Law 1 Higher-ranking Vaktovians must be referred to as ‘Sir’ or ‘Ma’am’, Generals as ‘Lord’ at all times. The Emperor must be referred to as 'The Emperor' in discussion and as ‘Sire’ or 'My Emperor' in conversation.

Law 2 Vaktovians must ALWAYS be professional this cannot be stressed enough. Though there are many ways to define maturity, we look at immaturity as whether a Vaktovian is behaving in an appropriate manner depending on the situation. This means messing around in places like a raid or defense will not be tolerated, and a strict, serious attitude is required at all times.

Law 3 Vaktovia must be your primary group. We are not a second option group, we are a full dedication, we are an obligation. If you do not realize and appreciate this, then you are not worthy of our ranks.

Law 4 A lazy Vaktovian does not deserve to be a Vaktovian. An inactive soldier who no longer seems to care for the group will be removed, regardless of rank. Inactivity will have a zero tolerance attitude. A soldier who does care about the group would be smart enough to let a General+ know of his/her coming inactivity.

Law 5 The use of faces is highly limited and prohibited. Faces such as xd, :), :D, :3 are good examples of those that are banned. Certain faces are acceptable however, such as -- and >> it is encouraged that you to refrain from using them on an excessive level when on duty.

Law 6 Grammar and punctuation. Vaktovians and VAC units are expected to present themselves well in all aspects, including that of speaking. Full grammar and punctuation is expected to be used when on duty. Full stops, capital letters, commas, etc, fall into this category. You are also required to spell to the best of your ability, so that there are less miss-communications.

Law 7 Never surrender. Vaktovians would rather execute themselves than be taken as a prisoner. This shows that we are not weak, and are willing to fight until the bitter end.

Law 8 Respect. Not just those above, but those below you. Respect is something that brings us all together as a community and as an Empire. We are all united, so we should all treat each other as if our lives depended on it. You should not go around starting arguments and making grudges between your fellow soldiers, for they will be the person you fight with when in action.

Law 9 Vaktovians are NEVER to use all-caps. The only exception to this rule is Officers who are trying to make their orders clear, and unmissable.

Law 10 As a Vaktovian, you are never to leave a raid, or a defence unless explicitly told by an Officer+ that it is acceptable to do so. If you are required to leave for real-life reasons, or you happen to disconnect, you MUST let the Commanding Officer of your server know at first given opportunity.

Law 11 Vaktovians are required to speak in teamchat at Raids, even if bubble-chat is the only form of communication available. Vaktovians must appear completely silent to the enemy whilst an offence or defence is taking place

Law 12 Raiding/Defending against the Empire is strictly forbidden. Anyone attempting to do this will be pronounced a traitor and dealt with in accordance.

Law 13 Online partnerships are strictly forbidden between two or more people who are both members of the Empire and/or VAC. ‘Dating behavior’ such as holding hands on-duty OR off-duty is also not allowed. This is to maintain a professional group environment and to prevent future drama or bias between our members.

Law 14 Negativity and sarcasm (even as a joke) in all areas of Vaktovia both on and off-duty is no longer tolerated and will be met with a strike if evidence is shown of even a single negative comment from after the date of this post. HOWEVER it is of vital importance you clearly understand what ‘negativity’ is defined as. It is not to be confused with simply disagreeing with someone or pointing out a flaw in something. Being negative is not the same as criticising. Someone who is being negative is someone who is unnecessarily non-constructive, someone who comments and thinks about why things or people are bad instead of how to make things better.

Law 15 No groups/discords/communities outside of Vaktovia may have more than 25% and/or 20 Vaktovians military personnel in it unless officially sanctioned by the High Command in the following exception list:

- Well established groups and divisions not owned by The Vaktovian Empire which have facilities in place such as forts, training places and uniforms (TNI, Robine, RSF etc.)

- Groups created for the purpose of bringing clans together (GCC, SBN etc.)

