The Second Magna Carta

Clause 12 — Trial by Jury (Absolute Right) ¶

Trial by jury shall be the absolute right in all criminal matters and in all civil causes where liberty, property, or rights are at stake. No person shall be deprived of liberty, property, or rights except by a verdict supported by not less than two-thirds of a jury of their peers. Capital penalties shall require a unanimous verdict.

Clause 13 — Jury Nullification ¶

Juries shall be the judges of both fact and law. They may acquit in defiance of statute, regulation, or judicial instruction where such law or command is found unjust, unconstitutional, or contrary to this Charter. No juror shall be punished, questioned, or penalised for the exercise of conscience in rendering such a verdict.

Clause 14 — Publish Jury Verdicts on Blockchain ¶

All jury verdicts, including those rendered by nullification, shall be recorded and published anonymously on the national blockchain ledger as living precedent. Such records shall be permanent, publicly accessible, and immune from alteration or suppression by any authority.

Where a jury verdict nullifies or countermands any statute, regulation, or decree, that law shall be subject to immediate review by Parliament. Parliament shall, within ninety days of the verdict’s recording, amend or repeal the measure to bring it into conformity with this Charter and with the expressed judgment of the people, as represented by the impanelled jury that determined the law to be at fault.

Clause 15 — Habeas Corpus (72-Hour Limit) ¶

Habeas corpus shall be absolute for all residents within Britain. No person shall be deprived of liberty except by due process of law.

No citizen shall be detained longer than seventy-two hours without jury review and authorization of continued detention.

Non-citizens may be held for such periods as are necessary pending deportation or security determination, as provided in Clause 138.

Clause 16 — No Ex Post Facto ¶

No law shall have retroactive effect. No person shall be charged, tried, or punished for any act or omission which was not an offence under the law in force at the time it was committed.

Exception — Transitional Justice for Treason Acts of treason committed prior to the enactment of this Charter may be tried under the definitions and standards of common law then in force, but sentences shall be limited to a maximum of life imprisonment or exile (capital punishment shall not be permitted). Such proceedings must commence within five years of this Charter’s enactment, after which no retroactive prosecution shall be permitted and this exception shall be struck from the charter.

Clause 17 — Plain-English, Short Laws ¶

All laws shall be written in plain English, clear in meaning, and concise in form.
Parliament shall propose no statute exceeding two A4 pages in length at size eight font, nor may any proposal contain obscured, circular, or self-contradictory language.

Clause 18 — No Victimless Crimes ¶

No act shall constitute a crime unless it causes demonstrable physical or severe psychological harm to the person, property, liberty, or rights of another. No victimless act shall be punishable by the state.

Clause 19 — Victim Restitution Priority ¶

Restitution to the victim shall take priority over all other punishments or penalties. Compensation shall be paid directly to the victim or their rightful heirs. The state may act solely as a garnishing and enforcement body to ensure payment and to limit exposure of victims to the machinations of convicted perpetrators, but shall claim no portion of the restitution for itself. Juries shall determine the amount of restitution in proportion to the harm proven, and no other claim shall precede that of the victim.

Where appropriate, as defined by common law, the state may be required to act as guarantor of such restorative damages to ensure that additional harm is not done to victims of crime through delay, non-payment or withholding of duly owed restitution upon conviction. The state shall retain full right of recovery from the offender for any sum so advanced, enforceable through garnishing of wages, property seizure, or custodial labour.

Clause 20 — Punishments Limited; No State Fines ¶

No punitive fine shall be paid to the state. Punishment shall be limited to restitution, public service, corporal correction, custodial sentence, or death in the gravest cases. All punishments shall be proportionate to the offence, humane in application, and imposed only upon at least a two-thirds majority jury conviction.

Clause 21 — Public Service Sentences ¶

Non-custodial sentences shall consist of enforced public service performed for the benefit of the community, under supervision and proportional to the offence, and within the physical and cognitive capabilities of the perpetrator. Such service shall not exceed three hundred and twenty hours in duration. Public service sentences shall not displace paid labour, nor be used as a source of profit or economic advantage to the state or private entities. Refusal or wilful failure to complete the required service shall constitute grounds for custodial sentence, not exceeding one year.

Clause 22 — Corporal Correction for Petty Offences ¶

Corporal correction may be imposed at jury discretion for petty offences, including littering, vandalism, and disorderly conduct, where restitution or public service is impractical. Such correction shall be administered under public supervision and medical oversight, leaving no permanent injury.

It shall be applied only upon at least a two-thirds majority jury conviction, be proportionate to the offence, and be carried out with dignity, privacy, and restraint. The purpose shall be correction and deterrence, not cruelty or humiliation.

Clause 23 — Public Shaming Sanctions ¶

Public shaming sanctions, such as the stocks or comparable measures, may be imposed at jury discretion upon at least a simple majority jury conviction for petty offences, as defined by common law precedent, that cause severe or repeated social nuisance or disorder but inflict no physical harm or significant property damage.

Such sanctions are intended as controlled humiliation to correct behaviour and restore community order. They shall not exceed twenty-four hours in duration, shall be proportionate, and must be conducted safely under public supervision, doing no physical harm to the perpetrator. Some limited discomfort is permitted, provided it does not harm the individual. No permanent record shall remain on the individual’s criminal record once the sanction is served.

Refusal or wilful failure to comply shall constitute grounds for corporal punishment or a custodial sentence not exceeding one month.

Clause 24 — Stronger Sentences for Serious Non-Violent Crime ¶

Serious non-violent crimes, including burglary, fraud, or other acts causing significant loss or intrusion without direct violence, may be punished by stronger corporal correction, a short custodial sentence, or both, as determined by jury discretion upon at least a two-thirds majority jury conviction.

Such sentences shall remain proportionate to the offence, as defined by common law precedent, uphold restitution as the first priority, and serve the purpose of deterrence and moral correction rather than vengeance.

Clause 25 — Prison Labour Wages in Trust ¶

Prisoners shall work if able. Wages, paid at fair market rates, shall be held in trust and applied continuously throughout the term of imprisonment — first to restitution or state guarantor reimbursement under Clause 19, and to the support of any dependants of the perpetrator. One quarter of the perpetrator’s earnings shall be reserved to support their reintegration upon release.

Prisoners serving life sentences shall be garnished at one hundred percent of earnings. These funds shall be used for restitution of victims, state guarantor reimbursement under Clause 19, and the support of any dependants of the perpetrator.

Should any prisoner later be acquitted or exonerated, the state shall reimburse all sums garnished with interest, except for those portions lawfully given in support of dependants. Appropriate compensation may be sought by the acquitted or exonerated individual upon release. Restitution lawfully received by victims shall be irrevocable; the state shall bear sole responsibility for compensation in the event of wrongful conviction, until the actual perpetrator is convicted.

Reasonable safeguards shall prevent self-harmful spending or exploitation. All such accounts and disbursements shall be transparently recorded on the national blockchain ledger.

Clause 26 — Whole-Life Terms via Jury ¶

Irredeemably dangerous offenders may, upon jury determination, receive whole-life custodial sentences. Such sentences shall be reserved for those who pose a continuing and grave threat to life or public safety, and shall require at least a two-thirds jury majority in favour.

