In anticipation of the passage of the poorly worded and incredibly flawed fair trial definition document currently before the united nations, the religious authorities that rule the nation of Shirresh have announced changes to their government.

A Government spokeswoman is quoted as saying "With the renaming of the judicial branch of the government to be 'The Nobility' and retitling the position of judge to "Lord and Lady" we have created a true peerage in our government and thus all trials shall be before the Peers of Shrresh."

In other news from the Nation, the venue of all trials has been defined under law as being the entire nation and all trials shall be put on the docket of whichever court in the nation has the first opening to fulfill the requirement for a speedy and efficient trial in the appropriate venue. Death has been approved as appropriate punishment for any criminal offense. Though it is not the maximum sentence, it is to be allowed for consideration based on the harm such lawlessness cause to the victim, the state for the trial, the impact on the general behavior of the nation and other considerations.
