[United Powers Clan Alliance: Organizational Guide V3]
[Written by and all rights reserved by Benblue/Meowmixxed]

[Note: It is asked that anyone affiliated with the UPCA should read the entirety of this guide so that all expectations can be followed properly and the clan can function fully]

[-1-] Mission Statement:

[Info:] In March of 2009 the United Powers was first formed, it was a collection of groups and organizations on ROBLOX which worked together to progress in an exponentially positive fashion. Since then the United Powers Clan Alliance (UPCA) has been through much - it has had times of great prosperity, and times of dormancy. However, the mission of the United Powers Clan Alliance is unwavering and benevolent in nature. The UPCA intends to form a council of the most relevant and integral clans on ROBLOX which collaborate and work together toward a common purpose, that being the elite standard of clans on ROBLOX. The UPCA does not intend to interfere with war affairs or general clan affairs, instead it regulates them - it intends to create a hierarchy of clans in which interclan affairs between them can be managed by a trustable and responsible third party, that being the UPCA.

In addition to managing friendly wars and interclan affairs between its member clans, the UPCA intends to unite its member clans together so that all can make decisions, and that all of the clans voices can be heard. For each clan separately has less influence, than banded together under one banner - the UPCA banner. The UPCA is a full democracy, and no clan holds power over the other in decision making processes. The UPCA is meant to be a mutual benefit to all clans, and a meeting of all major forces on ROBLOX so that progress can be made. As such every clan has an opportunity to speak during the meetings, every clan has an opportunity to vote, and all members of the alliance have certain rights than can not be infringed upon. The UPCA is a progressive democracy, one which favors the clans in it, and one which holds a bias toward no clan. It is a truly inspirational association, one which will progress and bring a new standard of clans to ROBLOX - The UPCA standard.

---

[-2-] Alliance Infrastructure:

[Preliminary Information:] The United Powers Clan Alliance is setup with multiple different positions for a variety of people. It’s ranking system holds places for agents, special advisors, a committee of clans owners and representatives, citizens and administrative officials of the alliance. The infrastructure of the UPCA is intended for utmost efficiency in the voting and deliberative process. The UPCA intends to manage wars, interclan affairs, votes, interclan discussion, interclan technology exchange and more through this infrastructure - and we intend to make it clear that the alliance itself is an unbiased democracy. Below you can read more about the infrastructure of the clan itself.

-

[Weekly Clan Summit:] A weekly clan summit is held for interclan discussion, interclan voting, interclan deliberation and updates on the alliance as a whole. This weekly summit gives every clan within the alliance a chance to speak freely to the associated clans, and a chance to vote on key issues presented at the summit - keeping in mind every clan has a right to free speech and a right to vote should they be present. This weekly clan summit also gives a chance for allowed citizens and executives to speak freely concerning the alliance, and all clans are expected to be in attendance for this key weekly event.

[Schedule:] Each weekly clan summit would follow a specific schedule - which is as follows:

1. Introduction by the Overseer and/or Luminary, and briefing of major events or happenings since the last Summit meeting.
2. Clan acceptance voting - any pending clans from the last week will be asked to be voted on.
3. Additional voting concerns - any clan or member of the UPCA can bring major concerns to the table for a vote, if it is approved by the Overseer and/or Luminary - it can move into vote.
4. Major discussion, debate and deliberation on the topics from the past week
5. Free speak - each person is allowed to come up a maximum of one time to speak freely to the entire UPCA about issues with their clan or the clan world in general.
6. Conclusion and wrapping up - the Overseer and/or Luminary wrap up the summit until next week.

-

[Voting System:] When key issues arise within the UPCA, we like to solve them with a vote free to all clans and major members of the United Powers - clans are free to abstain from these votes, or participate as they see fit - and every clan holds an equal vote within the UPCA. The voting system is a three branch system - two branches of clans have the ability to vote, and one branch of executives have the ability to vote to veto the subject if both clan branches approve should they see fit - should the subject be vetoed, it can be voted on again by both branches this time requiring a higher number of votes to bypass the executive branch and pass throughout the entire UPCA - more on this system is explained below. FOR A VOTE TO BE PASSED BY A BRANCH, OR FOR A VETO TO BE GRANTED, IT MUST GAIN A MAJORITY (>51%) VOTE.

-

[The Three Main Branches:]
[Consulate Branch:] This branch is made up of the 5 consulate clans within the UPCA - each of these clans holds an equal right to vote in every election. The consulate branch holds the 5 most ‘influential’ or recognized clans within the UPCA, however every clan has the right to vote - not simply these 5 clans. Should this branch pass the subject, it would move on to the assembly branch. Should this branch not pass the subject, the voting would end.

