As Royal Instructing Justice for the Union, permit me to advise that I believe our constitution is in need of some improvement. This would be necessary to safeguard the future independence of the courts and the Senate. That, I believe, is a crucial initial step before we can be at all confident that the situation has stabilised sufficiently for your Majesty to commence with making the appointments and instruments of government that will regularise the governance of the Union State.
The present constitution is overly stringent with regards to rights and overly lax with regards to the separation of powers. I believe this owes something to the very late Prince Nathaniel's conflicted experiences under the Coordinated State. A literal reading of the Constitution would have obliged all citizens to remain in a perpetual position of meek submission to your demonically possessed father. Happily however, a daemonic entity cannot be considered a person and the constitutional guarantees that are properly guaranteed to the recognised sentient person - Human, Elfinshi, Safir - do not apply to hellspawn. Your Majesty can however be assured that we mourn with you to learn that your closest and dearest family members have been hollowed out husks worn by a single daemon this entire time.
However, the misguided individuals who adhered to the Vanic religion and who adopted some of the more regrettable aspects of Froyalanish culture will continue to need our help, guidance and protection, excepting those guilty of crimes under the penal code, whether through perpetrating injustices during the Noahid era or resisting the Auspicious Occasion through the force of arms. Wherever possible our watchword should be clemency. Wherever possible Storish colonists should be escorted to the borders of Gascony or else given permission to board plane or ship to the destination of their choice. For the indigenous population, the indoctrinated and the brainwashed, we should give attentive consideration to helping with their reintroduction to society, to their ancestral communities of Elw and Norse. We must however also accept that there are those for whom reintegration is impossible - the years and decades of indoctrination have run too deep and the Froyalanish is all that they know. I believe we have a duty of care to those people and an obligation to provide them with a land in which they can find a certain measure of safety and peace.
The expulsion of those individuals too manifestly tainted by association with the Daemonic Vanic State has certainly thinned out the ruling and administrative classes of the Union. I believe the first order of business, after any necessary territorial settlements will be to appoint new provincial governors.
The metropolitan territory of the Union, excluding the overseas colonies, consists of the following nine county-precincts:
The Federation of the Seven Ports has already been largely suppressed on account of popular indignation. Accepting that there may be territorial reorganisations in due course, I recommend the appointment of an Arandur (steward) for each precinct who can in turn appoint Bailiffs to the bailiwicks within their jurisdiction, thereby restoring the connection between the royal government and the provinces, which has become tenuous of late.County of Agnesia and Wintergleam;
Emirate of Alalehzamin and Utasia;
Kingdom of Amokolia;
County of Araxion;
County of Cape Farewell;
City and County of Eliria;
County of Illumination and Cimmeria;
County of Íseirdia-la-Vraulalennir;
Duchy of Raikoth.
Finally, try as we might, there are bound to have been instances during the Auspicious Occasion where, contrary to our sincere wishes, acts repugnant to the Constitution may have occurred. I feel it is therefore prudent to advise your Majesty to grant a free and full pardon to all Elwynnese and Imperial citizens who participated in the Auspicious Occasion, the overthrow of the Daemonic Vanic State and the commencement of your glorious and enlightened rule.
For the purpose of drafting instruments of government I enclose an example from the era of the Coordinated State which provides sufficient detail to permit the decree to be fulfilled whilst avoiding the grotesque pre-ambulatory flummery so beloved by the Daemonic Vanic State:
Daniel Sikander Dravot,
Royal Instructing Justice of Elwynn
