We, the nations comprising of the glorious region of the Sovereign Nations of Quagmire, in order to form a more perfect assembly, establish justice, ensure regional tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty and sovereignty for ourselves and our nations' posterity do ordain and establish the Constitution for the Sovereign Nations of Quagmire.
Article One:
National sovereignty shall be preserved. No regional law shall be added that seeks to govern the internal affairs of any sovereign nation in the SNQ at any time. This includes (but is not limited to): legal jurisprudence, foreign policy, fiscal and monetary policy, religious institutions (or lack thereof), military policy, and domestic policy.
Article Two:
The SNQ Delegate Assembly is formally established as the gathering of honorable delegates (representatives) of each member nation of the SNQ with the purpose of discussing matters of regional importance.
All international diplomatic grievances within the region must be settled through the Delegate Assembly as well as matters of political and economic resolutions that affect the entire region. Resolutions can be brought forth for voting by any delegate of a SNQ member nation according to protocol established by Article Five.
The venerable position of Secretary General of the SNQ Assembly shall be held by a Common Nation from the Sovereign Nations of Quagmire, as voted upon by the majority of the Sensational Six. If there is deadlock, the voting shall be deferred for voting by the Common Nations.
The sacred responsibilities of the Secretary General is as follows:
i) Organize voting procedures for resolutions in quorum on the SNQ Delegate Assembly floor.
ii) Recognize votes (from Sensational Six Nations and Common Nations)
iii) If necessary, call for clarification/rewrite of new resolutions in quorum.
iv) Maintain strict impartiality and order during Assembly sessions.
The Secretary General shall maintain full voting rights and resolution proposal privileges as a delegate of his/her home nation. The delegate elected to the post of Secretary General shall hold the post for no longer than two consecutive months. The Sensational Six reserves the right to remove the Secretary General from his/her post with a no-confidence vote by the majority of the Sensational Six.
Article Three:
The Sensational Six, the nations comprising of Vitalinia, Vitalina, Vitalistan, Calvista, Roncelynia, and Beejaya (in place of the nation of Jaymans) shall moderate regional affairs, as already stated in the Declaration of the Founding of the SNQ. Each nation is entitled to veto power on any regional resolution in quorum in the SNQ Assembly floor. However, this veto must be seconded by another SS member in order to be a valid veto. The veto can be overridden by the majority of the remaining SS to vote to override the veto.
Article Four:
In case of regional instability, the assembly shall have the authority to deploy a multi-national task force solely dedicated to peacekeeping missions (i.e. regional military intervention with the purpose of restoring order).
A legally recognized government of any country may come to the assembly and ask for the multi-national task force (the SNQ Peacekeepers) to help contain an internal insurrection that it deems has the propensity to threaten the stability of the region.
The Sensational Six may choose a general from any SNQ nation to lead the task force.
No nation shall be obligated to contribute troops to this force. Furthermore, if intervention is approved by the assembly, no nation may obstruct the mission of the multi-national force. All operations by the SNQ Peacekeepers may not exceed 6 months unless given written, expressed permission by the head of government of the country that is currently being occupied.
Article Five:
Delegates from the SNQ Delegate Assembly shall have the power to propose new resolutions for vote to become articles in the SNQ Constitution. Protocol for resolution proposals is as follows:
i) Any resolution proposed before the Assembly must have an endorsement from at least one other member nation be it Common or of the Six.
ii) New resolutions must not contradict any of the previous articles.
iii) The Secretary General and nations belonging to the Sensational Six reserve the right to call and assist with rewrites and clarifications of proposals on the Assembly floor.
