WHEREAS , the Organic Law confers full autonomy upon provinces which have been certified by the Ziu; and
WHEREAS , no Talossan Province has yet been so certified; and
WHEREAS , the Province of Vuode has long had a fully democratic constitutional-monarchical form of government extending back into the 1980's; and
WHEREAS , the Province of Vuode recently completed a democratic election for its own Government which was universally acknowledged to have been free and fair (even by Jimmy Carter--just kidding},
THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby consents to the appeal of the people of Vuode Province to become the first formally "Certified" Province under the 1997 Organic Law, and votes herewith to Certify Vuode Province as a democratic, loyal portion of the Talossan nation.
