Constitution of the Sovereign Duchy of Borgonnia.(Excerpt)
United under God, trembling before His Divine Awe, free among the nations of Earth, the nations under His Grace Leugim of Borgonnia, Duke of Borgonnia by the Grace of God and the will of the people, assembled in the House of Nations, propose the Borgonnian people this law to rule all law and men. Let it be known, inside or beyond the borders that no soul, Soul, Institution or Law, under the Sovereignity of Borgonna is exempt from its duties, nor deprived from its benefits. Let it be known, inside or beyond the borders that no Borgonnan Institution, even the House of Nations, the House of Commons, the Duke, the Supreme Court, either alone or in concert can not ever, by any pretext declare or wage war against any nation, either Christian or Heathen, Civilized or Savage unless such foreign power has committed a grave act of aggression against Borgonnia, its nations, its people or its allies. Let it be known to any such fool and senseless invader that we will defend our land, our blood and our forefather's states to the last breath of our souls.
