Argus Corporation [ARGUSCORP] - Organizations

History

Founding of Argus Corporation

Argus Corporation was founded on the principle that absolute power should not be given to only one person, and to this day they still stand on that principle. Argus Corporation is not ruled by anyone, it is based on an election system of government that prevents anyone from taking too much power over the organization. There are currently six divisions within the organization, each controlled/operated by an Executive Officer whom is elected once every three months. After the three month time period has passed, new Executive Officers are voted into power by all members of the Corporation. Elections are held just like in real life, anyone in the Corporation is allowed to run for office for any of the six divisions, and they will then start campaigning and gaining followers in our forums. You can see all six divisions and descriptions of them in the Manifesto section.

Role of the Board Members

While almost all power in the organization is divided six ways between the elected Executive Officers, there needed to be a system of checks and balances. The Board Members serve as a sort of council, if the Board thinks that an Executive Officer is abusing his/her power or not doing their job, then the Board can start a vote to remove the Executive Officer from power and the election process will start again for that position.

The Board is the only one who can purchase ships/land/property with Corporation credits, however, Executive Officers can petition the Board to purchase anything that their division needs. Board Members will never use Corporation credits for their own personal gain, all Corporation credits go to the betterment of the six divisions.

The Board is the only one who can officially declare war on another organization, however, that does not mean you cannot attack another organization, it just means that it is not “officially” supported by the Corporation. The War Division can petition the Board to declare war on another organization.

In conclusion, Board Members have No Power over the decisions of the Executive Officers. The Board can vote to replace an Executive Officer, but only if it is determined that the Executive Officer is not active or not representing their division by creating events and activities for it’s members.

Role of the Executive Officers

The Executive Officers are the elected officials who are elected once every three months by every member of the Corporation. There are six different divisions that can be run for, and the Executive Officer who is elected into a certain office has complete control over what activities the division will be doing, and it is the Executive Officer’s responsibility to create events and group activities for their division. The Board Members have no power over the Executive Officer’s activities, but if the Executive Officer is not active and not creating events and activities for their division, then the Board can vote to replace the current Officer. It is the Executive Officer’s responsibility to represent their division and to create fun events for it’s members.

In conclusion, the Executive Officers are the Elected officials who control their division and it’s activities. There are Six Divisions in total, with one Executive Officer per division. Elections are held once Every Three Months.
