Kelamí League: Difference between revisions

The six nations part of the League's confederacy are termed ''LakeyuLekaëyu''. This word means various things: nation, tribe, people, nationality, ethnicity. Its contemporary context refers to countries and government-administered territories. The six ''LakeyuLekaëyu'' are each run by distinct Matriarchal Conventions and represented by Chief Advisors, serving at the pleasure of the Conventions. Matriarchal Conventions are elected bodies, made up of women of at least 60 years of age with experience in administration, economics, engineering, science, and other specialty fields. The Matriarchs serve for life, using their accumulated knowledge and wisdom to guide the ''LakeyuLekaëyu'' on paths that benefit all residents. Duties of the Matriarchal Conventions include setting a nation's annual budget priorities, debating and creating ''LakeyuLekaëyu-''level laws, managing the relations between other the other League states, and addressing pressing issues facing the population. These duties combine that of an executive and legislative branch. The Conventions each appoint a Chief Advisor. These officials are the liaisons between the Matriarchs and the various organs of government in the ''LakeyuLekaëyu''. They officiate meetings of state, bring matters to the table for the Matriarchs, provide context and precedence of prior decisions, organize legal and clerical activities, and ensure that all Convention decisions are fully followed up on.
