The Audit and Inventory of Assets and Funds Mandated by the Most Reverend Prince-Primate

In light of a decision deferred to a later date by the Most Reverend Prince-Primate of the Polish-Ukrainian Crown and Lithuania-Belarus, and the funds arranged by The President Stanisław August Poniatowski with the consent of The Union's Houses of Congress, we hereby commission the full audit and meticulous inventory of assets and funds to the Treasury Commission of Poland-Ukraine. This is to also include an account of all tithes remaining in the Union's territory pursuant to the Vienna Convention.

Order to the Presiding Marshals of the General Confederation of the Two Nations

Looking to get an accurate picture of the state of the properties, amounts, and funds remaining in Poland after the clergy fell under the Russian cordon, I’m instructing the presiding marshals of the general confederation of both nations to prompt the Treasury Commission of Lithuania-Belarus to inspect those properties. The goal is to inform the Houses of Congress about all the funds, a task that should be completed within three months from the date of the instruction.

Ensuring the Mortgage of The Union's Debts

In a recent session, our guys over at Congress, including the President and the Houses, have got some financial dealings sorted out. Turns out The Union borrowed a hefty sum from Genoa — we're talking 10 million Polish złotys. The lenders, savvy as they are, wanted a full-on mortgage guarantee on all state income until they're paid back. After some Parliamentary back-and-forth, it's been agreed. All income from both nations — I mean, Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus — is going to back this loan up. You know those taxes everyone loves to hate, the hearth and excise ones? Well, they aren't going anywhere until the debt's squared. And just so everyone’s clear, this doesn’t stop any future tweaks to make these taxes fairer. The Houses are also hooking up the necessary ratifications for the Speaker to seal the deal. Lithuania-Belarus alone took a separate 3 million złoty loan, and that's also secured against their incomes. So, big financial promises are being made to keep our lenders happy.

Establishing the Previously Expressed Sums

In a move to fund our nation's military, today's session of Congress mandated that all states, counties, and cities submit records and proofs of any debts owed to monastic orders or convent priests to The Treasury Commission, under threat of hefty fines. Citizens failing to disclose such debts within six months are liable for double payment to the state's treasury, with a quarter of that going to the whistleblower. From June 24, 1789, overdue interest is settled at five percent per annum, with proceeds to be used for military salaries. However, if other citizens offer a higher interest rate, capped at seven percent, with equivalent security and property verification, the Treasury Commission may accept these offers, giving preference to the original debt holder. Investors offering higher interest rates are encouraged to disclose and secure such investments with the Treasury Commission. Citizens wishing to deposit funds directly into The Union's treasury must give the commission six months' notice to ensure profitable reinvestment within the community.
