THE KINGDOMS AND LANDS OF THE CROWN OF RUTHENIA AND THE LANDS REPRESENTED IN THE COUNCIL OF KARNIA
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
His Excellency, the President of the House of Representatives, in exercise of the powers conferred to him, feels that it is desirable to make this Petition for the purpose of, in full harmony with the Imperial Constitution, of the following matters:

I.Presented earlier, we need your excellencies to create an Internal Regiment for the House of Representatives and vote it. Failure to do so is serious affront to the Constitution, and having sworn to protect and fulfill it, your excellencies must resolve this matter immediately, since your excellencies have also sworn to uphold it and to fulfill it.


This notion passes. We hereby request the creation of an Internal Regiment for the House of Representatives.


II. Presented earlier, we need your excellencies to deliberate on the right to multiple citizenship for our citizens, as this may interfere with the reading of our constitutional text and the subject has already been presented to the House, without having been put to the vote.


This notion passes. We hereby request the allowance of dual/multiple micro-national citizenships.


III.Presented earlier, we need your excellencies to deliberate on possession, consumption and apology to narcotics. Topic never discussed before, relevant to our society, mentioned and never voted.


This notion passes. We hereby request the creation of a Ministry of Health, with the following responsibilities, as proposed by Michael ofAppinfeldt:
* Schedule 1: Such narcotic compounds or unitary drugs would normally require a prescription from a duly qualified medical professional,

* Schedule 2: Such narcotic compounds or unitary drugs defined as being currently in general and unregulated use, including - but not limited to - such substances as caffeine, wherein the narcotic in question is an integral component of the substance, as in coffee or tea



IV. Presented earlier, we need your excellencies to deliberate on the criminalization of psychological terrorism, which unfortunately constitutes a real plague in a virtual environment and that has already caused damage to the citizens of the Empire, and should be, if it is the will of your excellencies, be debated.


This notion passes. We hereby request that criminal activities, primarily concerning terrorism, be punished to the furthest extent of Karno-Ruthenian law.


V.Presented earlier, we need your excellencies to discuss plagiarism and piracy, recurring subject matter through countless attempts at plagiarism that our national symbols, constitution, laws and other documents suffer. The subject is very relevant and yet never deliberated by your excellencies.


This notion passes. We hereby request that the laws concerning plagiarism and piracy be formally codified by the Ministry of Justice and Imperial Supreme Court.


SAW. Also presented earlier, we need your excellencies to discuss legislation that defines roles, duties, and prerogatives to regional rulers. The path to this legislation was opened by the constitution and, considering the origin of the current members of this Diet, we believe that it is in the best interest of your excellencies to create this legislation.


This notion passes. We hereby request that regional rulers be allowed to act in the best interest of their respective territories, however, as long as these interests to no infringe upon Karno-Ruthenian law, also recognizing that the Empire holds conditional supremacy of law over all constituent member-states.


VII.It is, after so many matters already brought up for discussion in this Diet, that the following are new, beginning with the deliberation of your excellencies about foreign affairs. On 13 July 2017 diplomatic recognition was signed with the Principality of Padmé. However, on 01 December of the same year, the project underwent significant changes: it changed its name, its geographical reference and culture, becoming the Kingdom of Barin. His Royal Majesty, the King of the Baronites, sought our Diplomatic Service to make the diplomatic official situation among our micronations. On the positive recommendation of the Ambassador-at-Large for the Lusophone Sector, Count Karácsony, We submit to the Imperial Diet the approval or refusal of diplomatic ties with the now Kingdom of Barin. Voting on this subject requires MAXIMUM URGENCY.


This notion passes. We approve of the diplomatic relationship between the Empire of Karnia-Ruthena and the Kingdom of Barin.


VIII. It was already our will some time ago and discussed with the then Imperial Chancellor last year the desire to change the geography of the Empire in two points. The first would be to deliver the Grand Duchy of Gaussland to a micronation responsible and committed to protecting Antarctica. The annexation of Gaussland took place in a context of diplomatic interest, but it was an environmental concern that we may not have developed to the satisfaction, which makes me question the viability of the endeavor, so we ask your excellencies whether the Grand Duchy of Gaussland must remain a member state of the Empire or if we should seek our greatest ally in the region, the Grand Duchy of Flanders, and deliver the region into their care.


This notion passes. We hereby approve the transfer of the Grand Duchy of Gaussland to the Grand Duchy of Flandrensis.


The second subject in this sense, more recent, is the stay of the Principality of the Scotia in the Empire. This micronation violates the petition made in the past to join the Empire, presented no additions to our culture or society, and does not meet our diplomatic goals, so that it is not feasible to maintain it, and knowing diplomatic provisions about our diplomacy, We ask this House to deliberate the matter and to guide Your Sovereign in the above mentioned subjects.


This notion does not pass. By majority vote, we hereby request that the Principality of the Scotia remain under Imperial rule and leadership. Furthermore, we request that a new leader be appointed over the territory.

My Lords,

As it stands, the crux of debate seems center on Item VIII.

In the House decision concerning this Item, Appinfeldt voted a "conditional Yea". Upon further review of the Constitution, We find it necessary to revoke Our conditional "Yea". In doing so, We must cite Article 4 of the Constitution of Thirteen August, Two Thousand & Sixteen, which specifically includes Gaussland as being among the core territories of the Empire. If Acrin (as cited here) - as well as Scotia and Hakodate - are retained under the direct control of the Office of the Emperor, pending the appointment of a Ruler to occupy the vacancy, then a Constitutional precedent has been established. This means, to Our mind, that either a new Constitution or, at the very least a Constitutional Amendment, must be made before Gaussland, or any other core territory of the Empire, can be transferred to an external party, no matter how worthy.

Appinfeldt finds that such a viewpoint in no way conflicts or impedes a Ruler subsequently ascending to such a vacancy in a core territory from leaving the Empire of their own accord, via the normal process of termination of such treaties as may have joined that State to the Empire originally.

Thus, Appinfeldt must now stand in opposition to the transfer of Gaussland to Flandrensis, as it requires modifications to the Constitution that do not currently exist in law. Appinfeldt further wishes to stress that no ill will or malice is directed towards the Grand Duchy of Flandrensis in its decision, as no such is intended or applied.
