OOC: This does not take place on any 'Earth.' It is just something I am doing to validate my own mental picture of Malkyer. These claims are only good within my RPs, and I realize that there are conflicting claims with other nations, particularly with all the new invasions going on due to CE’s Earth 13.75. In these cases, and any others, I am willing to work out an acceptable compromise, so that I can still RP with people. See here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=410917) for more details as to how this land was acquired.

In response to the growing size of the Imperial Commonwealth of Malkyer, and in an effort to streamline the governing of the various Colonies by cutting down the bureaucracy and moving the reins of government closer to the relevant populations, His Majesty's Government has announced the following changes to the structure of the Commonwealth.

The Imperial Commonwealth is hereby divided into five parts: four internally self-governed Viceroyalties and several Crown Colonies, ruled directly from the captial through the various Colonial Offices. The Viceroyalties, being made up of several provinces or colonies, will have complete internal self-rule, except in military and economic matters. His Majesty's Government will maintain control over all foreign policy decisions of the Viceroyalties.

A census will be held across the Commonwealth as soon as possible in order to determine an accurate figure for the population of the Imperial Commonwealth.

The Royal Army, Royal Navy, Royal Airforce, and Royal Marines will provide the unified defense of all colonies and Viceroyalties. No colonial militia is permitted to exceed 10,000 fighting soldiers, and no Viceroyal militia may exceed 50,000 fighting men, though these numbers may be increased with permisson from the Colonial Office and Ministry of Defense during times of war.

It is recommended by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that any nation with an embassy in Malkyer also establish Consulates in the Viceroyalties.

*OOC: The claim of Haifa is, by mutual agreement, void in any RP involving Ottoman Khaif. I was rewarded Haifa by Nicapolis after the New Crusades awhile back, before I started to RP with OK. He informed me that Haifa was, obviously, a pretty important port in OK, and so to get to the point: If Ottoman Khaif is involved, ignore my claim to Haifa; otherwise, it is a Crown Colony of Malkyer.

Also, I will have the populations up as soon as possible. My original intention was to add up the populaitons of the various colonies and whatnot, but that number was just under 230 million, leaving me will well over a billion people just kinda...there. So, until I’ve figured out where to put the rest of my population, just assume that the ‘census’ hasn’t been completed yet.

(Excellent work, Malkyer.)
