If the offense is a major crime, punishments may and will be decided at inter-regional meeting places. These places are the RM2 Association Board and The Mighty Alliance. This is to ensure that a fair punishment is made.

 * Inappropriate use of RMB. (Flaming, spamming or discriminating)
 * Not following warnings of senior members (Founder, Viceroy, Deputy Viceroy)
 * Doing appearance-shaping things without permission

Major Crime Examples:


 * Continuation of minor crimes after warnings/punishments
 * Espionage
 * Violating site rules
 * Raiding in the name of Laraniem without permission

Section VII: Adjustment of the Constitution

For the Constitution to be adjusted, certain requirements must be met to follow through with the changes. The only nations qualified to make the changes are the Founder or Viceroy of Laraniem. However, if a nation is unhappy or does not agree, they may request a Viceroyal Commission. This will allow them to present their opinion to the Laraniemian Council, trying to persuade them to make the decision to change it. It is up to the Founder to make the final decision.

Section VIII: Laraniemian Council

The Laraniemian Council is a council formed up of nations picked by the Founder to represent the region. The Council will act as a court when a court is needed. Council members do not have to be an elected parliament member. Council members are not appointed in admin, as they are more of a representative team. The static amount of members in the Laraniemian Council is three (not including the Founder). Members do not have to be World Assembly Members, but it is preferred.
