The charter is the official document outlining the policies, procedures, and rules of !F. It dictates a democratic environment in which all clan members have a say. It also outlines the powers granted to administrators and the safeguards in place to prevent the abuse of said powers. Finally, the clan charter explicitly states the rules regarding mandatory donations, current costs, and the policies regarding recruiting.
