The structure of the Kiravian political system is laid out in the Constitution of the Kiravian Federacy, also referred to as the 'Fundamental Statute' (''Livnifîlon''). Constitutional authority is {{wp|separation of powers|distributed among several organs of government}}, each with certain institutional checks against the powers of the others. Executive power is vested in the indirectly-elected [[Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy|Prime Executive]] and the appointed [[Executive College]], responsible for the administration of the Government, enforcement of laws, and conduct of military and diplomatic affairs. The PE and Executive College can promulgate {{wp|secondary legislation}} and (within certain parameters) primary legislation through various forms of decrees. The [[Federal Stanora]] is a representative and deliberative body elected by Kiravian citizens, with seats distributed among the federal subjects. The Stanora enacts primary legislation, authorises expenditure, and raises revenue. It also exercises supervisory powers over government agencies. The [[Federal Consistory]] serves as the nation's {{wp|constitutional court}}, ajudicating disputes among the other organs of government and {{wp|constitutional review|reviewing the constitutionality of their acts}}. | |||
