Byeday Harvestrise 30th, 156 AL Ratification of the Slavegate Treaty

WHEREAS certain written undertakings to refrain from military aggression have been obtained from the Imperial Republic of Shireroth in the form of the Slavegate Treaty of Peace and Civility, AND WHEREAS this does not necessarily exorcise the spectre of Shirerithian invasion yet does give pause to hawkish elements in Shirekeep by significantly increasing the level of legal and moral turpitude required to perform such a heinous act, thus representing a net good to the Garden of Kalgachia, AND WHEREAS certain legal entities incorporated by the aforesaid treaty are liable to afford further benefit to the Garden of Kalgachia, AND WHEREAS the reciprocal commitments of the Garden of Kalgachia in the service of the aforesaid treaty are judged to be of negligible harm to the free exercise of Kalgachi sovereignty in view of the benefits obtained,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI duly enacts and declares the ratification of the Slavegate Treaty of Peace and Civility on behalf of the Garden of Kalgachia.

2. The copy of the aforesaid treaty so ratified by the Council of Perfecti is to be conveyed to the town of Slavegate in the Lieutenancy of Katarsis where, in accordance with the provisions of the treaty, it will remain until it can be released into the custody of officials of the Shirerithian Ministry of the Exterior in exchange for the Shirerithian copy ratified by the Landsraad.

Byeday Harvestrise 20th, 155 AL Issuance of Armaments Production Licence

WHEREAS a market for boutique firearms has arisen elsewhere on the Benacian continent, AND WHEREAS it is incumbent upon the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning to diversify the Kalgachi export portfolio as it matures through the stages of Minarborian asset recovery and Froyalanish labour savings such that the improvement of the Kalgachi standard of living is sustained, AND WHEREAS the export of boutique firearms does not necessarily emperil national security as was the case with certain larger armaments contracts during the Minarborian era,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI hereby authorises the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning to issue licence for Assayer Armaments of Shireroth to put the Fischer-Preiss No.1 Semi-automatic carbine back into production, retaining all aspects of walnut stock, differential tempering, hand-tooling and milling which distinguish that model from its cheaper cousins.

The Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning is authorised and commanded to marshal such experienced gunsmiths from Kalgachi munitions factories as are necessary to establish a new production regime for the Fischer-Preiss No.1, and to dispatch them to the Shirerithian city of Avakair with such critical blueprints, tooling and dies as are necessary for same, their passage facilitated wherever possible and diplomatically appropriate by assets of the Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes.

3. The licence is issued on the condition that Assayer Armaments limits production of the Fischer-Preiss No.1 to one hundred articles per annum Nortone.

Rustleday Harvestrise 3rd, 154 AL Statement on the Xhusor Independence Referendum

WHEREAS it has recently become fashionable for nations to pass comment on the prospect of an Independence Referendum in the restive Florian province of Xhusor, NOTWITHSTANDING the fate of the Apollonian peoples being of near-zero cultural or geopolitical relevance to the Garden of Kalgachia, a landlocked Benacian state, and OBSERVING that other Micran powers do not appear to consider their own distance from the situation to be in any way an obstacle to the lodgement of official comment, AND WHEREAS the Kalgachi state, transitioning as it is from the existentially perilous to the comfortably bureaucratic, has nothing better to do at this time,

1. The COUNCIL of PERFECTI hereby authorises and commands the Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes to convey a statement on the Xhusor Independence Referendum to such foreign media organisations as are willing to report it.

2. The Directorate of Education and Outreach is similarly authorised and commanded to broadcast said statement on the hourly news programme of Summit 1 Radio.

3. The content of said statement shall be as follows:

+ + +

For all the shock tactics and barbarism of the Xhusor Liberation Army, it must not be forgotten that regional seperatism is ultimately a manifestation of a government's failure to provide for the moral and material welfare of a given population - whether by ethnic bigotry, technocratic indifference or sheer incompetence. That the Florian Republic's oversight in this regard has festered long enough to provoke armed uprising can only reflect badly on the government of that Republic, and indicates above all other things an accumulation of metropolitan hubris which has long since exceeded the bounds of sustainability. That the more moderate seperatists of Xhusor have, by announcing an independence referendum, made a noble attempt to divert the frustrations of Xhusor's people into a more peaceful form is to be commended - that the Florian government has chosen to respond by deploying troops to prevent such an initiative effectively signals its refusal to resolve the situation by peaceful means, forcing the people of Xhusor to commit fully to armed conflict as the only means of expressing themselves. One can only assume that this sequence of events has been deliberately set in motion by powerful elements within the Florian deep state, representing whatever passes for a military-industrial complex in that nation and standing to gain immensely in wealth and influence as a result of the Xhusor conflict's continuation. The only other explanation for so openly crushing Xhusor's only hope of peace would be strategic stupiudity of the highest order. Being far removed from events on the ground however, the Garden of Kalgachia remains undecided as to which of these scenarios is applicable in Xhusor's case.

Pleaseday Summerhigh 29th, 150 AL The Two Year Plan of 150-152 AL
