---

The United Commonwealth, commonly known as Severoszlavia, is at a geographic crossroads. It links the fertile lowland plains of East Craviter and the sea lanes of the Argent Sea and the Auburn Channel to the mountainous highlands of Central Craviter. Now bounded by six nations, the Commonwealth has waxed and waned over the centuries, buffeted by the forces of regional history. In 43 AD, the Argent conquest of Krawiterska began. In 863, Lech the Szlav liberated much of Krawiterska, made governor by Dominar Andronikas I, and when the Argent Imperium ended in 1137, the wiecze, an assembly of landlords and merchants, elected their own dominarz to lead the Middle Countries, the First Commonwealth. The dominarz's were hereditary rulers until the reign of Hadrien I of Maloria, when an elective monarchy was established. This system ended in the Partitions of the Commonwealth (1659-1678), when the Middle Countries became Nordic Kraviter, a collection of possessions held by the United Kingdom of Goyanes and Andrenne in personal union. Its border territories were parceled out to Callise, Essalanea, and Khastenia. Syrixia took over the Middle Countries after the 1st Nordic-Imperial War. In the Wars of the Callisean Republic (1814-1819), the General Wiecze voted to oust Samprati III in 1815, declared the Middle Countries a sister republic of Callise, and marked the beginning of the short-lived Second Commonwealth. After Callise fell to the Nordic Coalition in 1817, the Second Commonwealth negotiated for its surrender.

Even at times of national crisis, however, the cultures of the United Commonwealth remained strong; indeed, it even flourished. Intellectuals, musicians, filmmakers, and writers came from Krawiterski Alemaners, Arrandalis, Calliseans, Essaleneans, and Lechites. Callisean revolutionary ideals were carried by Regent Kazimierz Pułaski, a Lechite, and Speaker Jarl Herman Bohuslæn, an Alemaner-Prydanian; both founding fathers of the modern Commonwealth. They led the national effort behind the Krawiterski Constitution of 1820, a requirement of Krawiterski surrender in the Wars of the Callisean Republic. The name "Krawiterska" was first mentioned in the document. The new Third Commonwealth incorporated ideals of the Callisean Republic, the Supreme Law of Goyanes, and the Santonian Revolution, and created a parliamentary federation ruled by a hereditary monarchy. Princess Astrid Loðbrók of Prydania became its first monarch.

In the 1930s the exploitation of oil and natural gas became the major industry, with the Commonwealth emerging in the 1940s as one of the world’s leading petroleum exporters. Andrenne, Maloria, and Syrixia were the main benefactors of the oil concessions. The Fascist War was particularly damaging. The Third Commonwealth was ended by the Kovenantnoye, a group of fundamental Messianist officers that sought to join the Dominion alliance. They committed the coup that established the Fourth Commonwealth. It imposed forced Szlavification policies on the Krawiterski Gotic population. In both the Commonwealth and Krawiterski-occupied Khastenia, the Laurenist and Zmeyist religions were banned. Khastenian became the sole official language. The use of the Andrensk, Arrandi, and Lechite languages were prohibited. The Alemaner and Callisean languages gained legal protections. With the defeat of the Dominion in 1951, the Third Commonwealth was restored.

Dominarz George's ill-fated plans for political and economic reforms and bribery from Andrenne led to the 1979 coup, sponsored by Maloria, replaced the Third Commonwealth with the Fifth Commonwealth. 14 years of fascist rule under the Solidarist Party followed, though not without strong challenges on the part of Krawiterski workers, who, supported by a dissident Laurenist Church, called the economic failures of the Solidarist system into question. In the late 1980s, beginning in the shipyards of Gdańsk, Krawiterski workers formed a nationwide movement called Konfederacja (Confederation). Despite the arrest of Konfederacja's leadership, its newspapers kept publishing, spreading its values and agenda throughout the country. In May 1993 the Solidarist Party, under the new leadership of Konfederacja leader Prince Włodokus Bolkonsky, announced a general amnesty, regular party elections, and an end to political oppression, planting the seeds of the Commonwealth's return to more democratic practices.

