High Council Skúlfur Act #4 - April 27th, 2024
With the recent elections in the Fjarldom, one questions stands. Should the deputies of the ministries be allowed in the government as senators along with the new ministers? Or should the deputies stay out of the government and the people who got elected minister be the only ones that can have the role of Senator. 
React with the emojis below to determine the fate of this Act, 
✅ - The Deputies should enter the government as Senators along with the ministers 
❌ - The Deputies should remain how they are now and not enter the government until they become ministers

Low Council Skúlfur Act #24 - September 22, 2024
After the recent events which includes the Traitor Trials, Tensions with Voz and in general the state of the Fjarldom itself, causing fear, anger and more importantly confusion and distrust. It is clear now more than ever what one of the main issues is within this nation. Communication. In fact a majority of what happened within the last 2 weeks could have been solved with simple communication, on part of the Low and High Councils and especially the Fjarls themselves, with the lack of this communication, plus other problems with the structure of the Government itself has resulted in a Government shutdown, something will be done about this, so by the power invested by me as Fjarl, along with Føringi Brandon af Lifsveldi, I introduce to you all the Fourth Council Act. The Act Will Reform the entire Government which will be explained below,
===== Act 24.1: The Reformation of the High Council =====
The High Council will be Reformed by the Fjarls, in hopes for a better government!
Act 24.1a: Creation of the Religious Branch 
Religion will now play a pivotal role in the Skúlráði Court, serving as a structured path for promotion to the High Council. A Fylgismaður | Devoted Follower may apply to become a Prestr | Priest . In this role, the Prestr assists the Department of Player Relations, organizing religious events and spreading the faith across the land, particularly among heretics. Through dedication and success, a Prestr may rise to the rank of Spámaður | High Priest and secure a seat on the esteemed High Council. 
This offers an engaging path for dedicated role-players looking to advance through the ranks by expanding the influence of the Fjarldom's faith, without the need for arduous grinding or bureaucratic work. 
Act 24.1b: Adding Military Leaders to the High Council 
The High Council will now welcome any Leiðtogi I Army Leader into its chambers. After consulting with Føringi Brandon af Lifsveldi, it has been deemed just for the leaders of the Fjarldom's military to participate in the nation’s key decision-making. Their strategic input will be vital in matters such as assessing potential threats and advising on whether the Fjarldom should engage in war. 
This is a more challenging path to the High Council, as it relies on one demonstrating superior PvP skills or proving one’s worth as a military strategist. 
Act 24.1c: Promotion to High Council 
At the conclusion of each Low Council term, the High Council will hold a vote to consider the promotion of any Göráði | Advisor selected by the Fjarls. Advisors who have proven their competence, loyalty, and ability to improve the nation will be eligible for promotion. If the vote favors the advisor, they will receive a trial assignment. Success within the two-week period will confirm their position as a High Council member, granting them full powers. However, failure will result in their return to the role of Advisor until the next Low Council term, where they may be reconsidered for promotion. If the vote does not pass, the advisor may be reconsidered after the next term, provided they continue to demonstrate their worth. 
Act 24.1d: New Minister of Homeland Affairs 
Due to Timothy af Lifsveldi being currently busy to run such a massive department, it will be granted to someone that the Low Council thinks is worthy of having it. Thus setting up the precedent that if the Ministry of Homeland Affairs has decided to retire from their position, or is deemed inactive by the Fjarls or High Council. The Low Council will vote on a new Minister and it will pass onto the High Council which will either accept the new Minister or Veto it. Currently its up to the Bóndiráði | Senator and Göráði | Advisor to choose who the next Homeland Affairs minister would be and it could be anyone within the Skúlráði Court.
===== Act 24.2: The Reformation of Internal Lands =====
The Claims of the Fjarldom will be reformed, in hopes for a better system of governing!Act 24.2a: Creation of Duchies/Hertogaveldi's 
The Skúlráði Court will give its governors new titles and responsibilities with the Fjarldom being split into Duchies/Hertogaveldi's, which will be the following,

It is the duty of the Hertogi to bring prosperity, activity and fun to their respective Hertogaveldi's. And adding onto the Governor Report Act, it will be mandatory that all Hertogi's give a weekly report.Act 24.1c: Promotion to High Council 
At the conclusion of each Low Council term, the High Council will hold a vote to consider the promotion of any Göráði (Advisor) selected by the Fjarls. Advisors who have proven their competence, loyalty, and ability to improve the nation will be eligible for promotion. 
If the vote favors the advisor, they will receive a trial assignment. Success within the two-week period will confirm their position as a High Council member, granting them full powers. However, failure will result in their return to the role of Advisor until the next Low Council term, where they may be reconsidered for promotion. 
If the vote does not pass, the advisor may be reconsidered after the next term, provided they continue to demonstrate their worth
