His Imperial Majesty, Co-Emperor Otto IV von Welf of the Northern Holy Roman Empire, will introduce three new reforms pertaining to his own realm and not the realm of his co-emperor. First, the Co-Emperor will declare the creation of an Independent body made up of Nobles, Diplomats, Generals, and Admirals called the Beratung, Consultation, to advise the co-emperor on Administrative, Diplomatic, Military, and Naval Affairs within the empire.
Next, the co-Emperor will introduce judicial reforms, with the most important being the declaration of Unschuldig bis zum Beweis der Schuld, innocent until proven of guilt, Prävention von Selbst Kriminalisierung, Prevention of self-criminalization, and the Recht auf ein schnelles und faires Verfahren, Right to a fast and fair trial, allowing for all citizens to be treated equally under the law, no matter of rank.
Finally, the co-emperor will create the Unabhängiges Amt für Korruption Untersuchungen und Abberufung korrupter Beamter, which will investigate and remove any corrupt officials from the administration of the empire and it’s internal realms, allowing for the empire to continue forward, unimpeded by other nations looking to abuse our internal affairs.
As an after-note, the co-Emperor will go on a journey throughout his realm, meeting and discussing with the people, whether they be of the peasantry or nobility, in order to get an accurate feel of how life is within his realm and how he can improve it for his subjects. These trips will happen on a Bi-Annual basis, meaning a trip after every 2 years, until an co-emperor decides whether or not he should not make another trip.
All three reforms can only be repealed by the co-emperor himself unless enough of the nobility petition him to remove one of them, with the exception being the anti-corruption reform, which shall not be untouched in order to allow the empire to be cleaned of all those who abuse it.
