Recommendation of the Censorate on Political Reform

The Censorate of Istkalen, in the interests of promoting good governance and stability, has formulated and released a proposal for political reform in Istkalen, focused on preventing rapid changes in government, establishing better checks on government power, and reducing political influence over the bureaucracy. The major points made in the proposal are summarized below:

IN REGARDS TO POLITICAL PARTIES

We view the existence of political parties as an unambiguous negative. They serve, in our eyes, only to divide the nation, distort legitimate political discussion, and promote corruption. While we favor a democratic form of state, we do not believe that it ought to be on the Western-parliamentary style.

We propose that those holding political office be prohibited from holding party-based affiliations, and that parties be banned from endorsing candidates in elections. In order to ensure the equitable representation of coherent interests in Istkalen, we call for a return to the old "corporatist" form of representation in the legislature, where, in place of direct elections as exist in most of Europe, deputies are appointed by state bodies representing the vocations, the regions, and the nationalities.

IN REGARDS TO THE CABINET

We are against a politically based cabinet; ministers should be non-partisan and appointed on a purely technocratic basis, based on merit and neutrality above ideology. The role of the government should be to administer, not to legislate - the latter is an usurpation and an abuse that contributes and has contributed to national disintegration.

IN REGARDS TO THE POWER OF THE HEAD OF STATE

We are in favor of a strong and decisive role for the head of state. We believe that the position must have at its command the power to veto and to freely issue decrees, within a scope defined by some form of constitutional document, in order to ensure a rapid response to crises. Nevertheless, we hold that there must be strict limitations on the ability of decrees in particular to affect political, economic, and social institutions in order to prevent the type of rapid change and vacillation that has been seen in the country up to this point.

IN REGARDS TO CHECKS AND BALANCES

We are for a stronger role for the Council of Examination in approving candidates for political office - we believe that it ought to be given an absolute veto over proposed candidacies to any position at a national level. We also believe in the strengthening of the advisorial role of the High Council of Justice, to the point that it is permitted to freely veto and annul legislation and decrees on the basis of it being unconstitutional.

We are also for the strengthening of our own position so that we become effectively an upper house of parliament, with the full ability to amend and veto legislation on any basis.

We are against any changes to the system of appointments - they should and must remain self-regulated and made.

President of the Censorate

17 October 2023

The government has put in several defence policies to only use military for self defense only. We find no purpose beyond defending the homeland.

The Speaker: We now turn to Questions without Notice. I call upon the Leader of the Opposition.

Mr. Peña Nieto (CDP): The government will run a $55 billion deficit. Despite having extraordinarily high VAT, income tax, Medicare levy, NDIS tax, carbon tax etcetera, the economy is not growing at the promised and cost of living is high. Can we finally admit the government is failing Californians?

The Prime Minister: We understand that this turn of fiscal prudence is difficult but these programs need proper funding. These programs are important for disabled Californians, those who need a helping hand and people who need government support. But, of course, the CDP want to cut funding. If we're really concerned about debt and tax burden, why not ask the wealthy to shoulder more since they're able.

Regarding the So-Called Peace Offering of the Satanic "National Salvation Council"

Our Church has been offered the opportunity to cleanse the beating heart of sin in this country, that modern Babylon, the city of Kirelesile, and it has taken it. The forces of God are in occupation of it, and are at work to cleanse it of the spiritual and physical dirt it has accumulated over the years.

But this opportunity - this offering - is not enough to satiate us. It has been made in vain; we will not stop our campaign to ensure the survival of God's message and the triumph of His church simply because the secular authorities have thrown to us a bone.

Let us reiterate - the government of Istkalen, which still governs the majority of the territory of Istkalen, betrayed us. It sought to put a permanent end to us and to our mission for the sake of its - Satan's - power. And that, to us, to God, is absolutely unacceptable. This body has degraded itself; it is of the Devil, of sin, and it is thus our divine mission to work for its collapse.

We have more power than we have ever had, and we will use it for the sake of our own ends, as the rest of the country turns against itself, as is par for the course for the agents of Satan. Here, then, are our demands:

the cession of all territory south of the River Keristen, that flows from the Urals to the eastern border of the country, demarcated by the River Ostreté, to the church the free lease, in perpetuity, of all mineral resources currently in the joint possession of the Istkalenic state and the so-called "Miners' Association," and all associated facilities, of refinement and transportation, possessed by either of these two, the Labor Association, and/or the Commerce Association the reduction of the Istkalenic army to a maximum of 10.000 in personnel, and the creation of a demilitarized zone, 15 km in width, beginning from the border between the territories controlled by the Istkalenic state and those controlled by the church a recognition of the ultimate sovereignty of God and of His church over so-called secular affairs by the Istkalenic state a recognition of the complete independence and sovereignty of the church from the Istkalenic state by the Istkalenic state the extradition, to the former "German Territories," of all those individuals the church deems to be its enemies

These demands are not made lightly; they are our minimum program. We will give the Istkalenic state three days either to accept all its provisions; if they refuse them, we shall begin the apocalypse. We hold powers, granted by Him, that you do not know of, the power to bring fire down from the sky, to poison and make bitter the earth and the waters, to spread plagues amongst the people , to bring about famine across the world, to begin the Endtimes and the final renewal of the Earth.

