===Executive Branch=== | |||
The Chief Executive or Governor of Niyaska heads the executive branch. Niyaska is a strong-presidential state and there is no pretense to collegiality in the organisation or functioning of the state Cabinet, which serves to support the Governor. | |||
Niyaska is unique in having two Secretaries of State in its cabinet. Domestic responsibilities commonly assigned to Kiravian provincial secretaries of state, such as electoral administration, civil registration, corporate affairs, etc., are handled for North Niyaska by the Secretary of State for the Northern Department, and for South Niyaska by the Secretary of State for the Southern Department. The Northern Secretary is responsible for inter-governmental relations with other Kiravian federal subjects, while the Southern Secretary is responsible for Niyaska's relations with the [[Government of the Kiravian Federacy|federal government]]. Responsibility for the state's trade and tourism promotion offices abroad currently falls to the Northern Department, but has been shuffled between the two several times. | |||
Similarly, the state maintains two separate appellate courts for the North and the South. | |||
