The Fhainnin Government is based on the principles of [[Cananachan Republicanism]], which splits the functions of government into four major functions: Executive, Legislative, Audit, and Fiscal. In three-branched governments, the budget is decided by the legislature, but Republican theorists in Faneria felt this gave too much power to quickly-rotating officials without any guarantee of skill in actually managing finance; in addition, Fhainnin legal tradition maintains that rooting out corruption is easier when watching over a concentrated group of people, meaning that as many key functions as possible should be delegated to a dedicated group. | The Fhainnin Government is based on the principles of [[Cananachan Republicanism]], which splits the functions of government into four major functions: Executive, Legislative, Audit, and Fiscal.

The [[National Audit Council (Faneria)|National Audit Council]] is the chief government court of Faneria, composed of seven Auditors selected from practicing judges by the Director and approved by the Joint National Assembly. It is considered an 'audit' branch rather than a 'judicial' one because it does not hear criminal cases, only constitutional ones. Impeachment proceedings are considered constitutional decisions rather than criminal ones. It additionally has the power to rule on the legality of laws, is the deciding body in the impeachment of officials, and commands state security forces. It is nominally run by the Auditor-General, who manages Council meetings but does not have any additional powers. | The [[National Audit Council (Faneria)|National Audit Council]] is the chief government court of Faneria, composed of seven Auditors selected from practicing judges by the Director and approved by the Joint National Assembly.

The mundane functions of the government are organized into eight major Offices, each of which oversees subordinate Bureaus that break down into Departments. Each Office has a general theme, though several smaller Bureaus are lumped into the Office of Civil Services and the Office of State Security that otherwise do not have direct correlations to the typical function of the respective agencies. | The mundane functions of the government are organized into eight major Offices, each of which oversees subordinate Bureaus that break down into Departments.

== Provincial, County, and Municipal Governments == | |||
As a unitary government, Faneria's various Provinces and Counties exist at the convenience of the central government, and their power stems from appointment of power by the State Government. Provincial governments consist of two primary official positions: Provincial Taesteachs, which are elected within the county, and Governors, which are voted on by the National Assembly after proposal by the Director of the Republic. Provinces are mainly responsible for organizing the numerous local County governments, which are headed by Mayors elected locally. Cities which span multiple counties are allowed to elect a Civil Taesteach, who receives authority over the Mayors of the counties in a city. | |||
== | ==== Taesteachs ==== | ||
Taesteach, meaning 'chief' or 'leader', is an extension of old clan law and refers to positions in both the local, provincial, and the national levels of government. While historically, a Taesteach would fill many roles, a modern Taesteach is primarily responsible for representing the general public in government first and foremost as a check against corruption. In addition, a Taesteach may veto executive orders and fill in for appointed officials temporarily, though they may be impeached for misusing their powers. Taesteachs have much stricter requirements than other government positions in terms of legal records and are considered an ancillary part of both the Office of the Courts and the Office of State Security, and have a reputation for being ideologically-minded. | |||
