Election of Steward

Post by Armin Jamal-Arminzadeh »

My Lords

We meet now to decide on who we shall elect to Steward of the Imperial Republic. The incumbent's term expires on [15 February], and we must therefore begin sounding the environment.

I will now ask for nominations.

My Lords,

I have been informed by the delegates to the Folksraad of the Crowsilver Party that they intended to vote for the Count Palatine of Kezan, but that they for unexpected reasons, in a moment of profound confusion, pressed the wrong button. They have therefore asked that their votes be indicated to be in favour of the Count Palatine of Kezan.

As the vote was an informal one, I see no harm in honouring their request. An error rate of 4 votes out of nearly 1000 is below the statistical threshold for significance.

My Lord Speaker
My Lords

It is an honor for me to address you all here today on the occasion of the second election to Steward in the history of our Imperial Republic. The constitutional reforms that have brought the Landsraad the power to decide on a term-limited head of executive collectively form an important milestone in our constitutional progression. As a safir, I am further honored to stand here, as a member of a previously persecuted minority, who now feels equal to all other sentient species here. In the modern Shireroth, one’s species has no consequence. And that is a good thing, of which I am deeply proud.

If elected, I wish to continue the previous constitutional and democratic reforms. The main goal is to bring an end to slavery in the Imperial Republic. Although I am willing to tolerate the so-called loyal subjects to the Kaiser, my government would not under any circumstances tolerate the slavery that is brought upon the people classed in the Newspeak manner as Community Servitors and -trices. They would be upgraded to loyal subjects and thereby receive some rights.

The situation for loyal subjects, however, needs further reform. Their rights need to be extended so that no master may be able to abuse his or her loyal subjects. The Zy-Rodun and Brookshire models for reform are good bases for further reform in the Imperial Republic.

But to secure the rights of everyone in Shireroth, we need to make the distance between noble and denizen smaller – and extend citizenship to all. In so doing, we’ll have to develop our criminal and civil codes so that they fit the modern democratic Shireroth. Infrastructure needs to be modernized. The BDN needs to be shut down and a free, uncensored internet available to all. My government will knit together Shirerithian communities in an all-Shirerithian highway and railway network, and we’ll establish one postal system across the entire imperial republic, so that efficiency may be reached for all, without discrimination.

As a former kaiserin, I believe I have the right credentials to serve as the head of executive. I will sit down with our enemies and I will strive to give us an equitable peace so that we may end the war which has torn us even further apart from our Kildari brothers.

Thank you, my Lords, for listening to me. If there are any questions, I will be happy to answer them all.
Her Majesty Queen Áþamé Issèla Mari Vāstra of Firneramnen, Queen of Aňira, Archduchess of Alðai, Grand Duchess of Vatēmar, Princess of Shireroth, Lady of Kin'uyama and of Senkyōwan, Landgravine of the Vessāra Forest, Castellaness of the Bloodless Palace, Maid of Angarae, Grand Mistress of the Order of Itrāei, Lady of the Night Sky

Lord Prætor,

I thank Her Serenity, the Imperial Mother, for honoring me with her nomination.

The Imperial Republic remains threatened by hostile forces from abroad. Our survival has been assured by the rigorous and iron discipline of our glorious Imperial Forces. They have preserved our bodies and our lands and they have prevented the Forces of Darkness from encroaching upon our home. Even so, to preserve our posterity, we must do more than simply hold the line.

We must preserve and augment the ties that bind our disparate and diverse parts so that they may become a single, all-powerful organism, against which no Darkness can hope to overthrow.

Our railways and our information networks must be extended, strengthened, and modernized, so that all Subjects of the Golden Mango Throne may be duly supplied and duly informed, secure from the corruption of hostile influences and bringing people and resources to where they are most needed to bring about a total prosperity.

We must rejuvenate our society with a spirit of initiative, so that all loyal Shirerithians can strive to become their best selves, each according to their rank and role. Shirerithians of every rank must recognize and fulfill their obligations, both upwards and downwards, so that all may work together, each contributing their own strengths, to the efforts of the Imperial Republic against the Darkness.

Be firm and stand together, Children of Shireroth!

Death Spare His Magnificence!
Death Spare Our Glorious Republic!