All whole-life terms shall be subject to periodic jury review at least once every ten years, or sooner where new evidence comes to light, to confirm continued danger and necessity of confinement.

Clause 27 — False-Flag Treason (Death) ¶

False-flag operations, contrived conflicts, or acts designed to deceive the British people into war or repression are high treason.

Clause 28 — Treason/Terrorism (Death) ¶

Treason, terrorism, or betrayal of the nation’s sovereignty or security shall be punished as follows:

Clause 29 — Higher Standard for Officials ¶

Judges, magistrates, officers, and all agents of the state are bound to a higher standard of integrity. Betrayal of office, corruption, or wilful neglect of Charter duties shall be deemed aggravated offences, punishable more severely than the same crimes committed by private persons.

Where such betrayal constitutes treason or terrorism, the penalties in Clauses 27 and 28 — including the graduated sentencing provisions therein — shall apply.

Clause 30 — Immunity Under Lawful Jury Orders ¶

Police officers and public officials acting under lawful jury orders shall have full immunity for all necessary acts performed in good faith and within the bounds of those orders.

Such immunity shall not extend to acts performed outside those orders, or in reckless disregard of their lawful scope or the Charter itself.

Clause 31 — General Power of Arrest ¶

Every citizen shall hold a general power of arrest, to be exercised lawfully and with reasonable cause. Civics instruction shall include education on its proper and responsible use.

Clause 32 — Peelian Policing Codified ¶

The Peelian principles of policing are codified within this Charter - the police are the public and the public are the police; success is measured by the absence of crime and disorder. The police must enforce the law equally to all, without fear, or favour.

Prevent crime and disorder as an alternative to military force and severity of punishment.

Public approval is dependent on police actions and behavior, so the police must earn it.

Willing cooperation of the public in observing the law is necessary to gain and maintain public approval.

Diminishing public cooperation means an increasing necessity for physical force.

Impartial service to the law, rather than catering to public opinion, is how public favor is gained and preserved.

Physical force should be used only when persuasion, advice, and warning are insufficient, and only to the minimum extent necessary.

Police are members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties that every citizen has a responsibility for.

Adherence to their executive functions and abstaining from usurping the powers of the judiciary is crucial.

The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action.

Clause 33 — No Entry Without Consent or Warrant ¶

No officer, agent, or other person acting under colour of law shall enter any private dwelling without the free consent of the owner or occupant, save under a lawful warrant individually issued and personally signed by a judge.

No blanket or automated warrant shall be valid; each warrant must bear a judge’s wet signature confirming that the facts and grounds have been responsibly reviewed in full.

All such warrants shall specify the person, premises, and purpose, and shall expire within seventy-two hours of issue unless renewed by judicial authority. Any unlawful entry shall constitute a grave breach of this Charter and of the peace of the realm.

Clause 34 — Jury Warrant for Search/Surveillance ¶

No search, seizure, surveillance, interception, or compelled decryption shall be conducted without a lawful warrant issued by a judge upon sworn evidence. Such warrants shall be narrowly tailored in both scope and duration, specifying the persons, communications, or property to which they apply.

All warrants under this clause shall expire within thirty days unless renewed by a judge upon fresh sworn evidence. Unauthorised or deceptive use of surveillance powers, particularly mass or indiscriminate collection, shall constitute a grave breach of this Charter and of the peace of the realm.

All property seized under warrant and not evidentially significant shall be returned in good condition and without delay once it is no longer required for the investigation, or immediately upon the absence or dismissal of charges. The state shall be liable for any loss, damage, or unreasonable retention.

Clause 35 — No Secret Courts or Secret Evidence ¶

Secret courts and secret evidence against citizens are forbidden. All trials shall be public and all evidence subject to scrutiny by both defence and jury.

Where genuine and immediate national-security concerns are claimed, a special secrecy review jury shall be sworn in under oath of confidentiality to assess, in camera, whether limited secrecy is justified. Only that jury may authorise temporary non-disclosure, and only to the minimum extent and duration strictly necessary to prevent direct harm to national security or life.

No conviction shall ever rest on evidence unseen by a jury. Any misuse of secrecy to obstruct justice or conceal state misconduct shall constitute a grave breach of this Charter and of the peace of the realm.

Clause 36 — Ban on Slavery, Torture, Cruel Punishment ¶

No citizen shall be enslaved, tortured, or subjected to excessively cruel or degrading punishment. Corporal punishment, when lawfully ordered, proportionate, and properly implemented under medical and public supervision, shall not be deemed cruel or unlawful. Forced labour, human trafficking, or any form of servitude beyond lawful custodial sentence are absolutely forbidden.

Clause 37 — Misconduct Tried by Jury; Penalties ¶

All allegations of misconduct, corruption, or betrayal of duty by judges, magistrates, prosecutors, or any public officers shall be tried by jury. Such acts shall be deemed aggravated offences, punished more severely than the same crimes by private persons. Penalties shall include removal from office, permanent disqualification from public service, forfeiture of ill-gotten gains and pension rights related to the office abused, and imprisonment proportionate to the gravity of betrayal. Where such misconduct constitutes treason or terrorism, the penalties in Clauses 27 and 28 — including the graduated sentencing provisions therein — shall apply.

Clause 38 — Fair, Limited, Transparent Taxation ¶

Taxation shall exist only to fund the lawful and essential functions of the Realm — national defence, justice, and such indispensable public services as are necessary to preserve sovereignty, order, and the common good.

All taxation shall be fair, transparent, and strictly limited to the minimum required for those purposes. No hidden or indirect taxation shall be permitted.

No tax shall be created, increased, or extended except by explicit statute consistent with this Charter and by the free consent of the people expressed through public referendum.

When any public office, programme, or function is abolished or reduced, taxation shall be decreased proportionally and forthwith.

No revenue shall be raised through deficit spending, currency debasement, or any device that conceals or defers the true cost of government.

All taxes levied and revenues expended shall be published in real time on the national blockchain, open to inspection by all citizens.

Any citizen may bring a lawful challenge before a jury against any tax, expenditure, or device contravening this Clause. A jury verdict in their favour shall void the measure and require restitution.

Clause 39 — Proportional PAYE & Business Tax; No Double Taxation ¶

Primary taxation within the Realm shall consist solely of:

(a) proportional income tax (PAYE) upon individual earnings; and
(b) proportional business tax upon net profit derived from lawful commerce.

Income tax shall be levied once, at source, upon the individual’s earnings. Business tax shall apply only to the net surplus remaining after the payment of lawful expenses, wages, and materials — representing new value created within the economy.

The fact that businesses receive revenue from individuals who have already paid income tax shall not preclude the lawful taxation of business profits, provided that such taxation does not duplicate taxation upon the same income in the same hands.

No hidden, indirect, or cascading taxes — including sales taxes, value-added taxes, fuel duties, levies, or their equivalents — shall be permitted. All taxation must be visible, direct, and plainly stated in statute.

Any alteration of tax rates or thresholds shall take effect only after referendum that the change is necessary, proportionate, and consistent with this Charter.

