CONGRESS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
A BILL TO
Provide clarity of the status of the Wilderness and create a framework for procedure with the International Community.
The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:
1. Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the "International Community Framework Act" or the “ICF Act.”
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signing.
(3) This Act has been authored by FloorIsTired.
(4) This Act has been sponsored by Representative Raz0Baz0.
(5) This Act has been co-sponsored by Representative pricelessAgrari.
2. Reasons and intent
(1) To formalize how the government operates outside of its jurisdiction.
(2) To formalize relations with towns in the wild.
(3) To exercise soft power in territories outside of Redmont’s jurisdiction.
(4) To recognize that Redmont is a member of a broader International Community and that the scope of Redmont’s jurisdiction does not extend to International Zones.
(5) To replace the International Treaties Act to meet the requirements for interaction presented by an International Zone.
3. Repeal
(1) The “International Treaties Act (ITA)” shall be repealed.
4. Definitions
(1) The Wilderness refers to the Wilderness worlds of both the Minecraft servers StateCraft and DemocracyCraft (i.e., the End, the Nether, the Wild, the Everwild, and the Outback) as an International Zone.
(2) The International Community describes all formal polities that are organized outside of government regulation and control.
(3) There are two classes of International Community members that Redmont seeks to recognize:
(a) Polities organized in the Wilderness of the Democracycraft server, known as the Wild Community.
(b) Polities organized beyond the server’s reach, known as the Foreign Community.
(4) Polity, for the purposes of this Act, explicitly refers to a member of the International Community.
(5) The International Parley Rule refers to the process by which a polity defers dispute resolution to Redmont’s courts for arbitration.
(a) Pursuant to previous staff vetoes, the enforcement and penalties for dispute resolution for this method are only incurred within Redmont’s jurisdiction in the form of a formal treaty of enforcement coordination with clear bounds of the polity in question.
(6) Recognition Classifications
(a) A Recognized Partner is a polity that has:
(i) Formally ratified Redmont’s International Parley Rule; and
(ii) Is eligible for broader treaties for:
1) Enforcement Coordination;
2) Anti-fraud;
3) Extradition;
4) Arbitration through Redmont’s Courts;
(b) A Registered Community is a polity that:
(i) has a codified source of fundamental law (i.e., a constitution or charter); and
(ii) has community leadership; and
(iii) a formal dispute process; and
(iv) Is eligible for limited commercial compacts with registered legal entities within Redmont, pursuant to Redmont’s International Parley Rule.
(c) A Freely Associated Territory is a polity that:
(i) may have a less developed local governance model than a Registered Community; and
(ii) maintains full internal control; and
(iii) has a loose agreement with the Executive that requests limited services from Redmont Executive Departments within Redmont’s capabilities and staff policy, without implying Redmont’s jurisdiction over the International Zone. An executive agreement may include the coordination of services such as:
1) Eviction
2) Incorporated entity registration of legal entities associated with a polity’s activity within Redmont
(iv) Any coordination relating to defense or events must be limited to actions occurring within Redmont’s territory and jurisdiction, and shall not be construed as Redmont’s regulation of the International Zone.
PART II — INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT AND RECOGNITION
5. International Agreement Authority and Procedure
(1) An International Agreement is a written contract between one or more members of the International Community and a Redmont entity, signed by a representative of each party to the agreement.
(a) Two types of International Agreements that may be made,
(i) A Treaty for formal interaction and obligation of federal entities,
(ii) And a compact for interaction and obligation with legal entities within Redmont
(b) A treaty’s procedure and authority are the following:
(i) The executive may negotiate the terms of a treaty
(ii) The President, or their delegate, may sign the treaty
(iii) The Senate provides advice and consent with a simple majority in favor of the terms of the agreement through a Resolution of Ratification.
(iv) After approval, Redmont may formalize the document as an instrument of ratification.
(v) All treaties must be posted publicly and in a viewable area for reference.
(vi) All treaties are constituted as akin to statutes.
(vii) If a treaty is not self-executing, Congress must pass laws to enforce it.
(c) A compact’s procedure and authority are the following:
(i) A member of the Wild Community may formalize an agreement with any registered legal entity under Redmont jurisdiction, provided that it is lawful.
(ii) A compact is subject to the same procedure as the Contracts Act.
6. Territorial Jurisdiction Limitations
(1) This Act may not be construed to create Redmont law applicable in the Wilderness.
(2) Recognition and treaties may not be construed to imply Redmont jurisdiction in the International Zone.
(3) Extending upon the International Parley Rule, Redmont enforcement actions under this act are limited to effects inside Redmont and measures feasible within Redmont.
7. Recognition
(1) The DOS shall maintain a registry of polities, their representatives, a point of contact, and claimed recognition classification, if any.
(2) The DOS may deny a claimed recognition classification with explicit reasoning given for their decision.
(3) Staff may veto polity registration.
(4) A representative may submit on behalf of an unregistered polity attempting to gain a recognition classification, so long as one does not already exist, and they have proof of authorization by their polity.
(5) Any polity may register as long as it provides proof of Existence.
(6) It will be the responsibility of the polity to maintain its registration.
(7) The DoS will have the power to create rules and regulations for the creation of this registry.
(a) The subject of these rules shall be:
(i) Procedural guidelines
(ii) Proof of Authorization
(iii) Proof of Existence
(iv) Quality of documentation surrounding the polity;
(v) As well as the required documentation for registration of the polity
(b) The DOS shall not attempt to impose regulation on polities for any of the following:
(i) Governance model
(ii) Player count
(iii) Activity requirements
PART III - POSTLIMINARIES
8. Transition
(1) Any treaties previously agreed to by Redmont before the signing of this Act will not be void or subject to nullification.
(2) Section 10(2)(iv) of the Legislative Standards Act shall be amended as follows: “Wilderness Law International Law”
(3) Recognition is declarative, by nature of it being a classification system based on participation and not assignment.
(4) Within 20 days of the enactment of this Act:
(a) The Department of State shall establish and publish the registry of polities, as required under Section 8.
(b) The Executive shall review all existing treaties ratified under the International Treaties Act.
(5) The Kingdom of Alexandria shall be recognized as a Recognized Partner and as a Registered Community provisionally until it applies for registration.

- This act excessively over-formalizes relationships with all Wild Communities. Members of Wild Communities in Redmont are already de-facto citizens of Redmont, exercising voting powers and having the rights afforded by their citizenship, due to the nature of the server. This act allows self declared nations and poorly organized groups to apply for a form of legal secession. A polity which cannot prove both sufficient autonomy and a functioning state apparatus should not be granted any form of jurisdiction or recognition by the Executive.
