Article II — The Imperium, Constitutional Continuity, Unity, and Supreme Law
Imperial Code §§ 102.201–102.299
Section 1. The Aksum Imperium
Imperial Code § 102.201
- The formal constitutional name of the sovereign polity governed by this Constitution is the United Dominion of the Aksum Imperium.
- In ordinary law, government, diplomacy, public records, and official usage, the polity may be styled the Aksum Imperium.
- The authorized short name is the Imperium.
- The United Dominion of the Aksum Imperium is one continuous, sovereign, permanent, and indivisible Imperial polity united beneath the Imperial Crown.
- The Imperium possesses the constitutional character of the Sovereignty of Sovereignties, joining the Imperial Crown, the Sovereign Great Houses, the High Kingdoms, the Domains, and all other constituent authorities within one supreme Imperial order.
- The Dominion means the single sovereign whole formed by the Domains beneath the Imperial Crown. Use of the singular term Dominion does not establish or restore the abolished territorial Dominion tier.
- The present constitutional era is the Tenth Imperium.
- The Tenth Imperium is neither a separate state nor a successor state. It is the present constitutional era of the same continuing Aksum Imperium.
- No omission, silence, delegation, distribution of authority, or general constitutional provision shall diminish the inherent or reserved powers of the Imperial Crown merely by implication.

Imperial Code § 102.202
- The Aksum Imperium is permanently united and indivisible.
- No High Kingdom, territory, regency, constituent government, Sovereign Great House, Order, institution, people, community, or other part of the Imperium possesses any right or authority to secede, withdraw, partition itself from, or unilaterally separate from the Imperium.
- No Imperial officer, council, court, territorial government, House, Order, commander, or subordinate authority may authorize, recognize, negotiate, facilitate, or assist any attempted secession, withdrawal, partition, or unilateral separation.
- No amendment, decree, judgment, treaty, grant, charter, compact, or other instrument may lawfully authorize the dissolution of the Imperium or impair its permanent unity and indivisibility.
- Any act or instrument purporting to authorize or accomplish such dissolution, secession, withdrawal, partition, or separation is void from its inception and without constitutional force.
