> 6. New provinces may be formed by Parlamīnt out of the territory of existing provinces, on the motion of :

> (b) the consent of the legislature(s) (if these exist) of the province(s) affected.

In my opinion, Ugo is completely wrong because he does not understand the difference between sovereign territory and citizen assignments.
Under The Constitution 1.1.3, the territory of the Republic is defined as the south-eastern suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, plus the island of Cézembre. It is this territory which Constitution 1.3.6 refers to. This is a completely different thing from which citizens who live outside the territory of the Repbulic are assigned to which province, which is dealt with by act of Parlamint under 1.3.3.
JKK's house is not Republic territory, any more than my house or your house is. Furthermore, all these clauses have one thing in common - they all state that the final decision must be made by Parlamīnt. I believe some of the Cezembre crowd have been wondering whether citizen assignments can be changed by simply cutting deals between the provincial governments. This is totally incorrect.
To summarise: the only way in which JKK can be assigned to Cezembre is by act of Parlamīnt. Will the esteemed MRP deputy from Cézembre submit a bill?
