TJ: Lord Rutland makes public officials swear Oath again.

==Public Officials called to Swear Allegiance, again==
At the Federal Representative's Official Residence, the Whitehall Estate, several public officials were called by Lord Rutland, 1st Baron Yttinnis, to retake the Oath of Allegiance. A spokesperson for the Baron exclaimed, "Officials from around the Duchy were indiscriminately called to The Estate for reaffirmation of Allegiance of the Crown. This is new standard procedure following War and the Baron has chosen to put this policy into practise to ensure that all public officials remain high spirited for peace."
Among the public officials were: Andrew Honywood, Adjutant General of the Tapanaun National Guard; Chief Constable Dieter Rietrich; President pro Tempore of the Congress of Deputies, Theresa Rosewood; Chief of Staff, State Chancellors Office, Rodger G. Huntteer and the whole Council of Ministers, excluding the State Chancellor.
The Oath which they swore allegiance to, reads:
'I swear by the Almighty Gods of the Four that I recognise the Duchy of Tapanuo as a quintessential Federal State of the Empire of Falleentium. I bear Allegiance to the Crown which presides over the Empire, the people I serve and myself. While in capacity of this Oath, I shall protect and defend the Constitution, Laws and Liberty of the Empire and the State. By taking this Oath, I take it freely and with obligation to none other than myself. If, while under influence of this Oath, I shall break it, I shall be judged by the Gods and my peers. Long live the Emperor!"
Critics of the Federal Representative are citing the mass-promise as the Baron's direct way of asserting authority over "his" State.
