The National Conglomerate of Prybourne is a unique political system that operates as a Corporatocracy in the region of Anteria. Composed of 12 states and several oversea client states, the National Conglomerate is a conglomerate of multiple business entities that operate as the national government of Prybourne. This system allows for the government and private enterprise to work hand in hand to ensure the success and prosperity of the nation. The National Conglomerate is divided into defacto three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. These branches have their powers and responsibilities defined by the Constitution of Prybourne, also known as the Bill of Opportunities. This document serves as the foundation of the Prybournean legal system, outlining the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the structure of government.

Executive

The Grand Nagus (Spanish: Gran Nagus de Priborn) is the head of state and the Capitán General of the Corporate Combat Forces in the Prybournean Conglomerate. The current Grand Nagus is Juliana de la Cruz, who serves as both the political and economic leader of the nation. Virtually all decisions that affect Prybourne must receive the approval of the Grand Nagus, whose powers are supported by the Prybourne Bill of Opportunities and backed by the First Clerk and Prybourne Commerce Authority. While the National Board of Executives plays a significant role in the management of the Prybournean Conglomerate, the Grand Nagus operates independently and has the power to overrule decisions made by the National Board of Executives. This authority is supported by the Chief Executives Board, which is composed of members of the Fortune Five and serves as an advisory body to the Grand Nagus.

The Grand Nagus is elected from the Chief Executives Board by its members and serves until their death, removal, or step down from office. This position is highly respected and carries significant power and influence within the Prybournean Conglomerate. As the head of state, the Grand Nagus is responsible for ensuring the prosperity and growth of the nation, as well as protecting its citizens and interests. The Capitán General of the Corporate Combat Forces is another important role held by the Grand Nagus. This position is responsible for overseeing the military forces of Prybourne, which are composed of private security forces and corporate militias. The Corporate Combat Forces are trained to protect the nation's interests and assets, as well as to engage in offensive operations when necessary.

Legislative

The National Board of Executives is the unicameral legislature of the National Conglomerate of Prybourne. The Board meets in the Tower of Commerce in Duron, the capital of Prybourne, and consists of 12 members, each representing one of the 12 states in the Conglomerate. The primary responsibility of the National Board of Executives is to write and pass national legislation. To accomplish this task, the Board divides its work into separate committees, each specializing in different areas of lawmaking. These committees are responsible for conducting research, drafting legislation, and making recommendations to the full Board for consideration and vote.

To assist in their work, members of the Board have staff and offices, and there are also ancillary organizations that provide them with information and enforcement capabilities. Additionally, a vast industry of lobbyists operates within the National Conglomerate to advocate for diverse corporate and labor interests and help members of the Board write legislation that aligns with these interests.

The National Board of Executives is headed by the First Clerk, who is elected on a national basis from among the corporate representatives on the Board to 10-year terms. There are no term limits for the First Clerk, meaning they can potentially serve in this role for decades. The First Clerk is responsible for presiding over Board meetings, setting the agenda, and managing the legislative process. They also have the power to veto legislation and overrule decisions made by the Board. In addition to its legislative duties, the National Board of Executives also has the power to impeach and remove members of the conglomerate for misconduct or violations of the Constitution of Prybourne. This power is rarely used, but it serves as a critical check on the power of the Executive Branch and ensures that the National Conglomerate operates within the bounds of the law.

Judicial

The Prybourne Judicatory Commission (Spanish:Comisión Judicatora de Priborn) is a unique organization within the national judiciary of Prybourne. Unlike traditional court systems, the Judicatory Commission is a privatized overseer organization that has ultimate and largely discretionary appellate jurisdiction over all national and state court cases. This means that any legal case, regardless of its origin or level of complexity, can be appealed to the Judicatory Commission for review and final decision. The Commission is composed of highly trained legal experts, including judges and attorneys, who are appointed to their positions by the Grand Nagus.

One of the most significant responsibilities of the Judicatory Commission is to oversee the Prybourne Commerce Authority, the body responsible for enforcing the Prybournean Rules of Acquisition and Trade By-Laws. The Commission has the power to investigate complaints and allegations of misconduct against the Commerce Authority and take appropriate action if necessary. Because of its broad jurisdiction and discretionary powers, the Judicatory Commission is often viewed as one of the most influential institutions in Prybourne. Its decisions can have far-reaching implications for businesses, individuals, and even the national government itself.
