In so doing, the House of Barclay is once again enrolled with all the privileges and obligations of the highest class, including the representation of His Royal Majesty’s crown in all matters diplomatic and domestic, attendance into the Adriatic Court, annual homage to The Royal Crown and etcetera. Additionally, We do summon all titles extant and abeyant in order to grant to his successors- provided that their legality is pronounced before the Adriatic Court - Royal Title of the Baron of Minitz, wherein they shall protect the Kingdom from harm. Ergo, We name him: DIETRICH The First of His Name Of House Barclay THE 1ST BARON OF MINITZ Naturally in obeisance to the peerage laws of the Kingdom, the title shall be invested with absolute primogeniture succession.

In return, and as a sign of Our august graciousness, We do privilege his ability to levy law and taxes upon his subjects if any be borne. If ever Our Royal Crown sees fit to suspend or demote his rights or, unitarily, the noble letters of his house, their right to contest the suspension or demotion shall be upheld within the Adriatic Court, where a jury of Noble Peers shall evaluate the act.

IN NOMINE DEI, HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Frederick I, King of Oren, forever August, King of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duke of Ves, Duke of Helena, Novellen, Furnestock, Petra, Oltremont, South Arentania, and Lorraine, Count of Mardon, Baron of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders and Farfolk, etcetera HER ROYAL MAJESTY, Vivienne of Savoy, Queen consort of Oren, forever August, Queen consort of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duchess consort of Ves, Duchess consort of Helena, Novellen, Furnestock, Petra, Oltremont, South Arentania, and Lorraine, Countess consort of Mardon, Baroness consort of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders and Farfolk, etcetera

THE FIRST SITTING OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Constituents situated in the hall of Temesch, a diverse array of men and women, both old and juvenile, from areas across the Kingdom. Ravens and Savoyards alike joined the hall in congregation, their representation separate, but their ideals as countrymen: one. From a podium central to the hall, the Lord Chancellor de Falstaff stood, opening the first sitting with an address to the burgess and burgesses. @Chennster Men and women of Oren, I welcome you to our first congregation of His Majesty's Grand Assembly. I beseech ye, today, to ponder on the many developments of recent we have become privy to.” Conrad announced, his voice echoing through the hall. The AsAhford’s eye glistened with redeem, as he faced the constituents that had chosen to serve their country. In comparison to the wars that preceded our ancestors, we live, now, in simpler times. We are graced with the authority of peace, and is our mantle as the leaders - the stewards of this great Kingdom, to put it to use. As of recently, we have mandated peace as our authority. Our military grows, our businesses flourish, and our nobles lavish in privilege and sacred duty. Our government has completed itself, and today, this final instrument of government marks our longstanding vows to prosperity and autonomy. Our predecessors had one item in common: The Nenzing rebels, the Aster visionaries, and our very own King Frederick? It was the mandate of the governed, the reconciliation of the very sacred contract that tethers us, men, together. Our sole presence here marks this fact. So, let this be a reminder that we are men of free will. I implore this assembly, that we may enact legislation that enacts the will of our governed. Be it law of order, appropriations for finances, or even the stewardship of the development of our culture - we Orenians will soar to heights never known, as the late Archchancellor described it - let us be the jewel of the civilized world. He paused, concluding. May God bless us. Let us commence, now, the first sitting of His Majesty's General Assembly, and its ground rules. A hand thudded against the desk, ending his opening remarks. Election for the Leader of the General Assembly Lord Dietrich Barclay 8 Ayes Lord Vincent Keen 12 Ayes **Bills proposed were tabled for the next sitting, due to the first sitting being responsible for establishment of ground procedure.

ADDENDUM Excerpt Upon the Rights of Man, 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 accused of a crime shall be subject to punishment or penalty without first having been judged so by a jury of his peers; having been allowed fair and proper representation; and to always be presumed innocent until proven guilty. These rights are the backbone of human 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. - Emperor Joseph I, 1718 ADDENDUM General Principles of Law The Binding Contract Principle; “A binding contract exists by an expressed offer that is taken up upon by an expressed acceptance of said offer”. The Eminent Domain Principle; “All soil, and the structures and elements upon it, are under Crown ownership, unless specified otherwise by referenceable documents from state government”. The Rightful Ownership Principle; “A human with uncontested physical ownership of a good, legal tender or produce, with an absent pretext of criminality, is assumed to be the rightful legal owner.” The Penalty Principle; “The gravity of a crime can exceed the amount of justice the conventional punishments could bring, and therefore might require the execution of the criminal”.
