0rizen is a Low-Secure Space corporation that also supports Empire Space activities. It was founded by Chimoue and Yllej Gniht as a cooperative. Very soon after, 0rizen evolved progressively into a deliberative democracy. Many diplomatic steps were undertaken by Chimoue in the first few months of 0rizen to secure it as a Providence Region resident. 0rizen has moved out of the CVA-Holder influence on the 25th of August, 2009. Currently, 0rizen is still growing and is in the process of getting its 4 divisions as autonomous as possible.

History

Early Beginnings

With its proximity with both Penirgman and Amarr systems, Etav was a system of choice for our Headquarters. To avoid being station-camped in the eventuality of having a war declared on 0rizen, an office was openned in the Jesoyeh system, not far from Etav.

0rizen, at this point, constituted of a few select pilots that were mining and doing third level missions. Recruitment efforts were undertaken by Chimoue to bring these numbers over twenty. As 0rizen's pilots became stronger and bolder, 0.0 scoutings were undertaken.

0.0 Scoutings

Soon after its creation, 0rizen was looking to expand its activities and engage into meaningful PvP. The Providence Region was known to be a relatively 'safe' region for neutral capsuleers, so scoutings inside this region were executed. Most of the scouting was done by Chimoue and he initiated diplomatic talks with some of the smaller Alliances inside Providence.

The Last Stand

After acquiring some confidence with the 0.0 environment, 0rizen joined The Last Stand in their 0.0 endeavours. At this point, 0rizen was growing steadily and it's political structure was taking shape rapidly. After a very short while inside The Last Stand, 0rizen needed to expand even further. Chimoue initiated diplomatic discussions with all CVA-Holders to find the right Alliance for 0rizen; Aegis Militia Alliance showed promise and space for 0rizen to anchor structures in 0.0 territory.

Aegis Militia Alliance

Soon after 0rizen's inclusion within Aegis Militia Alliance, calculations were made to establish a first POS within these territories. A few months after, 0rizen is running multiple POS meant for Research, Invention, Manufacturing and Moon Mining.

0rizen does not hold any special role or responsibility within Aegis Militia Alliance. However, due to 0rizen's nature (being a deliberative democracy), it has been very active within the inner political discussions of Aegis Militia Alliance.

Privateer Alliance War

As of June 27th, 21:30 EVE Time, Aegis Militia is at war with Privateer Alliance. Current intelligence on the matter suggest that Privateer Alliance targets Corporations and Alliances of sufficient size as to entertain their Empire Space PvP-oriented careers. It is not believed that Privateer Alliance has any political agenda. Privateer Alliance retracted their war on the 3rd of july 2009 at 14:14 EVE Time.

Continued Growth

In August 2009, 0rizen has grown as the biggest corporation of Aegis Miltia Alliance. Growth is still going on and the 0rizen leadership still continues to accept applications weekly.

The Great Migration

Leaving Aegis Militia

As of August 24th, 2009, 0rizen is no longer part of Aegis Militia Alliance. For the entire week before, discussions and votes were undertaken by the entire 0rizenese population.

Reasons for leaving Aegis Militia

A very strong majority were for the move due to political and ideological discrepancies between the 0rizenese population and Aegis Militia Alliance leadership. Like most other Alliances in New Eden, Aegis Militia Alliance was a gerontocracy in which 0rizen did not believe.

Liquidation of assets

0rizen and its members, planning on a very big move of multiple jumps, decided to liquidate all corporate assets and most of personal assets. BPOs and BPCs were kept, and the rest was sold on the markets. 0rizen will rely on its Industry Division to replenish all corporate and personal assets once settled into their new location.

Migration

The 25th of August 2009 is the day 0rizen has moved. All members moved their personal belongings to Orvolle - Placid Region. This system will be the last stop before getting to the final destination of the 0rizenese population.

INQUISITION.

Joining a new alliance

After discussions with INQUISITION., the 0rizen population settled and decided to join this Alliance. As of the 27th of August, 2009, 0rizen is part of INQUISITION.

