Welcome to the official archive of Royal Decrees, the proclamations of the Office of the Emperor. Decrees are issued monthly, reviewed by the Pickle Steering Committee, and binding on no one.
Each decree is the product of a rigorous drafting process involving stakeholder interviews, cheese governance review, and at least one ceremonial trumpet. Topics range from seasonal menu realignments and burger safety advisories to landmark white papers on flavor optimization. Citizens are encouraged to read every decree in full, or at minimum to skim the headings with an expression of quiet respect.
For seasonal proclamations only, consult the Seasonal Decrees archive.
Decrees are listed below in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent proclamation is always closest to the Emperor. Older decrees remain in force until superseded, forgotten, or eaten. Please note that some decrees may be accompanied by images of cheeseburgers that appear slightly too perfect; this is consistent with our burger-imaging policy.
