===Political divisions=== | ===Political divisions=== | ||
1. The Imperial Level: | |||
The Monarch: Serves as the chief executive and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Has veto power over legislation and is involved in treaty-making, among other responsibilities. | |||
Imperial Legislature: Consists of a senior house and a junior house, responsible for legislative functions like taxation, military matters, and governance of territories. The senior house has members appointed by the Monarch and elected by the counties, while the junior house mainly consists of elected representatives. | |||
Imperial Courts: The judicial arm vested in one Imperial Court and other inferior courts. Judges serve for life and are appointed by the Monarch. | |||
Council for Defense of the Realm: A body for coordinating military, industrial, and commercial purposes during wartime. | |||
2. Provincial Level: | |||
Provincial Governor: Runs the affairs of the province and is chosen by the people of that province. | |||
Provincial Government: Not explicitly described, but presumably involves a local legislative body. | |||
3. Colonial Level: | |||
Colonial Governor: Presides over a government set up by the Imperial Legislature. | |||
4. Holdings and Unincorporated Territories: | |||
Overseer: Person appointed as in charge of holdings, such as embassies or bases overseas. | |||
Governors of Unincorporated Territories: Appointed by the Imperial Legislature. | |||
5. Counties: | |||
County Representatives: Elected or appointed to represent in the senior house of the Imperial Legislature. | |||
Provincial Governor: Also appears to have some role at the county level, especially in appointment matters. | |||
6. The Capital of Farpoint: | |||
Special Representation: It has separate representation in the Imperial Legislature, and moving to the capital for official duties does not change a representative's residency status. | |||
7. Citizens and Subjects: | |||
Citizens: Have full rights, including the right to vote and hold office. Citizenship is acquired mainly through military service. | |||
Subjects: Residents without citizenship. They have limited rights and can become citizens by meeting certain criteria. | |||
8. The Military: | |||
Imperial Armed Forces: Consist of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy, governed by rules set by the Imperial Legislature. | |||
In summary, Pauldustllah is a hierarchical, monarchic system with elements of representative democracy at different layers. It incorporates features from both centralized and decentralized systems, balancing the authority of the Monarch with elected legislative bodies. | |||
