First Proclamation Of The Republic

[Republic of Salvus 118]

 

A decorated sheet with blue edges and light yellow dots is distributed around Salvus to all that wish to take one.

 

~FIRST PROCLAMATION~

-Of the Republic-

 

 

People of Salvus, your voice has been heard!

The ideas and issues that were given last season (Year 1506) have caused the Salvian Authorities to act upon the following subjects:

 

-Bearing Arms-

-Tribune Campaign-

-People's Council-

 

The following announcements are also attached to this proclamation:

 

-Company Tax-

-Lottery-

 

And various other changes.

 

-Bearing Arms-

 

A long debate was given was on this subject and neither side was able to reach a consensus.

It has been decided that both sides of the argument will convene and form a party that will campaign and debate over the subject. A general vote amongst the populace will be held to see which party view is held to the highest account. The turnout of this vote will affect the Inner Chamber's outlook on the bearing of arms.

 

-Tribune Campaign-

Two out of three candidates have accepted to run for Tribune! Giliath Haldar and Josiah Elendil are both expected to begin their campaigning very soon. They will be voted in by the Outer Chamber and the Inner Chamber combined so express your view to your Syndic should you be in the Syndicate, your Sentinel should you be a Peacekeeper or Curator should you be a Bard.

-People's Council-

 

It was agreed upon during the meeting that similar meetings should be held every four elven weeks. This new legislative body has made The Republic a tricameral entity. The meetings are now to be known as the People’s Council and it falls beneath the Outer Chamber in power. Its purpose is to bring forward issues considered by the populace straight to both the Inner and Outer Chamber. A crest for the new council is currently being made.

 

Joint Announcements

 

-Company Tax-

 

After much deliberation by the Syndicate, tax to run business within Salvus has been set at a base 100 minas. The amount is subject to change based upon how well the outlook of the company has been during the fiscal year. Due to this, all income books are due by the end of this fiscal year ((May 9th)). If the Syndicate fails to procure a income book from a company due to lack of logging and nothing was stated to an Overseer about it, the Syndicate will have apt cause to seize the company.

 

-Lottery-

A lottery has been proposed and has been handed to the Syndicate to organize. The base prize pool is set at 200 and will be increased with each person who buys into the lottery. A person can enter into the lottery by buying in for 100, they can then buy one extra slot to increase their chances of winning by paying an extra 25 minas. Once the prize pool has reached 1000, the percentage of minas which goes into the prize pool will be reduced.

Current minas in pool: 750

Percentage to pool before 1000: 100%

Percentage to pool after 1000: 50%

Persons in lottery: 3(2)

 

The lottery ends in a Saint’s week from next Saint’s day. ((May 15th))

 

-Economics and Events-

 

Syndics are required to report to the High Overseer about planned events and Institute projects over the rest of this Saint’s week and the next.

Projects:

 

Aqueduct & Dam (Issued by the Government)

 

7 Undisclosed (Issued by the Government and the Syndicate)

 

-New Salvian Bards Guild Rules/Laws-

 

The Bards guild has brought forth a reformed version of the joining process. This new method allows for a much easier time of joining while keeping quality high - not to mention that it promotes good work!

 

~

- One must produce 5 works (Singing, drawing & writing; if any other ask the Curator.) of any kind to be fully accepted into the Guild.

 

- One must write a paragraph on what Enlightenment means to them.
 

- These can be in any time frame, but no payment for works will be given until this is complete.

- All Guild members will go through a 1 week grace period, during this time period you will go through peer review. Through this we will learn what your motives truly are. If you are considered to be of anti-enlightenment in anyway we will be forced to take action. Your actions will be talked through with either the Curator, or Co-Curator and reported to the Inner Chamber. After which is a warning, after two your Guild application will be revoked, and denied.

 

-Suggestion Boxes-

 

A minor proposition established after the first meeting of the People's Council. The suggestions put in these boxes will go straight to the Inner Chamber so that they might sort out what has been proposed. Orders for extra locks are also to go here.

The men of Oren remember back to the days of Salvus' Martial Law.

 

They miss those days...

Sam smirks slightly, folding his arms across his chest.

 

"Lottery, eh?"

[Peter Chivay 2494]

(( Your republic looks pretty well done and unique, you've certainly peaked my interest.

August de Montfort hears of the proclamation and reads it over, frowning and thinking, "This is very well done, I'm quite surprised a Republic is working in humanity."
