His Niftiness' Address to the Landsraad
Lady Prætor,
We were delighted to accept the invitation of the Landsraad which was extended to Us by means of its Resolution of the Year 6113 to address the aforesaid legislature concerning certain issues listed in the Resolution aforesaid.
In the time that has elapsed between the submission of the aforesaid Landsraad Resolution and Our present appearance in the Palace of Zirandorthel, We have to Our great joy succeeded in forming an Imperial Advisory Council and an Imperial Government, worthy of Our name and of service to the Imperial Republic which is able to provide Us with sound counsel and wise advise when attending to government of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. The same applies to the Imperial Shirerithian Defence Council.
The Jingdao issue has also been dealt with and the peace with that country will be kept by a policy of non-attention and having the best relations which Shireroth can have with Jingdao: none at all. It seems that in Constancia they have found themselves a very willing partner for their jingoistic war gaming and We wish both countries and many years of happy playing.
The prospects for Shireroth to improve relations with Alexandria, Hamland, Minarboria, Natopia and Stormark, as well as other countries are most favourable due to the extensive family network and other cordial ties of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja.
To Us a strong military and mutually beneficial relations with the nation’s diplomatic partners are essential for the advancement of the safety, honour, and welfare of the Imperial Republic as a whole. The same applies to good relations with the Imperial States which are the backbone of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth and We shall diligently work on all of the aforesaid.
We are also very pleased that due to the present constitutional settlement the Imperial States are secure in their lands and domestic affairs. During Our Kaiseral Reign We shall endeavour to increase their prosperity by devolving certain matters which are within Our purview to them. An example of this is Our Imperial Decree #786 which allows the Imperial States to have their own financial system.
Looking back at the circumstances that brought Us onto the Golden Mango Throne, We feel quite saddened that it was Margana WinEth's treachery and the subsequent bloodshed which triggered Our ascension. It is, however, no use crying about spilt milk, We shall endeavour to make Our Kaiseral Reign one of peace and prosperity.
May the lion not hurt you during Love’s Great Adventure!
