The DUTML has recently published a Constitution, which is considered additional to the laws of the DUTML, which have not been published. It is full of squiggles, which were PM Frit's idea to make it look pretty and have been removed to avoid it confusing the Wiki pages, and has not been published on the main CYOC because it's rather too long.
