FROM THE DESK OF HER HIGH EMINENCE
THE LORD CHANCELLOR OF THE REGALIAN EMPIRE
14th of June, 309 AC
As the warm rays of summer sun filter in from the windows of the Retreat where I write this Decree, I am reminded of those diligent peoples who are within the city and carry on their duty to the Empire and its citizens.
The State and Peerage continue to work and march towards the progress and security of the Empire: meeting Ambassadors within the Retreat and holding Assemblies. The following decree includes laws enacted by the Chancellor, negotiations by the Diplomatic Ministry, and summons by the State.
On the Matter of Ithania:
The State and Diplomatic Ministry has negotiated a temporary arrangement with the Honored Ithanian Sovereignty, which will be re-negotiated in a longer form discussion after the rebellions in the neighboring duchies have been quelled. The terms of the agreement are the following, and go into effect immediately.
-The State will welcome the King of Ithania's attempts to restore order in the Southern Ithanian provinces, for better mutual defense and cooperation, in the Duchies of Salaria, Visois, Andois and Sulèce.
-The Ithanian Sovereignty will offer military aid to the State in ending the Rebellions within L'Elvellen.
-The Ithanian Sovereignty will restore the Budget of Ithania in full to the State.
On the Matter of Daenshore:
The state recognizes the ruined conditions of Daenshore's defensive walls, and will begin the process of repairs and negotiation for how such repairs will be enacted. The Lord Chancellor intends to summon an Ambassador from the Governate to discuss the repairs with the Diplomatic Ministry and Marshalry Cabinet.
On the Matter of Additions to Law and Ordinances:
The Lord Chancellor enacts the following Law, under Regalian High Law:
"To defraud, steal from, or attempt to steal from the Regalian State is illegal. "
The Lord Chancellor clarifies that this law applies to those in Ministerial or Government positions who are delegated funds for a specific purpose, and Citizens who negotiate deals with the Government for funds for a specific purpose. Misleading the Government on the usage of these funds, failing to use them for their intended purpose with ill-intent proven, or outright stealing these funds is now illegal.
The Lord Chancellor enacts the following Empire Wide Ordinance into law:
"Preventing the free passage of Trade Ships through the Schoenn River and the Regal Sea is disallowed, and will result in punitive measures taken by the Government on the offending party."
The Lord Chancellor commends the Families and Lords that have signed similar measures into law in their local lands, and extends this protection throughout the Empire. The Schoenn River and Regal Sea are pivotal to trade within the Archipelago and to the Capital City.
On the Matter of the Crookback Council Appointments:
The Lord Chancellor removes any prior protections on the appointment of Hessolis.
On the Matter of the Marshalry Cabinet:
The Lord Chancellor requests the presence of the Marshalry Cabinet, and wishes to arrange a meeting at the earliest possible hour.
On the Matter of the Diplomatic Ministry:
The Lord Chancellor ratifies the decision of Diplomatic Minister Grand Duke Markus Delmotte, and appoints Grand Duke Abelhard Petrou as Ministerial Representative. When Grand Duke Markus Delmotte is not present or unavailable for meetings within the Capital, Grand Duke Petrou has the full authority to act in the Diplomatic Minister's stead.
On the Matter of Assemblies:
The Lord Chancellor calls another Assembly on the 17th of June, 309 AC, at 6pm EST.
THE RULINGS OF THIS DECREE TAKE THE FULL EFFECT OF STATE LAW.

OOC Notes & Clarifications
- Ithanian Diplomacy will continue along. Relevant people for these meetings will be contacted ICly and OOCly. I will most likely end up making a discord rank on the Government Discord to easier plan times for meetings.
- Daendroque diplomacy pending Geopolitics order submission & progression.
- Don't steal law that wasn't there before. Doesn't really apply to players, is more relevant to the wider world & politics. (I think?) Schoenn River law speaks for itself.
- I know this is late lol sorry.
