Reconstruction Decrees

The Reconstruction Decrees were signed into law by King Daelin I of Hybretia in the 10 days after the defeat of the Gretian Navy at the Third Battle of New Hybris. The Decrees were ordered to rebuild the state, and caused some controversy.
== Reconstruction & Expansion Decree ==
The first Decree, signed March 16th 244, ordered the rebuilding of New Hybris and to expand the city further inland, opening up more land for factories, warehouses, and barracks. It also ordered the construction of additional walls and internal defenses on the coastal sections of the city.
== Military Decree ==
The second decree, signed March 17th 244, restructured the Military, demoting officers who sided with Caelar VII in the Great War and promoting Daelin's loyalists. General Drakon Kalkhas was named Lord High Commander of the armies, and a rank system overhaul decreased the total number of Colonels and Generals and increased the number of Captains and Admirals.
== Government Reorganization Decree ==
The third decree, signed later on March 17th 244, reorganized the government into a series of departments headed by a member of the Generals' Council reporting directly to the King, appointed by the King. The Generals' Council lost all ability to control military endeavors and legislative actions, and was restructured as an Advisory Committee.
== Traitors' Redemption Decree ==
The most scandalous of the decrees, signed on March 25th 244, was the Traitors' Redemption Decree, which authorized the use of those known to have outright supported Caelar VII to be seized as military property and put to work for the construction of New Hybris or any other military projects as the King saw fit. Reactions were mixed, but fear of retribution from the King's special forces prevented any outward challenges of the act.
