As a result, only orders of national or diplomatic importance are featured on the official roll.

'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI hereby amends the [[Oktavyan Code]] to the Winterise 10th, 166 Revision, concerned primarily with formalising and further establishing the manifest chthonarchy of the Kalgachi bureaucracy on judicial proceedings, [[Economy of Kalgachia|currency standards, land rights,]] [[Ketherism|religious]] and [[Kalgachia#Society|nationality]] matters, diplomatic immunity and subsurface habitation.
'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order announces and compels into effect the rulings of the Extraordinary Grand Council of 1684, as follows:


'''2.''' The Winterise 10th, 166 Revision of the Oktavyan Code attains immediate effect from the publication of this Order.
'''a)''' Upon the matter of the chastisement of the conduct of the Garden in the [[Inner-Benacian Conflict|recent conflict]] by [[Lord Toastypops]], and the atonement therefore:

'''i.''' That the Chairman of the Council of Perfecti, General Witold Pommerovsky, and diverse other members of that body, tender their resignations and submit to a period of rehabilitation by the Church, their numbers to be replaced immediately.
| Thanksday Winterise 14th, 164 AL || Final Cessation of Froyalanish Labour Imports || <div align=center><br><br>[[file:Kalgachiaseal.png]]<br><br>'''WHEREAS the production licence agreement between the [[Kalgachia#The Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning|The Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning]] and Assayer Armaments of [[Shireroth|Shirerithian]] [[Goldshire]] of the format mandated in the year 155 ''Anno Libertatis'' has, in light of Kalgachia's recent and enlighted emancipation of its [[Kalgachia#The Froyalanish|Froyalanish]] population, as well as the managed withering of the Froyalanish population of Goldshirian Wintergleam, encountered difficulties with regard to the continued palatability of accepting [[Community Service Workers|bonded Froyalanish labourers]] as payment and the sourcing of reliable specimens of same from within Goldshire, AND WHEREAS Assayer Armaments has offered a substitute means of recompense for its licensed production of Kalgachi small arms,'''


'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI instructs the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning to accept the proffered licence from Assayer Armaments to produce the [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=157681#p157681 Model 6719 heavy semi-automatic rifle] within the DLEP's deep-level munitions factories, adhering to a production limit of one hundred articles ''per annum Nortone'' in harmonious alignment with that established for the production of Kalgachi arms by Assayer Armaments.
'''b)''' Upon the matter of the outcome of the recent conflict and the [[Treaty of Gloomburg]] which followed it:


'''2.''' All Kalgachi production of the Model 6719 will be allotted to the Special Purpose Regiment of the [[Military of Kalgachia#The Kalgachi Defence Force|The Kalgachi Defence Force]] for trials and operational acceptance.
'''i.''' That the Garden, in the interests of preserving its citizens and faith from dissolution by the Celestial Archons, mournfully confirms the provisions of the Treaty of Gloomburg, and furthermore acknowledges that it is is clear that the conflict ended by the Treaty represents an encroachment of the influence of the Celestial Archons into the very thoughts of many of those tasked with preserving the Garden from that same influence.


'''2.''' The Extraordinary Grand Council is hereby dissolved. ''Hortus Manet. Hortus Resurget.''

'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI henceforth proclaims the successive days of Harvestfall 30th and Winterise 1st to comprise the '''Feast of Lord Toastypops''', wherein the first day concerns the remembrance of our fallen ancestors and the giving of thanks for their travails which, since the very first sprouting of [[Minarboria#Religion|Minarbor]] have helped to obtain the resplendent liberties presently enjoyed by the Kalgachi people in the face of spectres imperial - the second day being devoted to the exchange of gifts, the company of friends, and the enjoyment of these things in accordance with the will of our departed ancestors and of Lord Toastypops himself.
'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order approves and enacts the appontment of one '''[[Jeremiah Avon-El]]''' as Chairman of the Pachadsberg Development Committee, furnished with the powers granted to that post by the Order of Council dated Summerfall 3rd, 224 AL.
 
'''2.''' All employers in the Garden of Kalgachia shall, for the duration of the Feast of Lord Toastypops, refrain from non-essential duties such that the greatest possible portion of their workforce can be afforded leave to enjoy the occasion.
 
''Hortus Manet.''

| Pleaseday Harvestfall 17th, 161 AL || Froyalanish Emancipation || <div align=center><br><br>[[file:Kalgachiaseal.png]]<br><br>'''WHEREAS the Froyalanish population of Kalgachia, by hard and honest toil for the betterment of the Kalgachi nation over several years, has achieved some measure of redemption from the historical disgrace of enabling the rapacious excesses of their erstwhile [[Stormark|Storish]] king in [[Elwynn]], and in doing so has repaid much of its wider moral debt to the sovereign peoples of [[Benacia]], YET WHEREAS their reward, while doubtless due, requires great care and diligence in its implimentation to prevent economic disruption and socio-memetic blowback,'''

'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI instructs all Kalgachi employers to release their contingent of Froyalanish labourers from bondage no later than the end of the year 162 ''[[Kalgachia#Calendar|Anno Libertatis]]''.
'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order dismisses one [[House of Yastreb#Rubina Yastreb|Rubina Xantievna Prepodava Yastreb]] from her duties as Lady Lieutenant of Oktavyan and from her commission in the [[Military of Kalgachia#The Kalgachi Defence Force|Kalgachi Defence Force]]. The Prefects are instructed to detain her personage immediately.


'''2.''' Froyalaners thus freed are to be offered formal citizenship of Kalgachia. Those accepting may retain their previous employment on a voluntary basis or else seek alternative employment as they wish, remunerated by a minimum wage of one [[Economy_of_Kalgachia#Currency|Millirand]] per hour. Those declining Kalgachi citizenship are to be escorted to the Kalgachi frontier and released into the ungoverned Green.
'''2.''' One [[House of Yastreb#Caustifer Yastreb|Caustifer Royevich Lotchika Yastreb]] is dismissed from his positions at the [[Economy of Kalgachia#Currency|Reserve Bank of Kalgachia]], the [[Octavian Import-Export Corporation]] and the [[Pachadsberg Special Recreational Zone|Pachadsberg Development Committee]]. The Prefects are instructed to detain his personage immediately.


'''3.''' For the purposes of ethnic parity, the minimum wage of one Millirand per hour is extended to all Kalgachi workers.
'''3.''' One Falcifer Xantievich Yastreb is dismissed from his positions in deep service. The Prefects are instructed to detain his personage immediately.


