Ossbosche Assembly

The Ossbosche Assembly is the one of two assemblies which make up the Council of Akaria, the other assembly being the Kadrike Assembly. The assembly consists of 39 elected ossbosches. Each osslette in Akaria has one ossbosche who represents their osslette in the assembly. The ossbosches are elected by the udenbosches in their osslette.

History

The Ossbosche Assembly came into existence on 30-3 591 TT through Arikarin's 715th Dictate following the Able War. At its creation, the assembly was composed of the ossbosches of the existing osslettes and was granted the power to veto any living dictate issued by the living king via a two-thirds vote. It also described a living dictate as "any written order given by the Living King outside of his prescribed powers." The ossbosches themselves were also given greater protection from the Living King, with the king now no longer being able to remove them from their positions. They were put in control of officialising the living dictates (they had five days to officialise a dictate after it was given to them) and could veto a dictate prior to officialisation with a two-thirds vote.

The veto requirement was changed from a two-thirds vote to a three-fifths vote on 1-8 25 TT via Bantar's 1st Dictate.

On 4-2 3 PC Harakar Oken with the support of the majority of the Council of Akaria issued Harakar's 10th Dictate barring members of the Arkara from serving as ossbosches. Four days later Kamakta Arkara, Leader of the Arkara declared the Arkara's defiance of the dictate beginning the Arkara Uprising of 3 PC. The assembly asked for assistance from the Harakar Oken who sent the Living Army to put down the uprising. Peace was achieved on 24-3 3 PC with the Arkara agreeing to step down from their positions in exchange for amnesty.
