The National Archives are proud to present the thirtieth-anniversary edition of our Constitution.

So that the forces of evil shall never again hold dominion over Kaleidian soil, let the following be known and enacted:

1. That the evil force of communism once ensnared the Kaleidian people;

2. That the Kaleidian people were once subjugated under the tyrannical rule of the Communist Party of Greater Michigan;

3. That ten thousand Kaleidians valiantly sacrificed their lives to liberate our soil from the iron grip of the Communist Party;

4. That we, the Kaleidian people, pledge to our descendants forever, the blessings of economic liberty;

5. That we, the Kaleidian people, pledge to our descendants forever, the right to religious freedom;

1. The name of our state shall be, the Independent State of Kaleidos;

2. The official languages shall be Greek and English, but Greek shall be the national language, and in case of any discrepancy in law, the Greek text shall take precedence;

3. The state shall be governed by a National Commission, which shall consist of three Commissioners;

4. These Commissioners shall hold absolute power within the framework of this Constitution, but two Commissioners must be in agreement to pass any law;

2. The six largest political parties shall be listed on each ballot, along with four open slots for other parties, and the voter shall rank the parties according to his preference;

4. And this process shall repeat until all three slots have been filled, and each victorious party shall choose its Commissioner from amongst itself;

5. And each party shall have the option of replacing their chosen Commissioner upon his death or resignation, and his replacement shall serve the rest of his term;

6. But no Communist party shall exist, and no Communist shall serve as Commissioner.
