After a long train of abuses and injustices, it becomes the right and responsibility of the bravest among men to rise up and break the chains of tyranny. It is in not only their right, but their honor. But once we have earned our freedom, we must fight to keep it. So accordingly, I have drafted several preventative measures to ensure that we will never have to endure the yoke of tyranny again.

In order to guarantee our basic rights and provide for the safety and well being of all Submarians, I Merrick, King of Submaria, here do ordain and command the complete isolation of Submaria. All outside intercourse and commerce are forbidden. Anyone who infringes on the safety of others by attempting to leave Submaria will be promptly executed.

For the stability and well being of all citizens, I forbid magic from existing in Submaria. It’s power is intangible and it’s limits are fathomless. Therefore any magic is considered an act of rebellion against the state and is forbidden.

For the safety and security of all Submarians, vast sums of treasury funds will be committed towards expanding the military discovering new technology so that any threat of invasion will be in vain.