The Lord be with you,

Erkas Tilisek
President of the Governate

Terrorist threat level set to Critical
We have in response to statements on twitter and social media by one Tarek Al-Wazir and evidence from intelligence set the terror level to critical. This means we consider there is a high risk of terrorism in the immediate future if we do not act. We are authorising police extra powers to deal with any threats and the authorisation to deploy armed police in all major areas of cities such as stations , airports , stadiums and major events. We will not cower to terrorists and will make sure events are safe. We are reviewing security arrangements for the families named in the tweets and the families of politicians who may be under threat. We will act against all forms of terror and not stand for this threat to all Duchians.

27 August 2023

The Queen Consort and I warmly invite HM Felipe and HM Leticia to Castle Balmoral in Scotland for an intimate gathering. We always enjoy hosting the Spanish Royal Family and wish for them to Dublin Castle in Ireland.

William V Rex

State Visit

The Spanish Royal Household is pleased to announce Their Majesties the King of Spain, Felipe VI; and the Queen of Spain, Leticia; will travel on Monday, 28th August 2023, to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in a official state visit; celebrating the great existing relationship between both Kingdoms and their respective Royal Households. The King and the Queen will meet with King William V in Balmoral Castle.

Statement on the Newly Introduced Tariffs by the United Duchies

The Kingdom of Spain rejects the start of a Trade War between the United Duchies and the Kingdom of Spain, after the former raised Spanish tariffs to Schedule 5, establishing a 35% tariff on national products. The decision allegedly comes after the United Duchies considered there is an ongoing crisis between the two countries, something that was certainly untrue until tonight. The lack of a summit between the two nations follows a decision from the Spanish Government in which it does not wish to establish free trade or travel with the United Duchies at the moment, and which the United Duchies seems to be attempting to force a change to.

The United Duchies has, as stated before, decided that the best move was to begin a trade war between our nations, in order to force the Spanish Government to capitulate to Cair Para's exigences. The Spanish Government will not put its knees to the ground, as we believe the United Duchies interests go further beyond free commerce and movement. The Government at Cair Para clearly provoked instability in the Caspian and Red Seas, and their extortion attempts go further from Spain, involving two allied nations of Spain and whose trust has been earned and continues to be firm: Inimicus and North Diessen.

In response to this tariff changes, the Kingdom of Spain therefore rises the Duchian tariff to a 40%. Nevertheless, the Spanish Government will be glad to lower these tariffs if the United Duchies does so. The relationship between the two nations, against what was stated by the Cair Para's Government, was formal and fine; and it should have remained like this if the United Duchies would not have acted in a hostile maneer against Spanish products and companies.

22 August 2023

The Government recognises the policies of the Kingdom of Spain and the Federal Republic of Yosai and will not get involved. We have maintained for years that this "protection" may technically be legal, flies in the face of free trade. Essentially, it's a government sponsored cartel that the Union justifies. We, however, wish that both parties compromise.

Changes to travel rules for citizens of the United Kingdom

19 August 2023

Previously, the Brætha have instituted a ban on travel by citizens of the United Kingdom to the Kingdom of Sertia.

The Brætha appreciate the disruption this travel ban has caused, disallowing many family reunions, business affairs and affecting income due to a decrease in tourism.

Effective 19 August, citizens of the United Kingdom will be able to apply for an E-visa to come to Sertia. This visa will be valid for one entry, with a maximum stay of 91 days out of every 180 days.

The Brætha continue to condemn statements made by the government of the United Kingdom concerning the domestic affairs of Sertia, but recognise the need for uninterrupted trade of people, goods and services for the betterment of the European Union.

It is illegal to publicly endorse, by speech or by media, the former regime of the Republic of Aspern, due to continued violence and danger posed by the Aspernians to the good people of the Kingdom of Sertia. Anyone found guilty of committing an offence on these grounds will be subject to 180 days in prison or 250 hours' community service. The Brætha reserve the right to notify InterSpol of any pertinent offences.

The Speaker: We now come to Prime Minister's Questions.

Ms. Phillips (Labour): Number one, Mr. Speaker.

The Prime Minister: I'd like to, first, call attention to Armed Forces Day. We consistently thank their protection of our society. We also commemorate the HMS Empire Windrush and the immense contribution of that generation to our modern society. This morning, I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Ms. Phillips: The ONS have shown our HDI and poorest incomes have consistently risen since our election. Does this show Labour has our most vulnerable at heart?

The Prime Minister: What the validation of our policies the ONS have shown. If you take care of the most vulnerable, everyone benefits.

His Majesty's Leader of the Opposition (Conservative): I'd first like to associate myself with the Prime Minister's remarks on the armed forces and those whocame with the Windrush. The same ONS report also shows a decline in disposable income and higher tax burden. How are we going too make people better off with that trend?

The Prime Minister: Tax burden isn't the only marker of being well off. Everywhere else but the region of Southern England have properly funded services. Even Fine Gael led Ireland is better off with our policies. Tory led Southern England, the Tory bastion is questionnable.
