His Orthodox Imperial & Royal Majesty Emmanuel I & II, Basileus and Autokrator of the Romans, has appointed Georgios Akropolites as Megas Mesazon of the Basileía of the Romans. The appointment was made by Imperial Decree ΒΔ11/7535-22-ΟΚΤ, On the appointment of Georgios Akropolites as Megas Mesazon, given at Nea Assoukovia (Novo Ashukovo) on 22 October and published in the Imperial Gazette the same day.
The new Megas Mesazon's birth name has not been disclosed. In Rhōmanía he is known as Georgios Akropolites.
The decree
ΒΔ11 was issued alongside ΒΔ10, which, as reported yesterday by The Imperial Tribune, adopted the consolidated Fundamental Laws. Its preamble states that the office was required “for the countersignature of Decree No. ΒΔ10/7535-22-ΟΚΤ and for the conduct of the Government” under the new Fundamental Laws.
Under Article I, the appointment takes effect from 22 October and “from before his countersignature” of ΒΔ10. Article II defines the Megas Mesazon as “the head of government”, who advises the Basileús, reports to him on the conduct of the Government, and directs and coordinates the Logothetes. Article III confirms and ratifies the countersignature he gave to ΒΔ10 as the one the Fundamental Laws require. Article IV provides that he continues in office under the Fundamental Laws now in force without further appointment. Article V orders the decree's publication with ΒΔ10 and its entry in the register of laws and Imperial Decrees.
The office under the Fundamental Laws
The Fundamental Laws, in force since their publication in the Gazette on 22 October, leave the appointment and dismissal of the Megas Mesazon to the absolute discretion of the Basileús. The Megas Mesazon presides over the Council of Logothetes, the Cabinet of the Basileía. He nominates the Logothetes, whose appointment requires the prior approval of the Boule of the Demos. The designations and departments of the Logothetes are to be fixed by law or by Imperial Decree on his advice.
He, or the competent Logothete, countersigns every law, Imperial Decree and Imperial Ordinance and assumes responsibility for it. He is responsible to the Basileús and accountable to the Boule of the Demos. The Imperial Chancery, which publishes the Imperial Gazette and keeps the archives, seals and official websites of the Basileía, forms part of his Office.
The Gazette has also published the full texts of Decrees ΒΔ1 to ΒΔ6, issued between January and March 2021, under their original titles and dates. The Fundamental Laws require every earlier decree whose full text has not been published to appear in the Gazette within 180 days.
The historical mesazon
The mesazon, literally “the one in the middle”, emerged in the twelfth century under the Komnenian emperors as the official standing between the emperor and the administration. Under the Palaiologoi he became, in practice, the emperor's chief minister. Nikephoros Choumnos and Theodore Metochites served Andronikos II in that capacity, and Demetrios Kydones served John VI Kantakouzenos and John V.

