Frymark 2791 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Approved by the Royal Diet in the year of 1913 LEX AAUNICA The Law of the Kingdom Justice is the constant and perpetual wish to render each one their due. - Emperor Henry I the Lion Since time immemorial, have the realms of man been kept together by three pillars; Faith, Crown and Law. The Aaunic people are no different in their wish for law and justice. To unify the realm, there will be the Lex Aaunica - The Kingdom’s Law - which shall, forevermore, bind together the Aaunic morals and the rights and responsibilities of the people of this United Kingdom. PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS The King (or Queen): The head of state of the United Kingdom of Aaun. The United Kingdom of Aaun: The nation to which these laws apply. The Royal Diet: The Parliament of the United Kingdom, comprising the Noble Estates, a representative of the Crownlands and a representative of the Canonist Church, which holds the legislative authority in the Kingdom. Noble Estates: Provinces which are ruled by a peer and their appointed autonomous government, represented in the Royal Diet. May levy taxes and raise levies in their lands in addition to lettering petty nobles with the Crown’s approval. Petty Nobility: Provinces which are ruled by a peer under the supervision of a Noble Estate. May levy taxes and raise levies with the approval of the Noble Estate whose on land they reside. Do not sit on the Royal Diet. The Crown: The government of the United Kingdom of Aaun, which controls Royal Peerage and rules under the direction and advice of the Council of State and the Royal Diet. TABLE I - THE RIGHTS OF MAN Excerpt Upon the Rights of Man As described in the Oren Revised Code, Humanity, created by God in the image of His Prophets, is bestowed upon through His Divine Power the guaranteed, inalienable rights of Man, held above all law and rule. Through the power of the Crown, they are enforced and protected immaculate and indefinite, only transgressed by committing a mortal sin. The Rights of Man include; THE RIGHT TO LIFE, so no man will ever be taken to the Skies so soon. THE RIGHT TO LIBERTY, so no man will ever be bonded by the shackles of slavery. THE RIGHT TO TRIAL, so no man will ever be wrongly accused when not charged by a trial of their peers. THE RIGHT TO PROPERTY, so no man will ever have to fear the unlawful loss of what is rightfully theirs. These rights are the backbone of Aaunic liberty and law, preventing the slip of chaos as seen in time immemorial, acting as a shield before the dark arrows of tyranny and selfish ambition. All sons of the First Prophet, no matter of blood, language, or culture, carry upon them these golden laurels of freedom, through right of birth and sapienic kinship. Thus it is required that wherever one may be in the United Kingdom and whoever they may serve, that these rights forevermore remain respected, represented and enforced. TABLE II - LAW OF THE REALM PREAMBLE Here will be scribed the laws of the Kingdom, those binding each and every Aaunic royal, noble and citizen alike. Let it be known that those who break these, wherever in the United Kingdom they may reside, shall be faced with the King’s justice. The law of the Realm will always take priority over local laws set by the Noble Estates, and thus will only include the most heinous acts committed against the United Kingdom, its constitution and the Holy Mother Church. CHAPTER I - CRIMES AGAINST THE STATE I.I - Sedition - When an individual spreads, encourages or commits actions seeking to destabilise the Charter, the King or his Noble Estates.
