Hello, I am Flavia Quintus and this is a Guilder Lunch Time News Special, we have just received a press release from the Imperial Palace. It is of a most generous nature and could make way for landmark reforms in the Guild system of Government.

The Emperor has today signed a decree stated that an Imperial Senate shall be formed, it’s first meeting shall be in three months time in a specially commissioned Hall, which is to sit opposite the Imperial Palace on the outcrops above Vas Urbs, early reports suggest it maybe built entirely of White Marble in the Romano-Greek design.

It will contain 401 Senators and the Emperor will preside over it himself, in the Emperors absence an Imperial Appointee the Praetor General will take over in the Emperor’s stead.

The 400 Senators will be comprised of the following:

100 Chief Executive Officer’s (or appointed representative) of the Guilder 100 Corporations (updated yearly)
50 Governors of the Imperial Provincial Cities
50 Arch-Bishops of the Imperial Provincial Cities
30 Arch-Chancellors of the 30 ‘League of St. Christopher’ Universities
20 Former/Current Generals/Imperial General Staff Members of the Guild Military
100 Electoral Representatives from the Educated Middle Class
30 High Judges of the Guilder Imperial Court
2 Knights Templar Masters
2 Knights of St. Peter Masters
3 Abbots of the Guilder Monastic Orders
3 Abbesses of the Guilder Nunnery Orders
The Grand Master of the Monks of St. Michael
10 Direct Appointee’s of the Emperor/Imperial Court.

To be eligible for selection to the Senate:

Must be a well known and vouched for by his/her local Bishopric Catholic.

Must have no criminal record

Must be a Guilder by birth

Must receive approval from the Imperial Court.

The Senate will be dealing with the minor workings and the fleshing out of Imperial General Policy, it will serve the Emperor’s interests directly and indirectly.

The Emperor and Imperial Court will still control all major directions of Policy and all Senate decisions/petitions/bills have to ratified and signed by the Emperor.

The Emperor is also pleased to announce three parties have been put forward by members of the Educated Middle Class for their Senators to belong to as a general sense of ideal logy.

These are:

The Ave Maria Party – Hard-line Catholic Domestic Conservatives

National Socialist Guilder Workers Party – Guffingfordii inspired party whose agenda includes the extermination of all non-pure Guilders, the creation of an Ubermensch Master Race, they also advocate moving against all non-Catholic Parties.

Spread the Faith Party – Extremely Hard-line Catholics, whose mandates includes the full scale extermination or forcible conversion of non-Catholics in the World.

To vote in the Guilds General Elections you must:

Own your own property, of more than 200,000 Guilders in value.

Be a confirmed Catholic (Bishopric Vouch necessary)

Register at a Guilder Electoral Centre and pay the Registration Fee of 30 Guilders.

This is a great day for Guilders Worldwide, we ask we all come together to thank the Emperor, who in celebration of this historic day has order the construction of a huge Coliseum for the purpose of Gladiatorial games. The Emperor’s Architects have speculated that the construction will take a year and perhaps a few months additionally to fit all the specialist equipment in.

Once the games are complete we hope to be able to welcome many distinguished Envoys from the nations comprising God’s Temporal Armies and our righteous allies to the first games.

That was the news, at 1 O’clock, Guilder Standard Time.
