My suggestion is, that instead of the Archcouncillor being chosen from among the ranks of the Council by the Council, the Archcouncillors seat will be replaced by a vacancy controlled by the nation of Aura, called henceforth the Regent of Zhem. The Regent will have all the rights and obligations of the Archcouncillor, but will also work as the representative of Aura. This way, the Nation of Zhem can work within the framework of a Union of Dominus without fear of losing the time-honoured traditions and laws of our numerous peoples, species and such.
In exchange, Zhem demands the return of the whole of the Island of Ahma into the Regency of Zhem to be created within the Union, including parts to be reconquered from foreign powers on the Holy Soil of our land.
