Description[?]:
| Your Imperial and Heavenly Majesty, Yūkīō-Rabuzubāgu Amaterasu and the Honorable Imperial Landsraad, We have for long been waiting for crucial reforms that would make the Best nation in the world even better. Now, time has come to increase the efficiency of our system and obtain funds necessary to Glorify our Great Shogunate. I humbly fought for the well-being of our Magnificent Nation by ending the Neo-Septemberist menace that once ravaged the South. This Act's only dignified purpose is to improve our ruling strategy and enter the next century Gloriously with funds to improve Terra. We all depend on Her Imperial and Heavenly Majesty and know that She will be able to bravely lead us to a new century full of prosperity. From this moment on, the official ideology of The Holy Shogunate of Mikuni-Hulstria and its Dominions will be Noble Capitalism. A Humble Servant of the Shogunate, Annelies Kāsutāku-Sagū |