Although the demise of totalitarian rule brought profound political and economic changes, including the beginnings of the formation of a large middle class, for much of the post-totalitarian era the Krawiterskis had to endure a generally weak economy, high inflation, and a complex of social ills that served to lower life expectancy significantly. The Bolkonsky Government was unable to prevent the Interconfessional Wars (1994-2007). Hundreds of Laurenist and Courantist churches were destroyed and the faithful persecuted in both Szlavic and Gotic-dominated states. As a result, 3 million people were displaced. 2 million left for Oklusia. Allegations of collusion with the Andrennian, Malorian, and Syrixian governments plagued each successive government since the post-1993 parliamentary elections in 1995.

Szlavonic bulletin at United Commonwealth referendum, 1993

On November 23, 1992, the Declaration and Treaty on the Formation of the United Commonwealth of Krawiterska was adopted by the Conference of Plenipotentiary Delegations from the Prinsverbund (Gotic) and the Soviet Argentskikh Knyazey (Szlavic) countries of Krawiterska and the Solidarist Kingdom of Tristain. The Declaration and Treaty were confirmed by the 316th General Wiecze on March 6, 1993, and signed by heads of the delegations, including Krawiterski Dominarz Matthew VI, the guarantor of the original Union Treaty of 1979, David von Städtler, the de facto leader of the Gotic countries, and Prince Włodokus Bolkonsky, the de facto leader of the Szlavic countries. The divisive debates in the conference extended reactionary and separatist violence to the individual referenda to approve a new treaty in each Commonwealth States. In the end, they agreed to a confederation of independent countries with a common head of state, foreign policy, and military. However, after the events of the 1994 Krawiterski constitutional crisis, the 1995 Constitution of the United Commonwealth retained almost all of the aspects of the previous centralized federation. Plans to create a new declaration for the New Union Treaty were abandoned and the original declaration from the 1979 Union Treaty was re-adopted.

Given at Cesarkie Miasto, March 17, 1993.

DECLARATION ON THE FORMATION OF THE UNITED SOLIDARIST COMMONWEALTH OF KRAWITERSKA
Prior to the formation of the Solidarist Commonwealth States, the states of the world were split into two camps: the camp of capitalism and the camp of communism.

There, in the camp of capitalism, there is national inequality, colonial slavery, pogroms, and atrocities.

There, in the camp of communism, there is international enmity, chauvinism, oppression, and wars.

Here, in the camp of Solidarism, there is mutual trust and peace, national freedom and equality, peaceful coexistence and fraternal co-operation of the peoples.

The attempts of the capitalist world for decades to resolve the question of nationality by combining the free development of the peoples with the system of exploitation of man by degenerate men and the attempts of the communist world to resolve it by suppressing nationalism and free development with the promotion of internationalism and the system of exploitation of labor by thuggish labor proved fruitless. On the contrary, the tangle of national and international contradictions, whether by pluralism and factionalism, is becoming more and more entangled, threatening the very existence of capitalism and communism. The disunited peasants, workers, capitalists, and nobles proved powerless to establish cooperation among the peoples.

Only in the camp of social feudalist Solidarism, under the conditions of pan-Craviterian nationalism, national republicanism, and national syndicalism, led by the noble estate, which rallied around itself the capitalist, worker, and peasant classes, was it possible to abolish national inequality, national oppression, and post-nationalism at their roots, to create an atmosphere of mutual confidence and to lay the foundations of fraternal co-operation among the peoples. It was only thanks to these circumstances that the Solidarist Commonwealth States were able to repel the imperialists of the capitalist and communist worlds, internal and external. Only thanks to these circumstances did they manage to successfully prevent total war, ensure their existence and begin peaceful economic construction and political reform and the preservation of ancient traditions and Messianist values.

But the years of civil unrest did not pass without a trace. Exhausted economic resources inherited from the brief insurgencies and riots make the individual efforts of individual states for economic construction insufficient.

