How is the leader(s) of your nation chosen?

Postby Tyrandel » Sun Nov 23, 2014 12:58 am

What system is used to select your nation's next leader or leaders?
If a monarchy, what are the rules of primogeniture?
If a democracy, are you direct or representative? Is there an Electoral College?
If a dictatorship, is there a next-in-line or likely successor of the current leader?
And so on.




In Tyrandel, there are three generally accepted leaders.

First, is the Sarrum or Emperor. The Sarrum is the undisputed master of the Inner and Outer Imperial Territories, which combined take about about 70% of Tyrandel's landmass. The Sarrum acts primarily as a Supreme Commander, leading both the Imperial Legions and the Imperial Guards. When the current Sarrum dies, it is expected that the different High Commanders of the Legions & Guards will fight each other to become the next Sarrum. It is expected that one of the Legion's High Commanders will take power, if only because Imperial Legionaries are considerably more heavily armed than Imperial Guards. Overall, there are more Guards than Legionaries. However, the same amount of soldiers falls under a single High Commander in both the Legion and the Guards. Therefore, only if the Imperial Guards were united would they have an actual numerical advantage over the Legions.

Second, is the Rubutum or Grand Prince. The Rubutum is the leader of the Trade Authority, which is the major power behind the Confederation of Princes - the largest by population and most developed region of Tyrandel. The Confederation is composed of various independent Princely Cities, which are ruled alongside their attached Fiefdoms by the Princes (or Malkutu). Whichever Prince has the most prosperous city is the Rubutum.

Third, is the Enusartennum or High Censor. The Enusartennum is the leader of the Censorate, an independent organization charged with investigating and counteracting corruption (primarily amongst the Princes). It is second only to the Trade Authority in influencing the Confederation of Princes. The Enusartennum is elected by the Conclave, a group appointed by the previous Enusartennum in their will. This will is constantly updated by the Enusartennum. Often a Conclave will elect one of their own, but not always.

The consuls are chosen by the High Court from among its number.

The High Court is made up of the heads of the Houses of Elvion, known as the Masters of Houses. The Masters are formally elected by the members of their Houses. In some Houses the position of Master is de facto hereditary and passed down within one senior family (although Elvonines live for hundreds to thousands of years, so it's not that big a deal).

The title of Emperor of the Imperium of Albaie passes from the current Emperor upon his death to his closest eligible next of kin. If the Emperor has at least one son then he inherits if there are more than one the eldest inherits. If the Emperor has only daughters then the eldest is allowed to inherit as long as her children are born into the house Dubrack Dubrackson if not then the inheritance passes to the next eligible daughter. If the Emperor has no legitimate or eligible offspring the inheritance tracks back one generation and then goes through the motions of finding a new heir if there is none under that Emperor's offspring the process continues. If the heir apparent to the throne dies before his ascension to the throne his offspring if he has any are still included in the line of succession and upon the Emperor's death his son technically becomes Emperor but as he is dead a new succession takes place with his offspring. Any children born out of wedlock are instantly removed from the line of succession and members can disqualify themselves but this has to be publicly done and can't be retracted.

We have a semi-Presidential system.

The Head of State is elected directly by the voting public (anyone 16+ years of age). This is done using an approval voting system. One may cast up to one vote for as many candidates as one wishes.

There is no electoral college, but we aren't opposed to that concept.

The position of Emperor of Exxosia is a semi-hereditary role. Those who have passed rigorous training and testing may apply to become members of the Exxosian Advisory Council, the primary analysis and advising network for the Emperor. From this council, which often has a high number of members of the House of Exxos within it due to unavoidable power concentration and hence the semi-hereditary role, the Emperor grooms a number of successors, gradually reducing the number to three heirs-apparent. When the Emperor passes, his first choice assumes the mantle of Emperor. If the new Emperor passes or abdicates within five years, the second choice assumes the mantle of Emperor. If the second choice passes or abdicates within five years, the third choice ascends to the throne. If the third choice passes or abdicates within five years, a special election is held amongst the entirety of the members of the Exxosian Advisory Council and the people vote through an instant run-off method to select a new set of three Emperors for the sequence to begin again.

After the Emperor has established themselves after five years, they take on the honorific name of Exxos von Steamboldt in sequence. There are no special naming conventions, rules, or allowances for female or transgender Emperors.

The Prime Minister is elected by Parliament, the members of which are in turn elected once every three years to represent a number of single-member constituencies via the first-past-the-post system.

The Prime Minister is almost always the leader of the governing party or coalition, and must retain the confidence of the House of Peasants in order to continue serving.

The Monarchy is a hereditary role, which is passed down the male line - currently there has never been a female Monarch.

Itali is a Fascist dictatorship, and ordinarily the successor is appointed by the incumbent Duce (currently Italo Debalti) and this appointment is ratified by the Political Directory of the Grand Council of Fascism, which is at the same time the central committee of the ruling party and the upper house of the Parliament. When a Chief of State fails to appoint ant get the ratification of a successor, the Grand Council acclaims a successor, likely after a period of political intrigue. In such cases, the provisional head of state is the chairman of the Political Directory of the PNF.

The Imperial heir is usually the eldest male descendent. The Habsburg monarchy's succession laws are based on agnatic male-preference primogeniture.

The State Chancellor is appointed when his or her party wins the election and the chancellor is the head of the party.

Either by the word of the current leader or from the League of Communists since most of our leaders rule until death or they chose to resign. The current leader can chose anyone he wishes to succeed him whether it be someone from his family, the league of communists or even a citizen but the chosen person still has to be a member of the League of Communists since Krajstali is a single-party state the leader would have to be the General Secretary of the League of Communists. The person chosen is given a background check and has a period of time (Likely in weeks or months) for them to succeed.

If the current ruler does not state a successor then the LoC are most likely to chose a candidate to lead the nation or wait for a certain period of time for a contender.In most cases a lot of the leaders (actually only two) are self appointed since the founder of the Krajstalian SFR had created his Position and his successor had been self-appointed since the government was on the brink of collapse and he was most likely to be chosen anyway.

The head of state, the Yann, is elected by, and from the chiefs of staffs. The Yann is the highest ranking military officer, and has no political powers.

The head of government, the Bondskansëlír, is a position that rotates every 6 months among the heads of governments, the Landskansëlírs, of the constituent states, who are themselves appointed by their respective state parliaments, whose members are in turn elected by the state populations.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.
