It was noted at the last BoD meeting that we didn't have any mechanism for Principalities after removing the language about confederacies several years ago. By request of Forge, I dug into the corporas of Kingdoms that have successfully created principalities in the current interkingdom climate, and referenced them against operational needs of our organization as a 501(c)(7).

Based on what I could best determine, here is my proposal to add that language such that we have a mechanism should it become necessary.

Subgroup corpora Sec. IX sub B. add

4) Principality
a) A principality shall be a park or group of parks that has a minimum unique monthly sign ins of 90.
b) Must be comprised of parks in good standing with the Kingdom for the last 12 months.
c) Must submit a request to form principality agreement which must comply at minimum with the following:
i) A Principality is created for the sole purpose of petitioning the Interkingdom Circle of Monarchs to become a new Kingdom
ii) A Principality must operate as a chapter of Amtgard, Kingdom of the Emerald Hills, INC. and is subject to all bylaws, and mundane laws as applicable to the Kingdom as a whole.
iii) All subgroups within a principality must sign an intent to merge document with the Principality and be released from their obligations under the intent to merge agreement signed with Amtgard, Kingdom of the Emerald Hills, INC. by BoD majority vote.
(1) New subgroups not previously subgroups of the Emerald Hills which wish to join the Principality will only sign the intent to merge document with the Principality.
iv) A chapter or group which intends to petition to become a principality must submit a Corpora to be reviewed and approved by the Emerald Hills Board of Directors which must
(1) Be no less restrictive than the Emerald Hills corpora(s)
(2) Comply with all federal, state, and local laws
(3) Not create conflict with the operations of the Emerald Hills or its subgroups
(4) This initially approved corpora cannot be changed again unless in agreement between a Principality althing and a majority vote of the Emerald Hills Board of Directors.
v) The proposed principality must agree with the Emerald Hills Board of Directors on the borders/region of the proposed principality
(1) These borders after initial acceptance are subject to change only by a supermajority vote (67%+) of the Emerald Hills Board of Directors
vi) A principality and its subgroups will operate entirely within the bounds of their corpora and no members within a principality may run for or serve in a Kingdom office within the Emerald Hills
vii) The sitting Monarch of the principality has a non-voting advisory seat on the Emerald Hills BoD
viii) A principality must successfully register and operate as a 501(c)(7) organization within 12 months from formation.
ix) A principality has 24 months from the initial date of approval to petition the Interkingdom Circle of Monarchs for independent Kingdom Status, in the event that the Principality is unable to do so, the Emerald Hills Board of Directors may grant a 12 month extension to this provision by a supermajority (67%+) vote of the board.
x) Upon dissolution of the Principality for any reason, all parks will need to sign a new intent to merge document with Amtgard, Kingdom of the Emerald Hills, INC. and will return as new subgroups.
(1) The Emerald Hills holds no obligation to sign any intent to merge agreements with subgroups not contracted with Amtgard, Kingdom of the Emerald Hills, INC. prior to the formation of the principality, and these parks would revert to freeholds.
xi) Any additional agreements that are determined to be required for elevation to Principality not covered by this Corpora shall be clearly defined in a contract signed between the principality and the Emerald Hills Board of Directors
xii) Any disputes between the Principality and Amtgard, Kingdom of the Emerald Hills regarding limitations or allowances will be decided by majority vote of the Emerald Hills Board of Directors