The very structure of Solidarist power harnesses the irremediable, fruitful, and beneficent inequality of men to push the classes of the Solidarist Commonwealth States to the path of unification into one family, to ensure the success of the Solidarist Revolution.

All these circumstances imperatively demand the unification of the Solidarist Commonwealth States into one commonwealth state, capable of ensuring both external security and internal economic prosperity, and the freedom of the development of the peoples.

We, the Most High, Most Mighty, and Most Excellent Princes of the General Wiecze, on behalf of the peoples of the Solidarist Commonwealth States, have adopted the decision to form a union of Craviterian nations, a reliable guarantee that this Commonwealth is a voluntary association of equal peoples, that the right of free secession from the Commonwealth is guaranteed to each states, that access to the Commonwealth is open to all Solidarist states, both existing and those that will arise in the future, that the new commonwealth state is a worthy crowning of the foundations of peaceful coexistence and fraternal co-operation of the peoples, laid back in February 1979, that it will serve as a true bulwark against capitalist and communist worlds.

Declaring all this before the whole world and solemnly proclaiming the inviolability of the foundations of Solidarist power, which have found expression in the constitutions of the Solidarist Commonwealth States which have authorized us, on the basis of the powers vested in us, decide to sign a treaty on the formation of the "United Solidarist Commonwealth of Krawiterska."

Kraviterianskiy Trikolor, Kraviterískr Tréklidr, Craviterian Tricolor

A horizontally striped white-red-purple tricolor with a red and yellow star. Ratio is 2:3.

Prior to 1815, Krawiterska did not have a national flag. Since Argent rule, it had various flags under the different rulers and dynasties that ruled it, often personal or representative of the dynastic house. The House of Lech, the founding dynasty of the First Commonwealth, had a coat of arms, a black eagle on a red shield. It is called the Orzeł Dominarskiej (Lechite for "Imperial Eagle"). After Sigric of Kippernoch was elected dominarz, they kept the Orzeł Dominarskiej by putting their white dynastic shield on the breast of the eagle. The imperial banners of the 17th and 18th centuries were usually divided into two or three horizontal stripes, often swallow-tailed, of red and white.

In the Wars of the Callisean Republic, the Second Commonwealth was established as a constituent republic of the planned Grand Republic of Craviter. In solidarity, the General Wiecze adopted the Callisean Tricolor but reordered, top to bottom, to white-red-purple instead of red-white-purple. The color "white" represents Messianism, "red" represents the people who died for Krawiterski independence, and "purple" represents the Krawiterski nobility. It is locally referred to as the Craviterian Tricolor. In 1819, two years after the defeat of Jacques Chevalier, Consul Friedrich Wilhelm Brunswick-Augustenburg led the effort to establish a constitutional monarchy to appease the victorious Nordic Coalition. The tricolor fell into disuse due to its association with Chevalier. Either the personal banner of arms of the Krawiterski Dominarz and the Krawiterski Naval Jack were typically used to represent the country in embassies, books, and ships until 1867, when the Craviterian Tricolor was formally re-adopted.


The Craviterian Tricolor in the Third Commonwealth

The tricolor remained the sole national flag, even under the Szlavic supremacist Kovenantnoye Party and when they led the country in the Fascist War. In 1979, the Solidarist Party established the Fourth Commonwealth, a fascist dictatorship that claimed its ideology to be a branch of Social Feudalism with "Krawiterski characteristics." They imposed a re-designed Craviterian Tricolor with their official symbol, a hammer, sword, and sickle in a red five-pointed star on a five-spoked cogwheel. This version served as the national flag of Krawiterska until 1993, when the symbol was reduced to a red star in the tricolor of the current Fifth Commonwealth.

