Constitution of the Victorian Independent State

The Constitution of the Victorian Independent State was the governing document for the Victorian Independent State. Written by Colonel Karl Afeld and the twenty five members of the VIS Parliament with heavy input from various groups across the Independent State, it was finally ratified in late. The document, while it allowed for the central government to have a respectable amount of authority, checked such power by the lack of power the government had to enforce its various laws, with a limit of 4,000 men on the Victorian Independent Military and allowing local governments to band together to declare laws null and void if a majority of settlements agreed with the sentiment. These restrictions, while they allowed for a great deal of individual autonomy on the part of the settlements, made it very difficult for the Independent State to wage more than a series of precision raids on pro- insurgents until Operation: TRIUMPH, when local militia units had been completely overrun.
