Oath of Office

Postby The Commonwealth of Australia » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:57 am

Both the Chairman of the Executive Council and the other members of the Executive Council take the same oath but the President of the Council of Ministers takes a different one. The oath is administered in the presence of the Full Bench of the High Court, as the country has no official language there is no wrong way of taking the oath but so far the oaths have been said in Irish, French, Basque, German, Yiddish, Italian and English

Here is the Executive Oath as spoken in English, French and Basque as these are the most common languages for the oath to be recited in.

English Oath

We the members of the Executive Council do solemnly swear by the powers vested in us by the Constitution of The Most Serene Republic of The Commonwealth of Australia to protect and serve the people of Australia and to uphold its Constitution whose rights and liberties we accept.

So help me God. (this last line is optional)

French oath

Nous, les membres du Conseil exécutif jure solennellement par les pouvoirs dévolus à nous par la Constitution de la République Sérénissime de Le Commonwealth d'Australie à protéger et à servir le peuple de l'Australie et de maintenir sa Constitution dont les droits et libertés que nous acceptons.

Que Dieu m'y aide.

Basque oath

Kontseilu Betearazlearen kide ez handikiro gurekin datza Australia Mankomunitatea Errepublika eta babesteko balio Australia pertsona eta bere Konstituzioak bere eskubide eta askatasunak dugu onartu defendatu behar gehien lasaia Konstituzioak eskumenak zin.

Beraz, laguntza me Jainkoaren.

Called the "Zuiveringseed" (Cleansing Oath), the Herrebrugher Stadtholder, the President of the States-General and the Presidents of the Provincial States have to take the following oaths:

As Stadtholder of the Republic:

"Ik zweer aan de Herrebrughse volkeren dat Ik de Grondwet steeds zal onderhouden en handhaven.
Ik zweer, dat Ik de onafhankelijkheid en het grondgebied van de Staat, met al Mijn vermogen zal verdedigen en bewaren; dat Ik de algemene en bijzondere vrijheid en de rechten van alle Mijne onderdanen zal beschermen, en tot instandhouding en bevordering van de algemene en bijzondere welvaart alle middelen zal aanwenden, welke de wetten te Mijner beschikking stellen, zoals een goed Stadhouder schuldig is te doen.
Zo waarlijk helpe mij God almachtig!"

Translation:

"I swear to the Herrebrugher peoples that I will always maintain the Constitution.
I swear, that I will defend and keep the independence and territory of the State with all My power; that I will protect the general and special freedom and rights of all My subjects, and that, to conserve and improve the general and special wealth, I will employ all means, through the laws at My disposal, like a good Stadtholder is guilty of doing.
So help me God!"

As President of the States-General, or President of one of the Provincial States:

"Ik zweer (verklaar) dat ik, om tot president van de Staten-Generaal/Staten van (Gewest) te worden benoemd, rechtstreeks noch middellijk, onder welke naam of welk voorwendsel ook, enige gift of gunst heb gegeven of beloofd.
Ik zweer (verklaar en beloof) dat ik, om iets in dit ambt te doen of te laten, rechtstreeks noch middellijk enig geschenk of enige belofte heb aangenomen of zal aannemen.
Ik zweer (beloof) trouw aan de Stadhouder, aan de Gewestelijke en Herrebrughse Grondwet.
Ik zweer (beloof) dat ik de plichten die mijn ambt mij oplegt getrouw zal vervullen.
Zo waarlijk helpe mij God almachtig! (Dat verklaar en beloof ik!)"

Translation:

"I swear (declare) that I, in order to be named President of the States-General/States of (Province), directly nor mediately, under whatever name or whatever pretense, have given or promised any gift or favour.
I swear (declare and promise) that I, in order to do or not do in this office, have accepted nor will accept, directly nor mediately, whatever gift or promise.
I swear (promise) loyalty to the Stadtholder, to the Provincial and Herrebrugher Constitution.
I swear (promise) that I will faithfully fulfill the duties bestowed upon me by my office.
So help me God! (This I declare and promise!)"
Uyt naem Zijner Majeſteyt Jozef III, bij de gratie Godts, Koningh der Herrebrugheylanden, Prins van Rheda, Heer van Jozefslandt, enz. enz. enz.
Im Namen Seiner Majeſtät Joſeph III., von Gottes Gnaden König der Herrenbrückinſeln, Prinz von Rheda, Herr von Josephsland etc. etc. etc.

Second Oath of Office

Postby The Commonwealth of Australia » Mon Oct 22, 2012 6:26 am

Here is the President of the Council of Ministers oath of office as taken in the presence of the Full Bench of the High Court and the members of the Executive Council. I shall show it in its most common recital languages.

English Oath

I [insert full legal name] do solemnly swear that I will uphold the Constitution and shall execute the responsibilities designated to me as the President of the Council of Ministers for as long as I maintain the confidence of the House of the People.

