The '''Confederate Parliament''' is the main legislative body of the [[Crona|Cronan]] nation of [[Arcerion]], and is also often used to refer to the Arcer government ''en masse''. However, the Arcer government is comprised of a variety of specialized bureaus, departments, agencies, and offices that function as the federal-level of governance for the former [[Ardmore|Ardmori]] colony.

Arcerion, as a former Carnish colony, was once considered part of the Carnish Kingdom, and as an extension was under the legal authority and governance of the seated Carnish regent and their delegated representatives. During the Kingdom's early period in Crona, this manifested as the Crown-Governor of Arcerion, or more commonly referred to as the Governor General. Similarly, this verbage is where Arcerion gets its term for its state- or provincial-level bodies, the Governorates. Technically, even though the Carnish government is now a communist state, Arcerion still falls under the authority of the Carnish regent, not the state of Carna. Thus, even though independent, the figurative and former executive head of Arcerion remains the Carnish regent.

This executive power included powers such as royal prerogative, which during Arcerion's colonial and notional independent periods (prior to full independence), included sweeping executive powers from the ability to draft and pass laws without going through the legislature to the ability to levee economic sanctions against a foreign power, and in some cases, even declarations of war.
Ministry of the Interior (also: Home Office) - (acting) Mr Oliver Hopkins


During Arcerion's limited independence/governance period prior to independence in XXYY, Arcerion's Prime Minister sent regular correspondence and reports through the governmental departments under them to Carna and specifically the King or Queen, reporting on economic and diplomatic initiatives undertaken by their Cronan colony. As well, this included reequests for military assistance, most often ships, as Arcerion's military during this period was engaged in the Border Wars.
Ministry of Agriculture - Rt Hon Thomas Hawkins, MP


During the Colonial Period, many Carnish nobles and landed gentry made their way to Arcerion to stake their claim or expand their already existing dynastic holdings. This meant that up until Arcer independence, there was a noble class within Arco society. This even included a pair of Royal visits, the first in YEAR XXYY by REGENT 1, and the second in YEAR ZZZZ by REGENT 2.

The relationship with nobility was reaffirmed after Arcerion, and specifically the cities of Kinnaird and Kurst, became safe havens for Carnish citizens (commonly referred to in Arco culture as 'Carnish expats'), and within that citizenry included several members of the Carnish Royal family, and some already on vacation in South Crona. These settled in Arcerion, and while their Royal titles and honours did not apply to Arcerion as it had its own gentry and noble class, their titles were kept alive in memoriam of the Carnish Kingdom, and are honourary titles continued to this day.

The government has several main buildings, residences, and historical sites that all directly play a major part of Arcerion's day-to-day governance as well as its cultural heritage. Most importantly, the Confederate Parliament Buildings are located at 1 Red Lion Street, in the nation's capital of Kurst. The Prime Minister's Residence however doubles as the State Offices, where Heads of State or Foreign Dignitaries meet, and is located quite close to Parliament to facilitate what historically was a short walk or carriage ride from the residence to Parliament. The original Parliamentary sitting and residences were a now-destroyed building that served as the Crown-Governor's residence, and had a separate wing added in 1795 to accommodate a 12-person Parliament for the new colony. However in 1799 due to the burgeoning first decade of economic growth the Carnish Crown authorized the construction of a dedicated Parliament, and the current buildings were finished in 1811, with a few additions since the 19th Century to accommodate the considerable growth of Arcerion.

Common Arcer Terminology

Governorates and Special Municipalities

Governorates of Arcerion, with flags and founding dates (by Royal Decree).

The Arcer sub-federal political levels are separated into Governorates, which are roughly equivalent to states/provinces in other nations, and special municipalities which are usually large cities (ie. Kurst Capital Region). Each of these has their own special representatives who report to the Parliament on expenditures, economics, infrastructure, and security affairs. These special representatives are appointed by the respective legislative assembly of their governorate or municipality, and therefore generally are considered to be subordinate to the federal government's legislative bodies. However, for elections, these organizations and bodies serve as their own distinct entities independent of the federal government, and on different schedules and timelines for such events.

Arcerion is split into the following Governorates:

Governorates have their own provincial-level parliaments, and are headed by a Lieutenant-Governor.

Elections

Elections in Arcerion are held every four years at the federal level, where the country uses a first-past-the-post voting and ballot system. The party with a majority of seats forms the new government. Historically the Ardmori Crown would invite the party with the majority to form a government, however after the Ardmori Civil War the Arcerion Elections Service became the executive function for assigning an electoral victory. The next election in Arcerion is the 2034 Arcerion Federal Election.
