The Imperial Republic of Ellyriand is a large empire, led by a Imperial High Chancellor.
Political outlook
The Greater Imperial Reich of Ellyriand is a Federative Empire employing simultaneously the concepts of centralized and powerfull political decision in the hands of the Chancellor and his Government, which is cooperative with the various federative provinces of Ellyriand, protecting at the same time the social rights of the laboral classes, in a kind of Corporativism which is supervised by the State itself, and the concepts of both inner and limited Democracy, which are representent by the Imperial Assembly, the voice of the people of Ellyriand.
Government of Ellyriand
The Imperial Ruling Council and the Imperial High Chancellor make up the Government of Ellyriand.The Imperial Ruling Council includes the heads of all executive ministries, appointed by the Imperial High Chancellor from the ranks of the Imperial Nationalist Party.
The Imperial High Chancellor, or simply known as Chancellor, is the title of the Head of State and Government as well as Speaker of the Assembly and Chief diplomat of Ellyriand. The Chancellor serves a term of seven years and can be re-elected four times. When a Chancellors term expires, the Assembly votes to elect the new Chancellor. He can be removed from office by a vote of no confidence upon the vote of two-thirds of the Assembly.
The Chancellor has the power to declare war, to grant pardon and to conclude agreements of peace, alliance, and participation in international organizations; upon the request of the government a simple parliamentary majority is required to ratify such actions, agreements, or treaties.
In the event a provincial government fails to fulfil its obligations under the charter or Imperial law, the Chancellor can use armed force to compel the province to do so. The Chancellor may dissolve the parliament, dismiss the government, suspend certain articles of the constitution, issue a proclamation or declare a state of emergency. Furthermore, in the event of a serious threat to public safety or national security, the Chancellor can take measures — including the use of armed force — to restore law and order, and can suspend civil rights if necessary. The Chancellor is required to inform the Imperial Assembly of these measures and the Assembly can nullify such a decree.
Imperial officials and civil servants (including ministers) are appointed and removed by authority of the Chancellor, who also has supreme command over the armed forces.
The Imperial High Chancellor determines the political guidelines of his government and is responsible to the Assembly. The Imperial government (cabinet) formulats decisions by a majority vote — in the case of a tie, the Chancellor's vote is decisive. The Assembly can accuse the Chancellor or any minister of wilful violation of the Charter or Imperial law, said case to be tried in the Supreme Court.
Legislature of Ellyriand
Ellyriand elects a legislature by universal suffrage of all citizens over the age of 18. The Imperial Assembly (curia imperialis in latin), some times also known as the Curia, has 300 members, called Assemblymen, elected for a four-year term by a system of proportional representation through open list multi-member districts. The Imperial Nationalist Party (INP) is the only legal party in the country. The Chancellor is the head of the INP. Members of the Assembly and provincial government are immune from arrest or investigation of a criminal offense except with the approval of the Chancellor. Laws can be proposed by a member of the Assembly, the Imperial government or the Chancellor and are passed on the majority vote of the Assembly. The Chancellor has the power to decree that a proposed law be presented to the voters as a referendum before taking effect.
