Shireroth

Despite the state of rebellion against the last four Kaisers of Shireroth, Dolor has ever remained an active and loyal member of this nation, contributing to its success and well being. Dolor, despite numerous pronouncements of rebellion, has always fulfilled its obligations and duties to this nation.

With the institution of Imperial Decree #425, this state of mock rebellion can no longer continue. The complete and utter disregard shown by the Kaiser for the history, traditions and people of this nation cannot stand. The replacement of the oldest symbol of the nation has forced our hand in this matter.

The current and ever lasting state of mock rebellion that has been continuing until this point is hereby terminated. Until such time as Imperial Decree #425 is amended or repealed to preserve the original, traditional and proper flag of Shireroth, and Kaiser Leto III steps down or is removed from the throne, Dolor will be in a true state of insurrection against the Kaiser.

This state of insurrection shall include a complete Boycott of ALL official and unofficial duties toward the empire. Dolor will cast one last Landsraad vote in protest against the flag and then no others. All official positions including Arbiter and Small Commonwealth Representative shall be ceased. No further technical assistance in regards to the financial institutions of the nation will be given. Any other position or duty not mentioned shall be included. This boycott shall also extend to Dolor's duties and responsibilities within the Duchy of Brookshire.

When a new Kaiser sits upon the throne and the flag of Shireroth is restored Dolor shall once more take its place in the nation and pledge loyalty to the throne, not a moment sooner.

Dolor calls upon any, and all, duchies and fiefs to join it in rebellion and boycott of the government of Leto III.

Signed,
Erik Mortis
Earl of Dolor.

Parvatvana in Goldshire hereby joins the rebellion. No developmental work shall occur within the barony. Parvatvana shall cease to debate and vote on the floor of the Landsraad, excluding measures involving reversing Imperial Decree #425 and/or the removal of the Kaiser. Further, I shall cease to advice the Kaiser in the IAC on all matters again excluding reversing Imperial Decree #425 and/or the removal of the Kaiser.

I thank you for your support Harvey.

Very well, after looking at the flags and the flag of Macedonia, I have reached similar conclusions. Although I haven't been around long enough to fully appreciate the current flag, as you all know, I am a lover and defender of tradition.

Harvey, get ready to lead the Order of Vajra in Battle. For a variety of reasons, Khorze's forces will join you and Goldshire will rise up in support.

Don't forget the boycott of all duties and responsibilities to the government of Leto III.

More interesting then elections. Yay, just what I needed.

Wait... this was an ultimatum?
Let me be clear: I will not abdicate.

With this, the revolt can cease, as Goldshire's demands were essentially met. Removing the Kaiser is not one of my goals.

Splendid, Lord Mejorkhor. Would you be so kind to remove your armies from the Imperial County's borders?

The armies will stay for now, in order to ensure order and the correct unfolding of events.

nevermind this post.

All seems well, I will have my armies withdrawn.

I haven't decided if I ought continue with this real rebellion or return to mock rebellion...I can't in good conscience swear loyalty to this Kaiser.

You never did... since 4 Kaisers ago. So would it make a difference?

If you got dethroned...