Declassified Report on "Government Structure of the United Commonwealth"
By Generaldirektoratet vrá Uttanundurrættilse
Distributed December 3, 1995


THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UCK
1. The formal basis of the new Krawiterski government structure is the Constitution of the UCK ratified on 1995-06-15, approved by the General Wiecze. It was mandated by the people on 1995-06-3, through individual referendas across all the 15 constituent Commonwealth States of Krawiterska. The ratification date of the constitution became a holiday in the UCK known as the "Day of the Bolkonsky Constitution."

THE GENERAL WIECZE
2. The governing body in the UCK is the General Wiecze. Citizens can participate in elections and vote at the minimum age of 21. It consists of two chambers:
3. Formally, all decisions of the General Wiecze must have the approval of both Chambers. In the event of a disagreement between the two Chambers on the federal budget, the Krawiterski Dominarz or the State Chancellor mediates. If both Chambers still cannot reach an agreement, the Krawiterski Dominarz can dissolve the General Wiecze and call for new elections.
4. The General Wiecze is a legislative organ which forms and controls all higher organs of administration and justice and carries out supervision over adherence to the law.
5. The powers of the General Wiecze are as follows:
6. The Senate, dominated by the Krawiterski aristocracy, has distinct powers separate from the Council of Craviter, to protect ancient feudal privileges that formerly belonged to the whole Wiecze when it only represented the aristocracy. They are as follows:
7. The General Wiecze of the UCK convenes for sessions twice a year at the summons of the Krawiterski Dominarz. Extraordinary sessions may be convened by the Krawiterski Dominarz at his discretion or on the demand of a Commonwealth State. The sessions of both Chambers begin and terminate simultaneously.
8. Each Chamber establishes the conduct of its business. Upon decision of both Chambers, they may hold joint sessions which are presided over by the Lawspeaker of the Senate.
9. Elections of the Council of State and the appointment of the Procurator-General of the UCK take place at a joint session of both Chambers.
10. Each Chamber elects its Lawspeaker and two Deputy Lawspeakers, a Credentials Commission, which verifies the validity of the credentials of the deputies, a committee for drafting bills, the duty of which consists in a preliminary study and preparation of bills; a Budget Committee, and a Foreign Affairs Committee. In addition, each Chamber may also elect temporary editorial commissions for individual bills. The right to initiate legislation belongs to both Chambers in the persons of deputies, to the Committees of both Chambers, and to the Council of State of the UCK.

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UCK – THE COUNCIL OF STATE OF THE UCK
11. The executive and administrative organ of State power in the UCK is the Government of the UCK, the Council of State of the UCK. The Council is appointed by the General Wiecze of the UCK at its first session after elections, which remains in power until a newly elected General Wiecze elects a new Council of State. The Wiecze assigns to one of its deputies who is being considered for the post of State Chancellor, the pro-tempore president of the Council of State, the task of submitting the General Wiecze his suggestions on the composition of the Government. The General Wiecze of the UCK must confirm the appointment of each member of the Government individually, beginning with the State Chancellor. Members of the Government have to be members of the General Wiecze, except the Krawiterski Dominarz, who is the ex-officio chairman of the Council. The Council consists of:
12. The Council of State of the UCK:
13. Attached to the Council of State of the UCK are main administrations, committees, councils, and other central departments.
14. The Ministries of the UCK are divided into all-Commonwealth Ministries, which are entirely within the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth, and Commonwealth State Ministries, which are within the joint jurisdiction of the Commonwealth and of the Commonwealth States. The first group consists chiefly of the Ministries controlling or regulating various branches of industry having a decisive influence on the national economy, while the second group consists of Ministries dealing with problems of general policies and administration.
15. The Council of State of the UCK is accountable to the General Wiecze of the UCK and reports to them. Specifically, the Council of State as a whole or an individual state councilor is obligated to give an answer within three days to the question of a deputy.
16. The decrees and regulations of the Council of State of the UCK are issued in accordance with and in execution of the law, and can be revoked by the Imperial Council of the UCK or by the General Wiecze of the UCK.

