The Evermore Constitution is a document written largely by Marina Yao, in consort with Ammon Bandele, the Mayor of Astrid. The document builds upon a previously drafted constitution that was being written by Mayor Bandele alongside several other Evermore Mayors. The goal of the document is to craft a government that can unify the disparate tribes and cities present in Evermore. The Evermore Constitution uses Princess Mallory Evermore as a prominent national symbol in an attempt to provide cohesion and national unity to a Unified Evermore Government.

The document is broken up into six sections: a Preamble and five Articles. The Preamble establishes the reasons for Union, and the justification of a Nationalized Government. Article 1 establishes a tricameral legislature. Article 2 establishes a Supreme Court. Article 3 details the practices for impeaching government officials. Article 4 establishes two National Languages. Article 5 acts as a declaration of rights.

CUBEO NEWS:: - The Cubeo Herald

In a shocking turn of events yesterday, an investigative reporter deployed in the Great Valley of Evermore reported a military alliance between the city-states of Cortez and Astrid. These two independent factions have been hostile toward one another for generations but now their people have joined in public celebration over the sharing of resources for mutual gain.

"An alliance between these colonies will likely mean only one thing, political instability for the foreseeable future. Had all of the colonies and their offshoots been conquered by one nation, then perhaps they could have built themselves strong enough in the future to be recognized by the galaxy as a minor faction. Now, it is only a matter of time before they turn on one another." -Dewayne Roberson, Cubeo First Historian

"This alliance could mean a cooperative future for the Evermore locals. The risk of being slaughtered by the Prismatic Imperium has given them purpose and I suspect that this will be rewarding for them in the future. Perhaps more cities are to follow." -Client Richard Oliver, Cubeo Patron's Principles
