The purpose of this Act is to establish Marches as a new form of territorial division within the Empire, to annex Caldari as a March of Palasia, to annex Achem as a Crown Dependency, and to transition Terentia into a Town.
-
From henceforth, the Empire may annex to itself inhabited areas of land as Marches, administrative divisions which are not Towns, Territories, or Crown Dependencies.
-
Marches shall be administered by a Margrave and/or Margravine living in the land in question. Margraves and Margravines are addressed as Your Lordship or Your Ladyship.
-
The Margrave and/or Margravine are responsible for the administration and order of the March that they are appointed over. They hold the powers of a Police Inspector over their March.
-
Each March is associated with a Town, being known as a March of that Town. The March is not part of the Town it is associated with, nor does the respective Town Council hold jurisdiction over it, but the Representative of said Town represents the interests of the residents of the March. The subjects of the March have a vote in local elections for the Representative of the Town they are associated with; said Representative has the responsibility of ensuring good governance of the March by the Margrave and/or Margravine, and may report any concerns to the central government.
-
Marches are included within a Duchy but not within a Province.
-
