Orders For The Division of Authority and Duties Within The Greifan Empire
To be implemented immediatly upon the authority of Her Most August Majesty, Natalya d'Greif
My dear subjects;
We have accomplished truly great things over these past four hundred years. The dominion of the Greif has grown from a small, insignificant duchy in Eastern Europe to what it is today, an intergalactic empire. Today we rule not only the ancient Greifan domane on Earth, but two great celestial bodies as well, the twin planets of Brass Rails and Gernalitily. We, the Greifs, hold sway over the destinies of four and a half billion souls, control one of the galaxies most powerful corporate conglomerates, and do spread the light of God to these billions and countless others outside the Empire through our own High Passionist Church.
I should like to think that I've been a good leader to you, my people, over these four centuries past. I have lead you from one victory to another, given you financial prosperity beyond the call of duty, and kept you, the citizens of this Empire, in tune with the politics and purpose of my own Imperial court. I have done these things not only for myself, but for you, my precious Greiflings, whom I love so dearly. I'm sure you will all agree that I have been the best leader and provider I could be for my people.
It is in holding to this tradition, my dear Greiflings, that I must regretfuly announce the division of our glorious imperial domain. I have come to realize over these past few months that three great realms is two too many for any single man or woman to govern effectively. I should hope that you shall take my decision as a sign that I desire more the effective government and continued growth of our realms over my own personal prestige.
As of today, I shall retire the Imperial capital to my ancient domain of Presgreif, from where I shall continue to rule our Empire and administer to the Greif-Mitsubishi Conglomerate.
I hereby give the rule and government of Brass Rails to my right hand and most loyal subject, Katarina Herodotus. The Lady Katarina will govern Brass Rails and decide upon its external policies as she sees fit, and her kin will remain the rightful heirs to the Planet of Industry.
I also hereby give the planet of Gernalitily to The High Passionist Church, and its Arch Priestess, Sarah Maria Decados, to govern as they see fit, and to have in their posession for all of time.
Though the powers ruling the three realms will from here forthwith be independant entities, sovereign of themselves, they will continue to be part of one Greifan Empire for all time, as three sisters are of the same blood and the same family loyalties.
Such is my will, and so will it be done.
Written in Greifsgrad,
Natalya d'Greif
Empress of The Greif
Directoress of The Concert of High Lords
Proud and Loyal Member of GDODAD, the CoE, and Metus
ooc: What this means ICly is that I shall now be roleplaying these three nations as three seperate entities, independant of one another. Presgreif shall remain the domain of Natalya, Brass Rails shall be the domain of the Herodotus clan, and Gernalitily shall be ruled by the High Passionist Church. Though they remain part of the same Empire, they will have independant foreign policies. This means that I will keep them seperate in character, they will not be aiding one another in war etc.
