Räumung des Waldes

The Räumung des Waldes, which means Clearance of the Forest in South-Cibolan Saxon was a law signed by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen in 1716 that made it illegal to maintain domicile in the Lanzerwald further than two times sixty kilometres away from the near-agglomeration of Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen and Altdorf (formerly known as Oudorp). While perhaps alien to foreign eyes, the Räumung des Waldes was recognisable to the eyes of all people in the Lanzerwald as just a more extreme version of Lanzerwaldian nationality law in which all other cities were stripped of their city rights. Goal of the law was to make the Lanzerwald more governable, with the large distances between the cities enabling rebellions and foreign infiltration. The law was repealed in III.1718 when after the accession of the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen into the Raspur Pact, the threat of an invasion by any of the republic's neighbours was reduced to near-zero. Able to fully deploy all its armed forces against the undocumented natives living in the Lanzerwald, a new power balance was achieved and recognised by the undocumented natives, which sought to reconcile with the republic. All major settlements of undocumented natives were absorbed into the republic and recognised as legitimate settlements.
