Government

The Imperial Government of the Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon, centred in the Holy Tsar granted power by the Everlasting Grace and Glory of God.

Overview

Economic Overview

The government of Derscon is predominantly a Divine Right Monarchy. However, in reality, the Dersconi government is a complex mix of feudalism, federalism, republicanism, democracy, and monarchy. A general rule of thumb is that the larger the constitutency, the more autocractic the governance. At the local level, direct democracy is often found, especially in the north, where the tribal ways of living are still present. At the provincial level, a form of parliamentary monarchy is most likely to be found. At the State level, the royalty is well-present, all but four states being ruled by nobles that answer to the Tsar. Of course, at the Imperial level, it is the Tsar.

The Imperial government reigns supreme over all other decisions, and supercedes all other forms of law. The nobility of Derscon is not answerable to the normal law. Instead, a special court system and law code is established for the nobility. The Tsar, however, is outside all jurisdiction -- be it local, provincial, state, Imperial, or international.

Derscon does not hold any international law or court system to be binding in Derscon.

Current Government

The government of Derscon is centred in the Kæsþiöndhrír Empyeral Kremlin Palace. While there are seperate buildings in Rekjyavich-Andropov Military City for the ministries, the offices are technically centred in the KEKP itself.

Imperator

His Most Eminent Majestic Highness Tsar Xavier Alexeitovich Caesar Agustus Andropov II, Fedei Defensor, Par la Grâce de Dieu; Ambrosial Seraph of the Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon, Arch-Chancellor of the Greater Prussian Empire, Leath-Ri of the Redemption Isles, Veliky Kralj of the Eternal Empire, Khšaçapavan of the Covanent of God, Knight Commander and Dragon Master of the IOI, Gloeihdamae

Chancellor

The Chancellery is the office of running the day-to-day affairs of the Dersconi government, and houses the Council of Ministers. However, since the reign of Tsar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov II and the permanent dismissal of the Reichskongress, the Chancellery has remained vacant, the powers of the Chancellery and the seat of the Imperial Overseer going to the Monarch.

Grand Chancellor: (vacant)

The Cabinet

Technically under the Chancellery, since the de facto abolishment of the Reichskongress and the Chancellery, they have retained their status as a full Imperial Organization, and report directly to the Tsar. Technically chaired by the Grand Chancellor, since the reign of Tsar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov II, that power, as stated, has rested with the Monarch.

Grand Chancellor: Vacant

  • Minister of Foreign Affairs: Zheleztsolupp Kabanov
  • Minister of State Security: Yuri Golovko
  • Minister of the Interior: Felix Zhukov
  • Minister of Defence: Imperial Marshal (ret.) Sir Arthur Wellesley
  • Minister of Justice: Kosar Beria
  • Minister of Finance: Alyanov Grennavich
  • Minister of Culture: Charles Camile Sant-Saëns

The General Staff

(OOC: To be moved to the Military section, when and if I actually get around to writing it)

The General staff consists of the top military officials of the Empire. Here, chaired by the Defence Minister (who, traditionally, is a member of the General Staff before serving as Minister), the general military strategy-building and decision-making occurs. The Schutzstaffel was only a recent addition to the General Staff -- one of the first moves by Xavier upon his ascendency to the officer of the Holy Tsar.

Minister of Defence: Imperial Marshal (ret.) Sir Arthur Wellesley

  • Commander in Chief of the Imperial Army: Imperial Marshal Auguste Marmont
  • Commander in Chief of the Imperial Navy: Grand Imperial Admiral Marko Rekjyavich
  • Commander in Chief of the Imperial Air Force: Imperial Aeromarshal Herrfuchs Ljossalfheimer
  • Commander in Chief of the Imperial Stellar Navy: Imperial Asgarder Admiral Empaeryl Muspellheimer
  • Commander in Chief of the Schutzstaffel: Reichsmarshal Reinhard Helmer

Foreign Policy

For the most part, The Divine Prussian Empire has never been an out-going nation in terms of foreign policy. However, since the reign of Tsar Alexei Alexandrovich Andropov XIV, Derscon has taken a much more open stance towards the rest of the world, while still maintaining a relative distrust to those nations not associated with the Empire itself.

The Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon generally classifies all nations under one of the following categories, in order from closely related to utterly despised.

