Faneria | The '''Government of Faneria''', formally '''The National Government of the Republic of the Fhainn''', is the national-level government of [[Faneria]]. It is organized into four primary branches and eight major administrative Offices, which are analogous to top-level bureaus or departments of government in other countries. | ||
Faneria is formally a {{Wp|Unitary state|Unitary}} [[Cananachan Republicanism|Quaternalist]] {{Wp|Republic}}, and practices a complex balance of power that favors its head of state, the [[Directorate of the Republic of the Fhainn|Director of the Republic]]. Outside of its internal ideology, it is considered a presidential republic. The Head of Government is the [[Taesteach of the Republic]], who oversees the legislature, which is functionally a three-chambered body; however, its upper chamber is made up of members of government during their terms rather than being specifically elected for the position. Its Quaternalist ideology breaks the government into Executive, Legislative, Audit, and Fiscal branches, with the Audit and Fiscal branches differing from Romance Occidental legal traditions.{{Template:Fhainnin Politics}} | |||

In three-branched governments, the budget is decided by the legislature, but Republican theorists in Faneria felt this gave too much power to quickly-rotating officials without any guarantee of skill in actually managing finance; in addition, Fhainnin political tradition separates the budget from direct legislative power as a check on corruption. | ||

The Directorate employs broad, unilateral executive powers in a number of domains, but cannot make or repeal law or establish a budget and may be constrained by the other branches on a case-by-case basis. The Director is responsible for signing bills into law, approving a budget passed to them by the NEAC, and appoints provincial Governors. They may also nominate Auditors, but this power is typically delegated to the First Secretary, who serves a role as a stand-in at events and and designated survivor. Both the Director and First Secretary are elected by a two stage system, with four candidates elected from within the National Assembly put up for a national ranked-choice vote. Candidates for both positions are technically eligible for up to six terms, each of which are five years long; however, there is an established precedent of resignation after five terms at the most. | ||

The State Council's only legislative function is as a final simple majority check for a bill before it goes to the Directorate; as the State Council has ten members, the representative from the Audit Council has tiebreaking power. However, its significant overlap in membership with the Audit and Economic Councils makes it the primary informal forum for inter-branch and ministry communication and coordination, and is often attended by the Director and non-member specialists and Bureau and Department ministers for this purpose. This effectively acts as the executive branch's cabinet. | The State Council's only legislative function is as a final simple majority check for a bill before it goes to the Directorate; as the State Council has ten members, the representative from the Audit Council has tiebreaking power.

As a unitary government, Faneria's various Provinces and Counties exist at the convenience of the central government, and their power stems from appointment of power by the State Government. Provincial governments consist of two primary official positions: Provincial Taesteachs, which are elected within the county, and Governors, which are voted on by the National Assembly after proposal by the Director of the Republic. Provinces are mainly responsible for organizing the numerous local County governments, which are headed by Mayors elected locally. Cities which span multiple counties are allowed to elect a Civil Taesteach, who receives authority over the Mayors of the counties in a city. | As a unitary government, Faneria's various Provinces and Counties exist at the convenience of the central government, and their power stems from appointment of power by the State Government.
