In effect the syndicalist government functions as a hierarchy of unions each of which may function as either an executive or legislative, but usually both branches for part of the nations laws. The powers of each union is based on what has previously been agreed to be delegated to that level of the hierarchy from above. These powers include both serving as the executive branch for any issues the representatives bring from the legislative decisions of their own unions, one step down in the hierarchy, as well as serving as part of the legislative branch for any higher unions they send representatives to. One of the main purposes of this division of power was to ensure the each part of the government could take care of their issues swiftly and effectively. The national council refers to the members of the highest point in the hierarchy and they hold only executive powers, including the first level of delegation of all state power towards the lower branches. While some may worry that this would simply lead to the national council holding full authoritarian power, they are limited by the constitution to some degree, most importantly as they do not control the length of their terms. As each representative must be chosen by a union at the lowest level before they are able to start climbing the hierarchy, any representative who is seen as failing in their duty to the lower unions may simply be replaced, no need to even wait for an election as the folkmoot held to determine the representative may be called at any time by those making the decision. This representative election is generally not referred to as an election as it is not a choice of the majority, as this is considered democratic republicanism, something that the state specifically attempts to distance itself from. Instead it is rather an agreement that is not protested by any member. | In effect the syndicalist government functions as a hierarchy of unions each of which may function as either an executive or legislative, but usually both branches for part of the nations laws.

Despite attempting to generally distance themselves from party-like organizations as to not appear too democratic the current Vithinjan government can generally be split into certain factions. While each of the members of ''Naþionelförsamligyn'' (the National Assembly) is and individual and may choose to not follow the lead of others in the same faction, these factions give a general idea of the power balance among those leading the nation.[[File:Vithinjan-National-Council.png]] | Despite attempting to generally distance themselves from party-like organizations as to not appear too democratic the current Vithinjan government can generally be split into certain factions.

The '''Traditional Monarchists''' [Dark Blue], or conservatives, is a conservative faction mainly built around the ideals and values of the Church of Rolv. Ever since the [[Cooperatist counter-coup of 1984]] they have been a close ally to the ''Cooperatists''. Although they were once one of the two dominant factions together with the ''Syndicalists'' they now only hold 43 seats. By tradition the black-chancellor have always been lead by the King, who thus always becomes the leader of the conservatives as well, leaving [[Rolv XI Sortvit]] as their leader today. He has been working hard to maintain his alliance with the ''Cooperatists'' and working to ensure their policies would align more often. The conservatives as a whole have mainly focused on preventing the errosion of more traditional values and ideals, very rarely implementing more reactionary changes instead focusing on denying certain kinds of change. | The '''Traditional Monarchists''' [Dark Blue], or conservatives, is a conservative faction mainly built around the ideals and values of the Church of Rolv.

'''National Syndicalists''' [Brown]... 42 seat. | Among the more reason additions to the assembly, the '''National Syndicalists''' [Brown] (Often referred to as Natsynds) split off from the ''Syndicalist'' factions in the early 2000's. They mostly hold views that can be roughly placed somewhere in between the ''Syndicalists'', ''Cooperatists'' and ''Conservatives''. One of their most defining features is that they believe that Vithinja is a gothic nation first, with it's more celtic inclinations only to be tolerated, not accepted. Despite their short existence they already hold 42 seat, almost surpassing the old ''Conservatives''. They are currently lead by white-chancellor [[Riordan Mayor]], although his hold of the faction is weak. His attempts to similarly make the group more appealing to a modern audience similar to the ''Syndicalists'' has lead to many in the faction considering him soft. Many suspect that one of the more radical representatives within the assembly will soon replace him, which will likely cause him to lose his place as chancellor. | ||
'''Syndical Environmentalists''' [Green].. | Despite being one of the oldest factions in the assembly the '''Syndical Environmentalists''' [Green] have struggled to gain support for most of their existence. Their ideas for bettering the future are hold strong support in many other nations but this is not to their advantage, as there is a common rumor that they were born from and still gain from foreign supports and especially scandalous: foreign investments. Even with all of this against them they hold 21 seats, which is still the height of their popularity. Being lead by pink-chancellor [[Ingrid Fridsdotr]], they have taken on the ideals of the modern progressive movement. Fridsdotr is was the first councillor and first chancellor to call herself a feminist, which has made her popular especially among many in the more progressive youth, but has also made her many enemies within the assembly who view her ideas as unpatriotic. | ||
'''Liberal Monarchists''' [Light Blue] | Finally, the '''Liberal Monarchists''' [Light Blue] who only joined the assembly five years ago hold a decent 8 seats. Many believe that they movement had no chance to ever enter into the assembly, which was true for more than 50 years. But with the efforts of their leader, white-representative [[Aron Watch]] as well as suspected support from the somewhat popular [[Valker Sortvit|Prince Valker Sortvit]]. They currently push ideas that seem to be mainly inspired by a combination of Burgundine and Caeric views on liberalism. Meanwhile, chancellor Watch is most famous for being the first representative to get into a brawl with his own chancellor, Riordan Mayor, over an attempt to pressure white-representatives into supporting the national syndicalists. He attempts to gain support both among his own but also from the ''Environmentalists'', in part by pushing a progressive set of ideas but that are more in line with the common culture within Vithinja. | ||
