The Apostolic Kingdom is said to have a "dual-sovereignty" system, because the Apostolic King of Urcea is sovereign and is the central Constitutional organ by which the state functions, but the [[Concilium Daoni]] is sovereign insofar at is an expression of the people of Urcea and functionally holds supreme lawmaking authority within the Kingdom. Some observers have noted that the strength of Urcea's federalist system provides that the Kingdom should actually be referred to as "triple-sovereign", given the relationship between the federal and provincial governments. In this context, the Apostolic Kingdom is often referred to in some contexts as a "federal union", best summarized by [[P.G.W. Gelema]] as "the union...of the whole people with the Apostolic King, bonded to each other through the provinces which themselves are bound to the Kingdom in perpetual allegiance to both the Kingdom as legal entity and to the King as a man." | The Apostolic Kingdom is said to have a "dual-sovereignty" system, because the Apostolic King of Urcea is sovereign and is the central Constitutional organ by which the state functions, but the [[Concilium Daoni]] is sovereign insofar at is an expression of the people of Urcea and functionally holds supreme lawmaking authority within the Kingdom.

In terms of legal theory, the Kingdom is considered to be subject to the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] | In terms of legal theory, the Kingdom is [[Empire-in-fact|considered to be subject]] to the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] by the merit of that institution being coterminous in the person of the Apostolic King himself. Due to the position of the Apostolic King within the Constitution, his personal role as [[Emperor of the Levantines]] would potentially require the Urcean government's laws and statutes to be secondary to that of the [[Imperial Diet]], the terms of the [[Treaty of Corcra]] left the dictates of the Diet non-enforceable. Additionally, the Diet has not met since the early 1930s and was functionally dissolved with the Treaty of Corcra, making the distinction of Urcea's participation within the Empire purely nominal. The primary legacy of this participation is the nomenclature of the nation's army and titles of the Apostolic King; the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] reflects the King's status as [[Emperor of the Levantines]]. | ||
