The territorial changes in Apollonia.

The Treaty of Gaelen's Landing, named so because of its signing in Gaelen's Landing on 16.VIII.1707 (the formal name of the treaty is, however, Agreement between the Her Magnificence the Kaiseress and the Unified Government of Greater Kildare on the reintegration of Kildare and its territories into Shireroth), is a treaty between Shireroth and Greater Kildare that, once ratified, would reunite Kildare with Shireroth and bring the rest of the former Democratic Apollonian Republic of Kildare under Shirerithian sovereignty.

Moreover, the treaty brings Zijincheng, in the inland of northern Cibola, under the authority of Mondo (with Mondo being reserved the right to secede from Shireroth at any point, as he, as a non-subject of the Kaiseress, is not bound by oaths or loyalty to her). The small island of Sint Barentsz is granted independence, and Alrig is brought under Shirerithian protection.

The treaty was signed by Chrysostom Wythe, Count of Woodshire and Steward of the Imperial Republic on behalf of Shireroth, and Lin Zexu, Imperial Magistrate and Commander of the Eight Gates for the Xinshi Heavenly Light, and by Lord Jin of San, Lady Liu of Pei, Lord Faustus of Tullas, Lord Claudius of Nan, and Lord Xuan of the Golden Tribe for themselves.

Agreement between the Her Magnificence the Kaiseress and the Unified Government of Greater Kildare on the reintegration of Kildare and its territories into Shireroth

Sovereignty

Greater Kildare forms part of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. Shireroth extends its imperial dominion to the dutchies/duchies of Greater Kildare and will be responsible for the defence, security, and administration of the protectorates, in accordance with the Imperial Charter and other imperial law and custom.

The laws currently in place in Greater Kildare shall be enforceable only as much as they conform with imperial law.

The independence of Sint Barentsz is recognized.

Divisions

Greater Kildare is divided into the Dutchy of Kildare, the Duchy of Jingdao, the Duchy of Jinkeai, the Duchy of Outer Antya, the Duchy of Raynor's Isles, the Duchy of Qyzylqaystan, the Protectorate of Alrig, the Lordship of Zijincheng

The Kaiseress makes the solemn promise not to cause the borders of the duchies to change without the consent of the duke in question.

Lady Aurelia Myksos

Her Illustriousness the Lady Aurelia Myksos, the Dutchess of Kildare, is thanked for her tenure as Dutchess of Kildare and is relieved of her duties toward Kildare, including the feudal peerage and title over Kildare, and may retire in peace, with the thanks of all Shireroth for her loyalty to the Golden Mango Throne.

In gratitude thereof, Her Illustriousness is granted the title, style and dignity of Dutchess of Vigeland, of Vigeland Street in Shirekeep, and that upon her death or removal from the title, the title shall succeed to her legitimate descendants from her union with Her Illustriousness Lady Sara Eskenderion Avon-El Ayreon-Kalirion, Princess among the Lakes, with preference to older siblings and their descendants over younger siblings and their descendants, with no discrimination on gender.