The Basileía of the Romans now has a single, consolidated text of its Fundamental Laws. His Orthodox Imperial & Royal Majesty Emmanuel I & II, Basileus and Autokrator of the Romans, adopted the text on 22 October by Imperial Decree ΒΔ10/7535-22-ΟΚΤ, On the adoption of the Fundamental Laws of the Basileía of the Romans. The decree was given at Nea Assoukovia (Novo Ashukovo) and published in the Imperial Gazette the same day.
The decree is brief. It cites “the need for a single, consolidated and authentic text of the Fundamental Laws of the Basileía”. It adopts the annexed text in six Books and provides that the Fundamental Laws “enter into force upon that publication” in the Gazette. The decree is countersigned by Georgios Akropolites as Megas Mesazon, who was appointed by a separate decree, ΒΔ11, issued the same day.
What it replaces
Under the decree, every prior text of the Fundamental Laws is replaced. These texts are to be “preserved in the official archives and the register and marked as superseded, not deleted”.
The text previously displayed on rhomania.cc has accordingly been moved to an archive page, together with an earlier version embedded in the site. Both are marked as having no legal force. The consolidated text is published at rhomania.cc/p/fundamental-laws.html.
Earlier Imperial Decrees, including ΒΔ1 to ΒΔ9, remain in force insofar as they are consistent with the new text. Any decree whose full text has not been published must be published in the Gazette within 180 days or it ceases to have effect. Persons holding office under the prior texts continue in office until replaced.
The Basileús
Book I keeps the Declaration of Independence of 19 May 2012. Book II restates the name of the State, the demonym Roman, and the form of government: “an elective constitutional monarchy, led by the Basileús and Autokrátōr”. The Throne is at Constantinople, the Throne of the Helladic Themes at New Constantinople, and the seat of government at Hagiopolis. Book II also fixes the flag, the arms of State, the Akathist to the Theotokos as national anthem, and Greek, English and Szredian as official languages.
Book III, the Basilikos, describes the Basileús as “sacred and inviolable”. He is elected by public ballot for a five-year term and may be re-elected. Except where the text gives him absolute discretion, he acts on the advice of the Council of Logothetes. Discretionary matters include appointing and dismissing the Megas Mesazon, selecting a Basileús Sebastokrátōr, and the affairs of the Imperial House. The Basileús may be impeached by a two-thirds vote in each chamber.
Megas Mesazon, Logothetes and Chancery
The text creates the office of Megas Mesazon, “who is the head of government”. He advises the Basileús, reports to him on the conduct of the Government, and directs and coordinates the Logothetes, the ministers of the Basileía. Together they form the Council of Logothetes, the Cabinet.
Logothetes are appointed on the Megas Mesazon's nomination, with the prior approval of the Boule of the Demos. Every law, Imperial Decree and Imperial Ordinance must be countersigned by the Megas Mesazon or the competent Logothete, except acts done in the Basileús's absolute discretion.
The Antibasileús, previously head of government, becomes a ceremonial title only. A Regent bears it during an extended Regency, and it confers no power. References in existing law to the Antibasileús as head of government are to be read as references to the Megas Mesazon.
The Imperial Chancery is placed within the Office of the Megas Mesazon. It authenticates and publishes instruments, keeps a public register of laws and decrees, and has custody of the archives, seals and official websites. The Imperial Gazette is named “the sole official journal of record of the Basileía”.
The text also states that The Imperial Tribune is a news-reporting newspaper with no official function. Its reporting of any instrument “confers no authority and has no legal effect”.
Parliament, courts and transition
Book IV establishes two chambers. The Gerousia is the upper house, whose members the Basileús appoints from among the Dukes; it cannot be dissolved. The Boule of the Demos is the lower house, elected by the citizens. Only Roman citizens may sit in the Gerousia. The text contains no separate chapter on citizenship or rights.
Book V vests judicial power in the courts. The Court of the General Judges of the Romans serves as final court of appeal and rules on the interpretation of the Fundamental Laws.
Amendments will require two-thirds of the total membership of each chamber. Under the transitional provisions, the Gerousia is to be appointed within ninety days and the first elections to the Boule held within twelve months. Until then, the Basileús may legislate by decree only as far as needed to constitute the chambers and maintain the ordinary administration, and no amendment may be made. The English text is authoritative until a Greek text is promulgated.

