Government system
Elections are being held every five years among all national citizens of 21 years and older. The voters will chose their preferred party to represent them in the House of Representatives. Indirectly they also elect the new Head of Government, the General-Kanzler or Chancellor; this position goes to a representative of the winning party.
The ceremonial position of Head of State will be executed by the Patriarch of Europe, seated in the Patrimonium, the position involves appointing a Chancellor and Council of Ministers to form a government together.
The Head of Government is the Chancellor, put forward by the winning party in the national elections. The Chancellor assembles a council of ministers to form the executive branch with. The Chancellor names the High Council to form the judicial branch. In periods of National Disaster or War the Chancellor gets emergency powers that allow him to rule the Holy See without interference of the Patriarch, legislative and judicial branch.
