Missive from Wechi

The Missive from Wechi was presented at the 2015 Baronial Council in response to Baron Huinesoron's proposal of the founding of a new nation. Its text is as follows:

We, the People of Wechi, suggest that the Baronial Council of the Union of Plort should decide as follows:
 * considering that the core of "The Eastern Dilemma", rather than being the absence of effective government, is the presence of ineffective government
 * remembering that the Commonwealth of Wechi and the Republic of Iric are what they are, not because the Baronial Council of the Union of Plort decided that this is the best for Plort, but because the people of Wechi and Iric like to have it that way
 * being aware that military rule and civil government should be kept separated
 * firmly believing that the good people living in eastern Borrd and in western Iric know best what should be done to make these lands prosper
 * trusting in the ability of aforementioned people to do what needs to be done on their own unless they are obligated to wait for governmental orders that never arrive
 * because the Ops and Dars of Iric are too occupied with the flourishing communities in eastern Iric to even think about their sparsely populated Far West
 * and the Barons active in the Council of Borrd, lacking the wisdom of the mostly absent Barons residing in eastern Borrd, do not actually know what is best for Borrd’s Far East
 * 1) A fifth nation shall be created in the Union of Plort
 * 2) This nation shall be named "The Riding of Sittorese"
 * 3) The Baronial Council shall define the exact boarders of The Riding of Sittorese, approximately between the Larninkurv Mountains and the river Sozeri, in such a way that the actual power held by the Ops and Dars of Iric and by the Council of Borrd over the lands they can reasonably be expected to reign in their current state are not diminished (much).
 * 4) The Baronial Council may set general limits for The Riding of Sittorese’ civil government, such as
 * 5) this government shall be committed to the cause against the Marizu
 * 6) nobody who is not a resident of The Riding of Sittorese shall have a say in its government
 * 7) The Baronial Council shall not try to assign a civil government for The Riding of Sittorese in any shape or form; this decision is to be left to the people of The Riding of Sittorese.

The Missive was signed by Baron Neshomeh, Dame eatpraylove and Hieronymus the hermit, non of the other known inhabitants of Wechi (Baroom and the Book Repairman) objected to it, thus it is the Commonwealth of Wechi's official position on the matter.

The 2015 Baronial Council decided that this is essentially what should be done, but, elaborating on number 4, that "the production and distribution of sufficient grain for the knights of Plort be considered a military matter, without the same applying to other grain grown".