The Imperial Government has announced emergency public health measures following a confirmed case of Coxsackie virus infection in a citizen of the Basileía of the Romans, ordering a strict quarantine in Novo Ashukovo and preventive restrictions in New Constantinople.
The measures, promulgated under Imperial Decree ΒΔ9/7535-10-ΟΚΤ by His Imperial Majesty Emmanuel, Basileus and Autokrator of the Romans, are intended to contain the potential spread of the virus and protect the health and safety of the Roman people.
Novo Ashukovo placed under strict quarantine
Under the decree, Novo Ashukovo shall be subject to immediate strict quarantine. Unnecessary entry into and departure from the settlement will be prohibited, with the restrictions remaining in force until the competent authorities determine that the public health risk has sufficiently subsided, currently estimated for the 22nd of October.
Imperial authorities are expected to coordinate enforcement with the relevant health officials, ensuring that the quarantine is observed while the situation is assessed.
Preventive measures introduced in New Constantinople
New Constantinople, the seat of government of the Helladic Themes, will meanwhile enter a state of preventive quarantine. Citizens are urged to avoid unnecessary travel and contact, while public gatherings and non-essential movement are to be restricted as part of the preventive response. An Imperial visit to N. Constantinople is scheduled for tomorrow, to address further measures.
The authorities have emphasized the importance of hygiene, vigilance, and responsible civic conduct in limiting the possibility of further transmission.
The Empire calls for calm and discipline
The Imperial Government has called upon all citizens to comply with the newly enacted measures, stressing that the protection of public health requires cooperation between the authorities and the population. The Government has also confirmed that H.O.I.R.M. Emmanuel I & II is unaffected and in good health.
Coxsackie is a contagious enterovirus (Group A and Group B) belonging to the picornavirus family. Althugh most frequent in children under 10 years old (especially in daycares and schools), adults can also catch it
Although the restrictions are significant, their stated purpose is preventive: to contain the risk before further infections occur. Their duration will depend on subsequent assessments by the competent authorities, with any lifting of restrictions to be formally announced.
The Imperial decree concludes with an appeal to civic duty and solidarity, reaffirming the state's responsibility to safeguard its citizens and preserve public order during the present situation.
The Imperial Tribune will continue to report on further official announcements concerning the quarantine measures.

Noting conflict, the Imperial Household announces new arms

DATELINE: Novo Ashukovo, Rhomania (RNA)
According to the decree, the new blazon of the House of Afentoulis, Imperial Family of Rhōmanía, is Argent, a double-headed eagle displayed Azure, within a bordure compony of Azure and Argent. This replaces the borderless version the house had used since 2017.
The change follows an apparent conflict of arms with the extinct Swiss family of von Schlatt (also recorded as Slat). Their arms appear in the Zürich armorial, a roll compiled around 1340, as Argent, a double-headed eagle displayed Azure—the same field and charge House Afentoulis adopted in 2017. Those arms are still used by the municipality of Schlatt bei Winterthur in the district of Winterthur, canton of Zürich, presumably derived from the family.

This is not the first change of arms for the house, though the decree presents it as the last. As Imperial Family of the Tsardom of Ashukovo from 2014 to 2017, House Afentoulis used Argent, a pile Azure charged with a lozenge Argent—a white shield with a stylized “A.”

After Ashukovo was restructured into the Second Federal Republic, the family turned to internal affairs in Mouzilo and later Rhōmanía. New arms were then adopted to reflect family origins in Asia Minor and its seat in Greece. A double-headed eagle replaced the stylized “A.” Those arms remained in use for nine years, until today’s update.

Souces close to the Household said the revised achievement takes effect immediately on seals, standards, and official stationery. Existing flags and other renderings may remain in use until they are replaced in the ordinary course of wear. Court sources described the bordure as a conservative difference rather than a new identity, intended to preserve the eagle that has marked the family since 2017 while placing the arms beyond reasonable challenge in any future roll or comparison. Likewise, the Imperial Coat of Arms, until now bearing the borderless inescutcheon, is expected to be modified. No further alteration of the Imperial arms is contemplated.

