COUNT ONE
Act of micronational terrorism

1. Law referenced

The law referenced on this Count is Lawbook, Chapter VI, Section L.

L: Terrorism

1. Terrorism shall be defined as the unlawful use or threatened use of electronic violence (spamming, viruses, DOS attacks, etc.) by a person or an organized group of people against the citizens or their property with the intention of intimidating, damaging, coercing, or otherwise disturbing the State or the nation.
2. A terrorist act shall be punished by banishment from the Shirerithian board for no more than two weeks and no less than two days, depending on the seriousness of the attack.
3. If an attack produces extreme or permanent damage, then the sentence can be extended.

2. Legal background

While Elwynn declared itself independent of Shireroth on 5 August 2010, and assumed sovereignty on the same date, the Elwynnese state inherited, in accordance with international norms and laws, the laws of Shireroth in as much as they are applicable in an independent and sovereign Elwynn.

3. The acts

On or about 25 September 2010, did the defendant from the account “Ardashir” on the board of Elwynn, access the administration login, and from IP number XXXXX, delete forum “Lith Adurellion”, delete forum, posts and subforums of “The Elirian Bazaar”, delete forum and subforums of “Ardashirshahr”. The forum “The Elirian Bazaar” included the legislative Congress of the Elwynnese Realm (Anceoman Ríqi Adurellion).

By committing these acts, Raspur used electronic violence with the intention of damaging and disturbing the State (that is, Elwynn).

COUNT TWO
Prevention of the carrying on of government

1. Law cited

Ducal Decree XI, Tveir, Section (m).

Tveir. Without prejudice to the generality or scope of the Powers conferred upon Us by Article Ein We may, by Order, deport any person from Our Most Magnificent Duchy of Froyalan who:

[...]

(m) prevents or obstructs, or attempts or is concerned in an attempt to prevent or obstruct, by force of arms or other violent means or by any form of intimidation the carrying on of any branch (whether Legislative, Judicial, or Executive) of Our Ducal Government or the exercise or performance by any member of the legislature, the judiciary, or the executive or by any of Our officers or employees (whether civil (including police) or military) of any of their functions; [...].

2. Legal background

The Ducal Decree XI was issued by Harald Thorstein, duke of Froyalan (the name of Elwynn during his rule) on 6 January 2008. The highest office of Elwynn then was the duke. He held all judicial powers within Elwynn. With the present regime of Elwynn, it is the people who hold sovereignty and thus their institutions who have a right of deporting individuals.

3. The acts

On or about the 25 September 2010 did the defendant obstruct by the force of arms or other violent means obstruct the legislature of the Elwynnese Realm from their functions by deleting the forum “The Elirian Bazaar”, under which the subforum “Anceoman Ríqi Adurellion" was the legislature of the Realm.

Daniel Farewell wrote:Sir,

I will have to explain: we use the laws, as applicable on a free Elwynn, of Shireroth as they were on the day we assumed sovereignty, just like the United States used English common law, and then developed those English customs in their own way in two hundred years after their independence.

We owe a lot to Shireroth, its laws and culture bind us together. We are Raynor's children, perhaps a bit undisciplined, unfaithful, but we are still Raynor's children.

We have inherited the laws of Shireroth and the duchy of Elwynn. Laws don't get just repealed unless someone repeals them.
