The federation have always described itself as an absolute multinational monarchy were the king rules supreme with the aid of the advisories made up with noblemen and women at the top and the commoners at the bottom. The advisories however do not have the power to act without the blessing and approval of a king (however which one do not matter and some tasks do they carry out on the order of the first kings) the lack of a central government is compensated by high noblemen and women that rule each "realm" in the name of the king with the aid of the local nobility and the advisories stations in their realm. The king however have the authority and power to overrule and even contradict a direct decision made by the ruling noble in each realm and if he do not think the nobleman rules in the best interest of the federation so can he have him replaced. This is baked up with a heraldry system were all positions of power are inherited and the sons and daughters of the men and women in the middle do tend to take up their father or mother's work when they are too old to keep on going.

Supreme power is vested in a legislature, the Assembly of the Alied States. It has 200 members and is elected in November of even numbered years.

The legislature doesn't meet too often, so they normally delegate their powers to the President of the Allied States, who also serves as presiding officer of the Assembly. Every thing the President does is subject to approval by the legislature, but normally, the legislature doesn't bother to exercise this power.

There is also a Supreme Judicial Council. Normally, the Assembly annually chooses one legal expert from one of the Allied States to join the Council. It's a lifetime appointment unless a member decides to retire. The one exception was in the 1st Assembly when three legal experts were appointed. The Council can have no less than three members.

There are also various systems of government in the states, but it would take too long to describe them all.

Republic, but very constitutionally limited to the point where, no matter what anyone votes, it makes little difference. Virtually every issue is defined on some level by the constitution (the Creed of Laissez-Faire)... or, that is, NOT defined: the nation, a minarchy, limits the role of government so that it may not interfere with life. The role of the government is defined SOLELY as the defense of individual liberty (the right to self sovereignty).

The Commonwealth of Arnani is a republic. However, it is different from other republics in that it's President has more power than most. The Government can't touch the economy, except when it's in a full blown Great Bloody Depression and it'll collapse if nothing happens, but that hasn't happened in over 200 years. On most matters, the President has to get things through the Senate, but on matters of defence and war, he has absolute control. The President and Senators are elected every five years, with an unlimited number of terms. So if the President does things the people want, he'll stay in office longer. However, this means minorities are very under-represented, because they have less votes.

The Crown
The monarchy is constitutional and hereditary under the Salic law.
The Emperor is the Supreme Head of State and of Church of the Empire. The Sovereign maintains a certain rule and exercises executive power through the ministers who should receive the confidence of the House of Peers. He has the power of confirmation of laws and by confirmiming them, he judges on the merit of the act. He may reject the law if it is considered unresponsive at Political pursued by the Crown.
The will of the Emperor has the force of law, but that power was conferred by the People and the House of Peers by the Law of Coronation: therefore his power and authority are based on the laws and on their respect.
The Emperor is also the Supreme Lord Feudal, ensuring protection and conservation of the feuds, both princely and allodial not princely.

House of Peers
The House of Peers and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Empire and is usually called "Lords".
The House of Peers it the legislative competence with the sovereign, institutional review, policy orientation of the government competing with the Sovereign and the supreme judicial function.
Membership in the House of Peers is the birthright of hereditary peers, partly mitigated by the right of appointment for life and participation rights of some figures.

Government of the Empire
The Prime Minister of the Empire is the political leader and head of government of the empire. The Prime Minister, against the entire government, is considered primus super peers.
Determines and directs the general policy of the government and is responsible. Contributes to the definition address the State's policy with the Emperor and under the control of the House of Peers. The Prime Minister and the Government are collectively responsible for policy and their actions in front of the Sovereign, the House of Peers and the Empire in general. Particularly sensitive function that the law relies directly to the Prime Minister has supervision and control over information system and security.
The government of the empire should enjoy the confidence of peers and jointly Emperor.

ML is a constitutional monarchy with a bicameral government - and both houses are voted for by the public (for the House of Commons, ML is split up into 731 constituencies, whilst the House of Lords has 83 seats - one for each county).
Please note that Mid Lothian is based on fantasy. Any references to anything/one/where that exists is completely coincidential.
Frequently used abbreviations: HoS = Head of State; HoG = Head of Government; ML = Mid Lothian; KSS - Kate Stephens-Smith.
Fancy an embassy in ML? Click me for details. (PS - I'll return the favour.)
I am usually rewriting stuff about Mid Lothian - just because it's true today isn't necessarily true tomorrow.

