	The '''Constitution of [[Rauratoshan]]''' is a constitutional document. It ~~is being drafted~~ by {{galaxysys\|Nozomi\|Quing Regent Nozomi I}} in 2025.		The '''Constitution of [[Rauratoshan]]''' is a constitutional document. It was written by {{galaxysys\|Nozomi\|Quing Regent Nozomi I}} and became law on [[List of holidays in Rauratoshan\|Unity Day]] 2025.

	The main and most controversial aspect of this constitution is that it establishes a legislative parliament. This was seen as a compromise between the governmental structures of Rauratoshan and [[Elemental City]], and use of this model was also swayed by the apparent tenacity of the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]], a constitutional monarchy native to Nguhcraft which has stood the test of time and committed itself to many grand works, such as founding the [[United Ŋations]].