THE KRAWITERSKI DOMINARZ
17. The Krawiterski Dominarz is the head of state. They exercise the highest executive power under the Constitution. The Krawiterski Dominarz is endowed with the following powers:

SUPREME ORGANS OF POWER AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH STATES
18. The organs of power and administration of the Commonwealth States are established in absolute conformity with the principles of the establishment of the organs of power in the UCK. Most organs, administrations, and central offices originated from medieval court positions. In the 1830s-1850s, main state and court offices, hierarchies, and competencies were merged and equalized in all Commonwealth States. Most organs have an equivalent body in every Commonwealth.
19. A unicameral legislature, a Wiecze in a Szlavic state and a Landtag in a Gotic state, elected by the entire population of a Commonwealth, is the highest organ of the State power in each Commonwealth State. All the citizens of the UCK, 21 years of age or over, having a right to vote, may be deputies to the legislature of a Commonwealth State. They advise the rulers of the 10 sovereign Commonwealth States of Krawiterska.
21. The legislature of a Commonwealth appoints the Government of the Commonwealth, the Council of Ministers of the Commonwealth, consisting of:
22. The Ministries of the Commonwealth States have fall into two groups:
The Federal-Commonwealth Ministries of Commonwealth States have jurisdiction over the fields entrusted to them, and are subordinate both to the Government of the Commonwealth and to the corresponding Ministry of the UCK. The Commonwealth Ministries of Commonwealth States are subordinate only to the Governments of the Commonwealth States. Despite this division, there are still conflicts of interest due to the retention of the original functions of certain state and court offices that have always been subordinate to the Commonwealth State, the oldest of which originated from medieval times.
23. The central state offices or ministerial positions found in all Commonwealth States are the following:

LOCAL ORGANS OF STATE POWER
24. The organs of state power in the provinces (Szlavic: Thanatswo; Gotic: Burgraviate), counties (Szlavic: Castellany; Gotic: Ritterschaft), cities, burgravates, and villages are the Public Assemblies (Szlavic: Wiecze; Gotic: Ting). Provincial and county Public Assemblies are elected by both resident aristocrats and magnates. Civic and burgravate Public Assemblies are elected by resident magnates and propertied citizens. Village public assemblies are elected by all residents. Often, the chairmen of both province and county public assemblies are appointed or elected as senators by a Commonwealth State. Before 1979, the chairmen of the provincial public assemblies were formerly entitled to a seat in the Senate.
25. The provincial and county Public Assembly hold four sessions a year; the civic and village Public Assemblies hold 12 sessions a year. They elect a chairman and a secretary at each session.
26. The executive and administrative organ of a Public Assembly is the Executive Committee elected by it, commonly consisting of, varying in the Szlavic and Gotic territories:
27. The executive organs of a Public Assembly are subordinate and accountable to the respective Public Assemblies. Various branches of the administration are set up as sections which are subordinate to an Executive Committee of the Public Assembly and to a Public Assembly itself on one hand, and to the sections of the higher Public Assemblies, including the respective Ministries, on the other
28. Correspondingly, Executive Committees of a Public Assembly are subordinate to the respective Public Assemblies on one hand and, on the other hand, to the Executive Committees of the higher Public Assembly, including the Council of State of the UCK or the Council of Ministers of the Commonwealth, the two highest executive and administrative organs in the respective jurisdictions.

