Evermore Constitution

The Evermore Constitution is a document written largely by Marina Yao, in consort with Ammon Bandele, the Mayor of Astrid. The document builds upon a previously drafted constitution that was being written by Mayor Bandele alongside several other Evermore Mayors. The goal of the document is to craft a government that can unify the disparate tribes and cities present in Evermore. The Evermore Constitution uses Princess Mallory Evermore as a prominent national symbol in an attempt to provide cohesion and national unity to a Unified Evermore Government.

The document is broken up into six sections: a Preamble and five Articles. The Preamble establishes the reasons for Union, and the justification of a Nationalized Government. Article 1 establishes a tricameral legislature. Article 2 establishes a Supreme Court. Article 3 details the practices for impeaching government officials. Article 4 establishes two National Languages. Article 5 acts as a declaration of rights.

History of the Writing of the Constitution

Marina first learned of the Evermore Constitution in 06/04/3307 in a conversation with Ammon Bandele (Open in Discord Desktop App / Browser ). In that conversation, Ammon indicated that his version of the constitution was nearly ready to publish, and would be rolled out within a few weeks.

After a conversation with Marina, Ammon agrees to allow Marina to re-write the constitution. They communicate back and forth about the structure of the constitution for several months, and on 10/08/3307 Marina sent the first completed draft of the constitution to Ammon.

CUBEO NEWS - The Cubeo Herald

In a shocking turn of events yesterday, an investigative reporter deployed in the Great Valley of Evermore reported a military alliance between the city-states of Cortez and Astrid. These two independent factions have been hostile toward one another for generations but now their people have joined in public celebration over the sharing of resources for mutual gain.

"An alliance between these colonies will likely mean only one thing, political instability for the foreseeable future. Had all of the colonies and their offshoots been conquered by one nation, then perhaps they could have built themselves strong enough in the future to be recognized by the galaxy as a minor faction. Now, it is only a matter of time before they turn on one another."

-Dewayne Roberson, Cubeo First Historian

"This alliance could mean a cooperative future for the Evermore locals. The risk of being slaughtered by the Prismatic Imperium has given them purpose and I suspect that this will be rewarding for them in the future. Perhaps more cities are to follow."

-Client Richard Oliver, Cubeo Patron's Principles

11/04/3308 - Catakii joins in the military alliance with Cortez and Astrid, and the Evermore Constitution is adopted by the cities. This news is reported in the Cubeo Herald.

CUBEO NEWS - The Cubeo Herald

A continuation of the surprising alliance between Cortez and Astrid came in this morning from an investigative reporter. The tribal island of Catakii has joined the military alliance, uniting the northern region of The Great Valley of Evermore together. There are negotiations underway for a United Evermore Nation that includes the territories of Cortez, Astrid, and Catakii.

"This alliance ensures that the new nation has ample supply of military assets. Each member of the union brings forth their own specialty. Cortez has a functional starport and the infrastructure to support the acquisition and maintenance of ship squadrons. Astrid recently reclaimed a high volume factory and has been mass producing armored vehicles. Catakii has the largest volume of organized infantry. Now the question we should be asking is, who will they be attacking with this new military force?"

-Senator Miquel Stevenson, Prismatic Imperium

"I didn't even notice Evermore had people capable of organizing a military force. Who knew they were hiding modern weapons and armor inside their mud huts and bone sleds."

-Vice President Blake Mendez, Cubeo Silver Advanced Industries

"This news is hilarious. The tribal cities are doing this in response to the claim of King Delray. They actually intend to throw stones at the Majestic Armor of the Emperor."

-Vice President Etta Moon, Cubeo Purple Deeds LTD

11/06/3307 - The Kultirr join the Evermore Union. This news is reported in the Cubeo Herald.

CUBEO NEWS - The Cubeo Herald

Breaking news has come from an investigative reporter in The Great Valley of Evermore. The independent city-state of Kultirr has joined Cortez, Astrid, and Catakii in a military alliance for the preservation of their society. A representative of the Kultirr has made a public statement to the Prismatic Imperium.

"The Kultirr has managed our land for generations. We still farm the game that we established as a colony. We still bring forth our own water from deep underground to feed our thirsty land using the technology our ancestors established. We still trade our antiquities with our imperial neighbors, just as we did since our establishment. We will not be walked over by a king in Achenar because of forgotten lore. The Kultirr will continue as it always has."

-Mak'ai Vera Orlov, Kultirr

"The Kultirr has always managed the wilds south of me. I consider them as a friend. It is upsetting that they would join against my enemies in the north, but we both know that when King Delray deploys his legions on our soil we will have bigger problems. Weak alliances will break when tested and stronger alliances will be forged against common foes."

-Duke Earl Hart, Prismatic Imperium
