Proclamation clause, title and preamble

As proclaimed by the Grand Forum of All Citizens,

Charter 002-003, Charter of Incorporation for Beacon City

Whereas Beacon City is the historic capital and cultural centre of Our Serene Republic, being the Birthplace of the Empire of New Winterdown and our legacy,
And whereas that legacy would be best protected by granting a legal recognition of the status of Beacon City as a City, both to protect the Autonomy of Beacon City and recognise its history;
It is so that we do by exercise of a Charter of Incorporation give and grant as follows:

Incorporation

1. There is to be a Body Corporate, known as the Beacon City Corporation (‘the Corporation’). As such, it is to be capable in law of holding property, filing and facing suit in a Justicial Council, and taking all actions necessary or incidental to a Body Corporate, with exception that any surplus revenue must be applied solely to other projects of the Corporation.
2. The Corporation is to be wholly owned by Our Serene Republic.
3. The Corporation is to be responsible for the governance of Beacon City.
4. The Corporation is to be governed by a Mayor of Beacon City, to be named by the Local Magistrate in accordance with P001-010 Chapter II, Section B, Article 3.

Corporate Objectives

1. To provide for the good governance of Beacon City (‘the City’), including but not limited to:
   1. Effecting those Local Ordinances it sees fit to effect in the City;
   2. Implementing the Local Ordinances that are in effect in the City;
   3. Promoting the welfare of residents of the City.
2. To do other such things that may seem necessary or incidental to these Corporate Objectives.

Authorisations and Restrictions

1. The City is contained completely within the Ward of New Winterdown. In accordance with P001-010 Chapter III, Section B, Article 1, the Writs of Ordinance Effect issued by the Mayor of Beacon City are to supercede those issued by the Warden of New Winterdown.
