==Government==

New Archduchy is a {{wp|unitary republic|unitary}}, {{wp|parliamentary republic}} governed by the Constitution of 1892, which establishes a {{wp|unicameral}} legislature, the 134-seat Common Council, lead by the Chancellor of the Common Council who serves as the {{wp|head of government}} of New Archduchy. The Common Council is elected every five years in years ending with "0" and "5" and are apportioned every ten years. The Common Council is largely modeled after the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Concilium Daoni]], and is elected from single member constituencies. Unlike [[Urcea]], political parties are not represented in any government capacity, cannot endorse members of the Council, and members of the Council are legally prohibited from organizing along party lines. Political parties can be organized and can endorse candidates on the local level, however, and the government of New Archduchy effectively assumes a partisan nature despite constitutional prohibitions against partisanship.

Limited executive powers are invested in the Popular Regent, an officer who holds the responsibility of {{wp|head of state}} but holds little administrative responsibility. The Popular Regent, who serves as the embodiment of national sovereignty on behalf of the people of the Republic, serves a single twenty-five year term. Elections for the office are non-partisan and held either at the end of the term of the previous occupant or upon the death of the previous occupant. Accordingly, elections for the office do not take place at fixed increments. The office of Popular Regent is open to any baptized [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] over the age of forty.
