Classification Code



In United States of Antarctica law, the concept of Classification is a rigid and very important statute that is specifically needed to preserve the security of the USA and the security abroad.

It was enacted in 2000 around the nation's founding and amended later on to include policies regarding the AIA. The PSA proudly displays the original copy of it in G|G's Gadget Room, as the message that will self destruct in over two hundred eighty five years.

FEDERAL LAW:  THE 1337 BILL REGARDING GOVERNMENT SECRECY AND CLASSIFICATION  AS DRAFTED BY THE PWNSOME SOUTH POLE COUNCIL  MARCH 3RD, 2000.

ARTICLE ONE: Reasons to Necessitate This Law

 * WHEREAS, the Government, in times of necessity of the Greater Good, needs to protect events and documents in the name of national security.


 * WHEREAS, there are some things folks just shouldn't know about.


 * WHEREAS, creatures throughout the Nation perform embarrassing or controversial methods and acts which should be hidden from the public's eye.

ARTICLE TWO: Explanation
AS SUCH, the South Pole Council hereby enacts a code of government scerecy and hierarchy restricting the access of documents depending on their threats to the Greater Good and to National Security. This law is on a Federal Level and is therefore applied to all states and jurisdictions belonging to the USA.

Any and all federal branches can request classifications, but only the Penguin Secret Agency and Bureau of Fiction cronies, as well as other laws, can actually classify documents.

Upon classification, only those with the proper security clearance can access the documents.

ARTICLE THREE: Classification Ranks
This document hereby establishes the Ranks used in the Classification System.

SECTION ONE: Universe Preservation (UP)
An item classified as UNIVERSE PRESERVATION is an item so important to society, Antarctica, or the VERY EXISTENCE OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF, that, if declassified, could actually DESTROY THE UNIVERSE AND EXISTENCE. As in, POOF, WE WOULD ALL BE GONE.

Most UNIVERSE PRESERVATION items are either hallowed, powerful, sacred, or are physical laws fundamental to the very being of everything. Messing with UP items can result in major catastrophes involving the mis-coordination of the universe.

No clearance can be given on UNIVERSE PRESERVATION, and only hallowed, higher powers can ever know of these things, as well as those who stumble over it on a need to know basis. Masters of the Universe hold Holy Clearance (HC), also called Deity Clearance (DC).

By COC standards, UP items and the Masters of the Universe are the closest legal thing to a deity in our realm, the Masters themselves being classified.

FURTHERMORE, Masters of the Universe and those with Deity Clearance can only read UP items on a need to know basis. If the Master doesn't need to know it to do their job, they won't learn it.

If anyone discloses a UP item in an unauthorized manner, they will be deleted ASAP if caught. THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!

SECTION TWO: Top Secret (TS)
An item classified as TOP SECRET could, if declassified, potentially DESTROY the country! It is a dangerous and grave threat to national security, so hush!

Only those with ÜBER CLEARANCE and above can read and access Top Secret Files.

ÜBER CLEARANCE can be handed out by the Director of the PSA, the President, and various, ahem, Bureaucrats.

SECTION THREE: Just Plain Secret (S or JPS)
An item classified as JUST PLAIN SECRET can severely harm national security. Things such as weapons that the public shouldn't know about and the like are under this.

Only those with PWNSOME CLEARANCE or above can read and access JPS files.

Those in the upper ranks of the EPF automatically get PWNSOME CLEARANCE. Normal EPF Elitists recieve other forms.

PWNSOME CLEARANCE can be handed out by the Director of the PSA, the President, Elitists, and various, ahem, Bureaucrats.

SECTION FOUR: Confidential (C)
An item that is CONFIDENTIAL could somewhat "damage" national security or scare the public. All PSA Agents have the clearance (AGENT CLEARANCE) upon joining and all PSA and EPF Agents can give anyone the clearance for any reason other than personal gain.

SECTION FIVE: Noobs May View (NMV)
By default, everything, including this law unless classified, is under the NOOBS MAY VIEW category.

Every creature in Antarctica automatically has the NOOB CLEARANCE simply for existing.

NMV items are everything not classified and can be viewed by the public in any shape form or fashion, including the Internet. For example, your face is NMV (unless under something like witness protection), as is your mom and your name (again, unless under witness protection or safety).

Conclusion
SHHH!!!

-ENACTED BY THE SOUTH POLE GRAND KRYTOCRATIC LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, MARCH THIRD, YEAR TWO THOUSAND.
