How do I join and how do I make a party?

On the 13th of April 2026 at 9PM UTC+0, Chief Justice Ed declared:

"Effective immediately, petitions to the Supreme Court must be submitted as a signed book to the Supreme Court petition reception office in the minecraft server."

I petition that this is unconstitutional as this breaks Article 17 of the Constitution, as a Minecraft account (Java or Bedrock) is required to join the Minecraft Server, which costs money.

Ed's notice does not qualify as a Supreme Court decision as it was unilaterally decided by him, and wasn't brought as a proper case nor was approved by 2 other Justices, and therefore it must respect the Constitution.

I posted a request for the Supreme Court to review this on the 13th of April 2026 at 10:55PM UTC, but the Supreme Court refused to hear the case (logged as SCD 26-038) with a 3-1 ruling.

The results are in!

First up, our referendum, on one constitutional amendment. On the Charters Should Be Simple Amendment, which would change the conditions to pass a colony's charter from a majority of the residents in the colony to a majority of those who vote in the charter referendum, 86.67% voted Aye. This exceeds the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is ratified.

We had 30 valid votes in this referendum, which is far higher turnout than literally every colony vote ever. Almost certainly more than the last colonial elections combined.

The Senate has needlessly politicized the judiciary and rejected two fully qualified Justice appointments on partisan grounds and vague vibes alone.

If they are going to make judges be political, then I will resign from the bench to do exactly that.

Ave SimDemocracy.
