Decree XXIV
Protected ObjectsWe, the occupant of this Office, do hereby issue the following Decree to protect various objects of national historical value, and Imperial possessions.
It is declared that the Imperial Institute of History shall maintain a list of items which are considered artefacts and therefore require protection, which shall be known as the Historical Items List. This list shall be divided into the categories of Grade A objects, Grade B objects, and Grade C objects. Grade A objects shall be reserved for only the most treasured national artefacts. Grade B objects shall be those that are considered moderately important, or important on a local level. Grade C objects shall be the least important that the IIH wishes to protect. Protected objects must be owned by the state, an organisation or an individual of Adammia. They should be kept within the Empire's territory when possible. It shall be considered a criminal offence to destroy a protected item, or to cause it to leave the ownership of the criteria above; the penalties shall be fines, for Grade A objects, up to £40; for Grade B objects, up to £15; for Grade C objects, up to £5. Damaging a protected item shall also be a criminal offence, and shall incur up to half of the fine listed above for each respective category.
Furthermore, it is declared that any possessions of the Monarch shall be protected, and destroying any of these possessions, causing them to permanently leave the Monarch's ownership, or badly damaging them shall incur a fine of up to £40; the same shall apply to possessions of the Imperial Family, with a fine of up to £15.
This, the twenty-fourth Imperial Decree of Our Imperial Majesty Emperor Adam the First, is decreed at Primoria on the fourth day of April, two-thousand and fourteenth year of the Common Era, and is signed into immediate effect.
Imperator Adammiae I
