SUMMONS TO THE GRAND DUMA | 1913

SUMMONS TO GRAND DUMA OF ADRIA | 1913
6th day of Harren’s Folly of 1912

TO THE DUCHY OF ADRIA

 

The dumacratic values of Adria are considered sacred and the bedrock upon which our Adria was founded. Since the times of Duke Franz I Vladov, Adria has distinguished itself for its progressive values and integrative vision of a Duchy established not on the despotism of hitherto Savoyard or Horenic polities but instead on that of compromise and unity through differentiating ideas. 

 

As Duke of Adria, it behooves me to recognize the people's will and give them ample capacity to advise on the governance of Adria. Thus I summon the Grand Duma of Adria so that we continue to forge our shared vision of prosperity and stability.  

 

Heinrik Otto var Nikolai Sarkozic

THE DUMA IS SUMMONED UNDER THIS ITINERARY
5PM EST SUNDAY 2/26/23

Spoiler

OATHS OF CONFRATERNITY

Once all members of the free and open assembly are seated, an inaugural Oath of Confraternity. The Assembling Horn will be plugged and wine and spirits poured in. All those who drink heartily from it will be known thenceforth as friends and brothers of the Grand Duma and are entitled to a vote and an audience. 

 

VALIDATION OF THE KINGSROAD COMPACT

As the Franciscan Articles prescribes, the Grand Duma of Adria must validate all external treaties, declarations, agreements, or compacts. Therefore, it is the wish of the Ducal Coronet for the Grand Duma to consider the Kingsroad Compact and honor Adria's commitment, allowing for trade and ensuring warm relationships with the Duchy of Minitz alongside the Royal Crown. The Compact will be published for public view a month hitherto the Duma. 

 

PRESENTATION OF THE CODEX LACOBIANUS

While the legislative and legal rights of Duma & Duke have been outlined and passed within the Franciscan Articles, a criminal and civil law code has not been adequately presented. Magistrate Zmeu, though honorable in his attempts to recover the initial CODEX LACOBIANUS, was unable to do so; recently, the Duchy has gained a first edition copy of the Legal Code. The Coronet requests that the Codex currently being revised and updated be passed by the Grand Duma.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE DUCAL SEAT

The Duke will give multiple announcements regarding the welfare of the Duchy of Adria and updates on Ducal affairs. Furthermore, it is the duty of the Duke to regularly inform the Duma of Adria of preeminent business within the Duchy. 

 

PETITIONS TO DUKE AND DUMA & GENERAL PROPOSALS
Concluding the business of the Grand Duma will be for any to petition the Duma or the Duke regarding the business of the Duchy OR issue for Duma consideration.

"Damn, I was hoping that cheese rolling would be on the itinerary again. I missed it last time." The dame grumbled as she read over the missive.
