Edict of Resettlement

19th of Owyn’s Flame, 1763

 

 

 

---

 

TO OUR BELOVED NATION,

 

On this day, the 19th of Owyn’s Flame, 1763, the Crown of the Holy Orenian Empire does see fit to resettle the people of the province of Curon, under the advice of the Governor-General. 

 

The province has operated upon the verge of collapse for many decades, and at this stage, the status quo has proven untenable. Accordingly, the Governor-General and the Basrid Ministry have drafted this edict to rectify the unfortunate situation that has developed in the province.

 

Due to the social and commercial inactivity of the province of Curon, the Governor-General and the Imperial Crown shall enforce the following decree, to assure that residents of this province are protected and properly accommodated. It is our goal to provide a meaningful life to each and every Imperial subject, and by means of this edict, we are ensuring that all former Curonians have the opportunity to find employment and fulfillment in our Empire.

As such, we do resolve...

 

 

PROVISION I: On resettlement

 

1. Notable families from the former province of Curon will be doled out plots of land in the Crownlands, that they might construct for themselves manorly estates befitting families of their stature. The families being awarded this rare honor are as follows.

   1. To be awarded a full household and estate as befitting holders of peerages;

      1. The House of Halcourt, as chiefed by The Rt Hon. Winifred Halcourt, Baroness of Artois, and her servants. 

      2. The House of Merentel, as chiefed by The Rt Hon. Andromeda Merentel, Baroness of Merentel, and her servants. 

   2. To be awarded a manor in freehold outside the city of Helena;

      1. The Surany family, as chiefed by Ms. Georgina Surany.

      2. The Rutledge family, as chiefed by Mr. Wilheim Rutledge.

      3. The Farlander family, as chiefed by Ms. Azalea Farlander.

   3. A skilled Imperial architect has been hired to assist in the construction efforts.

2. Those who have enlisted in the Imperial State Army’s 3rd Regiment, known colloquially as the Curonian Marines, shall be promptly transferred with the abolition of this regiment.

   1. Former marines will become gazetted soldiers of the 1st Regiment.

   2. These personnel will be assigned to the 2nd Brigade under the command of General Alren DeNurem.

   3. They will be reacclimated to Imperial State Army standards before receiving a new assignment.

   4. These recruits must report to a 1st Regiment officer as soon as possible.

3. Other residents of Curon may petition Mr. Sylvester Halcourt [Lyonharted#0001 on Discord] to secure housing in and around the Imperial City of Helena. The Ministry of the Interior will work to satisfy all requests with urgency.

 

 

PROVISION II: On the status of the province of Curon

 

1. As of the promulgation of this edict, the province of Curon’s government shall be dissolved, including any provincial or local offices associated with it.

2. The polity and nomenclature of Curon shall be henceforth abolished in full, including any institutions of governance associated with it. 

3. His Imperial Majesty shall retain the prerogative to reincorporate the land as he sees fit, as it continues to remain in his personal demesne.

 

 

PROVISION III: Our final remarks 

 

The Crown of the Holy Orenian Empire thanks the officers and citizens of the province of Curon for their service to the State. The ministry fully understands the difficulty of this situation and the strife that it has created amongst the population. It is our utmost priority to assure that the citizens remain healthy and safe during this transition, and that their economic and social welfare is protected. The 1st Regiment and the Imperial Vice Chancellor shall be deployed at the disposal of the Governor-General, to assist in the transition on behalf of the Ministry.

 

For the Glory of Our Empire,

 

HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY,

 

Peter III, by the grace of GOD Holy Orenian Emperor, forever August, King of Renatus, Curon, Salvus, and Seventis, King-Elect of Kaedrin, Prince of Malinor, Grand Duke of Ves, Duke of Lorraine and Roden, Baron of Sedan, Vitzburg, and Sedai, Protector of the Heartlanders, Highlanders, and Farfolk, etcetera.
