South Hills: Difference between revisions

Line 162:

The Constitution requires that each state be governed under a republican government, the definition of republic in the Constitution differing from the standard Staynish definition in the sense that it simply refers to the requirement to be constituent and subordinate to the larger Confederation. This gave rise to a new term, referring to the states as concordian republics. The governance of each state is influenced significantly by its history and circumstances. Because South Hills was initially formed from a unification between three kingdoms in the Ulvrikian civilization and the codexian-speaking [[Kingdom of Thesland]], they are governed differently than the rest of the country, whose systems of government reflect the political systems under which they were governed before their annexation into the nation.

The northernmost states (namely Oakenheim, Rødhøyde, and Meldan) inherited many aspects of the Ulvrikian forms of governance, having in their past been regions of the medieval Jarldom of Eyjaria, and earlier been part of the Ulvrikian Empire. In the modern day this manifests in a Governor-Jarl who is directly elected by the residents of the state. The Governor-Jarl has the power to appoint members of the executive branch, promulgate state legislation, represent state interests abroad and to the Union government, to grant pardons, and to dissolve the state legislature. The daily administration of the state is vested in the Avgjørelsehus (the State Cabinet) which consists of the state Premier who is required to command the confidence of the Avgjørelsehus and who in turn appoints the State who helm executive departments.

The tendency of the Ulvriks to summon large gatherings of their common people to deliberate on issues of import to the community persists in the form of the lower legislature, known as the Moothus, in which the legislative body consists of citizens selected by a voluntary lottery once a year to deliberate issues of import, and approve the report of the executive branch on the governance of the State. With regular governance having been vested in a body of nobles, the Ulvrikian states retain an upper legislative chamber of full-time legislators elected by proportional representation, known as the Edelhus.
