Resolution 2020-12
Whereas, the House of Shepherds recently learned of the passing of Art Verbotten, and
Whereas, Verbotten, who resided in the Florencia canton of Benito, declared the secession of the canton, citing the existence of a different Cestour culture and character in Florencia than in northern Benito, and
Whereas, a brief struggle ensured with opponents of secession, Florencia was then declared Talossa's sixth province on 1 September 1996/XVII, the date of the promulgation of Florencia's first constitution by Verbotten, and
Whereas, Verbotten then became Florencia’s first Governor, and
Whereas, Art Verbotten can be considered the pivotal figure in the history of Florencia and is therefore a more than fitting recipient of the Order of Florencia.
Therefore, be it resolved, that:
The late Art Verbotten is posthumously enrolled into the Order of Florencia with immediate effect.
The period of review will close at 9:00AM TST on February 5th, 2021.
