Draaz and South Shiha Constitutions

==To the Governor of the Falleen Occupation Zone Suttacasia==
From the Office of the Falleen Foreign Secretary
Attached you will find the documents I am recommending as the basis for new governments in Draaz and South Shiha. A lack of leadership has allowed anarchy to grow in the occupation zone. It is up to us to get new civilian governments set up post-haste in Draaz and South Shiha so that the situation does not deteriorate further. I recommend holding elections within the next three months. Best of luck.