'''4.''' All importation of Froyalanish labourers from beyond Kalgachia is terminated, as are all exports purchased with such, with the exception of those Froyalaners obtained through the Assayer Armaments contract who shall be released from their bondage upon arrival in Kalgachia and processed per Item 2 of this order.
'''4.''' All ranks of the KDF Fire Division and Special Purpose Regiment more senior than Captain, all officials of the [[Kalgachia#The Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning|Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning]] more senior than Warden and all employees of the Octavian Import-Export Corporation residing on Kalgachi territory are to be subject to inquisition by the Prefects in relation to the precipitating events of This Order.

| Pleaseday Harvestrise 2nd, 227 AL || Rulings of the Extraordinary Grand Council of 226 || <div align=center><br>'''WHEREAS the Extraordinary Grand Council commenced in the Year of Our Shrub Two Hundred And Twenty Six has reached sufficient concord upon the contents of its agenda to dissolve and disperse to its ordinary duties, AND WHEREAS it is the right and duty of every Kalgachi citizen to be appraised of its conclusions,'''


'''5.''' Froyalaners arriving in Kalgachia by any means shall continue to be detained and sterilised before their release into the general population. Married couples comprising no more than one sterilised Froyalaner may, however, adopt children under the full and rigorous supervision of the Church of Kalgachia.
'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order announces and compels into effect the rulings of the Extraordinary Grand Council of 226, as follows:


'''6.''' The practice of the Vanic religion by any person within Kalgachia, including any invocation of Vanic deities or maxims arising from idiomatic expressions in the Froyalanish tongue, remains a capital crime to be tried by Lord Lieutenant's tribunal with a minimum sentence of underground confinement without the right of correspondence. Vanic proselytisation by any person within Kalgachia remains a capital crime to be met upon reasonable suspicion of guilt by the immediate and unceremonious termination of the offender by the nearest private citizen or person of authority physically capable of carrying out the act, who shall transfer the remains of the condemned with all due expedition to the secure custody of the local Parish Credent, thence at the earliest possible convenience to the Troglodyti who shall conduct the appropriate rituals of banishment and warding upon said remains before their final disposal.
'''a)''' Upon the matter of the congelation of the [[Benacia|Benacian]] continent into [[Stormark|Vanic]]-[[Batavia|Batavian]] and [[Raspur Pact]] poles of influence outlain by Kalgachia, [[Tellia]] and the [[Guttuli Protectorate|Guttuli]], the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:


'''7.''' Parishes with a majority Mishalanski population are closed to Froyalaners for the latter's own safety.
'''i)''' That the Garden will accept the present Benacian geopolitical order as the most practical manifestation of the [[Kalgachia#Foreign Policy|Goltz Doctrine]] available in the circumstances, whilst continuing to oppose the intrusion of Storish or any other off-continent colonial entities in all of their manifestations. A policy of peaceful, if not necessarily affectionate relations toward all Benacian states shall prevail.


</div>
'''b)''' Upon the matter of the fall of the [[House of Verion]] in Batavia, the rebalancing of that kingdom's legislature and executive, the resumption of the multinational veto on Kalgachia's off-continent commerce (the ''[[Li Naomiai|Naomiai]] Protocol'') and the mutual hedging of Batavian and [[UGB]] trade routes, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:


|-
'''i)''' That notions of economic damage arising from the above event have been greatly exaggerated and seemingly confused with those circumstances afflicting the Garden at the turn of this century, when its domestic economy and infrastructure were considerably less developed and more exposed to fluctuations in foreign trade. Those elements of the [[Kalgachia#The Directorate of Labour and Eocnomic Planning|DLEP]] and [[Octavian Import-Export Corporation|affiliated entities]] in a personal position to benefit financially from the promotion of such alarmist scenarios are presently being held to account. The capricious nature of [[Micras|Micran]] geopolitics ensures that the external conditions required to cripple the Kalgachi economy in its present state would need to be applied for considerably longer than the lifetime of the average Benacian regime. The matter is therefore of minimal strategic importance, provided the Garden retains the capability to exploit fluctuations in external events as and where required.
| Byeday Harvestrise 30th, 156 AL || Ratification of the Slavegate Treaty || <div align=center><br><br>[[file:Kalgachiaseal.png]]<br><br>'''WHEREAS certain written undertakings to refrain from military aggression have been obtained from the Imperial Republic of [[Shireroth]] in the form of the [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20311 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.
'''c)''' Upon the matter of the threshold between sustainable military assistance to the Protectorates and strategic haemorrhaging of the hinterland, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:


'''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]].
'''i)''' That a standing armed force will be established for the [[Upland Confederation]], around those cadres presently under the command of Ataman Ҳazedinov and his ''Iezauli''.


'''3.''' One Konstantin Shazarovich Rufin, Chief Emissary of the [[Kalgachia#The Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes|Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes]], is granted a bounty of One Hundred [[Economy of Kalgachia#Currency|Kalgarrand]] in recognition of his work upon the aforesaid treaty.
'''d)''' Upon the matter of the threshold between the net gain obtained by stockpiling of non-native raw materials and the net drain incurred by their storage and preservation, and upon the hypothecated existence of a causative resonance between the Kalgachi government's indulgence of the Pecuniary Archon and the simultaneous torpor of the Salvators [[Lord Toastypops]] the Jolly and Celestine the Broodmother, and their relation to the amonetarist pronouncements of the Salvator Lyssansa the Blue, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:


</div>
'''i)''' That the Pecuniary Archon, where it can be held to its own transactional pretext, remains capable of being turned toward the objectives of the Garden; the threshold of harm is crossed when it grows beyond its complementary role and begins to displace other, more essential spheres of activity. Foreign trade, while demonstrably useful, has decreased its own relevance through heavy contribution to national commodity stockpiles yet its position amid the priorities of government has been exponentially inflated, often on the pretext of diplomatic value which is nonetheless a benefit of kind rather than degree. Existing trade arrangements through both the Batavian and Gubernatorial routes will therefore be rationalised, regularised, and reduced to a steady state that offsets the depletion of non-native raw material stockpiles without adding to them overall. This in turn will allow the DLEP to stabilise the resource burden incurred by stockpile maintenance. A renewed emphasis will be placed on Kalgachia's economic relationship with the Protectorates.


|-
'''f)''' Upon the matter of characteristics of the Minarboreal Civilisational Space capable of outlasting the present sovereignty of the Kalgachi state and options for their cultivation to continental relevance in geopolitically inert and unpervertable form, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:
| Byeday Harvestrise 20th, 155 AL || Issuance of Armaments Production Licence || <div align=center><br><br>[[file:Kalgachiaseal.png]]<br><br>'''WHEREAS a market for boutique firearms has arisen elsewhere on the [[Benacia|Benacian]] continent, AND WHEREAS it is incumbent upon the [[Kalgachia#Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning|Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning]] to diversify the Kalgachi export portfolio as it matures through the stages of [[Minarboria|Minarborian]] asset recovery and [[Community Service Workers|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 [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20252 Assayer Armaments] of [[Shireroth]] to put the [http://micras.org/wiki/images/9/92/FischerPreiss.png 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.
'''i)''' That any lasting advancement of Minarboreal modes of thought or existence beyond Kalgachia's frontiers will depend heavily upon a recontextualisation of the undead and [[Deep Singers|Deep Singer]] races - those ''Benefactors'' whose legacy is rejected by every successor nation except Kalgachia - as agents of a temporary intervention by the Ketheric host to compensate for a degenerative surge in the primate tendencies of humanity toward vandalism, rhetorical howling and ritualised humiliation in the period between the first secession of [[Elwynn]] from [[Shireroth]] and the [[shire:Auspicious Occasion|Auspicious Occasion]]. The Benefactors' successors in Kalgachia and its affiliate realms are to be interpreted as transitioning the birthright thus obtained from the biological to the memetic, in recognition of the fact that the Benefactors' intervention is concluding and that the indefinite existence of physical specimens of the Ketheric host in the realm of matter, whilst it remains afflicted by its present archonic taint, would be unsustainable and decohering. To prevent another intervention it is necessary for those of mundane biological origin to take the lead in sustaining the Laws of the Garden and their secular manifestations in heart and mind, in fulfilment of their rightful role as custodians of the thorny hedge of physicality seperating the Garden Ketheric and the Tumultuous Wastes. Only then can Minarboreal Civilisation move beyond its Caverdenian origins of gratuitous, spine-chilling otherness and find beneficient relevance in the lives of ordinary Benacians.


