The headquarters of the SRA, CSU, CNC, and NDA are owned by dedicated nonprofit "headquarters foundations", which exist for the sole purpose of maintaining these properties. The CR, Agrarians, LG, and DDF are headquartered in large private homes in Kartika owned by wealthy supporters. Kiravia of Regions does not have a single headquarters, instead running various aspects of its operations from individual KoR Delegates' offices. Its interstate conference has its permanent offices in rented space at №12, 16-''ram'', K-District, Kartika. | ||
*'''Platform Committees''' - Because caucuses do not exist outside of the legislative branch and the Prime Executure has been a nonpartisan office since the passage of the Xth Amendment under [[Ivardus Kólsylvar]], candidates for Prime Executive and Second Executive do not run on party tickets or ballot-lines.

Platform committees are often seen as extensions of the caucus with which their candidate is most closely associated, but it is not uncommon for this association to be unclear (such as in the case of independent Governors from states with strict anti-partisan laws) nor for platform committees to attract support from two or more caucuses in an effort to appeal to a larger voter base. | *'''Platform Committees''' - Because caucuses do not exist outside of the legislative branch and the Prime Executure has been a nonpartisan office since the passage of the Xth Amendment under [[Ivardus Kólsylvar]], candidates for Prime Executive and Second Executive do not run on party tickets or ballot-lines.
