Introduction

Count Benjamin Noblen would enter the parliament of Dronen and call the parliament to order, he would welcome all attendants of the Dronish government to the second parliament of the County of Dronen.

Minister of Defence - Defence Update

The Count would first issue a formal call to the minister of defence to make an update on Dronish defences.

The Minister of Defence would leave his seat and deliver his speech to the parliament.
“Although the state of our internal defences has remained the same since the last call to parliament, it seems as though the bandit attacks on Dronen are lessening. I hope this means a respite in the constant violence for our community, but we cannot be certain. Therefore, I am continuing to remain vigilant in my duties in order to work to improve our defences. Regular guard training will take place among the few guards we do have, and I plan to order scouting reports of the area surrounding Dronen to

keep constantly updated on the ever-present dangers surrounding us.”

Minister of finance - Finance report

Secondly, Count Benjamin Noblen would call the minister of Finance to present a financial report of Dronen’s finances.

The minister of Finance would leave his seat and make his way to the middle of the chamber, he would then begin his report

“I am here to tell more about the finances of our loving city. To be honest there is not much to say, I will just say it, all our money was needed for the upgrade of our borders” Jaonos would’ve paused “This was a huge investment but it got us more land and soon enough more strength.” Janos would’ve looked serious “But now we have one issue, our population is too low, does anyone have any idea of how to raise our population” Jaonos looked around the room. “I have one on my own, we need to organise a festival and advertise it everywhere at this festival there will be a stall selling houses so we will gather more population, I would like to get your opinion about this”

The Count would invite the Secretary of Business to voice his opinion. The Secretary of Business would leave his seat and address the house: “Aye, a festival is a good idea. I was thinkin’ we ought to have a market festival at the end of every grand harvest day. An’ fer that we need to work with our farmers... Which we lack right now.” Anfroy would then resume his seat.

The Count would then invite the Secretary of Labour to voice his opinion. The Secretary of Labour would leave his seat and address the house: “So it’s my turn? Well, what I thought of first was a festival as well. But another thing I wonder… I think it might be up to you, benjamin, to make connections with other nations. Here’s the thing… Keep in mind that we are a moderate small to large scaled settlement that’s quite secluded and as Iskandar says with little to no guard force. We are yet quite unknown, as well. So here’s the thing, we’d need to get connections with other nations and settlements in order to create a name and spread it”

The Parliament would then start to go into somewhat chaos and the Count shouted them to order. The count would then say “We stall move onwards”

Janos would’ve shouted “objection” The Count would once again shout order and say “This matter may be proposed once the schedule of the parliament is fulfilled”

Secretary of Business - Economic report

The Count would invite the secretary of Business to make his speech on the Dronish economy.

After some confusion on Anfroy’s face, he would begin to deliver his speech to the house: “Oh… Well, Dronen’s businesses are in need of upkeep. However, we do have the potential to become a valuable trading hub. Our goal as business owners in Dronenn are to contribute to the expansion of business through taxing. We plan on building five new stalls atop the hill just outside of our original city walls. And I believe, two stall-homes and a tavern outside b the gates. That’s all I have to update on for now”

Prime Minister - Charter of Government Proposal

The Count would address the parliament “I shall now propose to you all the minister section of the government charter” The Count would then ask “Do we have any concerns or questions on this proposal” No member of parliament showed any concern nor questioning and therefore this proposal was moved to voting and was passed with: 5 ayes and 2 abstentions.

Secretary of Business - Business Tax Proposal

The Count would invite the Secretary of Business to present his proposal to the house.

The Secretary of Business would’ve left his seat and issued his proposal to the house “I propose 20% of all business taxes on stalls goes to building an auctionhouse. This will help us open trading opportunities and bring people in for shopping.”

No concerns nor questions would’ve been asked and the proposal moved to voting it would be passed with: 6 ayes and 1 abstention.

Minister of Internal Affairs - Regular Events Proposal

The Count would invite the minister of internal affairs to present his proposal to the house.

The Minister of Defence would stand and begin to deliver his proposal to the house “As I mentioned, we lack citizens. I think the way to solve this problem, is through entertainment, like the festivals which were earlier proposed, but also a good tavern, and maybe tournaments of some sort. People will want to do something here, otherwise, they won’t come. If they’re settled in, we can ask them about joining our forces, or help grow our business.” 

The Count would question “And so you propose we host regular yearly events?”

The Minister of Defence would’ve swiftly responded “Yes, I do. More events, festivals, tournaments… More to do in Dronen”

No more concerns nor questions we’re addressed around the house and the proposal was moved to voting it passed with: 5 ayes and 2 abstentions.

Minister of Justice - Proposal of Conscription 

The Count would invite the minister of justice to present his proposal to the house.

The Minister of Justice would stand and begin to deliver his proposal to the house “I heard we lack soldiers? Maybe I have a way to solve that. We provide people with a house, walls which protect them, and stalls they eat from. People should do somethingin return. Work. What if we would force people to work for Dronen. As a Guard or Businessman, whatever that would be. Something that fits them, and helps us. Forced labour for our dutchy, but the free choice of what to do.”

The minister of defence stands and voice his disapproval of the proposal “Men of the parliament, what Morando here is suggesting is to force the citizens of Dronen to work, either in the military or otherwise. I contest that such an action would be an inherant violation of every man’s right to choose for themselves! Such tyranny would do nothing more than drive away what few citizens we currently have, which would only serve to worsen the problems we now face.”