'''2.''' 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 [[Kalgachia#Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes|Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes]].
'''g)''' On the matter of the role of the [[The Lot of a Lichnik/3|unlife]], [[Media of Kalgachia#The Good, The Bad And The Shrubly|life]] and works of one Vascarina Goldcluck in Kalgachi folk belief and their status in [[Ketherism|Ketherist]] theology, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:


'''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''.
'''i)''' That '''Vascarina Goldcluck''', Lichling of Novodolorsk, Sand-Sifter of Bereliggle Bay and Chosen Guide of the ''Radix Salvator'' Minarbor unto the end of His worldly corpor, is henceforth to be considered a '''Salvator of the Garden''', canonical to the scriptures of established Ketherism, for her accompaniment of the Shrub of Shrubs to a telluric energy rhizome in the dying days of his namesake empire, whence His Rustling Countenance was redeemed from the face of this world by paraphysical forces and restored to the Great Garden Beyond. Her liturgical invocation shall be performed by the casting of sand over the heads of the faithful, the shaping of said substance into artistic objects or the release of live crows.


'''4.''' The Council of Perfecti graciously accepts the sum of one Ryker (100 persons) of contractually-obliged Froyalanish labourers ''per annum Nortone'' offered by Assayer Armaments as a licence fee. The individuals concerned shall be integrated within the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning's Central Labour Pool and assigned as the Directorate sees fit.
'''ii)''' That neither credence nor censure can be granted to claims that the Salvator Vascarina, or her corvine companion Birdy, were miraculously restored to life upon the dematerialisation of the Shrub and continue to walk the land in biological immortality. The belief is to be considered neither canonical nor heretical.


'''5.''' Pursuant to the requests of [[shire:Assayers|certain gentlemen]] of numismatic expertise in the Avakair locality, the visiting delegation of Kalgachi gunsmiths shall release into the posession of said gentlemen a gratuity of one [[Kalgachia#Economy and Infrastructure|Kalgarrand]] plus one coin of each Kalgarrand subdenomination, such that their metallurgical qualities can be assessed and confirmed in the interests of wider numismatic integrity.
'''2.''' The Extraordinary Grand Council is hereby dissolved. ''Hortus Manet. Hortus Resurget.''

| Rustleday Harvestrise 3rd, 154 AL || Statement on the Xhusor Independence Referendum || <div align=center><br><br>[[file:Kalgachiaseal.png]]<br><br>'''WHEREAS it has recently become fashionable for nations to pass comment on the prospect of an [[Xhusor Referendum of Independence|Independence Referendum]] in the restive [[Florian Republic|Florian]] province of [[Xhusor]], NOTWITHSTANDING the fate of the [[Apollonia|Apollonian]] peoples being of near-zero cultural or geopolitical relevance to the Garden of [[Kalgachia]], a landlocked [[Benacia|Benacian]] state, and OBSERVING that other [[Micras|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 [[Kalgachia#The Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes|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.
'''1.''' THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order summons the [[Kalgachia#Provincial Governance|Lords Lieutenant]] of Abrek, Bergburg, Jollity, Katarsis, Lithead, Oktavyan and Schlepogora, the Resectors of the Holy Synod of the [[Kalgachia#The Church of Kalgachia|Church of Kalgachia]], the General Staff of the [[Military of Kalgachia#The Kalgachi Defence Force|Kalgachi Defence Force]] and the Lords Protector of [[Lapivril]], [[Lepidopterum]], [[Northbloom]] and the [[Upland Confederation]] to convene in '''Extraordinary Grand Council''' at the Cathedral of Heaven's Conquest in Oktavyan.


'''2.''' The [[Kalgachia#The Directorate of Education and Outreach|Directorate of Education and Outreach]] is similarly authorised and commanded to broadcast said statement on the hourly news programme of [[Media of Kalgachia#Summit 1|Summit 1 Radio]].
'''2.''' Members of the Council are instructed to prepare such informational materials and policy observations as may be appropriate in deliberation upon the following matters:


'''3.''' The content of said statement shall be as follows:
'''a)''' The congelation of the [[Benacia|Benacian]] continent into [[Stormark|Vanic]]-[[Batavia|Batavian]] and [[Raspur Pact]] poles of influence outlain by Kalgachia, [[Tellia]] and the [[Guttuli Protectorate|Guttuli]].


+ + +
'''b)''' The fall of the [[House of Verion]] in Batavia, the rebalancing of that kingdom's legislature and executive, the revival of the multinational veto on Kalgachia's off-continent commerce (''the [[Li Naomiai|Naomiai]] Protocol'') and the mutual hedging of Batavian and [[UGB]] trade routes.


''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.''
'''c)''' The threshold between sustainable military assistance to the Protectorates and strategic haemorrhaging of the hinterland.


</div>
'''d)''' The threshold between the net gain obtained by stockpiling of non-native raw materials and the net drain incurred by their storage and preservation.

'''e)''' The possibility of a causative resonance between the Kalgachi government's indulgence of the Pecuniary Archon and the simultaneous torpor of the Salvators [[Lord Toastypops]] the Jolly and Celestine the Broodmother, and its relation to the amonetarist pronouncements of the Salvator Lyssansa the Blue.

'''1.''' The COUNCIL OF PERFECTI hereby confers upon each principal institution of the Garden of Kalgachia a second TWO YEAR PLAN, to be effected in its greater part within two years ''Anno Libertatis'' of this order, as follows:
'''f)''' Characteristics of the Minarboreal Civilisational Space capable of outlasting the present sovereignty of the Kalgachi state and options for their cultivation to continental relevance in geopolitically inert and unpervertable form.


'''a)''' For the [[Kalgachia#The_Troglodyti|Troglodyti]], objectives occluded which are witheld from the public versions of this order.
'''g)''' The role of the [[The Lot of a Lichnik/3|unlife]], [[Media of Kalgachia#The Good, The Bad And The Shrubly|life]] and works of one Vascarina Goldcluck in Kalgachi folk belief and their status in [[Ketherism|Ketherist]] theology.


