What confirms the power of your leader?

[Nasbotwa]

The Grand Duke is Nasbotwa's sovereign because God bestowed upon his family the duty to rule. His father was Grand Duke and his father's father and his father's uncle etc. Century-old legitimacy, I'd say.

[The Rossinite Empire]

Parliamentary approval for new heirs and heiresses are required as well as inauguration by coronation by the Church of the Rossinites. Plus a unanimous consensus by the Upper House and the Rossinite Council.

[Carena]

The candidate who receives the majority of votes in an instant runoff election is inaugurated as President.

[Rhodevus]

The power of the leader is confirmed by the loyalty of the people. While the leader of the country is a monarch, the monarch is non-hereditary, and chosen from the populace by the senate and the previous ruler. If the ruler loses the loyalty of the people, it is within their right to replace him/her.

Traditionally, the power of the leader is derived from the crown s/he wears, which comes from the true ruler of the country, the Sould Tree, the oldest tree in Rhodevus, and the mythical birthplace of life according to native lore.

[Vallermoore]

Officially, the leader leads through a Parliamentary majority.

Unofficially, the ruler, a sapient pony named Clever One ,rules through the Decepticon Way of force, guile, and showing himself to rule well. His cutie mark, a gleaming, glittering Decepticon seal, displays his true loyalty.

[The Federation of Kendor]

In our nation, the President is elected for a five year term, and there can be two terms. This is written in the Constitution.

[Calm waves]

The correct is not Leader, but Council-Mor
In Calm Waves, the power of the Council-Mor, set of 22 councilors representing each of the 22 provinces of the country, is guaranteed via the National Constitution that governs the electoral organization totally free and without the partisan bureaucracy or something similar.

[Quaxoglia]

We are a constitutional monarchy. The constitution confirms the power to rule.

[Aldina]

Aldina is technically an elective monarchy; the Emperor is elected for life by a council of Electors. Theoretically any freeman could be elected Emperor (a distinction that became moot with the abolition of serfdom); in practice, nearly every Emperor has come from the dynastic House of Aldent, with the Electors merely confirming the Aldents' succession.

[Socialista Libertario]

The constitution guarantees the election and position of the President. Elections are held every four years.

The Charter of Establishment gives the King the power to rule.

[Kostemetsia]

The President is elected by the people. Candidates go through a Parliamentary endorsement process.

The First Councilor is the leader of the largest party in the Parliament.

[Zartobania]

The position for Guiding Chief of the Great Revolution is hereditary, therefore Erika Katalinya Wariwarichowski, a member of the ruling Wariwarichowski family, currently holds that position. Meanwhile, the sacred divine position of Eternal Guiding Father of the Great Revolution is posthumously held only by Founding Revolutionary Father and Shining Aurora of the Northern Hemisphere Markov Kiriskaya Wariwarichowski (may his grace and strength rule over Zartobania for all of eternity).

[Ashkera]

The position and capabilities of the Oversight Council of the Cooperative Technocratic State are established in the Constitution of 1918, affirming their previous position under the Greater Ashkera Joint Reconstruction Authority.

Of course, true power is de facto, not de jure, but who dares challenge the "immortal" and "faceless" Oversight Councillor One, whose very identity is steeped in mystery?

Well, Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa IS a noble and a ridiculously powerful holy being who defeated The Devil, so yea