Foreign Policy News

(From Newest to Oldest)

  • The New Prussian Empire merges with the Greater Prussian Empire After long debates and discussions, the two Prussias united under the Greater Prussian Crown to assert their ever-strengthening dominance on the world stage.
  • Derscon Joins the Anti-Furry Alliance With a "militant moralization" movement within Dersconi society, recently shown by Tsar Xavier II's re-enactment of the Purity Codes, it was only natural that Derscon place its name on a document preaching the elimination of the plague of "furry-ism."
  • Derscon Joins the Hermes Alliance; Bryn Shander and New Haven removed from the Blacklist. Due to a recent change of heart in Dersconi Foreign Policy, and domestic ideas, Derscon has put aside past grievances with New Haven and Bryn Shander and removed them from the blacklist, upon joining the Hermes Alliance.
  • The Nations of Gens Romae and Atheistz are added to the "General Animosity" list. With the recent action taken by Gens Romae to order the assassination of notable Cherry Ridgian figures, Cherry Ridge being a state of Greater Prussia, a de facto state of war exists between Gens Romae and the Greater Prussian Empire as a whole, including Derscon. Atheistz has been added to the GA list for being in a de facto state of war with Greater Prussia, for supporting Gens Romae against Cherry Ridge, and for sending military vessels into Greater Prussian Waters.
  • The Quadrafectum of the Welschmerz Terran Federation declared defunct. Due to the sudden disappearance of New Czardas, and the loss of contact with The Cassatopian Galaxy, the Quadrifectum has been declared defunct, and disbanded.
  • Derscon becomes a member of the New Alliance Treaty Organization. Recommended by high officials within Allanea, Tsar Xavier II applied for membership in the alliance. High officials within Automagfreek expressed a welcoming opinion, pushing the NATO members to accept Derscon as a member. The Divine Prussian Empire looks forward to working closely with its new allies.
  • Derscon becomes member of the Extra Solar Union of Systems. Due to its close ties with many members of the alliance, it was only a matter of time until Derscon applied.
  • Northrop-Grumman moved from "GA" to "Blacklist," due to the continuing strained relations with Derscon and the former Prussian nation. It is unlikely that this will change within the reign of Tsar Xavier.

Friendly Nations/Organizations

The following are those nations/organizations with a friendly relationship with the Empire.

The Greater Prussian Empire

(See: Greater Prussia)

The nations of The Greater Prussian Empire recieve the closest benefits of the Dersconi Empire. All Prussian nations, along with the mandatory Free Trade and mutual defence pacts, recieve Most Favoured Nation status. Also, all citizen travel restrictions are suspended, save the need for a passport. All Prussian leaders have their own private suites in the Grand Kremlin Palace, and most Prussian leaders own estates in Derscon somewhere.

The Hermes Alliance

The Hermes Alliance is an alliance created by New Haven and Bryn Shander in the wake of the split with the Concordat, which was founded for the same purpose but was corrupted by Midlonia. The Hermes Alliance is primarily focused on transportation and trade, with the Project Hermes Hyperspace Gate Network being the primary means to that end. However, the security of the network and its technology is paramount, so the mutual defense of all member nations is a required tenant of the alliance as is a blacklist of nations that are a threat to the stability and security of the alliance, its members, and the network. The Hermes Alliance is also fully democratic, with all member entries and decisions being decided on with a vote between the member nations.

NATO

(See: NATO)

Derscon is a recent addition to the New Alliance Treaty Organization, allied with prominent members such as Sigma Octavius, Automagfreek, and Scandavian States.

IOI

The IOI is a relatively secret organization helped founded by Derscon.

(more later upon declassification)

ESUS

(See: ESUS)

The Extra-Solar Union of Systems, a long-established intergalactic alliance, has had close friendships with the Divine Prussian Empire since its entry into space. It was only a matter of time until Derscon became a full-fledged member.

Anti-Furry Alliance

(See: Anti-Furry Alliance)

The Anti-Furry Alliance was officially founded by the nation of Bryn Shander, but jointly established by Bryn Shander, Questers, New Haven, and Derscon. It's purpose is to expunge the galaxy of the plague of Furry-ism.

Other Treaty Alliances

(This article is subject to my OOC memory, which is about as good as a goldfish's)

"Treaty Alliances" refers to alliances forged by nations through treaties of some sort. Treaty alliances can be from the all-encompassing to simply the free trade agreement and/or an embassy exchange.

General Alliance

Free Trade Agreements

Non-Allied Nations

Embassy Exchange

Other Nations

The majority of the nations of the universe fall here. Most nations Derscon has never interacted with, therefore doesn't care one way or another about them. However, some do grab the attention of the Empire, and usually not in a good way. However, very few nations ever actually do enough stupid things to make it on Derscon's blacklist.

General Animosity

"General Animosity" is a category that expresses distaste for the nation. These nations are not to be dealt with on a governmental level, although private citizens are not forbidden from conducting business with them.

The Blacklist

The blacklist is the list of those nations that, upon mention, bring a nasty taste into the mouth of a Dersconi. These are nations that most Dersconis wouldn't even blink if they suddenly went away. Dersconi people, government or private, are completely forbidden from associating with them for any reason.