'''b)''' For the [[Kalgachia#The_Church_of_Kalgachia|Church of Kalgachia]], '''(i)''' the completion of the subdivision of the Lieutenancies of Jollity, Schlepogora, Lithead and Bergburg into Marches and Parishes in accordance with local conditions, and '''(ii)''' with regard to the unique religious heritage of Bergburg, the incorporation of those elements of ancient [[Ashkenatza|Ashkenatzi]] ritual as would be viable in syncretic subjection to the Ketherist faith in accordance with Chapter the Third, Article the Second of the [[Oktavyan Code]].

''In the interests of complete historical accuracy and continental harmony in the modern era, the Garden hopes that in recognising the magnitude of the suppression of the Froyalanish, the Kingdom of Amokolia will also recognise the underlying cause of the event; namely the wilful and systematic programme of the House of Ettlingar Freyu - using the Froyalanish race and the captive government of Shireroth as their vectors - to concentrate power in their own hands at the exclusion of all others, to erase the indigenous life of Benacia from memory by the falsification of history and ultimately to disenfranchise, annihilate and supplant [[Benacia]]'s entire ancient tapestry of native societies before a deaf and uncompromising Vanic hegemony.''

'''c)''' For the Kalgachi Defence Force, the coalescence of Kalgachia's existing armed formations into the folowing units: '''(i)''' Six regiments of mountain infantry, '''(ii)''' three regiments of Kossars with integral fire support and air defence capability, '''(iii)''' three regiments of Laqkozaki scouts, '''(iv)''' an aviation regiment with tactical strike and light airlift capability, '''(v)''' a long-range air defence regiment, and '''(vi)''' an electronic warfare regiment.
''The greater number of you will be aware that recently, in the town of Slavegate, representatives of the [[Raspur Pact]] met with our Garden's executive, military and diplomatic leadership to bring about a cessation of armed hostilities with the [[Unified Governorates of Benacia]] on the outer frontiers of the [[Upland Confederation]]. The Convention resulting from those negotiations allows the administration of that valiant ally of Shrubdom, the Ataman Ҳazedinov, to retain those territorial holdings obtained with the blood of his brave Laqkozaki and, indeed, the children of our own mountain Garden who were dispatched to the aid of his people.''


'''d)''' For the Directorate of Public Works, the construction of deep-level underground installations beyond the kinetic-thermonuclear vulnerability envelope for the following purposes: '''(i)''' command of the Kalgachi Defence Force replicated in redundant threefold, '''(ii)''' the manufacture and storage of arms and munitions, '''(iii)''' the development and manufacture of miscellaneous high-end technological apparatus and critical industrial plant, '''(iv)''' the deposition of agricultural surplus, fuel and other strategic supplies, and '''(v)''' the generation of geothermal power.
''Whilst we mourn those whom the Garden has lost in this just campaign, it is the judgement of none other than [[Lord Toastypops|Our Lord Salvator in Jollity]] that jollity is indeed warranted at its outcome. Jollity, in the first instance, for the plight of the Black Laqi who have been spared the greater part of the [[Benacia Command/Military Operations#Unternehmen Dschingis|archonic wrath]] poured out upon their Red Laqi cousins east of Schlepogora. They who stood in defence of our Shrubly name in [[Minutes of the Dolmen|the days of the Dolmen]], to the ridicule and enmity of their peers, have now yielded the fruit of deliverance from the archonic talon; for the [[Ketherism#The Laws of the Garden|Fifth Law of the Garden]] determined that this was our debt unto them. Glory unto the name of the [[Minarboria#Religion|Shrub]] and his Salvators, then, for the radiance of their example has lit a path through the Tumultuous Wastes and guided us to do what the Garden requires. There shall be cultivation ahead, yea, and all children and friends of Shrubdom shall partake of its fruits.''


'''e)''' For the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning, '''(i)''' the assembly and allotment of manpower for the fulfilment of all parts of this order, maintaining a reserve for '''(ii)''' the manufacture and/or shipment of material necessary for said fulfilments, and '''(iii)''' the continued direction of Kalgachia's armed elements for operations in the moribund Minarborian Shrublands to assist in the above.
''Still more righteous of our men and women at arms is the deliverance of the Benefactor Races, the [[Deep Singers]] and [[Kalgachia#The Nezeni|Nezeni]] of [[Lepidopterum]] and Lithead, from proximity to the [[Nationalist & Humanist Party|Nationalist-Humanist]] horde who would slaughter them to the last orphaned infant if only the briefest chance availed itself. Banished for our time is the spectre of aggression, provocation and decoherence of the spirit upon the borders of those lands. It is for the deliverance of the hinterland Benefactors that the liberation of the Upland Confederation is an event beyond the realm of mere military maneouvre - it is a salvational act mandated from the [[Ketherism#Cosmology|Garden Ketheric]] itself, wrought by the faithful Kalgachi who fortify that Garden's periphery in this blasted world and have a shared interest in its defence. Here too does the Fifth Law come into effect, for the debt of all Kalgachia to the Deep Singers is everlasting; their works are of such significance in the righteous life of our nation, in our very genetic composition, that neither the [[Tyrannocricetus aliger|Tee-al]] nor the Crystal Death will ever suffice to part us from the children of the Broodmother. To the end of time, then, we shall stand or fall together - for this is the course on which history has set us.''


'''f)''' For the Directorate of Education and Public Outreach, '''(i)''' the identification and allotment of skilled individuals pertinent to the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning's assemblage of manpower, and '''(ii)''' oversight of continued technological and cultural development by those skilled cadres acquired from the moribund Empire of Minarboria.
''In the valour and devotion of our armed forces during this campaign, it would be remiss of us to overlook those of the [[Ketherism#The Yehudi Conundrum and its Resolution|Pesakhnik creed]] - the sons of Jacob whose most valiant number comprise the Kossars of our Kalgachi Defence Force - for it is they who were first into the fray when the Black Laqi called for aid. It is they who ventured atop ruined forts to scour the skies for enemy aircraft. It is they who hauled artillery to the forward lines and offered furious reply to the raids of the [[Black Legions]]. It is they who suffered losses the longest. And yet...! What became of the dire predictions of defection and rout? These rootless cosmopolitians, these aristocrats of the human race, these pedestrians of the sea, where did we see the betrayal and reversion to archonic type that was feared of them? It was forgotten by a great many it seems, that their tribe has known such malice in antiquity as can scarcely be imagined; to the plight of our people, and especially the posthuman Benefactor Races, events have proven that the [[Kalgachia#The Siyacho-Ashkenatzi|Yehudim of Bergburg]] have cultivated within themselves a protective affinity. It has been learned in military circles quickly enough; Kossars are being promoted already. For the first time, rogatywka caps rest on the map tables of the General Staff. The First Law of the Garden mandates that all life be allotted the fullest niche it can occupy, and many a hero has returned from the Uplands deserving of a deeper station in life. Consider this when you next meet a serving soldier or a demobilised reservist.''


