Government system
Head of state is a monarch bearing the title „His/Her Majesty the King/Queen“. He/she is to sign international treaties and to represent the state on behalf of the people. This is a title and office which is inherited by the oldest son/daughter of the reigning sovereign. As soon as the oldest child turns 14 years, he/she is invested with the official title of the crown prince/ -ess: Herzog/in (Duke/Duchess of) von Großgründlach. Furthermore, the sovereign names or dismisses the ministers upon advice of the Chancellor. The monarch is the supreme commander of the Royal Armed Forces by law. Besides the sovereign has to sign all issues passed by the legislature.
The Erlangen-Ansbacher parliament consists of two chambers.The lower chamber of parliament is called the Reichstag. It may introduce bills for consideration, if these are endorsed by one third of the members. Furthermore, the Reichstag maintains the right of declaration of war and peace in concert with the sovereign.
The Reichstag elects the Reichskanzler (Chancellor) who is head of governement, maintains the right to set the guide lines for the governmental work („Richtlinienkompetenz“) and acts as chief spokesman of the state on international summits.. The upper chamber of parliament is the Reichsrat (Federal Council) and represents the executives of the states of the United Kingdom: It may introduce own bills to be considered by a 1/3 majority. The laws who are to be presented to the Reichsrat determined by the Reichsverfassung Art. 50-53 and/or separate laws.
Every five years there are general elections to vote on a new lower chamber. The upper chamber is not elected by nationwide elections – its members are delegates of the state governments.
The Königliche Landesverfassungsgericht (KLVG) is the supreme court of the United Kingdom of Erlangen-Ansbach and Peru. The KLVG justices are appointed by the sovereign upon non-binding advice of the Chancellor, but their appointment must be confirmed by the Reichstag. The Ministry of Justice and/or the states’ Departments’ of Justice are authorised to appoint the judges of the courts they are in charge of. The jurisdiction acts independent from the legislature, executive and the sovereign.
Administrative order
Capital
The city of Erlangen is the ancient and honourable capital of the United Kingdom: The executive, legislative and jurisdiction (albeit be it only the supreme court KLVG) meet here.
Like many capital cities Erlangen is an administrative division of itself: The Duchy of Erlangen is governed by the Senate led by the President of the Senate or Senatspräsident alias the Lord Mayor. The city state's parliament is called Abgeordnetenhaus or House of Deputies.
Erlangen is divided into a number of counties led by a directly elected mayor and county council.
Administrative units
Herzogtümer (singular Herzogtum) Erlangen (cap. Erlangen), Ansbach (cap. Ansbach), Leutershausen (cap. Leutershausen), Roth (cap. Roth), Stadeln (cap. Stadeln), Großgruendlach (cap. Großgruendlach), Nordbrüssel (cap. Luxemburg), Südbrüssel (cap. Charlesroi), Hessen (cap. Wiesbaden), Neu-Ansbach (cap. Willhelmshaven), Peru (cap. Fennbridge).
The Herzogtümer are governed by a state government, which is led by an Exarch, who is elected by the Landtag (state assembly). The Exarchs are head of government and state of these partly-sovereign states. In all domestic affairs there is an optionally competing legislation between states and the federation: Generally a federal act overrules a state act. The states maintain supremacy in cultural and educational affairs, while the federal government (His Majesty's Government) looks after defence and foreign affairs with supremacy.
Overseas poessessions
So far Erlangen-Ansbach has only one overseas possesion out of the region of Europe.
The Principality of Neuroth
Head of state: Governor Prinz Adrian Friedrich VON ROTH-WINTER
Head of government: Lord Mayor Graf Ole VON BEUST
The Principality of Neuroth is an overseas dominion of Erlangen-Ansbach. It is located in the region of "The Sunbelt." This dominion is a city-state whose organisation can be somewhat compared to Erlangen's administrative order.
The constitutional legal whereabouts of the Principality's and the United Kingdom's relations are regulated in the Association Accord of 1970 (Asoziationsabkommen).
Its head of state is the Monarch of Erlangen-Ansbach in his capacity as the Prince of Neuroth. His Majesty's representative is the Governor of the Principality, who carries out the Monarch's duties. For that purpose he is assisted by the secretaries of the Princely Household.
The two most important secretaries are the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and the Secretary of Defence. Both are de-facto nominated by their counter-parts in Erlangen-Ansbach and finally appointed by the Monarch. In coordination with the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office they carry out their duties for the Principality.
The government of Neuroth is called the Princely Senate/Fürstlicher Senat led by the President of the Senate/Senatspräsident: Thus all ministers wear the title of Senator. The Senate's President is elected into office by a majority of the People's Chamber.
The People's Chamber or Volkskammer is the national legislature of Neuroth. Its 84 members are up for vote in general elections every five years. Like in Erlangen-Ansbach the parliament's head, Volkskammerpräsident Dr. Franz Maurer, is the highest-ranking civil officer.
Parliament
Erlangen-Ansbach has a bicameral parliamentary system:
Der Reichstag (605 Members); directly elected every five years
Der Reichsrat (55 Members); the members of the Reichsrat are delegates from each state government; the number of delegates of each state varies according to the states' population
Main parties: Christlich Volkspartei, CVP (conservative), Sozialdemokratische Partei, SDP (socialdemocrats), Freiheitlich-Liberale Partei (liberals), Die Grünen, Grüne/Greens (green party), Nationaldemokratische Partei, NDP (extreme right-wing)
Der XXXII. Reichstag des Vereinigten Königreichs
Reichstagspräsident (Speaker): Dr. Alois GLÜCK (CVP)
Most notably about the office of Reichstagspräsident or Speaker is that its tenant is considered higher-ranked than the chief of government. In fact the Speaker is highest rank of the civil executive.
CVP (Parliamentary Group Leader Dr. Richard DU BEVÈRE): 330 (last result 54%)
SDP (Parliamentary Group Leader Dr. Benedikt KOLB): 201 (33%)
FLP (Parliamentary Group Leader Graf Andreas VON SOELLNER): 39 (7%)
Grüne (Parliamentary Group Leader Anna LEHNERT): 34 (5%)
The Executive of the United Kingdom
The Monarch/Der Monarch
His Majesty King RAIK III Christoph Konrad von Gründlach is the sovereign monarch and head of state of the United Kingdom. The heir apparant is His Royal Highness Prince ALFRED von Gründlach
His foremost rights include the formal dissolvement of the lower house (Reichstag) before general elections, proposing a suitable candidate to the Reichstag's membership following general elections, appointing and/or dismissing ministers and state secretaries of His Majesty's Government.
In daily politics His Majesty acts mostly neutral: However, since the current monarch considers himself - like his father late King Daniel IV - the people's first servant, it may occur that he praises political moves.
A "special weapon" of His Majesty is his veto right for bills, which he deems unconstitutional. Such a veto can only be overruled by a decision of the supreme court (KLVG): Any bill the King vetoes is to be checked by the supreme court justices.
In foreign affairs His Majesty is very active like his father and grandfather, who started this tradition: In concert with the Auswärtige Amt (Foreign Office) he actively promotes the national interest and negotiates for His kingdom.
Other duties of His Majesty include accrediting new ambassadors to Erlangen-Ansbach and appointing new ones to represent Erlangen-Ansbach as well as the formal supreme command of the Royal Armed Forces. In peace times, however, that's carried out by the Minister of Defence.
