Imperial Census, 1737

[Icarnus 1669]

 

THE IMPERIAL CENSUS, 1737

 

---

 

With the publishing of the Edict of Establishment of 1736, a flurry of bureaucrats belonging to the Ministry of Civil Affairs are dispersed throughout the Empire. Their objective is simple: to find and enroll as many men as is possible, and to register them to vote in Senatorial Elections, a great privilege bestowed upon the people by the actions of the Lord Protector. All Imperial subjects are obligated to take the census, as per the orders of the Lord Protector. Additionally, all leal vassals which pledge their fealty to the Imperial Office are bound by oath to administer the census within their demesne.

 

SECTION I: THE IMPERIAL CENSUS

 

The following matters shall define the purpose and extent of the Imperial Census.

 

• The Imperial Census shall be administered throughout the Empire for a duration of ten year periods, beginning in the year 1737.
• Upon the completion of a census period, the rolls of citizenship shall be cleared, and a new census administered to which subjects are obligated to take.
• All Imperial subjects are obligated by law to take the census, and sworn under oath to the truth of their responses.
• All leal vassals which pledge their fealty to the Imperial Office and hold Letters of Imperial Peerage are henceforth bound by oath to administer the census within their demesne, and forbidden to prevent the administering thereof.

 

SECTION II: THE SENATORIAL ELECTIONS

Matthias is happy to see ‘Farfolk’ on the race list, but still waits for ‘Southeron’ to be on there.
