| == Imperial Proclaimation MVI 1: Ascension to the Throne. ==
| |
|
| |
| I Mors VI hereby ascend the throne of Shireroth and I have a few things to say.
| |
|
| |
| First, despite the requests of some, and the expectations of others, I will not be reverting the flag of Shireroth to the True Flag. My reasons are many. If the [[Landsraad]] took the initiative to reinstate the proper flag of the nation, I would support it, but I will take no action myself to do so.
| |
|
| |
| Second, Yardistan, I believe, still owes taxes. I have not forgotten about that. It really ought to do so.
| |
|
| |
| Third, Ministers still need to tell the Landsraad about their budgetary needs.
| |
|
| |
| Fourth, There may be large changes coming to the way we do nobility. I am still in the discussion phase with various people in the IAC at this point. If the changes occur there will be more room for people to advance, more opportunity for new folks to make a place for themselves, and more room for politics. I'm excited by what is on the drawing board, but it is no were near ready yet, and may never be.
| |
|
| |
| Fifth, We will need a new Steward. I would like the Landsraad to elect one. I will likely allow any choice they make.
| |
|
| |
| Sixth, during my reign I will leave it to the Landsraad to fill any vacancies in Ministerial positions. If a position is required immediately to be filled, I will place a provisional minister until the Landsraad can either confirm or elect a new one.
| |
|
| |
| Seventh, I feel we should work to improve our relations with [[Antica]]. For to long has this silly and petty rivalry between our nations stood. I charge the MiniEx with appointing an ambassador, or themselves, to review any agreements we have with Antica and to present them to me shortly. As I don't believe we have much of anything with them, I will charge the MiniEx/Ambassador to begin negotiating a meaningful treaty of friendship and mutual cooperation with the Antican government. I recognize this sounds rather nebulous, and that's where the 'meaningful' comes in. Let us find common cause and ground that we can work toward together.
| |
|
| |
| Eighth, I will not brook meaningless 'rebellion' under my reign. If a noble has legitimate issue with myself or my policies, they should bring them to my attention. I've been the meaningless rebel myself in the past, and I learned how useful and in fact damaging such behavior can be. So if you have issue, take it up with my in conversation. Otherwise, you better hope you have sufficient support to back your rebellion, otherwise I will revoke titles or lands.
| |
|
| |
| Ninth, I desire for the Duke to complete the county census I started as Steward shortly ago. This is important to my plans, and you would not like to no complete this documentation.
| |
|
| |
| Tenth, Nobles WILL be active under my reign, or they will find someone else bestowed with their title.
| |
|
| |
| Eleventh, I am pleased by the reformation and activity I saw recently in the Landsraad, and would like to see the Landsraad take a more active role in the governance of this Empire. The Landsraad is for the nobles to take their place as rulers in this nation, beneath the Kaiser. It's about time they took that into account.
| |
|
| |
| I realize that some of my attitudes upon taking the throne may seem, draconian and harsh, but it is the job of the Kaiser to give the nation direction and a firm hand at the tiller. It is also the job of the Kaiser to listen to the nobles and the general will of the people, and in this respect I will never punish someone for voicing a complaint respectfully, or exercising the powers and rights of their position.
| |
|
| |
| May the grace of the Gods shine upon Shireroth.