NOVO ASHUKOVO, Rhōmanía
The Basileía of the Romans has today officially launched its brand new website. As reported in March, Rhomania had been in development of a new website, following multiple, and unfortunately successful, cyberattacks against digital infrastructure of the State over the course of two years.
The new site, currently in Beta version, is now live at www.rhomania.cc. According to the Throne, the project was not a matter of appearance but of sovereignty: previous government and news pages had depended on third-party hosts, and those arrangements proved vulnerable. A third party is stated to have attempted to gain access to and damage official sites. The answer chosen by the State was to purchase a domain of its own and to self-host the public face of the Basileia.
That work was carried out quietly. An Imperial Communiqué issued on 1 September 2026, the Roman New Year, recorded that reduced online activity since 2022–2023 was a deliberate isolationist policy, not neglect. The same text named the new website as one concrete result of that period: archives, the gazette, and official communication would no longer rest on “the courtesy of strangers.”
The new website will host the Imperial Gazette, recording public announcements, legislation, decrees and other official business. Visitors will also have access to the Fundamental Laws, general information about the state, and a Citizens-only section dubbed myRhōmanía for all matters relevant to the Subjects of the Throne.
Visitors to the new site are invited to treat it as the authoritative public channel of the State, and excercise patience as sections of the website are still under construction. As always, The Imperial Tribune remains the premier news reporting outlet of the State.
No Treaty, No Rupture: Hagiopolis Answers Græcia