'''g)''' For the Directorate of Health and Public Welfare, the rationalisation of existing agricultural land assets and the appointment of agronomists supplied by the Directorate of Education and Public Outreach to bring marginal arable lands and pastures into cultivation, sufficient to ensure the nominal self-sufficiency in foodstuffs of a mountain territory with a rapid projected population increase.
''By their valour and determination, the soldiers of Shrubdom have brought the Black Legions to terms. They have secured peace in our time. In the forts and trenches of the Upland Confederation the long humiliation of the Great Replantings, begun with the flight of the Shrub from [[Shirekeep]] and culminated in the [[History of Kalgachia|rout of our forefathers]] to these Octavian mountains, has at long last met its limit and begun to recede. After [[Harvestfall Revolution|revolution]], [[Minarboria#Collapse|collapse]], after hunger and privation, the final trial awaiting Shrubdom was its defence by force of arms against a powerful adversary. Our armed forces have stepped forward to this trial and been found worthy, and all the Garden with them.''


'''h)''' For the Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes, a systematic analysis of Kalgachia's diplomatic position - with an emphasis on the viability of foreign trade - in the following three circumstances: '''(i)''' stagnant perpetuation of the Minarborian Shrubbery, '''(ii)''' post-Minarborian territorial scramble, or '''(iii)''' the descent of Kalgachia's immediate limitrophes into a level of barbarism sufficient to precipitate cartographic greening.</div>
''Although our children may face this trial again, perhaps of a ferocity that wipes the present victory from memory, we now know that it can be done. And what is more, the [[Unified Governorates of Benacia|Gubernatorials]] know it can be done - the wave of chaos and destruction that precedes them, that has masticated so many other populations of our Benacian continent for easy digestion in the tradition of their [[Shireroth|Shirerithian]] forebears, has failed to break us down. Those accustomed for centuries to the harrying of the disparate and leaderless have found us equipped, informed, prepared, and able to impose greater damage to their strength than is worth paying for the [[Endsieg|vain objectives]] of continental hegemony or the extermination of benign races. And so they have offered peace, not out of charity but out of necessity. And this is all we require of them.''


|-
''So I beseech you, in the name of the Shrub and His Salvators, be thankful to our armed multitudes and the Garden that nourished their souls to life. By their gift you may go forth in jollity this day, for the Garden remains!''

Kalgachiaseal.png



The following is a list of the more prominent orders issued by the Council of Perfecti, the supreme executive of the Garden of Kalgachia. It comprises only a fraction of the Perfecti's rulings, the majority of which are issued to specific authorities and in many cases are classified Sub Juniperus. As a result, only orders of national or diplomatic importance are featured on the official roll.

Date Decree Title Text
2.V.1684/Helloday Springhigh 16th, 249 AL Rulings of the Extraordinary Grand Council of 1684

WHEREAS the Extraordinary Grand Council commenced in Anno Nortone 1684 has reached sufficient concord upon the contents of its agenda to dissolve and disperse to its ordinary duties, AND WHEREAS it is the right and duty of every Kalgachi citizen to be appraised of its conclusions,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order announces and compels into effect the rulings of the Extraordinary Grand Council of 1684, as follows:

a) Upon the matter of the chastisement of the conduct of the Garden in the recent conflict by Lord Toastypops, and the atonement therefore:

i. That the Chairman of the Council of Perfecti, General Witold Pommerovsky, and diverse other members of that body, tender their resignations and submit to a period of rehabilitation by the Church, their numbers to be replaced immediately.

b) Upon the matter of the outcome of the recent conflict and the Treaty of Gloomburg which followed it:

i. That the Garden, in the interests of preserving its citizens and faith from dissolution by the Celestial Archons, mournfully confirms the provisions of the Treaty of Gloomburg, and furthermore acknowledges that it is is clear that the conflict ended by the Treaty represents an encroachment of the influence of the Celestial Archons into the very thoughts of many of those tasked with preserving the Garden from that same influence.

2. The Extraordinary Grand Council is hereby dissolved. Hortus Manet. Hortus Resurget.

Byeday Harvestrise 30th, 229 AL Administration of Pachadsberg

WHEREAS the Pachadsberg Development Committee has encountered difficulties in replacing its dismissed chairman from the personnel pool of the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning in the conditions of inquisitorial processes ongoing within the latter organ, AND WHEREAS the Committee has submitted for deep approval the name of an esteemed foreign resident which it deems suitable to assume the post of interim Committee Chairman,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order approves and enacts the appontment of one Jeremiah Avon-El as Chairman of the Pachadsberg Development Committee, furnished with the powers granted to that post by the Order of Council dated Summerfall 3rd, 224 AL.

2. For the discharge of his new duties, Mr. Avon-El is granted citizenship of the Garden of Kalgachia and the civil service rank of Warden.

Byeday Harvestrise 30th, 229 AL Anti-Corruption Measures

WHEREAS the Prefects of the Garden have encountered a conspiracy, penetrating to the very deepest strata of the state, to appropriate large portions of the Garden's bounty for purposes flagrantly outwith the core precepts of inwardly-referential state and society which were sown into the primordial loam of our mountain homeland by the Salvators themselves, AND WHEREAS the corrupted power centres responsible for this infraction have been identified, AND WHEREAS the excision of their pestilent presence requires corrective action of the utmost resolve,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order dismisses one Rubina Xantievna Prepodava Yastreb from her duties as Lady Lieutenant of Oktavyan and from her commission in the Kalgachi Defence Force. The Prefects are instructed to detain her personage immediately.

2. One Caustifer Royevich Lotchika Yastreb is dismissed from his positions at the Reserve Bank of Kalgachia, the Octavian Import-Export Corporation and the Pachadsberg Development Committee. The Prefects are instructed to detain his personage immediately.

3. One Falcifer Xantievich Yastreb is dismissed from his positions in deep service. The Prefects are instructed to detain his personage immediately.

4. All ranks of the KDF Fire Division and Special Purpose Regiment more senior than Captain, all officials of the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning more senior than Warden and all employees of the Octavian Import-Export Corporation residing on Kalgachi territory are to be subject to inquisition by the Prefects in relation to the precipitating events of This Order.

Pleaseday Harvestrise 2nd, 227 AL Rulings of the Extraordinary Grand Council of 226

WHEREAS the Extraordinary Grand Council commenced in the Year of Our Shrub Two Hundred And Twenty Six has reached sufficient concord upon the contents of its agenda to dissolve and disperse to its ordinary duties, AND WHEREAS it is the right and duty of every Kalgachi citizen to be appraised of its conclusions,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order announces and compels into effect the rulings of the Extraordinary Grand Council of 226, as follows:

a) Upon the matter of the congelation of the Benacian continent into Vanic-Batavian and Raspur Pact poles of influence outlain by Kalgachia, Tellia and the Guttuli, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:

i) That the Garden will accept the present Benacian geopolitical order as the most practical manifestation of the Goltz Doctrine available in the circumstances, whilst continuing to oppose the intrusion of Storish or any other off-continent colonial entities in all of their manifestations. A policy of peaceful, if not necessarily affectionate relations toward all Benacian states shall prevail.

