The government of Ashkenang is based on a reformed version of the [[Northern_Confederation#Government|government of the Northern Confederation]] and is governed under the Constitution of 2024. The Constitution of 2024, which itself incorporates large parts of the Northern Confederation's "Received Guidances", was designed to codify the tradition-based unwritten constitution of the Confederation with some alterations to strengthen the stability of the state. | |||
=== | Ashkenang's government has been referred to by some scholars as a "{{wp|parliamentary democracy}} with extra steps" based on its practical values being balanced with the nominal traditions of the Northern Confederation. | ||
===President=== | ===Confederated Council=== | ||
The Confederated Council is the unicameral national legislature of Ashkenang. | |||
===Council of Directors=== | |||
The Council of Directors is the executive branch of Ashkenang's government, comprised of twelve Directors. It serves as an executive committee, nominally sharing all executive authority. In practice, the chair of the body - the President - executes much of the day-to-day lead authority of the country under the approval of the Council. The remaining eleven Directors each have a specific policy portfolio and functionally act as {{Wp|cabinet minister}}s. | |||
====President of the Council of 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. | |||
