Faneria's political zeitgeist has wavered considerably over the last century and a half, with a traditionalist monarchy being overthrown by a radical revolutionary republic in the 1900s that later transformed into a semiauthoritarian hybrid state in the 1950s. Its policies are typically nationalistic and focused on economic growth and public wellbeing along with soft power projection. It formally claims some border regions currently possessed by [[Caergwynn]], and although it has good relations with its neighbor Fiannria, the ethnic makeup of Fiannria's coastal region along the Vandarch and the territory's history as a battleground between [[Holy Levantine Empire|HLE]] troops and Fhainnin armies makes Faneria's formal renunciation of claims seem shallow.

== Government Structure ==
== Government Structure ==
As a republic, Faneria's government is divided into two primary branches, the executive and the legislative. Each interacts to counterbalance the other, although Faneria has a strong executive position compared to contemporary republics abroad.
As a republic, Faneria's government is divided into four branches - an executive, legislative, judicial, and administrative; these are called the Directorate, the National Assembly, the National Audit Council, and the Administration Board, respectively. Each interacts to counterbalance the other, although Faneria has a strong executive position compared to contemporary republics abroad.

====Seat of the Directorate====
Main Article: [[Seat of the Directorate]]
Main Article: [[Seat of the Directorate]]


The Director of the Republic is head of state, with the powers of the Head of Government resting nominally in the subordinate office of the Taoisteach. The Directorate is an elected position selected for by a two-stage vote (see Main Article). The term of office for the Seat is five years, with a hard limit of six terms - however, no Director has ever held the position for more than five terms, which is generally considered a soft limit out of respect for the Republic's first head of state, [[Callac Cananach]].
The Director of the Republic is Faeria's head of state, with the powers of the Head of Government resting nominally in the office of the Taoisteach. The Directorate is an elected position selected for by a two-stage vote (see Main Article).

====Joint Seats of the Concord====
 
====National Assembly====
Main Article: [[Joint Seats of the Concord]]
Main Article: [[Joint Seats of the Concord]]


The Concord is the primary legislative body of the nation. It is structured as a tricameral legislature, with the Council of the Peoples being elected on a local level by popular vote, the Council of the Ways (seats apportioned to various parties by number of registered voters), and the National Board (seats automatically granted with appointment to the head of a major government department). Seated Members may hold seats within multiple Councils, and the Speaker of each lower house is a member selected from the majority or plurality party in that house. The National Board does not have a Speaker. Elections for the lower two Councils are held every three years, and National Board appointments are synonymous with another position in government and are gained or lost along with that position.  
The '''National Assembly''' is the legislative body of Faneria's government, and is a tricameral legislature composed of the Peoples' Council, the Party Council, and the National Council.
 
The '''Peoples' Council''' is elected with one representative per million persons in a county, with a minimum of one representative, for terms of three years with a maximum of three terms. It has the power to propose laws, veto laws prior to ratification with a 3/4 vote, and to request amendments to the budget by a 2/3 vote. It is overseen by the Peoples' Speaker.
 
The '''Party Council''' is elected on a proportional model across the entire country; there is one representative for every million registered citizens. These representatives are elected every five years for a maximum of two terms. The Party Council may propose laws, veto laws prior to ratification with a 3/4 vote, and propose alternative budgets if the National Council refuses to approve a budget twice. It is overseen by the Parties' Speaker.
 
The '''National Council''' is not elected, but consists of the '''Taoisteac''', the two Speakers of the other houses, the chief ministers of the six Offices of government, and one representative of the Audit Council. It is observed by the ministers of every government Bureau. As a result of its makeup, it has no term limits or terms contingent to itself, and members are removed and added as the positions associated with a seat are changed. The National Council approves laws passed by the lower houses, with the Audit Council representative having tiebreaking power. The National Council also acts as a forum for frank communication with the Director and coordination between government organizations. It is headed by the Taoisteach.
 
In the event of a meeting of all houses of the Assembly, the Taoisteach takes control of proceedings. The Party and Peoples' Councils may also meet without the National Council, in which case the Parties' Speaker takes priority if present; together, the two lower houses have the sovereign power of veto over decisions by the Director if passed by a 3/4 margin. If a 2/3 margin is reached, the Audit Council is required by law to immediately meet and review the executive order in question.
 
====National Audit Council====
Main Article: [[National Audit Council (Faneria)]]
 
====Administration Board====
Main Article: [[Administration Board (Faneria)]]
 
The Administration Board is headed by the Taoisteach and consists of a selected panel of specialists, bureaucrats, and representatives from the Audit Council. It is informally structured and ensures the budget is carried out and the various civil services of the state continue to function. It works closely with the Director and the Audit Council.

The mundane functions of the government are organized into six major Offices, each of which oversees subordinate Bureaus that break down into Departments:

The [[Office of Civil Services]] manages the bulk of day-to-day civilian services, from education to general infrastructure to utilities to business regulations and bookkeeping. It often reaches into areas normally under the auspices of other Offices and is easily the largest of the Offices in both form and function. Its function is technically overseen by the Administration Board, but it is common for a sitting Director to interfere in situations deemed to be of 'immediate national interest', typically through or with the consent of the Taoisteach.