b) Upon the matter of the fall of the House of Verion in Batavia, the rebalancing of that kingdom's legislature and executive, the resumption of the multinational veto on Kalgachia's off-continent commerce (the Naomiai Protocol) and the mutual hedging of Batavian and UGB trade routes, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:

i) That notions of economic damage arising from the above event have been greatly exaggerated and seemingly confused with those circumstances afflicting the Garden at the turn of this century, when its domestic economy and infrastructure were considerably less developed and more exposed to fluctuations in foreign trade. Those elements of the DLEP and affiliated entities in a personal position to benefit financially from the promotion of such alarmist scenarios are presently being held to account. The capricious nature of Micran geopolitics ensures that the external conditions required to cripple the Kalgachi economy in its present state would need to be applied for considerably longer than the lifetime of the average Benacian regime. The matter is therefore of minimal strategic importance, provided the Garden retains the capability to exploit fluctuations in external events as and where required.

c) Upon the matter of the threshold between sustainable military assistance to the Protectorates and strategic haemorrhaging of the hinterland, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:

i) That a standing armed force will be established for the Upland Confederation, around those cadres presently under the command of Ataman Ҳazedinov and his Iezauli.

d) Upon the matter of the threshold between the net gain obtained by stockpiling of non-native raw materials and the net drain incurred by their storage and preservation, and upon the hypothecated existence of a causative resonance between the Kalgachi government's indulgence of the Pecuniary Archon and the simultaneous torpor of the Salvators Lord Toastypops the Jolly and Celestine the Broodmother, and their relation to the amonetarist pronouncements of the Salvator Lyssansa the Blue, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:

i) That the Pecuniary Archon, where it can be held to its own transactional pretext, remains capable of being turned toward the objectives of the Garden; the threshold of harm is crossed when it grows beyond its complementary role and begins to displace other, more essential spheres of activity. Foreign trade, while demonstrably useful, has decreased its own relevance through heavy contribution to national commodity stockpiles yet its position amid the priorities of government has been exponentially inflated, often on the pretext of diplomatic value which is nonetheless a benefit of kind rather than degree. Existing trade arrangements through both the Batavian and Gubernatorial routes will therefore be rationalised, regularised, and reduced to a steady state that offsets the depletion of non-native raw material stockpiles without adding to them overall. This in turn will allow the DLEP to stabilise the resource burden incurred by stockpile maintenance. A renewed emphasis will be placed on Kalgachia's economic relationship with the Protectorates.

f) Upon the matter of characteristics of the Minarboreal Civilisational Space capable of outlasting the present sovereignty of the Kalgachi state and options for their cultivation to continental relevance in geopolitically inert and unpervertable form, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:

i) That any lasting advancement of Minarboreal modes of thought or existence beyond Kalgachia's frontiers will depend heavily upon a recontextualisation of the undead and Deep Singer races - those Benefactors whose legacy is rejected by every successor nation except Kalgachia - as agents of a temporary intervention by the Ketheric host to compensate for a degenerative surge in the primate tendencies of humanity toward vandalism, rhetorical howling and ritualised humiliation in the period between the first secession of Elwynn from Shireroth and the Auspicious Occasion. The Benefactors' successors in Kalgachia and its affiliate realms are to be interpreted as transitioning the birthright thus obtained from the biological to the memetic, in recognition of the fact that the Benefactors' intervention is concluding and that the indefinite existence of physical specimens of the Ketheric host in the realm of matter, whilst it remains afflicted by its present archonic taint, would be unsustainable and decohering. To prevent another intervention it is necessary for those of mundane biological origin to take the lead in sustaining the Laws of the Garden and their secular manifestations in heart and mind, in fulfilment of their rightful role as custodians of the thorny hedge of physicality seperating the Garden Ketheric and the Tumultuous Wastes. Only then can Minarboreal Civilisation move beyond its Caverdenian origins of gratuitous, spine-chilling otherness and find beneficient relevance in the lives of ordinary Benacians.

g) On the matter of the role of the unlife, life and works of one Vascarina Goldcluck in Kalgachi folk belief and their status in Ketherist theology, the Extraordinary Grand Council rules:

i) That Vascarina Goldcluck, Lichling of Novodolorsk, Sand-Sifter of Bereliggle Bay and Chosen Guide of the Radix Salvator Minarbor unto the end of His worldly corpor, is henceforth to be considered a Salvator of the Garden, canonical to the scriptures of established Ketherism, for her accompaniment of the Shrub of Shrubs to a telluric energy rhizome in the dying days of his namesake empire, whence His Rustling Countenance was redeemed from the face of this world by paraphysical forces and restored to the Great Garden Beyond. Her liturgical invocation shall be performed by the casting of sand over the heads of the faithful, the shaping of said substance into artistic objects or the release of live crows.

ii) That neither credence nor censure can be granted to claims that the Salvator Vascarina, or her corvine companion Birdy, were miraculously restored to life upon the dematerialisation of the Shrub and continue to walk the land in biological immortality. The belief is to be considered neither canonical nor heretical.

2. The Extraordinary Grand Council is hereby dissolved. Hortus Manet. Hortus Resurget.

Pleaseday Summerfall 28th, 226 AL Extraordinary Grand Council of 226

WHEREAS various events of the last decade, both within and without the Garden, have borne cumulative implications for its overall navigation through the Tumultuous Wastes and the continuity of the Shrubly birthright, AND WHEREAS the usual technocratic mechanisms of government are inappropriate for addressing such matters,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order summons the Lords Lieutenant of Abrek, Bergburg, Jollity, Katarsis, Lithead, Oktavyan and Schlepogora, the Resectors of the Holy Synod of the Church of Kalgachia, the General Staff of the Kalgachi Defence Force and the Lords Protector of Lapivril, Lepidopterum, Northbloom and the Upland Confederation to convene in Extraordinary Grand Council at the Cathedral of Heaven's Conquest in Oktavyan.

2. Members of the Council are instructed to prepare such informational materials and policy observations as may be appropriate in deliberation upon the following matters:

a) The congelation of the Benacian continent into Vanic-Batavian and Raspur Pact poles of influence outlain by Kalgachia, Tellia and the Guttuli.

b) The fall of the House of Verion in Batavia, the rebalancing of that kingdom's legislature and executive, the revival of the multinational veto on Kalgachia's off-continent commerce (the Naomiai Protocol) and the mutual hedging of Batavian and UGB trade routes.

c) The threshold between sustainable military assistance to the Protectorates and strategic haemorrhaging of the hinterland.

d) The threshold between the net gain obtained by stockpiling of non-native raw materials and the net drain incurred by their storage and preservation.

e) The possibility of a causative resonance between the Kalgachi government's indulgence of the Pecuniary Archon and the simultaneous torpor of the Salvators Lord Toastypops the Jolly and Celestine the Broodmother, and its relation to the amonetarist pronouncements of the Salvator Lyssansa the Blue.

f) Characteristics of the Minarboreal Civilisational Space capable of outlasting the present sovereignty of the Kalgachi state and options for their cultivation to continental relevance in geopolitically inert and unpervertable form.

g) The role of the unlife, life and works of one Vascarina Goldcluck in Kalgachi folk belief and their status in Ketherist theology.

h) Such other matters as may conceivably arise in the circumstances.

