Multi-National Transit Authority

I hereby move for the creation of a multi-national transit authority to oversee matters of rapid transit between the separate nations of the world.

For the initial forming of this organization, I request signoff from key members of the two major nations of the world, Creeper Canyon and New Asmodae. It is my belief that these two nations will provide enough pull to establish such an organization and allow it a proper starting point to spread.

Additional installations and nations will be free to join later, without the need for approval, provided they agree to abide by any guidelines set by the authority at that point. If some of the guidelines are not acceptable, exceptions can be made but must meet the approval of the active existing members.

Charter

Unimpeded transit should be a natural right of those on the server. The transit authority will exist to further this cause. The authority will not make any rules outside the bounds of insuring safe travel between participating regions, and will not enforce rules on anyone not within range of an existing transit hub.

New rules regulations, and changes to existing ones, must be approved by a majority of member nations. The same group representing multiple hubs will be considered one nation for this purpose.

Initial regulations

A region is considered a self-sovereign member of the authority if it meets the following criteria:

• Has a single portal to the Nether.
• Said portal is located 1024m (blocks) from the nearest portal.
• Said portal (world side) is safe and able to act as a hub for the surrounding area.
• Said portal (nether side) is safe and connected by powered rail to at least one other hub in the transit authority.
• Each hub (world side portal) is available to use by all.
• Each hub (world side portal) is quickly accessible to the surrounding areas, preferably by rail, but this is left to the discretion of each nation. Additional methods of access (more rail lines, etc.) must be provided (or allowed) at the request of others in the area. This will allow each hub to service the area between hubs.

Rights of nations in the authority

Nations in the authority have the right to disable or destroy any portals within their region (1024m radius from the hub). In exchange for this power, nations should take reasonable action to provide access to their hub to all needing access. This does not require nations to lay rail for others, but to accommodate such rail as needed by others.

Joining the authority

As covered in the above, joining the authority is automatic if the above criteria are met. Nations wishing to join the authority do not yet have the right, as seen by the authority, to shut down interfering portals, and should make appropriate negotiations with those already in the to shut down any existing portals and / or find a mutually beneficial location for the hub. We do not want this to become a land grab, hubs should be shared resource.

Requested action

In order to form this authority, I would like the approval from the following individuals (representing the nations of New Asmodae and Creeper Canyon as well as transit work done close to the spawn point and between existing hubs:

• Nova (representing Creeper Canyon)
• Zerm (representing Creeper Canyon)
• Kaizoku222 (representing New Asmodae)
• Meradudd (representing transit work done in the span area and between exiting portals)

Please feel free to discuss and suggest changes, and offer your approval of such an authority.
Thanks,
Nova
