Jump to: navigation, search

The Articles of Creation were written by Erik Mortis at the time of foundation. They are a relic of Shirerothian history, reflecting how much the nation has evolved. Like modern Shirerothian law does today, they place a ban on political parties and set up a probationary period for new citizens. They do differ, though, banning dual citizenship, merging with other nations, and territorial divisions; as well as upholding a long forgotten Bill of Rights. It should be noted that the Articles of Creation have not been in effect almost since they were created.
