Kremlin Palace: Recently, the High Command has released a statement that, if everything is put into affect, could change the face of the Protestant Prussian Czardom dramatically. The press statement covered things like establishing a Reichskongress, the creation of a federal system of government, stricter punishments for certain types of crimes, the permanent shutdown of concentration camps, and even the abolishment of the SS.
The Minister of Domestic Affairs, Archduke Niccolo Machiavelli, stated that the High Council has been tossing around the idea of establishing a limited-power Reichskongress to allow more say – more specifically, A say – in the government of the people. The High Council is pretty much split down the middle. Powers of the parliament would mostly be to pass laws, raise and lower taxes (not create them) and approve judicial appointees, but the Crown could at any time overrule them, since everything the Reichskongress does would have to go through the Crown – more specifically, the Reich Chancellor, which will be appointed by the Czar at first, but eventually would be elected by both houses of parliament. At the moment, the Czar is leaning to appointing Otto von Bismarck, the Supreme Commander of the General Staff.
It would be divided into two houses – the upper house, the Reichsrat, and the lower house, the Reichstag. Appointees would be approved in the Reichsrat, whose members are elected via Reichstag, and tax bills must start there, go to the Reichstag, and then go back up to the Reichsrat. Although this leaves virtually no power to the Reichstag, its members are elected directly by the people, which henceforth elect the Reichsrat.
Also in the Archduke’s statement was the mentioning of the creation of states. Derscon would be divided into states, the number yet undecided, for supposed “better local governing for the people” General Liam Devlin of the Schutzstaffel said. Critics are outspoken against this, though; one of them being the Foreign Minister, Count Franz von Papen. “All this will do is create more bureaucracy and a larger tax burden on the people,” he was quoted as saying. This part of the statement is likely to hang in limbo for awhile.
Also released in the statement was the announcement that the last concentration camps – which were only open for non-straights and atheists – were destined to be closed. The goal set was ten years, but it is likely to be pushed back by the Reichfuerher of the SS, Heinrich Himmler.
Also, Attorney General Count Gerhard Rundstedt said that “Immoral” crimes and capitol crimes are to have stricter punishments. The example he gave for immoral crimes would be rape. On first offence, the person would be castrated and sentenced to twenty years in a federal prison. Second offence would be the removal of sexual organs via extreme heat and another twenty five years in a federal prision. A third offence would be the permanent deportation to a concentration camp, or when (and if) they are closed; they would be subject to execution.
Also in Count Rundstedt’s statement was the capitol punishment statute. All capitol punishments, such as murders over five people, treason, espionage, and assassinating a government official, are subject to the death sentence. A cap has been placed on the amount of appeals one can make, and the cap now stands at a total of two appeals. For everything except treason, the sentence would either be firing squad or hanging by rope. For treason, the sentence would, by standard, be either being impaled on a meat hook or being hung by piano wire. The Czar, though, could change the execution to a more creative punishment at his will though, as seen with the failed communist uprising and the execution of Lenin.
The final thing mentioned in the release was the possible abolishment of the Schutzstaffel, or the SS. This was mentioned mostly because of its cost, and the fear the SS can place on the people. The Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst or SD, were already elminated upon the current Czar’s ascent to the Throne. Sources inside the High Command say that this is very unlikely to happen.
