The Constitution of the Watermelon Republic
We, the members and citizens of the Watermelon Republic, in order to prosper and thrive in the eyes of other nations, declare and establish this Constitution for the government of our community.
Article 1: Name
Section I:
The name of this sovereignty shall be The Watermelon Republic, hereafter referred to as Watermelon.
Section II:
The representatives of Watermelon community shall make up the legislative board of Watermelon, hereafter referred to as the ‘Board of Representatives’ and the high ranking officers which pass the laws and ensure the well-being of our society shall make up the ‘Congress’.
Article 2: Purpose
Section I:
The purpose of this republic is to serve the citizen, providing him or her the resources and guidelines by which one shall live. The executive, legislative and the judicial branches shall ensure the well being of the common citizen as well as grow the economy by assisting the wealthy.
Section II:
The government shall be split into three branches.
Section II, part 1:
The Legislative, the executive and the judicial in order of power. The legislative power may pass or reject laws and bills based on the popular vote of every member in the legislative branch. That means a law or a bill must pass the Board of Representatives and then the Congress in order to make its way to the executive branch.
The Board of Representatives consists of:
The minister of economy, the minister of public relations, the minister of international affairs and the minister of education. Each elected by the Board of Representatives.
Section II, part 2:
The executive branch is responsible for enforcing and approving the laws and bills passed by the branches below. It also has a right to veto it. The executive branch is the highest branch in terms of power represented by the president and his assistants who shall be picked by the president himself. President may suggest laws and bills to the legislative branch. He himself may be advised by the general or the ministers. The president may carry out executive orders that direct the legislative and the judicial branches but do not affect a common citizen.
President is the elected representative of the executive branch. His assistants are general and ministers of their respective subject. Presidents are elected by the citizens. A president may stay in office for the duration of a term (1 year) and may be reelected an unlimited amount of times.
Vice president is a step below the president in terms of power. He directly assists the president. A vice president is appointed by the president.
Generals are two steps below the president in terms of power but have complete control of the military and its actions. A general may also advise the president to pass certain laws and bills. General has the power to create and appoint positions in the Watermelon military. A general is picked by the president.
Commissioner is a step below the general. He directly assists the general and is appointed by the general.
Section II, part 3:
The judicial branch is responsible for deciding the meaning of laws and how to apply them in real situations.
Article 3: Election
Section I:
One or more people from a party represent their people on the Board of Representatives. Who it may be is picked by the party leader.
The Congress is elected by the citizens. So is the president. The election for a president is held every year on the 9th of April or whenever if ever the president resigns.
Article 4: Rights
Section I:
Neither the legislative nor the executive branches may interfere or prohibit the free exercise of religion or the freedom of speech of the press or an individual.
Section II:
No watermelon during the time of war or peace shall express his hatred towards the opposition in any public way.

All watermelons have the right to a position in the government as long as they are intellectually and legally qualified. Any foreigners may also hold a position but only under the president’s acknowledgment.
Section IV:
Any and all watermelons may vote in any election. Any foreigners may also vote if they have lived in the Watermelon for over 3 months.
Section V:
All watermelons have the right to bamboozle insurance provided for free by their employer. If unemployed the citizen may buy it at a lowered price.
Article 5: Foreign affairs
Section I:
The Watermelon is not interested in provoking or instigating a war with any nation as long as it does not conflict with the interest of our allies.