All rates and assessments shall be published in full on the national blockchain, ensuring permanent transparency and accountability.

Any attempt to conceal or multiply taxation through reclassification, surcharge, or regulation shall constitute fiscal fraud against the people and a breach of this Charter, see Clause 56.

Clause 40 — Abolish VAT, Inheritance, Arbitrary Levies ¶

All arbitrary levies, including value added tax, inheritance tax, fuel duty, and all other indirect or hidden taxes upon the people, shall be abolished and prohibited.

No tax shall be imposed upon the act of purchase, sale, exchange, or transfer of property between lawful parties, except in the form of a single individual income tax and a single business tax upon net profits derived therefrom, as defined under Clause 39.

No individual shall be taxed for dying, for giving, or for receiving the fruits of lawful labour or inheritance beyond the lawful application of Clause 39.

All taxation shall be direct, visible, and levied only upon income or profit expressly authorised by statute and consistent with this Charter.

Any attempt to reintroduce or disguise such taxes under another name or form shall constitute fiscal fraud against the people and a breach of this Charter, punishable upon jury conviction by immediate removal from office and imprisonment proportionate to the gravity of the offence, as defined by common law precedent.

Clause 41 — Local Voluntary Tithes (Blockchain Recorded) ¶

Local government shall be funded chiefly through voluntary local tithes contributed by residents and enterprises within each jurisdiction.

Such tithes shall be freely given, without coercion or penalty for non-payment, and shall confer upon each contributor the right to full transparency in local finances. Elected officials may govern on behalf of the community, but must duly inform and consult contributors on all matters of budgeting and expenditure.

All tithes, receipts, and disbursements shall be recorded in real time upon the national blockchain, permanently auditable and visible to the public.

No local authority shall impose mandatory levies, hidden charges, or service fees in substitution for voluntary tithes.

Local referenda may determine the allocation of collected tithes, but shall never compel contribution or create any obligation of payment. Participation shall remain wholly voluntary in every respect.

A defined portion of all collected tithes shall in turn be tithed to a central relief fund supporting councils and parishes that experience shortfalls in essential services due to low population or unforeseen events such as flood, fire, or civil disorder. Persistent or negligent reliance upon such relief shall be subject to investigation and, upon jury finding of misconduct or mismanagement, the immediate recall of the responsible officers and a by-election to replace them.

Any attempt by a local authority to impose taxation, or to obscure or misrepresent the use or disposition of tithe funds, shall constitute fiscal fraud and a breach of this Charter, punishable upon jury conviction by removal from office and imprisonment proportionate to the gravity of the offence, as defined by common-law precedent.

Clause 42 — Real-Time Public Accounts on National Blockchain ¶

All public accounts, budgets, contracts, grants, and expenditures of the State shall be published in real time on the national blockchain, permanently auditable by any citizen without fee.

No public money shall be received, held, committed, or disbursed except by an account, contract, or instrument contemporaneously recorded on the blockchain identifying recipient, purpose, amount, and authorising officer.

All persons or entities maintaining State ledger infrastructure shall act as public trustees bound by oath to impartiality; interference with ledger operation constitutes fiscal misconduct under 56.

Any purported expenditure or liability not so recorded shall be presumed unlawful; responsible officers shall be suspended and a jury-audited forensic accounting convened. Proven concealment or falsification shall be recoverable by the State and punishable under this Charter.

In cases national security requirement, or immediate danger to life, a judge on sworn evidence may permit temporary non-publication. The judge must record an encrypted on-chain hash of the authorisation and appoint a secrecy-review jury to examine the facts. Full public disclosure must follow within one year unless the secrecy-review jury, on sworn evidence, authorises a time-limited extension; any further extension requires fresh sworn evidence reviewed before a new secrecy-review jury for reauthorisation.

All third-party contracts, including buildings, services, or vehicles that create public liabilities shall be linked on-chain to the originating public account and attest beneficial ownership. Narrow and temporary exceptions for the duration of service are permitted only where necessary for authorised covert law-enforcement operations (for example, purchase of unmarked vehicles to execute investigations and warrants); such exceptions must be recorded on-chain as an encrypted hash and submitted to the secrecy-review jury for public disclosure within one year of the end of the vehicle, or liabilities service life.

Attempts to evade these requirements by routing payments through intermediaries, foreign entities, or private vehicles shall be presumptively unlawful and subject to the remedies and penalties prescribed by this Charter.

Clause 43 — No Deficit Spending ¶

For the purposes of this Charter, deficit spending is any State expenditure within a fiscal year that exceeds the State’s lawful receipts for that year, after accounting for lawful transfers and authorised reserves.

Deficit spending is forbidden. The State shall provide for a balanced budget each fiscal year: appropriations and commitments shall not exceed forecast lawful receipts.

Two consecutive fiscal-year deficits shall trigger a mandatory general election. If the incumbent party or coalition is returned, the deficit count shall continue; each subsequent anniversary of the general election on which the State records a fiscal deficit shall again trigger a general election until a government is returned that has not presided over two consecutive deficits.

No Debt Financing of Operating Deficits. The State shall not finance operating shortfalls by issuing debt, monetising obligations, creating money, or otherwise deferring the true cost of governance. Any instrument or manoeuvre intended to conceal or postpone a budget shortfall shall be void.

Capital Funding. Long-term capital projects may be financed only by (a) dedicated sinking funds, (b) pre-authorised capital appropriations, (c) voluntary reserves expressly created for that purpose, (d) voluntary public contributions, or (e) emergency borrowing lawfully authorised under Clause 44. Capital commitments that would generate an operating deficit are prohibited.

All budgets, appropriations, and reconciliations shall be published transparently in real time on the national blockchain and closed annually in accordance with Clause 60. Forecasts and contingency provisions shall be declared conservatively to prevent artificial smoothing of expenses.

Any authorisation, appropriation, contract, or disbursement that creates an unlawful deficit shall be voidable; responsible officers shall be suspended pending a jury-audited forensic accounting to be convened within fourteen days. Proven deliberate concealment or circumvention of this Clause shall be recoverable by the State and punishable under this Charter, including removal from office and other penalties provided by Clause 56. If cleared they can resume their duties if the choose to.

Clause 44 — Emergency Borrowing Only by Strict Referendum ¶

Emergency borrowing by the State shall be permitted only upon a binding referendum of the people. Such borrowing shall be strictly capped in both amount and duration, fully disclosed on the national blockchain ledger, and subject to public audit. No extension or renewal of emergency debt shall be valid without another binding referendum.

The emergency shall be defined in the referendum proposal and may include war, invasion, insurrection, pandemic, catastrophic natural disaster, or systemic financial collapse; the proposal must state the factual basis for the claimed emergency and the precise terms of borrowing. Long-term repayment plans and identified sources of repayment shall be specified in the referendum.

Any use of borrowed funds inconsistent with the referendum’s terms shall be recoverable by the State and punishable under this Charter; citizens shall have standing to bring jury action to enforce this Clause.

Failure to plan for foreseeable situations or events does not constitute an emergency under this Clause. Enacting this Clause in any situation where the government knew, or reasonably should have known, that such a situation was likely to arise shall trigger a general election at the earliest opportunity.

