Preamble of the People

United, we stand in celebration of the diverse voices that
make up the great chorus of our Empire. Confident in our individuality, and steadfast in our shared values and common purpose, we — the citizens of the United Empire of Predaconia — have come together in the spirit of self-determination in order to establish the principles of our law and governance.
By this act, we create for ourselves a sovereign state, animated by many spirits, accountable to Almighty God, and the people. Conscious of the responsibility that we bear to future generations — and of their role in defending and regenerating this Constitution — we lay down maxims crafted to promote civic harmony, mutual tolerance, universal wellbeing, and social and political freedom. We embody these ideas in democratic government, and enshrine them in a system of law. And we empower each citizen to reform this design, by democratic process and political debate. By popular mandate, we establish this Constitution: 
* To recognise every citizen as an equal partner in government—at a local, regional, and national level.
* To affirm that each citizen is entitled to fair and equitable treatment under the law.
* To establish the principle of equality of opportunity for all citizens.
* To eradicate poverty and want throughout the nation.
* To protect and cultivate community identities within the eleven great Empires of the union.
* To preserve our common environment, and to hold it in trust for future generations.
* To safeguard freedom of thought, conscience, and assembly; and to facilitate peaceable dissent.
* And to protect these fundamental rights against the encroachment of tyranny and the abdication of reason.
