Art Verbotten | Let's start at the very beginning.
I didn't want to lose the feel of the original Preamble, just update things and address the whole new ballgame. Feel free to address the grammar and any awkwardness, but don't lose the sentiment.
_____________
Preamble
We are pioneers.
At no previous time in the existence of Talossa, had a province been formed out of the belly of another until Florencia was born. While other Talossans co-opted and developed tracts of land set aside for them by the government, turning them into fantasy fiefdoms, only one province was founded on the same principles of democracy and freedom that the Republic itself was found upon.
We are Florencia
Taking the name of a benevolent former Talossan ruler, King Florence, Florencia is one of the few provinces that after being settled, was actually developed by the native population. We took great pride is this and fought to keep our sovereignty even when greater powers looked to take it away from us. When the great revolution of 2004 took place, Florencia followed the newly formed Republic away from the darkness of tyranny and into the light of a true democratic state.
Now in 2007, with a fresh outlook and new blood, we look to reaffirm our beliefs by adopting this new Constitution for the Province of Florencia. Once again we seek to preserve life, liberty, and safeguard the law. The articles contained within shall prevail over all provincial laws preceding them. As Talossa is more than just the sum of its parts, so too is this province.
Viva la Florencia!