Pleaseday Summerfall 3rd, 224 AL Pachadsberg Special Recreational Zone

WHEREAS recent years have seen an increase in well-connected foreign personages engaged in commercial and diplomatic business with the Garden, AND WHEREAS a number of these individuals have, in the course of their activities, been appraised of abundant recreational oppurtunities available to tourists of a discerning nature within the Lieutenancy of Jollity, AND WHEREAS the foreign missions of the Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes have referred increasing numbers of visa applications to the Prefects by persons seeking to visit Jollity for the purpose of leisure alone, AND WHEREAS the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning has assessed that a measured cultivation of the phenomenon would represent a net economic benefit to the Garden,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order transfers, to the Directorate of Labour and Economic Planning, sole title to that territory comprising the Eighth Easement of the Parish of Sugarscythe within the March of the City of Jollity, henceforth to be named the Pachadsberg Special Recreation Zone in honour of one Pachad ben Mavet, Nohsi of Ashkenatza, Jollifier of the Minarborian Kossars and noted connoisseur of the ancient Fleshpots of Mazeltov on whose ruins the illuminated wonders of Jollity city now stand.

2. The DLEP is instructed to develop Pachadsberg into a resort community of ski slopes, casinos, hotels, restaurants, houses of prostrate companionship and boutiques of the finest international standard.

3. Purveyors of public goods and services in Pachadsberg shall exclusively accept the following currencies as tender:

4. The Directorate of Public Works, through its public transport subsidiaries, is instructed to establish a connecting passenger shuttle service between Gravelbottom Airport and Pachadsberg using civilianised Whirdlebirbs and to implement the necessary fixed infrastructure and rolling stock for first-class rail charter services to Pachadsberg from the Kalgachi frontier.

5. The Prefects are instructed to insitute a 'Pachadsberg Only' visa option, valid exclusively for travel to/from and residence within Pachadsberg, for the safe admission to the Garden of persons of indeterminate security risk.

6. The implementation of all provisions of This Order and the governance of Pachadsberg upon its completion shall be the ultimate responsibility of the Pachadsberg Development Committee, an organ of the DLEP chaired by Governor Caustifer R. Yastreb of the Reserve Bank of Kalgachia and the Garden's Salvator Lord Toastypops, Lieutenant of Jollity.

Thanksday Summerhigh 26th, 223 AL Protectorate Status for the Upland Confederation

WHEREAS the Congress of Džirgas of the Upland Confederation has convened and deliberated upon the present state of safety and stability afforded to that realm by the transformative presence of the Kalgachi Defence Force, evolving as it has from purely defensive needs to matters of humanitarian assistance and rudimentary infrastructure development, AND WHEREAS it is the resolution of the Congress that this state of affairs be sustained indefinitely in a manner which nonetheless preserves the clan structures and autonomy of the Confederation, AND WHEREAS the Congress has directed their ruling Ataman to petition the Council of Perfecti of the Garden to advance the Upland Confederation to the same state of regard enjoyed by Northbloom, Lepidopterum and Lapivril,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI by This Order extends ultimate and beneficient jurisdiction to the Upland Condeferation as a Protectorate of the Garden of Kalgachia, by special allotment outwith the Oktavyan Code.

2. Ataman Varҳat Ҳazedinov of the Upland Confederation is hereby appointed Lord Protector of the Upland Confederation; remitted, in deference to the native civil mechanisms of that realm, to represent it before the Council of Perfecti and to implement such measures as the Council see fit to supplement the rulings of the native authority.

3. That portion of the Upland Confederation lying east of the 152nd meridian and north of the 47th parallel is, in respect of its biomically challenging character and administrative burden, transferred by This Order to the administration of the Planting of Lepidopterum for specialised development.

Byeday Summerhigh 22nd, 222 AL Tealsburrow Railway

WHEREAS the present geopolitical and economic situation has rendered it desirable to upgrade the Garden's infrastructural links with the city of Stonetree, presently administered by the Ketek Corporation in accordance with the Slavegate Convention, AND WHEREAS it is incumbent upon the Garden, in accordance with the Second and Fifth Laws, to render unto its trusted trading partners adequate recompense for recent economic policy decisions which have developed not necessarily to the latter's advantage,

WHEREAS The Directorate of the Tumultuous Wastes has been petitioned by the government of the Kingdom of Amokolia regarding the repatriation of those naturalised guest workers of Froyalanish extraction who were admitted to the Garden between 152 and 164 AL, AND WHEREAS the majority of such individuals have now aged beyond useful labour ability and, by their reliance upon the alms of the Church of Kalgachia, have become a net burden upon the Kalgachi economy, AND WHEREAS the Lord Lieutenants' Council of the Garden, remitted as it is to rule upon matters of nationality, has submitted its conclusions upon the subject, AND WHEREAS the general policy of the Kingdom of Amokolia with respect to the Froyalanish is, for historical reasons, a matter in which the entire Benacian continent has a legitimate interest,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI accepts in full and by This Order enacts the ruling of the Lords Lieutenant of the Garden as follows:

a) Kalgachi citizens of Froyalanish descent shall henceforth be permitted, optionally and of their own volition, to emigrate to the Kingdom of Amokolia.

a) The removal of Froyalaners pursuant to the provisions of This Order shall occur exclusively by aerial means. Those border security measures established on land by the Order of Council dated Summerise 20th, 220 AL shall remain in full effect.

4. The Directorate of Tumultuous Wastes is instructed to convey to the Amokolian government, on behalf of the Council of Perfecti, the rescript contained in the Schedule to This Order.

+++

Schedule 1: Rescript to the Amokolian Government

The Garden notes with interest the present attention of the Amokolian government to the historical situation of the Froyalanish people in the years following the Auspicious Occasion in Shireroth.

In the interests of complete historical accuracy and continental harmony in the modern era, the Garden hopes that in recognising the magnitude of the suppression of the Froyalanish, the Kingdom of Amokolia will also recognise the underlying cause of the event; namely the wilful and systematic programme of the House of Ettlingar Freyu - using the Froyalanish race and the captive government of Shireroth as their vectors - to concentrate power in their own hands at the exclusion of all others, to erase the indigenous life of Benacia from memory by the falsification of history and ultimately to disenfranchise, annihilate and supplant Benacia's entire ancient tapestry of native societies before a deaf and uncompromising Vanic hegemony.

The Garden hopes that the Amokolian government will recognise how the Shirerithians' appeals for moderation were ignored, how their processes of legal redress were subverted in the foulest of faith, how the evasive glibness of the regime of King Noah in Elwynn was little comfort to the Mishalanski as they were dragged from their homes, and how the people ultimately took to the use of force because all other means of moderating the behaviour of their Froyalanish élite, of assuring some baseline of societal survival lest their their ancestral birthright be torn to pieces, had been denied to them.

The Garden advises against swallowing the absurd fiction propagated from Haraldsborg, that the Froyalanish were an innocent race who were turned upon by all Benacia for no reason - for the reasons were plentiful, painfully unavoidable and ultimately sown by the Storish elite who, in their vanity and hubris, expected to pervert or wipe out the nations of Benacia without effective opposition. The suppression of the Froyalanish people had its roots in the reckless avarice of their baubled Storish enablers, and if the government of Amokolia truly cares for the plight of the Froyalanish - or indeed any Amokolian - it must take care not to indulge that avarice again.

