Description[?]:

This is an amendment to Article III (section 7) of the Basic Law pertaining to the Crown of Hulstria and Mikuni and Article VIII of the basic law pertaining to the Crownlands:

Amended text as follows:

Article III (7) The Emperor of Hulstria and Mikuni shall act as ceremonial head of state to all Crownlands that, under this basic law, form part of the nation. The Emperor shall be represented in each Crownland by an Imperial Lord (Lady) Provost who is the most senior noble within the Crownland (as designated within the Senior Nobility of the Imperial Crownlands Act 4373 - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=563979), or by a representative appointed by the most senior noble in each Crownland;


Article VIII) The Crownlands
(1)The Constitution guarantees the autonomy of the Crownlands and, where applicable, their Cantons and other sub-districts;
(2) The Crownlands shall be autonomous in such matters as the law shall describe; their constitutional laws shall not contradict the provisions of this Basic Law; the law may make further provisions concerning their institutions;
(3) The legislative powers of the Crownlands shall be vested in a legislative body referred to for the purposes of national law as the Crownland Diet (Randutago, Landtag, Kanryou-gikai);
(4) The Emperor shall be represented in each Crownland by the most senior noble within the Crownland (as designated within the Senior Nobility of the Imperial Crownlands Act 4373 - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=563979), or by a representative appointed by the most senior noble. This representative shall hold the title Imperial Lord (Lady) Provost.
(5) The Imperial Provost shall appoint, based on the confidence of the Crownland Diet for each Crownland, a government consisting of a head of government referred to for the purposes of national law as a Minister-President and Crownland Ministers;
(6) Each Crownland shall for the adjudication of its laws refer to the national system of courts established under the law;


OOC Notes

7) Section 8
The Government of the Crownlands shall be simulated as follows: the allocation of seats in the Landtag will be based on the national election results; a player analysing the elections shall propose what this means for the formation of Crownland governments, with the final say being with individual players on what their parties do in each Crownland.

Crownland governments may be RPed in the news thread. It shall be assumed that the largest party appoints a Minister-President unless parties with fewer seats would obviously form a different coalition. The appointment of Imperial Provosts from amongst the prominent aristocracy helps to add more flavour to the ranks of the senior nobility. In effect, their roles are largely ceremonial, apolitical and for RP purposes.