So help me God (once again this line is completely optional indeed only 2 out of the 34 PCM's have ever said this line)

Now what is meant by maintaining confidence is that so long as the PCM can pass legislation an election is not required to be held aside from when the PCM and his/her party/parties is defeated in a vote of no confidence in the House of the People or is defeated in a general election which must be held within 3 years and 3 months from the first sitting date of that Parliament (currently its the 54th Parliament)

Irish Oath

I [cuir isteach ainm dlíthiúil iomlán] a swear go sollúnta go ndéanfaidh mé seasamh leis an mBunreacht agus beidh na freagrachtaí go dom mar an Taoiseach chomh fada agus is choimeád ar bun mé an muinín an Teach an Phobail fhorghníomhú.

Mar sin, cabhrú liom Dia

French Oath

Je [insérer le nom légal complet] jure solennellement que je respecterai la Constitution et s'acquitte des responsabilités désignées pour moi en tant que président du Conseil des ministres pour aussi longtemps que je garder la confiance de la Chambre du peuple.

Que Dieu m'y aide

German Oath

I [insert vollständigen Namen] schwöre feierlich, dass ich die Verfassung zu wahren und wird die Verantwortung bezeichnet mich als Präsident des Rates der Minister für so lange ich das Vertrauen des Haus des Volkes aufrechtzuerhalten auszuführen.

His election having been confirmed and announced, the Monarch-Elect is brought for coronation. After the procession and the beginning of Mass, but before the Liturgy of the Word, the Monarch-elect comes forward to the Book of the Gospels. The Patriarch of Silar exposes the Blessed Sacrament and the Monarch-elect kneels, putting his hand on the Gospel before intoning the Oath of Office:

I do solemnly swear with Almighty God, my Lord Jesus Christ, who is before me in the Blessed Sacrament, the Church, whose representative is before me, to all the saints as my witnesses, and on these Gospels, which I now touch with my hand, that I shall govern the High Commonwealth of Silar with a just and even hand, to fulfill the duties and obey the restrictions of my office. I shall to all in my power to maintain the causes of justice and order but also to exercise compassion. I swear to maintain and protect the Divine Laws of God, manifested in nature and to protect and defend the Holy and Catholic Faith. I lay upon this oath my immortal soul and place its eternal death as the price of violating what I now say. So may God give me the grace to bring it to completion.

The High Chancellor swears the oath of allegiance, which is sworn by all Members of the Council, as well as the oath of office. He must also receive approval from the current reigning monarch. All oaths are taken in both English followed by Irish.

The Oath of Allegiance
I, (name), do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Micheál, his heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.

Mé, (ainm) nach mionn go mbeidh mé dílis agus géillsine fíor A Shoillse Rí Micheál, a oidhrí agus a chomharbaí iompróidh, de réir dlí. Mar sin, cabhrú liom Dia.

The Oath of Office
I, (name), do swear that I will serve His Majesty King Micheál in the office of High Chancellor to the best of my capabilities, until I can no longer serve, or he or his descendants may feel I can no longer serve. So help me God.

Mé, (ainm), dhéanamh mionn go mbeidh mé ag freastal a Shoilse Rí Micheál in oifig an Seansailéir Ard an chuid is fearr de mo chumas, go dtí gur féidir liom a thuilleadh a sheirbheáil, nó féadfaidh sé nó dá shliocht bhraitheann féidir liom a thuilleadh a sheirbheáil. Mar sin, cabhrú liom Dia.


The monarch is sworn into office by the High Chancellor (Seansailéir Ard), and it is considered his last act (generally a new High Chancellor is chosen by a new monarch, but this is not always the case). This oath is only taken in Irish, but the English translation is provided here.
Seansailéir Ard: Do you solemnly promise and swear to govern the People of this Realm of Síochána and the people of this land thereunto belonging according to the Statutes in Cill Airne agreed upon, and the laws and customs of the same?

Monarch: I solemnly promise so to do.

Seansailéir Ard: Will you solemnly promise and swear to defend to the utmost of your power the sovereignty of this Realm? Will you swear to defend this Realm from those who would see its sovereignty invaded?

Monarch: I solemnly promise so to do.

Seansailéir Ard: Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?

Monarch: I will.

Seansailéir Ard: Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true religion of the people? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the tenets of Islam? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Religion of Cill Airne, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established? And will you, as established by law, preserve the freedom of religion? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of this Realm, and to the Churches committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?

Monarch: All this I promise to do.

Laying his/her hand upon the Qur'an, the Monarch says:

Monarch: The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep. So help me God.

Then the Monarch kisses the Qur'an and signs the oath.

The Imperial Oath is recited before a gathered crowd of Allinlian citizens. Here it as as recited by our current ruler during his coronation ceremony:
-------------------------------
"I, Tomni Chase Fratello, do hereby swear before my fellow Allinlians to defend and uphold the Constitution of the Allinlian Empire,
to fulfill my divine obligation to govern justly with unbreakable integrity,
to serve, guide, and protect Allinlia and all its people,
to always place their needs before my own,
to raise my children with care and love,
and to rule with courage and compassion.