Anyone trying to create a loophole around this law  will result in the law to be lowered to 15 members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within the Empire exist De-Facto Laws, these laws are not found within the Written Laws in the Codex. These are common sense, and should be adhered to without needing to be explicitly told not to break them. De-Facto Laws include, but are not limited to:

-Killing a comrade without reason.
-Exploiting/Cheating.
-Breaking the Terms and Conditions of Roblox.
-Crouching on a body.
-Not following valid orders issued.
-Don't spam in chat.

-------------------------------------Lines & Formations--------------------------------------

1 stud spacing, Alignment, Filling from right to left, and rank order (on ceremonies and rallies)

RxC = Rows X Coloumns

STS = Shoulder to Shoulder and is infinite.

Standard line up = X10

When forming a new row, Always have 4 studs spacing from behind and infront, (Full avatar width)

When forming a new formation (For example when a 2x3 gets filled) you make a new one beside with 6 stud spacing (2 Arms and 1 avatar worth of studs in width)


------------------------------------RRR & COA-------------------------------------------------

RRR = Remind Record Report

Remind = If one of your comrades breaks one of Vaktovia’s laws, you are to immediately remind them of which law they have broken. This is a reminder; however, if they do not heed to it and continue to break the law, begin collecting evidence and move onto Record.

Record = If a person in question has broken the law repeatedly after being reminded, you must take it upon yourself to begin collecting evidence. Ensure that your reminders are part of this. Evidence is not exclusively limited to video, the four options for recording incidents are: video recordings, screenshots, audio, or three witnesses

Report = After the evidence is collected, the next stage is to report the lawbreaker with evidence to the appropriate person who can handle the situation. This is dependent on the lawbreakers rank within VAC/VAK.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COA = Composure Obedience Accord (There is a certain way that Vaktovians are expected to act, and Cadets should adopt this mentality as well if they wish to progress within the Empire.)

Composure = Knowing the right time and place for when and how to act.

Obedience =  Following a valid order from a superior without hesitation.

Accord = The importance of respecting your comrades and getting along.

------------------------------------On-Duty Specifications:------------------------------------

1 - When present on duty, you are expected to follow ALL the rules and regulations at ALL times. There are no exceptions.

2 - Nobody is above the law. If you see somebody breaking one of Vaktovia’s laws, rules, or regulations, you are to enact the Remind, Record, Report system (found in the Rules and Regulations section of the Index).

3 - Your uniform and hat wear must be perfect.

------------------------------------On-Duty or Off-Duty:---------------------------------------

1 - If you are in any official Vaktovian uniform, you are on duty.

2 - If you are at any Vaktovian-related facility or base, you are on duty.

3 - With regards to Discord and other instant messaging services, if the Officer/Vaktovian you are confining with states that the chat is on duty and Vaktovian matters are being discussed, then you are to treat it as on duty. This is to prevent framing due to one party seeming to break the on duty specifications.

4 - In terms of Vaktovian events, the extent of how you act at an official Vaktovian event is obviously dictated by the organizer; however, if the event is in relation to points 1 and 2, then you are on duty.

5 - Community Discords: As a Vaktovian, regardless whether VAK is your primary or not, you are always representing the Empire and should do so in a suitable manner. Incessantly starting drama or causing problems will not be tolerated, particularly within community discords.

------------------------------------Attire Conduct I--------------------------------------------
Section I- Uniform Etiquette:

1 - When you are at a Vaktovian facility, or a Vaktovian related event, you must wear your correct uniform, unless the event itself warrants otherwise.

2 - No matter where you may be- when you are in your Vaktovian uniform you are on duty.

3 - You may never alter the uniform, or wear unapproved T-Shirts over it.


------------------------------------Attire Conduct II--------------------------------------------
Section II- Regulations:


1 - All Packages are banned from being used on-duty, no exceptions.

2 - Any hat combinations that do not fit our theme, color-scheme, or are otherwise regarded as unsuitable are not permitted.

3 - All hair is banned. This includes black girl hair, a revision to the previous clause of this rule.

