The Temuric Confederacy (Volghar: Tyemul Qolboony Uls), also known as Temurorda or Volghar, is a sovereign state in northern and central Alai on the planet of Eordus.
Etymology
Temurism refers to a nationalist cultural and political movement which proclaims the ethno-cultural union of all peoples of inner and central Alaian origin. In particular, those peoples who were historically associated with the vast steppe nations of the middle ages. Most commonly, the term Temuric has been associated with a pan-nationalist union between peoples of Turanic and Kheeratian origin. The term Temuric itself is derived from the Temur mountain range that forms much of the eastern border of the Confederacy, and forms the historical border between Alai and Estere.

Executive and Legislature
The Temuric Confederacy is a federation and a parliamentary republic. Unlike other states that use the parliamentary model, both the head of state and the head of government are subject to the confidence of the legislature. The federal judiciary operates entirely separately from the federal legislature and executive and has the ability to undertake judicial review to ensure that both executive and legislature act in such a way that is congruent with the Constitution.
The House of Nations, the upper house, consists of forty-eight (48) members with two Members of the House of Nations (MHN) elected by each of the sixteen states, an additional four MHNs elected by each of the confederal regions of South Turanorda and Greater Volghar, two additional MHNs elected by each of the confederal regions of Sabir and East Kheeratia, and four by a national vote. The head of state, the National Executor, is elected by the House of Nations and is traditionally the leader of the party or coalition that holds a majority in the upper house.
The House of Assembly, the lower house, consists of three-hundred and fifteen (315) Members of the House of Assembly (MHA) elected by instant-run off voting from individual member constituencies. The head of government, the Popular Executor, is elected in the same vein as the head of state, by the lower house and is also traditionally the leader of the party or coalition that holds a majority in the lower house.
The executive branch of the government consists of the Executors, the most senior of which form the Cabinet. The Executors can be drawn from either house of the parliament, and the Cabinet must include both the National Executor and the Popular Executor. The constitution expressly sets forth certain powers to each house, and thus, certain executive portfolios must be granted to a Member of the House of Nations or a Member of the House of Assembly respectively. For example, as the defence portfolio is constitutionally entrenched as being a power under the purview of the House of Nations, the Executor of Defence must be a MHN.
The upper house does not serve as a house of review to the lower house, nor vice-versa, each house acts independently and separately from the other and are endowed with powers to make laws with regard to certain issues as granted to them by the constitution. It is the role of the judiciary, in particular the Supreme Court, to determine which powers fall to each of the federal houses, and which fall to the individual States.
2013 Constitutional Crisis
Following the 2013 election, it became impossible for the two Houses to form a working coalition government. The House of Nations continued to be held by the National Autarchist Party of the Temur whilst the Lower House saw a vast swing to anti-establishment and populist parties. After months of negotiation, the left-wing populist Party for Change and Democracy and the centrist populist party The Movement agreed to back the centre-left Labourite Party on the condition that they would not form government with the National Autarchist or Progress Party. As such, the relevant Executors appointed from each House refused to form a working cabinet, and the political progress was locked into an effective standstill.
Attempts to call for another election by the House of Assembly were blocked by the House of Nations, with the National Executor of the time, Mönkhbat Temujin, declaring that any attempt to rehold the election under current electoral laws would merely see a return of the current political deadlock. Accordingly, he sought special permission from the Supreme Court to enter into Constitutional negotiation which was in turn granted.
The Temuric Constitution allows for the alteration of electoral laws with permission from both Houses of Parliament, which was effectively impossible to achieve in the existing political situation. The National Autarchist controlled House of Nations' solution was to appeal directly to the States to alter their own electoral laws. Promising to pass retrospective legislation conferring Confederal electoral power to the States to determine how Members of both Houses were returned. In turn, the Supreme Court would not accept any challenge to the Constitutionality of the new State laws until six-months after the date of the election. Opposition to this proposed change was vocal and prevalent, claiming that it was inherently anti-democratic and a blatant power grab by the National Autarchist Party which controlled eleven out of sixteen State legislatures. The 2013 Temuric Riots ensued nationwide following the first of these l