HAGIOPOLIS, Rhōmanía (RNA)
The Office of the Megas Logothetes has taken note of a hostile-worded 3 September statement published by the Anactoria of Græcia (note: The original article has since been removed by the Government of Græcia) announcing an “official confirmation of the termination” of so-called Græco–Rhōmæan diplomatic relations, brought to its attention by an ally. According to sources close to the government, the notice has been received as a public flourish around a legal vacuum: no bilateral treaty of recognition or exchange of instruments ever placed those relations on paper, and diplomatic relations, as the Basileia understands them, require paper and not posts on X.
The same clarification, officials said, applies not only to Græcia but to Pangration. In both cases, the only standing link recorded by Rhōmanía as a formal listing was membership in the Based Commonwealth, a loose political union founded on 11 January 2021 and disestablished on 17 February 2023. The previous version of the MicroWiki article on the foreign relations of Rhōmanía, mentioned in the Graecian publication, stated that point in unambiguous terms: relations with Græcia and with Pangration existed “by virtue of membership in the Based Commonwealth.” When that organisation ceased to exist, the derivative relationship ceased with it.
According to the Office of the Megas Logothetes, the recent edit on that MicroWiki page is not a new political act. Official relations with both parties ended on 17 February 2023. The article had simply been left outdated. The current table now records both ties as terminated on that date, bringing the encyclopaedia into line with a fact already settled in Roman practice. Government sources also added that it appeared quite interesting that such a minute editing detail, of no present significance, was noticed.
Relations with the other Based Commonwealth member Zenia, sources added, were likewise ended on the same day the Based Commonwealth dissolved. That fact is not stated in the foreign-relations article because the Government of National Salvation set up in Zenia became an affiliate of the Basileia of the Romans. Affiliation replaced the old external file. It did not keep a vanished Commonwealth seat alive under another heading.
Whatever else existed after that date with Græcia and Pangration, sources said, was not a pair of bilateral treaties. Other contacts ran by virtue of common membership in the League of Hellenistic Micronations, until Rhōmanía withdrew as a full member, and by close informal relations in general. The reason Græcia and Pangration were named explicitly in the foreign-relations article, while other League partners were not, was the particular weight of the Based Commonwealth for the Basileia: closer ties, frequent real-life synods, and geographic proximity. Rhōmanía’s closest border with Pangration lies some two hundred metres away. That combination, officials said, explained the listing. It did not convert bloc membership into deposited acts.
That membership, the Logothesion said, is illegitimate. The true government of Zenia, as accepted at the time by most members of the League of Hellenistic Micronations, is the Government of National Salvation, which still stands and is an affiliate of the Basileia of the Romans. The name-only Stoa that still occupies the League’s roster has no such pedigree. “A seat reserved for Zenia is not a seat reserved for whoever holds the letterhead,” a source close to the government said. Hagiopolis expects the League to act accordingly, in particular since most members once accepted the legitimacy of the Government of National Salvation, and to reassess both its stance and the continued membership of Zenia-on-strings.)
Græcia’s newspaper presents a longer chronology of its own dispute with Rhōmanía. It dates an original link to 20 August 2020, cites admission to the League of Hellenistic Micronations, and argues that Nea Mikrasia continued to regard bilateral relations as standing through years of Rhōmanía’s reduced public presence, until what it calls a “silent unilateral dissolution” this past February, linking an article about an unrelated and irrelevant to Rhōmanía event. Sources in Hagiopolis described this as indirect blame for "completely unrelated incidents that have already been addressed and are not the business of the Basileia’s foreign service, and as an attempt to write a rupture into a file that, in Roman terms, was already empty". The Anactorial Office of Foreign Affairs further states that it will accept the narrower span now listed on MicroWiki — 11 January 2021 to 17 February 2023 — and treat that interval as the life of the relationship.
According to the Logothesion, that concession still does not turn an organisational affiliation into a treaty. The Based Commonwealth produced the Treaty of Zenia among its members; it did not substitute for separate instruments between the Basileia and either Græcia or Pangration. “Recognition by tweet and fellowship in a bloc are not the same as deposited acts,” a source close to the government said. “When the bloc ended, there was nothing left to denounce.”
Officials also objected to the framing that surrounds the announcement. Græcia’s text links the diplomatic question to the removal of the title of Doux Domestikos of the Theme of the Roman Islands, to the fate of a personal coat of arms, and to the status of the appellation «Κοΐντος Βιτάλιος» and citizenship certificate № NTAA000001. It further salutes what it calls Rhōmanía’s “isolationist policies".
The isolationist line itself, they added, should surprise no one. It was restated in 2020, again in 2022, and again in 2023 — as well as this past Tuesday. Publicly available documents of that period listed Rhōmanía as open to diplomatic relations, but under strict criteria. The most significant of those criteria were that the other party must possess a set, defined territory it wholly controls — in macronational terms, privately owned property — and that it must be free of fantastical or unrealistic claims. Members of both the League of Hellenistic Micronations and the Based Commonwealth, though not all of them, failed one or the other test. In the case of the Commonwealth, that shortcoming is cited as the reason no formal treaty of diplomatic relations was signed with Græcia or with Pangration, at least at the time.
A brief public illustration of the second criterion remains on the record. Rhōmanía investigated the alleged death of the King of Pangration. The episode was shown to be false and fantastical, and therefore not in keeping with the Basileia’s standards of diplomacy. Officials did not labour the comparison, but the same standard is what they now apply to Zenia-on-strings: a government that exists chiefly on paper, and moves when pulled, is not a counterpart for treaty.
The Imperial Communiqué of 1 September, published by The Imperial Tribune, had already set out the Throne’s position on continuity, isolation as chosen policy rather than vacancy, and the termination of titles, dignities, offices and honours held by persons who are not Rhomaean. That measure, officials repeated, formed part of a period of governmental restructuring. All offices held by citizens of non-Rhomaean origin were removed. Among those affected was Alexianos Ephranorites.
The Communiqué did not revoke citizenship. Government sources said the distinction is deliberate. Where citizens of non-Rhomaean origin have since taken unilateral decisions concerning their own standing, those decisions are regarded as valid and are accepted. Græcia’s declaration that a particular appellation “shall not be used henceforth” falls, in that reading, on the side of personal and external choice rather than of an act the Basileia was required to contest.
What remains, according to the Logothesion, is a matter of record rather than of sentiment. Græcia may announce the end of a relationship it long treated as living. Rhōmanía’s position is that the relationship, insofar as it was ever formal, lived and died with the Based Commonwealth; that Pangration stands in the same legal light; that relations with Zenia ended de facto on the same day and were succeeded, not preserved, by affiliation with the Government of National Salvation; that a recent wiki correction merely recorded an old fact; that a League seat still occupied by Zenia-on-strings is a separate irregularity awaiting correction; and that a unilateral suspension of affairs which were not embodied in treaties is a description of theatre, not of diplomacy.
The Imperial Government wishes Græcia and success in all future endeavours and good health.
The Basileia remains open to diplomacy with those willing to treat and able to meet the criteria already published: defined territory under actual control, and no fantastical or unrealistic claims.
