THE CAPITAL ACT, 1757

[The King Of The Moon 7016]

THE CAPITAL ACT, 1757

Written by his Grace Leopold Guy Helvets, the Duke of Cathalon on behalf of the Diet of Kaedrin and the Helvetii estate. Confirmed by his Excellency Anton Rovin, the Governor-General of Kaedrin on behalf of the Crown
upon the 5th of Tobias’ Bounty, 1757

---

In light of the derelict City of Ves’ complete demolition, and without a suitable replacing settlement of the same scale, the House finds the Edict ‘Vessian Bureaucracy: Instrument of Government of the Golden City of Ves’ now redundant, and to be revoked from Kaedrin’s legislation. The title ‘Grand Duke of Ves’ is also recognised as without political weight or power in light of the Duchy of Ves having long since been demolished; henceforth regarded as a prestigious styling supplementary to the King of Kaedrin.

 

Henceforth Varoche Palace (often signposted as Palais de Varoche), until this point the primary holding of the Duke of Cathalon, shall be recognised as the legislative capital of Kaedrin. 

 

Ownership of the palace is to be divided exactly in thirds of one and two. The smaller third being it’s north-western portion - referred to henceforth as the ‘Helvetii Estate’ - to remain in the hands of the Duke of Cathalon as he and his immediate family’s private residence, allowing for later expansion of the estate into the wider reaches of Mont Saint Catherine where permitted by royal prerogative. 

 

The larger two thirds of the palace, it’s south-eastern portion - referred to henceforth as the ‘Cabinet Chambers’ shall be leased to the state and administered through royal prerogative in the hands of either the King of Kaedrin or Governor-General in times of royal assent, allowing for later expansion into any portion of Kaedrin where permitted by royal prerogative.
