Heya folks,

So this is my notice that I am going to be stepping down from the Court soon. A variety of circumstances had already meant that I was considering stepping back but recent events in which a certain part of the community has made clear that I am not welcome as far as they are concerned and that they do not feel I can separate my duties and Lazarus and my duties in other regions. While I fundamentally disagree with the later point their expressing of the former attitude has contributed to me bringing forward my departure. I wish to stress that I was already intending to step down and that recent occurrences have merely brought forward my departure.
I will not be leaving right now as I am not going to leave the court a man down. Those who wish to apply for my place on the court are encouraged to message Tubbius and the chosen applicant will be taught legal interpretation by me before they are appointed to the role. Only then will I step down with another Wymwall :p

History of The People's Republic of Lazarus
Established 10/21/13
Feux's Term Comes to an End

Feux, in his final great act as delegate, removed the presence of imperialist interlopers from the region; the imperialists had previously established a voting bloc in the council that acted in foreign interests, and presented an immediate threat to Lazarene sovereignty. This decision prompted the LKE to end relations with Lazarus, Lazarus to close embassies and void treaties with TNI, and for all Lazarene treaties with imperialists to end.

Harmoneia was appointed to the delegacy by Feux and a vote from the Emerald Council approved of this transition. Milograd was appointed to the vice-delegacy and to roles as a security commissioner; newcomer Kazmr, Matheca, and Aperi joined the Lazarene Cabinet. These were, however, some of the final acts of the Emerald Council.

Birth of the People's Republic

Harmoneia, seeking to secure Lazarene sovereignty, abolish the monarchy and nobility, and rejuvenate the region, proposed the abolishment of the Lazarene Kingdom's constitution. The Emerald Council approved it and thereby dissolved itself. Shortly thereafter, former councilors were called to vote on a new constitution: the Constitution of the People's Republic of Lazarus. The charter opens with a simple explanation of its goals:

Quote: wrotereamble

The Socialist Harmonious Society of Lazarus (SHSL) and the People's Republic of Lazarus (PRL) exist with three primary purposes:

• To protect the sovereignty and residents of the Lazarene region,
  
• To enhance the gaming experiences of our Lazarene comrades,
  
• To work towards building a harmonious society in our region.
  

...

In this day and age many game-created regions are governed by entities that are increasingly remote from the in-game population. The Socialist Harmonious Society, through the words and actions of the people, strives to bridge that gap in Lazarus and develop a government that directly interacts and serves the will of the people, and that provides equality to all Lazarenes. This can and must be done through displaying participation, interest, loyalty, and attachment to our class, and by marching towards our ideal Lazarus while also fighting against ideas and entities that would hinder our progress towards achieving the three goals.
