Government
The Government of the United Duchies is based on the 1651 Royal Charter and the 1725 Constitution and the most recent Unification Amendments. The government can be divided into three branches, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judiciary.
The Legislative Branch
The Legislative Branch consists of a Unicameral legislature body, The Grand Chamber and a constitutional assembly, the College of Peers.
The Grand Chamber
The Legislative body of the United Duchies is the unicameral Grand Chamber. The body is made up of two tiers of representatives. At the general teir are the Keys, either General or Parish. Each parish, county, barony, or landsrade elects a Parish Key for a parliamentary session that may last as long as seven years. General Keys are geographically proportioned to each Duchy based on a population census made every twenty years. The General Keys are directly elected for each Duchy. The second teir are the Rectors who represent the Peer of the realm in the College of Peers. They are elected for six year terms. The break-up of the body is 2/3 Keys, 1/3 Rectors.
The College of Peers
The College of Peers consists of those individuals who are of ‘Rank such that they shall be considered of the Grace’s stature and have been invited by him to sit and elect the Dean of the College’. In practice, this is all living members of the Peerage. The College is led by the Dean, who is also tasked with maintaining family records, hereditary symbols of the Peers, supervising the Sheriffs, and arbitrating all points of honor. The College of Peers elects 1/3 of the Rectors every two years and elects Sheriffs and the Dean every four years. The College considers and votes on any constitutional amendments presented to them after being voted on by the populace. The body also elects one Klatchian Key every three years. It also advises and consents to the Duke’s choice for Klatchian Elector.
The Sheriffs are primarily tasked with being arbiters of honor between the Peers, Adel, and Freeman.