THE JUDICIAL ORGANS AND THE PUBLIC PROCURATORS IN THE UCK
29. Formally, all judicial organs of the UCK are either elected by the General Wiecze of the UCK, or the legislature of a Commonwealth State; or appointed by the Council of Ministers of a Commonwealth State.
30. The Supreme Court of the UCK is elected by the General Wiecze of the UCK for a term of five years.
31. The Supreme Court of a Commonwealth State is elected by the respective legislature of a Commonwealth State.
32. The courts of thanatwas, burgraviates, castellanies, ritterschafts, cities, and villages are elected by the respective Public Assemblies for a term of five years.
33. Formally, all the courts of the UCK are independent of any organ of Government and are subordinate only to the law and to higher courts.
34. Supervision to ensure the strict observance of the law in the UCK is carried out by the public prosectors of the villages, cities, counties, provinces, Commonwealth State, and the UCK.
35. The Procurator-General of the UCK is vested with the supreme supervisory power to ensure the strict observance of the law by all Ministries and institutions subordinated to them, as well as by individual officials. It is to be noted that the supervision over the observance of law by the Council of State of the UCK is carried out by the General Wiecze of the UCK. The Procurator-General of the UCK is appointed by the General Wiecze of the UCK for a term of seven years.
36. The Instigator-General of a Commonwealth State is appointed by the Procurator-General of the UCK for a term of five years.
37. The Instigators of provinces, counties, cities, and villages are appointed by the Instigator-General for a term of five years, but such appointments are subject to confirmation by the Procurator-General of the UCK.
38. Formally, the public procurators of the UCK are independent of any organ of government and are subordinate only to the law and to higher offices.

"The Law on the Universal Military Service received imperial assent" | Imperial Library (www.dobib.sz/istoriya/619624)

12 October 1980


Cover of the Voenizdat publication of the 1980 law

ON THIS DAY, 12 October 1980, the "Law on the Universal Military Service" was signed by Prince Regent Matthew (future Mathew VI) due to the absence of Krawiterski Dominarz William V. It declared that "the defense of the Krawiterski Nation is the sacred duty" of every KSH citizen. It accentuates the universality of mass conscription by including, "regardless of origin, social and property status, race and nationality, education, language, religion, occupation, place of residence", all KSH citizens, in the national obligation to do their active military service in the Armed Forces of the KSH.

According to the law, a draft is done twice a year: In March–April (estimated from May 1) and in September–October (estimated from November 1). The registration of the citizens is conducted in the period of January–February. Men subject to this must be at least 18 years of age by the day of the draft but not older than 27.

The terms of service:

• In all land units of all types – 2 years;
• In all land units of all types for soldiers and sergeants with higher education – 1.5 years;
• In naval units, units of coast security and sea units of frontier troops – 3 years; and,
• In naval units for seamen and sergeants major with higher education – 2 years.

Conditions for deferment of military service:

• Due to marital status;
• to continue education; and,
• due to physical disability or poor health – for three years or more, even permanently, based on the severity.

Citizens serving a criminal sentence and those under investigation or on trial for a criminal case are not subject to conscription.

From Grods to National to Universal

In the First Commonwealth, when vassal lords heed the call to arms by the Dominarz or local overlord, they, including other noblemen and their peasants and resident freemen, have to perform military duties for the ruler. The bailiffs, officers who administer and enforce justice in an assigned territory, were ordered by the monarch to gather and assemble local men. The levied men had to pay for their own weapons, armor, and other equipment, and depended on their own skills and training. In 1655, the General Wiecze required the public assemblies of all provinces to organize and maintain a standing army to strengthen the defenses of the Commonwealth. The men of these armies were referred to as the "Powiat Guard." The magnates were able to organize mercenary armies for their own protection. In the villages, in accordance with pre-medieval Lechite traditions of Grod or stronghold, continued to build and maintain new strongholds, made out of dirt and wood, in the most defensive part of the settlement, often on a hill and surrounded by palisades or moats. There, every man could gather to defend themselves and hide their families, livestock, and other valuables and possessions. This has been referred to as an earlier, localized form of mass mobilization.

