Okay, that seems fair. Barring any objections, then, the vote is over. It's possible that S:reu Tzaracomprada may have wished to voice opposition for the record, but he has previously endorsed the bill and if he really felt strongly about it no doubt he would have found time to speak up in the past couple of months. So the Body of Law Act is passed, and shall be entered into the record soon by the person whose appointment it demands: the Grand Specific Undersecretary. And now we have some laws! Congratulations! 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previously enacted by any representative groups or individuals for the Province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic are hereby repealed and are considered to be null and void.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. Sponsored by S:reu Alexander Davis. Passed by the Provincial Assembly of Maritiimi-Maxhestic on 9/9/2010.

I would like to make another motion, if it doesn't strain everyone's patience too greatly. I motion that we elect the Grand Specific Undersecretary.
For nominations, I would like to nominate myself to be Grand Specific Undersecretary. My reasons are that it is a small amount of work that I know how to do and I am willing to do it.

According to A3, the province of Cézembre does not recognize part VI of this act. We can do nothing else but laugh at your sillyness.

I thank S:reu Lorentzescu for his vote: attentive and helpful as always, S:reu! I also vote for myself.
I also thank the visitor from the portion of Maritiimi-Maxhestic now known as Cézembre for his comment, although he is sadly mistaken.

I would like to cast my vote for the Seneschal as well. And concur with his last comment concerning the new region of the M-M dominion formerly known as Cezembre.

I know I'm new here - so I apologise if I am making a faux-pas - but IF Cézembre is a part of M-M (which the Body of Law act falsely claims it to be) THEN all citizens of Cézembre should have been informed of this act, and permitted to vote on it. I suspect (but, of course, I cannot predict the result of a democratic vote) that there would have been a HUGE vote contra. Citizens of Cézembre were not informed, as discussion of this proposed act took place in a private, non-Cézembre area. IN ANY CASE the Body of Law Act has been invalidly voted upon: if Cézembre is a part of Maritiimi-Maxhestic then for a proposed act to be validly considered it must be presented to - and open to voting by - all citizens of Cézembre, otherwise we have denied universal franchise. If, on the other hand (and as has happened) universal franchise has been denied, then the act cannot have been validly passed. Logic trumps power. Your move.

Unfortunately, we have not yet enfranchised our Cézembre citizens of Maritiimi-Maxhestic. At an unspecified past date we attempted to do so, but unspecified individuals forced us not to through unspecified means. But it's all very hush-hush. If you take an oath of loyalty, we will gladly tell you all about it.