I swear this to you, my people, so help me Cael."
----------------------
The oath and the ceremony has remained mostly unchanged since ancient times, the only exception is that historically it was conducted by the High Priest of the Caelian church who after the oath is given addresses the crowd and asks the Allinlian people if they accept the ruler-to-be as their new emperor. After hearing their cheers he makes this statement:

"Then by the power vested in me by the Allinlian people and almighty Cael, I hereby dub thee, Supreme Imperial Majesty, Emperor Cael [Tomni Chase] Fratello, [99th] ruler of the Allinlian Empire."

This duty was later given to the current democratically elected Senate Leader instead as it was decided that this made more symbolic sense, especially since the introduction of large religious minority groups.

Our current Emperor, who anyway is the first and claims to be the Almighty God on Earth, did not take an oath or anything similar to it. However, his successor is expected to do so during his coronation:

I, the Emperor of the holy nation of Sardakhar, do solemnly swear that I will serve to the fullest the nation of Sardakhar and all those that dwell within it, to serve as the successor to the sacred legacy of my predecessor, Emperor Longinus, first of that name, Almighty God on Earth and then on Heaven as the true God, for Sardakhar is truly blessed of all nations. To the best I shall conduct my office, to the most perfect of men I shall delegate rights and responsibilities, to my people I shall guide them to a full life of greatness and the greatest heavenly blessing in this world, which will not depart from the lands of my nation, until Shiloh comes; and to him all men shall gather. So help me God.

Each monarch has a different oath depending on the House from which they were born to, but the standard oath is the following:
I, (name) of (House Name), do swear upon the Constitution of this land and the blood of (House name) that I shall uphold the rights of my people to be free and equal with all my power henceforth bestowed upon me. I will serve the empire of Supemortis faithfully, unless (House Name) and my people decide otherwise, and will protect the values of my empire that have been defined in our Constitution. May I serve this empire until my final breath as monarch of this graceful empire, and henceforth be referred to as ruler of the empire of Supemortis.


However, when a Crown Prince is announced, they must recite the following:
I, (name) of (House Name), Crown Prince of the empire of Supemortis, promise to uphold the traditions and values of our lands and fight for my people. I will do my duty to protect the laws of our people, and shall henceforth be referred to as defender of all of Supemortis.


When the newest Commonblood Lord is announced, they recite a speech, which ends with:
I, (name) of the common folk, will serve my fellow men and women to the best of my abilities, and protect their rights and evoke their wills and wants. I shall serve my term of three years, then I will uphold the common folk's decision upon whom my successor shall be. I will hold court with our monarch and their heir thrice a year, and I shall help the creation of laws benefiting ourselves.

In Wigetalia we don't have oaths of office; instead there is a Change of Responsibility ceremony.

The sergeant-at-arms presents a token of the office (presidential - ceremonial quill; legislative - voting paddle with Yes and No on either side; judicial - gavel; city mayor - key, etc.) to the outgoing politician, who then passes it to the incoming one, who then passes it back to the sergeant-at-arms, much like Change of Command ceremonies in some military organizations.

A narrator talks about the ceremony and the role of the position during the whole thing.

Afterwards, both politicians give short remarks about the job and thank their corporate sponsors.

Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

Obviously. If there is one word that describes Kalasparata, it is obviously "smart."

It goes a little something like this:

"I, [Full Name], hereby do swear an oath to the Petrovian people, and to the Motherland, that I will never abuse my Presidential Powers for the good of myself, I shall not take bribes from the common folk, I shall not decide without a vote by Parliament, I shall not allow the Democracy we have fall to a Dictatorship, I shall not persecute the innocent, nor invade the weak, I shall only bring our armed forces into a war against a aggressive power, I shall not interfer with the personnel lives of the Petrovian people, I will, by the grace of God, come to the aid of any and all Slavic people that require this assistance, from the capital of Petrograd I will command the nation of Petrovia, and lead it to victory against those who wish it harm, and by order of the Petrovian people, I shall serve the Free World's best interests, to deter Terrorists and Dictators, and to bring Freedom to the people of the world, through both Diplomacy and Warfare, it is by this that I serve the Petrovian people, I do not lead the people, I represent them, and what is in their best interests, and in the name of God and the Slavs, I have been fairly elected, by the people, and I will serve, for the people, a government, with the people, I accept the honor of President of Petrovsegratsk, bestowed upon me not by God, but by the people."


Some people don't approve of the use of the word 'God' in it, but it's a part of Petrovian culture, and the Government has made it clear that it's culture shall not be changed because a minoirty(Atheists and non-Abrahamic religious people) got their jimmies rustled.

Mine is:
I, (name), do hereby and forever swear allegiance to myself, and to, to the greatest extent of my ability, fulfill my needs and wants at every opportunity and ignore those of others, so help me me.
