Emperor Onder Signs Constitution XII
After a review of past legislation by the Imperial Senate, several senators began to support the drafting of a new constitution for the realm. In close cooperation with the Monarchy, the issue quickly took precedence over the other bills on the floor, causing a surge of activity in the legislature. After receiving the approval of the Senate, Constitution XII was delivered to the Throne Room of Hedingham Palace, where it received royal assent by His Supreme Majesty.
Constitution XII establishes a fully-elected unicameral legislature, vesting the power of the Estates General into the Imperial Senate. His Supreme Majesty noted in a statement after the signing of the document that, "The abolition of the appointed seats of the Imperial Senate means that there is no direct role for the nobility in legislating, which is almost unprecedented within our regional history."
The new Constitution also revises the selection for Prime Minister and the composition of the Guardian Council. In the new system, the leaders of political parties are now considered official candidates for prime minister during general elections. The Guardian Council, the body that offers advice to the Monarchy on matters of state, is now solely composed of Peers of the Realm who are selected to serve as Guardian Counsellors. The most notable change to the council is its new responsibility for managing the accession of the Imperial Crown. The Lord High Steward Wilhelm Somerset was appointed by the Emperor to serve as Moderator of the Guardian Council.

Imperial Command Reforms
Following the recent round of reforms, General Theoden Sebastian announced changes to the command structure of the Imperial Army. In the General's announcement, two additional seats were created within the Imperial Command, the Commander of the Field Army and the Commander of the Habsburg Infantry Division. Lieutenant General Akillian Talleyrand was selected as the first Commander of the Field Army, deputy to the Chief of the Imperial General Staff. Major General Linkin Talleyrand was promoted to Quartermaster-General (filling the deputy CIGS former post), and Major General Valfor Talleyrand was promoted to Commander of the Habsburg Infantry Division. The incumbent Adjutant-General, Lieutenant General Cornelius Talleyrand, continues to serve in this post.
The new composition of the Imperial Command follows the recent set of initiatives issued under General Sebastian. Like the changes to the ranking and structure of the Imperial Army, the expansion of the command creates a stronger council of general officers to contribute in the advancement of the force. These senior officers will assist in administrative and operational military matters, and aid in the organization of the Imperial Army.
- Constitution XII reintroduces the position of Puisne Judge of the High Court. Appointed by the Lord Chancellor, the judges may now preside over cases of first instance and assist in the daily affairs of the judiciary.
- An amendment to the Hall of Honours Act was passed, allowing new inductees to enter the hall. Nominees may now receive the proper approval of the Imperial Senate, where the Emperor may then grant the induction. Past inductees include the Emperor, Crown Prince and former Prime Minister Valfor Talleyrand.
