Council Minutes
as recorded by Pleutius, Orator of Octavia...
We also request that the Pro-Consul retain his function as leader of this legislative body and that no motion is to be put forth to the Emperor until this body has confirmed the motion into an 'Act' whereby the Emperor may then institute the 'Act' into 'Law'. (OCC: In other words, the Emperor should not act into law anything until after the session of Council is completed.)
I can agree that the Emperor must wait until the session is closed before making an Act into law. The council must be given time to discuss the proposal. However in the end the Emperor/Empress has ultimate authority and should not be excluded from the discussion.
We would also like the assembly to pass a motion that would demand the Emperor denounce the actions of the former Empress. We request the House of Reichkaiser apologize for the civil war our great land has been forced to endure. And We request that the Emperor disband the private military force created by the Empress for the sole use of enforcement of her laws against the Royal Houses.
Octavia does not endorse this motion. Reichkaiser has put the Empire before its House own and are not soley responsible for the civil war. Octavia played its part and the Empire has stood together to battle our enemies. Let us now focus on Lincoln and begin planning the fall of our next rival.

Octavian Research Academy
I propose the city of Octavia be granted Al-Kindi (Great Scientist born in Civius) to help in the construction of a Research Academy. Octavia has the highest research rate of any city that does not have an Academy.

Defense Standardization Act of 470 BC (Reaffirmed in the Council)
The House of Octavia agrees that the Empire should increase military strength. Passage of the Tech Trade Act will also allow the Imperial Navy to begin building Galleon Ships. This will help protect our shores and fishing grounds from foreign threats.

Meanwhile the Octavian Governors met in Airon to discuss the Octavian cities....
Octavian Governors' Summary (Summary is based on passage of the Tech Trade Act)
City of Civius- Reassign Scientists to working production, including the Iron Mines currently in the Fua BFC, and construct a University (10 turns) starting this turn. Once the University of Civius is completed assign the citizens back to Scientists Specialists once again and return the Iron Mine to Fuas' BFC.
City of Octavia- Finish building a few Muskets then begin constructing either a Galleon or a University.
City of Airon- Send worker ASAP, clear jungle and improve the eastern province. I recommend mining the hill and farming the river grassland.
Mound City- lord Percival could not attend the meeting, an Octavian Cavalry unit was being honored in the city of Octavia for uprooting an espionage mission.
