Faneria

Faneria (Fhasen: Fhainnlannacharean) is a centrally-run parliamentary republic situated in northern Levantia. Largely dominated by a Fhainnin Gaelic population in its more heavily populated southern regions along the Vandarch Sea, the country includes Coscivian and Aenglish-origin minorities for a total population of over 292 million. Its fifteen provinces and three overseas territories span roughly 1.9 million square miles bordering Kiravian Scapa to the northwest by sea, Prevalia to the west, Caergwynn to the north and east, and Fiannria to the east, as well as sharing maritime borders with several nations across the Vandarch.

Government and Politics

Government Structure

Seat of the Directorate

Main Article: Seat of the Directorate

The Director of the Republic is head of state, with the powers of the Head of Government resting nominally in the subordinate office of the Taoisteach. The Directorate is an elected position voted for by the Concord and supported by an administrative council, though the sitting Director retains executive powers barring unusual circumstances. Elections are held at the end of each decade.

Joint Seats of the Concord

Main Article: Joint Seats of the Concord

The Concord is the primary legislative body of the nation. It is structured as a tricameral legislature, with a Council of the Peoples (seats apportioned on local populations and directly elected locally), Council of the Ways (seats apportioned to various parties by number of registered voters), and High Council (seats automatically granted with appointment to the head of a major government department). Seated Members may hold seats within multiple Councils, and the legal power of the Council of the Peoples is generally considered inferior to that of either of its senior bodies. Elections for the lower two Councils are held

Offices of Government

The non-legislative functions of the government are organized into seven major Offices, each of which oversees the relevant Bureaus:

The Office of the High Courts manages the justice system and mediates intragovernmental disputes along with the Office of Political Security. It additionally liaises with the League of Nations International Court. It responds to the Concord, though it retains some sovereign power of its own.

The Office of Civil Services manages the bulk of day-to-day civilian services, from education to general infrastructure to utilities to business regulations and bookkeeping. It often reaches into areas normally under the auspices of other Offices and is easily the largest of the Offices in both form and function. Its function is technically overseen by the Concord, but it is common for a sitting Director to interfere in situations deemed to be of 'immediate national interest'.

The Office of Political Security handles the mundane aspects of international relations, public relations, and cybersecurity, as well as its most widely known function of acting as an investigatory body with regards to the rest of the civilian government.

The Office of Trade and Travel deals in immigration, emigration, customs, tariffs, foreign aid, and exploration.

The Office of the Treasury runs the Central Mint and oversees most aspects of state investments and funding of private entities, along with tax collecting. It reports to the Concord and Directorate alike.

The Office of the Federal Army manages the armed forces of the state, as well as the commissioning of materials and equipment for said forces. It answers directly to the Directorate.
