in August 20th, 2008 @ 12:56“Maybe, you need to be elected” So when can we start voting for that?
Wait, if you were already a GM before the election, and you lost it. Are you still a GM, or do you have to be elected again?

And we need CJs. Because all of this is interpreting the Constitution.

in August 20th, 2008 @ 14:08Trying again. The blog is really slow and strange at the moment (for me anyway) so I apologize if this is going through multiple times.
CJs ought to be elected. Why would the people who analyze our constitution be appointed by one person? That’s not how our government works.
Zyviva, I understand you want the position badly. But Museica isn’t about handing out positions anymore. Anyone can see we need GMs more than CJs at this moment. We can deal with any minor Constitution misunderstandings ourselves until things are moving. Until then, the provinces, the places that make up Museica, are falling apart. Why have everyone so busy with national matters and other such things when Museica itself, not ideas about it, not all of the politics behind it, the land itself is collapsing.
We have virtually NO citizens who don’t already hold a position. We need you to watch after three provinces for a while.
So please, Zyviva, if you truly are looking to help Museica, please remain a GM and watch after two extra provinces too.
I hereby declare Feather and Pwt to be under my management until we have a significant influx of citizens.

in August 20th, 2008 @ 17:07308- I don’t necassarily want the position for myself. It simply bothers me that no one holds it. Especially given the current circumstances tat require so much constitutional interpretation.
But since Crraw and Bo seem to have both passed into my hands, I must goand deal with all the dratted paperwork that results. Or I may make my aids do that and focus on some of the real issues confronting the provinces.

in August 21st, 2008 @ 08:44312-Well, essentially two branches don’t exist. The HoC is just Bookworm, and as nice as he is it really isn’t a full HoC. And he wants people in the HoC, obviously.
There are only three GMs, covering for three provinces each.
Two of the PMs barely post enough to maintain their positions.
It’s a great government, but when you only have a couple of people actively posting it can be difficult to get things done.
You see why I wanted you to stay GM, Zyviva? I think we ought to maintain the faintly active branches and slowly build up the others as volunteers arrive.

in August 22nd, 2008 @ 20:07TMFA, I thank you for your significant support of Museica. You are just about the only other person here holding up Museica constantly.
Zyviva is coming fairly regularly now, which is nice. Kokonilly comes sometimes too.
I don’t know what is wrong with POSOC and IBCF. After POSOC designed the government saying it was highly resistant to collapse (which I believed) he himself disappeared after being elected.
I know people are busy, but come on! Particulary people who are active elsewhere on the blog. It’s true I haven’t seen POSOC at all just recently, but it would be nice if he would show up. I’m a little GM and I’m here helping hold up the entire country from absolute ruin.

Ê‘yviva
in August 23rd, 2008 @ 20:11319- I do try to be on regularly. Below is a summery on the three provinces under my direction. I appologize if anything is outdated/incorrect.
Kokopelli- For the most part this is a highly developed area. The economy is largely industrialized, with pie baking a major industry. Because of the capital’s location in Kokopelli, there is a fairly steady business in tourism. With the recent near-collapse of the federal government, however, tourism has dropped significantly. Crime is slightly higher in Kokopelli than in other regions, with illegal dangerous pies being a large problem. However, social pie-throwing is incredibly common and most Kokopellians are large supports of the right to eat and throw pies. They largely blame illegal manufacturers and black-market deals for the high crime rate.
The region would like to see a stronger and more stable economy, as well as more roads to allow it better access to raw materials. Stabilizing the federal government is also important. Environmental laws are a mixed issue, with business owners seeing them as unnecessary invasion and residents new the national park seeing them as an ever-growing necessity. Universal health care is generally supported, although citizens fear long wait lines and bureaucratically inefficiency.Bo- The bulk of the economy is agrarian, with a focus on pie ingredients such as wheat and fruit. Nautical pursuits are also important, given Bo’s many ports and large lake (Lake Kokopaqua). However, shipbuilding is not a healthy industry and most equipment is bought from Chad. Sailing is mostly seen as a means to transport goods, although a few leisure ships are in business. Schools are central to social life, and are frequented as often as is feasible.
The region would like to see more money go into research that would help it survive adverse weather conditions. Schools should be more accommodating to a farmer’s life style and more nontraditional methods are necessary. Universal health care is met with mixed reactions. Some Boites feel that since they are poorer than other citizens they would benefit greatly. Others think that since they are healthier than other regions they would be paying more than they would receive.Crraw- This region is home to the most intellectuals. School is given the highest priority, and many graduates take on theoretical rather than practical work. Despite this trend, medical doctors are fairly common. The Great Library is a source of great national pride. The economy is largely based on information and information management. This takes the form of books, websites, schools, etc. Almost all advancements in the field of metadata have arisen in this region.
The region would like to impose stricter regulation on pies, which it views as mostly “horrid, book-wrecking, flying gooâ€. Universal health care is almost unanimously supported. Doctors feel this would give them better access to patients and health data workers feel a feasible system could be worked out on a nationwide scale.

