Issued and averred by Her Serene Grace RENILDE I in the year of our Lord 1928

 

 

RENILDE I BY THE GRACE OF GOD ARCHDUCHESS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE PETRA 

 

To all Lords Spiritual and Temporal and all other Our Subjects whatsoever to whom these Bestows shall come; Hail. Know ye that We of Our distinctive benevolence, certain erudition and mere motion do by these Proclaims advance, create and prefer Our Capital City of the Commonwealth. So that We might witness its renown flourish and its state mature into that of the People's will. 

 

I. ON THE AUTHORITY OF THE CROWN

i. By all Principles and Rights of the Sovereign Crown of the Commonwealth of the Petra, We retain Our unadulterated jurisdiction over the Capital City and its Province. 

ii. Therein, it is Our Sovereign Privilege to assent or dissent the actions, statues and proposals of the Mayor, as well as the Board of Stewards, so that We might Ourselves ensure the function and intention of Our City’s Counsels. 

iii. So forth as Our most loyal Mayor does not enact his jurisdiction in Righteous and Proper mannerism, We carry the Right to abolish his interval of elevation and so beseech the Citizens of Our Commonwealth in an election anew.  

 

II. AS FOR THE FUNCTION OF THE MAYOR 

i. By charge of Our Sovereign desires, the Mayor shall be elected from the Citizens of Our Commonwealth to hold jurisdiction, with Our defined Principles of Sovereignty, over the Capital City and its Province. 

ii. Thus the Electoral Cycle of the Mayor shall occur on the basis of Our Sovereign summons, and equally dissolved by Our benevolent hand. 

iii. Hereafter it shall become the burden of the Mayor to maintain, develop and advance our Capital City.

iv. Hereunder the festivities of Our Commonwealth in conjunction with Our River Court, the allocation of houses and collection of taxation in conjunction with Our Treasury, as well as the Stewardship of Our Capital in conjunction with Our Commissaire.

 

III. AS FAR AS THE BOARD OF STEWARDS

i. By charge of Our Sovereign desires, the Capital shall host the Board of Stewards, which shall be made up of Our most loyal Stewards, as well as three elective seats added thereto. 

ii. Hitherto the Electoral Cycle of these three seats shall occur on the basis of Our Sovereign summons, and equally dissolved by Our benevolent hand.

iii. Thus it shall be the burden of the Mayor to ensure the function of Our Board of Stewards, as well as ensure common and reasonable debate within its halls.

iv. We do so encumber Our Board of Stewards with the deliberative actions of Our Capital, and therein ensure the continued rise of Our Commonwealth. 

v. So forth it shall be the Rights of the Board of Stewards to create, maintain and develop our Local Codex of jurisprudence, however never enact nor advance concepts above that of Local law.

vi. Hereunder the Board of Stewards shall be unable to further amend or add any crimes whatsoever, nor shall they amend or add any statutes which may harm Our lands beyond the walls of the Capital and its Province. 

vii. Therefore it is established that laws, or rather proposals of law, shall firstly pass through the Board of Stewards by majority vote, and thereafter by Our own hand in assent or dissent of its function. 

 

IV. HEREINAFTER WE DO CONFER THE BERNARDINE RIGHTS

i. Insoforth as We and Our heirs and successors lawfully sired shall sit ‘pon the Throne of Garmont, these Rights shall stand as highest Principle of thought as to Our Citizens, which no Man shall be allowed to contravene; be they High- or Lowborne. 

ii. Hitherto it shall be the Right of  every Citizen of Our Commonwealth to doubt and catechize its institutions of Governance, so that corruption may never beseech Our Commonwealth.  

iii. Hitherto it shall be the Right of every Citizen of Our Commonwealth to be rightfully tried before the Courts of Justice, and in the absence thereof Ourselves. 

iv. Hitherto it shall be the Right of every Citizen of Our Commonwealth to vote within the election of Our most loyal Mayor, as well as seek his office for themselves. 

v. Hitherto it shall be the Right of  every Citizen of Our Commonwealth to freely trade with one another as well as those which come from abroad, so forth the trade is licit. 

vi. Hitherto it shall be the Right of  every Citizen of Our Commonwealth to deny the labour of any Man; be they High- or Lowborne. 

vii. Hitherto it shall be the Right of  every Citizen of Our Commonwealth to leave Our Capital and Our Commonwealth if so desired, and never held in contradistinction to their desires. 

viii. Hitherto it shall be the Right of  every Citizen of Our Commonwealth to petition the Lord’s of Our Commonwealth, for whichever may be desired.
