===Council of Directors=== | ===Council of Directors=== | ||
The Council of Directors is the executive branch of Ashkenang's government, comprised of twelve Directors. Per the Constitution, it serves as an executive committee, nominally sharing all executive authority but having the authority to appoint a chairperson - the President - to direct its affairs. In practice, this means that the President executes much of the day-to-day lead authority of the country under the approval and confidence of the Council. The remaining eleven Directors each have a specific policy portfolio and functionally serve as {{Wp|cabinet minister}}s | The Council of Directors is the executive branch of Ashkenang's government, comprised of twelve Directors.

The President of the Council of Directors is the de facto chief executive of the country and is often referred to in foreign press as simply "the President". Though the President does not have direct authority as an individual to make war or peace or direct the affairs of the military, the position is viewed to have the confidence of a majority of the Council of Directors to direct its policy affairs. Accordingly, the President is envisioned by the constitution as having the ability to execute the broader dictates, policies, and aims of the sovereign Directors as its both its legal executor and leading representative. | The President of the Council of Directors is the de facto chief executive of the country and is often referred to in foreign press as simply "the President".

The Confederation has a largely two-party political system split between the Blue Party and the Yellow Party; of these, the Blues are more conservative, pacifistic, religious, and focused on traditional life, whereas the Yellows are more militaristic and expansionist, supportive of Occidentalization, and promulgate a doctrine of centralization of power. Both are kept in check by a number of foreign advisors from abroad, as while Faneria maintains a large stake in Ashkenang's statebuilding process as its original patron nation, other Cronan powers (namely [[The Cape]], [[Arcerion]] and [[Canespa]]) have exerted influence in the area. In general, Arcerine, Capetian and especially [[Canespa|Canespan]] advisors have tacitly supported the Blue Party, whereas Faneria supports the Yellows due to its declared intent to build Ashkenang back into a hub of regional influence in [[Cusinaut]]. | The Confederation has a largely two-party political system split between the Blue Party and the Yellow Party; of these, the Blues are more conservative, pacifistic, religious, and focused on traditional life, whereas the Yellows are more militaristic and expansionist, supportive of Occidentalization, and promulgate a doctrine of centralization of power.

In the past the Canespans especially have taken much more physical movements to exert influence in the country. Among these movements Canespa has promised to use some of the energy generated via the Hamuq City dam on poor towns in southern Ashkenang. The towns promised these utilities all have large Blue Party majorities. | ||
