Wumpian Initiative Council

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americanization_(immigration)

The Wumpian Initiative Council is a multinational council of 25 seat members who vote on Wumpa Initiative and Royal Society activities on the Wumpa Archipelago. Though not technically a government, the organization effectively acts as one while preventing any national colonization on the archipelago under the Barros Act. Seat members hold indefinite terms.

Members must undergo an 'Wumpiazation" process before being eligible to join the council. This process that this person shares the society's values, beliefs, and customs by assimilating into the Wumpian culture. This process typically involves learning the English language and adjusting to Wumpian culture, values, and customs. Certain nations have been banned from entering the process, such as China and many Arabian nations. A holiday is celebrated in November when that year's candidates are inaugurated as new Wumpa citizens by the society.

All members receive a standard salary.

Premises
The council usually meets within a small grey room with tall open windows and red borders on the walls and ceiling. The council discusses issues around a rectangular wooden table, with ornate chairs and small pedestals for speakers to address the whole group in monologues. The table also includes a seat for the chairman, perchance they attend any meetings. The room is located within the council chambers of the Washington Building in Fort Brabham, and is named the Birmingham Room in reference to Richard Harrington.

Wumpian Initiative members have the ability to address the council under appointment, after channeling through armed security details.

Election
The electoral process for council members is outlined in the Initiavium Constitution, which is a constitution that contains information for the processes, regulations and standards of the Wumpa Initiative. The council is expected to maintain continuity with the regulations set in that codex. The main objective of elections is to ensure that objectives proceed without hindrance, while maintaining continuity in the aim of those objectives. After a councilmember resigns or passes away, there is an external vote among senior initiative members on who should be the next candidate for council. The top three councils are then presented to the council, who vote internally on who should replace the chair of the previous council member. Councilmembers are usually selected based on competence and accomplishments, but there has been known to be bias in the selection process.

As the council is divided into two wings: administrative and cultural, the candidates are based on how capable they are to fill the void of the duties of that missing seat and maintain proper continuity.

There are no quotas for council membership for anything and neither for according to governments participating under the Barros Act. A single cache containing records of a year's feats and discoveries is added to annually, as well as statistics regarding the Initiative and its constituents. These records are also kept in digital form in the Wumpa Initiative's databases.

Voting
Members can only be elected when there is a vacancy within the council, which only occurs after the resignation or decease of incumbent seat holder. Seat holders are elected indefinitely and may remain seated for however long they wish, provided they remain on the islands and remain active in the society's research on the islands. It is imperative that the council experiences as little down time as possible during elections, and for this reason it is encouraged that councilmembers resign at a certain age. This allows the council to begin the voting process before the official date of resignation. Elections are advertised throughout the entire initiative, although only veteran members are allowed to vote.

When the council votes on candidates, a candidate may only be chosen if its winning vote represented at least 50% of the council. Elections have been spun in the past to favor infiltrating candidates.

Infiltration
Much of the council has been exposed to be influenced and controlled by Edomite interests, with many members themselves being Edomites. It is also believed that some of these members secretly supported Cortex, and at least one was a former corporation member and this is known. These infiltrators have been known to make votes in accordance with their caste, meaning they almost always universally vote for any Edomite candidate.

Duties
The duties of council members involve building a Reich on the archipelago, and the initiative and its council have wholesome intentions are but unknowingly being gradually infiltrated. Many council members are explorers, academics, botanists, and geographers, and seek to further the objectives of these constituencies. Council members are primarily expected to maintain mutual cooperation for all approved operations on the island, and to ensure all constituencies collaborate effectively in order to achieve those said objectives. They are also expected to ensure that the islands are maintained, and that no operations are too excessively dangerous or draining.

The council meets daily to discuss issues, except on weekends, and votes on operations and procedures.
