Yes, if it gets ratified, we'll need to change a few elements of the Constitution. Certainly, but does anything need changed before the treaty is approved?

I'd suggest a three-part referendum, succeeding or failing as a whole. Here's some rough language.
I. Ratification of treaty. (see text on page 7) II. Changes to constitution.
The following article shall be inserted into the Constitution of Maritiimi-Maxhestic, and succeeding article renumbered accordingly:
III. Maritiimi-Maxhestic shall be governed by a joint assembly, the terms of which shall be approved by a majority of citizens in a referendum. The laws and acts of this Joint Assembly shall be binding upon the province, except where they shall interfere with the Constitution of Maritiimi-Maxhestic or with the Organic Law. Should no joint assembly be approved by the citizens of the province, or should the governing treaty be dissolved, then governing power shall devolve to the Provincial Assembly of Maritiimi-Maxhestic, as delineated in Article IV.
III. Initial set-up of Joint Assembly.
I. Pursuant to the terms of the treaty with Vuode, the initial make-up of the Maritiimi-Maxhestic delegation to the Joint Assembly shall be as follows: all parties shall proceed through the customary process of winning and assigning seats, as detailed in the Constitution. Chosen members of the Assembly shall then serve as delegates to the Joint Assembly, and the Grand General Secretary shall serve as Tribune for Maritiimi-Maxhestic.

What happens to the laws that each province has already passed? I was working on an updated Body of Law Act which would include all of our laws (like el Lexhatx; we had discussed this earlier), but that might be moot depending on how Vuode's pre-existing laws are incorporated into our laws, and how new laws would be incorporated.

That's a good point. We'll need to add a section that repeals all of our statutes, and then pass an amended Body of Law act in the joint Assembly.

Maybe I should make a body of law with just MM statutes for now, and then add in some Vuodean provisions when this project gets off the ground again.