4 -Skin color for cadets of the Army Corps must be Medium Stone Grey. For Vaktovians, White, Grey, or Black is acceptable.

5 - You are not to wear faces that show happiness, or signs of immaturity. Faces that show an angry/evil/neutral emotion are permitted. If an Officer orders you to remove a face, you are to remove it and never wear that face again on-duty.

6 - If you are unsure if your hat(s) are suitable: ask an Officer, or use some common sense.

7 - If you are in doubt, remove it. If a fellow soldier believes your hat combination is unsuitable for Vaktovia, then ask an Officer before you continue wearing your combination.

8 - If an Officer deems your hat combination to be immature, you must trust in their judgement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------INDIVIDUAL RANK INFORMATION-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRIVATE: A Private is considered a freshly graduated soldier of the Empire. Their primary focus is to establish their dominance as a Vaktovian soldier, proving themselves capable in adhering to disciplinary standards and their expected combat efficiency. This is used as a transitory rank from the halls of the Academy to the forefront of the Empires main ranks.

Privates do not have the ability to join specific organisations. Instead privates should focus on proving they have mastered everything they were taught in the academy and displaying it now as a role of model Vaktovian.

A Private may advance to Private First Class by proving themselves as an upstanding and courageous combatant for Vaktovia.



PRIVATE FIRST CLASS: A Private First class is considered a Vaktovian Trooper who has proven themselves to embody the principles and ideals of a Vaktovian should exhibit on the battlefield and at home, presenting a good example for cadets to look up to. The primary purpose of a Private First Class now branches off to allow them to purely prove themselves as a fighter for the Empire, or to provide other skill-sets to the Empire.

Private First Class has the ability to join Vaktovian Army Corps Staff alongside the Vaktovian Internal Affairs Community Department and begin making a name for themselves outside the battlefield.

A Private First Class may advance to Lance Corporal by proving themselves as an upstanding and courageous combatant for Vaktovia and/or by contributing to the Empire through working in either the VAC Staff or VIA Community Department.



LANCE CORPORAL: Lance Corporal is whats considered a Senior Trooper who has proven themselves as a fearsome combatant or as a devoted individual keeping the gears of Vaktovia moving from the ground up.

Upon reaching Senior Trooper, an individual now has the ability to give direct orders to regular Troopers and their seniority should be recognised by their subordinates. At this rank, Senior Troopers become eligible for selection to the Royal/Palace Guard.

A Lance Corporal may advance to Corporal by providing consistent and above-expectation contribution to Vaktovia through their service in VAC Staff and/or the Community Department. As well as maintaining a strong presence as a soldier on the field.



CORPORAL: Corporal is the second and final stage of what is considered a Senior Trooper.

Corporal members may apply to join VLA course and earn their way into becoming an NCO throughout a month long trial. Basic applications should be submitted to the VOC Command. Additionally, the rank of Corporal+ may apply for the position Lieutenant through VOS, only when the Legate Council deems VOS open.

Upon Reaching the rank of Corporal, a Senior Trooper becomes eligible for the position of Examination Officer in VAC Staff. This position is hand-picked directly by VAC Management.



SERGEANT: Sergeant is the first stage in the Non-Commissioned Officer bracket, and forms the basis of our field commanders, answering the call to raids and defenses.

After achieving the rank of Sergeant, an individual can host raids, defenses or consequent training's for these events. At this stage, Sergeants may begin to take command authority over all subordinates.

A Sergeant can be promoted to Master Sergeant through continuing to progress under the oversight of VLA Sergeants who prefer to take on non-combat intensive roles must prove themselves as an extremely competent asset to the Empire's machine in other means, these are classified as "good works". For Example, this may be achieved through proving themselves as the most dedicated Trainer in the VAC Staff for a consistent time period.



MASTER SERGEANT: Master Sergeants are seasoned field commanders and the final members of the NCO bracket.

