The Constitution of Katyunon is the document that sets out how the federation functions and the powers of the Federal, National and local governments.
Article 1 describes the role of the federal government. the Katyunion Congress of Soviets would have 400 seats in total. All members are to be elected every 5 years by single transferable vote. they alone would hold power over defence and foreign policy. they would also control the federal bank and be in charge of monetary policy. To ensure fair trade, all safety, security, environmental and trade regulations, as well as workers rights, would be decided by the federal government the revenue for the Federal government is generated through contributions from each nations budget and Import duties . The Katyunon Congress of Soviets alone would be allowed to change the constitution, this is done through a majority vote for an amendment in the Katyunion Congress of Soviets followed by a confirmation vote in the devolved national governments. the Congress would select 1 member to become Premier, he would the select his ministers from the Congress, requiring a confidence vote from the congress for their appointment.
Article 2 describes the role of the National governments. each nation in the federation would have its own national parliaments each elected every 5 years by single transferable vote. the amount of seats in these parliaments are decided by population and must all total the amount of seats in the Katyunion Congress of Soviets.
Article 3 sets out local government responsibility. local Soviets are to be elected every 5 years and are in charge of managing local economies. They have the power to set land value taxes for their area and to use this money to improve local communities how they see fit. Local Soviets may start local construction projects without the permission of the national Soviet, however, if the national Soviet wishes to begin construction in a Local Soviets jurisdiction, they must receive permission from the Local Soviet, giving Local Soviets and effective veto on government projects.

Article 4 codifies a commitment to an egalitarian and democratic economic policy. Article 4 prohibits private ownership entirely, so all enterprises must be socially owned, either by the public or as a cooperative. It mandates that all enterprises must have democratically elected and accountable leadership through an Independent Trade Union. the electorate, workers who are union members , usually elect shop-steward councils which act as management for individual workplaces, as well as a stewardship board which decide the value of their labour as well as allocation of resources and the national strategy to meet their production goals, this is not the same in all industries but is the most widely used model. planning decisions are made by Local soviets and regional planning boards made up of members of the local soviets. National governments also appoint national planning boards to make planning decisions in the interests of the nation as a whole. these boards decide production goals for public enterprises and the compensation for their labour and can set targets for cooperatives if needed through the negotiation of planning agreements with the Stewardship board. the syndicates however independently plan how to meet these goals and are to be free form direct government interference.
Article 5 sets out the role of the judiciary. the supreme court of Katyunon is made up of two representatives from each nation, appointed by each national supreme court. Each nation within the federation has its own supreme court, which is elected by the people within that nation every 10 years. local court judges are then appointed by the national supreme courts. These courts are to hold the executive and legislature to account, ensure they follow the constitution through the use of judicial review and to
