The High Imperial Court (Principia Moderni II Map Game)

Ideas on the structure of the High Imperial Court
I purpose that the Court be held in Karolin post haste and that its first cases be the treason trial of Savoy and the Heresy issues in the North.

Now the question is, How do we set it up? Give me all of your concerns and I will try to make a fair and equitable Court. So without further adeu, Begin! Andr3w777 (talk) 00:45, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

As we need to define many things (currency, judicial system, Emperor's exact powers, powers of the states, Reichstag's powers, etc...) I think we should have a "constitution", a Magna Carta granting and making clear the Empire's structure. I will work on making a constitutional proposal, do any of you have ideas to this new constitution? Obviously I'll base on the already made pacts such as the Unification Treaty. --Galaguerra

Yes I agree with you on this, Perhaps an amendment that addresses the grievances caused by this vassalization issue that led to Savoy's rebellion?Andr3w777 (talk) 02:57, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Exactly. We all should vote on what the structure of this new Empire will be, I'll just make the corpus. --Galaguerra

Okay. I will try to make a constitution tomorrow, that doesn't have all the fancy wording and stuff. Monster Pumpkin (talk) 03:15, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Justice Appointees?
How many justices? and what will be their term? Election or appointed?

I don't know. Any ideas?
 * Appointed sounds good, that gives the Emperor and Government more power. Still some nations may see this unfair. But appointed sounds more reasonable and less time consuming.

Cheif Justice
Should it be the Emperor or elected/appionted?

Maybe the head justice should be elected among the judgee or the conclave

I was thinking that we would have one judge frim the smaller/less influential nations and two judges from the influential nations. I was thinking that they should be voted on in the Conclave.Andr3w777 (talk) 00:56, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Savoy's Treason
According to this hearing, Savoy has committed Treason against the Holy Roman Empire and has influenced other states into following it. What should be the verdict?


 * The Bavarian Court Elector (proposed justice) believes that Treason is a serious offense, and with the information as it stands, Savoy is guilty in the eyes of Bavaria for insighting rebellion and desturbing the Order. Furthermore, it is our belief that the Swiss be reprimanded harshly over their treatment of Savoy, which Bavaria believes, is the primary catalyst for these actions.
 * Milan: Milan belive that all those leaders/head of state involved in the treason should be executed if they do not surrender and stop the war. If they surrender they must pay compensations to the HRE loyal nations. Their respectives armies should be dismantle and combined to the HRE's army.

The Luxembourg Royal Family
Until recently, the Luxembourg Royal Family was held in captivity until they were rescued under the dark of night. What were the charges leveled against them, and what should be the verdict?

Heresy in the North
As of this hearing, a new form of Christianity is forming in the northern parts of the country. What should be done in regards to this new religious prescence?


 * Milan: "The official religion of the Empire is any form of Christianity. Other religions are allowed on the condition that they do not threaten the government or the state religion" Quote from the Unification Treaty, we should consider this.
 * Calais: A moderator (LLB) already said that was wrong for the epoch we're dealing with. "We have to send missioanries to convert this heretics into the Unique and True Faith, and, if they do not convert, then we shall declare Holy War upon them, as we have did many times with the arabs and livonians".
 * Yes, unfortunatly that wording was before we knew that we could not be that liberal.
