The Grundordnung (Basic rules), fully Die gianlucische Grundordnung (The Gianlucian basic rules), is the current constitution of the Federal Republic of GI-Land. It was adopted in 1954, replacing the constitution of the Gianlucian Empire of 1935, effectively ending the dictatorship of XXX.
The most characteristic trait of the constitution is the reinstallment of a monarch, partly still dictatorial system alongside democracy, in which yy fundamental rights are entrenched. It also has provisions at hand for a peaceful and slow transition from the so-called "dictatorial democratic" system into a "true democratic" system. Additionally, learning from mistakes made in history, the Grundordnung assures, the constitution cannot get amended and replaced as easily anymore as the constitution of the Gianlucian Empire of 1890 was prior to the dictatorship of XXX.
The last amendment to the constitution was passed by the Königspalast on 26 August 2020, when the right to one's personal data was added to the fundamental rights.