Royal Family

The Franco family is the official dynasty of the Royal Republican State and has been since the current governmental form was adopted in 1714. The current monarch is Empress María Franco, and has been since 1975. The monarch's powers are mostly ceremonial, though Royal Assent is needed for any bill to pass (this can be overturned in Parliament); she is also head of the Privy Council, the monarch's council for exercising her powers.

Her husband is Emperor Nigel Franco, an Irish commoner that she married in 1971.

She has a sister and two brothers (and is the eldest of them all.) Her sister is Vicereine Florentina Franco, the Regent; her two brothers are Viceroys Alejandro and Mario Franco. Her mother was an Italian, and her father was a Catalan-Spanish Miracordian and the previous ruler, José Franco.

Nigel and María have three children- the Crown Princess, Miranda Franco (born 1991); the elder Princess, Crístina Franco (born 1994); and the youngest of them all, Princess Carmen Franco (born 1997). The couple didn't have Miranda until he was 41 and she 46, so it's kind of odd for any culture because the adults are all so old.

Executive Branch

The executive branch is headed by the Premier, currently Llorenç Josep de Gonia (since 2002). If the government is not defeated beforehand (Westminster system in play), a new Premier is chosen from Parliament every four years. The Premier is always the head of the majority party in Parliament, and can be a member of either house. The party heads are elected every four years by party members.

The Premier chooses, with consultation from the monarch, the Ministers of the Cabinet of Ministers. They are always MPs, just like the Premier. They can be fired at any time by the Premier, but this has not been exhibited often and there are restrictions on what constitutes as grounds for dismissal from their ministerial posts.

The following ministries currently make up the Cabinet.

  • Cabinet Office
  • Interior Office
  • Foreign Affairs Office
  • Finance Office
  • Defense Office
  • Environment Office
  • Wildlife Service Office
  • Commerce Office
  • Education Office
  • Agriculture Office
  • Aquaculture Office
  • Health Office
  • Development Office
  • Transport Office
  • Energy Office
  • Postal Office

Legislative Branch

The legislature is the bicameral Parliament, composed of the 518-member Congress of Representatives and the 312-member Federal Assembly. Of the seats that are elected, a majority-voting system is used.

The CoR's membership is determined by population. Each group of 250,000 people gets a seat. As there are 129.36 million residents of Miracordia, there are 518 representatives elected every four years. This house has grown from a mere 53 seats to 518 in 296 years.

The FA's membership is determined by how many prefectures (second-level administrative divisions) there are. As there are currently 156 prefectures, there are 312 deputies- two per prefecture, one elected every four years and one appointed by the Prefect every four years. This house has grown from a mere 48 seats to 312 in 296 years.

Judicial Branch

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, composed of five arbiters led by a Lord Chancellor appointed for life or until resignation by the monarch. This number has always been the same.

Privy Council

The Privy Council is mentioned above. It is composed of 33 members, 1 per canton, elected every four years by the people via majority voting.

Naturally, Different individual states or territories known as "societies" organize their own government systems with the lack of any legal definity, which is illegal. There can be as many as possible,with whatever they form.

But that also means The Federal Capital can invoke equally unlimited actions as well.

It sounds very confusing and frustrating to live in your nation.

Ziotah and Riverside, as the name implies, is really a "federal republic" made up of Ziotah proper and Riverside, a part of our nation who recently voted to become autonomous in a national referendum. While Riverside is recognized as a part of the nation in terms of official naming and symbolic purposes, Riverside now has its own government and political leader. For the country as a whole, we use a parliamentary-type system with a Prime Minister and a President, who have political control over Ziotah proper, and are often invited to "advise" Riverside, but they do not like to do it. We hold elections every five years.

Our nation is a Federal Multi-Party Democratic Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy, although others have labelled us as a Federal Crowned Parliamentary Republic. Our government is organized with a King who is the head of state and is stated by constitution to have only ceremonial powers, and a publically-elected Prime Minister as head of government. Also elected directly by the citizenry is a bicameral Federal Parliament, made up of a Senate of 100 senators (half of which are appointed) and a National Assemby of 520 assemblymen. In each canton there is also a unicameral Parliament known as the Council of State, and in each municipality there is usually a city council headed by a mayor.

We are a republic. The people vote on all government officials and propositions. Though citizens must pass literacy tests to become voters. This makes a happier country, with less corruption. Citizens can also vote on term limits for officials. Unlike the U.S., this is actually a govt. by the people for the people.

The President approves and can start laws, sets the budget.

The Vermont General Assembly starts laws,votes and approves them, and can override the President with a 5/6 or over vote.

The Vermont Supreme Court Interprets the laws, and can rule any of them against another according to the Contradictory Clause of Article 5.