The Count would address his concern “I believe that conscription will only further damage the Dronish economy”

The Secretary of Labour would voice his opinion “I think you understood wrong? Was it not that he suggested that in return for a position within the settlement they can choose themselves, they could get a house and such in return?”

The Minister of Justice swiftly responded “Exactly, Rhadien. People work for us, and in return, they’ll get a life here, and safety by us”

The minister of defence shook his head with disapproval addressing the house “I think taking such a path is a slippery slope. Today we force people to work, tomorrow we say they can only work in a certain position, and as the future progresses, the oppression of people will only grow.”

This proposal would be forced to a vote and ended contested with 3 ayes, 3 nays and 1 abstention. The proposal is now scheduled to be debated and re-voted in the next session of parliament.

Secretary of labour - Proposal to Delay Oren Vassalization

The Count would invite the secretary of labour to present his proposal to the house.

The Secretary of Labour would stand and begin to deliver his proposal to the house “You should all be aware of something. Well, we all know there is a new lord-protector-emperor or something like that… Tell me… How many of you know the Ashen Sigil, Blackhill and the sugarfoots?”

The members of parliament would stare at Rhadien all addressing him they have never heard of these groups.

The count would ask “And what is this proposal Rhadien?”

The Secretary of Labour would continue to address the house with his proposal “I’ve heard the conversations pass in Helena… The new protector-emperor wants to get all of these groups under his power and make them his army however, all of these groups are enemies of every nation here. The decision of the emperor will push his empire to the brink of collapsing. Hiring the most hated bandits and enemies of Oren, vassals will depart and turn against him… My proposal is to not engage with Oren just yet. Wait for the right timing… Because with the upcoming decisions and the war between orcs.”

The minister of Justice would provide his questions to Rhedien “Those Blackhills, and Sugarfoot's… Are they as bad as the Lorraines too?”

The secretary of labour swiftly answered “Lorraine were the ones who tried to betray their own emperor and declare war on an imperial vassal… The Sugarfoot's are feared bandits and the blackhills were once known as the reivers. The Ashen Sigil recently attacked haense and now they are Haense number one kill on the list”

This proposal would’ve been pushed to a vote and passed with 6 ayes and 1 abstention.

Following the previous proposal, the parliament voted to end the second session of the Dronish parliament. The count would then dismiss the house.

Introduction

Count Benjamin Noblen would enter the throne room of Dronen and call the parliament to order, he would welcome all attendants of the Dronish government to the first parliament of the County of Dronen.

Minister of Defence Speach

The Count would first issue a formal call to the minister of defence to make an update on Dronish defences.

The Minister of Defence would leave his seat and deliver his speech to the parliament.
“Well, gentlemen, I’m sorry to say the defence of Dronen is in a sorry state, mostly due to a lack of guards willing to serve” The Count would’ve shown a face of disgust by the failure of his Defence minister.

The minister would continue to deliver his speech

“Banditry along the road has increased, along with civil dissidence from our own citizen” Iskandar Smythe would’ve glanced at Cyneric Maeson. Cyneric Maeson in return would’ve stared penetratingly at Iskandar.

The minister would continue to deliver his speech

“I am doing everything in my power to remedy the situation, including tasking my own son with some of the lesser duties of a guard and training him up to become a full-fledged warrior of Dronen” Iskandar would’ve shaken his head ”But at some point in time, the defence of the county must be left to the hands of people: willing volunteers ready to risk their lives”

Minister of Justice Speech

Secondly, Count Benjamin Noblen would call the minister of justice to update the parliament of the progress of Dronen’s laws.

The Minister of Justice would begin his speech.
“Regulation is an indispensable foundation which without, can lead to the ruination of a civilisation. Alas, the effectuation of relevant requirement for the endurance of Dronen is non-existent… To begin with, there is no established legislature which engenders every transgressions within this wall legals. Therefore, your ineffectiveness in executing your duty, Count Benjamin. Portrays yourself as an incompetent leader of which your credibility, or lack therefore, has eroded our confidence that we can ever become a settlement worthy of remembrance. Thus, with the obnoxious comportment which we here all cognisant is not salubrious to the aspired development of Dronen… Of you, I referred to.. I have supplicated for sain’s week.. And here i am with the ministers of the government.. I would implore to all of you to endow upon me your confidence and aid me to be ascended to become the Count of Dronen and lead you all the achieve and not stray. From our objective, to make Dronen great again.”

Iskandar Smythe would’ve jumped to his feet and shouted: “What you’re suggesting is treason!”

Cyneric Maeson would go around the parliament asking each member of the parliament to stand with him in the coup. Each member refused.

From here Count Benjamin Noblen would stand and drew his sword he would shout: “Men of the chamber Cyneric Maeson has just attempted to coup the County of Dronen, you shall be placed under arrest.” The parliament would then stand in unity and drew their swords, The minister of Defence and guardsman Morando would go in to arrest Cyneric Maeson on charges of High treason. After much of a struggle, Cyneric Maeson would’ve shoved a sharp object down his throat killing him.

After such events, Count Benjamin Noblen praised his parliament for there loyalty and condemned the actions of Mr, Cyernic Maeson, he would then dismiss the house.
