Orders for the Speakers of Congress and the Confederation of Both Nations

In the latest from the halls of Congress, Speakers have been tasked with a financial directive. There’s a mandate for them to issue treasury notes from the coffers of both the Polish-Ukrainian and Lithuanian-Belarusian states. These are to cover the back pay owed to junior staff who previously labored on legal revisions and land registry matters. Nailed down payments will mirror those dispensed during the current session.

Additionally, the instruction compels them to present the President and the guardians of the register with a list of these subordinates, sorted by seniority and length of service. It’s a strategic move: prioritizing these workers for future placements within the secretariats of guardianship and the police commission. It’s all about ensuring allegiance and experience are rewarded—which, frankly, sounds a lot like how political appointments work back home.

Extension of Time for Land Registry Compilation

In today's legislative session, Congress established a new deadline for completing the land registry, a crucial project for The Union's administrative order. Initially set for the end of July this year, the term has been extended to the last day of November, allowing local congresses of states and counties more time to finalize their records. This registry is expected to play a significant role in land management and legislation, and the postponement indicates a commitment to thoroughness over haste in governance. Meanwhile, local representatives and senators are to convene on February 14, 1792, to discuss next steps and further organizational matters.

Recommendation of the Treasury Commission of Lithuania-Belarus

In today's session, Congress issued a recommendation for the Treasury Commission of Lithuania-Belarus to urgently settle overdue pension payments. Christian Wilhelm Fricze, an undersecretary from the Permanent Council, has fronted a considerable sum of 19,724 Polish gold coins out of his pocket. These payments are not only for himself but also for other undersecretaries who have similarly been dipping into their funds to keep things afloat. After a thorough inspection and report by the Lithuanian-Belarussian Treasury delegation, the Treasury Commission is to reimburse these amounts forthwith. Stay tuned, folks—our Representatives are making sure everyone gets their due, even in the complex bureaucracy of the Union's government!

Appointment of a Delegation to Assess the State of Revenue and Expenditures in the Treasuries of Both Nations and to Formulate Proposals for Ensuring Adequate Public Funds

In a significant move for financial oversight, Mister President and the Houses of Congress of The Union have recognized the need to provide for the nation’s treasury, assuring that essential expenditures have a secure source of funds. A selected delegation is tasked with this responsibility, comprising notable figures from the Senate, as well as the Representative Houses from various states and counties of the Union – including noted individuals from West Poland, East Poland-Ukraine, and Lithuania-Belarus.

The assignment for this delegation is to collaborate with the treasury commissioners and the local governing bodies responsible for making expenditures to devise a detailed plan for managing and organizing both permanent and temporary expenses. They will match the scale and order of these outlays with the unavoidable need for funding, preparing projects capable of replenishing the public revenue to meet these necessities.

The assembled work will result in individual proposals for each type of project, which will be submitted to Mister President and the Houses of Congress during the upcoming fiscal week for decision-making. Among these, the project concerning the management of certain state-managed properties will be given priority.

Confirmation of the Conversion from Hereditary to Perpetual Estate in Łopatyn

In today's session, the Congress of The Union of Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus solidified a big win for property rights. The act fully approves and confirms the conversion of four estate farms in Łopatyn, from hereditary ownership to perpetual estate—a fancy way of saying, these properties can be held forever. The shift was polished off by the Treasury Commission of the Lithuanian-Belarusian State, so people in Łopatyn, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief and feel secure about your land staying in the family for generations to come. This is a landmark decision for property holders in the Union, sending a powerful message about the stability and sanctity of private ownership.

Confirmation of the Allocation of 100,000 Polish Gold Coins for the Krasnosielsk Starosty

In today's Congressional session, we locked in a princely sum of 100,000 Polish gold coins to bankroll a lifetime stipend for the descendants of Tadeusz Burzyński, a senator and regional governor from Minsk. This hefty trust fund will be tethered to the Krasnosielsk estate, nestled within the Minsk state. Kudos to Mr. Burzyński for his meritorious acts, especially his commendable diplomacy at the English court – we've got the President’s thumb-up on this one, with a unanimous cheer from both Houses of Congress.

Securing a Sum of 200,000 Polish Goldens in the Bystrzyca Estate

In the latest turn of events in our Congress, a legislation has been adopted to secure the significant sum of 200,000 Polish Goldens on the Bystrzyca Estate. This move aligns with the current assembly's established law concerning the allocation of funds to estates, which notably excludes sums promised by final decrees of courts from under adjudication. It's like setting aside a big chunk of change to make sure a specific estate in our collective Union stays financially protected. This fiscal strategy ensures that such estates, which are essentially like sprawling country properties, remain solvent and financially fortified against legal disputes regarding promised funds. So, it's basically like the government ensuring one of its cool old historical buildings has enough cash to keep it running smooth. A prudent financial move, if you ask me!
