2.0. Terms of the Lease
2.1. In the event of the aforementioned resolution being passed by the Commonwealth Assembly the Minister of the Exterior shall be instructed to communicate to the Primate of the Small Commonwealth the terms of the lease we are proposing as set out in the attached schedule;
2.2. The Minister of the Exterior shall be permitted to negotiate with regards to the length of the lease and the nature of the Tymarian Special Administrative Region but in regards to all other particulars this is our stated and unchangeable position.
3.0. Enabling Clause
3.1. Any further issues arising from this shall be clarified by Imperial Rescript, deriving authority from this decree.