Master Sergeants acts as another transitionary rank (like Corporal) to ascend to the  rank of Lieutenant through VOS. Master Sergeants are given preferential treatment in VOS as a result of seniority and great contribution to the Empire. Only in situations where a Corporal is very overqualified in comparison to Master Sergeants in the VOS system would a corporal be chosen otherwise.



LIEUTENANT: Lieutenant is the first step into Officer ranks. An individual has proven themselves as a respected senior field commander or extremely proficient in other means, and have taken the next step in their career. As a Lieutenant, individuals undertake more responsibility and authority within the Empire as administrators alongside commanding in the field. The primary role of an officer is to continue to host raids and defenses, while getting used to taking on junior administration roles within the group.

A Lieutenant may be assigned to intermediary level responsibility within Vaktovia, such as taking on the position of Head Trainer in VAC Staff.

A Lieutenant can advance to the rank of Senior Lieutenant through proving themselves a capable asset to the administration of the Empire through any assigned responsibilities they have, as well as/or continuing to prove themselves as an extremely competent field commander, working in tandem with NCOs for larger scale occasions such as leading invasions.



SENIOR LIEUTENANT: Senior Lieutenant is the next step in the chain of being an officer. They have proven that they can effectively be both a field commander and an administrator. They are given more administration work than Lieutnants.

Individual can now join the Vaktovian Internal Affairs Blacklist Department, the Medal Council or VOC.

A Senior Lieutenant can advance to Captain through continuing to prove themselves a capable asset to the administration of the Empire.



CAPTAIN: Captain is the first stage of Senior Officer. After reaching Senior Officer individuals can begin to take leadership roles within divisions/departments of Vaktovia.



MAJOR: Major is the last stage of Senior Officer. They have proven themselves deserving of an extreme amount of trust, respect and admiration.

After achieving the title of Major, individuals become eligible for the positions of VAC Management or taking on the position of Head of VLA, working alongside the Promotion Department to determine which NCOs are worthy of promotion.

The rank of Major acts as a final transitionary period to the prestigious position of Legate, which is hand-picked directly by the Legate Council at their own disretion. Majors may be elected to the position of Colonel when Legate Council deem necessary, for example when creating a new department/sector within the Empire that requires a direct leader, to replace a retiring Legate, or to replace a Legate taking on new responsibilities (such as promotion to General).



COLONEL: The position Colonel is the first rank within the Legate Council. The responsibility of each Legate is to oversee their respective sector of Vaktovia day-to-day and ensure every member is acting accordingly, ensuring the best interests of Vaktovia moving forward. Likewise, legates are expected to work together as part of the Council and make major decisions about the group that will constantly keep the Empire moving in a positive direction, commonly done through Legate voting to draft changes to the Empire.

To ascend to General and into the High Command, a Colonel must be hand-picked directly by the High Command to replace a retiring General, replace a General ascending to the rank of Supreme General, or upon the creation of a new branch of Vaktovia overall (fpr example, the creation of the Divisional Command).



GENERAL: Generals wield an extreme amount of authority over the Empire as a whole, and as a result act as the public face of Vaktovia. A General's primary responsibility is to lead an entire section of the Vaktovian Empire, these currently being Vaktovian Internal Affairs, Vaktovian External Affairs/VOC, or the Vaktovian Divisional Command.

To ascend from the rank of General is to serve in the highest calibre of Vaktovians in ten years of history. This position is hand-picked by the Emperor.



SUPREME GENERAL: Supreme General is to act on behalf of the Emperor, commonly reffered to as the Emperor's Second in Command. The Supreme General is responsible for making decisions on behalf of the Emperor when he is not available. As a result, the role of Supreme General is to oversee the direction of the entire group.



EMPEROR: The Emperor is the ultimate authority within the Empire, capable of taking executive action within the group as he deems fit at any time. The authority of the Emperor is unquestionable and infinite, and is directly responsible for overseeing the direction of Vaktovia as a whole and overseeing the Vaktovian High Command.