In 1815, after the Second Commonwealth allied with the Callisean Republic, the General Wiecze assumed control over the Powiat and Grod Guards and placed them under the Krawiterski high command, which combined them and the Army of the Wiecze to form the Army of Central Craviter, one of the five armies of Grand Consul Jacques Chevalier. Grand Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Brunswick was appointed the first Consul of Krawiterska, a sister republic in the envisioned Grand Republic of Craviter. However, he became its last when the Callisean Republic capitulated in 1821. To appease Syrixia and the Nordic Coalition, he successfully campaigned for the creation of a permanently neutral Krawiterska, ruled by a resident monarch who will be chosen from the monarchies of the Nordic Coalition. Friedrich Wilhelm, as the first State Chancellor of the Third Commonwealth, enshrined conscription in the "Mass Levy Act of 1830" to better defend the country against its enemies. The new law, adopted from the Santonian Constitution, laid down in its first article, "Any Krawiterski man is a soldier and owes himself to the defense of the Nation." It was compulsory for men between the ages of 21 and 45. It restored the Grod Guards, modernized to allow citizens to form communal militias, many in the cities and counties. They elected their own leaders. Weapons and training were provided centrally by the small, professional Krawiterski Army. The Mass Conscription Act of 1864, drafted by Predicean military advisers, moved conscripts into national military service. The term of service in the Krawiterski Army was 3 years and it was 4 years in the Imperial Krawiterski Navy. Criminals avoided prison by serving for 8 years in the navy.

The Mass Conscription Act of 1930 expanded conscription to a new minimum age of 16-year-old and included "all Krawiterski citizens, regardless of race, nationality, religion, educational qualification, social origin and situation." This meant women were also conscripted. However, most of them were assigned to non-combat roles. Only a few volunteered to fight in battle. This ended when the Szlavic supremacist Kovenantnoye came to power in 1936. The "Law on the Universal Military Service" of 1937 excluded women, married men between the ages of 21 and 25, and restricted the promotion of non-Courantists, discouraging Gotics from becoming officers, unless they converted to Courantism.

The "Law on the National Military Service" of 1953 was a modernized version of the Mass Conscription Act of 1930. It replaced the Fascist War-era conscription law and excluded the new Imperial Krawiterski Air Force, which is designed to be a highly professional voluntary service. By the 1980s, in spite of numerous amendments, the 1953 law did not take into account the numerous social-economic changes that occurred under the Solidarist Party.

Dynastic lineage

---

In 1827, shortly after the inauguration of Krawiterski Dominarz Elisa II, there was an intense debate over the titles of the Krawiterski imperial family. Because Anna was a Prydanian princess, her title was subject to their unique male-preference system of inheritance. It did not allow female members to inherit and pass on titles, unless the incumbent holder had male heirs. Therefore, her male-line descendants would bear the title "Prince of Prydania." Through her consort, Grand Duke Yuri of Maloria, his male-line descendants would inherit the title "Prince of Maloria" in addition to the Prydanian title.

There was a proposed title, "Prince of Krawiterska", in an upcoming bill, a gift from the General Wiecze to the imperial couple. It was authored by the United Progressive Party, a Pan-Craviterian democrat grouping. The bill failed to pass the first reading, however, when Severoszlav Landowners' Union deputies, a pan-Szlavic aristocratic grouping, pointed out that the title "Prince of Krawiterska" suggested that the Krawiterski throne is based on divine right to hereditary lands, which does not exist because the dominarz reigns over Krawiterska by the will of the General Wiecze. It also might be misinterpreted as a Chevalieresque claim to all of Craviter. Krawiterska is the Lechite translation of the name "Craviter." This especially since Krawiterska supported the Callisean Republic in its failed conquest of the continent.

It was suggested to use titles based in any of the three constituent states directly ruled by the Krawiterski Dominarz: Lechia, Mittelreich, and Tristain. This was initially popular until it divided the deputies from the respective three states. It reached to the point of violence and threatened political gridlock. As a compromise, the General Wiecze rejected any titles geographically associated with Krawiterska or any of its states and authorized the use of both the Malorian and Prydanian titles. All male-line and female-line descendants of Elisa II and Grand Duke Yuri of Maloria bore the title "Prince of Maloria and Prydania."

Because Henry IV married Princess Lavinia of Predice, the current title for children of the Dominarz has become "Prince of Maloria, Predice, and Prydania."

Special dispensation was granted to allow the foreign press to use "Krawiterski Prince" or "Prince of Krawiterska" to avoid misidentification. Since 2024, the Solidarist state media have used this when reporting about the Krawiterski imperial family in an international setting.