Clause 45 — Tri-Rail Currency System ¶

Currency shall operate on a tri-rail basis:

• Bitcoin (BTC) recognised as the ultimate marker good and reserve;
• Stable Sterling (SS), a digital currency pegged to BTC and redeemable in BTC;
• Sovereign Pound (SP), a gold-backed physical cash currency redeemable in gold or SS.


The State shall maintain a tri-rail monetary system in which gold and Bitcoin (BTC) are constitutionally protected stores of value, and Sovereign Pound (SP) and Stable Sterling (SS) are the State’s transactional currencies.

SP shall be the State physical cash currency, issued only against verifiable gold backing and redeemable on demand in gold or in SS at the published statutory conversion. No SP shall be created except against demonstrable gold backing; no gold reserve shall be pledged, encumbered, or used otherwise in a manner that would impair SP redemption. Citizens shall have the right to obtain, hold, and redeem SP.

SS shall be the State digital transactional token, issued and redeemable at par for SP and intended for high-volume, low-value day-to-day transactions. SS shall be freely convertible into SP on demand; SP and BTC shall be convertible into one another under transparent, published procedures that protect orderly markets and citizen redemption rights. Where market liquidity and the State’s published operational safeguards permit, direct SS↔BTC conversions may be facilitated subject to the same protections. SS issuance shall at all times be fully backed by SP/gold as demonstrated on the national blockchain; SS shall carry no claim to assets other than those specified on-chain and shall not be fractionally or secretly issued. The detailed mechanics of conversion—settlement windows, per-account limits, redemption fees, oracle standards, and reserve targets—shall be prescribed by statute and published in real time on the national blockchain.

BTC and gold shall be recognised as the principal media of long-term saving; SS and SP shall be used for transactional liquidity only. The State shall maintain and publish on the quantum-resistant national ledger the proof-of-reserves, convertibility rules, settlement procedures, fees, and reserve targets necessary to secure redeemability and market orderliness.

To protect convertibility and prevent front-running or market manipulation, the State shall operate a publicly announced programme to accumulate BTC reserves by means of frequent, small purchases executed at randomized times—no fewer than four purchases per day—using a commit-and-reveal protocol: the State shall on-chain commit the intended order parameters in advance, execute within the committed window at randomized instants, and publish verifiable settlement proof immediately after execution. All purchases shall be funded only from authorised surpluses, conversion fees, or voluntary reserves and never by debt or monetising obligations.

Operational safeguards for convertibility shall include time-weighted average price oracles drawn from multiple independent sources, per-account redemption limits and staggered settlement for large claims, dynamic but published conversion fees that feed a transparent insurance reserve, and minimum BTC and gold reserve targets to be set by statute. Circuit breakers, judicially authorised temporary limits, and on-chain alerts shall apply when reserves fall below statutory thresholds.

All issuance, reserve holdings, convertibility terms, settlement proofs, oracle data, and changes to backing or parity shall be recorded in real time on quantum-resistant ledgers and be subject to continuous public audit. Any deliberate debasement, covert dilution, secret pledging of reserves, or device that reduces the real value of SP, SS, BTC, or gold holdings shall be a grave breach of this Charter and punishable accordingly.

Private tokens may be used by consenting parties but carry no legal-tender status and may not be represented as State-backed. Citizens’ rights to hold savings in BTC or gold are protected and shall not be impaired by State action.

No fiscal authority shall direct, compel, or influence the issuance or redemption policy of the State’s monetary authority, save as permitted by statute under this Charter.

Legacy fiat instruments and obligations shall remain honoured for conversion at fair market parity into SP or SS for a period not exceeding five years after enactment, thereafter expiring.

Clause 46 — Fine Divisibility for SS and SP ¶

Purpose: to ensure that as SS and SP retain or increase purchasing power (especially through links to BTC and gold), ordinary citizens may continue to purchase everyday goods (milk, bread, eggs, small shopping trips, transport fares, etc.) without needing an impracticable bulk of coin or change.

SS and SP shall be divisible to fine increments sufficient for ordinary commerce and precise settlement; the minimum legal accounting unit for both SS and SP shall be one ten-thousandth (0.0001) of a whole unit unless statute prescribes a finer digital granularity. Electronic payment systems shall support and display fractional units down to the legal accounting unit; merchants shall accept fractional SS in electronic form for all lawful purchases.

The State shall ensure the practical availability of small-denomination SP for cash transactions and may issue fractional physical notes, certified vouchers, or small-value tokens where necessary; any such fractional instruments and their redemption terms shall be plainly stated and recorded on the national blockchain.

All State accounts, ledgers, conversion calculations, and on-chain records shall round only to the legal accounting unit and shall record values to that unit or finer where required for conversion with BTC. Rounding conventions shall be uniform, transparent, and published on the national blockchain; no rounding rule shall effect covert transfer of value, create hidden fiscal advantage, or discriminate against cash or digital tender.

Large-value SP coins or notes shall retain their nominal value and shall not be recalled except where necessary for security reasons. Where a recall is ordered for security or integrity of the currency, holders shall be offered, at their election, either replacement of equivalent value in like notation, an equivalent bundle of smaller denominations, or conversion into SS on transparent, published terms. No recall or reissuance shall impair the real value of any lawful holding; secret or forcible confiscation is forbidden.

SP shall be recognised as a bearer instrument — a transferable, gold-redeemable bearer bond — and citizens shall have the right to obtain, hold, transfer, and redeem SP in accordance with this Charter. The State shall not require disclosure of lawful transfers of SP between private parties except where necessary to enforce fraud, money-laundering, or criminal liability pursuant to clear judicial process; any measures adopted for such enforcement shall be narrowly tailored, proportionate, and recorded on the national blockchain.

No merchant or State actor shall refuse a lawful retail transaction on the sole ground that the amount requires fractional units; no merchant may demand payment in bulky quantities of physical notes as a consequence of currency appreciation. Any abuse of divisibility, rounding, availability, recall, or replacement mechanisms to the detriment of consumers or holders shall be presumptively unlawful and subject to remedy under this Charter.

All physical SP shall carry an encrypted authenticity token (for example, an RFID or equivalent secure element) containing only a cryptographic checksum signed by the State. The State shall issue to every citizen, free of charge, a simple validating device that reads and decrypts the checksum and returns only one of three responses: positive (authentic), negative (counterfeit), or error (one chip is damaged — return to bank for replacement). The validating device shall perform local cryptographic verification only, shall not transmit or retain serial identifiers or geolocation data, and shall not be capable of tracking currency flows. The checksum, signatures, and validation protocol shall employ quantum-resistant cryptography as required by Clause 48 and shall be standardised, auditable, and published on the national blockchain. All notes shall be signed with the same State digital signature scheme; no per-note identifier readable by the device shall be exposed to enable tracing. Any use of the validating device, the signature keys, or associated infrastructure to surveil, track, or identify lawful transfers of SP shall be a grave breach of this Charter and punishable upon jury conviction. Damaged or unreadable notes shown as error shall be exchangeable at any designated State authorised bank branch for replacement under statute; replacement procedures shall protect the claimant’s privacy and shall not require disclosure of lawful transfers except under narrowly tailored judicial process to investigate fraud or crime. Notes and coinage shall contain at least three independent verification chips to ensure banks are able to validate the note’s authenticity.

