Dramilian Federation Blacklist

The Dramilian Federation maintains a list of accused criminals in an effort to encourage compliance with corporate policy. A database containing the master copy of this list is administered by the Crime Investigation Sector of the Dramilian Federation.

Policy Violation Procedures
When Dramilian policy enforcement officers suspect that an individual has violated a policy, the individual's name and identification number are immediately added to the blacklist. Notification of blacklisting will automatically be sent to all residences on file with the Dramilian Federation, and a notice will be posted on all hypernet channels registered to that individual.

Life On The Blacklist
Once an individual has been blacklisted, they lose access to all Dramilian Federation services, both free and paid. This includes insurance, public education, professional certifications, product certifications, and safety inspections, as well as food products and hydrogen produced by the Federation. They are also banned from purchasing goods and services from any business that enforces the blacklist. Most businesses enforce the blacklist, since operating a business that does not enforce the blacklist results in being blacklisted. While blacklist enforcement is technically voluntary, widespread adoption during the early days of the Federation effectively guaranteed majority participation for the entire foreseeable future.

Living on the blacklist tends to be both challenging and dangerous. A small black market exists to cater specifically to blacklisted individuals, but without any oversight or certification by the Dramilian Federation, fraud and unsafe products abound.

Blacklist Appeal Procedure
After being blacklisted, an accused individual may immediately begin the process of appeal. They must attend a series of hearings in which the Federation will attempt to prove beyond all possible doubt that the accused policy violation occurred. Both sides may present physical evidence to support their claim, but witness testimony is not accepted. Once all evidence has been reviewed, a panel of Federation-appointed judges must reach a consensus that the violation occurred in order to uphold the accusation. If they are unable, the accused will immediately be removed from the blacklist. If the accusation is upheld, the accused will have the option to remove themselves from the blacklist by paying a fine or providing a service to the Federation. Sentencing is determined by policy and depends only on the specific violation. Prior violations by the accused and individual discretion by the judges are not a factor. An accused individual does not need to appeal immediately, and in fact may do so at any time, but they remain on the blacklist indefinitely until an appeal is filed.