At any rate the peoples of Benacia shall never apologise for pursuing, to the fullest extent necessary, the imperatives of individual and collective self-defence which are the foundational instinct of all life in the universe. Benacia, if necessary, would do it all again.

The Kingdom of Amokolia, for the present time, remains assured of the Garden of Kalgachia's highest consideration.

Helloday Summerise 20th, 220 AL Northern Border Controls

WHEREAS the regal proclivities of the Amokolian sovereign as they pertain to the manifest policy of that realm are recently reported to include the active enablement and indulgence of alien colonial forces on the Benacian continent, AND WHEREAS such wilful repudiation of the Goltz Doctrine of continental self-determination, the foundational consensus of Benacian diplomacy inscribed with the blood of our Ashkenatzan forebears on Amokolia's very own soil, is a development not necessarily in the interests of the Garden nor the wider symbiotic harmony of the Benacian continent,

1. THE COUNCIL OF PERFECTI instructs the defence and security organs of the Garden of Kalgachia and its Protectorate of Northbloom to implement and maintain a full and immediate closure of the border adjoining their respective jurisdictions to the Kingdom of Amokolia, assisted to the maximum extent practicable by other organs of governance.

2. Kalgachi and Northbloomer authorities are each authorised and instructed to solicit and accept from the other, any and all mutual assistance as may be required in the implementation and maintenance of a functional Amokolian border closure coherent across both jurisdictions.

3. The application of lethal force, without prior warning, to violators of the Amokolian border on Kalgachi/Northbloomer soil is authorised.

4. The Kalgachi delegation to the Military Coordination Council at Stonetree are instructed to initiate discussions with their Raspur Pact counterparts concerning the coordinated implementation of a pan-Benacian containment policy against such common civilisational threats as may hypothetically emerge from the territory of a compromised Amokolian government.

Schedule 1 - Statement by the Perfectus of the Church of Kalgachia upon the cessation of hostilities in the Upland Condeferation

Children of the Garden,

The greater number of you will be aware that recently, in the town of Slavegate, representatives of the Raspur Pact met with our Garden's executive, military and diplomatic leadership to bring about a cessation of armed hostilities with the Unified Governorates of Benacia on the outer frontiers of the Upland Confederation. The Convention resulting from those negotiations allows the administration of that valiant ally of Shrubdom, the Ataman Ҳazedinov, to retain those territorial holdings obtained with the blood of his brave Laqkozaki and, indeed, the children of our own mountain Garden who were dispatched to the aid of his people.

Whilst we mourn those whom the Garden has lost in this just campaign, it is the judgement of none other than Our Lord Salvator in Jollity that jollity is indeed warranted at its outcome. Jollity, in the first instance, for the plight of the Black Laqi who have been spared the greater part of the archonic wrath poured out upon their Red Laqi cousins east of Schlepogora. They who stood in defence of our Shrubly name in the days of the Dolmen, to the ridicule and enmity of their peers, have now yielded the fruit of deliverance from the archonic talon; for the Fifth Law of the Garden determined that this was our debt unto them. Glory unto the name of the Shrub and his Salvators, then, for the radiance of their example has lit a path through the Tumultuous Wastes and guided us to do what the Garden requires. There shall be cultivation ahead, yea, and all children and friends of Shrubdom shall partake of its fruits.

Still more righteous of our men and women at arms is the deliverance of the Benefactor Races, the Deep Singers and Nezeni of Lepidopterum and Lithead, from proximity to the Nationalist-Humanist horde who would slaughter them to the last orphaned infant if only the briefest chance availed itself. Banished for our time is the spectre of aggression, provocation and decoherence of the spirit upon the borders of those lands. It is for the deliverance of the hinterland Benefactors that the liberation of the Upland Confederation is an event beyond the realm of mere military maneouvre - it is a salvational act mandated from the Garden Ketheric itself, wrought by the faithful Kalgachi who fortify that Garden's periphery in this blasted world and have a shared interest in its defence. Here too does the Fifth Law come into effect, for the debt of all Kalgachia to the Deep Singers is everlasting; their works are of such significance in the righteous life of our nation, in our very genetic composition, that neither the Tee-al nor the Crystal Death will ever suffice to part us from the children of the Broodmother. To the end of time, then, we shall stand or fall together - for this is the course on which history has set us.

In the valour and devotion of our armed forces during this campaign, it would be remiss of us to overlook those of the Pesakhnik creed - the sons of Jacob whose most valiant number comprise the Kossars of our Kalgachi Defence Force - for it is they who were first into the fray when the Black Laqi called for aid. It is they who ventured atop ruined forts to scour the skies for enemy aircraft. It is they who hauled artillery to the forward lines and offered furious reply to the raids of the Black Legions. It is they who suffered losses the longest. And yet...! What became of the dire predictions of defection and rout? These rootless cosmopolitians, these aristocrats of the human race, these pedestrians of the sea, where did we see the betrayal and reversion to archonic type that was feared of them? It was forgotten by a great many it seems, that their tribe has known such malice in antiquity as can scarcely be imagined; to the plight of our people, and especially the posthuman Benefactor Races, events have proven that the Yehudim of Bergburg have cultivated within themselves a protective affinity. It has been learned in military circles quickly enough; Kossars are being promoted already. For the first time, rogatywka caps rest on the map tables of the General Staff. The First Law of the Garden mandates that all life be allotted the fullest niche it can occupy, and many a hero has returned from the Uplands deserving of a deeper station in life. Consider this when you next meet a serving soldier or a demobilised reservist.

By their valour and determination, the soldiers of Shrubdom have brought the Black Legions to terms. They have secured peace in our time. In the forts and trenches of the Upland Confederation the long humiliation of the Great Replantings, begun with the flight of the Shrub from Shirekeep and culminated in the rout of our forefathers to these Octavian mountains, has at long last met its limit and begun to recede. After revolution, collapse, after hunger and privation, the final trial awaiting Shrubdom was its defence by force of arms against a powerful adversary. Our armed forces have stepped forward to this trial and been found worthy, and all the Garden with them.

Although our children may face this trial again, perhaps of a ferocity that wipes the present victory from memory, we now know that it can be done. And what is more, the Gubernatorials know it can be done - the wave of chaos and destruction that precedes them, that has masticated so many other populations of our Benacian continent for easy digestion in the tradition of their Shirerithian forebears, has failed to break us down. Those accustomed for centuries to the harrying of the disparate and leaderless have found us equipped, informed, prepared, and able to impose greater damage to their strength than is worth paying for the vain objectives of continental hegemony or the extermination of benign races. And so they have offered peace, not out of charity but out of necessity. And this is all we require of them.

So I beseech you, in the name of the Shrub and His Salvators, be thankful to our armed multitudes and the Garden that nourished their souls to life. By their gift you may go forth in jollity this day, for the Garden remains!