Any attempt to counterfeit SP or SS, or to falsify backing, convertibility records, or reserve attestations, shall be treated as treason under Clause 28 and, upon unanimous jury conviction, shall be punishable by the maximum penalty provided therein.

Clause 47 — Right to Physical Cash (SP) Redeemable ¶

Physical cash (SP) is a constitutional right. Every citizen shall have the right to obtain, hold, transfer, and redeem SP without undue restriction. SP shall at all times be redeemable on demand in gold or in Stable Sterling (SS) under the published statutory conversion terms recorded on the national blockchain.

SP shall be legal tender for all public and private obligations within the State and no law, regulation, or administrative act shall lawfully abolish, demonetise, impair, or confiscate SP except by direct popular referendum. The State shall not impose negative interest, forced conversion, or any comparable levy upon lawful holdings of SP except pursuant to clear jury conviction for criminal liability and pursuant remedies.

Redemption procedures, fees (if any), limits, and settlement windows shall be published in plain language and in real time on the national blockchain. Replacement rules for lost, damaged, or recalled SP shall be provided by statute and shall protect the privacy and property rights of holders while preventing fraud; where Clause 46 provides for validating devices and encrypted authenticity tokens, such devices and procedures shall be the primary means of on-site validation.

No requirement shall be imposed that forces disclosure of lawful private transfers of SP between citizens except where a court of competent jurisdiction, upon sworn evidence, orders disclosure narrowly and proportionately to investigate crime. Any use of SP validation, issuance, or replacement mechanisms to surveil, trace, or identify lawful transfers shall be a grave breach of this Charter.

Citizens shall have standing to bring jury action to enforce any violation of these rights. A jury finding in favour of a challenger shall void the offending measure, require restitution, and trigger such remedies as this Charter prescribes.

Clause 48 — Quantum-Resistant Monetary Ledgers/Voting ¶

All State monetary ledgers, settlement systems, reserve attestations, proof-of-reserves records, and all State voting systems shall employ quantum-resistant cryptography and associated protocols sufficient to protect their confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation for the foreseeable life of the instrument.

The State shall adopt only open, peer-reviewed, and publicly documented post-quantum standards; no proprietary or undisclosed cryptographic scheme shall be used to secure State monetary or voting infrastructure. All cryptographic primitives, key-management procedures, and signature schemes used to secure on-chain records or to validate currency or votes shall be published, auditable, and subject to independent third-party review.

Root signing keys, minting keys, and other critical crypto-material shall be held under multi-party threshold custody distributed among independent institutions and subject to strict rotation, audit, and public disclosure rules; no single officer, minister, agency, or contractor shall possess unilateral control over any key that can alter monetary issuance, reserve attestations, or certified vote records. All hardware security modules, random-number generators, and cryptographic devices shall meet auditable standards and be subject to continuous public verification.

The State shall maintain and publish a forward-looking cryptographic migration plan, including tested procedures and on-chain commit/reveal anchors, to be executed promptly upon the discovery of material weaknesses. A routine programme of cryptanalysis, external audit, and public exercises shall be maintained to validate ongoing resistance to known and prospective quantum attacks.

Voting systems secured by post-quantum cryptography shall remain end-to-end verifiable, preserve voter privacy, and produce auditable, human-readable audit trails sufficient for jury and public scrutiny. No voting result shall rest solely upon an unrecoverable or non-auditable cryptographic artefact.

Any intentional deployment of non-quantum-resistant cryptography to secure State monetary or voting functions, or any secret compromise of cryptographic materials, shall be a grave breach of this Charter and shall trigger immediate suspension of the implicated system, a forensic jury audit, and such penalties as this Charter prescribes. Citizens shall have standing to demand and obtain independent audit and judicial review of any cryptographic failure affecting monetary integrity or the suffrage.

Any attempt to interfere with or falsify records or sworn attestations shall be treated as treason under Clause 28 and, upon unanimous jury conviction, shall be punishable by the maximum penalty provided therein.

Clause 49 — Real-Time Visibility of Taxes & Spending ¶

All taxation flows, receipts, credits, exemptions, transfers, and State expenditures shall be visible to citizens in real time on the national blockchain in a standard, machine-readable format. Tax rules, rates, thresholds, reliefs, and the legal basis for each impost shall be published plainly and contemporaneously with their application.

Where disclosure of particular details would, in the judgment of a judge on sworn evidence, create imminent and demonstrable risk to life or national security, the procedures of Clause 42 shall apply. In such cases the State may record the expenditure on the blockchain as an aggregated entry showing the total amount certified as sensitive State spending for that programme, together with an encrypted on-chain hash linking to the sealed supporting records. For example: ten authorised sensitive programmes drawing £10 million each shall appear on the ledger as ten programme identifiers and a cumulative sensitive-spending figure of £100 million, while full particulars remain sealed under the authority of the secrecy-review jury.

Each aggregated sensitive-spending entry shall display, at a minimum:

a unique programme identifier;
the total authorised amount;
the date of authorisation;
the approving ministerial department or agency;
the judge’s warrant reference and expiry date of secrecy authorisation; and
the encrypted hash linking to the sealed record held under Clause 42 custody.

These fields constitute the minimum disclosure required under this Charter and may be expanded by statute or by order of a secrecy-review jury where additional transparency is judged consistent with national security.

Any secrecy authorisation under this Clause shall follow the judicial and secrecy-review jury safeguards of Clause 42. The secrecy-review jury shall have full access to the sealed records and power to compel additional disclosure, restitution, or prosecution where expenditures are found unlawful, excessive, or mis-classified. Secrecy authorisations are temporary and subject to the renewal limits and audit requirements set out in Clause 42; repeated or serial secrecy for routine procurement is forbidden.

All receipts and the ultimate allocation of funds—including those recorded as aggregated sensitive spending—shall remain auditable by the secrecy-review jury and by any citizen exercising on-chain challenge rights. Any expenditure or liability not recorded in compliance with Clause 42 and this Clause shall be presumed unlawful and shall trigger the remedies and penalties of Clauses 42 and 56.

Accessible, free public interfaces shall display both the full, non-sensitive ledger and the aggregated sensitive entries. Procedures for requesting and convening secrecy-review juries and for public audit of sealed records shall be plainly published on the national blockchain.

All persons or entities maintaining State ledger infrastructure shall act as public trustees bound by oath to impartiality; interference with ledger operation constitutes fiscal misconduct under 56.

A jury verdict finding unlawful secrecy, misclassification, or misuse of sensitive spending shall void the offending measure, require restitution, and impose such penalties as this Charter prescribes.

Clause 50 — Ban Usury; Allow Fair Risk Compensation ¶

Usury—defined as the lending of money or credit at exploitative or excessive interest, or the creation of debt without genuine shared risk—is forbidden. No person, institution, or State body shall profit from the creation of money or credit unbacked by real asset, labour, or risk exposure.

