The Stanora is the supreme lawmaking body in the Federacy. Laws passed by the Stanora are inferior only to those set down in the Fundamental Statute and to [[Federal Consistory]] rulings on constitutional matters, and can overwrite executive orders and regulations issued by the Prime Executive, except military commands.
The Stanora is the supreme lawmaking body in the Federacy. Laws passed by the Stanora are inferior only to those set down in the Fundamental Statute and to [[Federal Consistory]] rulings on constitutional matters, and can overwrite executive orders and regulations issued by the Prime Executive, except military commands.


The Fundamental Statute establishes the Stanora as the organ with the strongest control over government finances, and it has the exclusive power to levy taxes, mint currency, authorise funds, determine salaries, and contract loans on behalf of the government. The Federal Treasury is directly subordinate to the Stanora, and the Stanora appoints the Secretary of the Exchequer. Although the collection of taxes and enforcement of the tax code are carried out by the executive branch, all revenue is turned over to the Stanora. Nonetheless, in financial matters the Stanora is accountable to the [[Council of States]], which has the power to audit the Stanora and its agencies.
===Finance===
The Stanora is traditionally understood as a fiscal body first and foremost. The Stanora raises revenue by levying taxes and duties, negotiates the federal budget, appropriates funds for specific purposes and programmes, and authorises borrowing.
