List of Imperial Decrees
#1
I will put any Imperial Decrees that I make through this topic
#2
Henceforth, the salary for Members of Parliament shall be ₤50 a month. The salary of Under-Secretaries shall be ₤55 a month. The salary for Privy Councillors shall be ₤60 a month. This is done for the forthcoming monetary revaluation.
#3
Henceforth, in the event that one of the Houses of Parliament is devoid of members, the other House may act as the singular House of Parliament until such a time as the other House has at least one member.
#4
Henceforth, the Sovereign may, in the event of there being unoccupied seats in the House of Commons, appoint an individual to said empty seat. In order for an appointment to the Commons to be valid, Parliament must approve the appointment with a plurality of the members of both Houses. In the event that the House of Commons is empty, the House of Lords shall be the only House from which approval of the appointment must come. In the event that both Houses are empty then the appointment shall be automatic and no Parliamentary approval shall be necessary.

This decree shall be considered a devolution of the Appointment Clause granted by Article 1 Section 12 of the Kirkish Constitution and is in line with the Devolution of Power Clause as enumerated by Article 1 Section 16 of the Kirkish Constitution. As such, the Sovereign shall retain the right to revoke this decree at any time.
#5
Henceforth, the lands currently referred to as Georgeton which are under the control of His Grace Dakoda George, Grand Duke of Arlington shall be integrated into the lands of Arlington and shall forever be considered a part of those lands. Also, the land formerly known as Georgeton shall be considered a Duchy inside Arlington.
#6
Noting the sincere apology of Nathaniel Yates for his actions in the attempted coup of July 19th. Further noting his early record in Kirkland as an active voice of the people. Nathaniel Yates is hereby pardoned of his crimes against the Crown and Government of Kirkland. Nathaniel Yates shall be once again considered a full citizen of Kirkland with all the rights therein. However, stipulations shall be placed on his return. He shall not be permitted to engage in activities with underground movements. He shall not be afford any right to privacy and may be watched at all times. He shall not be permitted to become the head, official or symbolic, of any political party nor shall he be permitted to found or in any way form a political party or group of a political nature. He may be arrested at any time upon suspicion of activities that may be construed as illegal, clandestine, or against the previously stated stipulations. These stipulations may be removed by a Decree of the Sovereign at a later date if Nathaniel Yates proves himself to be a faithful and loyal citizen of Kirkland.

Due to my personal inactivity and the inactivity of the nobles and citizens of this nation I am forced to disband the Most Glorious and Holy Empire of Kirkland. I am no longer able to carry out my duties due to personal, work, and school commitments. I apologize to everyone in the nation for my failure for the failure rests with me and my inability to drive activity. We had a good run as a nation. I hope that this causes no hard feelings with those of you who wish to stay in the micronational community; I am doing this simply because of the necessity for me to prioritize other things in my life.

I have recently entered my third year of university and am finding the workload very difficult. Along with all of my class I am studying relentlessly for my LSATs and preparing to enter into law school following my graduation next school year. I also have to deal with working as an intern at the local branch of the ACLU which takes up a good chunk of my day that is not already spent at school. On top of that, my engagement to the love of my life has led me to use most of the little spare time I have to be spent with her leaving little time for micornationalism.

Again I wish to apologize if all of this seems sudden. I have been working very hard to stay active but have found it very difficult. Due to the fullness of my schedule I have been forced to do most of my micronational activities while at work, something my supervisor has caught me doing on multiple occasions and I'm afraid that he is beginning to get frustrated. I wish that I could keeping participating but it has recently dawned on me that if I continue as I have been I will be unable to devote the time and energy necessary to adequately run this nation. I heartily apologize for these shortcomings.

To all citizens, you shall be forever remembered for your actions. If, in the future, Kirkland is ever re-founded then you are more than welcome to return. Hopefully we will not encounter as many ideological issues as we have dealt with during my reign as Emperor.

To all nobles, you are free to split off and form independent nations around your holdings. I will not require you and your lands to be dissolved with the Empire. I will hold no ill feelings towards you for wishing to start your own independent nations. You may take any personal items, lands, or wealth with you as I will have no need for it. As with the citizens, if Kirkland is ever re-founded you shall be more than welcome to return and reincorporate your fiefdoms into the new Empire and return to your status in the Empire; if you do not wish to do this then I would understand perfectly.

As a final goodbye to everyone I wish to offer some words of wisdom. During my tenure first as King and then as Emperor there were many issues between the nobles and the citizens. The actions taken by the government were not called for by any measure. Every noble, regardless of rank, should strive to be both fair and generous to those below them. We as nobles must not forget that the right to govern may be granted by God but is also granted by the will of the governed. Always strive to include the common man in all ways possible for if you do not then you are planting the seeds of your own downfall. However, as commoners you must not act harshly or rebelliously towards your lords for it only leads to unnecessary friction. Commoners should always be constructive in their criticism of the nobility, not destructive. Only when the nobility and the common man work together in harmony will truly good government come about. Please take these words to heart for they are sincere.

For the final time, may God bless you and may God bless the Most Glorious and Holy Empire of Kirkland. Thank you, and goodbye.