in August 29th, 2008 @ 08:23In my understanding, the Constitution protects us from most current issues. According to the Constitution, PMs must visit this thread at a minimum once every two weeks. If they don’t, then we elect a new PM. Two weeks is the maximum amount of time we can and should wait before it becomes impractical to continue hoping they will return to support Museica.
Also in my understanding, PMs are elected to serve the people and their country. If they cannot or will not, even if simply due to a lack of time to blog, they cannot properly serve their people and their country, and so a new PM ought to be elected. Not to say the old PM couldn’t run again if and when they return, but keeping them as official PM and electing a VPM to serve in their place doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. Why should the PM keep ens position if en is not fulfilling the required duties? The PM positions are serious, not to be thought of as an honorary title to be kept for no good reason. While we want to allow them to keep their positions for their full terms, it may prove impractical at times, and I don’t think we should have to keep track of VPMs.
A PM should value ens position enough to visit this thread and this thread alone if there is only time to visit one thread at a time. Also, two weeks is very generous in my mind. It should be possible to say something in those two weeks.
But, I do hope POSOC and IBCF are okay!
Got to run!

330- We run the land of Museica (and sometimes Muserland, although we haven’t dealt with that lately. we’re having enough problems with one country– let alone two!)
Museica is divided into provinces, with each province named after a muse (kokopelli, urania, etc.) Each region is run by a GM, but because of a staff shortage each GM currently runs three provinces. (I’m GM of Kokopelli, but am also running Bo and Crraw)Welcome to Museica! Feel free to imput your opinions about how the country ought to be run. As an MBer, you are part of our citizen legislature (the House of Commons) and have a voice anda vote.

in August 29th, 2008 @ 16:56332- we’ve bemoaned the fact that there aren’t enough people on this thread. GMs govern 3 provinces each, and will continue to do so until there are enough people. In 324 I summerize the state of my provinces and would like other GMs to do the same. TMFA proposed a bill or universal health care, but it seems to have been dropped from the agenda. I think that covers the important bits.
333- There are no elections to be in the HoC (house of commons), every citizen is automatically a member. If you are intrested in another position, say so. chances are you’ll be running unopposed anyway. The Constitution is in posts 4 & 8 and I suggest you read it. Post 239 contains the two bills passed by the HoC. 316 contains a proposed bill.

Please, everyone, if you can get on the blog, you can get on this thread.
333-As soon as we get some more people like you! We need more interested active citizens.
~We need to elect 6 GMs, or Governing Musers, who run the provinces, named after the muses.
~We need to then elect three CJs, or Chief Justices.
~And, we need people for the HoC, or House of Commons. You don’t have to be elected for that, so you are already a member of that, Zonka. When somebody creates a new law to vote on, you can vote yes or no and have your say in the government! How cool is that?!

From Kokopelli:
Unemployment is on the rise do to a lack of financial discipline and a nonuniform currency. Some accept pie-points while others declare them to be newfangled fiat trash. Various companies are declaring bankruptcy.
From Bo:
With Kokopellian industries in trouble, there are fewer costumers to buy their products. Huge crates of blueberrys are rotting in the store house since Blue Beard Pies Inc. declared bankruptcy and no other buyers have appeared.
From Crraw:
The Medical Data Commision reports that with various innovations in administration and testing, the projected cost of universal health care could be reduced by 7%.
