My Fellow Ocians,
This morning I received information that Prime Minister Kakali, that the Territory of Luthoria wishes to leave the Federation, going insofar to issue a “Declaration of Independence” for the Royal State of Luthoria. Today, I can confirm that insofar as the treaty signed by both myself and King Kakali, upon the merger, that the Royal State is still under the direct control of the Ocian Federation and Her Government, as per Article 10, of the Treaty of Ali'i Kaona:
Article 10
Luthoria at any time may succeed independence from the Ocian Federation if a referendum in the region is in support for the measure 65% or more and the motion is supported by a majority in the Federal Assembly.
I am aware that a referendum is currently taking place in the Royal State, which the Government of Ocia will allow to freely continue. However, the independence of the territory has not been approved by the Federal Assembly, nor has the Proposal received my approval or signature, as per the Constitution of the Ocian Federation. Therefore, the territory of the Royal State of Luthoria is still under direct control of the Ocian Government until such a time that the provisions set out under article 10 are met. That is, when the full procedure as agreed by both nations are met in full, then the Federation will allow the territory to secede from the Federation, until then the Ocian Government still has full powers as agreed in the aforementioned treaty and the treaty is still in full effect.
I am as of now under the provisions citied under Article 3 of the aforementioned treaty:
Article 3
a) The Governor of the United Kingdom of Luthoria (UKL), shall be styled with the Title “King/Queen of the UKL” and shall be appointed by the President of the Ocian Federation and shall serve in this capacity, regardless of the Terms of the President or the Assembly, until a new King/Queen is appointed by the President of the Ocian Federation, on his own Nomination or that of the Federal Assembly or that of the Parliament of the UKL. The Term of the Old King/Queen only ends when a New King/Queen is appointed, by Presidential Decree.
b) The King shall administer on behalf of the President of the Ocian Federation the Territory of the UKL and shall the same powers granted to the President of the Ocian Federation, in the administration and in the course of his/her duties in the Territory of the UKL only. S/He is directly accountable to the President of the Ocian Federation and must obey every order given to him/her by the Federal Assembly and/or the President.
c) The Federal Assembly, by majority vote and/or the President of the Ocian Federation, by his own initiative, may veto or halt any action by the King/Queen of the UKL, should they feel that such action does not uphold or is in keeping with the Principals of the Federation, its constitution, its laws, the agenda of the state or is otherwise deemed inappropriate.
d) The King/Queen of the UKL, may not represent the Ocian Federation as a whole, engage in foreign relations, of any kind, without the consent of the President of the Ocian Federation or act outside the territory of the UKL.
Under Section C, I am vetoing all orders made by King Kakali, until the Ocian Federation has received a approved seceding order as set out in the article above. The Territory of the Royal State of Luthoria is NOT independent, until such a order is received.
Under the Constitution of Ocia, I am exercising my power to call all Police and Armed Forces in the Royal State back under Ocian control and they will enforce Ocian Law and Protect the legitimate government of the Ocian Federation. Any further moves by Kakali against the provisions set out by the treaty will leave me with no choice but to order his removal as King of Luthoria. Furthermore any unrest in the RS Luthoria will not be tolerated and will be dealt with swiftly.
Therefore, I can confirm, that the Ocian Government is still the legitimate Government of the RS of Luthoria, until the Referendum & Federal Assembly Proposal have been passed and given my signature. I am positive that King Kakali, will note this clause and take appropriate action based upon it and he will also clarify that the RS of Luthoria will remain a Ocian Territory until such that the provisions set out by the Treaty have been met.
Thank you.
