Foundation of the Sertian National Fund

25 May 2022

It is the utmost pleasure of the Customary Logistics Council to announce the creation of the Sertian National Fund. This nationally-owned foundation is the cornerstone of Sertia's newly-designed welfare system.

We as Sertians value the strength and vitality of our local communities. It is the government's wish to support our strong interpersonal connections which contribute to Gadalland and Aspern's rich culture, allowing solidarity and independent thought but maintaining a healthy level of co-dependence and unity.

The Sertian National Fund (SNF) is where taxpayer money goes, and government support comes from. Through the SNF, the government will provide financial support for the needs of our citizens.

The following benefits will become available with the creation of the SNF:

• Low Income Supplementation
• Financial support during periods of unemployment
• Student Financial Support
• Promoting equal access to our developing public transport system
• Guaranteed assistance for voluntary donors

The SNF will also oversee and strengthen existing benefits, such as the Elder Care Fund and the Sertian Health Service, as well as create increased social safety for our citizens.

The government has allocated 40% of its spending to the SNF alone for the first two years, and the rest to general infrastructure.

More information regarding eligibility requirements will be soon to follow.

EVACUATION MANDATE

FROM THE OFFICE OF METEOROLOGY:

The Braetha has approved a proposal to instate an evacuation mandate in anticipation of Hurricane Ferra's landfall.

Hurricane Ferra is currently a low-pressure system to the southwest of the Sertian islands. We anticipate that Ferra will be a Category 4 Hurricane when Ferra makes landfall.

Category 4 Hurricanes pose substantial risk to human life and existing structures, even those considered 'Hurricane-proofed', with winds up to 150 km/hour. Rain, lightning and wind can threaten the security of your home and your utilities.

Beginning at 19:00 on 30 September, all persons living in the affected area(s) will be strongly advised to evacuate inland. Compensation will be provided for transport and accommodation will be provided through the Quartering Act 1980.

Please carry your national identity card with you during the evacuation as you will need it to prove you are entitled to accommodation.

New powers to deal with unacceptable and violent speech

25 November 2022

The Independent Leadership Authority (ILA) has granted permission for the government to enforce stricter consequences for instances of unacceptable speech and expression.

Please see Braetha 274 below:

(a) Unacceptable speech is here defined as any such self-expression which poses an evident threat to the right of citizens to engage in ordinary peace.

(b) It is therefore a criminal offence to disrupt any right to ordinary peace by use of speech which harasses, threatens, or violates, from the extent of the incitement or implication of violence, an ordinary citizen's right to ordinary peace.

(c) Any destruction of government property, as a consequence of the violation of ordinary peace by unacceptable speech, is a Significant Criminal Offence.

Any charge of (a) combined with (b) and/or (c) carries the following penalties:

• No minimum prison sentence, and a maximum prison sentence of 15 years

• A minimum fine of £350 and a maximum fine of £1000

Any rulings on the convictions under Braetha 274 will be mediated by the Judicial Union.

Statement by new head of Braetha Fornithias Cranst

Dear Sertia,

It is such a pleasure to be standing here in front of you, not just as the leader of the Braetha, but as a citizen of this growing nation. I am thankful to all of those who saw that Sertia is on this trajectory, and by electing me I can assure you all that you have supported that trajectory.

It has been a difficult year for Gadalland and Aspern. We've had the kidnapping of our long-time leader, and wonderful friend of mine, Mr. Henry Spiggen. We've had tumult and chaos with incompetent leadership. Now, I will do my very best to support the people of Gadalland and Aspern.

Today, the Braetha has just put forth a scheme to expand high-speed public transport across Gadalland and Aspern, replacing the inefficient and unsafe systems in place now.

And in just a few hours, we are scheduled to officially scrap any laws on the capacity of protests.

It has been an honour serving you, and I hope to be worthy to continue to serve this great nation in any way I can.

Statement on the banishment of Guthrun Wond from the Eremundarias Triumvirate of Holy Cities: Hemberdale, Osperfey, and Plariaras

The Braetha has unanimously voted to send Mr. Guthrun Wond into an indefinite period of exile from the city of Hemberdale, the city of Osperfey, and the city of Plariaras. The dates of his exile begin with immediate effect.

Punishment for violating the terms of banishment may result in exile from the Six Unions of Gadalland and Aspern, or imprisonment upon entry into any of the aforementioned territories.

The Braetha recognises the severity of Mr. Wond's malpractice of government service, and hopes that this punishments serves to warn other leaders to protect the will of the people and strive to prevent chaos wherever it is sufficient and necessary to do so.

Held:

Mr. Guthrun Wond,
By the laws of humanity ensconced within the Sertian Domex 1224 and the unchanged rules of political administration, the Braetha hereby sentences you to indefinite political exile from the sacred cities of Hemberdale, Osperfey, and Plariaras.

Government votes to sanction Svarna Surya

The Braetha finds the recent actions of the government of the People's Democratic Republic of Svarna Surya to warrant an unacceptable violation of human rights.

This conclusion has been reached by applying the following standards:

a. Determining which actions by foreign states are condonable under international laws of human rights, and

b. Determining whether the actions of a foreign state would warrant significant criminal or Layeonic action in the Six Unions of Gadalland and Aspern.

It is on these premises that the government has voted to apply sanctions to the state of Svarna Surya.

The government has found that the actions of Svarna Surya have met the requirements of "harmful and unstable" as established by Article I(2) in Rolling Sanctions Act 2021.

On these grounds, the government is authorised to apply the appropriate provisions of relevant domestic law. Pursuant to Rolling Sanctions Act 2021, the government has found that the economic sanctions 1(a,b,c), diplomatic sanctions 2(a,b,c,d,e), and individual sanctions 3(a,b,c,d) can reasonably be applied to the People's Democratic Republic of Svarna Surya.

This mandate is to be applicable with immediate effect.
