===Basic Values===
+
===Preamble===
Eire Aonair's constitution outlines four basic values: community, individual responsibility, fair play/respect, and principles over politics. It identifies independent thought as a main feature of the party and states that free speech, open mindedness, participation in public debate, and honesty should be first and foremost. Essentially, Eire Aonair is outlined as a party of democracy for people with ideas and a willingness to do good.
+
''"Eire Aonair’s purpose is to serve Ireland by creating a united and diverse community. It aims at ensuring a sovereign democratic country based on the national devotion of citizens, loyal in their operations first and foremost to Ireland."''
  
===The Values Concept===
+
===Fundamental principles===
Section four of the constitution is titled "The Values Concept". This section proposes a reciprocating relationship between the party, members, and the community. Essentially: the members do right by the community, they lend integrity to the party, which in-turn helps the party's members to be re-elected and continue to help the community. This idea is simple, but it is considered extremely important and all too easily forgotten. Section five re-inforces this idea by encouraging members to take on personal responsibilities and consider their impact on the community.
+
The first section of the Charter mentions every aspect of Eire Aonair identity. Also it officially includes Gaelic as one of the two languages the members can speak in the common threads, exhilarating the Irish national identity the party embodies.
  
===Balance of Life===
+
===Community values===
Eire Aonair's constitution includes guidelines designed to encourage members to take care of their real lives as well as playing eRepublik. Members are expected to be considerate of the real life commitments and aspirations of other players and to encourage a healthy life style for each other. Members are also advised to pace their in game commitments with the amount of free time that they have in real life for their own sake and for the sake of other players who may be depending on them. Section seven ties into this by ensuring a separation between the party and religious beliefs while also prohibiting discrimination based on religion.
+
Mentions the role every cabinet member has toward the party, as well as the fact that every member who yearns for responsibilities in the community must remain active to show people that he or her deserves it.
  
===Determining Party Stance===
+
===The Party Parliament===
The last section of the constitution states that party stances on current issues can be adopted through discussion. Future party stances developed a system of democratic voting for party stances.
+
The key point of the party's "Renewal" (as the author of the Charter calls it), was to create a parliament that limits the PP's powers thanks to member's vote. Also, it provides the members the unique capacity to impeach the Party President in case of he or her might represent a threat for liberty.
 +
 
 +
===Democratic Shield===
 +
The last section called "Democratic shield" aims at, in a same manner, giving the members a right to remove the Party President from office if he or her does not respect the principles of the Charter. The article exactly goes : ''"If the Party President do not dare to comply with the principles of the Charter without referring the Party Parliament first, Eire Aonair members are allowed to take all measures they might consider necessary in order to remove him from office."''

Eire Aonair is a political party of Ireland. It was founded on March 17th 2011.

This party is centred around individual freedom, value politics, but also a sovereign country.

Communications

Eire Aonair communicates using in-game resources (articles, group private messages & live feed).

Constitution

Since March 2016, the Eire Aonair Charter has replaced the former constitution on the initiative of party president Martinho69 and his cabinet. The charter limits the PP's powers and mentions the member's responsibilities within the party.

Politics

Eire Aonair's principle political values are outlined in their constitution. Additional political stances are decided democratically by the members of the party through a process of proposal and voting. Stances can also be reversed, replaced, or amended through a voting process outlined in section one of each stance. These stances are not partisan commitments, but represent the interests that should be protected by the party's leader in representing the members.

Northern Ireland

In May of 2011 Eire Aonair passed its official stance on the territory of Northern Ireland in eRepublik. [1] The stance outlines that Northern Ireland is legitimately an original territory of the UK where Ireland is defined as the Republic of Ireland rather than the island. This conclusion is drawn in response to ideas of a United Ireland that come from real life history. The stance goes on to say that despite this conclusion, Northern Ireland is still a natural target for Ireland's military since the other two of Ireland's neighbours are historical in-game allies, and Northern Ireland is a border region with Ireland. This stance supports a strategic view of Northern Ireland rather than a fanatical one.

Democratic Practices

In September of 2011 a new official stance was passed by Eire Aonair outlining the democratic expectations of the party for Ireland. [2] The document supports a discrimination free democracy where loyal citizens are encouraged to vote without being under duress or authoritative instruction. It also makes comments on the ideals of logical debate rather than rhetoric or pure propaganda. In addition, the conditions of party support are outlined stating that, "(the) official political support of Eire Aonair for a political candidate does not represent a guaranteed vote from all of the party's members."

External Candidates

In August of 2013 a new policy was enacted in order to provide political opportunities to members of political parties which are not in the top five. Within this document would-be candidates with Eire Aonair who are loyal and active to alternative eIrish political parties are described as "external candidates". Under this policy the discretion of Eire Aonair's leadership is required in determining which external candidates are suitable to participate in this new policy. The reasoning behind this stance, which was voted into effect by the members of Eire Aonair, is to lend a voice to political minorities who would otherwise be unable to find representation in Dail, in the same way that Eire Aonair benefitted from the good will of many top 5 political parties when it was such a minority. It was determined that such a policy was necessary because of the complications presented by the new congress election system, where political parties are voted for rather than candidates. In an effort to take into account the effects of this change the following rules are instated with regard to external candidates:

1. A maximum of two external candidates may be permitted willful priority by the party president of Eire Aonair. 2. No external candidate shall be appointed by the party president a top five spot above any proven member of Eire Aonair.

Within the bounds of these rules the priority of external candidates will be determined in the same way as all other candidates, through the rankings provided by Eire Aonair's leadership board (party president, vice president, secretary general, councillor, and spokesman).

Members

Eire Aonair has been home to many players of various real life and in game backgrounds ranging from anarcho-capitalists to socialists. Dominantly Eire Aonair's members communicate in english and endorse an Irish cultural foundation.

History

Foundation

Eire Aonair's name and symbol (the raven) were inspired by the influences of Eire Aontaithe and its founder Wandering Rian. Eire Aonair was founded on March 17, 2011 by Ian E Coleman. This was after the complete wipe of eIreland in December 2010 that had removed all of eIreland's previous political parties - an event that forced the nation to start over from scratch. Three months after this event, the political scene of eIreland was saturated with new political parties. The high saturation of eIreland's political scene explains the slow growth of the party and much of the continued difficulties that would be faced in the future.

Eire Aonair was founded as a freethinking semi-partisan party - a party driven by principles rather than political ideology that would look for the best ideas from every corner of the political scene. The party would encourage free speech, constructive debate, and smart gameplay. As shown by Eire Aonair's constitution, strong emphasis was placed on the welfare of gamers, encouraging a healthy and supportive community and a balance between gaming and real life.