[Assembly Branch:] This branch is made up of the remaining clans within the alliance - each of these clans holds an equal right to vote in every election as well. The assembly branch is considered just as important as the consulate branch, and simply holds clans deemed slightly less influential, but still elite and integral enough to be a major part of the UPCA. Should this branch pass the subject, the subject would move onto the executive branch - should it fail the subject, the voting would end.

[Executive Branch:] This branch holds the special advisors, overseer and luminary of the UPCA within it. If the Luminary or the Overseer sees fit for a ‘veto vote’ they can put one into place. If this happens, the special advisors would vote on the subject, if they vote to veto the subject - it would fail the voting - if they vote to accept it - it would pass into order. If the overseer and luminary do not see it necessary to hold a veto vote, they can simply allow the subject to pass into order.

-

[Voting Subjects:] A vote shall occur if any clan within the UPCA wishes to speak on an integral or important subject to the clan world - if the overseer and/or luminary approves the subject, a vote shall be put in place. This occurs at Summit meetings only for sake of expediency.

[War]: A vote on whether the entire UPCA should go to war with an organization can occur, this is exceptionally rare, as the UPCA prefers to support the clans within it rather than place them into war - should this type of vote be needed - it can occur.
[Clan Acceptance:] Once the UPCA goes into full operational stage, the executive board ceases recruiting clans within the rest of the alliance’s opinion - and a vote must occur for each clan to enter. At every meeting, the pending clans would be stated, and should any clan state they object to a specific clan entering - a vote would immediately be enacted for its entry - should no one person object, the clan would enter unanimously.
[Consulate Transfer:] Should a consulate clan leave or be removed from the alliance, clans can be nominated to the consulate by the executive board - a vote must occur for them to enter the consulate - the remaining consulate and the assembly would vote on the subject.
[Clan Removal:] Votes to remove clans from the alliance can be had in extenuating circumstances, should a clan break UPCA conduct.
[Interclan Conflict:] Should any sort of conflict occur between clans in the alliance - this can include but is not limited to war, diplomatic fallout, admin attacking or the like - a vote on which clan is in the right or has won (in the case of war) can occur - as the UPCA attempts to manage such conflicts internally, votes generally occur on these subjects.
[Extraneous Issues:] Votes on extraneous or miscellaneous issues can also occur should any member of the alliance bring the issue to the Summit meeting.

---

[-3-] Clan Admissions:

[Preliminary Info:] Much of the clan entry information was explained in the last section on voting - however in order to be voted on, firstly you must become a prospective member. In order to do this you must be approved by the Luminary and/or the Overseer or invited to join by a member clan, therefore allowing you to be voted on.

1. [Executive Bypass Method:] The Overseer and/or Luminary can allow clans to join without free vote until operations within the clan are stated as “Fully operational” or fully functioning as a clan.

2. [Voting Method:] The second item on the agenda at each Summit (as stated above) is clan entry voting. Firstly the Overseer and/or Luminary will ask if any clan within the alliance has objection to the prospective clan joining - should anyone have an objection, the voting process as listed above will take action. Should no clan have an objection, the clan would be accepted on principal.

---

[-4-] Ranking Protocol

[Preliminary Information:] People within the UPCA shall either by agents, executives or representatives of member clans. The ranking system within the clan reflects that - 5 represented clans are selected as Consulate clans - the voting system for such is explained above in section 2. Consulate clans have more influence in the clan world than assembly clans, but within the UPCA they have equal influence and have the same rights and opportunities as all other clans within the alliance. The ranks are separated into four sections, those being citizenry, executive, diplomatic and employed.

[Rank 1:] Citizen
[Rank Type:] Citizenry
[Rank Description:] This rank is unable to participate in major UPCA summits and affairs, but can attend official UCPA events - every citizen is screened before entry due to potential infiltration threats.


[Rank 2:] Prospective Member
[Rank Type:] Diplomatic
[Rank Description:] This rank is for clans which are petitioning to join the UPCA - to become a prospective member you must be approved by the Luminary and/or Overseer - or invited to be voted on by a member clan owner. There are no set requirements, simply provisions to become prospective. Prospective Members attend meetings to petition for their entry in a limited amount of time.

[Rank 3:] Agent
[Rank Type:] Employed
[Rank Description:] Agents of the UPCA are generally developers or people whom are deemed beneficial to be within the UPCA - agents work for the clan to progress it in specified ways by the executive board. Agents hold no voting power within the UPCA.

