Quisail

Quisail is a small nation in the region of TrekBBS.

--History--

The Commonwealth of Quisail was created in the year 1765, by King Aquel I. He blackmailed the King of Francia into giving him a fairly large plot of land in the south. To this day, the King/Queen of Quisail has ultimate power, but most modern monarchs choose not to use this, instead giving power to the people.

--Government--

As with many countries around the world, the government of Quisail is divided into three parts; the executive, the legislative and the judicial. The country is also a federation, but at the provincial level, all three divisions are rolled into one body

At the federal level, the executive is headed by the President, currently Xequel. He is chosen by direct elections, normally run in two goes.

Underneath him is the Superior Secretary of State and the Inferior Secretary of State, to whom the president may delegate any duties. At the moment, the Superior Secretary of State, Pequel, is in charge of national affairs, while the inferior, Feiquel, is in charge of foreign affairs.

The legilslative branch is a bit more complicated. Each province holds elections to their provincial council, which is composed of three councillors. The party with the most councillors then selects one as a National Councillor.

The National Council is composed of 17 councillors. One is elected from each province (except the Atlantic provinces, who elect one per TWO provinces, see below), to make 16, and then the President has the privledge of selecting the other.

The Supreme Court, has 3 members, who serve for life, or until they retire. Replacements are nominated by the president and approved by a simple majority of the National Council
