RME ORDER The Law, Rules, and Government we live by

  PREAMBLE

    In the course of time, people of any race, ethnic group, or religion, feel it necessary to establish a written code of law, that will set the foundation for a great nation. RME is no different. In many of our members clan careers they have found that a common lack of leadership is the biggest problem in a clan. This Order is a guide of leadership to prevent that lack of leadership permanently. This is not only a government outline, but also a guide of how we act in combat, and in civilian life. RME is not a rouge organization, for left-wing partisan separation from our home lands. We put our ethnic background behind us, we all belong to our respective homelands, that we cannot take away, but we are all RME, and as long as we are all RME, we follow these codes of law. By agreeing to this order, we understand that the consequences involved in violation of any of these rules will be followed through, and if serious enough, we will take our punishment with the idea in our minds that the offense we did was wrong. By being part of RME, we agree that the powers discussed in each rank are fair and realize that every power assigned is for the commonwealth, welfare, and well-being of RME as a clan, and its members.