Fair compensation for genuine risk, administrative cost, or opportunity cost in lawful investment or credit arrangements is permitted, and shall be determined by open contract and refined by jury precedent according to the principles of equity and proportionality. Any rate, term, or condition that extracts gain grossly disproportionate to the lender’s risk or contribution shall be deemed usurious and void.

Compound interest extending beyond the principal risk period shall be presumptively usurious unless expressly justified before a jury or regulator empowered under this Charter. Debt instruments designed to perpetuate dependency, conceal effective rates, or capture unearned gain through complexity or obfuscation shall likewise be treated as usurious.

No debt shall be sold, assigned, or securitised at a discount or premium that alters the debtor’s total obligation without the debtor’s free, informed, and written consent. Hidden fees, automatic renewals, or unilateral interest escalations are prohibited.

All lending institutions, including State entities, shall publish on the national blockchain their effective annual rates, fees, and contractual terms in standardised, machine-readable form, to permit civic scrutiny and jury audit.

Where a jury determines that a debt or class of debts is usurious, the unlawful portion shall be nullified, all payments made in excess of lawful principal and fair compensation shall be refunded or credited to the debtor, and those responsible for deliberate usury shall be liable to restitution, forfeiture of unlawful profit, and imprisonment under Clause 56.

Usury by officers of the State, or by entities operating under State charter or licence, shall constitute aggravated fiscal misconduct. Where such conduct is proven deliberate and systemic, it shall be treated as fiscal treason under Clause 28 and punishable by the maximum penalty provided therein.

Clause 51 — No Debtors’ Prisons ¶

No citizen shall be imprisoned, detained, or otherwise deprived of liberty for debt, default, or insolvency arising from civil or commercial obligation, whether owed to a private party, corporation, or the State. The inability to pay shall never constitute a crime.

Where lawful debt is proven and unpaid, recovery shall be by peaceful civil process only: restitution, garnishment of wages or assets, mediated repayment, or other proportionate civil remedy as determined by jury under this Charter. Seizure of essential dwelling, tools of trade, or necessary subsistence assets shall be forbidden unless the debtor has committed fraud, concealment, or wilful evasion after due notice and fair opportunity to settle.

A debtor who has acted in good faith and cooperated with lawful recovery shall not lose civil rights, voting rights, or access to public services. Bankruptcy shall be treated as an act of restoration, not moral failure, and discharge shall release the person from all further liability for the forgiven debts.

Imprisonment or forced labour to satisfy private or public debt is prohibited. Where fraud, deceit, or deliberate concealment of assets is proven before a jury, punishment shall be for the fraud itself, not for the debt.

All debt-collection proceedings shall be recorded on the national blockchain in anonymised, auditable form, identifying creditor class, amount, and disposition of assets, so that abuses of process may be publicly monitored. Any secret or coercive practice intended to imprison, intimidate, or enslave a debtor—directly or by subterfuge—shall be a grave breach of this Charter.

The State shall ensure accessible debt-mediation services, community arbitration, and transparent insolvency courts operating under jury oversight to secure equitable settlements between creditors and debtors.

Any person or institution found to have imprisoned or coerced another for debt, or to have profited from such unlawful coercion, shall forfeit the unlawful gain and, upon jury conviction, be disqualified from lending or financial practice and imprisoned proportionate to the gravity of the offence.

Debt resolution under this Charter shall serve the principles of restorative justice — enabling the debtor’s reintegration into productive society, the lawful recovery of losses to creditors, and the restoration of moral and economic balance without cruelty, coercion, or humiliation.

Debt collection and income garnishment shall be the sole preserve of the state and can not be undertaken without state licence. The state shall not impose additional costs upon the debter for debt-collection in line with clause 20.

Clause 52 — No Public Propaganda Against the People ¶

No public money, resource, or office of the State shall be used to produce, fund, or disseminate propaganda, manipulation, or information intended to deceive, coerce, demoralise, or divide the people of Britain.

State communications shall be factual, proportionate, and strictly limited to informing the public of policy, law, or civic duty. Opinion, persuasion, or narrative control by any branch of government or by its agents, contractors, or subsidiaries is prohibited.

No department, public broadcaster, or State-funded entity shall engage in covert influence, censorship, or information warfare against the people or within domestic discourse. No funds shall be channelled to proxy groups, charities, or media organisations for the purpose of shaping or suppressing lawful public opinion.

Where information campaigns are lawfully conducted in the public interest—such as emergency warnings, health notices, or verified security communications—they must be plainly attributed, time-limited, and independently verifiable for factual accuracy. All such campaigns shall be logged on the national blockchain, showing source, cost, duration, approving officer, and evidential justification.

Any public officer or contractor who knowingly authorises, funds, or participates in domestic propaganda, censorship, or deception in violation of this Clause commits a grave breach of this Charter. Upon jury conviction, the penalty shall include permanent disqualification from public office, forfeiture of pension or contractual gain from the offence, and imprisonment proportionate to its severity.

Where such propaganda materially undermines public sovereignty or is intended to corrupt elections, provoke unlawful war, or suppress lawful dissent, it shall constitute treason under Clause 28 and, upon unanimous jury conviction, shall be punishable by the maximum penalty provided therein.

Clause 53 — Currency Debasement is Treason ¶

Any act of currency debasement—whether by dilution of gold reserves, inflationary over-issuance of Sovereign Pounds (SP) or Stable Sterling (SS), manipulation of redemption ratios, concealment of liabilities, or falsification of reserve attestations—shall constitute high treason against the people of Britain.

No person, institution, or officer of the State shall issue, pledge, or authorise the creation of money, credit, or derivative instruments not fully backed as prescribed by this Charter and recorded on the national blockchain. Any attempt to secretly inflate supply, impair convertibility, or falsify proof-of-reserves shall be a deliberate betrayal of national trust and sovereignty.

The duty to preserve the integrity of the currency shall bind all officers of the Treasury, central banking institutions, auditors, and contractors with financial authority. Each shall be personally and criminally liable for participation in, concealment of, or reckless disregard for any act of debasement.

Where monetary reform or redenomination is lawfully required by Parliament, it must occur only under open debate, public referendum, and full audit of reserves; any secret or unilateral alteration of backing, parity, or convertibility constitutes treason.

Upon unanimous jury conviction, those found guilty of currency debasement shall be punished by the maximum penalty provided under Clause 28. All gains derived therefrom shall be forfeit, and restitution made to the people through recalibration of the affected currency or reserves as directed by jury audit.

All proofs of issuance, redemption, and reserve holdings shall remain permanently available for public inspection and continuous cryptographic verification on the national blockchain.

Clause 54 — Service Levies for Non-Citizens ¶

Non-citizens lawfully residing, working, or conducting business within Britain may be charged fair service levies proportionate to their voluntary use of public infrastructure and services. Such levies shall not constitute taxation but recompense for access to the common wealth and protections of the Realm.

All service levies shall be assessed transparently, published in real time on the national blockchain, and applied only to clearly defined categories such as transport infrastructure, waste disposal, licensing, or temporary residence permits. No levy shall be imposed on essential humanitarian aid, emergency care, or lawful redress before a court.

