Shireroth

Because we have been lacking in a Minister of Information for the past couple months or so, and because of its history with the Ministry of the Interior... I propose reconsolidating the Ministries of Information and the Interior into one Ministry.Also, as the jobs of these Ministries are vague, I propose adding a couple clauses regarding duties.As Is:Quote:VI. MinistriesA. Minister of Information.The job of the Minister of Information shall be to keep the public of Shireroth informed of all matters of state that have been made public officially. ...G. Minister of the InteriorThe Minister of The Interior shall be vested with the power of maintaining all official forms of national communications.Altered:Quote:VI. MinistriesA.

The Minister shall also be vested with the power of maintaining all official forms of national communications.1. The Minister of the Interior shall be vested with Administratorship over the Shireroth board, and shall use such power for the purpose of maintainance.a.

Aye (4) GoldshireThank you Joseph for proposing this Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

hey, what can I say? I miss my old job *winks*Which reminds me... there was something about Ministers not voting on the merits of their own job... I wonder if my vote should be thereby discounted?

Worse... the Charter...Quote:Article II: Landsraad.Section C: Members of the Landsraad.The Landsraad shall consist of the Nobles of Shireroth. Nobles may pick their own successor from among those eligible by birthright. Should no heir be available the Kaiser shall appoint the next Noble. The Kaiser has the power to create new Duchies and other Sub-Divisions, as he/she sees fit. Only the Landsraad may remove a DuchyÂ’s seat from the Landsraad, thereby disbanding the Duchy completely and redefining the lands as necessary. The Kaiser has the power to reshape the borders of any Duchy, or other Sub-Division, as he/she sees fit. Only Ruling Nobles or Emissaries appointed by a Ruling noble may vote within the Landsraad. Ministers of Shireroth may speak within the Landsraad but may not vote on just the merits of their office alone.hrm... I guess this means I should add Alex to the Landsraad mods...in the meanwhile, is anyone else going to vote on this?

That bit means.. Nobles can Vote and speak here. And Ministers may speak here, since some things involve them. BUT Ministers can't vote on the merits of that office alone.. meaning.. A noble who is a minister may vote.. but JUST a minister.. can't.. Alex may speak here, but has NO vote... Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

So if I get this correctly... by Zirandorthel's method, the vote would have been over yesterday, but since he's not here, I'm going to let this vote ride until the end of the day since it's such a controversial issue at... what was the score again?y-n-a = 16-0-0Eh, screw it... this passes...But... since I'm only a stand-in... Zirandorthel or Erik may do the honors of editing it into the Lawbook... don't want to put our beloved Prætor out of a job ; )*stamp of approval* Phoenix the Risen - Dutchess of Kildare - Political Nuisance but at least She gets the job done. - Official Genkher of Gryphon Avocatio's Cool Short Sig and Gryphon the Pure's Awesome Tables! - COME BACK, STEVE!!! -"To quote a former Kaiser....

Whoops, time to get off my tusch and actually put this in the LawBook! Thanks, Deputy, for totting it up and everything.Hmmm, reading it, though, it sounds like whichever poor schlob that is Minister of Information is giving themselves a hard time. A page of information for every citizen?? Or would you just copy and paste the census stuff? Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

Proly just copy and paste.. and I guess people could always make their own page... Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

Note I said Maintained, not necessarily Updated. I'm not volunteering to write them myself, but if they are there, or if someone submits one, I will put it up and keep it up. I might even offer to help out with css or html styling in general... but that's a definite maybe.
