The full name of the Realm is "The Kingdom of TorHavn". The short form of the State's name is "TorHavn". The three-letter abbreviation is TOR.

The Kingdom of TorHavn is a sovereign, absolute monarchy. This Codex Rex, as ratified by the Crown, is deemed the ultimate law of the Kingdom.

An absolute monarchy is one where the Monarch not only reigns, but rules as well, a Feudatory Realm, where the Monarch is its head, who rules and governs by decree, edict, orders-in-council and statutes, (eventually) aided by Twin Houses of Council.

TorHavn shall be ruled by twin Monarchs at all times, whether they be King(s) or Queen(s), and whether or not Partnered to one another or not (c.f.) --- due to the fact that (1) two [crowned] heads are better than one; (2) to better share in the burdens of monarchy (whatever they be); (3) Other Kingdoms have been ruled by twin Monarchs; so shall we.

1. Presently, TorHavn's "territorial kingdom" will be limited to embassies established in other nations granting formal (active or passive) diplomatic recognition to TorHavn, until such time as we buy or are granted lands to pursue the intermediary goal of an intentional community which demonstrates the benefits of (a) a monarchist governmental system, and (b) an ecological community that seeks the "minimum solution".

2. Currently, TorHavn does not claim any territory or part thereof currently claimed or administered by another nation; therefore, we have no transnational disputes (whether or not pending).

3. This does not mean, however, that (dire) circumstances allowing, We may not or shall not ever claim any land(s) previously claimed or administered by any other nation. If, in the course of human events, or if catastrophe occurs, and such land(s) are either ceded to TorHavn, or abandoned by said nation(s), or if bought by the Crown, TorHavn shall not hesitate to place it in Her loving hands.

4. THEREFORE: LET IT BE KNOWN BY ALL HERE PRESENT THAT, once this DOES occur, we shall not so easily give it up again, but instead We shall prove, beyond any doubt, that we were meant to care for these lands. While circumstances will have to be dire for us to take, not buy, we are confident that Day shall come. We shall wait; We can be patient.

5. As this nation presently exists within the boundaries of another, TorHavn officially recognizes that we must, at this time, temper our Policies & Principles by the laws of the nation within which we reside. we do understand that some of our Principles (Laws & Covenants) are mitigated & held in abeyance by the current laws of that state & country.

1. To properly administer to the needs of the Kingdom, nongeographic divisions shall be established within the Kingdom. These shall be called Shires, in the age old fashion of Kingdoms past. Citizens are encouraged to participate as fully as possible in the affairs of their Shire, and to inform the Bureau of Communications the events and news of their part of the Kingdom. In such a way shall the Kingdom of TorHavn be kept informed on behalf of its Citizens.

2. In honor of the non-territorial origins & current situation of the Kingdom, these Shires shall remain to a great extent ephemeral. At the moment when TorHavn establishes landed sovereignty, baronies & duchies, in addition to these Shires shall also be establshed.

3. The population of the Kingdom shall be divided into eight Shires, symbolic of the entire Earth and six mainland continents; a seventh Shire, representing any geographical island, including England, Hawaii, BUT NOT AUSTRALIA, and including Antartica (on that day when Antartica is claimed and administered by a separate power) will be established. Also: on that grand & glorious day when outerspace is settled and administered by nation-states or city-states, an eighth Shire, representing this area, shall be also establshed.

4. Upon becoming a citizen of the Kingdom a person shall be assigned to a particular Shire by the Seneschal. The assignment of citizens shall be in a manner to keep the population of the various Shires as equal as is possible and shall not consider the identity, gender, religion, creed, or origins of the citizen, nor shall any other factor influence the Seneschal in the assignment of citizens to Shires.

5. In exception to the above, spouses shall be assigned to the same Shire, as shall minor children. On their fifteenth birthday minor children are assigned to a Shire of residence at the discretion of the Seneschal.

6. The Royal Families shall be part of no Shire and shall not participate in voting for the Council. This shall neither limit the status of their citizenship in the Kingdom nor their ability to vote in elections for the Senate.

1. The population of a Shire shall be administered by a Governor appointed directly by the Co-Monarchs.

3. Citizens of a Shire may petition their Governor concerning their particular concerns. The Governor must respond within one month unless the petition asks for an investigation into the commission of a crime or the denial of a citizen's rights; in those cases the Governor or his designated officer(s) must begin an investigation within one week.

4. Citizens can likewise petition the Co-Monarchs concerning their Governor. The Co-Monarch must respond within one month unless the petition asks for an investigation into the commission of a crime or the denial of a citizen's rights by the Governor; in those cases the Co-Monarchs and the Minister of State or the Co-Monarch's officer(s) must begin an investigation within one week.
