Despatches from the Curia

It goes on to state what bills have passed and failed, but the biggest one of note is of course the Consilium Belli, a bill which is essentially a semi-permanent advisory body to hex, it now has its own subforum, which may be found here. Other news of note is of course, the Vote of No Confidence in the Curator of the Curia, tBP, which eventually failed. Ozymandias, speaker of the house, was also re-elected.
