ANNO  2004

; By the will of the Adrians and the authority entrusted to the Sovereign Seat of the Adrians, let it be declared that a new order of governance is hereby instituted. In this proclamation, the Veće Adriana is established as the supreme organ of statecraft, guided by the wisdom of the Duke, while the Adrian Duma is enshrined as the voice of the people, fostering unity and purpose across the realm.

 

 ; The Veće Adriana shall stand as the central council of governance, presided over by the Exilic Duke of the Adrians, who bears the Laurel of leadership as Sovereign of all Adrians. As supreme leader, the Duke shall hold ultimate authority over the decisions of both the Veće Adriana and the Adrian Duma. It is the Duke who shall ratify or veto their resolutions, serve as the Duchy’s foremost diplomat in external treaties and negotiations, and act as the final arbiter in disputes of great consequence. In times of urgency, the Duke may summon extraordinary sessions of either body, wielding the mantle of unifying leadership. When the safety of the realm is imperiled, the Duke shall also command the Hajduk Regiment alongside the Pukovnik, ensuring the defense of Beznov.

Supporting the Duke in this sacred charge is the Kancelar of the Adrians, who serves as the chief administrator and trusted advisor. The Kancelar shall oversee the operations of the Veće Adriana, convening and leading its meetings, confirming the eligibility of voters within the Duma, and acting as a diplomat to external entities. As the executor of the Duke’s vision, the Kancelar ensures the seamless alignment of state operations with the policies of the sovereign.

The defense of the realm is entrusted to the Pukovnik of the Hajduk Regiment, who commands the Duchy’s military forces. The Pukovnik shall oversee recruitment, training, and discipline within the ranks, while devising strategies to safeguard Adrian borders and citizens. In times of disaster, this office shall coordinate emergency response efforts to shield the realm from harm.

The stewardship of the Adrian coffers rests with the Skarbnik of the Adrian Coffers, who shall manage all matters of finance to ensure economic stability and prosperity. This office shall oversee taxation, trade, and budgeting, securing the resources necessary for Beznov’s growth. Reports on the fiscal health of the Duchy shall be presented regularly to the Veće Adriana, ensuring transparency and accountability.

In service to specialized needs, Prefekts of the Adrian Will may be appointed to address specific mandates, such as resolving land disputes, advancing infrastructure projects, or promoting cultural initiatives. These Prefekts shall operate with authority defined by their commission and report directly to the Duke or Kancelar, ensuring their labors align with the overarching goals of the Veće Adriana.

 

; The Adrian Duma shall be established as the civic body of deliberation, empowering the Adrian people to partake in governance. It shall serve as a forum where matters of policy and community concern are brought to light. Sessions of the Duma may be convened by the Duke or Kancelar, with extraordinary gatherings called at the Duke’s discretion.

Eligibility to participate in the Duma shall extend to all Adrians, with voting rights confirmed by the Duke or Kancelar upon fulfillment of predefined criteria, such as residency and contribution to the community. While the subjects of debate are set forth by the Duke or Kancelar, citizens may propose matters for consideration, ensuring their voices are heard. Topics discussed in the Duma may range from minor civic issues to critical policies of state.

On occasion, the Duma may also serve as a court of appeal, where disputes and grievances are brought before the Duke, who shall render judgment in the presence of the people. Through this, justice is made visible and accountable, strengthening the bonds of trust between the ruler and the ruled.

 

; By this proclamation, the Veće Adriana and the Adrian Duma are established as the twin pillars of Adrian governance. The Veće Adriana shall stand as the seat of wisdom and authority, while the Adrian Duma embodies the voice of the people. Together, they shall guide the Adrian ideal toward prosperity, harmony, and strength under the sovereign hand of the Duke.

Given under Our seal, in the year of Our Lord, to stand as witness to the dawn of this new era. May the Adrians ever thrive under these pillars of justice and governance.
