This is to help rehabilitate criminals. They will learn a useful skill and pay back their society for the crime they have committed against it. Article 3: Beyond slavery, moralistic law shall not be enforced by the Dauntless, such laws shall be left in the competent hands of the proper authority governing the individual member state.  But the following shall be considered capital offense in the lands of the Dauntless.  Murder, which shall be defined as the slaying of another individual outside the boundaries of warfare, and not in self-defense.  Rape, both physical and mental rape which shall be defined as the forcing of one’s self upon another shall not be tolerated by any means.  Treason to the Dauntless nations is punishable by death.  Article 4: In the lands of the Dauntless, extradition shall be in effect between all members, and criminals cannot seek amnesty within the lands of Dauntless, to flee the authorities of one member nation to another nation of the Dauntless.  This is in the happenstance that perhaps a criminal flees justice by retreating to a land where the laws do not abolish the actions of the criminal.  The criminal will be detained, and returned to the member nation to be tried under the laws of his respective nation.Article 5: Member nations of the Dauntless are well within their authority to make any non-military alliance or treaty that they wish, with exception of Military alliances or treaties.  Under this article extradition treaties may be made at the leisure of the member nation with non-member nations.  The only exception to this policy, are those nations considered embargoed or under sanctions by the Dauntless as a whole.  Then all non-military treaties or alliances are the purview of the Prime Minister, and the Dauntless as a whole.Article 6: The Dauntless shall appoint a Supreme Commander, whose role shall be the defense of the Dauntless lands as a whole.  The Supreme Commander is the absolute authority for all matters of security both domestic and abroad, as they apply to the member nations.  The Dauntless shall also appoint a Prime Minister, whose role shall be the welfare of the member nations, and the purview of all matters of government outside of military concerns.   Both the Prime Minister and the Supreme Commander speak for the Dauntless, and shall be elected members from within the Dauntless, though in extenuating circumstances, they may simply be appointed, if the situation is warranted.Article 7: The Dauntless shall enjoy free flow trade of economical support, information, and cultural ideals.  It shall be the will of this document to promote trade between the nations of the Dauntless.  In addition, each member nation of the Dauntless has a responsibility to defend their brethren, within their means.  Mutual defense of our interests is the primary concern of the Dauntless.  To commit to war the resources of the Dauntless is under the purview of the Supreme Commander.  Military pacts are the purview of the Dauntless as a whole, not the member nations.  Such strategic alliances shall be made with the consent of the Dauntless Prime Minister and the Supreme Commander.Article 8: This document is a living document, and may be amended by member nations by vote of the member nations or the Prime Minister and the Supreme Commander’s consent.  In addition, these articles give the member nations jurisdiction to vote on matters not herein contained, thus giving them the power to change and amend as needed, as new happenstances arise. It shall be the will of this document, that the Dauntless prevail…</blockquote>