Levies shall be equal in rate and calculation within their category, and shall not exceed the true cost of the service provided. No levy shall be used as a means of political discrimination, coercion, or revenue extraction.

For the purposes of this Clause, temporary visitors—including tourists, students, and short-term workers—shall be liable only for service levies directly arising from their voluntary and identifiable use of specific public facilities. Long-term resident metics may be subject to broader levies reflecting sustained access to public infrastructure and protection under British law, but never beyond the proportional cost of services actually received.

Revenue from such levies shall be ring-fenced for the maintenance and improvement of the services to which they pertain, and shall not enter the general treasury. Each levy shall be subject to public audit and review by jury at least once every five years to ensure fairness, proportionality, and conformity with this Charter.

Non-citizens shall retain the right to challenge any levy before a jury, and may recover unlawfully or excessively imposed sums together with damages where bad faith or profiteering is proven.

Any officer or authority imposing or concealing unlawful levies, or applying funds raised therefrom for unrelated purposes, shall be guilty of fiscal misconduct under Clause 56 and punishable accordingly.

Clause 55 — No Unfunded Mandates ¶

No law, regulation, order, or directive of the State shall impose duties, programmes, or expenditures upon any lower authority, public body, or private entity without providing explicit, sufficient, and lawful funding for their execution.

Any mandate enacted without concurrent and identifiable appropriation of funds shall be void and of no legal effect. Funding for such mandates must be appropriated openly within the same legislative instrument, clearly identifying the source, amount, and duration of funds on the national blockchain.

No department or minister may defer costs, transfer unfunded obligations, or disguise liabilities through accounting devices, off-book contracting, or retrospective appropriation. Any attempt to impose or conceal unfunded liabilities, or to compel compliance with them, shall constitute fiscal misconduct under Clause 56.

Local authorities and private entities may lawfully refuse compliance with any directive that lacks verified and sufficient funding as certified by blockchain record. Such refusal shall not constitute breach of duty or contract, nor may penalties or sanctions be applied for exercising this right.

Where the State imposes a mandate in good faith that later becomes underfunded due to unforeseen circumstances, the obligation to perform shall automatically pause until full funding is restored, unless voluntary local or private contributions are lawfully and transparently made to sustain the function.

Any officer, minister, or department found by jury to have imposed, concealed, or enforced an unfunded mandate shall be subject to restitution, removal from office, and imprisonment proportionate to the gravity of the offence, as prescribed by Clause 56.

Clause 56 — Penalties for Public Finance Corruption ¶

Corruption, embezzlement, or misappropriation of public funds shall result in forfeiture, disqualification from public office, and imprisonment upon jury conviction.

Likewise, any person, corporation, or other entity deriving profit within the Realm who conceals or transfers such profit abroad to evade lawful taxation shall be guilty of fiscal corruption against the nation.

Artificial profit-shifting, use of shell entities, or foreign invoicing designed to defer, disguise, or misstate tax liability shall constitute a grave breach of this Charter.

All cross-border transactions exceeding statutory thresholds shall be declared and recorded on the national blockchain, disclosing beneficial ownership, declared value, and the lawful tax treatment thereof.

Where concealment, falsification, or false reporting is proven, the proceeds shall be forfeit, and responsible officers or directors shall be subject to arrest and, upon jury conviction, imprisonment proportionate to the offence, together with permanent disqualification from public office or corporate management within the Realm.

Any officer, minister, or contractor of the State who knowingly participates in or conceals fiscal corruption, or obstructs its investigation, commits aggravated fiscal misconduct. Where such conduct materially endangers the solvency of the State, the lawful backing of currency, or the people’s financial sovereignty, it shall constitute fiscal treason under Clause 28 and, upon unanimous jury conviction, shall be punishable by the maximum penalty provided therein.

Citizens shall have standing to petition for a jury inquiry into any suspected fiscal corruption or corporate profit concealment. Failure of responsible authorities to convene such inquiry within ninety days shall itself constitute dereliction of duty and trigger automatic parliamentary review or recall as prescribed by statute.

Any attempt to intimidate, retaliate against, or obstruct a whistleblower or witness involved in a public-finance corruption case shall constitute a separate aggravated offence punishable by imprisonment, forfeiture of office, and permanent disqualification from public employment.

No claim of ministerial privilege, parliamentary immunity, or official secrecy shall exempt any person from jury oversight or prosecution under this Clause; the judgment of the jury, notwithstanding lawful appeal, shall be final in matters of fiscal guilt or innocence.

Clause 57 — No Hidden Taxes via Regulation ¶

Parliament, the Treasury, or any public authority shall not impose, create, or authorise any hidden, indirect, or disguised form of taxation by regulation, licence, administrative fee, or mandatory compliance cost. All imposts upon the people or upon enterprise must be expressly enacted by statute, clearly denominated as taxes, and recorded in the public accounts under this Article.

No agency, regulator, or delegated body may raise revenue through fines, surcharges, compliance charges, or service fees beyond the true and auditable cost of the service rendered. Any charge or penalty exceeding the cost of provision shall constitute an unlawful tax and a breach of this Charter.

All authorised charges must disclose on their face: (a) the statutory authority establishing them, (b) the department or officer responsible for collection, (c) the total expected annual revenue, and (d) the corresponding public service or account to which the proceeds are allocated. These disclosures shall be contemporaneously published on the national blockchain and auditable by any citizen without fee.

No regulatory agency or public body shall use fines, permits, or certification schemes as instruments of revenue generation, policy coercion, or political punishment. The power to levy fines shall exist solely as a deterrent or penalty for proven misconduct, and all proceeds shall be ring-fenced for restitution to victims or the repair of public harm caused by the offence, not as general revenue.

All so-called environmental charges, carbon taxes, offset credits, or equivalent imposts upon energy use, production, or transport are expressly forbidden. Stewardship of the natural environment is to be funded only through the general taxation authorised under Clause 39 and never through disguised levies, quotas, or speculative markets.

Where any tax, levy, or regulatory charge is discovered to have been imposed, collected, or disguised in violation of this Clause, it shall be void ab initio. Citizens shall have standing to seek restitution of unlawfully collected sums, together with damages, and those responsible for the imposition or concealment shall be guilty of fiscal misconduct under Clause 56 and punishable accordingly.

All lawful imposts shall conform to Clause 39; any regulation or instrument purporting to raise revenue outside those forms shall be void and treated as fiscal misconduct under Clause 56.

No ministerial privilege, delegated authority, or emergency power shall override this prohibition. The people alone, through Parliament acting transparently under this Charter, may consent to taxation.

Clause 58 — Open, Competitive, Published Tenders ¶

All State tenders, contracts, grants, and procurement agreements shall be conducted by open, competitive process and published in full on the national blockchain, including the call for tender, bidding submissions, evaluation criteria, award decision, contract terms, delivery milestones, payments, and completion reports.

All effort must be made to ensure government contracts are fulfilled by British corporations on British sovereign territory. Where this is demonstrably impracticable, every effort shall be made to ensure future contracts can be fulfilled domestically; necessary training, investment, or infrastructure shall be procured to achieve domestic capability, consistent with Clauses 119–122.

