Julian republic

A Julian republic is a kind of republic which is modeled after the Government of Urcea but features a non-hereditary head of state in place of the Apostolic King of Urcea. Like the Urcean system, these republics tend to employ a federal system with a unicameral legislature, a Chancellor and Temporary President who leads the legislature, a nationally elected Procurator who serves as the chief executive, and a head of state who ensures the outlines of the constitution are followed. The head of state also typically has the authority to nominate judicial appointees and members of the officer corps but otherwise has no influence over the judiciary or military. The head of state, when popularly elected, is usually elected to longer terms than the Procurator. These systems are less commonly referred to as "triumviral republics" (particularly among Ardmori sources) for having three different individuals serving as head of government, chief executive, and head of state.

Julian republics became a more common form of governance in Crona following the conclusion of The Deluge, as newly formed indigenous states aligned with Urcea closely emulated its system of government.
