“Golden Words of Law

A new era was built by the people. An era of gold. An era of knowledge. An era of prosperity. This prosperity was hard work: enriching the capital, having knowledge weigh more than gold, making the hostile desert full of life.

Now, just as with the desert, we turn this civilization to one brimming with power.

People! To power, wealth and knowledge!

Luks bless us!”

## **Article I**

Solisios shall be, from now on to forever, an independent, religious, Shahdom, in which power is divided between the King, who shall henceforth be called the Shah and the Great Council, which shall henceforth be known as the Sece Pemuwe. It shall be a state in which all citizens are free, without distinction of origin or race. Its religion shall be Lux and the power shall be centralised and organised in the following institutions.

### **Section I**

The executive power may lay in the hands of the Shah who is the owner of the nation and who has the right to call upon the Sece Pemuwe, not more often than once a week, and not for longer than 2 days; and has the right to veto any legislation during the sitting of the Sece Pemuwe. However, if the Sece Pemuwe regards the veto as unprecedented, it can call upon a vote which, after gathering a full and unanimous conclusion from the body, may remove the veto.

The Shah may grant titles of Nobility to anyone.

The Shah has the ultimate power and is the highest commander if present in any battle. His orders are to be the highest and all other commanders present on a given battlefield shall adhere to them.

### **Section II**

The legislative power of the state may lay in the hands of the Sece Pemuwe, which from here to forever, may consist of:

1. All governors of all cities, be it colonies or not.
2. All the highest officials of the state, meaning: the Chief Commander, the High Priest and all alike.
3. All members of the royal family, whose presence the Shah deems required.
4. All whom the Shah nominates to the rank of Council Member, which from now on shall be known as Sepbo.

All of which shall be given a singular vote to use during each ruling, which is a consideration of a singular legislature or resolution, of the Sece Pemuwe. In addition the Sece Pemuwe is obliged to discuss all matters touched upon by passed referendums. They may also call for a popular vote in which them as well as the Nobility may vote together.

All Sepbo have the title of Nobility granted to them by the virtue of serving the state.

### **Section III**

If a citizen or a foreigner is to commit a crime in the lands of Solisios, they are to be submitted to the ruling of the court, which may consist of any number of Sepbo or the Shah, whom are present at the time of the submission of the criminal to a court by any form of law enforcement.

The criminal may be granted one, short and meaningful statement to defend themselves. The court may give out punishment on the basis of previous punishments given in a similar or same matter.

### **Section IV**

The state religion shall be Lux.

The national emblem shall be a party per bend sinister, black and white colouring, with the Sun and Crescent Moon at the centre. As well as two descending stars of lowering size in the north west corner.

The maxim of the Shahdom shall be: *“Luks sundjata w sundjata Cah!” (“Power to Lux and to the Shah!”)*

The principle of the Sece Pemuwe shall be: *“To govern rightfully and respect our Goddess and Patron - for the people and their welfare.”*

## **Article II**

Sovereignty of the citizens, their rights and duties.

### **Section I**

The citizen shall be defined as a person of foreign or domestic origin, who has decided to abandon their previous connotations with any other states, and who resides in the lands of Solisios continually with minor or no departures to other states.

### **Section II**

The rights of the citizen are as follows:

1. They possess the right to ownership.
2. They possess the right to freedom of movement.
3. They are allowed to change accomodation at any given point in time.
4. They may abandon the state after notifying any of the two ruling bodies, the Shah or the Sece Pemuwe.
5. They may create a new guild in any given city, except for those of Farmers, Fishermen and Merchants, which as of the “Economic Revival Reforms”  are to be provided by the governor of each and every city in the lands of Solisios, if four or more of them agree to it.
6. They may leave their guilds at any point in time as they please and dismantle guilds with less than two members.
7. They may condemn any legislation deemed inappropriate or harmful to the state.
8. To use their singular vote per ruling of any giver referendum.

Citizens may use any of their given rights at any point in time.

### **Section III**

The duties of the citizen are as follows:

1. To pay taxes, at rates demanded by the settlements of Solisios.
2. To be registered in any guild or military establishment of Solisios.
3. To adhere to the legislature and law established by the two ruling bodies.
4. To serve as a part of any local militia called by the governor, Chief Commander or Shah in their city, and protect it, and their property, in case of an attack.
5. To honour our Goddess and Patron Lux.

These duties are to be followed by citizens at all times and under no circumstances may they be disobeyed, since that would be committing a crime against the state.

## **Article III**

Sovereignty of the Nobility, their rights and duties.

### **Section I**

A Noble is defined as a citizen who has acquired the title via any of the means mentioned in the following statement.

Any citizen can acquire the title of Nobility via nomination by the Shah or becoming a Sepbo.  The title is non-hereditary, however, a secondary title of Pedegbo may be given by a Noble to their offspring as an honouring of their Noble descent, though a Pedegbo cannot use the rights of Nobility nor is required to do their duties.

All members of the royal family are granted a revocable, only by the Shah, status of Nobility.

### **Section II**

The rights of the Nobility are, in addition to the rights of citizens which they possess, as follows:

1. They are exempt from tax.
2. They may assume the role of commander if no other authority is present.
3. They may create guilds same as citizens, though are only required to have two or more members.
4. They may possess land.
5. They may have residences in one or more cities.
6. They may be given the right to use their land for economic activities, such as farming.
7. They are exempt from having to be a part of any guild or military establishment of the state.
8. They may be given a singular vote each in each popular decision held in the state.
9. They may call upon a referendum which, if passed by a grand majority, has to be discussed by the Sece Pemuwe at the next sitting.

They are to use their rights at any point in time.

### **Section III**

The duties of the Nobility, whom share not the duties of the citizen, are as follows:

1. To serve the military if the Sece Pemuwe rules that it is necessary.
2. To possess military equipment of the highest possible quality.
3. If they are active landowners: to possess a militia.
4. To serve the country in any way deemed necessary by the Shah or Sece Pemuwe.
5. To adhere to any legislation or law of the state.

These duties are to be followed by the Nobility at all times and under no circumstances may they be disobeyed, since that would be committing a crime against the state and the Shah.

## **Closure**

Such is the will of the people, nobility and Shah. That this order be exercised, amended by the sittings of Sece Pemuwe and treated with respect by any and all to grant the state the label of true progress and power, finally stabilising the government after long times of strife and disorganisation that reigned ever after the inception of said state.

This may pave the path of progress towards a new Golden Era of the state and grant it the status of a proper power amongst its rathniri and ummarnu peers.

From now and forever may we have the blessing of Lux. May her light illuminate our way in times of darkness, when inevitably the seeds sown by Tenebris sprout! *Luks sundjata w sundjata Cah!*
