Constitutional Rule in Osriguard

The Holy Empire of Osriguard was ruled under the confines of its constitution from it's inception to the the brief, unnamed law now known as the Declaration of Trust. Under the constitution, the Senate, as well as local government functioned separately from any imperial decrees, for the most part, divulging the power within the country to local areas. This period would be host to the first and only ever senate elections held under the empire.

Formation
"By the Osri-Stoneguardian Imperial Conclave the Royal Lands of Osria and the Xynthian Commonwealth of Stoneguard are hereby united into the Holy Empire of Osriguard." - Opening statements of the Imperial Conclave

Political Collision
As a result of the collapse of the Second Uraki Imperium, the countries of Osria and Stoneguard returned to the world stage after periods of suppression. In particular, Stoneguard was left devoid and stripped of its identity after centuries of oppressive rule, first under the First Uraki Imperium after its annexation, and from then on existing under the reigns of foreign rulers and natives who gave their loyalty to foreigners, earning the hatred of the people.

The two domains had always been the most important in Uraka, and now found themselves free of shackles which had, for so long, bound them. despite the work done to restore their countries, their leaders found themselves in a world of hostile forces, leading the newly appointed Hand of the Royals of Osria, Aether Osri Draconis (Original name unknown, but a gifted politician from the tiny rocky island of Blackstone, adopted by Karth Osri Draconis to legitimize his appointment) sought to unite the countries together through his connections with an influenctial councilor in Stoneguard, SMashster007 (Mr. Gaming)

After forming an alliance between the countries, Aethar (Cactus) forced the matter with the defacto leader of Stoneguard, Lucius Aurelian (Vaicos). This was done via diplomatic blackmail between the two countries, but the uneasy union would become surprisingly unbreakable rather quickly. The country was officially formed through declaration on August 23th, 2023, though the treaties were signed on August 19th. The period between the signing and declaration was used to prepare government institutions, and despite the time given, the unification was seen as rushed in hindsight. This would rear its head through incapable institutions, lack of efficiency and a lack of a proper legislature.

August
August would see the early, flawed formation of institutions, a vast array of confused government members and strained foreign relations. Initial alliances were formed, and new lands were purchased.

August 19th - The constitution was written and conclave held, key points included the flawed and unimplemented senate system (Seen below), a provision demanding equality among citizens, and a Royal Body with one member to be held as ceremonial emperor. This was never implemented and instead three emperors were made, two from each half and one rotating on a monthly basis (Closed Door negotiations, rotations never occurred). The Constitution was signed by Cactus, Mr. Gaming, Ixsena, and Vaicos.

August 20th - Government members were informed and budgeting and economic plans began. At this time, the Emperors were decided by Vaicos and Cactus as Cactus, Ixsena and Mr. Gaming. The Hand of The Emperors was named as Vaicos.

August 23rd - The unification was publicly announced and the new cross banned was flown for the first time over Osrian and Stoneguardian cities. The capital could not be selected as any city besides the greatest in all the lands, Urak.

August 25th - The united Imperial Military of Osriguard was officially formed by Imperial Decree from Cactus.

August 26th - An organized Ministry of Finances was established by Cactus.

August 29th - Alariclornfield, founder of Vanguard bank successfully bid to become co-Hand with Vaicos. He had previously provided the Lexarch of Finances, Walker Reddington. He immediately began a program to reorganize the government and streamline affairs. He also began crafting plans to set up a central bank for the country.

August 30th - The lands of Northeastern Orisifell were purchased from the land broker Bogie. Senate procedures, a national bank, currency, and debt ceiling were passed by the legislature from the commendable initiatives of Hand Alariclornfield. Additionally, funding for training programs, industrial initiatives, clarifications of executive powers and a national credit program were proposed by Alaric and passed with little resistance. Additionally, Emperor Ixsena proposed a peace treaty with the Galus Crownlands, a group of rebels who supported the former Uraki Imperator Tylics. The treaty passed.

August 31st - A debt act, The Consolidated Debts Act was proposed and passed under the endorsement of Alariclornfield. The act had the countries central bank take of management of all government debts, as well as the prohibiting of subnational regions from taking debt aside from from the bank.

September
September would see the collapse of government relations, the invasion of Urak and other cities in Osria due to the violation of the peace treaty with Galus, and a general quickening of the decline of Osriguard into absolutism.
