Government of Faneria: Difference between revisions

Faneria is formally a {{Wp|Unitary state|Unitary}} [[Cananachan Republicanism|Quaternalist]] {{Wp|Republic}}, and practices a complex balance of power that somewhat favors its head of state, the [[Directorate of the Republic of the Fhainn|Director of the Republic]]. Its head of government is the [[Taesteach of the Republic]], who oversees the legislature, which is functionally a three-chambered body; however, its upper chamber is made up of members of government during their terms rather than being specifically elected for the position. Its Quaternalist ideology breaks the government into Executive, Legislative, Audit, and Fiscal branches, with the Audit and Fiscal branches differing from Romance Occidental legal traditions.{{Template:Fhainnin Politics}}

==Branches of Government==

The Fhainnin Government is based on the principles of [[Cananachan Republicanism]], which splits the functions of government into four major functions: Executive, Legislative, Audit, and Fiscal. In three-branched governments, the budget is decided by the legislature, but Republican theorists in Faneria felt this gave too much power to quickly-rotating officials without any guarantee of skill in actually managing finance; in addition, Fhainnin legal tradition maintains that rooting out corruption is easier when watching over a concentrated group of people, meaning that as many key functions as possible should be delegated to a dedicated group.

Taesteach, meaning 'chief' or 'leader', is an extension of old clan law and refers to positions in both the local, provincial, and the national levels of government. While historically, a Taesteach would fill many roles, a modern Taesteach is primarily responsible for representing the general public in government first and foremost as a check against corruption. In addition, a Taesteach may veto executive orders and fill in for appointed officials temporarily, though they may be impeached for misusing their powers. Taesteachs have much stricter requirements than other government positions in terms of legal records and are considered an ancillary part of both the Office of the Courts and the Office of State Security, and have a reputation for being ideologically-minded.
