According to the Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy, power of the sword resides in the Emperor in the right of the provinces except where the Fundamental Statute itself has elevated it to the Emperor in the right of the Federacy for purposes of national defence, the enforcement of federal law, and extension of the Emperor's peace to the sea and sky. Kiravian ''states'' have the ''right'' to maintain their own military forces, and furthermore ''all'' provinces have the ''duty'' to maintain a well-regulated militia and to provide military manpower for the defence of the Federacy in times of war. The Fundamental Statute also reserves to the provinces primary responsibility for maintaining civil defence and public order within their territory, including the mobilisation of militia for these purposes. | |||
