Review of the Highland Realm’s

Advancements - Standard of Life

To the Dutiful Citizens of the Realm,

The Highland Realm, and by extension, the Kingdom of Norland has gone through a variety of Kings the past few decades. Some think such change can be stunning to a nation, paralysing even. However, this idea has shown itself to be further from the truth in our case. Despite our setbacks, we have ventured further on the goal of progress. UnderEarl Edvard II, we saw the implementation of our Nordlaw. Through Duke Godric, Norland had seen the foundation of the Highland Realm through the Highland Act (1745). By way of King Caedric, the Highland Realm published its first copy of the Highlaw which still remains to govern the current protectorates and guides the citizens of the Realm to be honest and productive members of society. Now, under the passionate King Halvar, the Highland Realm is taking the greatest leaps in all sectors of national interest. This missive shall focus on matters concerning the standard of life in our nation.

Increased Housing

As our population has surged in the last few decades,more space is required to house our new residents. We have incorporated this housing into the rural plains south of Morsgrad. This decision has allowed a greater capacity of citizens that can dutifully work together into progressing our nation into a golden age.

Nordish Education Initiative

With an increased population, means an increase in children. Some of the adults in our realm lack the appropriate skills to help them live comfortably. This initiative will be training all children where possible so that they may apply their newfound skills into creating a stable home environment and performing their duties to the nation.

Decriminalisation of Homosexuality

Our act criminalising homosexuality has since been repealed. If an individual engages into same-sex relations, they will be treated equally in the eyes of the law compared to someone who does not engage in same-sex relations. That being said, it is still expected that these individuals are to raise children and be productive members of society. If they refuse to do this, they could face being publicly shunned by their peers.

Decriminalisation of Interracial Marriage

The question on whether two individuals of differing races can be bound together into a union has been decided. Regardless of race, individuals can be bound with whomever they please if love does permit them so. However, they must both be devout followers of the Red Faith which must be confirmed by the High Keeper. Despite being in a union, the couplet shall not be able to indulge in any activities of a venereal nature, or that may result in offspring joint of both races.
