Legislation in Corvinia is by rescript, issued by the Prince. As of this date, few such decrees have been issued:
Rescript no. 1, issued July 2, 1997, institutes the Grand and Noble Order of the Raven, an order of knighthood, membership in which constitutes the highest distinction in the realm. The membership is limited to 73 knights: the Grand Raven (which office is always held by the Prince), eight Knights Commander, and sixty-four Knights. The decree also establishes the abbreviations KCR (for Knight Commander of the Order of the Raven) and KR (for Knight of the Order of the Raven), to be used in titulations. The order does not distinguish between male and female in titulations - all members are "knights".
Rescript no. 2, issued July 2, 1997, institutes the Noble Order of the Penguin, an order of knighthood, membership in which is almost but not quite as distinguished as membership in the Grand and Noble Order of the Raven. The membership in the order is limited to 73 knights: the Grand Penguin (the decree names Her Highness Princess Lone to the title), eight Knights Commander and sixty-four Knights, the abbreviations for which are KCP and KP, respectively. As with the order of the Raven, there are no distinctions made between male and female knights.
Rescript no. 3, issued July 2, 1997, makes it a crime to play, discuss, endorse, depict, or otherwise encourage the game commonly known as "soccer" or "european rules football", within the territories and dominions of Corvinia. Individuals found in violation of this edict may be subject to exile for a term from the Principality, or, in extreme cases, revocation of citizenship.
Rescript no. 4, issued July 4, 1997, makes it a crime to trespass upon the Rødsand skerries, which territory is declared an animal preserve, in order to protect the seals that breed thereon.
Rescript no. 5, issued November 4, 1997, sanctions the formation of an approved society or lodge, to be named Societas Corviniensis, or the Corvinia Society. The purpose of the society is to encourage social activities among Corvinian citizens, as well as sympathetic non-citizens.
Rescript no. 6, issued November 4, 1997, institutes the Meritorious Conduct Medal, to be issued a maximum of 5 times a year to deserving individuals, for meritorious conduct in the interests of Corvinia. The medal may be awarded to the same person repeatedly, in which case the second award is of the "Meritorious Conduct Medal in the Second Degree", and so forth. Individuals honoured with the medal have the right to append the abbreviation MCM to their name.
Rescript no. 7, issued March 6, 1998, institutes the Noble Order of the Tufted Duck, an order of knighthood, membership in which is almost but not quite as distinguished as membership in the Noble Order of the Penguin. The membership in the order is limited to 73 knights: the Grand Tufted Duck (the decree names His Highness Prince Lucas to the title), eight Knights Commander and sixty-four Knights, the abbreviations for which are KCTD and KTD, respectively. As with the orders of the Raven and the Penguin, there are no distinctions made between male and female knights.
For the duration of the minority of the present Grand Master, the duties of that office will be performed by a Warden. The rescript names HCH Prince Peter I Ravn to act in that capacity.
Rescript no. 8, issued June 14, 1998, forbids Corvinian subjects the practice of espionage or sabotage. Misrepresentation of identity in order to infiltrate another nation's citizenry is specifically prohibited, and government agencies are prohibited from supporting such actions.
Any transgressions against this rescript will be viewed as acts of treason, and punished severely.
