In accordance with Paragraph 5 of the Territorial Changes Act 2021, Our Imperial Majesty hereby cedes the Territory of Fraternitas and sovereignty over the same to the Commonwealth of New Virginia.
Furthermore, the Province of Greater Fraternitas, as well as the titles of Nobility associated with said Territory and Province, are hereby dissolved and abolished.
The above provisions of this Imperial Decree will come into force on 1 November 2021.
We can think of no better way for Fraternitas to fulfil the meaning of its name than by serving as a gift made in good faith by the Empire to provide the Commonwealth of New Virginia with a physical connection to the original Austenasian Duchy of the same name. Our Imperial Majesty reiterates and reaffirms our will for peace and friendship with New Virginia, and our confidence in the legitimate elected government of the same moving forward from the events of the past several months.
Decreed at Chester this twenty fifth day of October during the ninth year of our reign, in the year of the consulship of Hannah Augusta and Bradley Archidux Saxoniae, anno mundi 7530.
