One of the main roles of the Chairman is to recruit new members. However, the Chairman must do so under certain guidelines. These guidelines are;
The nation must have a rank of forty on the Diebold Scale
The nation must have forty Martin, Jr. Units
The nation must reside in the North Pacific
Sign the necessary application
Sign the needed “Oath of Membership”
To be admitted into the Democratic Union, a simple majority of member nations must vote aye on their membership. After a two day debate period, followed by a three day vote period in which a majority is reached, the Chairman may approve membership, or choose to veto the membership request. Nations may reapply in three months time from their previous request.
If a nation that does reside in the North Pacific does not meet any of these requirements, the Chairman may temporarily admit the nation into the D.U. on probationary membership if they chose to following typical membership protocols. The nation will have a two month period for them to gain the necessary requirements needed to officially join the D.U.. If the requirements are not met by this time, the nation will be ejected.