Migration to EF-F36

The 0rizenese population moved all assets to EF-F36 through the Orvolle and Vestouve pipes into Syndicate. Some critical assets have been moved through JumpFreighter contracts, but a majority of the assets had been liquidated in Providence.

New life in Syndicate

0rizen is still settling in Syndicate and it is still in the process of learning the trade routes, the 23/7 gate camps and the names of the terrorist corporations.

Striking out on our own

Leaving INQUISITION.

Without prior notice, INQUISITION. Alliance booted out 0rizen on the September 8th, 2009. Official statement of the INQUISITION. Executor at the time was that, by unanimous vote, the other INQUISITION. CEOs did not think that 0rizen was fit for living a life in Syndicate.

0rizen, being at the time around 35% of the population of INQUISITION., thinks that the Alliance Leadership couldn't bear the fact that 0rizen was having a democratic political structure.

New objectives

From this date on, 0rizen does not have plans to join any other Player Alliance. 0rizen's leadership as well as a strong majority of its population does not want to be under a dictatorial rule in another Alliance. If 0rizen joins another Alliance, it will be because this other Alliance is democratic in nature.

Move to the Enka Constellation

After leaving INQUISITION., 0rizen was looking for a place where both High Security and Low-Security Space could be found nearby; 0rizen thus moved to the Enka Constellation.

Joining the Militia

Beginning on the 21st of September 2009, 0rizen is now part of the Amarr Faction Warfare Militia.

It is believed that this new alliance will provide everything that 0rizen needs for the time being.

Political Structure

Deliberative democracy

First off, 0rizen was meant to be a cooperative. However, experience and knowledge of the CCP Mechanics of Corporations made that concept near impossible to operate. These thoughts evolved and transformed themselves into a constitutional monarchy that maintains a deliberative democracy and submits itself to its decisions.

Members are strongly encouraged to participate within 0rizen's inner political life to the level they feel comfortable with. Members often ask for new policies, votes, polls and the likes. All in all, 0rizen encourages a hierarchy that is very horizontal, compared to military organizations which are very vertical.

Constitution

0rizen has a player built constitution that has Rule of Law over every member. Here is 0rizen's current constitution:

• 1 -> Members will not engage in piracy against non red factions and/or organizations;
• 2 -> Members will not engage in activities that might be detrimental to 0rizen's reputation;

Ministries

In order to grant all types of activities to its members and to render itself more or less autonomous, 0rizen has 4 Ministries with their respected Ministers and Officers. Here are 0rizen's Ministries:

Combat Division

All ratting events, PvP operations and other combat related activities are organized and maintained by this Ministry.

Industry Division

All mining events and manufacturing efforts are organized and maintained by this Ministry.

0rizen's Industry Mailing List

From july 2009 untill september 2009, 0rizen Industry maintained a mailing list system to have a way to fulfill orders of items. It has been abolished due to the low participation into this mailing list. Instead, the Industry Officers who manufacture items are responsible to put them on the market as well.

Operations Division

All ice mining events, POS fuelings and freight runs are organized and maintained by this Ministry.

Science Division

All BPOs, BPCs, Research and Inventions are organized and maintained by this Ministry.

Taxation and Services

0rizen has a standard 20% tax per the CCP Mechanics (taxation on bounties and mission rewards). This set percentage was enacted by popular vote of 0rizen's members.

Furthermore, all tax money is re-allocated to the 4 divisions and all wallets are fully transparent; that is, every member can see where the money goes, what is 0rizen's pocket money, what are it's expenses and profits, etc.

0rizen provides to its members access to POS installations of all sorts. Laboratories and assembly lines are available for members without much waiting lines. The scientists or the industrialists are usually very appreciative of the many laboratory lines and assembly lines at their disposition.

Recruitment policy

Every applicant to 0rizen must be at least 21 days old and must not be in an enemy corporation. Moreover, every applicant's Limited API Key information must be cross-referenced for possible association with enemy corporations, to prevent espionnage and security leaks as much as possible.

Due to the Faction Warfare mechanics, we need all applicants to have an unmodified Amarrian Faction Standing of at least 0.5.
