Structure
Each member state of the Polynesian Union has an armed forces that is responsible for its defence and is under the authority of its government. Each country has an established military of its own. The purpose of the Polynesian Defence Pact is the multiply the military power of the Polynesian Union as a whole. It is meant to be an expression of their combined power.
The commander-in-chief of the Polynesian Defence Pact is Oaloanu, the Emperor of Polynesia. His role is largely symbolic. As a ceremonial leader, he does not have the power to exercise direct and supreme command outside of the laws and treaties of the member states of the Union.
The Command of the Union is responsible for overseeing the Polynesian Defence Pact and handling its daily operations. It is made up of representatives of each member state of the Polynesian Union. Each member has one vote. They deliberate on matters of the Defence Pact, and vote on issues.
The Commander of the Union is the head of the Defence Pact. He is the operational leader and just highest ranking military official of the entire armed forces. He presides over meetings of the Command of the Union. He represents the Command before the Council of the Union. He prepares and submits an annual report of the state of the Defence Pact before the Council of the Union.
The Chiefs of the Defence Pact are the heads of the branches of the Defence Pact. Each one acts as the operational leader of the branch that they head. They oversee its operations. They represent it before the Command of the Union. They meet in the Committee of the Chiefs of the Defence Pact, to discuss issues and exchange ideas. The Committee is not an official body. It is merely an area to discuss, debate, encourage and advise.
The Council of the Union supercedes any other body of the Polynesian Defence Pact. It is responsible for the political direction of the Defence Pact. Although it does not handle the daily affairs of the Defence Pact, it represents the nations of the Union. Thus it is an extension of the power and rights of those nations. As such it has power over the Command, the Commander and the Chiefs, who ultimately answer to the Council.
Finances
The Polynesian Defence Pact has budget of 120 billion dollars. Each country contributes according to arrangements made at the founding of the Union, according to a proportion of its GDP. The Oan Isles contributes 60 billion dollars, Konoa contributes 35 billion dollars, East Polynesia contributes 20 billion dollars and Asian Pacific Islands contributes 15 billion dollars.
Although technically all nations have an equal amount of votes on the Command and the Council of the Union, the amount of contributions determines the actual leverage a nation has over the others and the influence it has over the force as a whole. The Oan Isles as the largest contributor (contributing half of total funds) has an immense amount of influence over the force.
