Wysonia Palace, Venova - The State Visit
A state banquet was held at the Palace of Wysonia in honour of the visit of the King of Sullis, for the occassion His Majesty the King presented the King of Sullis with the insignia of a Stranger Knight of the Most Venerable Order of the Blue Cross, Venova's most senior Order, given to those who make a significant contribution to the development of foreign realms or service to Venovan foreign relations.

During the banquet His Majesty the King gave a short speech to the assembled peers, bishops, generals, admirals and other dignitaries:-

"Your Majesty, Lords, Sirs, Ladies and Gentlemen,

This is the first state visit performed under my reign and what a way to start! Than to have such a good friend of this nation, the King of Sullis visit.
I am confident that we are already starting to see the positive effects of the state visit, the way we were cheered on our way to the palace this morning was quite something!
I pray, as I'm sure you do sir, that the alliance between our nations may live for many more years and the same for the Alliance of Monarchs.
I hope that soon I will be able to pay a visit to your Majesty in Sullis.
God Bless you Sir."

We have been most pleased to grant our Imperial Accent to the new constitution of this Alliance & Empire.

Palatium Regii Throni, Office of the King's Statements
May 4th, 2024

His majesty, King Alexander I & his company have finished their state visit in the Kingdom of Venova today, remarking the importance of such meeting and noting the generosity of King William VI with his most humble invite.

The visit included the discussion of shared political, economical, and social matters of importance, including the current state of the alliance and the vote for the new constitution, hoping that upon the passage of the vote, a new age of light will emerge in the future.

We, as a state also gracefully accept the orders and honors issued by His Majesty's to our beloved King, and we consider them to be an honor to the whole nation.

In the end, a memorandum of understanding between our governments ensure better economic relations and exchange of experiences in all fields, including a joint training exercise between the Royal Sulli Navy and the Royal Venovan Navy to be held later in August.

May God bless Our Majesties, and may God bless our nations.

And after deliberations and tribulations heard at the Court, and after verifying the votes with the Marshal of the Estates General Routcher. The Court hereby announces any old constitutions or drafts, whether implented or not, to be null and void. And for this draft to fill in the place of the constitution unless any changes are made as seen fit -per section 5-. And for this draft to be transmitted and delivered to all member-states and whom it may interest. And for all member-state to swear to uphold to the fullest extent.

Our order will be communicated to the competent authorities for approval and implementation. So help us God!

Your Royal Majesty, and members of the Alliance,

I have noticed an issue with the new Constitution.

Recognizing that the court has already blessed the document, I still wish to present my concern.

Article 5: Miscellaneous Points, states that "This constitution shall be made law by a two thirds majority vote of the Estates-General and by Imperial Assent of the Emperor."

However, the vote was passed with 7 in favor and 1 opposed. Given that each member-state of the Alliance is a voting member of the Estates-General, a two-thirds majority vote of the Estates-General would require 16 votes in favor. As it stands, a majority of the Estates-General did not vote at all. This will raise concerns over the legitimacy of the document.

I recommend that the Emperor or his Court make an Edict or some other declaration acknowledging an error in the language of the document, and that the intended wording was "two-third of the votes cast" rather than "a two-thirds majority". This would keep the document intact, but would allow for a simple edit that would bring our laws up to the standard of our practice.

The alternative is to either keep the document as-is with the questionable legality or to start over from the beginning with another voting period for a new document with the wording changed.

I make these remarks only to fulfill the duties of my office, not to harm or critique the esteemed members of the Alliance or His Imperial Majesty.

Signed,
Lord William Alexander, Marshall of the Estates-General

The Court has already made that remark during its hearings, however it seems that the draft was not updated accordingly;

Article 5 should be rewritten to read: “This constitution shall be made law by a two thirds majority vote of the Estates-General votes casted by the Estate-General and by Imperial Assent of the Emperor.”