[Rank 4:] Ambassador
[Rank Type:] Diplomatic
[Rank Description:] This rank is for ambassadors (but not owners) of clans represented within the UPCA - the owner of a represented clan is allowed to choose one and only one ambassador to join the UPCA alongside him/her. Ambassadors have all above stated diplomatic rights at meetings. Ambassadors only have the right to vote if their associated assembly member is not in attendance.

[Rank 5:] Assembly
[Rank Type:] Diplomatic
[Rank Description:] This is one of the major branches within the voting realm of the UPCA, this rank holds the owners of every majorly represented clan of the UPCA excluding consulate clan owners - each and every one of the members of the assembly holds full diplomatic rights and the right to vote.

[Rank 6:] Consulate
[Rank Type:] Diplomatic
[Rank Description:] The consulate of the UPCA are the selected 5 clans which are stated to be the most influential in the clan world - these clans occupy a separate voting branch within that realm but hold the same rights as any assembly clan does.

[Rank 7:] Special Advisor
[Rank Type:] Executive
[Rank Description:] Special Advisors advise and assist with the running of the day-to-day operations of the UPCA. They are also able to veto subjects within the UPCA should the Luminary or Overseer request a veto vote - in that they hold specific voting rights, and the diplomatic rights at every meeting.

[Rank 8:] Overseer
[Rank Type:] Executive
[Rank Description:] The Overseer is the second in charge of the UPCA and holds every single right as the Luminary - the Overseer assists in managing the entire alliance and the summit meetings. The Overseer has full diplomatic right, and all rights within the group.

[Rank 9:] Luminary
[Rank Type:] Executive
[Rank Description:] The Luminary is the benefactor or chief of the UPCA, he/she runs each and every meeting and assures operations of the UPCA follow the aforementioned guide and that all regulations are followed.

---

[-5-] Interclan Affairs Management:

[Preliminary Information:] The UPCA also acts as a mediary between clans within the alliance - this means clans within the alliance can have foreign conflicts, go to war and have all of this managed and supervised by the UPCA, an actual winner declared by the UPCA. In addition to this the UPCA manages any unforeseen foreign conflicts via the voting and arbitration process as explained in section 2. The UPCA handles the following interclan affairs:

-

[War Declaration and Management:] Two clans can state to the executive board within the UPCA that they will be engaging in war with each other. The UPCA will then assign a special advisor to oversee this war, declare raid victories, unfair advantages and manage the war fully - the clans within the UPCA give us full right to do this. At the conclusion of the war, the executive branch of the UPCA declares a winner - the loser of the war can appeal this to the assembly of clans, in which a vote would be held concerning the war, with evidence presented from both sides.

-

[Diplomatic Fallout/Conflict Management:] If two clans within the UPCA have a diplomatic fall out and/or a non-friendly war the UPCA can manage this if requested. The UPCA can allow an agent to investigate, and the executive board and/or the assembly/consulate of the UPCA to declare which clan is in the right if need be. The UPCA can manage conflicts such as admin attacking, sabotaging clans, spying or the like. This category covers all extraneous categories as well.

---

[-6-] Member Clan Regulations:

[Info:] Member clans of the UPCA set a certain standard in the clan world and therefore are asked to follow certain diplomatic regulations before joining - breaking these regulations can result in immediate removal from the alliance via the executive board. The regulations are as follows:

1. All wars and conflicts between two clans within the UPCA must be reported to the Luminary and/or Overseer of the UPCA so that it can have a special advisor supervise and manage the war to its fullest possible extent.

2. No clan within the UPCA is to employ exploiting, admin attacking or otherwise sabotaging a clan during war.

3. No clan is to break or otherwise not follow an official vote of the UPCA, all votes are completely democratic and as the goal of this alliance is to further all clans within it, working together and collaborating is the best possible way to do this.

4. No clan is to begin verbal or otherwise emotionally abusive flame wars or cyberbully any other clan within this game

5. All clans are expected to act in diplomatic, collaboration and trust of each other to further the mission of the UPCA - to fully understand the mission we ask you read the entire guide.

---

[-7-] Conclusion:

The United Powers Clan Alliance will set the standard in clan quality on ROBLOX, it will strive for each and every clan within it, it will bring great things to the clans which join - this great thing being true collaboration among clans. A truly mutually beneficial bond will be formed between each and every clan within the UPCA, and through our comprehensive voting system, war management system, interclan conflict management and more the UPCA will truly set a new standard in elite clans on ROBLOX.

The UPCA holds no bias for any clan, the UPCA only seeks democracy, progression and diplomacy on ROBLOX - the mission of success, the mission of the United Powers.

Thank you,

Which would be taken into account and managed by the UPCA - we do have a section supervising wars with the clans within our alliance - so an actual victor can be declared.
