New Veltorine Provisional Government: Difference between revisions

The local governing apparatus of the NVPG retained the structure of the [[Veltorine Territories]], based around four Prefectures. The three original Prefectures were, west to east, the "Oceanic Prefecture" which included the territories on the country's western peninsula, the "Western Core Prefecture" including the cities between the western peninsula and New Constanz including the Pentapolis region, and the "Capital Prefecture" including [[New Constanz]] and most of the urban centers on the northern coast. The end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] saw additional lands added to the southwest of the country from [[Varshan]], and accordingly the "Southern Frontier Prefecture", covering the mountainous region in the southwestern portion of the country. The original Veltorine Territories also included a "Eastern Frontier Prefecture", which was ceded to [[Quetzenkel]] in [[2024]]. Each Prefecture was run by a Civilian Proprefect who exercised total executive authority. The Proprefect system was originally created as a civilian advisor to the military Prefects of the Veltorine territories, but the system remained in place until constitutional government dissolved the Prefectures. Local government structures - a three person committee appointed directly by the Prefect government - was also retained, but rather than 3 VPDC appointees, the NVPG's structure included a VPDC member, a former [[Veltorine government-in-exile|government-in exile]] representative, and a neutral member residing in the municipality agreed upon by both members.

Elections were held on October 1st, [[2026]] for a constitutional convention to establish the constitution and basic laws of the new Republic. The convention had no governing authority or any official oversight of the NVPG. The elections, monitored by [[Urcea|Urcean]], [[the Cape|Capetian]], and [[Stenza|Stenzan]] observers, took place in the form of at-large proportional elections for delegate from the four Prefectures, with each Prefecture given twelve delegates and the Capital Prefecture given eighteen. The convention began its deliberations on November 15th, 2026, and continued to meet until May 24th, 2026, upon which date it approved the draft constitution with 82% of delegates voting to approve. On the same day, the convention voted to adjourn and dissolve itself.
