The highest governmental body is the Ninefold Covenant, which regulates all foreign matters and administrative matters between client nations, called ''Damo Itisi'' (meaning 'Grand Kingdom', which is applied to all nations regardless of if they are actually a monarchy). The ''damo itisi'' typically cannot interact with foreign powers unless sanctioned by the Ninefold Covenant (see [[Akanatoa War]]), but otherwise the council cannot regulate much other than the national budget and infrastructure that exists between the ''damo itisi''. The client nations receieve the budget and are free to distribute it between all their provinces, which are called ''itisi''. They also regulate all infrastructure and travel between ''itisis'' as well as the food supply, with the government seizing and distributing food. The ''itisis'' further regulate the layout of towns and are required to maintain all infrastructure, even if they have no control over it, receiving a budget to do so. This is all overplayed with a bureaucratic legislation process based upon census, petition and a constant interdependence between ''itisi'' and ''damo itisi''. This process is uniform across Takatta Loa, even if it is not mandated by the central council. However, the legal, medical and educational systems are regulated by the [[Kapuhenasa]], which exists beyond the government. The Henasa also has significant influence on the bureaucratic process, lending further to the claims that Takatta Loa is a theocracy. | The highest governmental body is the Ninefold Covenant, which regulates all foreign matters and administrative matters between client nations, called ''Damo Itisi'' (meaning 'Grand Kingdom', which is applied to all nations regardless of if they are actually a monarchy).

===Legislative process=== | |||
Policy and the like are dealt with at various levels depending on who exactly it impacts. At the most basic level, a person may submit a petition to a local bureaucratic office, which usually concerns local matters such as a request for house repairs or maintenance on a village road. This request is then formally edited and drafted by an official, who puts it, along with any other petition, and the village votes on it alongside the census. If the petition receives 60% approval, then it is enacted. On inter-village matters and tax collecting, then a similar process is employed and put through the entire ''itisi''. A village can submit a petition, and then if 60% of villages approve, it is either enacted or submitted to the monarch if applicable. Said monarch almost always approves it, though they are not necessarily obligated to. This process again applies to the ''damo itisi'', with the petitioner being an ''itisi''. This usually involves infrastructure through out the client state or involves nationwide taxes. | |||
There are other avenues to getting legislation passed however. A sovereign can draft a proposal and put it through the network (the process the Ninefold Covenant uses), and hope it gets passed. Alternatively, one can receive a divine sanction for or against a petition through shrine complexes. These are finicky, for if a shrine approves, they will look towards divination or divine signs, which reduces the possibility of a sanction down to random chance. The shrines could also approve it based entirely on politics, such as certain shrines approving and others not, which reduces the possibility even further. Note that the petition cannot be changed once submitted, and as such there is constant drafting and collaboration on crafting a widely appealing petition. | |||