Where disclosure of specific contract details would endanger life, national security, or the lawful operation of intelligence or enforcement activity, such secrecy must be authorised by a judge on sworn evidence and immediately referred to a secrecy-review jury in accordance with Clause 42. The existence of the contract, its total value, duration, approving authority, and classification date shall nonetheless be published on the national blockchain as an aggregated “sensitive State procurement” entry with an encrypted reference hash linking to the sealed record. All secrecy authorisations shall be temporary and time-limited. The secrecy-review jury shall have full access to all supporting records and may order partial or full disclosure where it finds the claim of secrecy excessive or unlawful.

All secrecy authorisations shall expire within a maximum of thirty years unless renewed under fresh sworn evidence reviewed before a new secrecy jury. All payments under any contract shall be recorded on the national blockchain in real time, identifying the recipient entity, amount, authorising officer, and linked budget line. No portion of any payment may be made to undisclosed beneficial owners or to unregistered subcontractors.

Collusion, bid-rigging, bribery, or covert influence in public tenders shall constitute aggravated fiscal corruption under Clause 56. Those convicted by jury shall forfeit all gain, be permanently disqualified from public contracting, and be imprisoned proportionate to the gravity of the offence.

Any citizen may inspect or query the blockchain record of any public contract or tender and shall have standing to petition for a jury inquiry into suspected irregularity, secrecy abuse, or fraud. Failure to convene such an inquiry within ninety days shall itself constitute dereliction of duty under this Charter.

Clause 59 — Protect Public-Finance Whistleblowers ¶

Any citizen, officer, employee, or contractor of the State who, in good faith, exposes fiscal corruption, embezzlement, misappropriation, concealment, or other criminal misuse of public funds shall be recognised as a public-finance whistleblower and protected by law.

Whistleblowers acting in good faith and not themselves implicated in the criminal enterprise shall be immune from civil, criminal, or disciplinary action arising solely from the disclosure of wrongdoing. Retaliation, harassment, dismissal, or professional blacklisting of whistleblowers or their associates shall constitute aggravated obstruction of justice and a grave breach of this Charter.

Where a whistleblower suffers professional, financial, or personal harm as a result of lawful disclosure, they shall be entitled to a Whistleblower’s Stipend—a temporary income replacement or pension supplement—funded from the recovered proceeds of the corruption they exposed, or from a designated national transparency fund recorded on the blockchain. The stipend shall continue for as long as necessary to offset demonstrable economic loss or professional exclusion directly arising from the act of disclosure.

All whistleblower reports shall be recorded on the national blockchain, pseudonymously where necessary to protect identity, and verified through jury audit. The authenticity, evidential chain, and disposition of each report shall be permanently auditable.

Any person or authority who knowingly retaliates against, intimidates, or obstructs a whistleblower, or who interferes with the investigation of a verified report, shall upon jury conviction forfeit their office and be imprisoned proportionate to the gravity of the offence.

Whistleblowers found to have fabricated evidence or made knowingly false allegations shall be subject to the same penalties prescribed for perjury and malicious prosecution, without diminishing lawful protections for honest mistake or good-faith misjudgment.

Citizens shall have standing to petition for the restoration or protection of whistleblowers denied due process or stipend. The jury shall be the final arbiter of the whistleblower’s good faith and entitlement.

Clause 60 — Annual Blockchain-Verifiable National Audit ¶

The national accounts shall be closed annually and subjected to a full, independent audit verifiable on the national blockchain. The audit shall encompass all revenues, expenditures, contracts, reserves, liabilities, and contingent obligations of the State, including but not limited to sovereign wealth funds, gold holdings, Bitcoin and digital-asset reserves, and all other strategic stores of value or emergency supply.

All proofs of reserve, reconciliation statements, and audit findings shall be recorded immutably on-chain in a standard, machine-readable format accessible to all citizens without fee. Each audited account shall include (a) opening balance, (b) receipts, (c) expenditures, (d) adjustments, and (e) closing balance, certified by independent auditors sworn to impartiality and operating under jury oversight.

Auditors shall be selected by open, competitive tender in accordance with Clause 58 and confirmed by jury-certified qualification to ensure independence from the Treasury or political influence. The audit process shall include a full cryptographic proof-of-reserves verification for all digital assets and a physical verification of all tangible reserves, including precious metals, strategic materials, and stored energy assets.

Should an appointed auditor become unable to fulfil its duties, a replacement shall be drawn by lot from the pool of qualified independent auditors within thirty days to prevent interruption of the national audit.

Where discrepancies, concealment, or falsification are discovered, the accounts in question shall be suspended pending a forensic jury review, and all responsible officers or contractors shall be subject to removal, forfeiture of gain, and prosecution under Clause 56.

The finalised national accounts, auditor attestations, and jury confirmations shall be published as a single immutable on-chain record titled the Annual Ledger of the Realm, forming the definitive public statement of the State’s fiscal condition for that year.

Citizens shall have standing to query, challenge, or independently verify any portion of the national audit through blockchain-based verification tools. Failure to complete or publish the national audit within twelve months of the fiscal year’s end shall automatically trigger a parliamentary review and, if not remedied within ninety days, a general election.

All persons or entities maintaining State ledger infrastructure shall act as public trustees bound by oath to impartiality; interference with ledger operation constitutes fiscal misconduct under 56.

The purpose of this Clause is to guarantee permanent fiscal accountability, protect the citizens’ Charter right to fair dealing in all financial matters, and ensure that no government may conceal, falsify, or manipulate the wealth of the British people.

To ensure continuity, resilience, and protection against disaster or tampering, cryptographically verifiable mirrors of the Annual Ledger of the Realm shall be maintained in multiple secure allied jurisdictions, including at least one neutral nation renowned for financial and archival integrity, such as Switzerland. Such mirrors shall store only encrypted ledger data sufficient for public verification, not identifying citizen or operational details, and shall be refreshed automatically with each annual audit. Any attempt to alter or obstruct these redundant records shall constitute fiscal treason under Clause 28.

Clause 61 — Voluntary Funding; No Local Tax Beyond PAYE ¶

Local government shall be funded solely through voluntary local tithes as provided in Clauses 62 and 63, and through lawful allocations from the proportional PAYE contributions established under Clause 39. No local authority, council, or agency shall impose any tax, levy, surcharge, licence, or compulsory payment beyond those expressly authorised under Clause 39. All local funding shall remain voluntary or contractual in nature, based on the free consent of residents and enterprises. Local services may receive allocations from State revenue only within the balanced-budget and transparency provisions of Article II; all receipts, disbursements, and allocations shall be recorded in real time on the national blockchain and publicly auditable. Any attempt to disguise taxation as a fee, charge, permit, or other impost without explicit contractual consent shall constitute fiscal fraud and a breach of this Charter, punishable upon jury conviction by removal from office and imprisonment proportionate to the gravity of the offence.

Clause 62 — Voluntary Tithes (Blockchain) ¶

Local services shall be funded by voluntary tithes of residents, recorded on the blockchain.

Clause 63 — Designate Tithes by Service ¶
