Fourth Meeting of the Assembly

[Breneir Itravilatx]

Thank you Seneschal, being the nominator of S:reu Preston...it should be no surprise that I vote for....S:reu Preston.

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

I DEMAND A RECOUNT!

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

We stand at 4 of 5 votes for S:reu Preston, and 1 vote for Anyone Else.

A recount has been demanded. And now it's done.

S:reu Preston is recognized by overwhelming majority as the Grand General Secretary.

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

I would like to introduce for consideration the following bill. After a few days, if there are no objections or suggestions, I will move it go to a floor vote.

Body of Law Act

I

Whereas the long history of our province is shrouded in the mystery imposed by shoddy record-keeping and long periods of dictatorship and apathy,

And whereas the many previous laws passed by the predecessors of this Assembly or the dictatorial equivalent are mostly unknown and lost,

And whereas ignorance of the law is a pretty good excuse in this case, and that's not good,

It is resolved by this Assembly that all statutes, laws, and regulations previously enacted by any representative groups or individuals for the Province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic are hereby repealed and are considered to be null and void.

II

Furthermore, whereas this Assembly wishes such a tabula rasa to be a one-time occurrence,

And whereas we need to record our laws and thus need someone to record them,

It is resolved by this Assembly that there shall exist an office of Grand Specific Undersecretary. The Grand Specific Undersecretary is charged by the Assembly to take such reasonable actions as he or she might deem necessary to preserve and publicize the constitution and laws of the province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic. There are no specific qualifications to be Grand Specific Undersecretary, the term of office is one hundred years. The Grand Specific Undersecretary shall be appointed by majority vote of the Assembly as often as is thought necessary.

III

Furthermore, whereas there are some important items that the people of Maritiimi-Maxhestic wish to be enshrined in law that may no longer be enshrined in law subsequent to the massive de-enshrinement of this act,

It is resolved by this Assembly that the official motto of this province is "Onward! Upward! Forward!"

It is resolved by this Assembly that the official demonym for a resident of Maritiimi-Maxhestic is "Maritiimi-Maxhestian."

It is resolved by this Assembly that the official sandwich for the province is the Monte Cristo sandwich, which consists of cheese and other ingredients placed between two slices of bread, after which the whole is dipped in batter and fried. It is customarily served with a pickle.

It is resolved by this Assembly that the territory of Maritiimi-Maxhestic shall be that area previously referred to as cantons 109 and 153, and that these cantons shall be known as Maritiimi and Port Maxhestic, respectively.

It is resolved that the appropriate form of direct address for the Grand General Secretary and any member of the Provincial Assembly of Maritiimi-Maxhestic shall be Segnor. The less formal abbreviation of S:reu shall also be acceptable. The least formal abbreviation of S:r shall be allowed, but not preferred. If it becomes necessary to use specific titles, then the Grand General Secretary shall be called Grand General Secretary and a member of the Assembly shall be called Assemblyperson.

IV

Furthermore, because renumbering sections is a chore,

It is resolved by this Assembly that the province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic is generally opposed to bad things and supportive of good things.

V

Furthermore, because it is true,

It is resolved by this Assembly that the Province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic is the best province.

VI

Furthermore, because of their great woe and unanimous appeals for rescue, and

As we are the mightiest province of mercy, and must accordingly betake ourselves to come to the aid of any in need, and

Since the lovely Isle of Cézembre cries for succor,

It is resolved by this Assembly that the Isle of Cézembre is considered to be the rightful domain of the most glorious province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic. This fact will never be forgotten, and we shall make every effort to stretch out our hand to our downtrodden allies.

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

Can we re-canvass the voters?

[Istefan Lorentzescu]

NO

With all due respect, Grand General Secretary Preston :-)

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

Can't we at least vote on re-canvassing the voters?

[Breneir Itravilatx]

Congratulations to our new GGS, Mick Preston! And as a member of the Assembly I will be supporting the Body of Law Act.

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

It doesn't appear as though there are any objections, so I am going to ask for a floor vote on the above-given Body of Law Act. I vote Per.

[Istefan Lorentzescu]

Sorry this is a bit late will this nullify the Constitution

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

No, it operates entirely within our constitution.

[Glüc da Dhi]

Eehm, about that Cézembre part....

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

Don't worry, we'll pass it as soon as we can, and free your people.

MUHAHAHA

[Alèx Soleighlfred]

As a Senator of Cezembre, may I demonstrate my strongest displasure on this part:

"Since the lovely Isle of Cézembre cries for succor,
It is resolved by this Assembly that the Isle of Cézembre is considered to be the rightful domain of the most glorious province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic. This fact will never be forgotten, and we shall make every effort to stretch out our hand to our downtrodden allies."

sorry guys, but we will do like this: we do not claim M-M to be our domain - you do not claim Cezembre to be yours.
